Baggot Street Benches: Siobhán Cuffe Wallace Remembered

Dublin City Council recently unveiled 11 park benches throughout Baggot Street. One of the 11 benches is dedicated to the memory of Siobhán Cuffe Wallace who was a beloved member of her community and active in the Pembroke Road Residents Association. Cuffe Wallace was one of the initial proposers of the 11 benches in 2022.

Speaking at the unveiling, Lord Mayor of Dublin James Geoghegan said:   “Dublin is a city of writers and poets, of those who observe and compose music, and who converse in our famous lyrical language. Siobhán understood this better than most.”

The benches are two years in the making and a collaboration between Dublin City Council’s South East Area Office, the City Architects Division, local businesses and the Pembroke Road Residents Association.
