Try the Irish Historic Towns Atlas for Dublin. There is an index of current and former streets at the end of each edition. Available here:

If no luck here. These type of questions get asked and answered over on the Genealogy forum all the time by qualified genealogists who have to look up old addresses all the time. Give them a go, they like a challenge. They like a challenge. By the way I thought it might be Benburb Street.
