Looking for some of those myself but here are a few answers:

24d Ballybeen
29d Indigo
37a Matt Holland
36d Donegal
39a Orange

I'm a bit puzzled about the Boston baseball team - their team is Red Sox (6 letters)

Thank you Cupid 04 **Yea Id say "Direct" sounds good Thanks v much
Thank you ballybrittas That breaks the back in it but Donegal street must be wrong if BEJAY1124 is right about "BILLY PLAYS" as that gives me ?O?B??? for 36d The street in central Belfast
Thanks Beejay 1124 its the only answer I've got so far but a small conflict as you see above! BUT I REASLLY DO APPRECIATE ALL YOU'R HELP!!!!

Thank you also Glastron
And Thanks Patricia53
Also thanks to MoJo JO JO
Between you all I have finally cracked it as The Belfast street is "LOMBARD" street and indeed DINGLE is the peninsula and The Boston Celtics do exist and the others are now obviously Aileen OToole for the founder of the post and PLASTRON is the swashbucklers protection
SO Thank you all my friends very very much. I really do appreciate your help!

Lombard st (for central Belfast) fits in with Billy plays
