Must be this ship, launched in1906: - www.clydeships.co.uk/view.php?ref=3247 - www.roll-of-honour.com/Ships/HMHSStPatrick.html

The whole thing must have been very new, ship, pier etc. You can almost see the shiny newness to it all!

Yes, built in 1906 according to Wikipedia: "The village of Rosslare Harbour (Irish: Calafort Ros Láir, meaning "harbour of the middle peninsula") (Yola: Rosslaarè) grew up to serve the needs of the harbour of the same name (now called Rosslare Europort), first developed in 1906 by the Great Western Railway and the Great Southern and Western Railway to accommodate steamferry traffic between Great Britain and Ireland. Rosslare Harbour railway station opened on 30 August 1906".[1] The original village was called Ballygeary and Wiki says: "The village of Ballygeary was divided into two townslands, one known as tin town and the other as straw town. It is believed this was because of the roofs on the houses."

There is a painting of the 'St Patrick' as a WW1 hospital ship - gilbertswar.blogspot.com.au/2013/05/hmhs-st-patrick.html

... and one of her sister ships, 'St George' (thanks to NLI's megazoom) - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000537983

This from 1979 looks like similar concrete posts, holding a different sign. The same stranded loco can be seen in the background there, so this is the platform at Mallow Station, as you guessed.

Here's a page about Loco 90!

Good to see that loco is still going strong.

Buenos trabajos hacen.

ClicKen, in 1967 that was most certainly a museum piece. The diesel engine and railcar were very much in use at that time and the transition from diesel to steam was almost if not completely at an end.
