To narrow the date a little more, other photos have election posters which happened on Wednesday, 7th April 1965 - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1965_Irish_general_election eg - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000047710

Wonderful! In a past life I used to work on St Stephen's Green, just a few doors away from Iveagh House. I remember reading years ago in a book of ghost stories that tradition held that a ghostly cross appeared at one of the windows every Holy Thursday. I've heard at least two explainations for it. The first is that a Catholic servant died in one of the rooms and was refused permission for a visit from a priest by the Protestant owners. The apparition of the cross is said to be a reminder of that injustice. The second is that one of the Guinness family was dying and was being assisted at her deathbed by a Catholic nurse who held a crucifix. Lord Iveagh, we are told, snatched away the crucifix and flung it out the window. I'm not sure if anyone goes to look for the cross any more. I heard somewhere that a crowd used to gather on Holy Thursday to spot it. I suppose a trick of the light is the most likely explaination. Has anyone ever seen it?

I see the lovely Elinor Wiltshire took at least six photos of this facade for some reason. All the photos manage to cut off the top of the building, and show a good deal of road and parking spaces. Was her viewfinder skew-whiff?

Bernard Healy There is a great photo in the Catalogue from the Morgan Aerial Photographic Collection NPA MOR630 which shows Iveagh Gardens and the back of the house.

I think these may be Elinor's nieces again. Dates not always reliable.

Park bench view
beachcomber australia said:
The park bench needs several new wooden slats after 60+ years of Dublin weather, and the 'new' flying buttress has blended in well -

I love the old guy snoozing on the bench 😍. Lovely shiny shoes and cap down on the eyes.
