Upon arrival at Dublin airport, collect your luggage and proceed to the arrivals hall, where your Europe Express representative will be there to greet you and escort you to your hotel by private vehicle. Dublin City Tour This afternoon we board our coach and commence on a half-day guided tour of Dublin’s Fair City. Along the way, we’ll see major sights such as Trinity College, Temple Bar, the National Library, Govern- ment Buildings and much more. We’ll pass St. Patrick’s Cathedral, O’Connell Street, Christchurch Cathedral, and the Bank of Ireland, which is formerly the Irish House of Parliament. If you keep a close eye on the road, you may even spot Molly Malone wheeling her wheelbarrow! Our tour concludes with a visit to the Guinness Store- house where you can view the brewing process then enjoy a pint in the roof top Gravity bar. This evening we gather together for dinner at a local restaurant. Overnight - Cassidys Hotel, Busswells Hotel or similar Meals - Dinner Day 3: Cashel & Cork This morning after breakfast we depart Dublin for County Cork, exploring en-route. Cashel Our route will bring us south to Cashel where we’ll stop for the Rock of Cashel, once home to the High Kings of Munster. The Rock, one of the most spectacular archeological sites in Ireland, sits on the out- skirts of Cashel on a large mound of limestone bristling with ancient fortifications. Mighty stone walls encircle a complete round tower, a roofless abbey, a 12th century Romanesque chapel, and numerous other buildings and high crosses. Next we visit nearby Dundrum House. Set on 200 acres of grounds, the 18th century Dundrum House has a rich history, originally the center of a fine estate owned by a famous Irish family named the O’Dwyers of Kilnamanagh. We’ll have a site inspection and enjoy lunch at this golf and leisure resort. Cork Afterwards, we drive west to Cork city, where we have a panoramic tour of the city’s highlights. Cork is Ireland’s second largest city and is the principal commercial and banking center in the south of the country. The city began on an island in the swampy estuary of the River Lee and gradually climbed up the steep banks on either side. Along the way see St. Fin Barre’s Cathedral, the Old Courthouse, City Hall and the renowned Bells of Shandon before arriving at our hotel on the city’s outskirts, where we check in and enjoy a group dinner.

Rich with mountain and lake scenery and situated on the Ring of Kerry scenic drive, Killarney is famous for its National Park, Jaunting Car Rides (traditional horse & buggy rides), its pubs, and much more. We will do some touring to get a feel for this beautiful town, and enjoy lunch and a site inspection. Foynes Our journey then takes us north to Foynes, where we visit the Foynes Flying Museum. From 1939 to 1945 Foynes, County Limerick, was the center of the aviation world. The port of Foynes was the fulcrum point for air traffic between the US and Europe. The famous flying boats were frequent visitors, carrying a diverse range of people, from celebrities to refugees. Travel back in time in the authentic 1940s cinema while watching original footage from the days of the Flying Boats. Sample an Irish coffee where Chef Joe Sheridan made the first Irish Coffee to warm up some damp misera- ble passengers in 1942. Adare We continue east to the charming and old-world village of Adare, widely-regarded as Ireland’s most picturesque village with its thatched cottages and gentle ruins.

This afternoon, we visit King John’s Castle, which lies at the very heart of Limerick’s medieval core. The River Shannon and King John’s Castle live side by side, a little above Curraghour Falls at Thomond Bridge. This majestic river, the longest in Ireland and Britain opens its tidal waters to welcome the international fleets of the world, just as it has done for mariners of countless years. You won’t fail to be impressed by the castles massive gate-towers and drum comer towers. Wander across the castle battlements and learn of the castle’s history though the interactive exhibits. King John’s Castle remains a most impressive Anglo-Norman fortification, even after 800 years. Bunratty This evening, we depart our hotel for a Medieval Banquet at Bunratty Castle. Turn back the clock as you feast on fine food, drink rich mead and wine, and enjoy the lore and music of Ireland, per- formed by the enchanting Ladies of the Castle, to the strains of the harp and violin. Overnight - Fitzgerald’s Woodlands House Hotel or similar Meals - Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner Day 5: County Offaly & Dublin County Offaly This morning after breakfast, we leave behind the Adare area en-route to Dublin. Our drive takes us east near the center of Ireland, through County Offaly which is known for its castles, abbeys and heritage centers. The heathery Slieve Bloom Mountains, in the southeast of Offaly, boast open moors and hidden valleys just wait- ing to be explored. The River Shannon separates Offaly from Galway and Roscommon in the west of the county. Tullamore, the principal town of the county, is home of the famous Tullamore Dew whisky, where we stop at the visitor center for a tour and tasting. Dublin After lunch we arrive in Dublin.

  • Title of Project: Andrew Gallagher: Remembering a Forgotten Soldier in the Irish Fight for Freedom
    Title of Project: Andrew Gallagher: Remembering a Forgotten Soldier in the Irish Fight for Freedom Category: ‘Decade of Centenaries’ – A Study of an Individual Name: Eimear Gallagher Roll No.: 65620V School Address: Sacred Heart School, Daingean Road, Tullamore, Co. Offaly Teacher: Orla Keane Contact No.: 057 93 21747 Contact E-mail: [email protected] Andrew Gallagher: Remembering a Forgotten Soldier in the Irish Fight for Freedom Foreword Andrew Gallagher was my great granduncle and lived in the house which my grandparents live in today in Tullamore, Co. Offaly. I had always been aware that Andrew had been involved in some way in the Offaly IRA during the establishment of the state but to what extent and the details of his involvement were unknown to me. My real interest in Andrew, or Andy as he was more commonly known, was ignited when I carried out a family genealogy project and discovered that his papers relating to this period, a Mauser c96 pistol and an RIC sword were all still in my grandparents house. Andrew Gallagher in his National Army, or Irish Free State Army, uniform The Mauser Pistol and RIC sword that are in my grandparent’s house As part of that project I gained a brief knowledge of Andy’s life during the period 1920-1922 and also discovered that his brother, Joseph had been interned in Ballykinlar Prison camp during the same period and was released after the Anglo-Irish Treaty 1921. His arrest was noted in the King’s County Chronicle on Thursday 30th December 1930. Joseph Gallagher (first row, second from right) Ballykinlar 1920 Like so many others, Andy is an almost forgotten soldier in the Irish fight for independence and in this project I tried to carry out more extensive research to find out exactly when Andy became involved with the Irish Volunteers, the role he played and the details of his actions during this period.
