Glasnevin railway station was a Great Southern and Western Railway (GS&WR) station serving Glasnevin in Dublin, Ireland. Together with nearby Drumcondra railway station, the station operated from 1901 to 1910 on the Drumcondra and North Dublin Link Railway line between Amiens Street (now Connolly) station and Islandbridge. While Drumcondra station re-opened in 1998, Glasnevin's platform was demolished in 1916. Some of the station's red-bricked outbuildings are incorporated into the former Porterhouse North pub on Whitworth Road.As of 2019, it was proposed to open a new station at Glasnevin, close to (but not on) the site of the former GS&WR station. These proposals, published in early 2019, called for a station to be built between the Western Commuter and South Western Commuter lines (on the site of the Brian Boru pub) as part of the MetroLink project. As of 2021, no dates for the MetroLink project were published.

Dublin Female Penitentiary

Dublin Female Penitentiary, was a reform institution for "fallen women" in Dublin, Ireland. It established in 1810 and opened in 1813, it was run by the Church of Ireland and located between Berkeley Road, Eccles St. and North Circular Road. The Asylum could cater for over 40 inmates. It was administered by a Committee of ladies, for the religious and moral improvement of the women. While inmates were from all religious backgrounds (some other such institutions only accepted women of the religion of the institution), they had to adhere to the rules of the house and were instructed in the reformed faith. As with many protestant benevolent initiatives, many laywomen were involved. Mrs. Paulus Aemilius Singer of Temple Street, served as secretary of the committee, was a notable supporter of the institution. Penitents were employed in a laundry washing and mangling, and also needlework, hatmaking and mantua-making. As with other similar institutions the penitentiary was affiliated to a chapel (St. Augustine's Church, a chapel of ease in the parish of St George). There was a Repository where the penitents' work was sold, with income used to fund the institution. After eighteen months places outside the laundry were sought for an inmate. Some inmates were sent to Queensland, Australia.In 1840 the trustees put the chaplaincy under the visitation and clergy officiate under licence from the Church of Ireland Archbishop of Dublin.
