Dina Carroll (born Geraldine Carroll, 21 August 1968, Newmarket, Suffolk) is an English singer of Scottish and African American descent who had a string of hits from the late 1980s to the early 2000s.
To be fair, I hadn’t heard of her either but someone mentioned that her 1993 single The Perfect Year from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Sunset Boulevard” has some scenes of Dublin in it. Indeed it does.
The 40 steps can be seen around 6 seconds in, followed by a pub at around 21 seconds in (could it be Grogans?).
At 2:53 you have Regents barber shop in Temple Bar, Rorys Fishing Tackle Shop also in Temple Bar at 3:22 and a brief look at Moore Street at 3:27.

+ Classic Dublin music videos:
1. Phil Lynott – Old Town (1982)
2. The Blades – The Bride Wore White (1982)
3. Bagatelle – Summer in Dublin (1980)
At 3.55 in the Perfect Day video in the background of the butchers shop the Apollo sign can be seen in the reflection.
I think I’ll start following a sport….
That video was shot in Cork. Not Dublin. I have friends in this video. It was shot in the Old English Market… In Blackpool and Dublin Hill. (Which is not in Dublin but the north side of Cork City. )
didn’t know Cork had a Rory’s fishing tackle shop, Regents barber shop, Bruxelles, 40 steps and a Temple Bar?
