Rutland Street is a street in Limerick City centre that forms part of the main central thoroughfare of the city which incorporates Rutland St., Patrick St. & O'Connell St. Named after the 4th Duke of Rutland, Charles Manners, who was appointed Lord Lieutenant of Ireland in 1784 and visited Limerick in 1785, Rutland Street along with nearby Bank Place features some of Limerick's earliest (& oldest) examples of Georgian Architecture. It was the first street developed as part of Edmund Sexton Pery's plans for Newtown Pery, and was the first part of the great Georgian expansion of Limerick.
