Participantoooh the RDS is a good guess.
But no 😀
Last clue then, that’s going to give it away: there’s an air of Greek tragedy to this place…

InactiveIs F the building, recently restored opposite Pearse Sq, I’m in Milan so can’t verify the exact address. It was a school I believe, now a Community Centre.

It certainly isn’t.
Is it time for clues? D & F are both south facing..

ParticipantMaybe F is that red CIE building on North Wall Quay, just at the edge of the Spencer Dock development?
Great to see that building on the corner of Trinity Street and College Green taking its place on this thread. It’s one of my favourites. Viewed from the top of Anglesea Street it just seems to fit into that corner slot so perfectly.:)
