Looking at muster books of the Trafalgar Fleet, I found that up to 10 people from various ships gave 1 Syrrott Place, Dublin as address for next of kin.
A first, I was thinking of some sort of official building like a post office or some administration.
Then David Asprey found this old picture:
So if this is the original building, it was more probably a boarding house where seamen families where living.
Maybe some charity for poor seamen ?
What his puzzling is that the location is not particularly near the docks.
My thanks to Prof Kenneth J. Blume too.
