Grace Gifford Plunkett was an extraordinary character and Marie O'Neill's biography is well worth a read. I'm pretty sure Marie gave a talk to the National Library of Ireland Society about 15 years ago or so. Grace's painting in her cell in Kilmainham is rightfully famous:

Here is her statement to the BUREAU OF MILITARY HISTORY, 1913-21

Did you know that this song written in 1985 by Frank and Seán O'Meara, Grace - Jim McCann was about her.

The patchwork stones are even more startling in colour; in 2016 via Stuart Smith.

See history of Richmond gate tower

I suppose that’s its second location, it did move about a bit. The stone is Dublin calp limestone. maps.app.goo.gl/BRfAUrNVjFsbqZcY7?g_st=ic

At the NIAH: Richmond Tower was originally constructed at the junction of Watling Street and Victoria Quay, and was moved to the Royal Hospital at Kilmainham in 1847 due to traffic congestion caused by the opening of the new railway terminus at Kingsbridge, now Heuston Station. The gateway was named after the Duke of Richmond, Lord Lieutenant (1807-1813), and was designed by Francis Johnston, who was also responsible for alterations to the courtyard and north range of the main Royal Hospital building in the early years of the nineteenth century.

I never knew it had been moved there, here is a Streetview of its original location at Watling St/The Quays as marked on the 1830s 6" OSI.

Am I seeing electric lamps? See note.

"No dogs will dine here by God!" Or, do you mean, no dogs on the menu, here? Or, were you referring to English?

Large British flag with a crest in the middle of it, other one looks like a variation on the Red Ensign along the left wall. Flag from a unit at Waterloo? See on the left of these flags www.warflag.com/napflags/flaghtml/britKGL.htm

CASSIDY PHOTOGRAPHY - I think Morning Mary was referring to the likelihood that the usual morning past-time (the dog hunt) would be fruitless today. (At least, as you say, if we didn't include any mystery meat from the menu...) Niall McAuley - Thanks for the "today" shot. I wonder where all the weapons went.... oaktree_brian_1976 - Any flags that you can see that might help refine the date range a little? Though maybe beachcomber australia is onto something with the lighting...
