  • Wales-Ireland Travelogue 2009
    WALES AND IRELAND TRIP MAY 12 TO JUNE 4, 2009 What a coincidence! Meaningless, to be sure - but a coincidence, nonetheless. Our trip to the British Isles in 2009 began and ended one day earlier than our trip to Scotland, May 14 to June 5, 2001. (One can only hope that September of this year doesn't hold the same sort of unpleasant surprise that was visited upon us eight years ago.) OK, so I made a "small" error - we are departing two days earlier, not one. And, OK, so it wasn't much of a coincidence, was it? I mean, a real coincidence - one of excruciating consequence - occurred at the Polo Grounds in NYC on October 3, 1951 when Ralph Branca of the Blessed Brooklyn Dodgers was called in to pitch in the 9th inning and, by coincidence, Bobby Thomson of the Bestial New York Giants happened to come to bat, and, by coincidence, Mr. Branca happened to throw a pitch that the aforementioned Mr. Thomson happened to swing at, and, by coincidence, made contact with said pitch and drove it a miserable 309 feet into the first row of the left- field seats of the absurdly apportioned Polo Grounds, thus ending the Dodgers' season and causing a certain 12-year-old, watching on TV, in Brooklyn to burst into tears. Now that was a coincidence! But I digress. Tuesday, May 12 to Wednesday, May 13 Rather than leaving our car at the Seattle Airport Parking Garage (cost for three-plus weeks $468) or at an airport hotel (about $335) we decide to try the new Gig Harbor Taxi (at $95 each way, including tip).

  • Portfolio of Straffan
    Straffan Portfolio ENTENTE FLORALE 2016 Straffan Straffan village is situated in north east Kildare at a particularly low lying point of the Liffey Valley, along the River Liffey and river Morrell. The village name is the anglicised form of the original Irish, Teach Srafáin, which translates as “Church of St. Srafán”, a saint of the early Irish church who resided in the area at the end of the 7th century. The second Irish name of the town, Cluaníní, means “little meadows.” The current form of the village is linked to the Anglo-Norman invasion of the 12th century. Norman leader, Strongbow, granted Straffan to Maurice Fitzgerald, ancestor of the Earls of Desmond and of Kildare. A fortress and stronghold was built in conjunction with the granting of land, as was common practice at the time. Today, Straffan village has a population of over 600 people, with an additional 1700 inhabitants living in the surrounding hinterland. Only 30km from Dublin, Straffan is situated close to the larger towns of Celbridge, Maynooth, Clane and Naas. On the roads entering Straffan you are met with hedgerows, tree lined corridors or stone walls before arriving in a beautifully maintained, village, centred on a pair of crossroads, on which are situated Roman Catholic and Church of Ireland churches. 13th century Barberstown Castle and The K Club, on the grounds of Straffan estate are two luxury accommodation options in the village with historical significance. In recent years, the K Club has also become synonymous with golf in Ireland, hosting the 2006 Ryder Cup, the European Open from 1991 – 2007 and the Irish Open in May 2016.

  • Blue Flags for Lough Derg and Burren Passport
    Blue Flags for Lough Derg and Burren Passport Monday, 9 June 08 An Taisce has awarded the prestigious International Blue Flag to eight of County Clare’s beaches. Mountshannon and Ballycuggeran on Lough Derg retained the Blue Flag status they lost in 2006 due to the presence of algal bloom in the lake while Cappa, Kilkee, White Strand (Miltown Malbay), Lahinch and Fanore have also held on to their Blue Flags. Meanwhile, Clare County Council has expressed its delight that White Strand (Doonbeg) regained its Blue Flag for 2008. Deputy Mayor of Clare, Councillor Brian Meaney, today collected all eight flags at a ceremony in County Louth. Speaking following today's awards ceremony, Cllr Tommy Brennan,Chairof Clare County Council's Environment, Emergency Services and Consumer Protection Strategic Policy Committee said, 'I am delighted that Clare has secured eight Blue Flags this year. I especially welcome the fact that White Strand, Doonbeg regained its Blue Flag Status. This loss in 2007 was not because of inadequate bathing water quality but due to necessary access works at the beach, which Clare County Council has since successfully completed.' Cllr. Brennan indicated that the awarding of Blue Flags to eight Clare beaches was achieved through the hard work of local communities and Local Authority staff. 'Again, it is further proof of what the county can achieve when Clare Local Authorities and members of the public work together', he added. According to Sean Ward, Senior Engineer, Environment & Emergency Services Directorate, "Clare County Council is extremely happy with the eight blue flags achieved, especially the re-awarding of White Strand, Doonbeg, which is a reflection of the positive actions taken by Clare County Council at this beach to improve access." The Blue Flag award is an exclusive eco-label awarded to more than 3,000 beaches and marinas in 28 countries in the Northern Hemisphere each year.

Cork City is a City Rising. Retail units are opening for business in the €50m Capitol retail and office complex. Work has started on the €90 million Navigation House office development on Albert Quay and over the summer, Cork City Council agreed the sale of 7-9 Parnell Place and 1-2 Deane Street to Tetrarch Capital who propose to build a budget boutique hotel and designer hostel with ground floor restaurants and bars. Earlier this year, Boole House was handed over to UCC and also over the summer, the Presentation Sisters opened Nano Nagle Place on Douglas Street. This is all progress. Our strategy at Cork City Council has been to deliver for the Cork region through a revitalised, vibrant city centre – to our mind, the city centre is the ‘healthy heart’ of Cork.
