I'm going to be kicking myself if I can't remember where I've seen this before. The exam hall in Trinity, maybe?

Nope. That's some bloke or other.

derangedlemur She must be somewhere. Maybe inside one of the RDS buildings?

National Library of Ireland on The Commons Not necessarily. She might have got dropped and broken, except that I'm pretty sure I've seen her somewhere. Apparently not BOI, RHK, the Customs House or Dublin Castle, though, to name but a few.

I wonder did she fetch up on some church or other?

Apart from the Round room etc, the women's loo is well worth seeing!!! www.flickr.com/photos/lizinitaly/6089049916/in/set-721576...

Wendy: Nooo! Repost link PLEASE! Getting bad link message...

You're looking well in spite of your great age!!! Keep up the good work.

Swordscookie 121 and a quarter (nearly)!

Are there any images of the entrance of the National College of Art and Design, which was entered through the gates to the National Library? I went there in the 70's.

This space was an RDS lecture theater until 1922, so this must be 1922-39. From wikipedia: it was decided to hire the main RDS Lecture Theatre attached to Leinster House for use in December 1922 as a temporary Dáil chamber. The building was bought outright from the RDS in 1924.

The room is octagonal in shape and its original seating capacity was 700. Little alteration was needed to adapt it for parliamentary purposes - the floor was raised and the seating capacity reduced. This photo matches a modern one, so I think it is after the alterations. The DIA says "alts for use as Dail" were from 1925-29, so I think this is earliest 1925.

The RTE stills library has some shots from 1969, no help. The flat wall with the pictures hung on it has been painted white by then, dark in this picture.

I wonder what all the controls on that piece of furniture are for?
