Stills in stained glass - where is that?

A little puzzle. What famous hostelry (place of pilgrimage) in Dublin boasts a set of stills in stained glass on its entrance door?
(apologies for the flash, but the others were too dark)

I don't rightly know and I'm not even 100% sure I have the right name but I'm guessing O'Sheas Merchants on the quays. Guessing this as they do have stained glass windows (Ceili Music instruments & the four provinces done in the windows) and even though they are on the opposite side of the quays they are not far from Smithfield.

What's sad is that I first entered that pub circa 1989 and many times since and only noticed the stills last night. A superb piece of work is it not? /M
