Don't know the name of the building but it's on Grangegorman Lower and I reckon has something to to with St Brendan's Hospital

That's the spot. HSE offices and film set for every production company.

Is that the building they mocked up as the GPO in Michael Collins?

I think heard about it in the photography forum and its supposed to be plagued with junkies these days.

I'm curious about the inscription on the plaque above the door - Built In The Year 5618.
Would that be referring to the Hebrew calender, equivalent to 1857-8 in our Christian calender?

As far as I know, there's a Jewish graveyard behind it, so yes.

There's a Jewish cemetary there too. They allow visitors and I hear that visitors are given a warm welcome.

Hermy

Now that's something I never knew in all the years I've passed by it.
Thanks lads.:)

I walked down there recently enough; most of the building seems to be still in use by the HSE, but there's a fairly large section to the left that seems to have been left to rot, the windows are missing panes, etc. Didn't walk through into the yard to see the back and the outbuildings, but i'd be surprised if anything was well maintained.

humberklog

Indeed all are correct as for the Jewish cemetary. There are so many graves there. I have photos of inside too somewhere. The bodies are buried upright so it's very surprising when you see the list. It makes me smile to see a Lourdes holy water bottle and a Child of Prague in the upstairs loo window.
Gorgeously Dublin.

While waiting for the real photographers to come up with more, here a quick and easy one I think. Where's this?

There's usually a clue in the photos... but I don't think there's one in this one.

Now to be fair to us.

The left 20% is blurred / shiny (might be glass, not sure).

The centre 50% is blurred / shiny but might be a plywood hoarding.

The bottom right ~12% is a piece of footpath.

The centre right ~3% is cars.

This leavers the top right ~15% which is a combination of a Dublin City Council lamp post / banner, a white fronted building with dark framed windows, a green copper or glass side and what could be a bridge parapet but is more likely a railing around a park or something. There are traffic lights and the street is probably wide enough for 3-4 cars.

Earlsfort Terrace / Hatch Street?

I could give you 100% of the photo, but that would take the fun away.

The left 20% is metal.

The centre 50% is slightly out of focus.

The 12% of footpath... they didn't leave much space beween the metallic bit and the kerb, but the footpath is much wider than it seems.

The street is a 6 lane carraigeway. (3 lanes either side of a center median)

It's not between the canals.
