Fascinating history - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dublin_Castle , including this 'now' photo - upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2d/Dublin-Castle... "... At the heart of the gardens is the grassy sward of the Dubh Linn Garden, where patterns representing sea serpents are cut into the lawn. This lawn is on or near the site of the original dubh linn or ‘black pool’, where the Vikings harboured their ships and set up a trading base. It was this pool that gave its name to the city: Dublin. ..." From - www.dublincastle.ie/the-castle-gardens/

Wikipedia has a drawing of the castle in maybe 1600 showing where the lawn is at right.

Can't be too hard to identify the regiments. There weren't many with bearskins.

The lamp in the archway hasn't survived the passage of time, apart from that, little has changed

derangedlemur Would the Irish Guards be too obvious?

The rifles are quite long - Without going to check, I'd guess pre-WWI Lee Enfields.

a quick Google flags up a series of NLI held docs from the 1880s where he seems to have acted as a Government solicitor ?

If the same man he was a resident magistrate.. RM..who took part in the Vandeleur evictions in 1888. Not well liked in Moyasta and beyond.

“Roche's appointment to the position
of Resident Magistrate over other, more senior
Removable Magistrates was questioned, as was
his ability to impartially enforce the Crimes Act,
given his association with the Loyal and Patriotic
Union, a fervently anti-Home Rule organization. '3
Roche's reputation for harsh sentencing and for
self-importance was likewise a cause for complaint
in the House of Commons." In this photograph he
wears a check-pattern yellow-hued suit, which he
wore frequently in the eviction photographs. He
was often recorded as he is seen here, sitting on a
low boundary wall, acting as "judge and jury', in the
summary sentencing of those who resisted eviction.
He was remembered later with his hat rakishly riding
forward on the bridge of his nose as he sentenced the
evicted tenants on the spot”
