Guys,

I just lastnight happed to be looking at a book with old pictures (Dublin pictures 1870's to 1940) that my parents gave me... and one picture was from High Park Convent, Drumcondra... inside it with people. The thing was it said "Aslyum" High Park Covent, Drumcondra (as far as I can remember). So I am not sure if this is the same place.

Let me bring this into work tomorrow and scan it in for you (hopefully I remember it)

It would seem  this is St. Mary's Magdalen Asylum, High Park, Drumcondra, Dublin 9
.
It was a Laundry and has long closed and been knocked down and how their is a block of apartments where the Magdalen women used to work.  They were buried over in a field near by and in 1993 were exhumed, cremated and then put in a mass grave up in Glasnevin Cemetary.
