Dublin actor Colin Farrell paid a visit to 14 Henrietta Street yesterday, a museum that highlights the real stories of North inner city residents.

"Thank you so much to Colin Farrell for visiting us for a guided tour of 14 Henrietta Street. We hope you enjoyed your time with us."

14 Henrietta Street showcases over 300 years of Dublin city's history. Houses on the street were first built for Ireland's wealthiest in the 1720s but later these homes would become grim tenement buildings.

By 1911 over 100 people lived under the one roof at 14 Henrietta Street.

Tours of the building now highlight the real life stories of the people that once roamed the streets of Dublin.

Dubliners were delighted to see Colin Farrell embark on the renowned North Dublin tour.
