Wilson's Hospital School

Wilson's Hospital School is a Church of Ireland co-educational boarding school in County Westmeath, Ireland. Founded in 1761, it is Westmeath's oldest school, and is housed in a protected Georgian building near the village of Multyfarnham, 11 km north-west of Mullingar. A private fee paying school for most of its history, in 2011 it transferred to the voluntary aided sector and does not charge fees for schooling but retains fees for boarding and extra curricular activities. History Wilson's Hospital School was founded in 1761 by Andrew Wilson as a school for young Protestant boys and also as a hospital for old men. The school's main Georgian building, including its 220-seater chapel, was designed by architect John Pentland and completed between 1759 and 1761. It is listed, together with other structures on the grounds, on the Record of Protected Structures for County Westmeath. The school grounds were the site of a battle preceding the Battle of Ballinamuck during the 1798 rebellion in which 150–300 rebels were killed. Over time the school ceased functioning as a hospital but still retained this title within its name. Operating as an all-boys school for 200 years, it became co-educational in 1969 when it was amalgamated with the Preston School from Navan which was established by John Preston in 1686. This connection is reflected in the name of a newer classroom block, The Preston Building. In September 2022, the High Court ordered the jailing of a suspended teacher, Enoch Burke, for refusing to comply with a court order preventing him from attending the school. This followed his rejection of disciplinary procedures after reputedly interrupting school business to object to its guidelines on addressing transgender students. After a disciplinary hearing in January 2023, Burke was dismissed from his role at the school. Teaching The school caters for approximately 400 students. While many of the school's students are boarders, a number of day pupils also attend the school. As the diocesan secondary school of the Diocese of Meath and Kildare, Wilson's Hospital School operates under a Church of Ireland ethos. The school operates a five-day boarding week and teaching schedule. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a seven-day boarding week which allowed boarders the option of returning home at weekends or remaining at the school to avail of the weekend activity programmes. Academically, the school offers a range of subjects up to higher Leaving Certificate standard. Sport Wilson's Hospital fields schoolboy rugby teams in "Section A" of the Leinster Branch's schools competitions. Former sportspeople, associated with the school, include Andrew Thompson and Joe Schmidt (who coached at the school in the 1990s). The school also fields hockey teams, and has a "partnership" with Mullingar Hockey Club. Notable people Enoch Burke, former teacher James Kavanagh, media personality Homan Potterton, attended the Preston School in Navan which was later to become Wilson's Hospital Joe Schmidt, former rugby coach at the school Andrew Thompson, rugby player and former student References External links Official website
Windsor House (Belfast)

Windsor House (officially known as 9-15 Bedford Street) was a 23-story, 80 m high-rise building on Bedford Street in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The building was the tallest storeyed building in Northern Ireland before being surpassed by the Obel Tower (also in Belfast) which stands at 85 metres (279 feet) tall, with 28 floors. The total structural height was actually taller than the Obel, if you include the two plant floors and radio mast it stood at 93m(305ft) tall. Constructed in 1974 as an office building, Windsor House had a tall green elevator shaft and green side wall facade, as well as satellite and aerial masts, which stood a further seven metres in the air. The building was badly damaged in an IRA bombing in 1992. It was sold for £30m in 2006 to County Cavan building firm P Elliot. In March 2007 plans were made to convert the building into a block of flats. However, the conversion plans fell through. In May 2015, Hastings Hotel Group, an NI-based hospitality company, purchased the building for £6.5m. A planning application was submitted on 23 June 2015, proposing refurbishment, partial demolition and rebuilding, extension and change of use of Windsor House for a hotel (304 bedrooms) with associated restaurant and bar facilities (on ground to 15th floor) and 18 serviced hotel apartments on the 16 and the 17th floors; creation of new retail unit on ground floor overlooking Franklin Street; retention and refurbishment and extension of office use (25,000 ft2) on upper floors (18th to 22nd floor). The planning application was approved 20 October 2015 and redevelopment work commenced in July 2016. Following a £30m refurbishment, the new hotel opened in 2018 as the Grand Central Hotel.

Ballintubber Abbey

Ballintubber Abbey ist eine katholische Kirche im Dorf Ballintober (irisch Baile Tobair Phadraig), das ca. 15 km südlich von Castlebar im County Mayo liegt. Sie ist eine ehemalige Niederlassung der Augustiner-Chorherren und die einzige noch existierende Kirche Irlands, die von einem irischen König in Auftrag gegeben wurde. Ballintubber Abbey wurde 1216 auf Befehl Königs Cathal O’Conor nach achtjähriger Bauzeit fertiggestellt. Einer Legende zufolge war zuvor der Befehl des Königs falsch ausgeführt worden und es war eine Abtei in Ballintober (irisch Baile Tobair Bhrighde) im County Roscommon erbaut worden. Nachdem das Missverständnis aufgefallen war, soll der Monarch den erneuten Bau in noch prächtigerer Ausführung am richtigen Ort angeordnet haben. Eine frühchristliche Klostergründung auf der Halbinsel An Muirthead wurde von Ballintubber als Tochterhaus übernommen und 1400 durch Bonifatius IX. bestätigt. Trotz vieler Bedrohungen – unter anderem versuchte die protestantische Armee Oliver Cromwells 1650 die Kirche niederzubrennen – ist Ballintubber Abbey auch nach mehr als 800 Jahren eine der Sehenswürdigkeiten im County Mayo. 1966 wurde sie umfassend restauriert. In der reizvollen Kulisse der Kirche finden heutzutage viele Hochzeiten von Prominenten (u. a. Pierce Brosnan, 2001 und Michael Patrick Kelly, 2013) statt. Um das Abteigebäude herum befindet sich ein in das Gelände eingebetteter Kreuzweg. Am Reek Sunday, dem letzten Sonntag im Juli, treffen sich Pilger, um von Ballintubber 22 Meilen bis zum Croagh Patrick (irisch Cruach Phádraig) zu wandern.

Ballyedmonduff

Das Wedge Tomb von Ballyedmonduff (irisch Baile Éamainn Duibh – auch als Giants Grave bekannt) liegt an einem Hang des Two Rock Mountain (irisch Binn Dá Charraig), in einem Wald nördlich von Glencullen im Süden des County Dublin in Irland. Wedge Tombs, früher auch „wedge-shaped gallery grave“ genannt, sind ein Typ von Megalithanlagen der späten Jungsteinzeit und der frühen Bronzezeit, der primär in der westlichen Hälfte der Insel verbreitet ist. Ballyedmonduff ist eines der östlichsten Vorkommen seiner Gattung. Es ist ein irisches National Monument. Es hat eine selten belegte Aufteilung in Vorraum, Kammer und gut erhaltener Endkammer, die gemeinsam von der innen doppelten, außen einfachen weitestgehend erhaltenen keilförmigen Einfassung des mehrheitlich abgetragenen Steinhügels umgeben werden. Eine solche Konstellation findet sich ansonsten noch in Cashelbane im County Tyrone in Nordirland. Am südlichen Ende liegt ein langer Stein mit sieben Schälchen auf der Oberfläche. Diese Felskunst ist in der Regel mit der älteren neolithischen Kultur verbunden und wird auf Naturfelsen (Felsritzungen von Reyfad) gefunden. Der Stein kann aus einem Aufschluss stammen und an den Ort verbracht worden sein. Die Funde in der 1940 ausgegrabenen und restaurierten Megalithanlage bestanden aus Keramik, Leichenbrand und Steinwerkzeugen. Es gibt andere Megalithen in den Dubliner Bergen, darunter das Portal Tomb und die ähnlich stark gestörte Megalithanlagen von Kilmashogue und den Menhir von Glencullen.

Ballyedmonduff Wedge Tomb

The Ballyedmonduff Wedge Tomb is a wedge-shaped gallery grave and a National Monument in Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown, Ireland. Location Ballyedmonduff Wedge Tomb is found on the south-eastern slope of the Two Rock mountain. Ongoing replanting and an expansion of mountain biking in the area by Glencullen Adventure Park has removed all the surrounding trees. Access is available through the Glencullen Adventure Park walking trails which are part of the Dublin Mountains Way. Mountain bike trails run within 15 feet of the national monument. History This is an early Bronze Age wedge tomb, around 1700 BC, and was situated in a small clearing in a planted forest before the trees surrounding it were cut down in 2020. The tomb was excavated in the 1830s and then again in the 1940s; during this excavation, cremated bone, a polished stone hammer, flints and pottery were found. The tomb is U-shaped and features double-walling; the rectangular chamber is divided into three parts. References
Wild Nephin Nationalpark

Wild Nephin Nationalpark (irsk: Néifinn Fhiáin) er en nationalpark i den nordvestlige del af County Mayo i Irland. Den omfatter en stor del af Nephin Beg-bjergene og en af de største arealer med naturtypen Terrændækkende mose i Europa i alt 150 kvadratkilometer. Det er et unikt habitat med en mangfoldig flora og fauna. Den blev etableret som Ballycroy National Park i 1998, derefter udvidet og omdøbt i 2018, med planer om rewilding af det fjerntliggende område. Parken er en kandidat til EU-habitatområde som en del af et sted kendt som Owenduff/Nephin Complex. Det er også et fuglebeskyttelsesområde og en del af Natura 2000-netværket. Historie EU- habitatdirektivet (92/43/EEC), som blev omsat til irsk lov i 1997, opregner visse levesteder og arter, som den irske regering skulle udpege som habitatområder for at sikre deres beskyttelse. Disse levesteder omfatter de terrændækkende moseområder. Mosen ved Ballycroy er særlig vigtig i denne henseende, fordi den er et af de største eksempler på et uberørt mosehabitat der er tilbage i Vesteuropa. Ballycroy blev etableret som en nationalpark den 1. november 1998. Det forvaltes under State Property Act af 1954. I 2017 blev 4.000 hektar nåleskov og bjerge føjet til de 11.000 hektarer af den tilstødende Ballycroy National Park. Området skal forvaltes af National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) og er blevet identificeret som havende potentiale for rewilding. Området var oprindeligt en produktionsskov, bestående af fyrre- og granplantager, med skovningsveje overalt. Natur Der er moser, klipper og flodhabitater i parken. De terrændækkende moser et af de største tørvearealer der er tilbage i Europa. Bevaring af mosen er derfor af international betydning på grund af de nicher, den giver for forskellige arter, såsom sjældne plantearter. Owenduff-floden er også et vigtigt fredet område, fordi det er den eneste flod i Vesteuropa, der stadig afvander et relativt intakt og omfattende mosesystem. Det er også en meget produktiv lakse- og havørredflod. Owenduff-området er et vigtigt raste-, spise- og ynglested for en række trækfuglearter, som f.eks. blisgås, der er beskyttet af EU's fugledirektiv. Andre sjældne arter i parken omfatter sangsvanen, vandrefalken og engsnarren. Ballycroy National Park er en del af Mayo Dark Sky Park, som er Irlands første internationale Dark Sky Park. Et besøgscenter for parken åbnede i 2009. Den 700 kvadratmeter store bygning har udsigt over Atlanterhavet i landsbyen Ballycroy. Det er åbent dagligt i hele sommerens turistsæson.

Ballycroy-Nationalpark

i3i6 Der Ballycroy-Nationalpark (irisch Páirc Náisiúnta Bhaile Chruaich) im County Mayo im Nordwesten Irlands ist mit 117,79 km² eines der größten Hochmoore Europas. Der Nationalpark wurde am 1. November 1998 aufgrund der Fauna-Flora-Habitat-Richtlinie eingerichtet und ist somit der Teil der Natura 2000, die die Artenvielfalt in Europa erhalten soll. Schaffung des Nationalparks Die europäische Habitatsrichtlinie, die 1997 in irisches Recht umgesetzt wurde, listet bestimmte Lebensräume und Arten auf, die von Irland durch Schutzräume erhalten werden sollen. Diese Gebiete umfassen unter anderem umfangreiche Sumpfgebiete wie das von Ballycroy. Ballycroy ist eines der größten noch erhaltenen Sumpfgebiete Westeuropas. Merkmale Der Park ist geprägt von umfassenden Sümpfen, Abhängen und Flusshabitaten. Die Sumpfgebiete haben eine der größten Ausdehnungen von Torfmoor, die in Europa noch erhalten sind. Somit ist die Sicherung nach Meinung der Europäischen Union von „internationaler Wichtigkeit“, weil das Gebiet verschiedenen seltenen Lebewesen und vor allem Pflanzen, eine so genannte ökologische Nische bietet. Auch der Fluss Owenduff wird erhalten, da er der einzige Fluss in Westeuropa ist, der einem verhältnismäßig intaktem und umfangreichem Sumpfsystem einen Abfluss bietet. In ihm leben viele Lachse und Bachforellen. Ein Besucherzentrum, finanziert von der irischen Regierung, liegt in Ballycroy. Das 700 m² große Gebäude soll die öffentliche Anerkennung des Parks und seiner Landschaft bestärken. Tierwelt Der Nationalpark bietet vielen Vogelarten einen Lebensraum, z. B. dem Singschwan, dem Alpenstrandläufer, dem Flussuferläufer, der Waldschnepfe und der Wasseramsel. Die Greifvögel sind durch Wanderfalken, Sperber und Habicht vertreten, im Winter kann man auch Kornweihen beobachten. Auch das Moorschneehuhn und der Goldregenpfeifer brüten hier. Der Park ist auch für Blässgänse aus Grönland und Goldregenpfeifer, die als Wintergäste in größerer Anzahl vorkommen, von Bedeutung. Bemerkenswerte Säugetierarten sind Otter, Schneehase und verschiedene Fledermausarten, darunter die Mückenfledermaus. Häufiger kommen Rotfuchs, Dachs und Baummarder vor.

Parque nacional de Wild Nephin

El parque nacional de Wild Nephin, originalmente y hasta 2021 parque nacional de Ballycroy,​​ se encuentra en la zona de las montañas Nephin/Owenduff de la Baronía de Erris en el noroeste del condado de Mayo, República de Irlanda. Es una de las mayores extensiones de turberas de Europa, y está formado por 117,79 kilómetros cuadrados de blanket bog atlántico. Es un hábitat único con variada flora y fauna. Fue creado como parque nacional el 1 de noviembre de 1998.​ También es una Zona de Especial Conservación (SAC) y es parte de la red Natura 2000.​ Creación del parque nacional de Ballycroy La Directiva de Hábitats de la Unión Europea (92/43/EEC), que fue traspuesta al derecho irlandés en 1997, enumera ciertos hábitats y especies que el gobierno irlandés debía designar como zonas de especial protección para asegurar su protección. Estos hábitats incluyen las extensiones turbera.​ La turba en Ballycroy es especialmente importante a este respecto porque es uno de los mayores ejemplos de un hábitat de blanket bog que queda en Europa Occidental. Ballycroy está administrado por la ley de propiedad estatal de 1954.​ El cambio de nombre a Wild Nephin fue polémico y provocó protestas de la población local.​ Véase también Parques nacionales de Irlanda Referencias Enlaces externos
