Royal Canal - The Auld Triangle

The Royal Canal was immortalised in verse by Brendan Behan's brother in The Auld Triangle. A monument featuring Behan sitting on a bench was erected on the canal bank at Binn's Bridge in Drumcondra in 2004.

And the auld triangle went jingle jangle,

All along the banks of the Royal Canal.

The other major canal in Ireland is the Grand Canal from Dublin's southside through the Midlands to the River Shannon.
