    An easy streetview: goo.gl/maps/oAnS3FjLQi9Rx5oC7 This might be a controversial opinion, but I think the trees detract from the O'Connell Street streetscape. And here's some more info about the building: www.buildingsofireland.ie/buildings-search/building/50010... Prominently situated on the corner of O’Connell Street Lower and Lower Abbey Street, this bank building was built in 1916-19 by Ralph Byrne after the destruction of the Easter Rising. C.W. Harrison & Sons executed the elaborate carvings. Nos.12-13 were acquired by Irish Permanent Building Society from the Hibernian Bank in the 1950s.

    George FitzPatrick It is a Triumph 1300 (1965 - 1970) - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triumph_1300 Surprised - "...The Triumph 1300 has a following today in the UK classic car movement, though some parts are now scarce and the number of surviving cars not especially high."

    Nice to see this plane again! I was at that race on July 18, 1971, and watched it catch fire and crash. Very sad...

    New Ross Standard - Thursday 20 May 1993 carried a notice for an auction of railway sleepers and rails from the former Quigley Magnesite Plant at Ballynacourty. So it had gone by May 1993.

    It was near Ballinacourty Lighthouse according to the site above. It would have been unbelievably fugly in what is a beautiful place.

    Wikipedia article on Magnesite.

    Used , and in the production of Magnesium Oxide, a heat resistant material.

    Also used in floor screeds, and as a catalyst.

    I'm not a big fan of using seaside land as golf courses, but there's no doubt it looks better now!
