During the 1880s there was a Dispensary Lane on the north western side of Dorset Street Lower. It was located between Synott Place and Eccles Place, and between numbers 84 and 87 (the other numbers were skipped)

select the 25" Historic map. Looks like the lane is still there.. but the area has been redeveloped - Kelly's Lane (http://maps.google.ie/maps?q=Phibsborough&hl=en&ll=53.357858,-6.27314&spn=0.003304,0.006673&sll=53.34156,-6.257347&sspn=0.026442,0.053387&vpsrc=6&hnear=Phibsborough,+County+Dublin&t=m&z=17) (Google Map)
