It's thought that the London one is older (but nobody's certain) The Temple Bar (It's a district in town) in Dublin some think was named after the one in London...but it's more likely named after Sir William Temple, provost of Trinity College Dublin in 1609. Lots of Irish Historical things were based from the Temple Bar area before WWI (Joyce wrote much of Ullysses there...as every pub will inform you) and then again it had a huge cultural resurgence in the late 1970s as an area iconic to culture specifically Irish (as opposed to British)
