- Hello, Simon, Father Cowley said. How are things?
- Hello, Bob, old man, Mr Dedalus answered stopping.
Mr Kernan halted and preened himself before the sloping mirror of Peter Kennedy, hairdresser. Stylish coat, beyond a doubt. Scott of Dawson street. Well worth the half sovereign I gave Neary for it. Never built under three guineas." (U10.738)

"gave me a very sharp eye yesterday on Carlisle bridge as if he remembered me." (U10.746)
Carlisle bridge is the precursor of O'Connell bridge, connecting Sackville street to the south quays across the Liffey. It was designed by James Gandon, and built 1791 - 1794. It was named for Frederick Howard, 5th Earl of Carlisle, who was Lord Lieutenant of Ireland at the time. Carlisle bridge was a symmetrical, three semicircular arch structure in granite, with a Portland stone balustrade, and obelisks on each of the four corners. This is a PC of Carlisle bridge...

... and a SV from 1865.
In both PC and SV, notice that Carlisle bridge is narrower than Sackville street, that the statue of Daniel O'Connell (unveiled 1882) is not up yet, and that no trams are to be seen.

Between 1879 - 1882, to improve the streetscape and relieve traffic congestion, Carlisle bridge was widened to the width of Sackville street (230 ft or 70 m). It was then renamed O'Connell bridge for Daniel O'Connell, whose statue was being unveiled. In the early 19c., the pro-British still called the street Sackville, and the bridge Carlisle, as in this (published in England) postcard. The fact that Mr Kernan says Carlisle bridge may reflect his age, or his political views.
