I hate to be pedantic but The Harcourt Station was NOT & is NOT in Rathmines. It is city centre of Dublin. The description is (totally) inaccurate I'm afraid! There is NO mention of Rathmines in your tags, so I think it's safe to deduce that Harcourt Street /Hatch Street is NOT in Rathmines!

Who is responsible for the administration of the Photos uploaded on to FLICKR as in names, not a department on behalf of the 'National Archives' please???

ClickKen04 You're not being pedantic, you're perfectly correct! Have you never noticed that Flickr Maps leave a lot to be desired about locations, e.g. when I place photos on the National Library in Kildare Street, it insists on saying Ballsbridge, I think, even though that's a good mile away from Kildare Street... I've now changed Rathmines to the broader "Dublin". Sorry if "Rathmines" was disorienting...

ClickKen04 My name is Carol. I manage the account, upload photos, etc. And we're not the National Archives of Ireland - this photostream is the National Library of Ireland on the Commons.

Long before my time, it's cool to see how things where. Also can make a few urban outings a bit more interesting seeing these photos from what was everyday for previous generations, I wonder what they'll make of our iPods, games and all the other stuff :D

I thought that the Station looked a little lonely, so I added some people. I hope the folks from Belfast don't mind being in Kilkenny.

National Library of Ireland on The Commons To answer your question Carol, ladies who tried to rise above their station and enter the first class waiting room were given a dose of cold shoulder by those ladies entitled to be there and hot tongue by the waiting room attendant!
