Dublin street corners

Leonard's Corner, Dublin
Kelly's Corner, Dublin

Several notable junctions in Dublin city in Ireland still carry the name (usually unofficially) of the pub or business which once occupied the corner.

While this practice is not unique to Dublin, the pace of recent development there has meant that the original source of the name is more likely to have disappeared.

Examples include:

Other street corners have been named after notable people, for example Rory Gallagher Corner in Temple Bar.
