This graphic Liffey Bridges Tea Towel was designed by Clover Rua, It features six iconic Dublin bridges. The Ha'penny Bridge was Dublin's first toll bridge, built in 1816 to replace barges that ferried people from one side to the other. Dubliners were charged to use it to cross for the first 100 years of its existence. Grattan Bridge, whose current incarnation was built by the amazingly named Bindon Blood Stoney, who is also responsible for O'Connell Bridge and the North Bull lighthouse, as well as inventing the diving bell. The James Joyce Bridge, named for the author, and built in 2003, scenes of it being driven down the quays ahead of installation made the nationwide news. One of Joyce's stories - The Dead - was set in nearby 15 Ushers Island. O'Connell Bridge, originally designed by James Gandon and called Carlisle Bridge, the current version was redesigned and renamed in 1882, and is unusual as it is wider than it is long, with a span of 45m and a width of 50m. Rory O'Moore Bridge, formerly the Victoria & Albert bridge it was renamed for Rory O'Moore, a central figure in the Irish rebellion of 1641. Samuel Beckett Bridge is the most recent addition to Dublin's bridges and was designed by Santiago Calatrava , who also designed the James Joyce Bridge. It's designed to echo a harp on its side and can be opened to allow large ships to pass upstream. The strings of the harp can be lit up using low-energy LED in various colours to display images or messages. The Loopline Bridge for the Dart, built in 1891, was very controversial at the time as it blocked the view of the Custom House; it was deemed necessary to allow transatlantic mail to be delivered from both Cobh and Dun Laoghaire ports.

A lovely cotton tea towel featuring Liberty Hall by Clover Rua Completed in 1965, Liberty Hall was the tallest building in Ireland at the time. It was the headquarters of SIPTU. The site, where the original Liberty Hall stood, was used as a munitions factory for the Easter Rising in 1916, and a soup kitchen during the Dublin Lock Out in 1913. The current building was damaged in the 1972 Dublin Bombing by the UVF, and was almost torn down in 2012, but was saved by An Bord Pleanála , overturning the planning permission that had already been granted for the new building.

A view of Croke Park, the home of the GAA. There has been a stadium on this site since 1891, but this view is of the redeveloped stadium completed in 2005. The redevelopment was done in 4 stages, starting in 1991, so the stadium was never completely closed during the redevelopment, and the All-Irelands were still played here every year. With a capacity of 82,300, Croke Park is the 4th largest capacity stadium in Europe and the largest not used for soccer. Not bad for an amateur sport. See the full collection of Clover Rua .
