Does the top say "Fiat"?

YI 1 to YI 9999 (Apr 1921 - Mar 1927);
So relatively soon after 1921
I bet the car is a Fiat,

Spidra Webster It does indeed say FIAT. That's the only thing we're sure about.

DannyM8 Unfortunately we don't have motor directories for the 1920s, so no way to check the registered owner.

I think it is outside 45 Merrion Square

To cheat slightly, there's a list available in the Jeremiah O’Donovan Rossa Funeral Souvenir Programme.

Sharon Corbet Cheating's such an ugly word, Sharon! It's a research resource... :) Who did the fantastic numbered jigsaw for our RIA photograph a while back? *shakes fist and glares at Flickr for taking away our vital Notes feature*

Here is a cool interactive map of Glasnevin using Streetview to tour famous graves.

A further "research resource", namely the photo with names below.

Not a lot of human activity for 08:15. But gHoSts! Edit: can anyone read the maker's name on the clock?

Pre tram lines and church notice board, visible in this later slightly higher view - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000316756 (no clockmaker's name)

Officially the Abbey Presbyterian Church, it’s commonly known as Findlater’s Church after Alexander Findlater, spirits merchant. Wikipedia tells me that it dates to 1864. I remember having a very fine guided tour of the church a number of years ago.

Why Rutland Square? Presumably named for the Duke of Rutland, Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland. Per Wiki: “Rutland was increasingly popular as viceroy, in part because of his convivial nature and ample banquets at Dublin Castle. In summer 1787, he made an extended and rigorous tour of the midlands and north of Ireland, but his excessive consumption of claret was by now taking a toll upon his health. He died of liver disease on 24 October 1787 at the Viceregal Lodge in the Phoenix Park, Dublin.”
