Well done.....still trying to find exact location on map.

well it was a bit odd, when I googled "Tripoli Inchicore/Pimlico" I got zilch, then I put in "5 Tripoli" and that came up!

Very impressed Katie and Damn, really believed it was a typo on someones part, such an unusual name.

Know the spot and will toddle along there and maybe even knock on a door or two and enquire if folk know about the name. Think there is a small open space there which now is a kids playground. Due a lunch time stroll from KIlmainham to Meath Street to my favourite cake shop for some tipsy, snowcake and fly traps. This shop I think is the replacement for famous St Catherines of bygone days in Thomas Court selling plenty of cut-your-own bread in the old style.

Should I leave a few bob there for tasty cakes for you guys in case you are passing that way soon as a little thank you ????

I'm a bit confused by the fly traps, is it a bakers or a hardware store?
