On Glenageary Road Lower in Dublin, this one - from Michael Byrne - has an interesting back-story, as he explains “Many years ago, before the installation of Glenageary Roundabout, the entrance gates to Dunmore House opened onto the then crossroads formed by Sallynoggin Road, Glenageary Road Upper and Glenageary Road Lower running East / West. The "new" roundabout obviously necessitated the removal and relocation of the gates, which were moved about 50m East. The survival of the 'mark is testament to that excellent relocation job”.

This looks like a really fine 'mark. It was spotted by M.C. on the Glenageary Road in Dublin.

This one is on Glenageary Road Lower in Dun Laoghaire at the entrance to a building which formerly was a gate lodge to Granite Hall.

Above: The entrance to Granite Hall with the 'mark at bottom right. Apparently M.C. eschewed the option of jumping on a bus to Dun Laoghaire and instead favoured the convenience of his steel chariot. It has the great advantage though of avoiding drunks telling how to make a small fortune. Apparently it is to invest an even bigger one in bank shares and property.
