Wide Streets Commission
The Wide Streets Commission was a body set up by the Irish Parliament in 1757 to lay out a broad new street from Essex Bridge to Dublin Castle. Over the following decades it planned much of Georgian Dublin, including Parliament Street, Westmoreland Street and D'Olier Street and the widening of Sackville Street, now O'Connell Street.
