Building on the left is a former school, built c.1900 according to the NIAH (but it appears on the 25" map which was surveyed in 1888): www.buildingsofireland.ie/buildings-search/building/15009... The church was built 1857-61 - NIAH: www.buildingsofireland.ie/buildings-search/building/15009...

Looks like we're missing a few buildings these days: catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000319159

The small building on the right seems to be related to a weighbridge, and the larger building on the right is a Dispensary. The school(s) on the left don't appear on the 1874 town plan, so they appear to date to between 1874 and 1888. 1874 Town Plan: digital.ucd.ie/view-media/ucdlib:41656/canvas/ucdlib:43025
