Killeen Castle and Estate Being Turned Into Major Hotel and Golf Resort Consulting Engineers: Barrett Mahony, Dublin
ACEI_07-p69-110 3/1/07 10:22 AM Page 91 ACEI Killeen Castle and estate being turned into major hotel and golf resort Consulting engineers: Barrett Mahony, Dublin Killeen Castle, an historic residence in Co Meath, long derelict, is being totally restored in a long term project that will see the castle form the basis of a five star luxury hotel, the creation of a top class 18 hole golf course and the building of 179 luxury houses. Already, the resort has been selected as the venue in 2011 of the Solheim Cup, when the best female golfers in Europe will compete against their opposite numbers from the US. It’s a biennial competition that is the female equivalent of the Ryder Cup. For the Killeen Castle project, it’s a huge vote of confidence, before the project is even finished.When this com- petition was held in Sweden in 2003, it attracted over 100,000 spectators, so when the Solheim Cup competition comes to Killeen Castle, it is likely to prove just as popular draw for visitors as the Ryder Cup was at the K Club in September, 2006. The Killeen demesne was the ancestral home of the Plunkett family for close on 600 years; St Oliver Plunkett was a member of this distinguished family. The demesne of Killeen was created in 1181 by explaining why even today, the Killeen estate is much Hugh de Lacy. Sir Christopher Plunkett, deputy Lord larger than its next door neighbour. Lieutenant of Ireland, was created the Baron of Killeen in the early 15th century; he had married the The original Norman keep at Killeen was built in the daughter of Sir Lucas Cusack in 1403, thereby bring- 12th century and subsequently, various extensions ing the demesnes of both Killeen and neighbouring were built before it fell into ruin. -
NUI MAYNOOTH MILITARY AVIATION in IRELAND 1921- 1945 By
L.O. 4-1 ^4- NUI MAYNOOTH QllftMll II hiJfiifin Ui Mu*« MILITARY AVIATION IN IRELAND 1921- 1945 By MICHAEL O’MALLEY THESIS FOR THE DEGREE OF PHD DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF IRELAND MAYNOOTH Supervisor of Research: Dr. Ian Speller JANUARY 2007 IRISH MILITARY AVIATION 1921 - 1945 This thesis initially sets out to examine the context of the purchase of two aircraft, on the authority of Michael Collins and funded by the second Dail, during the Treaty negotiations of 1921. The subsequent development of civil aviation policy including the regulation of civil aviation, the management of a civil aerodrome and the possible start of a state sponsored civil air service to Britain or elsewhere is also explained. Michael Collins’ leading role in the establishment of a small Military Air Service in 1922 and the role of that service in the early weeks of the Civil War are examined in detail. The modest expansion in the resources and role of the Air Service following Collins’ death is examined in the context of antipathy toward the ex-RAF pilots and the general indifference of the new Army leadership to military aviation. The survival of military aviation - the Army Air Corps - will be examined in the context of the parsimony of Finance, and the administrative traumas of demobilisation, the Anny mutiny and reorganisation processes of 1923/24. The manner in which the Army leadership exercised command over, and directed aviation policy and professional standards affecting career pilots is examined in the contexts of the contrasting preparations for war of the Army and the Government. -

Fronts in the World Ocean's Large Marine Ecosystems. ICES CM 2007
- 1 - This paper can be freely cited without prior reference to the authors International Council ICES CM 2007/D:21 for the Exploration Theme Session D: Comparative Marine Ecosystem of the Sea (ICES) Structure and Function: Descriptors and Characteristics Fronts in the World Ocean’s Large Marine Ecosystems Igor M. Belkin and Peter C. Cornillon Abstract. Oceanic fronts shape marine ecosystems; therefore front mapping and characterization is one of the most important aspects of physical oceanography. Here we report on the first effort to map and describe all major fronts in the World Ocean’s Large Marine Ecosystems (LMEs). Apart from a geographical review, these fronts are classified according to their origin and physical mechanisms that maintain them. This first-ever zero-order pattern of the LME fronts is based on a unique global frontal data base assembled at the University of Rhode Island. Thermal fronts were automatically derived from 12 years (1985-1996) of twice-daily satellite 9-km resolution global AVHRR SST fields with the Cayula-Cornillon front detection algorithm. These frontal maps serve as guidance in using hydrographic data to explore subsurface thermohaline fronts, whose surface thermal signatures have been mapped from space. Our most recent study of chlorophyll fronts in the Northwest Atlantic from high-resolution 1-km data (Belkin and O’Reilly, 2007) revealed a close spatial association between chlorophyll fronts and SST fronts, suggesting causative links between these two types of fronts.

April 25 – May 6, 2020 Saturday, April 25, 2020 – We are on our way! Meet your tour directors Dea and Declan at the Saint Louis Airport for our flight to Dublin, the capital city of Ireland. We fly through the night, so try to get some sleep. We wake up in Ireland! (Meals on Plane) Sunday, April 26, 2020 – Titanic Museum and Giant’s Causeway! Céad míle fáilte, meaning “A hundred thousand welcomes” to Ireland. We arrive at the Dublin airport and meet our driver who will guide us through the backroads of Ireland. We depart the city and head north through the countryside on our way to Northern Ireland, sometimes referred to as the “Wee North.” We first visit the Belfast Titanic Museum. Built at the nearby shipyards, the Titanic has captivated our hearts and imaginations for decades. Learn about what went into building such a ship, as well as what happened on that fateful night in April.
