Bust of James Mangan
James Clarence Mangan was born in Dublin in 1803. The son of a poor grocer, he worked as a lawyers clerk among other things. His true talent, however , was poetry.
He started learning languages with the guidance of a Fr. Graham who taught him Latin, Spanish, French and German. He wrote ‘charades, enigmas & riddles’ for almanacs and directories under pseudonyms. He died in the cholera epidemic of 1849 after a life of unrelieved poverty.
St Stephen's Green

St Stephen's Green is a city centre public park and square in Dublin. The current landscape of the park was designed by William Sheppard. It was officially opened to the public on 27 July 1880 by Lord Ardilaun. The park is adjacent to one of Dublin's main shopping streets, Grafton Street, and to a shopping centre named for it, while on its surrounding streets are the offices of a number of public bodies as well as a stop on one of Dublin's Luas tram lines. It is often informally called Stephen's Green. At 22 acres, it is the largest of the parks in Dublin's main Georgian garden squares. Others include nearby Merrion Square and Fitzwilliam Square.
