<span class="mw-page-title-main">Bachelors Walk, Dublin</span> Street in Dublin, Ireland

Bachelors Walk is a street and quay on the north bank of the Liffey, Dublin, Ireland. It runs between Liffey Street Lower and O'Connell Street Lower and O'Connell Bridge. It was the setting for an eponymous TV series in the early 2000s.

Achmet Borumborad, Achmet Borumbadad, or sometimes simply Dr. Achmet or Mr. Achmet, was the assumed name of an eccentric medical con-artist, or quack, operating in late 18th-century Dublin, who succeeded in gathering financial support for the construction of a Turkish bath on the banks of the River Liffey. Purportedly a doctor, he claimed to have been born in Constantinople (Istanbul) from which he had subsequently fled. In reality, he was the fictitious creation of one Patrick Joyce of Kilkenny, or possibly a William Cairns of Dublin. Adopting the persona of a native Turk, his unusual dress style, turban, and exotic affectations attracted much attention in the city at the time, and he was noted as "the first Turk who had ever walked the streets of Dublin in his native costume."
