    BUT, on looking at that part of the movie again, I think it does not seem to match with the area (even though I know it would have become built up since then). I think that the gate is not at St. Flannan's College, and that it is probably the gateway of Dromoland Castle.

    St. Flannan's College:
    https://www.google.com/maps/@52.8324382,-8.9822225,3a,60y,318.57h,90.85t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1szN6Id_0mUfOYbwGmZo8M4Q!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

    Dromoland Castle:
    https://www.google.com/maps/@52.7817635,-8.9165858,3a,60y,78.95h,70.2t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sp9xiw6V5GPQ-8ODCAm_YWQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656


    You're spot on!
    The gate posts and the railings look quite the same, but they at two different locations.
    I wonder what the need was to shoot two close scenes at two far apart locations.

    Thanks for your contribution! :)

    EDIT: In the movie the cars approaches from a road next to the first gate post, a road that doesn't exist on the maps.

    What point is this at? Can you give a still image or a minutes and seconds point?

    Yes, of course, at minute 4:00.
    The car approaches from a road that previously in the movie was the one with Mountcashel Castle, stops at the gate post with the name "Leinster School" and then drives on to the school.
    That road isn't on Google Maps near Dromoland Castle's gates, that, in turn, look very much like the gate posts in the movie.

    It looks like the gates to Dromoland on the Newmarket Road before the road was widened .....

    Yes, that is the road at Dromoland alright. Like Johnboy1951 said, it has been widened since then. Also, the outside pier in that image around the 4 minute mark has been lowered. You can see what remains of that pier as it is now, just beside the Dromoland Castle Hotel sign.

    Yes, you're right, I thought about this about an hour later. It wasn't a road from a side, it was the same road before it was widened. My fault, sorry!

    I would say that is almost definitely Dromoland but it might also be 1 of the entrances to Carrigoran, there used to be 2 entrances, 1 each side of Newmarket, that might be the 1 on the Ennis side

    Did the road rise up as in that pic at the entrance you are thinking of?

    I do not recall that entrance.

    The first picture in the op post is definitely Cragganowen

    One of the other places is Dromoland castle.

    And possibly the other is one of the tower's on the O Garney river near Sixmilebridge or Cratloe..
