Welcome back Morning Mary! 16:28 - Looking brand spanking new.

The electric (?) lamps can be seen better in this nine-minutes-earlier photo - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000316884 Edit - The shadow of Mr French and his camera spotted on this other photo. Oops!

As you point out, it's beside Scoil Mobhi, and the Cassini has it down as a school, but the 15" has no title for it. In terms of appearance and ground plan it could easily be either a school or a mental hospital.

I would assume it's from after 1891, as that is when Parnell died. Glasnevin has a a Streetview equivalent, but I'm not sure if it's linkable.

All newspapers through the 1890s and into the early 20th century report processions through Dublin and out to Glasnevin on the anniversary of Parnell’s death. By 1907, the Irish Independent reported that there were comparatively few in the procession, though the streets en route were lined by large crowds. The Great Southern railway had laid on ten special trains — two from Cork alone carrying over 1,000 visitors — so if 1907 was comparatively small, the initial commemorations must have been huge!

Carol Maddock Apparently there were over a quarter of a million at the funeral.

UCC has some photos from October 1891: His family at the grave, and the grave itself.

Carol Maddock The Glasgow Herald account of the parade on the 4th anniversary of his death said that it was smaller than in previous years - there were 'only' 63 bands compared with 69 the previous year!
