Curraghkippane Cemetery

Curraghkippane Cemetery or Currykippane Cemetery (Irish: Reilig Churrach Cheapáin), also known as St Mary's Cemetery, is a cemetery in Clogheen in the Kerry Pike area west of Cork in Ireland. The cemetery site, in use since at least the medieval period, overlooks Carrigrohane and the western part of Cork city, the River Lee valley, and the eastern part of Ballincollig. The Curraghkippane name is a metonymy, as its meaning used to apply to the entire area on the hill, but was reduced to refer to the cemetery alone. The wider area, including the townland to the east inclusive of the cemetery, has been thereafter referred to as Mount Desert. There are ruins of an old church on the cemetery, of which only the eastern gable and traces of a ringfort surrounding the structure remain. An ancient church at the site can be traced to 13th century, and it may have been destroyed and reduced to the current ruin as early as 17th century. The first headstones are believed to have been erected in 1730, and among those buried in the graveyard are Edward O'Callaghan, a lieutenant of the British Navy who died in 1808, and Jerome Collins, an arctic explorer and meteorologist from Cork who died in 1881 but was buried only much later in 1884. While most headstones in Curraghkippane, as in many old graveyards, face east, that of Collins with a large Celtic cross faces North to commemorate his ill-fated expedition to the North Pole. Collins's funeral is believed to be "the longest funeral in history", while anecdotally also the shortest one took place in the same cemetery when a sexton from the little cottage located within the area of the graveyard died and was taken out of the window to be buried just a few meters away. Also buried here is Gerald Goldberg, the first Jewish Lord Mayor of Cork. Soldiers from the World War I, patients from the old Cork mental hospital, some passengers from the sunken ship Lusitania, and people who donated their bodies to medical research, are also buried here. In 1885, the Cork Jewish Community purchased land adjacent to the old churchyard to consecrate for the Jewish Cemetery, and further expansion occurred in 1949. However, in the 1990s it became clear that the burial site would not be used fully, and the superfluous area was given to Cork County Council for the establishment of St Mary's Cemetery, Curraghkippane. Due to its location and history, the Curraghkippane graveyard has given inspiration to several songs and poems. References
Penrose House

Penrose House is a historic building in Penrose Quay, Cork, Ireland. Built in neoclassical style, it is prominently located on the northern bank of the River Lee. Penrose House was designed by George R. Pain of the Pain brothers and the construction started in 1832. Built of granite and limestone, the five-bay structure has two storeys. Some of the façade elements, including a frieze and a bay to the right of the entrance, were added over the years, and many 19th century features have been preserved, including the sculpture of St. George defeating a dragon on the top of the portico, four marble columns, as well as timber carvings and staircase. Historic significance Historically the building served various maritime enterprises, including its first tenant St. George Steam Packet Company founded in 1825, the City of Cork Steam Packet Company, and the southern headquarters of B&I Steam Company, and among other things tickets for emigrant transatlantic journeys on ocean liners were sold there. Because of its role and first tenants, the building was long referred to as the "Steampacket Office". Marine vessels, including large ones like one of the Innisfallen ships, would moor directly in front of the building. Modern development Penrose House was renovated in 1998. Windows were replaced, plasterwork repaired, and the facade painted in white. Following a period of rentals to various commercial and non-profit tenants, the building with its 10,000 sq. ft. letting area was put up on sale on a private market in 1999 with the expectation of gaining prominence due to the planned development at the nearby Horgan's Quay. The building was sold in 2000 for close to 1 million pounds. Following approval by the Cork City Council in 2018, in the early 2020s commercial development was carried out in the areas within the curtilage of the protected historic building. Modern office buildings, named Penrose Dock, were raised in the direct vicinity of Penrose House, dominating over it from western and northern side. The concerns that the buildings would make the Penrose House appear "diminutive and insignificant" were dismissed. The architects Wilson Architecture who won an international architecture award for the two new blocks adjacent to Penrose House, also oversaw conservation and renovation of the historic building which is said to have served as an inspiration in the designing of the new blocks. Work on the rear portion including installing of insulation and floors while retaining old stone and brick finishes, and roof beams. Modern lighting, heating, air conditioning and lifts were installed. Penrose House itself also gained new high-profile tenants, including real-estate company Savills. References
Dolmen of the Four Maols

Der Dolmen of the Four Maols („Dolmen der vier Maols“, irisch Ard na Maol – (deutsch „Höhe der Maols“), auch „Cloghogle“, irisch Cloch Tógála (deutsch „Stein der Erhebung“)) steht am Stadtrand über Ballina im County Mayo in Irland. Unter den irischen Megalithanlagen ist die Lage des Dolmens auf dem höchsten Punkt der Gegend ungewöhnlich. Der River Moy liegt weniger als einen Kilometer entfernt. Die Anlage wurde beschädigt, so dass eine Klassifizierung nicht möglich ist. Überlebt haben drei Tragsteine mit Höhen von 0,75 m bis 1,1 m, die einen übergroßen 0,6 m dicken Deckstein tragen. Ein anderer großer Stein liegt vier Meter entfernt. Der Bau ist wahrscheinlich ein Teil einer größeren nord-süd gerichteten Anlage. Legende Eine Hinweistafel am Standort erzählt im Zusammenhang mit dem Dolmen, von der Erzählung Caithréim Cellaig („die Laufbahn Cellachs“). Cellach mac Eógain, der Sohn von Eógan Bél, König von Connacht, war Mönch in Clonmacnoise. Nach dem Tod seines Vaters trat er zunächst das Erbe an. Von seinem Rivalen Guaire Aidne bedrängt, verzichtet er jedoch zugunsten seines Bruders Muiredach (Cú Choingelt) auf den Thron, wurde Bischof von Kilmoremoy (Cill Mhór Mhuaidhe), dem heutigen Ballina und wertvoller Ratgeber seines Bruders Muiredach. Die vier engsten Gefährten von Guaires, die sogenannten „vier Maols“ (neuirisch maol = kahl, mittelirisch mael: Mael Cróin, Mael Seanaig, Mael Dá Lua und Mael Deóraid, eigtl. Mac Deóraid) ermordeten ihn auf Geheiß Guaires. Muiredach rächte ihn und ließ sie hinrichten. Sie wurden zum Ardnaree Hill (Ard na Ria), dem Hügel der Hinrichtung gebracht. Ardnaree liegt auf der anderen Seite des River Moy. Nachdem die Maols gehängt waren, wurden ihre Leichen durch einen geheimen Tunnel unter dem Fluss Moy auf den Primrose Hill gebracht und in dem Dolmen, der ihren Namen trägt, begraben. Muiredach wurde schließlich von Guaire erschlagen und dieser wurde König.

Dolmen of the Four Maols

The Dolmen of the Four Maols is a cist and National Monument located in County Mayo, Ireland. Location The Dolmen of the Four Maols is located on Primrose Hill overlooking the River Moy, southwest of Ballina, outside the Road Safety Authority office. History This cist was erected c. 2000 BC. According to Irish legend, in the early 7th century Guaire Aidne mac Colmáin was King of Connacht. The rightful king, Cellach of Killala, had become a priest and later bishop of Kilmoremoy (Ballina). Four of Guaire Aidne's brothers murdered him; they are known as the four Maols from the Irish word maol, "bald", referring to their tonsures – they were students of Cellach's (Mael Mac Deoraidh, Maelcroin, Maeldalua, and Maelseanaigh). The four Maols were quartered at Ardnaree and then, supposedly, buried on Primrose Hill under the Dolmen of the Four Maols. Description The massive capstone rests on three stones forming three sides of the square chamber. A fourth stone (probably the fourth side) lies nearby. References
Dolmen von Kilmogue

Der Dolmen von Kilmogue (auch Leac an Scail – „Stein eines Kriegers“ oder „Harristown dolmen“ genannt; nicht zu verwechseln mit dem Entrance Grave von Harristown) ist das höchste Portal Tomb in der Republik Irland und nach Goward im County Down in Nordirland, das zweitgrößte auf der Insel. Es steht bei Pilltown bzw. Mullinavat im County Kilkenny, westlich des Weilers Harristown. Als Portal Tombs werden auf den Britischen Inseln Megalithanlagen bezeichnet, bei denen zwei gleich hohe, aufrecht stehende Steine mit einem Türstein dazwischen, die Vorderseite einer Kammer bilden, die mit einem zum Teil gewaltigen Deckstein bedeckt ist. Nicht zu verwechseln mit dem gleichnamigen Passage Tomb im County Waterford. Die beiden etwa 3,7 m aufragenden Portalsteine stützen einen typisch geformten, hier etwa vier Meter langen Deckstein, dessen hinteres Ende nicht wie üblich auf dem Endstein ruht, sondern auf einem Kissenstein. Im Zugang, der im Nordosten liegt, steht ein fast drei Meter hoher Türstein. Ein Menhir steht auf demselben Feld. In der Nähe liegt das Passage Tomb von Harristown, eine ganglose Kammer im randsteingefassten Rundhügel, das abgesehen von der nur für Passage Tombs typischen Lage im Rundhügel, eher an ein Wedge Tomb erinnert.

Kilmogue Portal Tomb

Kilmogue Portal Tomb, also called Leac an Scail, is a dolmen (portal tomb) and National Monument located in County Kilkenny, Ireland. Location Kilmogue Portal Tomb stands on the eastern slopes of Brown Mountain, 7.2 km (4.5 mi) northeast of Mullinavat. History Most dolmens were built c. 3000 BC, i.e. in the Neolithic. They may not have been graves; their exact purpose is unknown. The name "Kilmogue" derives its name from the Irish Cill Mhóg, likely a church founded by or named for St. Mogue. Another name is Leac an Scail, "the hero's stone." Scal literally means "burst", and scal ghréine (sunburst) is used to refer to the mythological warriors the Fianna. This could also be Leac an Scáil meaning "the stone of the shadow or ghost" or "the phantom's stone". Description The dolmen is constructed of granite with quartz veins, using a large capstone resting on two large portal stones and a pillow stone resting on a backstone. The entrance faces northeast, i.e. towards the summer solstice sunrise, and has a door-stone. References
Westport Town Hall Theatre

Westport Town Hall Theatre (Irish: Amharclann Halla an Bhaile Cathair na Mart), formerly Westport Town Hall (Irish: Halla an Bhaile Cathair na Mart), is a community events venue in The Octagon, Westport, County Mayo, Ireland. History The building commissioned by Canon Michael McDonald, as a community events venue for the town. He bought a late 18th century private house known as Octagon House, on the east side of The Octagon, for the purpose. The building was designed in the neoclassical style, built in brick and was completed in 1903. The design involved an asymmetrical main frontage of the three bays facing onto The Octagon. It featured a round headed doorway with a canopy and a fanlight in the right hand bay, and sash windows in the two bays to the left. On the first floor, there was a central French door flanked by two sash windows and a wide balcony extending almost the full width of the building while, on the second floor, there were three small square windows. The structure was surmounted by a hipped roof. During the Irish Civil War, the building became the headquarters of the pro-treaty forces commanded by Brigadier-General Joe Ring in July 1922. The troops billeted there shot off the head of the statue of the banker, George Clendining, in the middle of The Octagon, during their defence of the town. Ring was killed by anti-treaty forces in a guerilla attack during the battle of Ox Mountains a few months later. After the war, the town hall continued to serve as a venue for public events, such as a performance of the comic opera, The Mikado, produced by the Westport Musical Society in May 1938. In 1966, on the 50th anniversary of the Easter Rising, the Minister for Social Welfare, Kevin Boland, visited Westport and inspected a guard of honour outside the town hall. Some improvements to the town hall was carried out in 1973 but, by 2008, the building had become very dilapidated. An extensive programme of refurbishment works, intended to create a 225-seat auditorium, was subsequently implemented. After completion of the works, which cost €3.2 million and were financed by Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Mayo County Council, the South West Mayo Development Company and Fáilte Ireland, the building was officially re-opened by the Minister of State for Tourism and Sport, Michael Ring, in June 2015. Since then, it has hosted a series of concerts and theatrical performances. References
Dominic’s Abbey Cashel

Die Dominic’s Abbey (auch: Dominican Friary, irisch Mainistir Dhoiminiceach Chaisil) ist ein ehemaliges Kloster in Irland. Geschichte Das Klostergelände von Dominic’s Abbey liegt südwestlich des berühmten Rock of Cashel, des irischen kirchlichen Zentrums im Hochmittelalter, inmitten der Stadt Cashel (heute County Tipperary). Das Kloster wurde 1243 von Erzbischof David McKelly gegründet und die Klosterkirche nach deren Fertigstellung dem hl. Dominik geweiht. In seine neue Gründung holte Erzbischof McKelly Dominikanerbrüder aus deren Friary in Cork. In den Jahren 1289 and 1307 hielt der irische Dominikanerorden hier seine Generalversammlungen ab. Die Klosterkirche wurde um 1270 um ein südliches Seitenschiff erweitert. 1480 erfolgte eine grundlegende Renovierung nach einem verheerenden Brand durch Erzbischof John Cantwell. Vermutlich wurde zu dieser Zeit der Vierungsturm hinzugefügt. Die Klosterruine ist heute ständig verschlossen, die Besichtigung ist jedoch möglich. Die Schlüssel zur Pforte sind in einem Nachbarhaus leihweise erhältlich. Literatur Harbison, Peter: Guide to the National Monuments in the Republic of Ireland, Dublin 1970, S. 225.

St.Dominic's Abbey (Cashel)

St. Dominic's Abbey (Iers: Mainistir Dhoiminiceach Chaisil) is een voormalig klooster in de stad Cashel in Ierland, ten zuidwesten van de Rock of Cashel, het centrum van het kerkelijke Ierland in de middeleeuwen. Geschiedenis Het klooster werd in 1243 door aartsbisschop David McKelly gesticht en de kerk werd na haar voltooiing toegewijd aan de H. Dominicus. Er werden dominicaanse broeders uit Cork overgebracht. In het jaar 1289 en 1307 werd het kapittel van de dominicanen hier gehouden. De kerk werd al in 1270 uitgebreid. In 1480 volgde een grondige renovatie na een verwoestende brand. De vieringtoren dateert wellicht van toen. Het klooster werd opgeheven in 1540, maar werd later nog door dominicanen bewoond, tot in de 19e eeuw.

Rushmere Shopping Centre

Rushmere Shopping Centre (formerly known as the Craigavon Shopping Centre or the Craigavon Centre) is a shopping centre and retail park in Craigavon, County Armagh, Northern Ireland. Opened in 1976, the centre is one of the oldest and the third largest shopping centre in Northern Ireland, behind Belfast's Victoria Square and Derry's Foyleside, at over 350,000 sq ft, although combined with the retail park makes it over 480,000 sq ft. The anchor tenants of the centre is Primark and Lidl, while the retail park's anchors are B&M and Matalan. History On 21 September 1976, Rushmere opened to the public as the Craigavon Shopping Centre, and the anchor tenants were Dunnes Stores and Crazy Prices along with stores such as Marley Homecare and Eason. In 1998, the Craigavon Shopping Centre reopened as Rushmere as part of a major expansion which saw a Sainsbury's and Tesco store open, the latter replacing Crazy Prices due to their buyout in 1997. The expansion also introduced a retail park with retailers Homebase, Matalan, Index and JJB Sports. The site was expanded again in 2004 with Debenhams opening as the main tenant in a 150,000 sq ft extension of the centre on October 21, and again in 2018 with Nando's and Five Guys opening. In January 2011, Tesco closed its doors to move to a much larger store near the centre. The unit was later subdivided into two units, with the units being occupied by Home Bargains and Discount NI, which left Debenhams and Sainsbury's as the remaining anchors. During the early 2020s, Rushmere had a major drop in footfall and tenants resulting in the closures of Topshop, Five Guys, a mixed Dorothy Perkins and Burton store, Debenhams and Sainsbury's, this was mainly due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022, the company which owned Rushmere, Moyallen Holdings Limited (which also owned the nearby Magowan West in Portadown and Victoria Place in Woking) was placed into administration, Killahoey Ltd bought the struggling shopping centre from the company later in 2023. In the same year, Primark opened on the ground floor of the former Debenhams. In 2023, Rushmere began a redevelopment scheme to enhance the shopping experience, with a complete facelift to the centre, new stores, a slight expansion, a new slip road and a subdivision of the former Sainsbury's supermarket into multiple stores. A new Lidl supermarket opened in the former Sainsbury's petrol station on 18 June 2026. Stores and Entertainment The shopping complex includes 70+ stores such as Argos, Boots, Dunnes Stores, JD Sports, Mango, New Look, Primark, Schuh, Søstrene Grene, TK Maxx and Waterstones, and eateries/cafes such as Caffè Nero, McDonald's and Nando's.
