Dublin, Ireland Sights Depending on One's Likes, Dublin (Irish: Baile Átha Cliath), the Capital of Ireland, Is an Exciting Place to Visit Dublin, Ireland Sights Depending on one's likes, Dublin (Irish: Baile Átha Cliath), the capital of Ireland, is an exciting place to visit. Cultural: Trinity College and in its Old Library, The Book of Kells. St. Patrick's Cathedral, Ireland's tallest church dating back to 1191. Christ Church Cathedral, the oldest structure in Dublin founded in 1030. Dublin Castle which served as a fortress, royal house, military station and other political functions since it was built in 1204. The National Leprechaun Museum and all you wanted to know about those mythical characters. Oscar Wilde's Statue at Merrion Square, celebrating the Anglo‐Irish novelist, playwright, poet and critic of the late 19th century. Born Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde in Dublin on October 16, 1854. <edreams.com> <bbc.co.uk> Sports: Croke Park Stadium (1864) is Ireland's largest sporting arena with over 82,000 seats. It is a useful multifaceted field. It is also a UEFA (Union of European Football Associations) and FIFFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) approved site plus the GAA (Gaelic Athletic Association), which is Ireland's largest sporting organization for amateur sports. GAA promotes Hurling, Football, Handball and Rounders. Women's organization promotes Ladies Football and Camogie. The GAA also promotes Irish music, dance and song. It is based in traditional parishes and Ireland's 32 counties. Croke Stadium hosts the All‐Ireland finals in hurling and football. Croke Park Stadium is named after the GAA's first patron Archbishop Thomas Croke. <crokepark.ie> Nightlife: Centre city of Dublin is not very big. The area surrounding Temple Bar (Irish: Barra an Teampaill) is where most locals and tourists are attracted to. It is on the south bank of River Liffey. In Ango‐Noman (medieval) times it was outside the city walls and was subject to native Irish attacks during the 14th century. It is named after Sir William Temple, teacher, philosopher and Lord Deputy of Ireland. Temple was made Provost of Trinity College in Dublin. He built a house in that area. Because the land was reclaimed from the river's edge the lane and street took his name, Temple's Barr. During the 17th century, the raised estuary took on other streets with residences and businesses. The area had a dubious reputation during the 18th century. Into the 19th and 20th centuries the area suffered from urban decay with derelict buildings. In the 1980s a state‐owned transport company proposed demolition for a bus terminus, but it was cancelled. In 1991, the Irish government set up a Temple Bar Properties not‐for‐profit company to renovate the area. Today Temple Bar is a successful shopping, art, film and nightlife scene in Dublin. <thetemplebarpub.com> This photo program includes shared photographs of the cultural, sport, nightlife and other scenes in Dublin.

  • Background to Stanwix Hospital and Alms-Houses
    Background to Stanwix Hospital and Alms - houses The familiar red - brick terrace of small hou ses, in their own grounds, has stood in Kickham Street, Thurles, since 1889. Colloquially known in Thurles as “The Widows’ Homes”, their official title is “The Stanwix Hospital and Alms - houses”. The first residents , ten widows, moved in at the beginning of September 1890. There was a M atron to supervise, and by the end of 1898 the 2 nd phase of the complex was completed, with the addition of a further 8 houses. Ever since, they have provided sheltered housing for women in retirement, faithful to th e vision of the founder Emma Sla ughter Stanwix. Emma Stanwix , an English woman, an absente e Landlord, a private and reserved lady, an arti st, lived for many years in Versailles, France. S he i nherited her estate of 14 town s - lands in Moycarkey p arish from her father Thomas Sla ughter Stanwix, a high - ranking Officer in the English army. Wilson’s Di rectory lists Shanbally Castle, near Moycarkey, as the residence of Thomas Sla ughter Stanwix , though he rarely, if ever, lived there. Away on army duties, he was commissioned a s Lieutenant - General in 1806 . Going further back in history, during the Cromwellian Wars (1649 - ’52 ) , Cromwell and his forces spent over six months in Mid Tipperary. His cannon shelled Moycarkey Castle, doing considerable damage. Moycarkey Castle was the home of the Cantwell family, An glo - Normans, at the time. William and John Cantwell held substantial lands, and these were confiscated in the Cromwellian Plantation (1653).

Ha'Penny Bridge Ha'Penny Bridge or Half Penny Bridge crosses Liffey Street Lower to Merchants Arch. The elliptical arched metal bridge originally had a wooden gangway when it was constructed in 1816. The bridge has a 43 meter span, 3 meter width and is 3 meters above the water. Today 30,000 people walk across the bridge every day! Before the bridge was built people would take ferries across the river. The ferries were often overcrowded and sometimes even capsized. When the bridge was constructed the ferries became redundant. William Walsh was the former ferry owner and a city alderman. He was compensated with £3,000 and a lease on the bridge for 100 years. Walsh charged Dubliners Image By: HalfPennyBridge-Public Domain a ha'penny to cross the bridge, which was the same price he had charged Image Source: for a ferry ride. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ha'penny_Bridge#mediaviewer/File:HalfPennyBridge.jpg The bridge gets its name from the ha'penny toll but officially it has been called the Liffey Bridge since 1922.

The work assesses the functionality and operation, in both Ireland and the US, of Irish culture as a dynamic but discordant friction within the Anglophone world. Ireland’s unique geopolitical position and its religious constitution nurtured an agrarianism that shared its intellectual roots with American republicanism. This study details how the crisis of Irish land invigorated both traditions as an effective oppositional culture to the processes of modernity.

    BEFORE THE AUCKLAND UNITARY PLAN INDEPENDENT HEARINGS PANEL IN THE MATTER of the Resource Management Act 1991 and the Local Government Act 2010 (Auckland Transitional Provisions) AND IN THE MATTER of the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan 2013 (PAUP), Topic 032 – Historic Heritage Schedules Statement of Evidence by Heike Brigitte Lutz on behalf of The Roman Catholic Bishop of the Diocese of Auckland Dated 28 August 2015 Executive Summary 1. My name is Heike Brigitte Lutz. I am a building conservation consultant providing evidence for the Roman Catholic Bishop of the Diocese of Auckland with regards to Topic 032-Historic Heritage Schedules. My evidence includes four properties owned by the Bishop, St Mary’s Church in Northcote, St Michael’s School in Remuera, St Joseph’s Primary School in Otahuhu, and St Patrick’s Presbytery in Pukekohe. 2. Auckland Council proposes to schedule St Mary’s Church, St Joseph’s Primary School building, and St Patrick’s Presbytery in Appendix 9.1 of the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan. For St Michael’s Church, School and Presbytery the Council proposed to enlarge the extent of place of the existing scheduling of the church and presbytery, and to include the original school building in the schedule. 3. The Roman Catholic Bishop of the Diocese of Auckland requests to remove St Mary’s Church , St Joseph’s Primary School building and St Patrick’s Presbytery from the schedule in Appendix 9.1 on the basis that these places have not sufficient cultural heritage values to warrant scheduling. 4. For the St Michael’s precinct the Roman Catholic Bishop of the Diocese of Auckland desires to reduce the extent of place proposed by Council and remove the original school building from the schedule and delete the reference to the school in the name.

  • The History of Gaelic Football and the Gaelic Athletic Association Jaime Orejan, Phd, Elon University
    The History of Gaelic Football and the Gaelic Athletic Association Jaime Orejan, PhD, Elon University INTRODUCTION Towards the end of the nineteenth century some people feared that the Irish games could face extinction. There was concern that the English games would take over Ireland and the native games would fade away. The establishment of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) in 1884 was the defining moment in the history of Ireland’s native games. Today the GAA regulates four distinctive games. The most popular are Gaelic football and hurling; the others are camogie and handball. Camogie is a field game played by women while handball is like squash without the rackets. The state of health of the GAA and the level of support for the games is a stunning endorsement of the vision of its founders, and the games are enjoyed by millions of people – players and spectators – every year (Healy, 1998). The Gaelic games of football, hurling, camogie, and handball are far removed from the glittering ranks of global sport. In fact, large figure endorsement deals and international stardom do not entice Gaelic players. In a world focused on millionaire sports professionals, these Gaelic games provide a remarkable example of thriving amateur sports. Amateur in their character, Gaelic games exist through the bonds of identity they forge among participants and devotees. Founded out of national pride, sustained through the lean times with that same emotion, few things run so deeply through the core of Irish society than the connection with place and home which the games provide. In a sporting world where players change allegiances for the price of a shoe and satellite television holds fans to ransom, there remains in Gaelic games vital proof of a purer ideal - amateurism, and love of the game (Prior, 1997).
