What people say
Maeve Cutts
"One of the older bridges that connect Northside and Southside. It used to cost half a penny to cross the bridge which gave it its name today! Right after you cross the bridge going south is Merchant's Arch into Temple Bar."

"Do you know why it has this name?
Is because many years ago it was the only bridge in Dublin, so the only way to move between the northern and the southern side of the river, and to pass it you had to pay a half penny."
