The building was originally built as a school for homeless girls but again was not used for that purpose. The Irish inscription above the Red Door (Teach Naoimh Iosep Fá Coinne Ár gCailiní /Clochar na Trócaire) loosely translates as "The House of St Joseph for our Girls staying at The Convent of Mercy" Actually the cross above the door is a bit of a give-away!
