Ranelagh has been a victim of the Tiger Economy, although not completly destroyed like Dundrum, the majority of small family run businesses have closed in the last four years, Jason's has been closed at least two years. The main street is now lined with coffee shops. Scoil Éanna (St Enda's) in Cullenswood, Ranelagh was founded by Patrick Pearse (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Pearse). The school was a centre of the cultural Nationalist Movement, frequented by artists such as Jack B Yeats (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Yeats), Beatrice Elvery (Lady Glenavy, RHA, 1881-1970) and Sarah Purser (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Purser) (paraphrased from the Ranelagh Arts Festival Guide, 2006). Ranelagh is also home to the Dillon Garden (http://www.dillongarden.com), created over the last 34 years by Helen Dillon, a renowned plantswoman. --Remou 12:04, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
