Can you name these Dublin locations 1-3?

Dublin locations in The Big Gamble (a 1961 movie which tells the story of a Dublin sailor who goes to Africa). Pics not great but screen grabs are limited to the few minutes that are on Youtube.
My initial brief attempt to identify location suggests somewhere around Old Kilmainham but Dubliners please feel free to correct me…
Anyone?
Also: name those jammers, anyone?
The Big Gamble (1961)

This should separate the Dubs from the rest.
Surprised we didn’t get a “Name those jammers” as part of a job lot:
Leyland bus.
Morris MInor
Ford Prefect(?)
Leyland RA bus, to boot. A for automatic.
The older R’s had a radiator at the front, like a Model T.
Are 1 & 4 the same place?
Bertie, they are. Well spotted.
“Jammers”, The Commitments called, they want their hip lingo back.
2 looks like the approach to Inchicore, just past the football stadium.
4 is that cul de sac off to the right just before Old Kilmainham crosses the SCR, heading for Inchicore.
This is 1 today:
