seems to be a House or Tenement in 1939 on the Electoral Register (http://dublinheritage.ie/electoral/search.php)
it lists 11 people of voting age - looks like it could be 5 married couples and a single
surnames : Campbell , Brennan, Mahoney, Callan, Duff & Byrne

Thoms directory shows it as Tenements in both 1922 and 1937

My Dad entered St Patricks Mother and Baby Home on 27th May 1931. His mothers address was given as St Michaels, Drumcondra. Has anyone ever heard of that place? Have tried to check it out but have reached a brick wall.

St. Michaels Road, perhaps

I never thought of it as a road - I know that she or her family were from Waterford and were not well-off. She was born herself in a workhouse in Waterford in 1909..

Someone who knows the area might have another suggestion, just looking at the 1911 Census and there is a St.Michaels Terrace. Could be the same place, as I can't find st. Michaels Road. Doesn't mean it's not there of course.
The St.Michaels Road on the map is only part build on the 25" map which I think dates from the late 1890s to the early 1900s
