The Liberties, Dublin
Historic area of central Dublin, Ireland / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Liberties (Irish: Na Saoirsí or occasionally[1] Na Libirtí) is an area in central Dublin, Ireland, located in the southwest of the inner city. Formed from various areas of special manorial jurisdiction, separate from the main city government, it is one of Dublin's most historic working class neighbourhoods. The area was traditionally associated with the River Poddle, market traders and local family-owned businesses, as well as the Guinness brewery, whiskey distilling, and, historically, the textiles industry and tenement housing.
