    There is a townland called Garrison near Erril, not a million miles west of Rathdowney, with just one house on the historic maps.

    There is still a farm and farm buildings here, I can't tell if this house is still standing in some form: maps.app.goo.gl/rCErac7aHLivgaJEA

    I'm going to be kicking myself if I can't remember where I've seen this before. The exam hall in Trinity, maybe?
  • derangedlemur said:
    Nope. That's some bloke or other.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    derangedlemur She must be somewhere. Maybe inside one of the RDS buildings?
  • derangedlemur said:
    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.
  • derangedlemur said:
    I wonder did she fetch up on some church or other?

Ballsbridge, Co. Dublin
