  • Family Activities Sandymount a Beautiful Seaside Residential Suburb Just a Short Drive from the Hotel
    Tel: +353 (0)1 6681111 Web: www.claytonhotels.com Family Activities Sandymount A beautiful seaside residential suburb just a short drive from the Hotel. It is known for its long, breezy beach at Sandymount Strand, overlooked by a 19th- century Martello tower built for coastal defence. It’s a popular spot for fishing, kayaking, and weekend walks with views across Dublin Bay, also drawing crowds for summer swims in the Irish Sea. Inland, the village has upscale boutiques, delis, and gastropubs serving local oysters and mussels. DunLaoghaire This seaside town and a popular destination for locals and tourists alike. Ireland’s first ever railway connected the town to Dublin. Wonderfully located on the glistening south coast of Dublin bay, it can be reached by car or public transport. The local DART Station is only a 5-minute walk, or should you wish to drive – it is a 15-minute drive. Walk along the famous 2.6km East Pier all the way to the lighthouse. The pier has featured in films such as Michael Collins (1996) and Sing Street (2016). Enjoy traditional fish & chips with the family or grab an ice-cream and chose a romantic stroll instead. Bray This is a popular seaside resort, situated 21km from Dublin City centre. It is an ideal place to visit because of its proximity to both Dublin and the sites in Wicklow. Bray is the longest established seaside town in Ireland and enjoys a mile long beachfront promenade. Enjoy a leisurely stroll along the beach and scenic walks on Bray Head. Two of the highlights in the area are Kilruddery House & Gardens, one of Irelands great houses and National Sea Life Centre, an all-weather marine and freshwater zoo.

IVRLA1 RESEARCH REPORT: SPEECHES OF SEÁN LEMASS AS TAOISEACH Dr Clara Cullen (Researcher) 1. CONTEXT Seán Francis Lemass (1899-1971) was an active contributor to Irish national and political life from 1916, when he fought in Dublin’s General Post Office in the Easter Rising, until his retirement from the post of Taoiseach in 1966. His life and political career mirror those of the emerging Irish state, starting with armed opposition, moving into an acceptance of constitutional politics, and finally embracing the challenges of political, economic and industrial modernisation. As a boy of sixteen he was briefly imprisoned after the Rising and some years later he was interned at Ballykinlar Camp during the War of Independence. He was a member of the Four Courts garrison in 1922 and was subsequently interned by the Irish Free State government. Described by one of his biographers as Eamon de Valera’s “loyal lieutenant for four decades” (Horgan), Lemass was first elected to Dáil Eireann for Sinn Féin in 1924, representing Dublin South City, although he followed the Sinn Féin abstentionist policy and did not take his seat there.

So as we head out into a new year, with a little more hope now perhaps, some of our ‘friends’ from last year are to be found among an exciting new list of books for 2021. We embark on our journey this year in the company of Adomnán and Columba, and meet along the way William Marshal, Prior John de Pembridge and the swashbuckling Captain Cuéllar. After a sojourn along the streets of medieval Dublin we visit the Elizabethan Quadrangle at Trinity College, before surveying the final stand of the rebels on Vinegar Hill. We chart the rise and fall of the Orange Order during the Great Famine, examine the lavish contents of country houses, and chronicle the remarkable career of Teresa Ball, founder of the Loreto schools. Along the way we review the changing fortunes of Henrietta Street in Dublin, the politics and political culture of the long eighteenth century in Ireland, a new history of the city and county of Limerick, and we hear harp music from around the world.

  • THE HISTORY and DEVELOPMENT of the SPECIAL CRIMINAL COURT 1922-2005” (Four Courts Press, 2007) Fergal Francis Davis
    178 Judicial Studies Institute Journal [2009:1 BOOK REVIEW “THE HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE SPECIAL CRIMINAL COURT 1922-2005” (Four Courts Press, 2007) Fergal Francis Davis RONAN KEANE It is a melancholy reflection that, during the period of almost ninety years since the foundation of the State, the institution of the “special court” has been with us almost without interruption. As this exhaustive and thoughtful survey demonstrates, it has been present in a number of different forms, which have, however, one major feature in common: the assignment of at least some criminal trials of serious offences to tribunals sitting without a jury. Irrespective of one’s views on the merits of jury trials in criminal cases, the fact that successive governments and legislatures have considered it necessary to abrogate the right to them over so lengthy a period is, of itself, somewhat depressing. It can, of course, be said that the same period was dominated by the Civil War and its aftermath, the huge security problems of the Second World War, the “troubles” in Northern Ireland and, more recently, the growth of organised crime. That helps to explain the almost continuous recourse by successive executives to “special courts”, but is hardly of great comfort. Given that the distinguishing feature of these tribunals is the absence of the jury, it is understandable that Dr Davis at the outset should consider the arguments for and against the central role played by the jury in the Anglo-American criminal justice system. He is not fully persuaded by the arguments of those who, like de Tocqueville, see it as a valuable democratic process.

  • The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers
    THE LIST of CHURCH OF IRELAND PARISH REGISTERS A Colour-coded Resource Accounting For What Survives; Where It Is; & With Additional Information of Copies, Transcripts and Online Indexes SEPTEMBER 2021 The List of Parish Registers The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers was originally compiled in-house for the Public Record Office of Ireland (PROI), now the National Archives of Ireland (NAI), by Miss Margaret Griffith (1911-2001) Deputy Keeper of the PROI during the 1950s. Griffith’s original list (which was titled the Table of Parochial Records and Copies) was based on inventories returned by the parochial officers about the year 1875/6, and thereafter corrected in the light of subsequent events - most particularly the tragic destruction of the PROI in 1922 when over 500 collections were destroyed. A table showing the position before 1922 had been published in July 1891 as an appendix to the 23rd Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records Office of Ireland. In the light of the 1922 fire, the list changed dramatically – the large numbers of collections underlined indicated that they had been destroyed by fire in 1922. The List has been updated regularly since 1984, when PROI agreed that the RCB Library should be the place of deposit for Church of Ireland registers. Under the tenure of Dr Raymond Refaussé, the Church’s first professional archivist, the work of gathering in registers and other local records from local custody was carried out in earnest and today the RCB Library’s parish collections number 1,114. The Library is also responsible for the care of registers that remain in local custody, although until they are transferred it is difficult to ascertain exactly what dates are covered.
