The Iveagh Market

These photographs are taken of the Iveagh Market. I took them through a break in a window, which you can see above. The Earl of Iveagh opened this market in 1902 to give people a dry place to sell their goods according to warrenmountprimary.com. The market eventually closed down. However, during the Celtic Tiger, the major economic boom in Ireland, Dublin wanted to reopen the market, but eventually ran out of money. It now is boarded up and only holes in the windows are the only ways to see this gorgeous place. It is overgrown with wildlife and is coming out the sides of the buildings. When out of the recession and back into better times Dublin should reopen this beautiful piece of history to the vendors and peopel once more.
