    Given the fact that the street had been wrecked between 1916 and 1922 it is very difficult to place the shot. I think that you are probably correct and that the old Georgian houses you can see the backs of are those on Parnell St. A Thoms directory of that era might give you a better fix?

    Well... the Sinn Fein Rebellion Handbook published a list of damaged or destroyed buildings and included "Henry Taaffe - Gentlemen's Outfitter" at 8 Upper Sackville Street. And if you look at the large version of this pic, you can see "Taaffe" and "Outfitter" on the signs beside the Findlater building... But I can't make sense of the actual landscape on Google Streetview. The Irish Times archive has the headline "Republican meeting in Sackville St" for 18 August, and "Republicans in Dublin" for 20 August, but I can't access the actual articles.

    vandillo We have access to the Irish Times and Irish Indo in the Library so I'll try to check those over the next couple of days...

    This is indeed O'Connell Street - we are looking at the old Findlaters on the corner with Cathal Burgha street. The building at the extreme left with the arches at first floor level was included in the subsequent rebuilding and survived until the 1970s when the whole lot was replaced with an office block. See Lost Dublin, by Frederick O'Dwyer, 1982
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    David Thank you. Will seek out Lost Dublin, and your comment reminded me to carry through on promise to check Irish Times/Indo for articles mentioned by vandillo above. Mea culpa.

    O Mac A paparazzo on right, I wonder who?
  • Niall McAuley said:
    In Streetview, you can see the dates Established 1777 Rebuilt 1925 cut into an upper story, along with a M for Mackey on a shield.
