John Carrick had a large area to use as production and warehousing of his products but I don't know if he actually manufactuered at 5 Mary's Abbey or not.

I just came across an entry in an 1868 for the address you mentioned, and it is described as follows :
5 Mary's Abbey
John Carrick, crown, sheet, plate window glass, and cement warehouse
also listed at the address is Andrew Carrick
It sounds to me that is he was involved in glass manufacturing this was done elsewhere. John is listed in the index in the section titled 'Glass and Colour Warehouses'. Only two glass manufacturers are listed in Dublin at that time, both of bottles :
Dublin Glass Bottle Co., North Lotts. (office 46 Sherriff St)
Ringsend Glass Bottle Co., Ringsend
The 1863 edition show the following for the address :
5 Mary's Abbey
John Carrick, plate glass, glass bottle, and French shade &c warehouse
and the 1848 edition shows :
5 Mary's Abbey
John Carrick, plate, crown & sheet window glass, bottle, French shade, Roman cement and plaster of Paris warehouse
res - Pearmount, Donneycarney
John is not mentioned in the 1872 edition.
