Eyre Square

Eyre Square (aka: John F. Kennedy Memorial Park) is a small, grassy public park located in the city center of Galway, Ireland. Many shops and restaurants surround this public square.
Noteworthy sights in the park include:
1. A portrait bust of JFK. (He made a speech in the park in 1963.
2. The Browne family mansion doorway (1627)
3. A statue of Liam Mellows located in the parking lot east of the Browne Doorway.
4. Quincentennial Fountain (1984)
FUN FACT: When I first read about Eyre Square I discovered that the Quincentennial Fountain in the center of the square represents the «Galway Hooker». (No, not that type of hooker!) The «Galway Hooker» is a traditional fishing boat that is indigenous to Galway, Ireland.
