  This could be any of 3 gates - the Grafton St, Merrion Row and Leeson St. corners. The only surviving one is at Leeson St. (Grafton St. now has Fusilier's Arch, and Merrion Row was altered to stick in the Robert Emmet statue.) Streetview.

  The notes on the photo in the NLI mention the following: "Boat decorated with garlands etc. as part of an annual fund-raising flag day held by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution in Dublin and across the U.K."

  Sharon Corbet Robert Emmet? This is Tonehenge! And I think this is the Merrion Row corner, based on the position of that tram wire pole and squinting at the OSI map.

  Thanks Sharon Corbet - I guess we should pay more attention to our own notes :)
