    Afraid not Victor (although they are good guesses. :))

    These are the two that remain. (Both Northside - just like the other eight).

    2.

    Re: Picture of Rotunda posted yesterday.

    Just wondering, does anyone know what the sign is supposed to say.

    It looks a bit like PL_VYTET _AIR_ES.

    There is part of a date on another wall AD _8_5 - presumably AD 18*5.

    Here's a close-up.

    2 I think is around Mill Street & Newmarket off Clanbrassil St in D8
    3 is the old Sick and Indigent poorhouse which is just before the entrance to Dublin Castle and next to the ugliest building constructed in Dublin this century - many thanks to the corpo for that blemish on the urban landscape, and to think we lost a lovely little park for it.

    4 I think is on Thomas Street/James St

    7 is the little park on Camden Row i think, lovely little spot

    i think 8 is upper stephen Street

    and think 9 is hogan place/Lower Grand Canal Street

    (Trivia - Palace Street is the shortest street in Dublin ;)).
