It is clear that this is a photograph of two seperate prints tacked to a board, this does not look like the normal (is there a normal?) Eblana process.

Steamer on our left is the Ulster, one of four Mail steamers which began service in 1896. The one on the right looks similar, so is presumably the Leinster, Munster or Connaught.

That obelisk is still in Dun Laoghaire in Streetview.

The obelisk is easy to read here - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000328003 . It commemorates a visit by George IV in 1821. Photo also shows two of the earlier paddle steamer RMS. so pre 1897 (?) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_Dublin_Steam_Packet_Company

Via Trove, this 1864 description - "The greatest event of the month [October 1864], however, has been the inauguration of Father Mathew's statue at Cork, which took place upon the 10th instant, amidst the most gratifying demonstration from all parties. The chisel of the illustrious [John] Hogan has given to us the placid face and the majestic form of the great Apostle, giving us a vivid idea of that inward power which enabled him to sway countless multitudes and subjugate them to his will. The priest, the father, the friend is gone but his spirit still dwells among us, visible in the improved habits not only of our own people but of all civilized nations who now happily look upon drunkenness as a vice and esteem temperance a virtue. ...

There is an earlier stereo pair without the ankle-biter bollards or "The New York House" at No. 12. Might help with dating - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000564283

Noticing that gas lamps, along the street that narrow it to before 1927. esbarchives.ie/2017/09/18/connecting-cork-to-the-national... So, were there tax collection records in Cork or Census, back between 1864 to 1930? Could identify one or two business and then cross-check tax and census records. Furneral notices for business owners along the street would also narrow it down, because it is likely the business did not extend much beyond passing. Clothing, certain hats worn, during a particular span opf time would also help. Further . . . This reference states there were electric trams with overhead powerlines in Cork, from 1901. And, I assume they were horse drawn from December 1898. www.askaboutireland.ie/learning-zone/primary-students/loo... www.askaboutireland.ie/aai-files/assets/libraries/an-chom... Wiki cites 22 December 1898 upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1e/Patrick_Stree... upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3d/Patrick_Stree... upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/86/A_street_scen... (Fergus O'Connor, Photographer) So, which is correct ESB reference or askaboutireland reference for primary schools? I would question the dating of the reference here: catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000320282 Nobody in uniform, street is quite busy, so good economic times. So, assume sometime between 1864 and 1898.
