Tyrone House

Tyrone House in County Galway is a ruined manor house, built in the 1770s on a promontory by the estuary of the Kilcolgan river, about 2 miles (3 km) from the village of Kilcolgan, County Galway, Ireland. The house was destroyed by the local Irish Republican Army (IRA) unit during the Irish War of Independence. History Tyrone House, County Galway, was built in 1779. It should not be confused with Tyrone House, Marlborough Street, Dublin, a townhouse designed by Richard Cassels for The 1st Earl of Tyrone of the 3rd creation in 1740. Writing in the 1780s, Daniel Augustus Beaufort described the house as '‘large and new but very bleak and too high'. Its original owner was Christopher St. George, scion of an old Norman Galwegian family. The house was reputedly designed by John Roberts (1712/14–1796) of Waterford, who also designed Moore Hall in County Mayo in a similar style. The St. George family at the time owned much of the area around Kilcolgan. Arthur French St. George was described as a resident proprietor in 1824. In 1912, Tyrone House was described as "rather dilapidated" by visitor Violet Martin. It served as an inspiration for the novel "The Big House at Inver" by Edith Somerville, published in 1925. The house was destroyed by the local IRA unit during the Irish War of Independence in 1920 due to rumours that it was going to be used by the Black and Tans as an infirmary. The house was uninhabited at the time, except for a bed-bound caretaker who was taken from the house in his bed and left in another building on the premises before the main house was set alight.

Tyrrellspass Castle

Tyrrellspass Castle (irisch Caisleán Bhealach an Tirialaigh), das auf die Zeit um 1411 zurückgeht, ist ein Tower House südwestlich des Dorfes Tyrrellspass im irischen County Westmeath. Es ist die einzig verbliebene Burg der Tyrrells, die in der Zeit der anglonormannischen Invasion nach Irland kamen. Beschreibung Die Niederungsburg ist etwa 20 Meter hoch und folgt dem üblichen Muster eines Tower House, das aus Stein gebaut wurde, vorwiegend Verteidigungszwecke erfüllte und aus einer Reihe übereinander angeordneter Räume besteht. Die originale Wendeltreppe und einen der ursprünglichen Dachbalken aus dem Jahr 1290 kann man heute noch sehen. Dieser herausgestellte Dachbalken liegt in einem Teil des Restaurants namens Lounge. Am Eingang befindet sich ein „Mörderloch“, durch das Eindringlinge angegriffen werden konnten. Geschichte Tyrrellspass ist der moderne Name von Fartullagh (irisch Fir Thulach), wo 1597 Captain Richard Tyrrell, ein Hauptalliierter von Aodh Mór Ó Néill, 2. Earl of Tyrone, im neunjährigen Krieg, in der sogenannten Schlacht von Tyrrellspass einen Sieg gegen die Truppen der englischen Krone errang. Während der Rückeroberung Irlands 1650 sollen die Bewohner der Burg sehr gelitten haben und viele wurden hingerichtet. Bald danach erwarb die Familie Rochfort, die später zu Earls of Belvedere erhoben wurde, die Burg. 1796 verpachtete der 2. Earl die Burg als Kaserne an die Armee. 1850 wurde Charles Brinsley Marley, der Enkel der Tochter des 1. Earls, Eigentümer. Danach fiel das Anwesen an Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Howard-Bury, den Entdecker. Er verkaufte später die Häuser auf dem Anwesen. Nach einer ereignisreichen Geschichte von Überfällen wurde die Burg in den 1970er-Jahren von Phillip Ginnell umfassend restauriert. Heute In den frühen 1990er-Jahren wurde das Gebäude in ein modernes Restaurant umgewandelt. Heute wird es unter dem Namen Tyrrellspass Castle Restaurant betrieben. Dort finden auch mittelalterliche Banketts statt. Einzelnachweise Weblinks Dining out at Westmeath County in Ireland. Westmeath Independent Travel Guide.
Tyrrellspass Castle

Tyrrellspass Castle is a medieval castle in Tyrrellspass, County Westmeath, Ireland. Dating back to circa 1411, it is the only remaining castle of the Tyrrells who came to Ireland around the time of the Norman Invasion. Architecture The castle is approximately 20 metres high and follows the general pattern of tower houses: stone-built, essentially defensive and comprising a series of superimposed chambers. The original spiral staircase and one of the original roof beams dating from 1280 can still be seen today as an exposed beam in 'the lounge' restaurant. Alongside the entrance door is a murder-hole through which intruders could be attacked. History Tyrrellspass is the modern name for Fartullagh, where in 1597 Captain Richard Tyrrell, a chief ally of Hugh O'Neill in the Nine Years' War, won a major victory against English crown forces in what has become known as the Battle of Tyrrellspass. During the Cromwellian invasion of 1650, it is said the castle occupants suffered a great deal and many were executed. The castle and surrounding land was acquired soon after by the Rochfort family, who became the Earls of Belvedere. In 1796 the 2nd earl leased the castle to the army as a barracks. In 1850, ownership passed to Charles Brinsley Marlay, grandson of the 1st earl's only daughter, after whom it passed to Lieut.-Colonel Charles Howard-Bury, the explorer. He sold off the houses on the estate. After a tumultuous history of intrusion, the castle was extensively restored by Mullingar architect Philip Ginnell in the 1970s and became his family residence. Today During the early 1990s, the building was converted into a modern restaurant. Today it operates under the name Tyrrellspass Castle Restaurant. It also hosts medieval banquets.

Замок Тіреллспасс

Замок Тіррелспасс (англ. Tyrrellspass Castle) — один із замків Ірландії, розташований в графстві Західний Міт, стоїть біля одноіменного селища Тіррелспасс. Замок побудований в норманському стилі. Завершення будівництва датується 1411 роком. До цього тут був більш давній замок, але про нього майже нічого не відомо. Це єдиний замок феодалів родини Тіррелл, який зберігся до нашого часу. Історія замку Тіррелспасс Замок висотою біля 20 метрів, має вежу та інші кам'яні споруди. Замок був побудований для оборони, містить низку сполучених приміщень. Збереглись гвинтові сходи та балки стелі, що датуються 1280 роком. Збереглися бійниці, та інші пристосування необхідні для оборони. Давня назва цих місць і цього замку Фартуллах. Тут в 1597 році капітан Річард Тіррел — союзник ірландського ватажка Аода Мора О'Нейлла (ірл. — Aodh Mór Ó Néill) під час так званої Дев'ятирічної війни в Ірландії розбив англійську армію. Ця перемога ірландських повстанців ввійшла в історію як битва під Тіррелспасс. У 1650 році під час постання за незалежність Ірландії та «Війни Трьох Королівств» замок захопили війська Олівера Кромвеля та використали його як в'язницю. Багато людей було в'язнями цього замку, багато людей тут були скарані на горло, коли Олівер Кромвель втопив повстання за незалежність Ірландії в крові. Після реставрації монархії замок придбала родина Рошфорд, що пізніше отримала титул графів Бельведер. У 1796 ІІ граф Бельведер віддав замок в оренду британській армії — замок став казармою. У 1850 році замок перейшов у володіння Чарльза Брінслі Марлея, потім до онука єдиної дочки І графа Бельведер, потім до полковника Чарльза Говвард-Бері — дослідника. Він продав будинки на території садиби. Після стількох років бурхливої історії замок перебував у жалюгідному стані. Замок був реставрований Філіпом Гіннеллом в 1970 році. На початку 1990 року замок переробили в сучасний ресторан. Нині він працює під назвою «Тіррелпасс Кастл Ресторан». Тут проводяться бенкети у стилі середньовіччя.

Ulster Hospital

The Ulster Hospital, commonly known as the Ulster, is a teaching hospital in Dundonald (at the eastern edge of Belfast) in County Down, Northern Ireland. It is within the townland of Ballyregan, beside the A20 road. It provides acute services in the North Down, Ards and Castlereagh council areas, as well as east Belfast. It is managed by the South Eastern Health and Social Care Trust. History The hospital was first founded as the Ulster Hospital for Women and Sick Children in 1872. It was initially located on Chichester Street in Belfast City Centre but moved to Templemore Avenue in Mountpottinger in 1892. The first X-ray machine at the hospital was installed in 1920 and Dr Beath was employed to operate it. While located in Mountpottinger the hospital was severely damaged in the Belfast Blitz in 1941. It was relocated to Dundonald and renamed the Ulster Hospital. The 500-bed hospital on the new site was designed by renowned modernist architect Frederick Gibberd. lt was opened in 1962 by the Duchess of Gloucester, who described it as ‘not only of functional excellence but also of distinctive beauty’. Over several decades demand on hospital inpatient services increased, and resulting shortfalls in bed capacity and funding were reported by the local news media around the millennium. A redevelopment programme was announced in 2001, and in February 2003 the hospital was designated as one of the nine acute hospitals in the acute hospital network of Northern Ireland on which healthcare would be focused under the government health policy 'Developing Better Services'. The redevelopment programme has included the building of a renal unit (completed in 2006), a maternity unit (completed in 2007), a multistorey car park (completed in 2007) and a critical care complex accommodating state-of-the-art intensive care unit, theatres, laboratories and a sterile services department (completed in 2010). In June 2011, the Ulster Hospital was granted University Teaching Hospital status by Queen's University Belfast, and an undergraduate sub-deanery was created within the Trust. A new inpatient ward block was completed in April 2017 and a new acute services block was opened in 2021. References External links Official website
Upperchurch–Drombane GAA

Upperchurch–Drombane GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association club in the areas of Upperchurch and Drombane, County Tipperary, Ireland. The club fields teams in both hurling and Gaelic football. History Located in the Upperchurch and Drombane area, about 8 miles outside Thurles, Upperchurch–Drombane GAA Club began as two separate clubs in 1886. The first 50 years of the Gaelic Athletic Association saw the existence of various teams in the parish, with both Drombane and Upperchurch playing separately and also being involved in different amalgamations at different times, calling themselves Clodiagh Rangers. Drombane beat Thurles to win the Tipperary SHC title in 1894. By 1933, Upperchurch and Drombane had joined forces as a single club and won the first of six Mid Tipperary JAHC titles. The club claimed three Mid Tipperary IHC titles between 1991 and 1998, the last of which was subsequently converted into the club's first Tipperary IHC title and senior status for the first time ever. Upperchurch–Drombane also won four Mid Tipperary JAFC titles during this period, before winning its sole Tipperary JAFC title in 2002. Several Mid Tipperary IFC titles were later won, with Upperchurch–Drombane also winning their first Tipperary IFC title in 2015. A decade later in 2025, Upperchurch–Drombane secured senior hurling status once again, after beating Carrick Swans to claim the Tipperary PIHC title. The club later claimed the Munster Club IHC title, following a 3–20 to 0–15 win over O'Callaghan's Mills in the final.

Victor's Way

Victor's Way (previously Victoria's Way), located near Roundwood, County Wicklow, Ireland, is a privately owned meditation garden which contains black granite sculptures. The 22-acre (9 ha) property contains over 30 sculptures. As of 2025, the property was "closed [..] permanently" and not open to visitors. The park The park, which has been known both as Victor's Way and Victoria's Way, closed in 2015, with the owner stating that "Too many day-trippers turned it into a fun park for parents with children. It was designed as a contemplative garden for over 28s". The owner re-opened the garden, in April 2016, with new age restrictions and a higher entrance fee. As of 2025, the Victor's Way website indicated that the park was no longer open to visitors and had been permanently closed. Ownership The park is owned and maintained by Victor Langheld. Born in Berlin, he travelled in India, Thailand, Japan, and Sri Lanka. A small family allowance made it possible for Victor Langheld to spend most of his adult life travelling to spiritual sites in Asia, before returning to Ireland and constructing the sculpture park. Langheld designed the park's sculptures. Sculptures Many of the park's statues are made of black granite and range in height from 5 feet 6 inches (1.68 m) to 16 feet (4.9 m). The sculptures were mainly made by the Indian sculptor D.V. Murugan of Mamallapauram, Tamil Nadu, India. The first structure by the entrance is a sculpted tunnel based on the idea of vagina dentata. The first statue to arrive in the park, the "Fasting Buddha", is a 15ft bronze "copy" of a Gandhara-era sculpture. The last sculpture, which arrived in January 2025, was the 18ft 7ins sculpture of the Druid Finn. Eight statues are dedicated to Ganesha, showing the elephant god dancing, reading, and playing musical instruments. All the Ganesha sculptures were made in Tamil Nadu, India, and each took five craftsmen a year to make.
