Bhí baint ag an gcuid seo den chathair le gluaiseacht Chumann na gCarad tráth dá raibh. Quakers a thugtar ar Chumann na gCarad as Béarla agus bhíodh cáil orthu as an gcaoinfhulaingt reiligiúnach, as an gcarthanacht agus as a rathúlacht i ngnó.
Quaker Quarter
This area of the city was once linked with the Quaker movement. Otherwise known as the Religious Society of Friends, Quakers were noted for their religious tolerance, charity and success in business.
Tá reilig Chumann na gCarad á húsáid fós i ndeisceart na cathrach.
Tá na leaca uaighe go léir ar aon chruth, ar aon mhéid agus is ionann na litreacha orthu go léir, rud a chuireann creideamh Chumann na gCarad in iúl gur mar a chéile gach duine.
The Quaker community’s burial ground is still in use today in the south of the city.
