  • Bibliomara: an Annotated Indexed Bibliography of Cultural and Maritime Heritage Studies of the Coastal Zone in Ireland
    BiblioMara: An annotated indexed bibliography of cultural and maritime heritage studies of the coastal zone in Ireland BiblioMara: Leabharliosta d’ábhar scríofa a bhaineann le cúltúr agus oidhreacht mara na hÉireann (Stage I & II, January 2004) Max Kozachenko1, Helen Rea1, Valerie Cummins1, Clíona O’Carroll2, Pádraig Ó Duinnín3, Jo Good2, David Butler1, Darina Tully3, Éamonn Ó Tuama1, Marie-Annick Desplanques2 & Gearóid Ó Crualaoich 2 1 Coastal and Marine Resources Centre, ERI, UCC 2 Department of Béaloideas, UCC 3 Meitheal Mara, Cork University College Cork Department of Béaloideas Abstract BiblioMara: What is it? BiblioMara is an indexed, annotated bibliography of written material relating to Ireland’s coastal and maritime heritage; that is a list of books, articles, theses and reports with a short account of their content. The index provided at the end of the bibliography allows users to search the bibliography using keywords and authors’ names. The majority of the documents referenced were published after the year 1900. What are ‘written materials relating to Ireland’s coastal heritage’? The BiblioMara bibliography contains material that has been written down which relates to the lives of the people on the coast; today and in the past; their history and language; and the way that the sea has affected their way of life and their imagination. The bibliography attempts to list as many materials as possible that deal with the myriad interactions between people and their maritime surroundings. The island of Ireland and aspects of coastal life are covered, from lobster pot making to the uses of seaweed, from the fate of the Spanish Armada to the future of wave energy, from the sailing schooner fleets of Arklow to the County Down herring girls, from Galway hookers to the songs of Tory Islanders.

  • Lismore Castle Papers Descriptive List Waterford County Archives
    Lismore Castle Papers LISMORE CASTLE PAPERS DESCRIPTIVE LIST WATERFORD COUNTY ARCHIVES IE/WCA/PP/LISM 1 Lismore Castle Papers Repository Repository Name: Waterford County Archives Identity Statement Reference Code: IE WCA PP LISM Titles: Lismore Castle Estate Papers Dates: [1750]-31 December 1969 Level of Description: Fonds Extent: 208 boxes Creator Creators: Lismore Estate, Irish Estates of the Dukes of Devonshire Administrative History: Lismore Castle was the seat of the Dukes of Devonshire in Ireland. William, the 4th Duke of Devonshire (1720-1764) married Lady Charlotte Boyle (1731-1754), heiress of the 3rd Earl of Burlington and through this marriage the Irish estate mainly situated in counties Waterford and Cork became part of the estates of the Dukes of Devonshire. The Irish estates were administered from Lismore Castle, Lismore, County Waterford by agents living and working from Lismore Castle and responsible for all the Irish estates of the Dukes of Devonshire with a sub-agent located in Bandon to administer the lands and properties located in the areas surrounding Bandon in county Cork. The seat of the Dukes of Devonshire is Chatsworth in Derbyshire, England. The Dukes visited Lismore on occasion, in particular, to hunt and fish but were not permanent residents of Lismore Castle. Instead, the estate was administered by agents who were closely supervised by the Dukes of Devonshire through a series of detailed and, in some cases, daily, correspondence. During the period covered by these papers there were a number of holders of the title of Duke of Devonshire who held the Lismore estates. William Cavendish, 5th Duke of Devonshire (1748-1811) who married Lady Georgiana Spencer; William Spencer Cavendish, the 6th Duke (1790-1858), 2 Lismore Castle Papers known as the “Bachelor Duke”, who extensively remodeled Lismore Castle.

  • The Newsletter of the IRISH GARDEN PLANT SOCIETY
    The Newsletter of the IRISH GARDEN PLANT SOCIETY ISSUE NO. 89 APRIL 2003 E d i t o r i a l Dear Fellow Members, Thanks to our regular and new writers we have an excellent range of articles in this issue. I am deeply grateful to all these people and would like to remind you that new contributors are always welcome. Indeed contributions have been so generous for this newsletter that some articles have had to be held back for another issue. Printing and postage costs are hindering expansion of the newsletter despite the committee’s best efforts to overcome these obstacles. Any helpful suggestions would be welcomed. The survey of Irish cultivars is a central activity of the society and I urge you to read and respond to Brendan Sayer’s article promptly. There will be no new series of “Garden Heaven” this year. We will instead have a re- run of some past programmes. R.T.E. is giving rather a poor service to Irish gardeners. Why not let them know that you are not satisfied with this situation. Best wishes and enjoyment to you all in the garden this season and remember to watch out for Irish cultivars for your garden this year.

  • Discover Boyne Valley 2021-2022 Birthplace of Ireland’S Ancient East
    FREE HOLIDAY GUIDE & MAP Discover Boyne Valley 2021-2022 Birthplace of Ireland’s Ancient East discoverboynevalley.ie “The Boyne is not a showy river. It rises in County Kildare and flows gently and majestically through County Meath and joins the sea at Drogheda in County Louth some 112 kilometres later. It has none of the razzmatazz of its sister, the Shannon. It’s neither the longest river in Ireland, nor does it have the greatest flow. What is does have, and by the gallon, is history. In fact, the Boyne Valley is like a time capsule. Travel along it and you travel through millennia of Irish history, from passage tombs that pre-date the Pyramids, to the Hill of Tara, seat of the High Kings of Ireland, all the way to the home of the First World War poet Francis Ledwidge in Slane. It’s the Irish equivalent of Egypt’s Valley of the Kings. And you can choose to explore it by car, bicycle, kayak, or by strolling along its banks and the towpaths of the navigation canals that run alongside from Navan to Oldbridge.” Frances Power - Editor, Cara, the Aer Lingus inflight magazine - Boyne Valley Feature, October/November 2014 Pg 68-78 Cara magazine is available online at issuu.com discoverboynevalley.ie Angling 12 Contents The Boyne River 01 Angling 12 Halloween in the Boyne Valley 25 Discover Boyne Valley Flavours 41 Ireland’s Ancient East 03 Horse Racing 13 Easy Access 26 Eating Out 43 Outdoor Activities 05 Golf 15 Where is the Boyne Valley 27 Gastro Pubs and Bars 46 Royal Canal Greenway 06 Adventures & Activities 17 Boyne Valley Drive 29 Craft Distilling & Brewing 48 Walking, Cycling & Paddling 07 Organised and Guided Tours 19 Boyne Valley Drive Sites 31 Where to Stay 49 Boyne Valley Gardens 09 Music, Arts & Culture 21 Towns & Villages 33 The Coast 11 Crafts 23 Itineraries 37 Photography courtesy of: copterview.ie, tel 086 8672339; jennymatthewsphotography.com, tel 087 2451184; perfectstills.com, tel 086 1740454; and irelandscontentpool.com 01 02 Melifont Abbey Knowth, Brú na Bóinne To tell the story of Ireland’s Ancient East we must start at the beginning..
