Ha'Penny Bridge Ha'Penny Bridge or Half Penny Bridge crosses Liffey Street Lower to Merchants Arch. The elliptical arched metal bridge originally had a wooden gangway when it was constructed in 1816. The bridge has a 43 meter span, 3 meter width and is 3 meters above the water. Today 30,000 people walk across the bridge every day! Before the bridge was built people would take ferries across the river. The ferries were often overcrowded and sometimes even capsized. When the bridge was constructed the ferries became redundant. William Walsh was the former ferry owner and a city alderman. He was compensated with £3,000 and a lease on the bridge for 100 years. Walsh charged Dubliners Image By: HalfPennyBridge-Public Domain a ha'penny to cross the bridge, which was the same price he had charged Image Source: for a ferry ride. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ha'penny_Bridge#mediaviewer/File:HalfPennyBridge.jpg The bridge gets its name from the ha'penny toll but officially it has been called the Liffey Bridge since 1922. It is also known as Triangle, Iron Bridge and Wellington. The bridge remained the only pedestrian bridge crossing the Liffey River until Millennium Bridge was built in 1999.

  • Theatre 471-002: Irish Theatre and Culture Rick Jones Griffith 303, Daily, 9-12 (Time Shared with THR 471.1) Summer I, 2016
    Theatre 471-002: Irish Theatre and Culture Rick Jones Griffith 303, Daily, 9-12 (time shared with THR 471.1) Summer I, 2016 Course overview: This course emphasizes the relationship between Irish theatre and the culture: that is, between theatre and other arts, between theatre and histori-political events, etc. The course will be taught in conjunction with THR 471.1: Irish Theatre and Drama. Since all students enrolled for one course must also enroll for the other, there may be some trade- offs of time between the two courses. This half of the sequence is primarily experiential, i.e. centered primarily on the fact of being in Ireland. While there is a clear academic intent to the course, the emphasis is on the act of engaging with Irish culture rather than on the articulation of that engagement. Prerequisites: Sophomore standing or above; ENG 132 and THR 162 with grades of C or better, or permission of instructor. Concurrent registration in THR 471.1. Course fees as determined by the Office of International Studies and Programs. Contacting me: Office: 217 Fine Arts, ext. 1290 (department office is room 212, ext. 4003). I will be available immediately following class every day, and by appointment. In Ireland, of course, other arrangements can/will be made. My cell phone # will be distributed in class (emergencies only while abroad, please). E-mail: My SFA e-mail address is [email protected]. This is my preferred means of contact (while in the US). I check e-mail at least three times a day. I do receive literally dozens of e-mail messages each day: please include the prefix “471” (e.g., “471: problems with paper”) in the subject line of all messages so I’ll recognize you immediately as a student in this class.
