I am 99% certain I worked with that man with the brush and apron in the late 70's....his name is Jim Miley and he lived off Clanbrassil Street.....if it not it's his doppelganger

What a very nice picture. I remember learning at school that O'Connell Street is one of Europe's widest streets and resembles a Victorian boulevard.

Great picture, it did look very elegant in the old days. I was trying to identify the building in the distance. I am guessing the spire on the right is St Georg'e church and on the left but closer is Findlater's church. But there is one to the left of Findlater's and slightly closed and I can't figure out what it is. Does anybody know? thanks

The one to the left of Findlaters with the cupola is the Rotunda Hospital

The one in the distance on the left is Saint Josephs Berkley Road

Thanks John, I didn't think of the Rotunda, but I did guess the far one was Berkeley Road

Good wans Cos. The story behind the clothes line job is that it's Mary Ryan drying the clothes in her back garden backing on to the apron in the mid-1970s. Some believe it's Taxiway 4, old RWY 23.....and others think the pic was for inclusion in the Millenium book in 1988. The plane is most likely the 747 St Patrick not long before it was scrapped. Great pic all round....mind you in some quarters the washing would have been regarded as serious FOD...the WAFU's will know.
