Some artists impressions of the Memorial at Talbot Street and of a couple of scenes of the aftermath of the bombings in Dublin.

In the background of the Parnell Street image you can see the outline of the Eircom offices of today which I believe were at the time the Posts and Telegraphs office, run under the Ministry of Conor Cruise O'Brien in the 1973–77 Labour / Fine Gael coalition under Taoiseach Liam Cosgrave.
