  It was taken before 1908 ...see date on building www.google.ie/maps/@52.1381891,-8.2752926,3a,53.4y,102.73...

  I think it is before the 1899 provincial Bank, too, now the AIB.

  I think this image pre-dates the L_ROY_00062 image posted by Sharon Corbet - Note the differences in the facade of the large 12-bay block at the top of the square. In this image, the facade is fairly plain and the two bays at either end have old 6-over-6 Georgian sashes. In L_ROY_00062, the windows are all updated to one-pane-per sash, plaster hood mouldings have been placed over the windows in the central 4 bays and the 4 bays on the right, and a balustrade has been installed on top of the building at the right - that's still there (see Streetview provided by O Mac). Mannix's shop in the older image is replaced by O'Brien's in L_ROY_00062.

  On the far side of the square at right, we see Mannix and Smith, in Sharon's shot above we saw O'Brien and Eager. I think this one is earlier...
