A short walk through Ireland's most famous planned suburb — a 1960s church built for a brand-new parish, a bronze horse that reclaimed a colonial monument for a local teenager, the recorded site of a vanished house that produced a world-spanning religious order, and what's left of the shopping centre and tree-planting scheme that tried to hold the estate together.
