11 Parnell Square East, Dublin

We are currently reaching the end of an exciting project to revive the elegant building where the Trust’s headquarters are based.

Together with Poetry Ireland we are working on a conservation-led project which will turn the building – one of the finest examples of Georgian domestic architecture in city – into a vibrant creative space in the heart of Dublin’s literary quarter and a home for poetry and heritage.
