St. Patrick's Street

St. Patrick's Street

St Patrick's Street ("Sráid Naomh Pádraig" in Irish), affectionately called "Pana" by Corkonians, is the main shopping street in Cork, Ireland. Since its redevelopment in 2004, it has twice won the award as Ireland's best shopping street. [ [http://www.corkpastandpresent.ie/places/patrick.shtml Cork City Library - Cork history initiative - Patrick Street] ]

The street itself runs in a curve from Saint Patrick's Quay to Daunt Square, where it meets Grand Parade. Saint Patrick's Street gets its curved shape because it is built over an arm of the River Lee. It is home to a number of notable retail outlets such as Debenhams, Penneys, Dunnes Stores and Brown Thomas.
