    1. Is the fab building with great history at corner of Kildare st.and (not nassau but the extension bit). It's the Le Franchaise building. The monkeys are playing pool. It started life as a gentlemans sports club and the archetects were poking a bit of fun at the founders.
    2. s.c.r? Was church now apatments?
    3.Merrion sq. beside swiss embassy.
    4. Kildare st. (Dept ot trade i think. There's a relif of workers on it in stone).
    7. Camden st.(was the old sewers union i think,very big jewish connection).At present derelict.
    8. Above flannery's on camden st.?
    9. Houston station.
    10 Wolfetone monument,st stephens green?

    Sure is - Alliance Francaise, bottom of Kildare St. The snooker game is some historical p1sstake of the bourgeoisie, I think.

    Yup. Red Cross is the building you're thinking about. Swiss Embassy is Ailsbury Rd

    Hmm, very close. Flannery's has a date disc thing. I give it to you, it's 30 metres north. Actually Wexford St (maybe I was too charitable there)

    I think the monkeys were originally cats, but were changed. It might have been a different building by the same stone mason though.

    5. Laneway from Mountpleasent Square to Mountpleasent Avenue, probably part of Mountpleasent Square.

    6. Richmond Villas?
