That’s great that everything worked out in Harold’s Cross.
Now back to the Finial!
A clue: It’s centrally located and it’s on the northside, but not by much.
You think this is in the Phoenix Park, but you have no idea what building!
Is that what you’re saying?
I wouldn’t like you to go to too much trouble . . . so I’ll tell you it’s not in the Phoenix Park.
The last one is Lower Abbey Street, just behind the Luas stop. Some class of missionary/church building? Can’t remember the exact name/purpose.
And I think PIG is on the south campshires in the Docklands, just by the DDDA offices.
Pretty sure I know the 1889 gable too, but I’ll leave it open for now.
Firefighters is the Naughton Inst. TCD; the PIG is definitely south campshire in that funny 50s deco looking building they build about three years ago. A PIG is a kind of capsule you put in a gas pipe. I am sure I know the other two too, they will come to me; the date is somewhere in college too isn’t it? Dining hall steps? I will check.

Take that back about Z and the dining hall but I am sure it is somewhere I often see.

Pretty sure of this one.

Damn, I missed that when I read your post earlier, mostly because of my PIG-obsession, I am with you completely, I often walk by there.

Y is Carvills on Camden Street I think
Not Camden street……… Try the other side of town…
no……… ye’re right about the abbey street building and also the ‘pig trap’ on the south docks…. Still the firefighting plaque and the gable……. And they’re buildings that most of ye walk past every day…. opposite sides of town though…
The gable with the 1889 date stone is somewhere around the junction of Middle abbey Street and Liffey Street, I think.
Does it face north up towards The ILAC centre? or east down Middle Abbey? It’s there somewhere near the back of M&S, right?
Got it in one, gunter. It terminates the vista from the ILAC looking south. Would have thought that to be one of the easier ones!
Can’t place the outstanding case though…

Last clue on the finial:
It’s not older than 1916!
