Athlone Railway Bridge

The Athlone Railway Bridge, also known as the White Bridge, is a railway bridge over the River Shannon at Athlone, Ireland. History and Technical Details The bridge was built in 1851 and took 18 months to complete. The bridge is 542 feet (165 m) long. It was designed by G.W. Hemans, and built with a central span which can be opened to accommodate tall sailing craft. The iron-work was shipped to Limerick and then was transferred to Athlone by barge. The twelve cylindrical pillars are each 10 ft (3.0 m) in diameter. The opening central span is 120 ft (37 m) in length, but this was changed to a fixed section in 1972. The bridge is listed in the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage under number 15004129. References
Killaspugbrone

Killaspugbrone (Irish: Cill Easpaig Bhróin, meaning 'the church of Bishop Brón') is an early Christian church on the coast west of Sligo town and near the modern resort of Strandhill. Known as Caiseal Irrae in the earliest references. One of the earliest churches in Sligo, it was founded by Bishop Brón mac Icni (died 512) a contemporary of St. Patrick. The church is in a townland and civil parish of the same name. History This church was a major pilgrimage site that contained a relic of St. Patrick known as the Fiacail Pádraig, now in the National Museum of Ireland. According to Patricks biographer Tirechán in his Collectanea, Patrick prophesied that the sea would force his heirs to move closer to the river Sligo, now the Garavoge (see Sligo). "And they came to Trácht Authuili into the territory of Ira, Patrick and Brón, and with them Macc Erce Maicc Dregin, to the plain, that is, Ros Dregnige, where there is the chasuble of Brón, and as Patrick was sitting there a tooth fell out of his mouth, and he gave it to Brón as a relic. And he said: 'Behold, the sea will drive us out of this place in the last times, and you will go to the wood by the Sligo River." Church The present building dates to the 12th century. The church was the victim of Viking attack, perhaps the same expedition that assaulted Inishmurray. It is the subject of an ongoing preservation initiative by the Killaspugbrone Preservation Society.

Clontead More House

Clontead More House is a country house in the townland of Clontead More, situated 2.3 km (1.4 mi) north-east of Coachford village. Building c. 1840, it is one of a number of such estate houses situated along the valley of the River Lee and its tributaries. Clontead More House is listed by Cork County Council on the Record of Protected Structures. Its entry in the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage describes it as a detached three-bay, two-storey house, built c. 1840, having a front porch, two-storey extension on the southern side, and u-plan hipped slate roof with rendered chimney stacks. Two-storey outbuildings are arranged around a rear courtyard, one of which is a former barn. To the south-east is the remains of a red-brick walled garden. The property was constructed after 1840. It is not depicted on the 1842 surveyed OS map, which was also used during the mid-nineteenth century Primary Valuation of Ireland (Griffith's Valuation). The Connacht and Munster Landed Estates Database states that it was "built after the publication of the first edition Ordnance Survey map", and the 1901 surveyed OS map depicts the property, but does not name it. It was once the residence of the Gillman family. The Primary Valuation of Ireland (Griffith's Valuation) records Herbert Gillman as occupying c. 86 acres, consisting of a "house, offices and land". The buildings were valued at c. £14, the land at c. £50, and the immediate lessor was Edward Murphy. Gillman is interred in the chancel of Magourney Church, Coachford. The Irish Tourist Association survey of 1944 refers to the property as 'Clontead House, Peake' and the former residence of Herbert Webb Gillman. He is described as having been a Barrister-at-law, member of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland, Council member of the Cork Historical and Archaeological Society (CHAS) and 'specialised in castles around the countryside'. Gillman was one of the early members of CHAS and is interred in the apse of Magourney Church. Today, Clontead More House remains a private residence, and is not accessible to the public.

Le département de l'Agriculture, de l'Environnement et des Affaires rurales (en anglais : Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs) est le département ministériel dévolu d'Irlande du Nord chargé de la politique agricole et environnementale. Le poste est occupé par Andrew Muir depuis le 3 février 2024. Fonctions Le département est compétent dans les domaines : de l'agriculture ; du développement rural ; de l'alimentation ; de la politique agri-environnementale ; de la pêche maritime ; du risque d'inondations ; de forêts, de santé et bien-être animal ; de gestion des régimes de soutien du département britannique de l'Agriculture ; d'application de la politique agricole commune et de la politique européenne de développement rural ; de l'environnement naturel ; de l'environnement bâti ; de l'aménagement du territoire ; de la sécurité routière ; de la réglementation concernant l'automobile et la conduite automobile. Histoire À la suite du référendum du 23 mai 1998 sur l'accord du Vendredi saint, et la sanction royale de la loi sur l'Irlande du Nord de 1998 le 19 novembre suivant, une Assemblée et un Exécutif sont établis par le gouvernement travailliste du Premier ministre Tony Blair. Ce processus, connu sous le nom de « dévolution », poursuit le but de donner à l'Irlande du Nord son propre pouvoir législatif. En décembre 1999, sur la base de la loi sur l'Irlande du Nord, le décret sur les départements d'Irlande du Nord institue le « département de l'Agriculture et du Développement rural » (en anglais : Department of Agriculture and Rural Development). Entre le 12 février et le 30 mai 2000, puis du 15 octobre 2002 au 8 mai 2007, la dévolution est suspendue et le département passe sous administration directe d'un ministre du bureau pour l'Irlande du Nord, qui constitue l'un des départements ministériels du Royaume-Uni. Par la « loi sur départements d'Irlande du Nord de 2016 », le ministère est rebaptisé « département de l'Agriculture, de l'Environnement et des Affaires rurales » et absorbe à cette occasion le département de l'Environnement.

Jordan’s Castle

Die Ruine von Jordan’s Castle steht am Hafen von Ardglass im County Down in Nordirland. Aus einer Gruppe von früher sieben, heute noch vier Turmhäusern, die Hauptmerkmale des Stadtbildes sind, ragt Jordan’s Castle heraus. Ardglass war ein wichtiger Hafen im anglo-normannischen Ulster. Das angeblich von John de Courcy (um 1160–1219) nach der anglonormannischen Eroberung erbaute erste Turmhaus soll im Jahre 1210, beim Kriegszug gegen Hugh de Lacy (1176–1242) die Herberge von König Johann I. gewesen sein. Die Burgen bei den Häfen von Carrickfergus im County Antrim und Dundrum im County Down können ihm sicher zugewiesen werden. Simon Jordan, ein Mitglied der im Besitz des Turms befindlichen Händlerfamilie, wurde dort während des von Aodh Mór Ó Néill, 2. Earl of Tyrone angeführten Tyrone-Aufstandes drei Jahre lang von den O’Neills belagert, bis er 1601 von Charles Blount, 8th Baron Mountjoy (1563–1606) entsetzt wurde. Im heutigen Zustand zeigt sich Jordan’s Castle als ein etwa 1450 erbautes vierstöckiges, aus Sandstein errichtetes Turmhaus, mit vorspringenden Treppen- und Latrinentürmchen an der Nordseite und Pechnasen (engl. machicolation) dazwischen. Es wurde 1911 von dem Antiquitätensammler Francis Josef Biggar erworben und mehr oder weniger vollständig restauriert. Im Ort gibt es noch die Burgen und Überreste von Ardglass, Cowd und Margarets Castle. Weblinks Beschreibung engl. (PDF; 99 kB) Bilder
Jordan's Castle

Jordan's Castle (Irish: Caisleán MacSiurtain; Ulster Scots: Joardan's Kessel) is a castle situated in Ardglass, County Down, Northern Ireland. The tower house known as Jordan's Castle is a State Care Historic Monument sited in the townland of Ardglass, in the Newry, Mourne and Down District Council area, at grid ref: J5601 3713. It stands close to the junction of Kildare and Quay Streets in Ardglass and commands the harbour. Features The entrance is at the bottom of the north-west tower and leads to a spiral stairway to roof level. It is protected by a machicolation at that level. The Dublin Penny Journal of 30 March 1833 describes Jordan's Castle as follows: Of the remaining fortresses, the most remarkable is that called Jordan's Castle, which, though inferior in size to the King's Castle, is yet constructed with greater elegance than that, or any of the other buildings of the kind, and was a place of considerable strength. It is situated in the centre of the town, and appears to have been the citadel. This castle is memorable for the gallant defence made by its owner Simon Jordan, who, in the Tyrone rebellion, held it out for three years, till he was relieved by the Lord Deputy Mountjoy, on the 17th of June, 1601, who rewarded him for this service, both by a concordatum from the Queen and his own private bounty. History It was also extensively used for get-togethers of the wide circle of Irish Cultural revival artists and writers to whom Bigger was friend and patron. Following suggestions by Alice Stopford Green and the archivist Henry Egan Kenny, Bigger renamed the tower "Castle Seán' in honour of the two years when Shane O'Neill (Seán Ó Néill) controlled Ardglass, and they believed, re-fortified the tower following his defeat of the MacDonnells at Glentaisie in 1565. The contents have since been dispersed among the Ulster Museums general collections and the tower is no longer open to the public. Ardglass had at least six castles and remains of four of them can still be seen: Ardglass Castle, Cowd Castle, Margaret's Castle and Jordan's Castle.

Tommy Larkin's GAA

Tommy Larkin's Gaelic Athletic Club is a hurling club based in the Ballinakill and Woodford areas of County Galway, Ireland. It is a member of the Galway GAA branch of the Gaelic Athletic Association. It competes in the Galway Senior Hurling Championship. Name The club is named after two local men, both named Thomas Larkin, who played separate roles in local history. The first man, Tom Larkin of Gurteeny, Woodford, died in 1887. In 1886, during a week-long eviction at a premise known as Saunder's Fort in Woodford, Tom Larkin stood up to an RIC constable who was roughly treating a young girl and struck him. Larkin was subsequently arrested and imprisoned in the overcrowded Kilkenny Gaol where he died of reported neglect in 1887 aged 23. The second man, Fr. Tom Larkin of Ballinakill, is known locally as "one of the most devoted lovers of all that was Irish: games, music and dancing". He fostered hurling in Ballinakill and in all East Galway when he was chairman. Fr. Larkin played a role in GAA affairs in County Galway in the 1920s and 1930s and he coached the Tynagh teams which won ten County Galway senior championships and supplied a number of players to the Galway team which won the All-Ireland of 1923. He was also the founder of the Ballinakill Céilí Band. He died in 1949 aged 58. History Tommy Larkin's Gaelic Athletic Club was founded in 1968 with the amalgamation of the Woodford and Ballinakill GAA clubs. Soon after amalgamation, adult hurling flourished with the senior team winning the county title in 1971. However, despite efforts from club members, the club struggled to compete in the late 1970s and 1980s due in the most part to emigration. In 1990, the club was relegated to the intermediate ranks. This prompted a renewed commitment to coaching at underage level. Since the 1990s, the club has won several county titles at Under 12, Under 14, and Under 16, including two Féile titles. Crest The club's current crest, designed in 2004 based on an earlier crest, includes the "T" and "L" in Celtic monogram lettering (representing the club name "Tommy Larkins") as well as a hurley, sliotar and football (representing the Gaelic games played at the club). Notable people Cyril Farrell, three-time All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship winning manager (including back-to-back titles in 1987 and 1988 with Galway) Jason Flynn, All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship winner with Galway Éanna Murphy, inter-county hurler with Galway Honours Connacht Senior Club Hurling Championship (1): 1971 Galway Senior Hurling Championship (1): 1971 Connacht Intermediate Club Hurling Championship (2): 2005, 2007 References External links Official website
