Parliament House

Dablin, Irska

Parliament House was built during the reign of George II, and completed in 1739. Its deeply Georgian architecture makes it one of the city’s most beautiful buildings, along with Trinity College. At the time, the building housed The House of Lords.As early as 1800, these 2 chambers were dissolved at the request of the British government, which felt that most political progress should take place in London itself, since Ireland belonged to Great Britain. As a result, Irish MPs had to travel to England each time to vote on texts with the rest of the British Parliament. Dublin’s Parliament House was not abandoned, however, and was taken over by the Bank of Ireland as its official headquarters.
