This is a town clock located on a building near the Dublin Pearse / Westland Row DART staton in Dublin.
Little is known about the clock, but as for the rail station:
Dublin Pearse, located on Westland Row in the Southside in Dublin, Ireland, is a DART and Intercity railway station owned by Córas Iompair Éireann. The station is the terminus of the Northern Commuter (to Balbriggan/Dundalk) and Western Commuter (to Maynooth/Longford) services. DART and South Eastern Commuter (Dublin Connolly to Arklow) services also serve the station, as do InterCity services from Dublin Connolly to Rosslare Europort.
The station was opened on 17 December 1834 as Westland Row station, the city terminus of the Dublin & Kingstown Railway which was the first 'commuter' line in the world. The station was extended and rebuilt in the latter part of the 19th century when the present overall roof was installed. A feature of this rebuild allowed for the conversion of the terminus into a through station which eventually happened when the City of Dublin Junction Railway completed the final link up of all the city railways.
