  • Research Guide for Archival Sources of Smock Alley Theatre, Dublin
    Research Guide for Archival Sources of Smock Alley theatre, Dublin. October 2009 This research guide is intended to provide an accessible insight into the historical, theatrical and archival legacy of Smock Alley theatre, Dublin. It is designed as an aid for all readers and researchers who have an interest in theatre history and particularly those wishing to immerse themselves in the considerable theatrical legacy of Smock Alley theatre and it’s array of actors, actresses, directors, designers, its many scandals and stories, of what was and is a unique theatrical venue in the fulcrum of Dublin’s cultural heart. Founded in 1662 by John Ogilby, Smock Alley theatre and stage was home to many of the most famous and talented actors, writers and directors ever to work and produce in Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales, throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth century. Celebrated players included Peg Woffington, David Garrick, Colley Cibber, Spranger Barry and George Ann Bellamy. Renowned managers and designers such as John Ogilby, Thomas Sheridan, Louis De Val and Joseph Ashbury would help cement the place of Smock Alley theatre as a venue of immense theatrical quality where more than just a play was produced and performed but more of a captivating, wild and entertaining spectacle. The original playbills from seventeenth century productions at Smock Alley detail many and varied interval acts that often took place as often as between every act would feature singing, dancing, farce, tumbling, juggling and all manner of entertainment for the large public audience. Smock Alley was celebrated for its musical and operatic productions as well as its purely dramatic performances.

  • A Future for Northern Ireland's Built Heritage
    VOLUME 7 ISSUE 2 Environmental Fact Sheet March 2009 A Future for Northern Ireland’s Built Heritage Foreword Northern Ireland’s built heritage is one of its prime assets. From stately homes cared for by the National Trust and open to the public, through those whose private owners have lovingly restored and care for their own homes to the excellent work being done by Building Preservation Trusts to rescue buildings which would otherwise be lost, many people and organisations are playing their part in keeping our heritage alive for current and future generations. Preserving our built heritage is about much more than just protecting the sheer beauty of the buildings. It is a significant contributor to our efforts to combat climate change through recognising and realising the embodied energy in these venerable buildings. It is about retaining a tangible record of life in former times. It is also about recognising and passing on a respect for our past and our heritage, and realising that life in the past was very different from life today, and using that knowledge to recognise the importance of change in all our lives. This document brings together papers from a wide range of those involved in the built heritage to provide a broad perspective on the issues. There are some clear themes running through the document, chief amongst them the intrinsic, cultural and aesthetic value of the built heritage and the need to preserve it. There are many means of protecting that heritage, and all need to be encouraged and delivered in the most appropriate ways to ensure that this record of our past continues into the future as a real and living part of our landscape and townscape.

He said that the issue was raised at the Environment Committee on Tuesday night where 1 – Development Committee (12.09.18) it was suggested that the Council write to the Fire Service to raising concerns, but firstly bring to the attention of the Development committee for their final recommendation.
