Could be towards the latter end of your time period - the gas lamp column outside the bank has been decommissioned and is minus its lantern whilst on the adjacent post there's an early electric street lamp.

I think the car is a Morris Cowley 'Bullnose', probably early 1920s, like this 1922 model. NB lack of large headlamps and a spare wheel on the right hand side -

The clockless tower -
"In 1857 the Town Hall was built on a site donated by the Hancock family. It was restored and extended in 1884. After an ambush on 19 July 1920 in the townland of Gallagh on the Dunmore Road when two RIC officers were killed, the Black & Tans rioted and burnt the Town Hall. The building was gutted by the fire but restored in 1926.

I agree about the early Morris Crowley, the registration plate shows IM, which is a Galway registration, such registrations started in January 2004. However I have no idea when IM1044 was issued.
