Eamonn Ceannt Park — Attraction in Dublin

When the quary was abandoned HB used to dump ice cream in the pits which according to speculative folk the accumulation of all those nutrients is the reason why the grass there today is so green.

Named after eammon ceannt who had no connection with the area but is proudly claimed by locals for his love of the gael, defiance to the enemies authority and his commitment to a world that could be.
