    The first image below, is that particular building famous for anything? I seem to recall that it had some importance at one time, and not for Robert Emmet but for something else. It's near Thomas Street.

    The second building is in the Broadstone area. I think the grounds are a public park, but I was just curious what the building is used for if anything.

    Many thanks.

    first is st catherines church, apart from robert emmet being hung drawn and
    quartered there I'm not aware of anything else 'important' about it.

    second is kings inns on Constitution Hill:

    Next time anyone is passing Kings Inn on Constitution Hill in Broadstone have a look at the large tree just on the left inside the gate. the tree has grown around a park bench and it looks like the bench has kinda grown out of the tree.
