Birthplace of Padraig Pearse converted into theatre space
The Dublin birthplace of icon Padraig Pearse which has suffered decades of neglect is now the site of a new city centre theatre space.
The leader of the 1916 Rising was born in the terraced house on Dublin’s Pearse Street in 1879, but by the 1990s the building was close to collapse before campaigners began restoration work.
