Dear Tourism Partner We Are Delighted to Welcome You to Ireland Dear Tourism Partner We are delighted to welcome you to Ireland this week and we look forward to meeting with you and to showcasing what Ireland has to offer as a compelling and competitive holiday destination. We are very excited about our immediate business prospects. Our industry has made tremendous progress in enhancing our competitive position internationally. Also, visitor sentiment, tracked independently, is particularly strong and interest in Ireland amongst the international travel trade is buoyant. This year is also a very special year for all of us in Irish tourism. It’s the year of The Gathering 2013, a year-long celebration of authentic Irish culture and heritage with an open invitation to our friends, relations and leisure tourists to visit and participate. Some 3,500 ‘gatherings’ have been organised so far and the response to date has been great. In some respects our Meitheal event this week is also a kind of ‘gathering’! In total, we have invited some 550 guests from the international travel trade – friends of Irish tourism with whom we have a special and hopefully lasting relationship. In fact, that authentic Irish cultural experience so central to all ‘gatherings’ will also feature within our Meitheal social programme during your stay. While we celebrate our historic culture and heritage, we are also relentlessly pursuing and promoting imaginative and innovative ideas to stimulate both new and returning visitors. This year, we will offer you a preview of an iconic visitor experience scheduled for the 2014 season. Branded the ‘Wild Atlantic Way’, this visitor experience takes its name from a new 2,000km touring route, the longest themed route of its kind in the world! Extending from our northern-most point to the southern tip of our island and hugging our wild Atlantic coastline, the Wild Atlantic Way promises a myriad of memorable authentically Irish visitor experiences, endless opportunities to engage with our traditions, customs and stories along what was once the edge of the known world. My industry partners and my colleagues in Tourism Ireland and Fáilte Ireland are very much looking forward to sharing more of our stories with you and to showcasing much more of what Ireland can offer your business. Thank you for accepting our invitation to Meitheal and I look forward to welcoming you and meeting you during your stay with us.

  • Portfolio of Straffan
    Straffan Portfolio ENTENTE FLORALE 2016 Straffan Straffan village is situated in north east Kildare at a particularly low lying point of the Liffey Valley, along the River Liffey and river Morrell. The village name is the anglicised form of the original Irish, Teach Srafáin, which translates as “Church of St. Srafán”, a saint of the early Irish church who resided in the area at the end of the 7th century. The second Irish name of the town, Cluaníní, means “little meadows.” The current form of the village is linked to the Anglo-Norman invasion of the 12th century. Norman leader, Strongbow, granted Straffan to Maurice Fitzgerald, ancestor of the Earls of Desmond and of Kildare. A fortress and stronghold was built in conjunction with the granting of land, as was common practice at the time. Today, Straffan village has a population of over 600 people, with an additional 1700 inhabitants living in the surrounding hinterland. Only 30km from Dublin, Straffan is situated close to the larger towns of Celbridge, Maynooth, Clane and Naas. On the roads entering Straffan you are met with hedgerows, tree lined corridors or stone walls before arriving in a beautifully maintained, village, centred on a pair of crossroads, on which are situated Roman Catholic and Church of Ireland churches. 13th century Barberstown Castle and The K Club, on the grounds of Straffan estate are two luxury accommodation options in the village with historical significance. In recent years, the K Club has also become synonymous with golf in Ireland, hosting the 2006 Ryder Cup, the European Open from 1991 – 2007 and the Irish Open in May 2016.

  • CSG Bibliog 24
    CASTLE STUDIES: RECENT PUBLICATIONS – 29 (2016) By Dr Gillian Scott with the assistance of Dr John R. Kenyon Introduction Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the CSG annual bibliography, this year containing over 150 references to keep us all busy. I must apologise for the delay in getting the bibliography to members. This volume covers publications up to mid- August of this year and is for the most part written as if to be published last year. Next year’s bibliography (No.30 2017) is already up and running. I seem to have come across several papers this year that could be viewed as on the periphery of our area of interest. For example the papers in the latest Ulster Journal of Archaeology on the forts of the Nine Years War, the various papers in the special edition of Architectural Heritage and Eric Johnson’s paper on moated sites in Medieval Archaeology. I have listed most of these even if inclusion stretches the definition of ‘Castle’ somewhat. It’s a hard thing to define anyway and I’m sure most of you will be interested in these papers. I apologise if you find my decisions regarding inclusion and non-inclusion a bit haphazard, particularly when it comes to the 17th century and so-called ‘Palace’ and ‘Fort’ sites. If these are your particular area of interest you might think that I have missed some items. If so, do let me know. In a similar vein I was contacted this year by Bruce Coplestone-Crow regarding several of his papers over the last few years that haven’t been included in the bibliography.

  • Shannon, Ireland Destination Guide
    Shannon, Ireland Destination Guide Overview of Shannon The River Shannon and the Shannon region of Ireland are famous for their beauty, but the city bearing the same name is largely overlooked by tourists. Shannon was a 'planned' town, built in the 1960s as a satellite to nearby Limerick. For this reason, the city lacks the old-world charm of many Irish towns. However, Shannon makes a convenient stop on any tour of the country due to its airport, the second largest in Ireland. Because of its location, Shannon is an excellent base for exploring the beautiful County Clare, which includes famous attractions like Bunratty Castle, the Burren Caherconnell Stone Fort, Craggaunowen Castle, the famous Blarney Stone, and Dromoland Castle. Nature lovers will find plenty of spectacular landscapes to explore, including Burren, the Cliffs of Moher, and the beaches of Spanish Point. Shannon is also a good starting point for walking tours of Dingle and the Ring of Kerry, or cruises on the river itself. Dolphin watching is a popular activity from Carrigaholt pier, while Loop Head peninsula is home to a large puffin colony. While the town of Shannon isn't as cosmopolitan as larger cities like Dublin or Galway, it has a good selection of restaurants and bars, and a friendly atmosphere that will make any traveller feel welcome. Key Facts Language: English is the principal language, although a minority of people speak Irish (Gaelic). Passport/Visa: All foreign passengers to Ireland must be able to show proof of sufficient funds to cover their stay in the country. Additionally, passengers should hold return/onward tickets, and the necessary travel documentation for their next destination, as immigration officers might demand that they demonstrate proof of their intention to leave Ireland.

  • Sources of Plants For, and Distribution of Plants From, the Royal Dublin Society’S Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin, 1795–1879: an Annotated Checklist
    NORTHERN IRELAND HERITAGE GARDENS TRUST OCCASIONAL PAPER, No. 7 (2016) Sources of plants for, and distribution of plants from, the Royal Dublin Society’s Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin, 1795–1879: an annotated checklist E. Charles Nelson In The brightest jewel: a history of the National Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin, Dublin (Nelson & McCracken 1987), we accounted briefly for the many sources of plants grown in the Gardens throughout its history. Manuscript registers of plants (including seeds and other propagules) donated to [●], and those distributed from [✧], the Gardens survive especially for the decades following the appointment of Ninian Niven as Curator in 1834. Niven seems to have been the first to make a continuous record of donated and distributed plants – for the period before 1834 records are scattered, scanty and almost certainly very incomplete. In this checklist, the records for Niven’s curatorship (1834–1838) have been combined with those sparse records that have been recovered for the previous three decades, as well as those for David Moore’s curatorship (1838–1879). Moore, like Niven, seems to have taken personal responsibility for keeping a register of donations to and from the Gardens. In terms of the names of the plants, the manuscript registers for the pre-1880 years provide disappointingly little detail. The full names of the plants received or shared were rarely recorded – in the following checklist fewer than 130 species' names are included (and some of these have been inferred from the vernacular names employed), a ratio of one plant name for every seven donors/recipients. In short, the register of donations cannot account for the thousands of plants that were certainly cultivated in the Glasnevin Botanic Gardens between its formation in 1795 and the death of David Moore in June 1879.
