Could anyone tell me whether the St Francis area of Dublin still exists.

It probably depends on the context, it could be, as aghadowey pointed out, the St Francis church (built around 1830, but as far as I know the Parish wouldn't usually be called St Francis Parish - I'm open to correction there) or it could be a reference to the area around Francis Street on the other side of town:

Where did you come across the reference "St. Francis area", eg. was it in a newspaper article? A book?
