<P> The Grand Canal ( Irish : An Chanáil Mhór ) is the southernmost of a pair of canals that connect Dublin , in the east of Ireland , with the River Shannon in the west , via Tullamore and a number of other villages and towns , the two canals nearly encircling Dublin 's inner city . Its sister canal on the Northside of Dublin is the Royal Canal . The last working cargo barge passed through the Grand Canal in 1960 . </P>
