Coláiste na hÉireann

Coláiste na hÉireann (Irish: [ˈkɔlˠaːʃtʲə nˠə ˈheːɾʲən̪ˠ]; English: "College of Ireland") is a third-level college in Dublin, Ireland offering qualifications in the study of translation and the Irish language. History Gaelchultúr was founded in 2004 with the aim of promoting Irish culture and language in Ireland. It has published several textbooks and provided courses since then. In 2013, the QQI/HETAC granted Gaelchultúr recognition as a third level institution with the ability to award recognised qualifications, thus giving birth to Coláiste na hÉireann. It occupies a unique position as the first independent third-level institution to operate through the medium of Irish, notwithstanding the foundation of Acadamh na hOllscolaíochta Gaeilge nine years previously, since the academy is considered a part of NUI Galway and therefore not independent. The company Gaelchultúr did not cease to exist after the foundation of Coláiste na hÉireann. It continues to operate, however the two names seem to be synonymous. Courses Postgraduate Diploma in Translation The flagship course provided by Coláiste na hÉireann is its Postgraduate Diploma in Translation (Dioplóma Iarchéime san Aistriúchán; NFQ Level 9). This is conducted over three semesters via mixed learning. As the face-to-face portions are limited to one Saturday per month, this programme does not exclude students who are also working full-time. The subject matter deals with translation theory, precision and richness of language, and translation practice. Topics in legal translation and translation technology are also taught. Certificate in Professional Irish Gaelchultúr offers courses leading to a Component Certificate in Professional Irish (Teastas sa Ghaeilge Ghairmiúil). These are available at differing language levels, from relative beginner to advanced. The category of the qualification varies from NFQ Level 3-6, depending on the language level. These certificates are aimed primarily at filling the substantial gap between many public sector bodies have between their statutory obligations with regard to provision of services in Irish, and their actual capabilities. Collaboration MA in Applied Irish Beginning in 2008, Gaelchultúr collaborated with DIT's School of Languages, Laws and Social Sciences to run an MA in Applied Irish (MA sa Ghaeilge Fheidhmeach). The course was delivered for several years. See also References

Gallarus Castle

Gallarus Castle (irisch Caisleán Ghallarais) ist ein vierstöckiges Tower House mit rechteckigem Grundriss beim Dorf Ballynagall (irisch Baile na nGall) im Küstenbereich der Smerwick Bucht im irischen County Kerry. Es ist eines der wenigen noch erhaltenen, befestigten Gebäude auf der Dingle-Halbinsel. Die Niederungsburg steht etwa 1 km entfernt vom bekannteren und geschichtlich bedeutenderen Gallarus Oratory. Geschichte Gallarus Castle wurde im 15. Jahrhundert für den Knight of Kerry, den Inhaber eines Erbrittertums, das der Geraldine-Dynastie gehörte, erbaut. Heute ist es ein National Monument. Beschreibung Das Tower House wurde umfangreich restauriert und eine neue, rechteckige Eingangstür in die Nordmauer eingesetzt. Unterhalb des ersten Obergeschoss gibt es keine Spuren einer (bei Tower Houses aus dieser Zeit üblichen) Eingangstreppe. Eine innen liegende Treppe in der östlichen Außenmauer führt nach oben, und die Decken des zweiten und dritten Obergeschosses sind gewölbt. Das Tower House ist in Privatbesitz und kann nur von außen besichtigt werden. Weblinks Quellen Thomas J. Barrington: Discovering Kerry: Its History, Heritage and Topography. S. 247 ISBN 0905471008
Gallarus Castle

Gallarus Castle is a four-storey rectangular tower house in Baile na nGall, County Kerry, Ireland and is notable as one of the few fortified structures preserved on the Dingle Peninsula. History Gallarus Castle was built in the 15th century by the Knight of Kerry, the holder of a hereditary knighthood belonging to the Geraldine Dynasty. It is now an Irish heritage site. The building has been extensively restored and a new rectangular doorway inserted in the north wall. There is no evidence of a stone stairway below the second floor. A mural stairway rises in the east wall and the ceilings on the third and fourth floor are vaulted. Gallarus Castle stands about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) away from the better known and more historically significant Gallarus Oratory. References Sources Anonymous (1846).

Galley Head Lighthouse

The Galley Head Lighthouse is an active 19th century lighthouse outside of Rosscarbery, County Cork, on the south coast of Ireland. The lighthouse is situated on Galley Head at the southern end of the headland known as Dundeady island at 133 feet above sea level, overlooking the Celtic Sea and two beaches, Red Strand to the east and the Long Strand to the west. The headland is cut off from the mainland by the ancient walls of the old Norman stronghold of Dun Deidi, an important fortress of the local O’Cowhig Clan. History Although the main buildings were completed in 1875, the site did not become operational until 1878. The original light characteristic consisted of six or seven flashes of white light within sixteen seconds every minute. This was due to the operation of a revolving octagonal optic, combined with a light powered by coal gas burners that were switched on and off every two seconds or so. With a range of 16 nautical miles (30 km; 18 mi) in clear conditions, it was one of the most powerful lights of its time. The two keeper's houses have been returned to their original symmetrical layout and are offered for holiday rental by the Irish Landmark Trust. Sleeping 4–6 people in each, they are linked by an internal door, so that larger parties (8–12) might be accommodated. Each house has a double and twin bedroom, and a fold-down sofa bed, plus bathroom, kitchen and sitting room. Both houses have adjoining walled lawns. The station was built in 1875, during the heyday of lighthouse building, and within twenty years of its closest neighbours at Old Head of Kinsale and Fastnet. The Galley Head and the Fastnet have the distinction of being two of the most powerful lighthouses in Europe. The lighthouse displays an unusual landward arc of light because, it is said, the Sultan of Turkey asked to be able to see it from Castle Freke at Rosscarbery nearby on his visit there. The castle, abandoned in 1952 can be seen from Galley as a Gothic ruin. Film and media Galley Head Lighthouse was featured in the music video for "To The Lighthouse" by British singer-songwriter Patrick Wolf.

Phare de Galley Head

Le phare de Galley Head est un phare du 19e siècle proche de Rosscarbery dans le Comté de Cork, sur la côte sud de l'Irlande. Il est situé à l'extrémité sud de la pointe de Galley Head dite l'île Dundeady surplombant l'entrée du canal Saint-Georges séparant le Pays de Galles de l'Irlande. Le promontoire est coupé du continent par les anciens murs de la vieille forteresse normande de Dun Deidi, une importante forteresse du clan local O'Cowhig. Il est exploité par le Commissioners of Irish Lights. Histoire Bien que la construction des bâtiments ait été achevée en 1875, le phare n'est devenu opérationnel qu'en 1878. Son premier feu maritime est très caractéristique ; il est composé de six ou sept éclairs de lumière blanche durant seize secondes toutes les minutes. Cela est dû au fonctionnement d'une optique octogonale rotative, combinée à une lumière alimentée par des brûleurs à gaz de charbon qui étaient allumés et éteints toutes les deux secondes environ. Avec une portée de 30 km dans des conditions optimales, il a été l'un des phares les plus puissants de son époque avant son voisin le phare du Fastnet. Les deux maisons de gardien sont symétriques d'origine et elles pouvaient loger 4-6 personnes. Elles sont reliées par une porte intérieure. La tourelle est proche de la falaise et peinte en blanc.

Galway Technical Institute

The Galway Technical Institute is a college of further education providing QQI Level 5 & 6 programmes. The college is located in on Father Griffin Road, Claddagh, Galway, Ireland. The college provides programmes which are recognised and accredited by QQI. Galway Technical Institute has programmes available across 10 departments consisting of Applied Health Sciences, Art & Design, Arts & Social Studies, Business & Law, Fashion, Hairdressing & Beauty, IT & Computing, Media, Sport, and Technology: Design & Engineering. The college also provides non-accredited and accredited adult education part-time programmes. History In January 1893 the board of guardians of Galway Poor Law Union decided to establish a technical school in Galway city. Eventually a site was purchased on Dominick Street and in January 1894 classes began. These classes catered for 35 all male students and initially the courses being provided were mathematics, theoretics and physiography, machine construction, building and woodwork. By 1908, GTI was teaching Bookkeeping, Commercial correspondence, Theoretical mechanics, Physics, and Chemistry. In the early 20th century it became clear that the Dominick Street building was not large enough to cater for the number of interested students. This led to the purchasing of a site on Father Griffin road, and construction work on the college's current building was completed there in 1938, with the official opening taking place in September of that year. Initially the school catered for second level students only, but towards the end of the 20th century it became a third level educational facility. In 2022, GTI's parent organisation GRETB was awarded €77 million by the Irish government to be used in the construction of a new facility, planned to be located adjacent to the existing Galway Community College in Wellpark.

Gamblestown

Gamblestown is a small village in County Down, Northern Ireland about a mile from Donaghcloney, on the Lurgan to Dromore road. It is situated in the Parish of Magheralin and the townland of Clogher. In the 2021 census it had a population of 141 people. It is situated to the southeast of the Craigavon Borough Council area. The village is largely composed of residential development, a church hall and some retail warehousing, but is without other facilities. Historically, Gamblestown developed as a small rural settlement centered around a cluster of farm workers' cottages located along the Dromore Road. The village's growth has remained modest, with approximately 50 residential properties currently established in 2010. In the 1970s, the Gamblestown Park housing estate was constructed, marking the first significant expansion of the settlement. Subsequent development has primarily consisted of individual dwellings built along the road frontages. Gamblestown contains an Area of Archaeological Potential (AAP) located within the northern portion of the village, specifically on lands to the east and west of Drumnabreeze Road. This designation indicates that the area may hold archaeological interest or significance, although no specific archaeological sites or monuments are recorded within the settlement itself. The earliest recorded instance of the townland Clogher appears in a 1666, whereas earlier documents consistently use the form Crogher. Alternative Irish terms such as cróchar ("bier") and cnochaire ("heap of footed turf") have been suggested, though it is more likely that the original name Clogher was misread as Crogher due to the visual similarity between the letters "l" and "r". The Irish element clochar (An Clochar) is generally interpreted as "a stony place". References See also List of villages in Northern Ireland

Garda National Immigration Bureau

The Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB; Irish: Biúró Náisiúnta an Gharda Síochána um Inimirce) is a unit of the Garda Síochána, the police force of Ireland. It was formed in May 2000 and is responsible for the enforcement of immigration law in Ireland. Formation and duties The GNIB was formed in May 2000, and is responsible for the execution of deportation orders, investigation of human trafficking complaints, investigation of language schools, countering illegal immigration and border control. It also provides support and assistance to local Garda immigration officers throughout the country. It operates immigration checkpoints at Irish airports and ports, except at Dublin Airport, where the facilities are operated by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service. While Garda officers also previously handled administrative tasks like registering people and issuing residence permits, these duties were transferred to civilian staff at Immigration Service Delivery (ISD), formerly the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS), on 13 January 2025, with the Minister for Justice stating that she was 'committed to civilianising administrative functions within An Garda Síochána' to allow Gardaí to focus on enforcement duties such as deportations and investigations, and to modernise immigration services, including online renewals in counties such as Cork and Limerick. Organisation The GNIB is headquartered at Burgh Quay in Dublin 2, and reports to the Assistant Commissioner with responsibility for Special Crime Operations. As of 2010, its staff included two Detective Superintendents, four Detective Inspectors, 24 Detective Sergeants, 180 Detective Gardaí and Gardaí, and 68 civilian staff. The Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration has responsibility for both the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service and the Garda National Immigration Bureau. This oversight is intended to ensure coordination between the police force's enforcement duties and the civilian-led administrative functions of the national immigration system. References
Gartnanoul

Das Dual-Court Tomb von Gartnanoul (irisch Gort na nAbhall) liegt östlich von Killeshandra nahe dem Seenkomplex des Lough Oughter und einer Straße im „Killykeen Forest Park“ in der Baronie „Loughtee Upper“ (irisch Lucht Tí Uachtarach) im County Cavan in Irland. Court Tombs gehören zu den megalithischen Kammergräbern (englisch chambered tombs) der Insel. Sie werden mit etwa 400 Exemplaren überwiegend in Ulster im Norden der Republik Irland beziehungsweise in Nordirland gefunden. Das Court Tomb ist über 25 m lang und gut erhalten. Der nördliche Hof (englisch court) ist etwa 4,0 m breit und 3,0 m tief. Er erschließt eine etwa 4,0 m lange Galerie, die durch einen niedrigen Stein in zwei Kammern unterteilt ist. Etwa 10,0 m entfernt liegt die sehr ähnlich gestaltete südliche Galerie. Weder die Decksteine noch Teile des Cairns sind erhalten. Etwa 6,0 km südöstlich liegt das zerstörte Dual-Court Tomb von Drumhart.

Gartnanoul

Gartnanoul is a megalithic court tomb located in Killykeen Forest Park, Loughtee Upper, County Cavan, Ireland. Situated near Lough Oughter, the north tomb court is 3 metres (9.8 ft) in depth and 4 metres (13 ft) in width. Gartnanoul is called a dual-tomb because it has two tombs both in line with each other, with each tomb having its own court. It is estimated that when it was built Gartnanoul was 28 metres (92 ft) long and 8 metres (26 ft) wide. The roof stones are missing although the tomb is in good condition and cairn materials are found scattered around the tomb. Gallery References
DB Schenker

DB Schenker er en logistik- og shippingvirksomhed. De udfører forskellige logistikopgaver indenfor luft-, land-, sø- og kontraktlogistik. Virksomheden Stinnes blev overtaget af Deutsche Bahn i 2002 og siden 2007 har DB Schenker eksisteret. DSV har opkøbt DB Schenker for 107 milliarder kroner, meddeltes det den 13. september 2024, men overtagelsen afventer godkendelser fra myndighederne indtil andet kvartal i 2025. DSV's aktie steg allerede i løbet af ugen som tegn på den snarlige handel. Referencer
DB Schenker

Unter der Marke DB Schenker führte die Deutsche Bahn AG das Geschäftsfeld für alle Transport- und Logistikdienste der DB-Gruppe (mit Ausnahme des Schienengüterverkehrs, der im Geschäftsfeld DB Cargo organisiert wird). Die Marke selbst wurde dabei von der Deutsche-Bahn-Tochtergesellschaft Schenker AG und den anhängenden Ländergesellschaften verwendet. In der Außenkommunikation treten demnach die Schenker AG sowie sämtliche Gesellschaften des Verbundes als DB Schenker auf. Die Marke DB Schenker ist nach dem Verkaufsabschluss Ende April 2025 Teil von DSV A/S. Geschichte In seiner Biografie begründet der damalige Vorstandsvorsitzende der Deutschen Bahn, Hartmut Mehdorn, die Zukäufe von internationalen Logistikunternehmen mit Anforderungen der Güterverkehrskunden. Eine Analyse habe im Jahr 2000 ergeben, dass die 200 umsatzstärksten Kunden des Unternehmens bis zu 60 Prozent ihrer Fracht ins Ausland lieferten. Da das Kerngebiet der Bahn in Deutschland war, habe man Kunden an Mitbewerber verloren, die dort besser aufgestellt gewesen seien. Für ein eigenständiges Wachstum in diesen Märkten habe die Zeit gefehlt. Diese Analyse führte auch zum Kauf der Stinnes AG 2002 und der damit verbundenen Übernahme der Marke Schenker. Seit 2016 tritt die DB Cargo, ehemals DB Schenker Rail, nicht mehr unter der DB Schenker-Marke auf, sondern fungiert als gleichgestelltes Geschäftsfeld innerhalb der Bahn-Gruppe. Einzelnachweise
DB Schenker

Il marchio Schenker, ereditato dal suo fondatore Gottfried Schenker, è entrato nel gruppo Deutsche Bahn nel 2002 attraverso l'acquisizione della società Stinnes AG. Con il marchio DB Schenker la Deutsche Bahn AG gestisce l'area di business relativa a tutti i servizi di trasporto e logistica del gruppo DB (ad eccezione del trasporto merci su rotaia, che è organizzato nell'area di business DB Cargo). Il marchio stesso viene utilizzato da tutte le società sotto il controllo della Deutsche Bahn, mediante la controllata Schenker AG. Nelle comunicazioni esterne Schenker AG e tutte le società del gruppo appaiono come DB Schenker. Storia L'allora amministratore delegato della Deutsche Bahn, Hartmut Mehdorn, giustificò nella sua biografia le acquisizioni di aziende logistiche internazionali con le esigenze dei clienti del trasporto merci. Un'analisi del 2000 ha dimostrato che i 200 clienti dell'azienda con le vendite più elevate consegnavano fino al 60% delle loro merci all'estero. Dato che l'area centrale della ferrovia era in Germania, i clienti venivano persi a favore dei concorrenti che lì erano meglio posizionati. Non c’era abbastanza tempo per una crescita indipendente in questi mercati. Questa analisi ha portato anche all'acquisto di Stinnes AG nel 2002 e alla conseguente acquisizione del marchio Schenker. Nel 2013 DB Schenker ha ricevuto il WorldStar Packaging Award dalla World Packaging Organization per gli imballaggi di trasporto riutilizzabili particolarmente sicuri e il Daimler Supplier Award per la logistica contrattuale per servizi logistici superiori alla media. Entrambi i premi vengono assegnati ogni anno. Dal 2016 DB Cargo, ex DB Schenker Rail, non opera più con il marchio DB Schenker, ma agisce con un nuovo marchio come unità alla pari all'interno del gruppo Bahn, andando a scindere il trasporto ferroviario dalle attività gestite dal marchio. A dicembre 2023 Deutsche Bahn inizia le procedure per le vendita dell'azienda Schenker . Note Voci correlate DB Cargo Collegamenti esterni (DE) Sito ufficiale, su dbschenker.com.
