Ba é Geata San Séamus, suite i ngar do chéibheanna theas Bhaile Átha Cliath ar Shráid San Séamus, an príomhbhealach isteach in iarthar na cathrach sna Meánaoiseanna. I rith an ama sin, ba é an geata an pointe tosaigh traidisiúnta d’oilithreacht Camino de Santiago ó Bhaile Átha Cliath go Santiago de Compostela sa Ghailís.[1] Cé gur leagadh an geata meánaoiseach sa bhliain 1734,[2] thug an geata a ainm don cheantar ina raibh sé,[3] agus go háirithe do Ghrúdlann Gheata San Séamus (ar ghlac Arthur Guinness seilbh air sa bhliain 1759).[2]

The name was retained for the location though, largely because there had been a holy well on the site that was the centrepiece for an annual summer festival”
