  • Irregulars: Tales of Republican Dissonance
    The Sixties, very roughly the period between the end of the 1956 – 62 Campaign (waged by the IRA and Saor Ulaidh) and the intensification of the Provisionals’ War in Northern Ireland in the early seventies, was an irregular period in Irish political life. This irregular period was, irregularly, a time when all the categories of Irish politics, from the nation to the polity, from Hibernianism to Republicanism, from Socialism to Unionism were actively thought about and fought over, in the streets and the pubs of Ireland, and in the dreams of Irishmen and Irishwomen. That is the background to the stories contained in this book, which attempt to show how the irregularity of those times was answered in the name of the poor and the powerless and the rights of the people of Ireland by a group of men of no property and no name, or of many names:—the IRREGULARS.

  • THE K CLUB Experience the Highest Standards of Luxury
    THE K CLUB Experience the highest standards of luxury he origins of Straffan House go back to the year 550 A.D. After Tthe Anglo – Norman invasion of Ireland, Straffan was granted by Strongbow to Maurice Fitzgerald, whose eldest son passed it to his younger brother General, an ancestor of the Dukes of Leinster. This grant was subsequently confirmed by Richard the Lionheart’s brother, who later became King John of England and signed the Magna Carta in 1066. Ownership of the property was held by prominent titled families. In the 16th century the lands were forfeited by the De Penkiston family when they were implicated in a rebellion. The lands were disposed of to the Gaydon family in the early 17th Century and, in Cromwellian times, were forfeited again and granted to Thomas Bewley. The Gaydon family, declared innocent of the charges by which the property was seized from them, were eventually granted back the 700 acres, which they later sold to Richard Talbot in 1679 for the sum of £700. In 1831 the property was purchased by Hugh Barton, who had extensive vineyards in France. Barton, forced out of France during the infamous Reign of Terror, ploughed his fortune into Straffan House and other lands in Ireland. The house remained in the Barton family until 1949, it was purchased by the Smurfit Group in 1988 and opened as a hotel in July 1991. LOCATION From Dublin City Centre on the N7 going South, 27 kms. 30 minutes driving, or from Dublin Airport, 37kms. 30 minutes driving time. GRADING The recent winner of Ireland’s AA Hotel of The Year, The K Club has also been awarded AA 5 Red Star status since its opening in 1991.
