It is best in brilliant sunshine, but when there is a storm out at sea, the view is well worth looking at as well. To me it is the kind of view I would go on holiday to see. On a sunny weekend we get a lot of visitors here. The place is packed. Some see that as a negative, but it is the flip side of living in a lovely area. It may be a cliche to some, but we do have a village atmosphere here. I have got to know many people through the residents association. We have had our battles over the years to protect the area as a very pleasant residential and recreational area. We are not against change. We are all for improvements. We just want to make sure they are the right ones.

  • Martello Towers Research Project
    Martello Towers Research Project March 2008 Jason Bolton MA MIAI IHBC www.boltonconsultancy.com Conservation Consultant [email protected] Executive Summary “Billy Pitt had them built, Buck Mulligan said, when the French were on the sea”, Ulysses, James Joyce. The „Martello Towers Research Project‟ was commissioned by Fingal County Council and Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council, with the support of The Heritage Council, in order to collate all known documentation relating to the Martello Towers of the Dublin area, including those in Bray, Co. Wicklow. The project was also supported by Dublin City Council and Wicklow County Council. Martello Towers are one of the most well-known fortifications in the world, with examples found throughout Ireland, the United Kingdom and along the trade routes to Africa, India and the Americas. The towers are typically squat, cylindrical, two-storey masonry towers positioned to defend a strategic section of coastline from an invading force, with a landward entrance at first-floor level defended by a machicolation, and mounting one or more cannons to the rooftop gun platform. The Dublin series of towers, built 1804-1805, is the only group constructed to defend a capital city, and is the most complete group of towers still existing in the world. The report begins with contemporary accounts of the construction and significance of the original tower at Mortella Point in Corsica from 1563-5, to the famous attack on that tower in 1794, where a single engagement involving key officers in the British military became the catalyst for a global military architectural phenomenon. However, the design of the Dublin towers is not actually based on the Mortella Point tower.

They are valuable cultural and recreational assets that perform different functions and have different characters despite their Bullock and Sandycove Harbours Masterplan Harbours and Sandycove Bullock proximity. There is a sense of belonging to the Harbours that has been passed down through generations, juxtaposed with pressures of modern city life with new users and ideas for these spaces. The Harbours have a role as public spaces, social and cultural hubs, natural amenities and recreation for water sports ranging from swimmers to paddle boarders. They are seasonal places, commercially valuable. They are destinations for fishermen and multitudes of teenagers on warm summer evenings. They are also places where people live and want to enjoy the residential amenity. This attractiveness and enjoyment of these small spaces brings challenges such as security, management, access, maintenance and cleanliness. Given that these are small Harbours the intensity of activity is perhaps heightened, and issues condensed. The primary challenge of this Masterplan is to capture all the wonderful and unique characteristics of the Harbours, define what is important (and why) and consider what role and potential these places have.

A yellow dressinggown, ungirdled, was sustained gently behind him by the mild morning air. He held the bowl aloft and intoned: --INTROIBO AD ALTARE DEI. Halted, he peered down the dark winding stairs and called out coarsely: --Come up, Kinch! Come up, you fearful jesuit! Solemnly he came forward and mounted the round gunrest. He faced about and blessed gravely thrice the tower, the surrounding land and the awaking mountains. Then, catching sight of Stephen Dedalus, he bent towards him and made rapid crosses in the air, gurgling in his throat and shaking his head. Stephen Dedalus, displeased and sleepy, leaned his arms on the top of the staircase and looked coldly at the shaking gurgling face that blessed him, equine in its length, and at the light untonsured hair, grained and hued like pale oak. Buck Mulligan peeped an instant under the mirror and then covered the bowl smartly. --Back to barracks! he said sternly. He added in a preacher's tone: --For this, O dearly beloved, is the genuine Christine: body and soul and blood and ouns. Slow music, please. Shut your eyes, gents. One moment. A little trouble about those white corpuscles. Silence, all. He peered sideways up and gave a long slow whistle of call, then paused awhile in rapt attention, his even white teeth glistening here and there with gold points.

Dublin; Forty-Foot Bathing Place 1.Telemachus.qxp_1.Telemachus 22/09/2017 09:02 Page 16 ULYSSES UNBOUND Summary Malachi Mulligan, a medical student, appears at the top of the martello tower in Sandycove, Co. Dublin, holding a shaving bowl, and launches into a parody of the consecration of the Mass (the turning of bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ), using the shaving bowl as a mock chalice for the consecration of the wine. Stephen Dedalus, a would-be writer and currently a teacher, who also lives in the tower, soon joins him. Stephen watches as Mulligan completes the parody. It is clear that there is friction between them: the first thing we learn about Dedalus is that he is ‘displeased and sleepy’. Almost immediately we find out why: another young man is staying as a guest in the tower, an Englishman, known only as Haines, a friend of Mulligan’s. Stephen quietly objects to the presence in the tower of Haines, who was raving in his sleep all the previous night in a manner that Stephen finds disturbing. There is a strong contrast between the manners of the two young men: Mulligan is all bluster and bravado; Stephen is reticent to the point of rudeness, refusing any sociability. It is as if as the exaggerated exuberance of Mulligan’s manner is an equal and opposite reaction to the exaggerated reticence of Stephen’s.

A deep-red sun hovers, suspended, it seems, only a few feet above the calm sea lending to the blue a golden shimmer. The sky is almost clear but the monotony of perfection is gracefully avoided by a scattering of gently drifting pink and grey-white puffs of cloud, which brook no ill to those beneath. The tide is full and adds to the moment a peaceful adagio as the water gently laps the granite and concrete of the shoreline, and the tinkling of the yachts at mooring is accompanied by the musical chatter of numerous birds. I see the cormorants poised with wings spread in statuesque immobility and further out at sea a lone sentinel heron gazes towards the red sky of Howth. The winding sea road from Seapoint to Sandycove is as quiet as a country path; early risers'are not plentiful in Dublin and nature undisturbed lavishly evokes a scene of tranquil perfection in the assurance of being unmolested.

  • Synopsis of Ulysses
    A ppendix A Synopsis of Ulysses 1. “Telemachus.” On June 16, 1904, at 8:00 a.m., Stephen Dedalus is residing with his mocking medical student friend Buck Mulligan at a stone tower in Sandycove, on the shore of Dublin Bay about seven miles southeast of the city center. Stephen has passed a diff- ficult night because Haines, Mulligan’s English houseguest, kept him awake “raving all night about a black panther” (1.7). Stephen has also had a dream about his dead mother, who passed away about a year ago. Stephen still wears mourning clothes and is tormented with guilt (“agenbite of inwit” [1.481]) over his refusal to pray at his mother’s deathbed when she asked him to. Mulligan’s insensitivity to Stephen’s feelings is one reason for his imminent departure from the tower; Haines is another: Mulligan wants Stephen to perform for the Englishman for money, but Stephen finds the smug, anti-Semitic Saxon intolerable (“If he stays on here I am off” [1.62–63]). The three breakfast together, with the milkwoman—in Stephen’s mind— playing the symbolic role of Ireland: slighting the artist while giving her attention to the Englishman and the “priest.” Stephen and Haines talk about history as Mulligan swims in the swimming hole known as the Forty Foot, having extracted the key to the tower from Stephen, as well as two pence for a pint. The three plan to meet at a pub later in the day: “The Ship [. .] Half twelve” (1.733). 2. “Nestor.” Stephen is seen here as a schoolmaster teaching at a boys’ school in Dalkey, about a mile southeast of the Sandycove tower.
