    There used to be a chinese take-away across the road from the Central Mental Hospital, Dundrum. It was called The Great Wall.

    (For anyone that is unfamiliar with the hospital it is surrounded by an enormously high wall).

    There was one with exactly the same name on St Anne's Road in Drumcondra here in Dublin. Gone now though.

    Also in Drumcondra, the chipper known as the Perki Chick.
