Gardiner. The banker, property developer, and MP
Luke Gardiner (d. 1755) was involved in urban building projects from as early as 1712. In the 1740s and 1750s he was responsible, with his son Charles, for the development of a large area of what became central Dublin. O'Connell Street, constructed in the 1740s, was originally called Gardiner's Mall. He further enhanced his fortune by holding the lucrative office of deputy vice‐treasurer, which allowed him temporarily to invest official balances on his own account. Charles's son
Luke Gardiner (1745–98), created Viscount Mountjoy 1795, was MP for Co. Dublin 1773–89. His death at the hands of rebels during the
insurrection of 1798 was seen by many as a fit return for his sponsorship of the first
Catholic Relief Acts in 1778 and 1782. His son Charles became earl of Blessington 1816, and married Marguerite Power (1789–1849), who, as ‘Countess of Blessington’, established herself after her husband's death as a popular novelist.
