Top left says Old Mill on Poddle River, Dolphin's Barn, 1893.
Which confused me, as I didn't think the Poddle flowed through Dolphin's Barn.
But looking at the 6" and 25", I see Rutland Mills, with a mill race coming from the Poddle.
The mill would have been at the junction of Rutland Avenue and Clogher Road.
In Google's aerial view linked below, you can still see where the mill race left the Poddle beside (now) Mount Argos Square -

Bottom right
Perhaps top right refers to Emmet’s hideaway, not Lord Edward?
If so, that house is long gone -

On the 6", the stone which splits the Poddle is marked as Tongue and the small townland Tonguefield.
But in Google maps, it is marked as Stone Boat, which is where the Kimmage pub gets its name. -

" ... Arrest and death
Lord Edward's hiding place with the feather merchant Nicholas Murphy was betrayed to the spymaster Francis Higgins (qv) by the secretive catholic barrister Francis Magan (qv), who received the £1,000 reward. At seven in the evening on 19 May, an arrest party led by Major Sirr (qv) burst into his upstairs room at 151 Thomas Street in the heart of the Liberties. FitzGerald fiercely resisted arrest, killed one man with his dagger, but sustained serious injuries himself when Sirr shot him in the shoulder at point-blank range. He was taken to Dublin Castle and then jailed in Newgate. ..."

"House at Harold's Cross Bridge, Dublin where it ____ Lord Ed Fitzgerald was concealed"
A pair of twin Dutch Billy's near Harold's Cross bridge with a cruciform roof plan, long since demolished, I wonder how long they lasted. I don't recall ever seeing them or that particular photo before. Likely on the Northern side of the bridge anyway.
Lets go to Slane, sure nothing ever happens there!

National Library of Ireland on The Commons Interesting report on the riots prior to the 1984 Bob Dylan concert.
MyThe Brother went to see 84-year-old Bob Dylan in concert at Swansea a couple of weeks ago. He wasn't impressed. "The stage wasn't lit so I can't be sure. There was a disembodied voice coming from somewhere from someone who could have been a very bad Dylan impersonator." The audience was "largely disgruntled", but no rioting, no windows broken, and no officers of the law barricaded in their station house.
