Hey, #5, a rolling stock engineer, is named McAuley! (No relation)

Niall McAuley Though he is very dapper!

Niall McAuley The premises extend to Marlborough St, which also has an entrance, blue door
Look for the ‘DUTC’ name at top of this building
A streetview would be good, doesn’t work on my device unfortunately
The canteen is used by bus and rail crew, Earl Place entrance, all welcome, good place for a cheap lunch

Suck Diesel Here is the Marlborough St. Streetview, with DUTC visible high up

When I was in school our big day out was a trip to Dublin to visit the Zoo, the airport and other places of interest. Our "dinner" was served in the CIE Club where we mixed with other school groups from all over. Never thought I'd end up working nearby for years.

Niall McAuley Thanks, you have to know where to look for these tram remnants

This is quite wonderful. Congratulations on your explore spot!

Huge congratulations on hitting Explore! This portrait is a masterclass in quiet power - your lighting and composition give Dr. F. Vandeen a timeless, dignified presence, and the soft vignette draws the viewer straight to that thoughtful gaze. Beautiful work - evocative, well-crafted, and totally deserved recognition. Keep making images that speak so clearly.

.....and writing one of the first modern spy thrillers...

Wondering if this might his reburial in 1923 ?? It looks a bit 'fancy' for a prison.
See - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erskine_Childers_(author)#Execution

Or ... 1924?

"This photo is Hardwicke Hall, Dublin in Oct 1924. He was given an IRA Guard of Honour, 4 men at attention in shifts for 24hrs straight. My granduncle, Robert Childers, 2nd son of @erskineandmolly
was present. Molly couldn’t bare it, had collapsed with grief in the morning. " ...

He is said to have shaken hands with the members of his firing squad, saying, "Take a step or two forward, lads, it will be easier that way."

Hardwicke Hall

Via Trove, some more details ...

November 1922 - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/210509012?searchTerm=e... - "He was buried in a grave already prepared nearby" in Beggars' Bush Barracks.

October 1924 - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/84311173?searchTerm=er... - "Irish Rebels' Remains handed over to Relatives". "Public funerals will be held on Thursday [ed. 30/10/1924].
The bodies in the meanwhile will lie in state at different centres."

October 1924 - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/54291385?searchTerm=er... - "Wild scenes at re-interment of the executed men".

Does anyone know where Hardwicke Hall was (is)?

His life and times

www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2022/1123/1337715-robert-erskine-...

“Two years later, in October 1924, the bodies of 18 Civil War republicans (including Childers and those known as the "Mountjoy 10") were exhumed to be returned to their families for proper burial.
Because Childers was a member of the Church of Ireland, his remains were separated from his Catholic comrades and did not lie in state with them. Instead, while the others were brought to the Whitefriar Street Carmelite Church, Childers' body was brought to and lay in rest at Hardwicke Hall in Dublin before the funeral.
On October 30, 1924, his coffin was finally joined by the others in a massive, solemn funeral procession to Glasnevin Cemetery, where he was laid to rest in the Republican Plot”

So, October 1924 it was

Vapor from somewhere is rusting the metal at upper right of this image. You don't know what the wet stuff is so don't get any on your shoe sole. [insert chicken sound here]
