"Leeson Street (Irish: Sr\u00E1id L\u00EDosain) is a thoroughfare near central Dublin, Ireland.Originally known as Suesey Street, it was renamed in 1728 after the Leesons, a family of local brewers, who branched into property development and subsequently became Earls of Milltown.In 1767 a Magdalen Asylum was established by Lady Arabella Denny in the street for Protestant women.The street is divided into two parts by the Grand Canal: Lower Leeson Street, in Dublin 2 is to the north of the canal, linking to St Stephen's Green, with Upper Leeson Street, in the Dublin 4 region, south of the canal.The main office of the Ombudsman is located on the lower end of the street.
