We drove the Danes out of Ireland over 1000 years ago and there are still shiploads of them off our west coast! Are they heading to Greenland to repel the US invasion?????

The 1876 Grattan statue is not even there in some early Stereo Pairs.
eg - catalogue.nli.ie etc

There, but no fancy lamps - catalogue.nli.ie - when were they added?

'Come Here to Me' was asking (2014) for dating help - comeheretome.com

beachcomber australia I was looking at this and thinking that the streetscape was all wrong for O'Connell St. And yet Morning Mary is seldom wrong. Big boo-boo this time

This is actually, the Old Irish Parliament Buildings which were sold to the progenitor of the Bank of Ireland. I think the title should be changed to reflect the correct name. The parliament was dissolved by act of Union at the start of the 19th century. It is still one of the Georgian set-pieces in the capital.

I wouldnt change the name considering by the time this print was made the building was owned by Band of Ireland.. perhaps add in "former Parliament House" - but the "Correct" name is definitely Bank of Ireland. I could be wrong but... if it is printed on the image itself then it must have been Bank of Ireland at the time..

Wow this is amazing, College Green without all the people, cars and buses... -- Seen in a discussion of the group "Flickr Commons" (?)

Dunwho - you clearly do not subscribe to the view in geographical circles that to name something is to own it! :) Here's a question for you - if it was an image of the Parthenon from the 18th century would you describe it as a stable - as that is what it was used for at the time?

billh35 You must have had to have nerves of steel in this far more "free range" traffic environment.
