Waterford Courthouse

Waterford Courthouse is a judicial facility in Catherine Street, Waterford, County Waterford, Ireland. History The current building is the second courthouse to occupy the site. It replaced a courthouse designed by James Gandon which was constructed in 1784, and occupied the site until roughly 1840. In the 12th century, the Augustinian Priory of St Catherine occupied the site. The courthouse was designed by John B. Keane. The builder was Terence O'Reilly, and was built between 1848 and 1849. The building was originally used as a facility for dispensing justice but, following the implementation of the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898, which established county councils in every county, it also became the first meeting place for Waterford County Council. It was agreed, however, that subsequent meetings would be held at Dungarvan Courthouse. By the 1970s, the building had fallen into a state of serious disrepair, and in 1977 roughly two-thirds of the original building was demolished. All that was left was the front façade, the "shell" of the two courtooms, and the concourse which linked them. The interior of the courthouse was refurbished in 1980. Extensive refurbishment and expansion of the courthouse began in 2015. As part of these works, a disused fire station was demolished, as was the original 1984 extension of the courthouse. The Waterford Courthouse was officially re-opened by Charles Flanagan, Minister for Justice and Equality, in April 2018. Architecture Built of ashlar granite, the original courthouse building is in the neoclassical style, and features a pedimented hexastyle Ionic portico. It is similar to in both plan and elevation to Tullamore Courthouse and Ennis Courthouse, both of which were also designed by Keane. As part of the 2015-2018 renovations, a granite-paved plaza was created on Catherine Street, in place of the old fire station. Originally built with two courtrooms, following the 2015–2018 renovations, the courthouse now contains 6 courtrooms. The building features a four-storey atrium which acts as a rotunda, with entrances to all 6 of the courtrooms accessible from this central space. References Notes Sources
Bishop’s Island (Clare)

Bishop’s Island (irisch Oileán an Easpaig Ghortaigh) ist eine kleine, steile Felsinsel (ein so genannter Stack) von 65 m Höhe, etwa zwei Kilometer westsüdwestlich von Kilkee. Stacks sind natürliche durch Prozesse der Küstengeomorphologie durch Wind und Wasser gebildete vom Festland abgetrennte Küstenbereiche. Bishop’s Island liegt vor der Westküste des County Clare in Irland. Es liegt unterhalb der Cliffs of Moher, 80–100 m vor der Steilküste, gegenüber dem Townland Foohagh (An Fhuathach) und ist nur per Boot erreichbar. Die Reste einer Kapelle (Oratorium) und einer Bienenkorbhütte (irisch Clochán) werden einer Einsiedelei des St. Senan (gest. 546) zugeschrieben. Auf der Insel stehen außerdem zwei schmucklose Steinsäulen (englisch pillar). Siehe auch Mutton Island (Clare) Weblinks mit Bild des Clocháns auf Bishops’s Island
Бишопс-Айленд (Клэр)

Бишопс-Айленд (англ. Bishop's Island, ирл. Oileán an Easpaig Ghortaigh) — небольшой необитаемый скалистый остров высотой 65 метров, находящийся примерно в двух километрах к юго-западу от Килки (графство Клэр) на западном побережье Ирландии. С геологической точки зрения остров представляет собой морской столбчатый утёс — часть побережья, в ходе естественных абразивных геоморфологических процессов отделённая от суши. Бишопс-Айленд лежит в 80–100 метрах от клифов, напротив поселения Фухах (англ. Foohagh, ирл. Fhuathach) и достижим только морским путём. На острове сохранились остатки часовни (оратории) и клохана (ирл. clochán) — каменного скита в форме пчелиного улья, создание которых приписывается Святому Сенану. Примечания
Free Church, Great Charles Street, Dublin

Free Church, Great Charles Street, Dublin was a proprietary episcopal chapel in Summerhill, off Mountjoy Square in Dublin. Built by Methodists, in 1800, designed by architect Edward Robbins, and initially known as the Wesley Chapel. Following a schism in the congregation in 1816, a group called the Primitive Wesleyan Methodists split from the Methodist Church, it became known as the free church. Due to the free church being too large for their numbers, the Primitive Wesleyan Methodists opened a new Chapel nearby in Langrishe Place, Summerhill, in 1825. The church originally framed a vista of 3 storey over basement Georgian houses facing down Rutland Street Upper (now Seán O'Casey Avenue) however these houses were demolished in the 1980s. The Free Church was used by the Anglican congregation from the nearby St. George's Church, Dublin while it was being constructed. It was reconsecrated a church within the Anglican Community on 4 May 1828 by Archbishop Magee. The landlord, the Methodist printer (who was treasurer of the Primitive Methodist Society Home Mission) R. Bennett Dugdale(1756-1826), wanted to prevent it becoming a Catholic church, and sold it in 1826, to the Church of Ireland. After this it was sometimes referred to as the Free Episcopal Chapel, Great Charles St.. Rev. John Hare was Chaplain, assisted by the organist the Rev. Richard William Beaty, from 1828 until 1877, he was succeeded by his pupil Richard Harrison. Rev. Oswald Garrow Fischer BA, who served as chaplain to the forces was attached to the Free Church for a time, as was Rev. Ernest Fischer who was Chaplain. C.R.R. Magrath who preached at and was Honorary Secretary of the Free Church (Dublin) wrote a short history of the church. It served as a chapel of ease for St. George's Church, Dublin during its popularity in the early 20th century. It closed as a church in 1988. It was refurbished and adapted around 1990 becoming Pavee Point, for use as Dublin Travellers' Education and Development Group.

North Strand Church (Church of Ireland)

North Strand Church is a Church of Ireland church on North Strand and Waterloo Avenue in Dublin, Ireland. The original church was established in 1786. It is now part of the United Parish of Drumcondra, North Strand, and Saint Barnabas. St. Columba's National School, which was established in 1787, is on the same grounds and affiliated with the church. History Associated Parishes North Strand parish merged with the Parish of Drumcondra in 1896. When St. Barnabas' Church, Dublin on Sheriff Street closed in 1965 it was merged with North Strand. The churches at Drumcondra and North Strand now serve the combined parishes. Since 2017 North Strand and Drumcondra churches also serve the Anglican communities from St. George and St. Thomas parishes. Buildings The original school and chapel were situated on the corner of North Strand and Spring Garden Street. The foundation stone for a new Episcopal Chapel on the current North Strand site was laid on 7 September 1836 by Rev Charles Henry Minchin; the architect was Joseph Welland. Reconstruction work on the old school building was carried out in 1943–44, and the buildings were reopened by Éamon de Valera. The church contains memorials to parishioners lost in the Great War, and the Roll of Honour form it, it also contains the Roll of Honour from the St Barnabas parish from the Great War, after the Church of St Barnabas was demolished in 1969. Clergy In the nineteenth century, the church would have been considered and referred to as an Episcopal Chapel, with a number of clergy on the evangelical wing involved in the church, including Rev. Dr Singer and Rev. Krause, (and Arthur Guinness) who were trustees of the church at the time. The Rev. Richard Hemphill AM, served as chaplain to the church. Rev. Ernest Lewis-Crosby was rector from 1904 to 1914. In 2016, Canon Roy Byrne was succeeded by Rev. Garth Bunting as rector.

Woodstock Castle (Athy)

Woodstock Castle is a 13th-century stone castle located in Athy, Ireland. Location Woodstock Castle is located in the north of Athy, on the west bank of the River Barrow. History Woodstock Castle was built in the early 13th century by Robert de St Michael, a Norman lord who was granted Rheban Castle and the surrounding area by Richard de Clare (Strongbow). It is sited near the "ford of Ae" (Áth Í) which gives Athy its name. Initially the fortifications consisted of earthen banks topped with palisades but these were later replaced by stone walls in the form of a hall-keep, a rectangular structure with a large hall and underground storage. The Crutched Friars established a monastery next to Woodstock Castle in the 13th century. On at least four occasions during that century the village of Athy, including Woodstock Castle and the monasteries, was attacked and badly damaged by the displaced Gaelic Irish.In 1417, John Talbot, 2nd Earl of Shrewsbury built White's Castle to guard the bridge, 620 metres (680 yd) to the SSW and on the opposite site of the river, and the centre of gravity of the town of Athy shifted to the south, leaving Woodstock Castle isolated. Around 1424, the castle passed from the Barons of Rheban to the Earls of Kildare when Thomas FitzGerald, 7th Earl married Dorothea of the Ó Mórdha. In the 16th century the castle was altered, with a tower added to the southeast angle and, on the west end, a pair of circular gunports set within rectangular openings. Gunports of this type were invented in England in the 1520s. Also in that century, the walls were raised to add a third storey and several windows with hood mouldings were added. In 1530, Gerald FitzGerald, 9th Earl of Kildare garrisoned and fortified the castle. Woodstock Castle was an important site during the Irish Confederate Wars (1641–53); originally commanded by Pierce FitzGerald, in 1642 it was taken from the rebels by James Butler, 1st Marquess of Ormond; it was in turn taken by Eoghan Ruadh Ó Néill in 1647, and he massacred the garrison. Murrough O'Brien, 1st Earl of Inchiquin retook Woodstock in 1648. Local legend claims that a tunnel linked Woodstock Castle with White's Castle. In 2015, magnetometry and electromagnetic induction surveys were carried out. Castle A tall stone castle of three storeys. It once contained a stone carving of a piper playing the great Irish warpipes; this artwork was later moved to Kilkea Castle. References
Carlingford (hrad)

Hrad Carlingford (irsky Caisleán Chairlinn, anglicky zvaný též King John's Castle neboli hrad krále Jana) se nachází v přístavu města Carlingford na břehu zátoky Carlingford Lough v hrabství Louth v provincii Leinster v Irské republice. Hrad krále Jana v Carlingfordu je zapsán pod číslem 249 na seznamu státem chráněných národních památek Irska. Geografie Hrad Carlingford stojí na jižním břehu 15 km dlouhého fjordu Carlingford Lough, přímo u severní přístavní hráze města Carlingford. Od státní hranice mezi Irskou republikou a Severním Irskem (Spojené království), která prochází středem zátoky, je pobřeží v těchto místech vzdáleno zhruba 2 km, zatímco irská metropole Dublin leží asi 70 km daleko směrem na jih (přibližně 90 km po místních komunikacích). Město Carlingford se stejnojmenným hradem a dalšími památkami leží na poloostrově Cooley, východně od hlavního hřebene pohoří Cooley, a to přímo na úpatí jeho nejvyššího vrcholu Slieve Foye (589 m n. m.). Historie Hrad nechal vybudovat před svou smrtí Hugh de Lacy (1135 (?)–1186), 4. baron Lacy, pán Meathu. Východní část hradu byla postavena v polovině 13. století (pravděpodobně kolem roku 1261), k dalším přestavbám a úpravám došlo v 15. a 16. století. Půdorys pevnosti má podobu písmene "D", hradní zdi jsou silné až 3,4 m. Jméno hradu King John’s Castle se začalo objevovat od 60. let 13. století. Toto pojmenování bylo inspirováno skutečností, že na carlingfordském hradě během tažení proti Hughu de Lacymu, synovi zakladatele hradu, pobýval v roce 1210 anglický král Jan Bezzemek. Podle pověsti král Jan na hradě Carlingford navrhl první koncept Velké listiny práv a svobod (latinsky Magna charta libertatum), která byla přijata v roce 1215. Během tzv. Irských konfederačních válek (1641 až 1653) mezi irskou katolickou konfederací a anglickými a skotskými royalisty, byl hrad, který byl držen irskými katolíky, několikrát dobyt protivníky (v letech 1642, 1649 a 1650). Během války mezi Jakubem II. Stuartem a Vilémem III. Oranžským byl hrad Carlingford v roce 1689 vypálen jakobity. Před bitvou, která se odehrála na řece Boyne poblíž Droghedy, nechal generál Schomberg v prostorách někdejšího hradu zřídit vojenský špitál. V 19. století při výstavbě regionální železnice společnosti Dundalk, Newry & Greenore Railway byl hrad oddělen od ostatní pevniny hlubokým zářezem. Dostupnost Hrad Carlingford se nachází poblíž přístavu na výběžku pevniny, který od severního okraje města odděluje silnice R 173. Interiéry hradu nejsou veřejnosti přístupné kvůli nebezpečí zřícení zdiva.

King John’s Castle (County Louth)

King John’s Castle (auch Carlingford Castle, irisch Caisleán Rí Sheáin, Caisleán Chairlinn) ist die Ruine einer Niederungsburg in Carlingford im irischen County Louth. Die Burgruine liegt am Hafen, auf halbem Wege die Südküste des Carlingford Lough entlang. Sie gilt als National Monument. Geschichte Den Westflügel von Carlingford Castle ließ Hugh de Lacy, Lord of Meath, Ende des 12. Jahrhunderts, bald nach der anglonormannischen Invasion Irlands, errichten. Das Gebäude erhielt den Namen „King John’s Castle“, nachdem König Johann Ohneland, Lord of Ireland, 1210, während seiner zweiten Expedition nach Irland, als er in der Provinz Ulster einmarschierte, um Hugh de Lacy, 1. Earl of Ulster, festzunehmen, angeblich drei Tage dort verbracht hatte. Ein lokaler Mythos besagt, dass er in Carlingford damit begann, die Magna Carta zu entwerfen, die 1215 ratifiziert wurde. Andere Quellen schreiben dies Ralph Pepper im Jahre 1204 zu. Der Ostflügel der Burg wurde um 1261 hinzugefügt. 1326 wurde die Burg Geoffrey le Bloud anvertraut. Edmond Loundres war 1388 Konstabler, Stephen Gernon 1400. Henry McShane O’Neill versuchte 1596, die Burg einzunehmen. In den irischen Konföderationskriegen befand sich die Burg in Händen der irisch-katholischen Konföderation; 1642 wurde sie von Truppen unter Sir Henry Tichborne, 3. Baronet, eingenommen, 1649 von den Streitkräften von Murrough O’Brien, 1. Earl of Inchiquin, und 1650 von denen von Charles Coote, 1. Earl of Mountrath. Im Krieg der zwei Könige wurde es 1689 von den Jakobiten beschossen und von Friedrich von Schomberg vor der Schlacht am Boyne als wilhelminisches Lazarett genutzt. Beschreibung King John’s Castle ist eine Burg in D-Form mit 3,4 Meter dicken Mauern. Die Kurtine im Westflügel hatte ein Torhaus und einen Flankierungsturm mit quadratischem Grundriss. Sie enthält auch tiefe Schießscharten mit engen Pfeilschlitzen. Eine große Halle mit rechteckigem Grundriss befindet sich im Ostflügel; diese Halle hat zwei Hauptgeschosse und einen Keller.

Castello di Carlingford

Il castello di Carlingford (noto anche come castello di re Giovanni) è sito nel villaggio di Carlingford nel Leinster, in Irlanda. La struttura, risalente alla fine del XII secolo, è in rovina, ma se ne è conservata comunque buona parte. Storia Il feudatario anglo-irlandese Hugh de Lacy, signore di Meath, entrato in possesso dell'importante porto di Carlingford alla fine del XII secolo, volle consolidare la sua autorità costruendovi un castello. Egli tuttavia presto entrò in contrasto con re Giovanni d'Inghilterra, il quale infine requisì i suoi possedimenti, tra cui anche il castello di Carlingford, da allora noto anche come castello di re Giovanni, poiché il sovrano vi risiedette brevemente nel 1210. Il castello, periodicamente attaccato dagli abitanti gaelici dell'interno, fu anche preso dagli scozzesi nel 1388, quando una spedizione guidata da William Douglas, signore di Nithsdale mise a ferro e fuoco Carlingford per vendicarsi delle razzie che i suoi abitanti facevano in Scozia. Ricostruito, il castello andò progressivamente in rovina durante il XVI secolo per i suoi troppo alti costi di mantenimento, e nel XVII secolo subì ingenti danni durante la conquista cromwelliana dell'Irlanda e infine durante la guerra guglielmita, eventi che lo lasciarono definitivamente diroccato. Da allora il castello è inutilizzato e, nonostante Carlingford sia una popolare meta turistica, la costruzione è chiusa al pubblico in quanto pericolante. Rappresenta comunque un notevole punto d'interesse all'interno della cittadina e una delle sue principali attrazioni.
