The park borders Kavanagh Court Student Accommodation to the north and the Rutland National School to the east (ITM 716121, 735121). Project proposals Diamond Park has been identified as a priority refurbishment project to improve the quality and experience of the public realm for the local community in the North Inner City. This report is intended to inform the design of that project. 2 Section 2 Archaeological Background Record of Monuments & Places frequent discoveries of bones, swords and spears when foundations were being dug on Six Recorded Monuments, including historic North Great George’s Street, Summerhill, Dublin itself, are listed in the Record of Monu- Gardiner’s Row and Mountjoy Square as evid- ments and Places (RMP) close to Diamond ence that the Battle of Clontarf was fought Park.

  • O'connell Street Architectural Conservation Area
    Executive Summary O’Connell Street Architectural Conservation Area On July 9th 2001, the O’Connell Street area as indicated on the attached map and in accordance with the attached plan was designated an Architectural Conservation Area, following the adoption of a variation to the Dublin City Development Plan 1999 by Dublin City Council. Extent of Area The boundaries of the area are defined as follows: to the north of the river the area is centred on O’Connell Street, extending to Marlborough Street to the east, Moore Street to the west, Parnell Street to the north and the River Liffey to the south. To the south of the river, the area is centred on Westmoreland Street and D’Olier Street, extending to College Street to the south, Hawkins Street to the east and to rear of buildings fronting onto Westmoreland Street to the west. The exact boundaries of the proposed Architectural Conservation Area are delineated on the map entitled ‘Proposed O’Connell Street Architectural Conservation Area’. Explanation In the Dublin context, the O’ Connell Street area is of major architectural, historical, cultural, artistic and social importance. It constitutes a distinct quarter of the city that was formally planned, laid out and developed between the 1740’s and the early 1800’s. This architecturally distinguished area has a simple but elegant plan - terraced buildings lining the streets, usually four to five storeys in height, with the lines and 1 rhythm of the facades lending an overall coherence. Occasionally, these terraces are interrupted by a landmark building that confers a special quality or image onto individual streets.

  • The Black and Tans: British Police in the First Irish War, 1920-21
    THE BLACK AND TANS THE BLACK AND TANS: BRITISH POLICE IN THE FIRST IRISH WAR, 1920-21 By DAVID LEESON, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies In Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University ©Copyright by David Leeson, August 2003 11 DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY McMaster University (History) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: The Black and Tans: British Police in the First Irish War, 1920-21 AUTHOR: David Leeson, B.A., M.A. SUPERVISOR: Professor R. A. Rempel NUMBER OF PAGES: 264 lll ABSTRACT Over ten thousand Britons fought as police in the First Irish War ( 1920-21 ). Most of these British police were ex-soldiers, veterans of the Great War and members of the Royal Irish Constabulary (RfC), called 'Black and Tans' for their mixed uniforms of dark police green and military khaki. Ex-officers joined a separate force, the Auxiliary Division (ADRIC), a special emergency gendarmerie, heavily armed and organized in military-style companies. Pitted against the guerrillas of the Irish Republican Army (IRA), the Black and Tans and Auxiliaries took many 'reprisals', assassinating Irish republicans and burning their homes and shops. As a consequence, their name became a byword for crime and violence, and the spectre of 'black-and-tannery' has haunted Ireland ever since. This dissertation uses evidence from both British and Irish archives and from British newspapers to study the British police and their behaviour in the First Irish War. According to legend the Black and Tans and Auxiliaries were ex-convicts and psychopaths, hardened by prison and crazed by war.
