It was the ways to penetrate this physical barrier via Bristol and Chester in the middle first place on the island to evolve into a settlement whose economy was ages and later via Holyhead and Liverpool.

Wiecznie wilgotna i ciepła za przyczyną Atlantyku i Golfsztromu, zapewnia znakomite warunki we- getacji. Nie tylko roślin. W samolocie tanich linii angielskich z Polski do Belfastu i podczas podniebnego powrotu sły- chać szczebiot kilkuletnich dzieci po polsku. To młode mał- żeństwa z dwojgiem, trojgiem maleńkich pociech, także z niemowlętami, lecą na wakacje do dziadków w Polsce lub wracają od nich do nowej, przyjaznej im ojczyzny. Też jakby „przedmurza” srodze doświadczonego w historii przez protestanckich sąsiadów. W hotelach i restauracjach można porozumieć się w naszym języku, a w kościołach trafić na mszę dla rodaków. Wyprawa zorganizowana przez nestora krakowskich mo- stowców – profesora Kazimierza Flagę – wiodła na mosty, a że w programie przewidziano też kilka średniowiecznych zamków, to była nadzieja na zdjęcia prowadzących do nich mostów. Być może zwodzonych nad fosami. W większej ich liczbie ujawniłyby się jakieś podobieństwa… podstawy do uogólnień. Nic z tego. Przy zamkach nie było fos. Nawet suchych. Ani mostów… a jeśli nawet były dawniej, to dziś ustąpiły miejsca nasypom i wyasfaltowanym drogom dojaz- dowym. Lecz ponieważ drogi te wiodą dawnymi szlakami – przebiegają też po dawnych mostach sklepionych z ciosów kamiennych. Kamień, materiał miejscowy, łatwo dostępny, odporny, ponadczasowy, więc i mostów przetrwało niemało. W większości – podobne. Wystarczy kilka zdjęć (fot. 1). Kulminacją wyprawy były mosty w Dublinie. Mieszanka dawnych i współczesnych. Wśród nich dwa mosty Santiago Calatravy. Niewiele jest miast, gdzie ten słynny architekt i mostowiec postawił więcej niż jeden obiekt. Można przy- puszczać, że polubił to miasto…, wszak Dublin to koleb- ka piwa Guiness i whisky Jameson.

Previously, the museum’s collections had been divided between Leinster House, originally the headquarters of the Royal Dublin Society, and the Natural History Museum in Merrion Street, built as an extension to Leinster House in 1856–7. Under the Act, the government purchased the museum buildings and collections. To provide storage and display space for the Leinster House collections, the government quickly implemented plans to construct a new, custom-built museum on Kildare Street and on 29th August 1890, the new museum opened its doors to the public.

  • The History and Nature of Irish Street Names
    Names, Vol. 37, No.4 (December 1989) The History and Nature of Irish Street Names Breandan S. Mac Aodha Abstract Street names in Irish towns and cities reflect the historical periods in which those names were given, medieval through the twentieth century. The majority of these names can be traced to English words, although many streets have English-sounding names which can be traced to Irish words. Classifying these names reveals the many reasons for name origins, from descriptive through destination to commemorative. ***** The Growth of Irish Towns Relatively little is known about the origins of Irish urban life. It is quite conceivable that future research will reveal the importance of pre- Viking settlements throughout the island, just as recent excavations, notably those at Woodquay in Dublin (Wallace; 0 Riordain), have emphasized the role of Norse invaders and traders in developing the coastal towns of the east and south. Town life flourished in the Anglo- Norman period (1169-c.1300). The Viking ports were redeveloped and many new towns were established, often on the sites of former monastic settlements. These Anglo-Norman towns were concentrated in the southeast, in Leinster and east Munster, but they included important outposts elsewhere such as Galway in Conn aught and Carrickfergus in Ulster (0 Sullivan; Mc Neill). With the decline of Anglo-Norman power many of these towns shrank into insignificance or even disappeared (Glasscock), but a few new ones were established in the counties of Laois and Offaly during the reign of Philip and Mary (1553-58). The Tudor reconquest brought about a revival of urban life in the old southeastern heartland of English influence (Aalen, chapter 6), while the early seventeenth century saw the final decline of Irish power in the north of the island and the founding of a large ·number of new towns in the escheated counties of Ulster 345 346 Breandan S.
