“Michael Walker is in the centre - he was the 50-mile champion of Ireland at the time; the photo also has his brother John Walker, Richard J Mecredy (always known as Arjay; there's a photo of him here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_J._Mecredy and a couple more on the cover of a recent book about him), Matthew Walsh and Bernard Doyle.”

Based on nothing more than the shape of the door, I'll guess that this is Patrick St. rather than Parnell St.

It looks like one of these doors: goo.gl/maps/ARF3Lr2vjCd64JSz5

It's actually across the road: www.irishtimes.com/news/social-affairs/historic-dublin-ba... Edit: Only just realised this is Parnell St - see below

I haven't found a picture of the door shut on Parnell Street, so I can't rule it out either.

Here we are: Could just as easily be Parnell St.: goo.gl/maps/SsDhj7UFHXHzb1F36

Mr Michael S. Walker was about here - goo.gl/maps/qdRRADimeKBHGc4N8 (going by the lampost being near / between those two front doors)

Holles St. hospital, where I was born, and I was probably not the only one of us.

also nice early 1900s lampposts, gone from other streets, survive here.
