St. Bernard's Church Abbeydorney

St. Bernard's Church is a Roman Catholic church in Abbeydorney, Co. Kerry, Ireland. The building is a Modern Ecclesiastical work by Tralee-born architect Daniel J. Kennedy. It is on Kerry County Council's record of protected structures. Location St. Bernard's is located on the Abbeydorney-Ardfert road, but the back entrance connects to the R556 and is the site of a former schoolhouse, according to a plaque. The church belongs to the parish of Abbeydorney-Kilflynn. To the west of the church lies the River Brick and The Pens park. History St. Bernard's was built on the site of an older church of the same name which was demolished in 1966, and stood for 150 years prior. Daniel J. Kennedy was commissioned to design a modern church for the village. The church was completed in June 1968, and cost IR£80,000. It was built by Fitzgerald Bros. Only one antique is featured, which is the Gothic Revival organ from 1880. It was restored in 1997 and is still in use today. It came from St. Joseph's Convent on Portland Row in Dublin. In 2025, during Storm Éowyn a treeline along the River Brick was uprooted, causing damage to a plaque and a memorial in the church yard. Architecture The church is built on flat land. The walls are made of concrete brick and bands. The roof is made of five pitched overlapping copper-sheeted roofs rising towards the chancel, with a copper spire topping the highest section. The timber-and-steel roof is carried on reinforced concrete frames and concentrates light on the altar. A back entrance exists, both for accessibility and for vehicles such as hearses to drive to the front. A grass lawn decorates the West side of the church, along the River Brick. References

Castleblayney Town Hall

Castleblayney Town Hall (Irish: Halla an Bhaile Bhaile na Lorgan) is a municipal building in the Market Square at Castleblayney, County Monaghan, Ireland. It has served as a market house, as a town hall and as a courthouse, but is currently disused and standing derelict. History The building was commissioned as a market house for the town by Andrew Blayney, 11th Baron Blayney, whose seat was at Blayney Castle, and was intended to support the local linen trade. The site he selected was an elevated location in the centre of the Market Square. It was designed in the Italianate style, built in rubble masonry with a cement render finish and was completed in its original form around 1790. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of eight bays facing southwest onto the Market Square. The central section of four bays featured a loggia with four round headed openings on the ground floor, and four sash windows behind a parapet and a large recess on the first floor. The end sections of two bays each, which were slightly projected forward, were fenestrated by slightly recessed round headed windows on the ground floor and by sash windows with window sills on the first floor. The rear elevation of the building, which was accessed further down the slope of the hill, incorporated a basement floor which was arcaded, so that markets could be held, and was unrendered. At roof level, there was a bell tower with an ogee-shaped dome at the northwest end of the building. Internally, the principal room was a large assembly room on the first floor. A three-bay courthouse extension, which was projected outward at the rear of the building, was added in 1856. After the town commissioners were replaced by an urban district council in 1899, the new council adopted the building as its meeting place. The council continued to operate from the building until the late 20th century, when it relocated to offices in Main Street. Monaghan County Council then condemned the building as unsafe and local hearings of the district court and of the circuit court were relocated to Hope Castle in 1997. A statue of the country singer, Tom McBride, was unveiled at the back of the building by President of Ireland, Michael D. Higgins, in September 2018. Deterioration After the collapse of an internal wall in 2019, Monaghan County Council instructed contractors to stabilise the exterior walls and to remove the partially collapsed roof. In April 2023, Monaghan County Council commissioned DHB Architects to prepare design proposals for the refurbishment of the building. References

Carrick-on-Suir Town Hall

Carrick-on-Suir Town Hall (Irish: Halla an Bhaile Carraig na Siúire) is a municipal building in New Street, Carrick-on-Suir, County Tipperary, Ireland. The building accommodated the offices of Carrick-on-Suir Town Council until 2014 but is now used by Tipperary County Council for the provision of services to local residents. History The first municipal building in Carrick-on-Suir was a four-storey square tower in West Gate known as The Tholsel, which was completed in around 1500. An octagonal roof lantern was added in around 1750, and a clock was added in 1784. The current building was commissioned as a mechanics' institute. It was financed by public subscription and the committee supervising the project was chaired by John Ponsonby, 4th Earl of Bessborough whose seat was at Bessborough House. It was designed by Thomas Anthony in the neoclassical style, built in brick with a cement render finish, and was completed in around 1844. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of five bays facing onto New Street. The central bay featured a short flight of steps leading up to a segmental headed doorway. The building was fenestrated by round headed windows in the other bays on the ground floor, and by sash windows with window sills on the first floor. There were rendered panels below the first-floor windows. The central bay was flanked by full-height Doric order columns and the outer bays were flanked by full-height Doric order pilasters all supporting an entablature, prominent eaves and a central moulded pediment. Following the appointment of town commissioners in the mid-19th century, the building was converted into offices for their use in 1866. In 1899, the town commissioners were replaced by an urban district council, with the building becoming the offices of the new council. The building became an important venue for public meetings: the Irish nationalist, Constance Markievicz, gave a talk about the Easter Rising to a packed audience in the town hall in November 1917. A limited refurbishment of the building was carried out in the 1970s. It 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 2014, the council was dissolved and administration of the town was amalgamated with Tipperary County Council in accordance with the Local Government Reform Act 2014. A major programme of refurbishment works, which involved the construction of a new glazed entrance façade, to the north of the existing structure, as well as a new three-storey extension behind it, was carried out by Tom O'Brien Construction at a cost of €2.4 million, to a design by Deaton Lysaght Architects, and completed in March 2019. A new business hub was also included in the enlarged complex. References

Church of the Immaculate Conception, Tallow

The Church of the Immaculate Conception, Tallow is a Catholic church in the parish of Tallow, County Waterford. It is listed in the Record of Protected Structures maintained by Waterford City and County Council. Its grounds include a large cemetery. It was built on the site of an earlier church in 1826, with its construction being led by Fr. Denis O'Donnell, who was parish priest in Tallow from 1812 until his death in 1830. He celebrated the first mass held in the new church on 24 November 1827. In 1868 a bell tower and front porch was added. A spire with a cross at its summit initially adorned the tower, however this was removed some time after 1930. Ahead of the church's' bicentenary, in 2024 a major renovation project was launched to secure the integrity of the building. Phase 1 of the project, costing €133,000, was finished in early 2025 and involved the restoration of the church's north face, addressing water ingress which had caused damage to the interior's Italian-painted frescoes. Phase 2 of the project will involve repairs to the bell tower. It is estimated that the total cost of the project will be €1.4 million over five years.

Kościół Różańca Świętego w Greystones

Kościół Różańca Świętego w Greystones – rzymskokatolicki kościół parafialny zlokalizowany w irlandzkim mieście Greystones (aglomeracja dublińska). Należy do archidiecezji dublińskiej. Historia i architektura W 1894 Patrick Boland zaproponował budowę kościoła w Greystones. W 1895 kościół otrzymał działkę od mieszkańca miasta, LaTouche, z przeznaczeniem pod budowę świątyni. Metalowa kaplica z elementów prefabrykowanych poświęcona Matce Bożej Różańcowej, została wkrótce zbudowana, jednak w 1903 zniszczyła ją gwałtowna burza. Na jej miejscu, ze środków mieszkańca miasta, Kinlena, zbudowano nową, drewnianą, a w latach 1903-1904 wzniesiono obecny kościół w stylu neoromańskim. Użytkowano go mimo braku wykończenia, a oficjalne otwarcie nastąpiło w 1909 (parafia powstała tu rok wcześniej). Dom parafialny wzniesiono już w 1886. Witraże przedstawiają Dobrego Pasterza i Matkę Bożą Różańcową. Są one dziełem Evie Hone (1894–1955), w 1937 nawróconej na katolicyzm i pochodzą z 1948. Evie Hone wraz z Mainie Jellett były pierwszymi artystkami, które wprowadziły do ​​Irlandii motywy kubistyczne, widoczne także w jej pracach w Greystones.

St Luke's Church, Douglas

St Luke's Church is a Church of Ireland (Anglican) church in Douglas in Cork, Ireland. Built c. 1875 on the site of an earlier 18th-century church, it is dedicated to Luke the Evangelist. Originally a chapel of ease for the parish of Carrigaline, population growth led to Douglas being made a parish in its own right. It is part of the Douglas Union of Parishes, in the Diocese of Cork, Cloyne and Ross. The church is included in the Record of Protected Structures maintained by Cork City Council. History Originally constructed in 1786 as a chapel of ease to Carrigaline, by 1875 Douglas had experienced population growth to the extent that Douglas was made a separate parish. A new church was completed, on the site the original 18th-century chapel, and was consecrated that same year. The rebuilt church was designed by Cork engineer Osborne Cadwallader Edwards. In 1885, the nave was lengthened and a tower and spire were added, designed by William Henry Hill. Sir John Arnott and Dr Richard Caulfield are among those interred in St Luke's graveyard. A plaque to Hugh Lane, the Cork-born director of the National Gallery of Ireland who died in the Sinking of the Lusitania, was erected in the church by his sister in 1915. Architecture The 19th century building was designed by Osborne Cadwallader Edwards. The church is cruciform, and its transepts have projected gable-fronted porches. The broached hexagonal spire is built with ashlar limestone. Some of the building's stained glass windows were designed by William Burges, and the church's pipe organ is attributed to the JJ Binns company of Leeds.
