Phoenix Park
About Phoenix Park
The Phoenix Park is a large public urban park in Dublin, Ireland, lying 2–4 kilometres (1.2–2.5 mi) west of the city centre, north of the River Liffey. Its 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) perimeter wall encloses 707 hectares of recreational space. It includes large areas of grassland and tree-lined avenues, and since the 17th century has been home to a herd of wild fallow deer. The Irish Government has lobbied UNESCO to have the park designated as a World Heritage Site.
On the show
Last year the Pope came here, and apparently Paddy Power erected a massive confessional just opposite Phoenix Park. It was obviously a publicity stunt, but they said they'd put these adverts out saying, we invite everyone to come and have their sins absolved.
