It's true, but not just for Dublin...London, York and Oxford for sure - and probably many other towns - all had similarly-named streets/passageways. Little imagination is required to work out what the thoroughfare's principal occupation was!
Confirm there was one in London also - in the City. we also have Coppice Lane (once Codpiece) and Star Alley (once Sl*t Alley).
PS apologies of this eventually pops up twice - think first version may have got quarentined by the Language police.
