Right on humber! Well done. I didn't think too many would recognise a piece of Main Street Ballymun.

Here's the full photo... I was interested in the sculpture so took a pic frpom this angle..

humberklog

Drove through only an hour ago. I think there are loads of people on here from Ballymun.

5. Correct!!
2. No. But I see where you're coming from. The clue is in the people in the window.


Not too hard tonight. I'm still finding my feet with the game.

Fair play to you Victor. But to locals Ballymun Gateway means the area of the former Ballymun Cross as well as the new tall apartment block just North of the Library. I honestly wasn't splitting hairs, but there's no doubt that you were correct to a point, you were definitely in the right area but I feel that Humberclog, having said "Ballymun Rd. Looking from the Axis centre", just about hit the nail on the head. I was just looking for Main St Ballymun.

1. Bingo!
5. Gone already I'm afraid.
6. gone too.
7. Nope.
8. Oh yeah...smokin!!
9. Yep
10. What's wrong with 10? I'd get it;).

humberklog

Ok. 4,7 and 10 left. Give me a mo and I'll repost them on this page.

copacetic

ok, I gave others some of the easier ones! maybe we should have a rule were people can only take one guess at a time
and only one every 30 mins or something?

7, is the famous 380sq ft 19A long lane.

is 10 looking back at talbot street?

bobgob

no 10, with the bollards on the far side of the road it suggests a street in the inner city with the lads in the picture this suggests north inner city, is it looking back on to north earl street from the pro cathederal

humberklog

4. (Ulysses clue...2 vestal virgins of...)


7. This one is supposed to be the narrowest house in Dublin. I nearly bought it a few year ago but was told that it's always on the market. Young couple buy...6 months later young couple want to kill. But it's in my favourite part of town and oddly enough for a northsider like me...this is on the southside.



10. Just re-looking at this and it is tough. So the big street it's looking onto will do.

7. Brilliant Copa. It is of course.
10. Nope. South inner.

copacetic

I guess 2 is Fumbally lane then, never would have got that without the clue..
