She was born in Phibsborough, Dublin; the quoted sentence evidences the birthplace, while the date of 15 July 1919 appears in the same article's summary box. The coordinates are for central Dublin.
Reading the chart
Cancer Sun — exact Moon sign unavailable because the birth time is unknown.
Jupiter carries unusual weight here — strong essential dignity (exaltation).
Stellium in Cancer: Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Pluto — a concentrated emphasis that colors the whole chart.
Water is the leading element (56% weighted), while air is least emphasized — a texture worth noticing, not a verdict.
Cardinal modality leads: the chart's default rhythm is initiating — starting things comes naturally.
Sun at 21°54′ Cancer: core identity, vitality and sense of purpose operates protectively, tidally, by feel and memory — the keynote is belonging.
Moon: exact longitude and sign unavailable because the birth time is unknown. Daily interval 311.7591° → 324.9439° (Aquarius).
Stellium in Cancer: Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Pluto — a concentrated emphasis that colors the whole chart.
Stellium in Leo: Mercury, Saturn, Neptune — a concentrated emphasis that colors the whole chart.
Mars conjunction Pluto (orb 2°02′, applying): Mars and Pluto fuse — these functions operate as one package, for better and for richer.
Sun conjunction Jupiter (orb 4°07′, applying): Sun and Jupiter fuse — these functions operate as one package, for better and for richer.
Venus sextile Pluto (orb 0°23′, separating): Venus and Pluto cooperate when invited — an opportunity aspect that rewards small deliberate efforts.
