Closing Statement and Signing-Off 221 ÆGIS ARCHAEOLOGY LIMITED REF.: 51-6 5 Conservation & Management Plan for Limerick City Walls I. Executive Summary Walled towns are an important feature of the medieval Irish past and have helped to mould the country’s present landscape patterns. There are fifty-six walled towns in Ireland, all with walls in varying states of preservation, with a further thirty-five towns with some evidence of enclosure. As such, walled towns have been part of Irish urban history from its inception and have influenced the country’s society for hundreds of years, up to and including the present day. The important historical monument known as the “Limerick City Walls” has played and remains to play an intrinsic role in the everyday life of Limerick City and its hinterland. The town wall, towers, gates, defences, and other features collectively have become known as the “Limerick City Walls”. This monument (which it should be seen as) is both an important recorded archaeological monument (an element of RMP LI005-017---) and a Protected Structure (RPS various numbers in City Development Plan). As such, the monument Limerick City Walls has legal protection under the National Monuments Acts 1930-2004 and the Planning and Development Acts. The Heritage Act (1995), and The Heritage Council is now furthering this protection and public knowledge of walled towns through the Irish Walled Towns Network (IWTN). At present, while the Limerick City Walls are well known of locally, a sense of the entire element’s monumentality might be considered to be generally lacking, locally, nationally and internationally. There are in fact, thirteen extant stretches of the City Wall of Limerick, all in varying degrees of preservation. As well as these thirteen stretches, the entire circuit of the City Wall is known, many portions of which can be today noted in the street pattern of the modern City. Further portions of the City Wall are known to exist below ground level, through the numerous archaeological investigations that have taken place, over the past twenty-five years or so. Much of the information on the City Walls to date has been fragmentary, with little attempt to consolidate or use it effectively in the conservation of the monument. Limerick City Walls are represented by a variety of remains; portions of extant walls, King John’s Castle (which forms part of the circuit though does not form part of this study), other features such as gates and towers, underground/subsurface portions (which may or may not be partially visible), portions built into later structures, stretches now only represented by photos or early drawings, earthen fosses (or ditches) which have filled over time, or have only been revealed through archaeological investigation and those other parts which only remain as a line on a plan. There are also later manifestations of the defences of the walled city, dating to the seventeenth century, commonly known as the “the siege” period, little of which is now evident above the ground, but for which there is much documentary and cartographic evidence. This is an important phase in the “biography” of the city walls and defences. ÆGIS ARCHAEOLOGY LIMITED REF.: 51-6 6 Conservation & Management Plan for Limerick City Walls Due to these different representations of the monument Limerick City Walls, on the ground today, which was once a single entity (and was expanded to enclose a growing medieval English town), it is very important to restore its integrity by reconnecting the various parts into a coherent whole (this connection could be “symbolic” or “intellectual” rather than actual in a number of locations). This is certainly not to say that the wall should be reconstructed in its entirety, as this is not the purpose of a Conservation and Management Plan and would be in fact be an exercise in pastiche and modern fabrication. Rather, this Conservation and Management Plan Proposal will show how all the manifestations of Limerick City Walls can be re-incorporated in order to provide a total image or “brand” for the monument, in order to be a future source of both Civic and National Pride. With the affiliation of Limerick City to the Irish Walled Towns of Ireland Network (IWTN) and the undertaking of this Conservation and Management Plan, positive efforts are now being made to address the lack of effectiveness in the continued protection of Limerick City Walls. It is correct and timely therefore that a Conservation and Management Plan be developed to retain, conserve, and improve the fabric and integrity of the monument Limerick City Walls as an excellent example of an Irish walled town in association with all interested parties; Limerick City Council, The Heritage Council, locals of Limerick and the landowners, in whose property portions of the monument rests. Not only are Limerick City Walls a substantial archaeological monument, rich in archaeological and historical information, stretches of the wall are also Protected Structures. The City Walls has moulded Limerick’s development since its origins and has thus become a symbol for the city itself and if managed correctly might become a popular “brand” for Limerick on a number of levels.

  • Focus on Limerick • Limerick City Gallery of Art ______
    Focus On Limerick • Limerick City Gallery of Art _________________________________________________________________ 12th November 2008 Announcing Two Major Limerick Group Exhibitions Seeing Georgian Limerick and Presence 08 for the Winter Season. Seeing Georgian Limerick, a beautiful photographic exhibition of Georgian Limerick celebrates the City while Presence 08 celebrates the wealth of Limerick’s artistic talent. _____________________________________________________________________ 1. Exhibition Opening: Seeing Georgian Limerick Kieran CLANCY Sean LYNCH Eamonn O’MAHONY Deirdre POWER 27th Nov – 4th Jan 2009 Limerick City Gallery of Art in association with Limerick Chapter of the Irish Georgian Society is delighted to announce Seeing Georgian Limerick, a jointly commissioned exhibition to commemorate 50 years of the Irish Georgian Society. Four artists Kieran Clancy, Sean Lynch, Eamonn O’Mahony, Deirdre Power have been invited to photograph Georgian Limerick. The historic and commercial centre of Limerick, the Georgian new town is extremely familiar, although many of the buildings are underused and have been allowed to decay. The exhibition celebrates the architectural character and the historic importance of the townscape, which are often not fully recognized. To ask the four artists to photograph what they see in Georgian Limerick was an invitation to reveal what has been hidden by familiarity and neglect; architectural coherence, moments of monumentality. Images can show what is normally unseen; the richness of the interior decoration, the life of the lanes. Taken from oblique perspectives the photographs have the potential to uncover an unfamiliar Georgian Limerick. With the power of photography to focus attention and even to transform the ordinary and taken-for-granted it is hoped that the exhibition will help to define the character and value of Georgian Limerick.

  • Still Life With-Press 09-04-10
    Still life with... / Cleary & Connolly / LCGA / MIC / Hunt Museum / AIB Prize 2009 Press Release For immediate release Contact: Pippa Little, LCGA [email protected] 061 310633 Opening at the Hunt Museum, 3 June 2010. Exhibition from 4 June - 11 July 2010. http://www.connolly-cleary.com/Home/still_life_with http://www.gallery.limerick.ie The project is inspired by Patrick Hennessy’s magnificent Still life painting from the permanent collection of Limerick City Gallery of Art. Still life with... reconstructs the original Still life as a 3 dimensional set, inviting you to step right into the painting. It provides a meeting place for pixels and pigments, for moving and fixed images, for shimmering light and hard matter, for young and old. Depending on the visitor’s reaction, the exhibition can be a drawing exercise, a performance, a dialogue between old and new, a reflection on pictorial space... or simply a game. Still life with... / Cleary & Connolly / LCGA / MIC / Hunt Museum / AIB Prize 2009 In Ireland, we have a theatrical culture that allows us to imagine what is behind the scenes, but if I were to ask you what is behind the picture, you might be forgiven for replying ‘the wall!’ ‘Pictorial space’ is not in our everyday language. All the more reason to explore it. Still life with… offers us a walk through an imagined space behind the picture plane. Like Alice through the Looking Glass, the work invites the spectator to step through the frame into that imaginary space behind the painting. It makes a bridge between old media - painting and sculpture - and new media - computers, video and digital printing.

York has a long turbulent period of history and, as King Edward VI said, “The history of York is the history of England”. This report will start with a brief history of York, which inevitably be related to persons, events and places we came across during this medieval tour. The report will also describe three attractions in York, viz., York Minster and its stained glass, Helmsley Castle and Rievaulx Abbey. 1 York's history The most important building in York is the York Minster, where in front of the main entrance, we found a statue of Constantine (photo 1). It reflects the height of Roman’s powers that conquered the Celtic tribes and founded Eboracum in this city; from here, the history of York started. 1.1 Roman York During our journey in the southern coast of England, Father Ha introduced to us the spots where the Roman first landed in Britain.

In particular, it focuses on the major employment areas within the region and assesses these areas in terms of key features and infrastructure, agency supported employment, public sector employment and other employment. Major Employment Areas Table 1.1 below highlights the numbers employed in the major employment areas (areas with over 1,500 employees) in the Mid West Region. There are also a number of other key employment areas in the region that have over 500 employees but less than 1,500 employees. They have been grouped together under ‘ key employment clusters’ for the purposes of Table . The last available figures for the numbers employed per area are CSO (POWCAR) 2006 figures.

The Physical Programme is at this stage indicative only and very much a ‘work in progress’. The details of the various projects proposed will need to be flexible and in a position to respond to the changes that occur within the fluid environment which they operate. From a land-use and planning perspective, matters are changing on a regular basis, for example the Regional Planning Guidelines are due for review shortly as are some of the relevant local authority Delmege Estate Development Plans. In addition the changing economic and social circumstances of the country may have some implications for population growth and development options which may in turn impact on the approaches taken with regard to Regional Development. Therefore as we move forward this Regeneration Programme must continue to complement the strategies and different elements of the various National, Regional and local levels as outlined in table 1 (page 19). 5.1.1.1 Introduction Moyross Chapter 3 set out the Social Regeneration element of this programme and Chapter 4 has dealt with the economic proposals to underpin these. This Physical Programme deals with the buildings, spaces and environment in which these programmes will be grounded and on which they depend to achieve the transformation of Moyross.
