Poetry Ireland

Poetry Ireland / Éigse Éireann connects poetry and people. We are committed to achieving excellence in the reading, writing and performance of poetry throughout the island of Ireland.

Entrance

The main entrance is via the front door of No.11 on Parnell Square, via a series of steps. The entrance is accessed via a ramp that negotiates that change in level from street to the entrance. A small step is located at the front door. A portable and robust ramp is available to negotiate this change in level for any wheelchair users. We ask visitors who require ramp access to inform us in advance. All visitors will be greeted when on site and directed towards the relevant rooms.

No. 11 is widely served by public transit routes as below. Nearest indoor car parks are at Q-Park Clerys and Park Rite Parnell.
