The Rosie Hackett Bridge (Irish: Droichead Róise Haicéid) is a road and tram bridge in Dublin, Ireland, which opened on 20 May 2014. Spanning the River Liffey and joining Marlborough Street to Hawkins Street, it is used solely by public transport, taxis, cyclists and pedestrians. It is 26 metres wide and 48 metres long, and is a single span, smooth concrete structure, with the underside of the bridge designed to be as high above the water as possible so that river traffic is not impeded. It was built to carry the extended Luas Green line, and was budgeted at €15 million. It is named for trade unionist Rosie Hackett.

Eden Quay (Irish: Cé Éidin) is one of the Dublin quays on the northern bank of the River Liffey in Dublin. The quay runs the bank between O'Connell Bridge and Butt Bridge. The quay is bisected by Marlborough Street and Rosie Hackett Bridge, roughly halfway along its length. The quay is also designated R105 as part of the Irish regional roads convention. Liberty Hall dominates the eastern end of the quay, while at the opposite end is the Irish Nationwide building, both of which were rebuilt following their destruction by the Royal Navy during the 1916 Easter Rising. Businesses on the quay include a number of hotels, bars, restaurants, newsagents, a music venue ('The Wiley Fox'), and a comedy club ('The Laughter Lounge') which was built on the site of a former cinema. The quay is a major terminus for Dublin Bus services to the north east of the city and to the south, with more than 20 routes starting at (or transiting through) the quay. Routes include 14, 15, 27, 27a, 27b, 61 and 151The Liffey Boardwalk, a pedestrian walkway which overhangs several of the Liffey's quays, covers the length of Eden Quay.

Abbey Street (Irish: Sráid na Mainistreach) is a stop on the Luas light-rail tram system in Dublin, Ireland. It opened in 2004 as a stop on the Red Line. The Red Line runs east to west along Abbey Street through the city centre, and the Abbey Street stop is located between O'Connell Street and Marlborough Street, on two lanes reserved for trams. The stop allows access to the O'Connell Street shopping district, the Spire of Dublin and the Abbey Theatre. It has two edge platforms: the westbound platform is integrated into the pavement, and the eastbound platform is an island between the tracks and the single lane used by road traffic. When the Luas was first opened, the two lines did not connect, and Abbey Street was the closest point on the Red line to St. Stephen's Green, the terminus of the Green Line, over a kilometre's walk away. In 2017, Luas Cross City - a construction project which extended the Green Line into north Dubin - was completed, and Abbey Street now forms part of a direct interchange between the two lines. The Green Line travels north through the city centre in a one-way system, with the two tracks crossing the red line on either side of the Abbey Street stop. Located in adjacent streets are O'Connell - GPO for trams traveling north, and Marlborough for trams traveling south. These three stops effectively form one four-platform interchange, and signs on the platforms direct passengers between the lines. The stop also connects with a great number of Dublin Bus routes.

Marlborough (Irish: Maoilbhríde) is a stop on the Luas light-rail tram system in Dublin, Ireland. It opened in 2017 as a stop on Luas Cross City, an extension of the Green Line through the city centre from St. Stephen's Green to Parnell or Broombridge. It is located on Marlborough Street north of the junction with Abbey Street and provides access to Saint Mary's Pro-Cathedral.

Liberty Hall (Irish: Halla na Saoirse), in Dublin, Ireland, is the headquarters of the Services, Industrial, Professional, and Technical Union (SIPTU). Designed by Desmond Rea O'Kelly, it was completed in 1965. It was for a time the tallest building in the country, at 59.4 metres, (195 feet) high until it was superseded by the County Hall in Cork city, which was itself superseded by The Elysian in Cork. Liberty Hall is now the fourth tallest building in Dublin, after Capital Dock, Montevetro (now Google Docks) and the Millennium Tower in Grand Canal Dock.
