I suppose this link has been posted before. Ive recognised a few people in the 1960/70's photos and was shocked to learn some of them had passed away. http://www.manonbridge.ie/about
Love the rainy day in Dublin Cosmo

On the fine building in Corn Market with J B Roche on it

Must see if I can identify the relaying cobble street
a couple of comments on the cobbles. patrick st with patricks park on extreme right....bull alley to the cross roads to the left out of view...?????.another comment, they were replacing the stone cobbles with wooden ones because of the noise on sundays , the sermons couldn`t be heard [no mics then].

I,ll chase up Patrick Street in the directories because those people looking out from the window over the shop at 3rd window from the left
They are in number 45.....I enhanced the photo and this number comes up on the shop front
See what comes up

Here is another photo of Patrick Street
I,ve matched it up to your one for comparison
The blue arrows show the direction that both photos would share and the blue strip at the far right of both photos would be where both would be pointing to ..just at the small statue
That small statue at first floor height over the shop might be in your one too
There is something there around the same location

You were bang on with the Patrick street location
ps
When I,m trying to indentify old photos I look for any shop names or numbers on them
Sometimes its hard with the old dark photos
So what I do is brighten the photo and then turn it into a negative ...this shows numbers and letters clearer and can even copperfasten if the lettet l is an L or an I by showing the dot over it
