O'DONOVAN ROSSA BRIDGE
This bridge was renamed in 1922 in memory of Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa 1831-1915
"The clear true eyes of this man almost alone in his day visioned Ireland as
we of today would surely have her: not free merely, but Gaelic as well;
not Gaeli merely, but free and noble as well".
Patrick Pearse 1915
