Theirs were, with some exceptions, supporting rather than leading roles. In the feudal period, they were knights, not earls. Afterwards, with occasional exceptions such as Major General Patrick Purcell, who died fighting Cromwell,3 they tended to be colonels and captains rather than generals. They served as sheriffs and seneschals rather than Irish viceroys or lords deputy.

    Focus On Limerick • Limerick City Gallery of Art _________________________________________________________________ 12th November 2008 Announcing Two Major Limerick Group Exhibitions Seeing Georgian Limerick and Presence 08 for the Winter Season. Seeing Georgian Limerick, a beautiful photographic exhibition of Georgian Limerick celebrates the City while Presence 08 celebrates the wealth of Limerick’s artistic talent. _____________________________________________________________________ 1. Exhibition Opening: Seeing Georgian Limerick Kieran CLANCY Sean LYNCH Eamonn O’MAHONY Deirdre POWER 27th Nov – 4th Jan 2009 Limerick City Gallery of Art in association with Limerick Chapter of the Irish Georgian Society is delighted to announce Seeing Georgian Limerick, a jointly commissioned exhibition to commemorate 50 years of the Irish Georgian Society. Four artists Kieran Clancy, Sean Lynch, Eamonn O’Mahony, Deirdre Power have been invited to photograph Georgian Limerick. The historic and commercial centre of Limerick, the Georgian new town is extremely familiar, although many of the buildings are underused and have been allowed to decay. The exhibition celebrates the architectural character and the historic importance of the townscape, which are often not fully recognized. To ask the four artists to photograph what they see in Georgian Limerick was an invitation to reveal what has been hidden by familiarity and neglect; architectural coherence, moments of monumentality. Images can show what is normally unseen; the richness of the interior decoration, the life of the lanes. Taken from oblique perspectives the photographs have the potential to uncover an unfamiliar Georgian Limerick. With the power of photography to focus attention and even to transform the ordinary and taken-for-granted it is hoped that the exhibition will help to define the character and value of Georgian Limerick.

  • Cni January 20
    January 20 Image of the day - Martin Luther King Jr [email protected] Page 1 January 20 Martin Luther King Jr remains relevant, Pope Francis Archbishop José H Gomez, President, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops issued the following statement on Martin Luther King Jr Day. For much of the past year, America has been reckoning with the legacy of slavery and the persistence of racial injustice in our country. Sadly, it is still true that the "colour of our skin" often matters more in our society than the "content of our character," as Rev Martin Luther King, Jr, said a half- century ago. This year as we commemorate the legacy of this great American, we remember especially Rev King's belief in nonviolence and the power of love. As we witnessed in the violence in our cities last summer and in the violence that broke out again last week at the Capitol in Washington, DC, our country has become too angry, too bitter, and too divided. And as we confront our deep divisions, we face the same choices that Rev King and the civil rights movement faced. For us, too, the question is how will we struggle against the injustices in our society, what means will we use? In 1958, Rev King wrote: "Along the way of life, someone must have the sense enough and the morality enough to cut off the chain of hate. This can only be done by projecting the ethics of love to the center of our lives." This is the [email protected] Page 2 January 20 challenge for every one of us who believes in the promise of America and seeks to renew the soul of this great nation.

    Buses in the Burren 2014 A Study of the Impacts and Issues January 2015 Funded by 1 Introduction This study on bus and coach tourism has been commissioned by the Burren & Cliffs of Moher Geopark and has been funded jointly under TransTourism, the Northern Periphery Interreg IVB Programme and the EU LIFE + GeoparkLIFE Programme. The Burren is one of Europe’s most unique landscapes whose landscape and culture attracts increasing visitor numbers each year. The astonishing character of this karst region has evolved through a powerful combination of geology, ecology, archaeology, agriculture, history, heritage, commerce, creativity and community. These rich and diverse influences infuse the area with a haunting, spectacular and world-unique beauty. Tourism is a valuable source of income for many businesses and families in the region. The quality of the tourism product and the care with which it is offered are crucial attractions for visitors. It’s clear to all that tourism brings challenges as well as opportunities and that the unique natural assets of the region need to be protected and cared for. To ensure the protection and sustainable use of this natural resource, a co-ordinated approach to visitor management and environmental protection has been underway for over a decade implementing the principle of ecotourism in the area and linking environmental, community and tourism interests with statutory agencies and business operators. These efforts have been accelerate since the award of UNESCO recognised Global Geopark status in 2011. In order to plan more effectively for sustainable tourism practices in the area, the Burren & Cliffs of Moher Geopark have commissioned this study to establish baseline information on the extent and impacts of coach tourism in the area.
