"That on the application of Mr James Rea, a new street off Aughrim Street between City Street and Madeline Street be named "Boyne Street,' and a new a street from City Street to Blythe Street be named Majestic Street". (17th July 1889).
Boyne Street took its name from the Battle of the Boyne in 1690, celebrated each year on 12th July. Whilst Boyne Street has been cleared, the name Boyne Court still in use in the neighbourhood. Boyne Court is a building as well as a street. Dublin still has a street called Boyne Street.
