His father was an ex-RIC man from Glandore in West Cork and his mother was a teacher who came from a family with a very strong teaching tradition. Dan Donovan went to school in Presentation College in Cork, and later taught there. In first recording, Dan speaks about his involvement with the Irish Dramatic Society, about joining the LDF during the Emergency period and organising the production of plays in the school each year with the students. He fondly recalls Dermot Breen and the growth of the Drama Festival from the 1940s onwards which evolved into the Everyman Theatre.

  • Chapter 4: Human Beings
    Lower Lee (Cork City) Drainage Scheme in association with Chapter 4: Human Beings Environmental Impact Statement Lower Lee (Cork City) Drainage Scheme in association with 4. HUMAN BEINGS 4.1 Introduction This section of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) describes the potential impacts of the proposed development on human beings and has been completed in accordance with the guidance set out by the Environmental Protection Agency in ‘Guidelines on Information to be contained in Environmental Impact Statements’ (EPA, 2000). One of the principle concerns in the development process is that people, as individuals or communities, should experience no diminution in their quality of life from the direct or indirect impacts arising from the construction and operation of a development. Ultimately, all the impacts of a development impinge on human beings, directly and indirectly, positively and negatively. The key issues examined in this section of the EIS include population, employment and economic activity, land-use, residential amenity, community facilities and services, tourism, and health and safety. Reference is also made, in this chapter, to nuisance impacts on human beings that are dealt with in other sections of this EIS such as flooding from Chapter 7 - Hydrology and Hydrogeology; dust and noise from Chapter 8 - Air and Climate; and traffic from Chapter 11 - Material Assets. 4.2 Receiving Environment 4.2.1 Methodology The following sources of information and literature pertinent to the area were used in the preparation of this section: . Central Statistics Office (CSO), . Cork City Development Plan 2015 – 2021, . North Docks Local Area Plan 2005, . South Docks Local Area Plan 2008, .

  • Down the Lee and up the Sabhrann
    CORKUMNAVIGATION A Guide to circumnavigating Cork City 2nd Edition, Published March 2016 Addendum: Commentary written by the late Cian Ó Sé CORKUMNAVIGATION: Down the Lee and up the Sabhrann It was said that the city of Cork was built on a series of 13 islands. The channels between all these islands have all been arched over or filled-in in various ways over the centuries, so that only two remain open : the river Lee (North Channel) on the north, and the river Sabhrann (South Channel) on the south. It is possible to navigate both those rivers, but only in very small boats or kajaks, and even then, one has to keep a close eye on the tide. It has to be low enough to go under all the bridges, and yet high enough to clear all the weirs. The main river derives its name from the Irish "Laoi", a word meaning torrent or flood. We have been recently reminded as to how appropriate the word is. Sudden flooding has always been a particular characteristic of the Lee, or "Flood River". It was only controlled in recent generations by the construction of the hydro-electric dams at Scórnach (lit. "the canyon") and Carraig a'Droichid. However, flood-control is an art - which seems to have been lost with the passing years ! Man has been trying to control the river for centuries. One of the earliest references to works on the river comes from the Popes Decretal (taxation-list) of 1199. In it is mentioned the "Clochán". This is derived from "cloch" meaning stone, so this refers to the stone-structure or weir at the Waterworks I, the highest point to which tides go (at present.

  • Made in Cork: Cork Arts & Crafts
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Press Release: Thursday 1 September, 2016 Made in Cork: The Arts and Crafts Movement 1885 -1925 November 18, 2016 – February 25, 2017 Preview: 5:30 pm, Thursday 17 November, 2016 Crawford Art Gallery, Cork is delighted to present the exhibition, Made in Cork: The Arts and Crafts Movement 1885 -1925 from November 18, 2016 – February 25, 2017 guest curated by Vera Ryan in collaboration with the gallery. This fresh perspective on the Irish Arts and Crafts movement brings together key artists including James Archer, Michael J. McNamara, Joseph Higgins and the lesser known Annie Crooke and Kathleen Murphy O’Connor. William Morris (d.1896) and Walter Crane (d.1915), leaders of the Arts and Crafts movement in England were socialists. However, when the Arts and Crafts Society of Ireland was founded in 1894 its aims were broadly patriotic. It hoped to stimulate the production of arts and crafts in Ireland, dispelling the traditional hierarchies between fine and applied art, by making the craftsperson "less of a machine producing many objects from one pattern" and more of an individual working from original design through exhibitions, lectures, publications etc. Many ideals of Morris and Crane were espoused by James Brenan, headmaster of the Cork School of Art (from 1860-1889) before the Arts and Crafts Society of Ireland was created. Brenan worked at the Great Exhibition in London in 1851 and saw the prevailing theory of the application of Art to Industry in a positive light. The magnificent extension to the Cork School of Art, built in 1884, with £20,000 donated by local businessman WH Crawford provided the city with the finest art school in the country and the means to excel at woodcarving and lace-making amongst other applied arts.
