Navan Town Hall

Navan Town Hall (Irish: Halla Baile na hUaimhe) is a municipal building in Abbey Road, Navan, County Meath, Ireland. The building, which was commissioned to serve as the local bridewell, became the police barracks, and later became the local seat of government. History The first public building in the town was the old courthouse in Ludlow Street which was designed and built by Edward Manning and completed in 1632. After an increase in the transient population of the town, especially on market days, in the early 19th century, followed by severe economic recession in the wake of the Napoleonic Wars, there was a significant increase in the number of civil disturbances in the town. In response civic leaders decided to commission a local bridewell. The new building was designed by John Hargrave in the Greek Revival style, built in rubble masonry with ashlar stone dressings, and was completed in 1831. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of five bays facing onto Abbey Road. The central bay, which was slightly projected forward, featured a porch on the ground floor and a Diocletian window on the first floor with a pediment above. The outer bays were fenestrated by sash windows with architraves on both floors. On the southeast side, there was a single-bay, two-storey wing which was projected outwards. The building was transferred to the management of the Royal Irish Constabulary as a police barracks in accordance with the provisions of the General Prisons (Ireland) Act 1877. It was then handed over to the Garda Síochána in anticipation of the formation of the Irish Free State in 1922, and subsequently continued to operate as a police barracks until the police service moved to a new police station further west along Abbey Road in 1978. After the building was acquired by Navan Urban District Council in 1983, the council commissioned an extensive programme of refurbishment works before moving into the building. The town stocks were relocated from the courthouse to the town hall at that time. The building continued to be used as the offices of the urban district council until 2002, and subsequently as the offices of the successor town council. However, it ceased to be the local seat of government in 2014, when the council was dissolved and administration of the town was amalgamated with Meath County Council in accordance with the Local Government Reform Act 2014. A war memorial commemorating the lives of local service personnel who died in the First World War was unveiled in front of the town hall in 2018. References
Tullamore Town Hall

Tullamore Town Hall (Irish: Halla an Bhaile Tulach Mhór), is a municipal building in Cormac Street, Tullamore, County Offaly, Ireland. The building currently accommodates the local offices of Offaly County Council. History The building was commissioned as a private residence by a local developer, Captain Thomas Acres, who also served as an officer in the Tullamore Yeomanry Corps. The site he selected, which was at the junction of the three principal roads in the town, was acquired from the lord of the manor, Charles Bury, 1st Earl of Charleville, whose seat was at Charleville Castle. The building was designed in the neoclassical style, built in coursed limestone and was completed in 1786. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of five bays facing onto Cormac Street. The central bay contained a doorway with a fanlight, an architrave, and a lantern. The other bays on the ground floor and all the bays on the first floor were fenestrated by square-headed sash windows with window sills. There was a cornice and a pitched slate roof above. Acres named his new house "Acres Hall" and went on to commission a folly, a two-storey tower with an under croft, in the garden of his house, to celebrate the British victory in the Peninsular War. After Acres died in 1836, the building passed down the Acres Family and, by marriage, down the Pierce family, until it was acquired by Patrick Eagan, the proprietor of P. & H. Egan, maltsters, in around 1890. It then passed down the Egan family until the 1980s. Tullamore Urban District council, established under the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898, in 1899, was based in an office in Tullamore Courthouse until 1974, when it relocated to a building in O'Connor Square which it shared with the County Library and the County Motor Tax Office. After finding this arrangement unsatisfactory, the urban district council acquired Acres House in the 1980s. The building was converted for municipal use at a cost of £450,000, and then re-opened by the Minister for Labour, Brian Cowen, as Tullamore Town Hall on 22 June 1992. The building continued to be used as the offices of the urban district council until 2002, and then as the offices of the successor town council. In November 2013, Father Michael Kelly, who was known for his education work in relation to the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Zambia, attended the town hall to receive a civic award for his work. In 2014, the council was dissolved and administration of the town was amalgamated with Offaly County Council in accordance with the Local Government Reform Act 2014.

Templemore Town Hall

Templemore Town Hall (Irish: Halla an Bhaile An Teampall Mór), is a municipal building in Main Street, Templemore, County Tipperary, Ireland. As of May 2023, it was being converted into a library and enterprise and cultural centre. History The building was financed using public subscription by the tenants of Sir John Craven Carden, 1st Baronet and commissioned as a market house in the early 19th century. The site selected was the traditional venue for holding markets in the middle of Main Street. It was designed in the neoclassical style, built in ashlar stone and was completed in 1816. The design involved a rectangular building with two main frontages of seven bays each facing onto the northwest and southeast sides of Main Street. It featured segmental headed openings with architraves and keystones on the ground floor and segmental headed windows with voussoirs on the first floor. It was gabled at both ends with an external staircase at the southwest gable end. The northeast gable end contained a rounded headed opening with iron gates and voussoirs on the ground floor and a blind window with a window sill and voussoirs on the first floor. The outer bays of the northeast gable end were fenestrated by small windows on both floors. The corners of the building were decorated with quoins and, at roof level, with finials. The building was altered to accommodate the offices of the newly-formed town commissioners in the mid-19th century, and it became the offices and meeting place of Templemore Urban District Council when it was formed in 1900. Following the killing of Police District Inspector William Haring Wilson by the Irish Republican Army on 16 August 1920, soldiers of the Northamptonshire Regiment set fire to the town hall in a reprisal attack. Lieutenant Colonel Sydney Herbert Beattie and Lance Corporal Herbert John Fuggle of the Northampton Regiment was killed in ensuing conflagration. The building was repaired and the central five bays widened, to a design by Thomas Francis McNamara, in 1927. Following the closure of McCan Barracks in the early 1960s, two QF 4.5-inch howitzers were retained and subsequently moved outside the southwest end of the town hall. The building continued to be used as the offices of the urban district council until 2002, and then as the offices of the successor town council. The building ceased to be the local seat of government in 2014, when the council was dissolved and administration of the town was amalgamated with Tipperary County Council in accordance with the Local Government Reform Act 2014. An extensive programme of works, involving the conversion of the building into a library and enterprise and cultural centre and the construction of a new civic plaza, started on site in May 2023. The work, which was financed by the Department of Rural and Community Development and Tipperary County Council, was being carried out by Leetherm Construction at a cost of €4 million to a design by EML Architects.

Roscam

Roscam is a medieval ecclesiastical site and National Monument located in Galway, Ireland. Location Roscam is located 4 km (2.5 mi) east of the Galway city centre, immediately north of Oranmore Bay. It is just to the south of the Galway neighbourhood of Roscam, which takes its name from the site. History Roscam stands on the site of a very early (5th century) monastery, with legend linking it to Saint Patrick. It was also associated with Odran, a brother of Ciarán of Clonmacnoise (6th century). The 6th-century Saint Aedus (Aidus) transferred the bones of Brión mac Echach Muigmedóin to Roscam. It was attacked by Vikings in AD 807. The round tower is dated to the 11th century and appears to have never been completed. The ruined tower once marked the limit of O'Halloran (Ó hAllmhuráin, Clann Fhearghaile) territory. The church was built in the 15th century. Roscam is said to have been used as a duelling site in the medieval era; at the time, it was well outside of what was then the city of Galway and was easily accessible by boat. Ruins and monuments There is a limestone round tower (11 m (36 ft) tall), bullauns and a church 22 m (72 ft) in length. The whole site is surrounded by a large enclosure. References
