Leinster House
Suomi
Leinster House, located on Kildare Street in Dublin, is the building that houses the Irish National Parliament. It previously was the residence of the Duke of Leinster, and it became an official governmental building in 1922, when Ireland became an independent republic. The Parliament is bicameral, consisting of a house and a senate, or a lower and upper house. The building was designed by German born Richard Cassels, and is popularly believed to be one of the inspirations for America’s White House. Leinster House has hosted many notable figures in recent history, including British Prime Minister Tony Blair, American President Bill Clinton, and French President Francois Mitterrand. Though Leinster House is open to the public, tours are given by appointment only, when the Parliament isn’t sitting in session. The gardens of Leinster House contain many monuments, including the Obelisk of the Irish Free State, and commemorative plaques to Michael Collins and Arthur Griffith, among others. Leinster House is home to the original copy of the Easter 1916 Proclamation, which declared Ireland to be an independent republic. It is centrally located in Dublin, along with the other governmental buildings, and is easily accessible via public transportation. All of Irelands official buildings are within walking distance of each other, and there are plenty of eateries and accommodations for all budgets nearby.
