Thu 05 May 2007A new square for Dublin in DonnybrookChanging City:As traditional squares go, the quarter acre communal garden at Edward Square in Donnybrook is on the small side. But then again, nothing of this style has been built in Dublin for over a century and space is at a little bit more of a premium now than it was in the mid-1800s.The imposing five-floor terraced houses that form the residential square certainly make up for it. Final touches are now being put to the swish development on the former Quaker Hospital site at Bloomfield Avenue, off Morehampton Road.
