  It is still Hanlon's.... maps.app.goo.gl/fyvomaJsKwkBNBX49 my guess would be that photo was taken shortly before midday... shadows are to the NNW

  Wikipedia includes a photo in O'Connell Street labelled: The inauguration of Seán T. O'Kelly as President of Ireland in 1945. The 2nd Cavalry Squadron of the Blue Hussars escort the President, who travelled in the late Queen Alexandra's landau. The Landau and the Hussars were later scrapped which may explain why I never heard of them before.

• Niall McAuley said:

  A pic auctioned at Whytes is labellled: The Blue Hussars, officially called the Mounted Escort, was a ceremonial unit of the Irish Army established in 1932. It escorted the President of Ireland on state occasions, most famously to and from presidential inaugurations between 1938, when the first president took office, and 1948 when the Escort was disbanded.Seven photographs of the procession of president Sean T. O'Kelly on his inauguration. O'Kelly travelled in the late Queen Alexandra's horse-drawn landau, the first (and only) time when a president went to his or her inauguration in a horse-drawn carriage rather than a car, escorted by the Mounted Escort, or Blue Hussars"; together with a copy photograph of mounted British troops at Dublin Castle.

• Niall McAuley said:

  So the route was Dublin Castle, up O'Connell Street and then presumably North Circular Road? (Or some shorter but windier route) to the Phoenix Park.

• Niall McAuley said:

  Yes, in NPA OKE/65 they are turning from Berkeley Road onto the NCR. So Castle, College Green, O'Connell St. Parnell Square, Berkeley St/Rd, NCR, todays shot at Hanlon's Corner and into the Phoenix Park.
