Inns Quay Dublin

Named after the Kings Inns, which occupied a site here since its foundation in 1561 and was originally based in the cloisters of the former St Saviour‘s Abbey. The entire quay is now given over to the Four Courts and judicial office accommodation. In the early 19th century it was proposed to erect a broad bridge on an axis with the dome of the Four Courts to cross the river.
