Lisheen Mine

Lisheen Mine is a former lead-zinc-silver mine located between the villages of Moyne and Templetuohy in County Tipperary, Ireland. In the Rathdowney Trend, Lisheen was an underground mine where the Lisheen deposit lies at an average depth of 170 metres (560 feet) below surface. The mine closed in 2015. Accidents and incidents The Lisheen Mine had two fatal accidents within two years. The first was an explosion in April 2011, and the second occurred on 4 April 2013 when a roof collapsed. In each case, a man died. History The Lisheen Deposit was discovered in April 1990 by Murray Hitzman who at the time was working for Chevron. A full feasibility study was conducted by SRK, Kilborn, and Kelsey Engineering and development of the mine began in 1997. In September 1999 the first (production) ore was brought to the surface and in December the first shipment of Zinc concentrates departed from the Port of Cork. Lisheen was expected to produce approximately 4.83 million dry metric tonnes of zinc and lead concentrates over the estimated 14-year lifespan of the mine. The mine was accessed via a 1.5 kilometre long decline, at –15%, 6.3 metres wide by 5 metres high. Underground drilling rigs bore holes in the ore face, which were charged with explosives and fired. The resultant broken ore was removed by large Load Haul Dump (LHD) machines and loaded into trucks which transported the ore to the crusher. The ore was first emptied onto 'grizzly' bars which prevent oversized material from entering the crushing chamber before being fed into the underground crusher. Approximately 6,300 tonnes of ore-grade material was transported daily via a conveyor system from the mine to the surface where it was stored in a covered stockpile of approximately 12,000 tonnes live capacity prior to processing in the Concentrator plant. Following various process the concentrate was then trucked south to Cork for onward shipment to various customers. Until its closure, the mine was owned and operated by Vedanta Resources Zinc International, being acquired from Anglo American in 2011. In total, 22.4 million tonnes of ore were produced, at an average grade of 11.63% zinc, 1.96% lead and 26 ppm silver.

Lissadell House

Lissadell House – XIX-wieczna rezydencja położona w hrabstwie Sligo w północno-zachodniej Irlandii, w pobliżu miejscowości Carney, należąca historycznie do rodu Gore-Booth oraz związana z historią irlandzkiego ruchu niepodległościowego. Rezydencja została wzniesiona w 1832 roku dla rodziny Gore-Booth w stylu neoklasycystycznym i stanowi jeden z istotnych przykładów ziemiańskiej architektury Irlandii XIX wieku. Jej znaczenie historyczne wynika również z powiązań z irlandzką kulturą literacką, w szczególności z twórczością Williama Butlera Yeatsa. Historia W okresie klęski głodu właściciel majątku, sir Robert Gore-Booth, podejmował działania pomocowe wobec lokalnej ludności, m.in. poprzez rozdysponowanie żywności i zabezpieczanie mieszkańców przed skutkami klęski głodu. Rodzina Gore-Booth wydała kilka znaczących postaci życia publicznego i kulturalnego. W okresie swojej świetności była rezydencją Konstancji Gore-Booth, późniejszej hrabiny Constance Markievicz (żona Kazimierza Dunin-Markiewicza), działaczki niepodległościowej, członkini ruchu republikańskiego oraz pierwszej kobiety wybranej do brytyjskiej Izby Gmin. Mieszkała tam też Eva Gore-Booth, która angażowała się w działalność polityczną i uczestniczyły w powstaniu wielkanocnym w 1916 roku. Constance Markievicz została skazana przez władze brytyjskie na karę śmierci, która następnie została złagodzona, a po uzyskaniu niepodległości Irlandii objęła funkcję w pierwszym rządzie państwa jako minister pracy. Lissadell House pozostawał również miejscem spotkań środowisk artystycznych i intelektualnych. William Butler Yeats utrzymywał relacje z rodziną Gore-Booth, a szczególnie z Evą Gore-Booth, co znalazło odzwierciedlenie w jego działalności literackiej. Wielokrotnie odnosił się do Lissadell House w swojej poezji. Po II wojnie światowej majątek przeszedł pod nadzór państwa, co zapoczątkowało okres pogorszenia stanu rezydencji. W kolejnych dekadach pojawiały się spory dotyczące zarządzania obiektem oraz jego własności, a część wyposażenia została sprzedana na aukcjach w 2003 roku. W XX i na początku XXI wieku posiadłość uległa znacznemu pogorszeniu stanu technicznego. W 2003 roku została zakupiona przez rodzinę Cassidy, która podjęła działania mające na celu jej restaurację oraz udostępnienie obiektu dla zwiedzających. Obecnie znajduje się w stanie częściowego zaniedbania. Przypisy

Loreto Abbey, Dalkey

Loreto Abbey Dalkey is a Catholic secondary school for girls, under the auspices of the Sisters of Loreto. The school is owned by the board of trustees of the Sisters of Loreto. Adjoining is a Loreto Girls National School. History Loreto Abbey Dalkey opened as a school in 1843; it also has a member house of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary (IBVM), founded in the 17th century by Mary Ward (1585 - 1645), a pioneer of education for Catholic women, today having establishments on five continents. The Irish branch of the institute was founded in 1821 by Frances Teresa Ball (1794 - 1861), a native of Dublin. Her first foundation was at Rathfarnham and was called Loreto Abbey. When Loreto Abbey Dalkey was founded, Dalkey was a small fishing village, though in earlier times it had been well known as one of the ports for Dublin. Along its rocky seashore lay a commons area which Frances Teresa Ball perceived to be an eminently suitable site for her foundation. While negotiating its purchase, she rented Bulloch Castle, opposite Bulloch Harbour, where she operated a small boarding and day school from 1841 until 1843. In 1842 she succeeded in buying the site at Dalkey. Ball was her own architect and her castellated building of Dalkey granite was opened as a boarding and day school on 17 August 1843. In 1982, the boarding school closed. Operations Loreto Abbey Dalkey is a private, fee-paying school. There are about 40 rooms in the school. It has 630 pupils on its rolls today, and has 70 members of staff. The principal of the school is Mr Robert Dunne.

Lough Gara

Der 12,57 km² große Lough Gara (irisch Loch Uí Ghadhra) liegt südwestlich der Curlew Mountains, mehrheitlich im County Sligo und zu einem kleinen Teil im County Roscommon in Irland. Ballaghaderreen liegt südwestlich und Boyle nordöstlich. Die erste urkundliche Erwähnung erfolgte 1285. Lough Gara hieß früher Loch Techet, aber die O’Garas, die etwa ab dem 13. Jahrhundert den Coolavin-Distrikt besaßen, benannten den See um. Wasser wird dem See durch den Lung und den Breedoge River zugeführt. Der Ablauf vom Hauptsee in den Lower Lough Gara erfolgt im Norden bei Cuppanagh, durch einen Kanal von etwa 1,5 km Länge. Von hier an wird der Fluss Lough Gara als Boyle River bezeichnet, der an Boyle vorbei in den Lough Key und weiter in den Shannon fließt. Der Hauptsee hat eine Reihe von Inseln und wird mit einem Landstreifen und der Clooncunny Bridge in zwei Abschnitte geteilt. Viele der Inseln im Lough Gara sind Crannógs (künstlichen Inseln). Die Archäologin Christina Fredengran, die einige der Crannógs ausgegraben hat, weist darauf hin, dass manche vor über 5000 Jahren erbaut wurden. Fredengrens fand im Lough Gara über eine 40 m lange Fläche aus weißem Mergel entlang der Nordostküste von Inch Island Pfähle, Balken und Reisig. Das Holz bildete Gruppen im Abstand von 3,0 bis 4,0 m. Eines der Hölzer ergab ein Radiokarbondatum von 4230–3970 v. Chr., was auf das Endmesolithikum weist.

Lough Gara

Lough Gara (Irish: Loch Uí Ghadhra) is a lake in counties Sligo and Roscommon, Ireland. It is an Important Bird Area protecting 1,788 ha of which most (1,742 ha) is designated as a Ramsar Site (a wetland having international importance under the Ramsar Convention). History Lough Gara was known in ancient times as Loch Techet, but the O’Garas, during their ownership of the Coolavin district from about the thirteenth century, renamed the lake "Loch Uí Ghadhra". The first documented reference appeared in 1285. Even though the family lost control of all their Coolavin townlands about 1650, their name has remained on the lake to the present day. The area around Lough Gara is referred to as "O'Gara heartland". Location and size Lough Gara is situated mainly in south County Sligo with a smaller part of the lake in County Roscommon. From north to south the lake spans about four miles. The widest section is a two and a half mile span. The lake lies south west of the Curlew Mountains with the town of Ballaghaderreen situated almost four miles to the southwest and the town of Boyle positioned just over four miles from its north eastern corner. Water is supplied to the lake by the Lung River, which enters at the southwestern angle, and the Breedoge River, which enters the lake at the southeastern angle. From the main upper lake the outflow is through the northeastern corner at Cuppanagh, the channel has one wide stretch about a mile long, which is called Lower Lough Gara. From that point the water flow is termed the Boyle River which flows past the town of Boyle into Lough Key and on to the Shannon. The lake has a number of islands. The main upper lake is divided into two sections with a strip of land and Clooncunny Bridge in between. Iron Age crannogs Many of the islands on Lough Gara are man-made islands called crannógs. Excavations carried out in the 1950s yielded Iron Age, Bronze Age and early Christian period objects. Christina Fredengren, the archaeologist who recently worked on a few of the sites, points out that some of these crannógs were built over two thousand years ago.

Lough Gara

Lough Gara (en irlandais : Loch Uí Ghadhra) est un lac du comté de Sligo, en Irlande. C'est une zone importante pour la conservation des oiseaux (ZICO) ((en) Important Bird Area (IBA)), protégée sur 1,788 ha pour lesquels la majorité (1,742 ha) est reconnue site Ramsar. Histoire Lough Gara s'appelait autrefois Loch Techet. Quand les O’Garas étaient propriétaires du district de Coolavin, aux environs du XIIIe siècle, ils ont renommé le lac en « Loch Uí Ghadhra ». Les premières mentions écrites apparaissent en 1285. Même quand cette famille a perdu le contrôle de toutes les villes de Coolavin, vers 1650, le nom est resté jusqu'à aujourd'hui. La zone autour de Lough Gara est reconnue comme « O'Gara heartland ». Situation et taille Lough Gara se trouve principalement au sud de Sligo dans les paroisses de Kilfree, Killaraght Kilcolman, et Monasteraden avec une partie du lac s'étendant au-delà de la frontière, vers Kilnamanagh, une paroisse du nord du comté de Roscommon. Du nord au sud, le lac s'étend sur environ 6,4 km. La partie la plus large, de la ville de Tawnymucklagh, sur la rive ouest, à Rathtermon et Ross, sur la rive est, fait plus de 4 km. Le lac se trouve au sud-ouest des Curlew Mountains avec la ville de Ballaghaderreen située à presque 6,5 km au sud-ouest et la ville de Boyle à juste plus de 6,4 km au nord-est. La rivière Lung alimente le lac au niveau de son angle au sud-ouest. Les eaux de la rivière Breedoge entrent dans le lac par son angle sud-est. Ces eaux s'évacuent par le nord-est, à Cuppanagh. Le large canal d'évacuation s'étale sur environ 1,5 km de long et il est alors appelé Lough Gara. À partir de là, le flot rejoint la rivière Boyle et rejoint la ville de Boyle dans Lough Key et, après, la rivière Shannon. Le lac contient plusieurs îles. La partie supérieure du lac est divisée en deux parties par une bande de terre où se trouve le pont de Clooncunny. Âge du fer et crannogs Plusieurs des îles de Lough Gara ont été réalisées de main d'homme et sont appelées crannógs. Un article de Archaeology Ireland sur Les crannogs de l'Âge du fer dans Lough Gara a été publié dans le Volume 14 No.2 Issue No.52, été 2000). L'auteur, Christina Fredengran, archéologue qui a travaillé récemment sur quelques-uns des sites, met en évidence que ces îles artificielles ont été réalisées il y a plus de deux mille ans.
