I think it's spelt Deverell Place - the picture is taken from an un-named laneway that continues to the back of the shops on Talbot Street. I suspect the lamp post is a borrowed one from Rathmines Township.

But you have to guess.

As I've said already, near the Grand Canal and near the South Circular Road. The house is quite separate from others.
