O’Connell Street, Dublin is a quieter, less sanctimonious colourful place today.
Mary Magaret Dunne, the stylish, fun-loving, unremittingly pious, street performer has gone to her reward.
Many say you couldn’t properly call yourself a Dubliner until Mary had singled you out for a spot of the one-one-one scripture-based ‘verbals’
Dave Kelly writes:
“Not many people know this but the Spire was actually erected in tribute to Mary’s shamanic dancing on her traditional spot on O’Connell St. We will not see here likes again, she brought a smile to the city of Dublin for many years. A bemused smile maybe, but a smile none the less.”

The Dublin City Business Improvement District (BID) said restricting access to O’Connell Street to allow the State and community event marking the 100th anniversary of the 1913 Lockout and Bloody Sunday would see shops lose trade on one of the busiest retail days of the year.
