The Dominican Church, Baker Place.
The Dominicans moved from Fish Lane to Baker Place in 1815.
The Church was designed by the Paine Brothers "Gothick Style"
According to Limerick City Placenames (a .pdf document), it's called Baker after Richard Baker, who built the houses on Baker Place.

James Dowd's book "Limerick and its Sieges" credits a cropped version of this image to William Lawrence. Given that the book was published in 1890, this image would seem to date from c.1880 to c.1890. See also discussion on higher res image (possibly earlier still):
