Crawford Art Gallery

The Crawford Art Gallery (Irish: Áiléar Crawford) is a public art gallery and museum in the city of Cork, Ireland. Known informally as the Crawford, it was designated a 'National Cultural Institution' in 2006. It is "dedicated to the visual arts, both historic and contemporary", and welcomed 265,438 visitors in 2019. The gallery is named after William Horatio Crawford. History The Crawford is based in the centre of Cork in what used to be the Cork Customs House, built in 1724. The Customs House became home to the Royal Cork Institution (RCI) in the 1830s, and the RCI was involved in opening the Cork School of Design on the site in 1850. In the early 1880s, the Cork School of Design was extended with funds and patronage from members of the Crawford family, who were local landowners and brewers. For this reason the school was renamed as the Crawford School of Art in 1885. In 1979, the art school transferred to another site, and the Crawford building used primarily as a gallery and museum. The museum buildings were substantially extended in 2000. Collections Among the earliest acquisitions in the gallery's collection are casts of classical Greek and Roman statues by Antonio Canova. These were brought to Cork from the Vatican in 1818. The Royal Cork Institution acquired these works from the Society of Fine Arts in Cork, who had been given the casts by the Prince Regent (later George IV of the United Kingdom). He in turn had received them from Pope Pius VII, who had commissioned Antonio Canova to make a set of plasters from statues in the Vatican. Among the works are casts of the Belvedere Torso, Apollo Belvedere and Laocoön and His Sons. Due to the gallery's association with the Cork School of Art (later known as the Crawford College of Art and Design), some items in the museum collection are by staff and students of the school. These include works by James Brenan (who was headmaster of the school from 1860 to 1889) and students such as Henry Jones Thaddeus and William Gerard Barry. Other items in the collection include works by sculptors such as John Hogan and Eilis O'Connell, stained-glass artists like Harry Clarke and Evie Hone, painters including William Orpen (a student of James Brenan), Jack B. Yeats, and Nano Reid, as well as photographer Bob Carlos Clarke. The gallery hosts education and outreach programmes, and manages temporary and travelling exhibitions. Redevelopment In March 2023 planning permission was granted for the redevelopment of the gallery. If completed as proposed, the redevelopment would increase the size of the gallery by 1,919 square metres (20,660 sq ft) and involve the refurbishment and reconfiguration of 3,641 square metres (39,190 sq ft) of existing space. The works, which include the reorientation of the gallery to face Emmet Place, are scheduled to begin in Autumn 2024.

Crescent Arts Centre

The Crescent Arts Centre (or simply The Crescent) is an arts centre based in Belfast, Northern Ireland, founded in 1980. The centre hosts a wide range of arts and entertainment events, as well as classes in dance, music, verbal and visual arts, and community outreach programmes. Its facilities include a dance studio named after its late patron, the choreographer and Holocaust survivor Helen Lewis. The centre is home to the annual June Belfast Book Festival. The Crescent is housed in the former Victoria College on University Road in the Queens Conservation Area. The current patron of the centre is Paul Muldoon. Refurbishment The Victorian-era listed building was extensively refurbished between 2008 and 2010. In September 2008, then Minister of Culture Arts and Leisure, Gregory Campbell, announced the awarding of capital funding to allow refurbishment of the University Road site to get underway. The total cost would be £7.2million. The Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure provided £4.5million; the Arts Council of Northern Ireland £1.45million; the Heritage Lottery Fund £447,000; and the then Environment and Heritage Service £525,900. The Crescent itself contributed £236,000 and has appointed fundraising consultants to raise the rest. References

Criminal Courts of Justice, Dublin

The Criminal Courts of Justice (Irish: Na Cúirteanna Breithiúnais Coiriúla) is the principal courts building for the criminal courts in Ireland. It stands on the corner of Parkgate Street and Infirmary Road, near the Phoenix Park. History The court building, which officially opened in January 2010, replaced the Four Courts and other buildings as the location for most criminal matters before the Dublin Metropolitan District Court and Dublin Circuit Court. The complex also houses the regular sittings of the Central Criminal Court, Special Criminal Court and is home to the criminal division of the Court of Appeal. The Four Courts and Green Street Court House are still used for civil cases. In a change from previous older courts buildings in Ireland, the building has facilities to hold up to 100 prisoners in the basement, with separate entrances for each court. Jurors are also based in a separate part of the building with their own court entrances after being empanelled, in order to keep them separate from the public. Victims and victim support organisations also have use of a suite of rooms. The building contains rooms for 150 barristers as well as offices for Gardaí, the Director of Public Prosecutions, Probation Service, Law Society of Ireland, judges' chambers, press rooms and court administration. The building is owned by International Public Partnerships, a London listed fund managed by Amber Infrastructure Partners under a 25 year concession from April 2007. Gallery References
Crom Estate

The Crom Estate (, Irish: An Chrom) is a nature reserve located in the south-east of County Fermanagh in Northern Ireland, along the shores of Upper Lough Erne. It is one of three estates owned and managed by the National Trust in County Fermanagh, the others being Florence Court and Castle Coole. The estate comprises 1,350 acres (5.5 km2), composed primarily of riparian forest. Some trees are so ancient that physical access is restricted. Almost all of the current estate is located just inside the boundaries of the Barony of Coole (the island of Inisherk, part of the Crom Castle Demesne, being in the neighbouring Barony of Knockninny). On 7 May 2026, it was officially announced on Evening Extra on BBC Radio Ulster that Springwatch 2026 would be based at the Crom Estate. This will be the first time that Springwatch has been based in Northern Ireland, and the first time that the programme has been based anywhere outside of the island of Great Britain. Features The estate is open to the public for recreational activities and weddings. The ruins of the old castle, a bowling green and garden are tourist attractions. Several cottages are available to rent on the estate. History Like many country estates in Ulster, the first house at Crom was built by a Scottish Planter at the beginning of the 17th century. In 1611, as part of the Plantation of Ulster, Michael Balfour, the Laird of Mountwhinney, constructed a house on the lough shore opposite Inishfendra Island. Following the usual pattern for a Plantation castle, it was built of lime and stone and enclosed within a bawn. The castle was invaded twice by Jacobites before it was burnt down in the early 1760s. The ruins of this castle still survive today. In 1840 a new neo-Tudor Crom Castle was built, designed by Scottish architect Edward Blore. It remains the private property of the 7th Earl of Erne and is not open to the public. The estate was given to the National Trust by the 6th Earl of Erne (often known as Harry Erne) in 1987. The Crom Estate was the location of a great Classic yacht and steamboat regatta in August 2010 when the races of the 1890s were recreated in Trial bay using Norfork Broads One-Designs (brown boats), Lough Erne Fairies, Fife One Designs from Anglesey, and a pair of Colleens. Racing took place on Upper Lough Erne within sight of the castle, and the boats moored each evening off the boathouse in Crom Bay.

Crown Liquor Saloon

The Crown Liquor Saloon, also known as the Crown Bar, is a pub in Great Victoria Street in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Refurbished in 1885, and at least twice since, it is an outstanding example of a Victorian gin palace, and one of Northern Ireland's best-known pubs. It is owned by the National Trust and is leased to Mitchells & Butlers who run it as a Nicholson's pub. History Opened by Felix O'Hanlon as The Railway Tavern, the pub was then bought by Michael Flanagan. Flanagan's son Patrick renamed and renovated it in 1885. The Crown owes its elaborate tiling, stained glass and woodwork to the Italian craftsmen whom Flanagan persuaded to work on the pub after hours. These craftsmen were brought to Ireland to work on the many new churches being built in Belfast at the time. It was this high standard of work that gave the Crown the reputation of being one of the finest Victorian gin palaces of its time. In 1978, the National Trust, following persuasion by people including Sir John Betjeman, purchased the property and three years later completed a £400,000 renovation to restore the bar to its original Victorian state. Further restoration by the National Trust was done in 2007 at a cost of £500,000. This work is the subject of a BBC Northern Ireland documentary, The Crown Jewel, screened in 2008. A recognisable landmark of Belfast, The Crown has featured as a location in numerous film and television productions, such as David Caffrey's Divorcing Jack (1998) and Carol Reed's classic 1947 film Odd Man Out. The Crown has been given a Grade A Listed Building status by the Environment and Heritage Service. Features The exterior is decorated in polychromatic tiles. This includes a mosaic of a Crown on the floor of the entrance. The interior is also decorated with complex mosaics of tiles. The red granite topped bar is of an altar style, with a heated footrest underneath and is lit by gas lamps on the highly decorative carved ceilings. The Crown has ten booths, or snugs. Built to accommodate the pub's more reserved customers during the austere Victorian period, the snugs feature the original gun metal plates for striking matches and an antique bell system for alerting staff. Extra privacy was then afforded by the pub's etched and stained glass windows which feature painted shells, fairies, pineapples, fleurs-de-lis and clowns.

Crumlin Road Courthouse

The Crumlin Road Courthouse is a former judicial facility on Crumlin Road in Belfast, Northern Ireland. It is a Grade B+ listed building. History The building, which was designed by the architect, Charles Lanyon, in the Neoclassical style, was completed in 1850. It was built just across the road from the Crumlin Road Gaol which had opened a few years earlier and to which it was connected by an underground passage. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with fifteen bays facing onto Crumlin Road; the central section featured a hexastyle portico with Corinthian order columns supporting an entablature and a pediment containing the Royal coat of arms. A sculpture representing justice by William Boyton Kirk was installed at the apex of the pediment. 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 meeting place for Antrim County Council. The building was enlarged to the designs of architects, Young and Mackenzie, in 1906. In the 1960s, county leaders decided that the courthouse was too cramped to accommodate the county council in the context of the county council's increasing administrative responsibilities, especially while the courthouse was still acting as a facility for dispensing justice, and therefore chose to move to new premises at County Hall in Ballymena in 1970. Pending the opening of the Laganside Courts Complex, judicial hearings were temporarily transferred to other courts to allow the Crumlin Road Courthouse to close in June 1998. The Crumlin Road Courthouse was sold to local investor Barry Gilligan in September 2003 for £1. His plans for the courthouse included redeveloping it as a tourist attraction and a hotel. The courthouse suffered significant damage in a fire on 12 March 2009 and in two fires in August 2009. After the former Crumlin Road Gaol building directly across the road became a visitor attraction in November 2012, there was extensive discussion about as to how the area could be regenerated. In March 2017, Lawrence Kenwright, from the Signature Living Group, bought the courthouse site and announced plans to convert the building into a hotel. The building was further damaged in yet another large fire on 1 June 2020. In 2024, the courthouse was purchased by property developer and Donegal Orange Order Grand Master, David Mahon. Potential new uses reportedly include a hotel or a hospital. The building is pending redevelopment. References External links Media related to Crumlin Road Courthouse at Wikimedia Commons
Cullahill Castle

Cullahill Castle (auch Cullohill Castle, irisch Caisleán na Cúlchoille) ist die Ruine eines Tower House auf einem Hügel beim Dorf Cullahill (An Chúlchoill, „der Hinterwald“) im irischen County Laois. Die Niederungsburg war die wichtigste Festung der McGillapatricks. Geschichte Finghin Mac Giolla Pádraig ließ die Burg um 1425 errichten. Quellen zeigen, dass Cullahill Castle öfters auf Geheiß des englischen Königs Heinrich VI. vom „Herrscher und den Bürgern von Kilkenny“ angegriffen wurde. Solche Angriffe sind in den Jahren 1441 und 1517 verzeichnet. Um 1650 wurde die Burg von Cromwells Truppen angegriffen und teilweise zerstört. Sie kam vermutlich unter Kanonenfeuer von einem nahegelegenen Hügel. Seit 1657 gilt sie als „ruinös und unbewohnt“. Beschreibung Cullahill Castle ist ein Tower House mit fünf Stockwerken. Der größte Teil der Nordfassade, einschließlich des Eingangs, fehlt. Das Erdgeschoss hat eine Gewölbedecke und in den Außenmauern gibt es Geheimgänge und -räume. Eine gerade Treppe führt innerhalb der Mauer zu den oberen Stockwerken. In den Obergeschossen findet man Reste von gekuppelten Fenstern. An der Außenwand, hinter dem Kamin, ist eine Sheela-na-Gig angebracht. Auf der anderen Straßenseite liegt die Ruine der Burgkapelle, einer Privatkapelle der katholischen Herren von Upper Ossory.

Cullahill Castle

Cullahill Castle was the principal stronghold of the MacGillapatricks of Upper Ossory built around 1425 and destroyed around 1650. Cullahill Castle takes its name from an ancient forest that covered Cullahill Mountain and extended down to Cullahill village. Location In the village of Cullahill in County Laois, Ireland. Approximately 100 metres out on the road up the nearby hill that gives the area its name. History Built around 1425, probably by Finghin MacGillapatrick Reportedly came under attack on several occasions by the "sovereign and citizens of Kilkenny" under reward from King Henry VI. Such attacks were reported in 1441 and 1517. It was attacked and partially destroyed by Cromwell's forces around 1650. It was probably attacked by cannon from a nearby hill. It was recorded as "ruinous and uninhabitated" in 1657. Structure It is a tower-house rising to five storeys. Most of the northern portion, including the doorway, is missing. It is vaulted above the ground floor and has mural passages and chambers. A straight mural stairway rises to the upper levels. There are remains of mullioned windows at the higher floors of the castle. The castle has a Sheela na Gig mounted on the outer wall behind the chimney. Across the road lies the ruins of its chapel which was the private chapel of the Catholic lords of Upper Ossory.

Castello di Cullahill

Il castello di Cullahill è un castello ubicato a Cullahill, nella contea di Laois in Irlanda. Storia Il castello di Cullahill fu eretto intorno al 1425, con ogni probabilità per iniziativa di Finghin MacGillapatrick, diventando la principale roccaforte della famiglia nel territorio dell'Upper Ossory. Tra il XV e il XVI secolo venne più volte attaccato dai cittadini e dal sovrano di Kilkenny, i quali agivano su ricompensa del re Enrico VI d'Inghilterra: i principali attacchi si registrarono nel 1441 e nel 1517. Nel 1650, durante la conquista d'Irlanda da parte di Oliver Cromwell, il castello venne bombardato con cannoni, presumibilmente da una collina adiacente, causando la parziale distruzione dell'edificio. Nel 1657 veniva descritto come fatiscente e disabitato. Descrizione La struttura è una casatorre a pianta quadrata, sviluppata originariamente su cinque piani. La parte settentrionale e il portale d'ingresso dell'edificio risultano crollati, mentre degli interni si conservano una copertura a volta sopra il piano terra, alcune stanze minori e passaggi di collegamento, tra cui una scala che conduceva ai livelli superiori; ai piani più alti sono visibili i resti di bifore. Di interesse storico e artistico è la presenza di una Sheela na Gig inserita nella parete esterna dietro la canna fumaria. Sul lato opposto della strada si trovano i resti della cappella privata, un tempo riservata ai signori cattolici dell'Upper Ossory.

Замок Каллахіл

Замок Каллахілл (англ. Cullahill Castle, ірл. Caisleán an Chúlchoill) — замок Хулхойл — один із замків Ірландії, розташований в графстві Леїш. Замок був головною твердинею клану Мак Гіллапатрік з Верхнього Оссорі. Замок був побудований в 1425 році. Замок був зруйнований в 1650 році під час придушення повстання за незалежність Ірландії Олівером Кромвелем. Замок стоїть в селищі Каллахілл, в 100 м від дороги, на вершині пагорба, що дав ім'я замку та селищу. Історія замку Каллахілл Замок побудований в 1425 році вождем клану Мак Гіллпатрік — Фінганом Мак Гіллпатріком. Замок кілка разів зазнавав нападів «суверена та громадян графства Кілкенні». Ці напади були здійснені за винагороду короля Англії Генріха VI, що намагався завоювати непокірні ірландські клани. Ці атаки були здійснені в 1441 та в 1517 роках — вже в часи короля Англії Генріха VIII, але щоразу замок витримував напади. У 1640 році спалахнуло повстання за незалежність Ірландії. Олівер Кромвель втопив це повстання в крові. Замок контролювали повстанці — збройні сили Ірландської конфедерації. Армія Олівера Кромвеля в 1650 році розташувала артилерію на сусідньому пагорбі і нещадно замок обстрілювала. Замок був зруйнований. У 1657 році повідомляли, що замок Каллахілл зруйнований і нежилий. Вежа замку Каллахілл піднімається на висоти п'яти поверхів. Більша частина північної стіни, включаючи вхід до замку, зруйнована. Над рівнем першого поверху склепіння, залишки кімнат. Є кам'яні сходи, що ведуть на верхні поверхи. На верхніх поверхах збереглися вікна. На зовнішній стіні замку є скульптура — Шела на Гіг. Шела на Гіг це скульптура жінки з потворним обличчям і гіпертрофованими статевими органами. Такі скільптури зображали на замках Ірландії для захисту від злих сил. Біля замку є каплиця католицьких володарів Верхнього Оссорі. Джерела Carrigan, William (1905). The history and antiquities of the diocese of Ossory (Volume 2). Sealy, Bryers & Walker. pp. 231—233.
