One Howth Road

Two Sean Moore Road.

Three Pembroke Row off Baggot Street, near the bridge. Its a restaurant.

Four was done recently, is it Talbot Street?

Five I think is an un-named road between Kilmainham and Sarsfield Road and the building is the Revenue Data Centre.

Six is Drury Street at Exchequer Street.

No !

Yes !

Three laneway off Baggot Street, near the bridge. Its a restaurant.

That's it.. Pembroke Row..no wonder the restaurant closed down with a colour scheme like that

Sorry you're right GBX ,I thought that was called Inchicore Rd.. it's Con Colbert House West , home to Dept of Social Welfare..I thought you were referring to Memorial Rd D1 near Memorial Bridge..

DEspite working for 7 years on Baggot Street, I think I've only ever been down there once - but didn't eat there. The paint job is fairly new and threw me, I think the old colours were brown and white.
