Ballyskenagh GAA

Ballyskenagh GAA was a Gaelic Athletic Association club located near Roscrea, County Tipperary, Ireland but affiliated to the Offaly County Board. The club was primarily concerned with the game of hurling. History Associated with the parish of Roscrea, County Tipperary but geographically situated in County Offaly, the club was formed in 1925 under the name Mount Heaton. The club affiliated to the Offaly County Board and had its first success in 1927 when the Offaly JHC title was claimed. The club remained active until 1940. After a two-year lapse in activity the club was reformed as Ballyskenagh but affiliated to the North Tipperary Board. The new club won the North Tipperary JHC title in 1948 before winning the title for a second time in 1959. A new bye-law introduced by the Tipperary County Board in 1961 restricted each parish to one hurling and one Gaelic football club resulting in Ballyskenagh being refused affiliation. Later that year, the Offaly County Board agreed to accept affiliation. Success was immediate with the club winning the Offaly JHC title in its first year back in competition in County Offaly. Ballyskenagh claimed a third Offaly JHC title in 1994, before securing senior status a year later when the club claimed the Offaly IHC title. Ballyskenagh had their first senior success in 2001 when they won the O'Connor Cup. The club reached the Offaly SHC final in 2003 but lost out to Birr by 1-18 to 1-11. A decade after reaching the SHC final, Ballyskenagh struggled to field teams due to a lack of playing numbers. Because of this the club amalgamated with Killavilla in March 2013 to form the new Ballyskenagh/Killavilla club.

Trá na Beannaí

Trá na Beannaí (nom original en irlandès, en català seria Platja Banna o en anglès Banna Strand) és una platja situada a la badia de Tralee a Irlanda. Consisteix en una franja de sorra a la costa de l'oceà Atlàntic, i s'estén entre la platja de Ballyheigue, a la Roca Negra, al nord, fins a Barrow Beach, al seu límit pel sud, al comtat de Kerry. Es troba, aproximadament, a uns 12 km al nord-oest de la ciutat de Tralee. Presenta dunes de sorra en tota la seva llargària, que poden arribar fins als dotze metres d'altitud. Des d'allí s'hi poden veure les muntanyes de la península de Dingle a l'horitzó del sud-oest. Molts dels residents a Tralee viatgen a Trá na Beannaí als dies més calorosos de l'estiu. Històricament, el lloc està associat amb la captura de Roger Casement, el 21 d'abril de 1916, que havia desembarcat allí des d'un submarí alemany. Casement estava involucrat amb un intent de fer entrar armes per als republicans irlandesos mitjançant el vaixell alemany Aud, en el marc de l'Alçament de Pasqua d'aquell any. Hi ha un monument dedicat a Casement i a un altre home, Robert Monteith, al costat de la sorra, amb la següent inscripció: El misteriós tercer home era Daniel Julian Bailey, un soldat dels Royal Irish Rifles de l'exèrcit britànic que, com a presoner de guerra dels alemanys, va ser reclutat (sota el nom de Daniel Beverley) per la Brigada Casement. El monument va ser erigit el 1966 per commemorar el 50è aniversari del desembarcament. L'omissió del nom del tercer home del monument va ser presa pel Comitè de Banna Strand de 1966 perquè, després de ser caputrat, es va convertir en testimoni britànic. L'espai, per la construcció del monument, fou cedit per Florrie Monteith, fila de Robert Monteith. Florrie també va escriure una biografia del seu pare titulada The Mystery Man of Banna Strand. La Ràdio Horitzó, una estació de ràdio de Kerry dels anys 1980, es va instal·lar a Trá na Beannaí. Posteriorment també s'hi va construir el Banna Beach Hotel, tot i que aquest va tancar el 2002, i després va ser transformat en centre d'oci Banna Beach Leisure Centre. Durant la dècada de 1990 la zona d'aparcament es va traslladar darrere de la platja. Referències Enllaços externs Burns, Mike. «Germans Return To Commemorate The Rising 1966» (vídeo) (en anglès).

Banna Strand

Banna Strand (Irish: Trá na Beannaí), also known as Banna Beach, is a beach in north County Kerry, Ireland. It is an Atlantic Ocean beach extending from the Smallrock (Roc Beag) and Blackrock in the North to Carrahane at its southern edge. It is around 12 kilometres (7 mi) north west of Tralee. It features shifting sand dunes along its entire length which rise up to 12 metres (40 ft). Carrahane lagoon on the south end, famous for migrating birds and the Roger Casement landing. The mountains of the Dingle Peninsula can be seen on the south west horizon. Many residents from Tralee make a trip to Banna Strand on the warmest summer days. History Roger Casement Historically, Banna Strand is associated with Roger Casement who was captured on 21 April 1916, having landed from a German U-boat. Casement was involved in an attempt to land arms for Irish Republicans from the German vessel the Aud. A monument for Casement and another man, Robert Monteith, stands near the dunes with the inscription: "At a spot on Banna beach adjacent to here Roger Casement - Humanitarian & Irish revolutionary leader - Robert Monteith & a third man came ashore from a German submarine on Good Friday morning 21 April 1916 in furthering the cause of Irish freedom." The mysterious 'third man' was Daniel Julian Bailey, a soldier in the Royal Irish Rifles in the British Army who when a POW was recruited (as Daniel Beverley) into the 'Casement Brigade'. The monument was erected in 1966 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the landing. A decision was taken by the 1966 Banna Strand committee to deliberately omit the name of the "third man" from the monument because, following his capture, he turned "King's evidence". The sod was turned, for the construction of the monument, by Florrie Monteith, the daughter of Robert Monteith. She was also the author of a biography of her father that was entitled "The Mystery Man of Banna Strand". 1980s to the present Horizon Radio, a Kerry radio station from the 1980s, was located in Banna. Banna Beach Hotel was opened nearby by Joe Murphy and in 2002 expanded to Banna Beach Leisure centre. In the 1990s, the car parking area was moved to the beach from behind the dunes.

La omisión del nombre del tercer hombre del monumento fue tomada por el Comité de Banna Strand de 1966 pues, tras ser capturado, se convirtió en testigo británico. El espacio para la construcción del monumento fue cedido por Florrie Monteith, hija de Robert Monteith. Florrie también escribió una biografía de su padre titulada The Mystery Man of Banna Strand. Horizon Radio, una estación de radio de Kerry de los años 80, estaba situada en Banna. Se construyó cerca de la playa el hotel Banna Beach, que se cerró en 2002 y fue reemplazado por el centro de ocio Banna Beach Leisure. En los años 90 el área del estacionamiento de coches fue trasladada detrás de las dunas. Referencias

Barberstown Castle

Barberstown Castle (irisch Caisleán Bhaile an Bharbaigh) ist eine Burg im Dorf Straffan im irischen County Kildare, etwa 25 km westlich von Dublin. Die 1288 erbaute Burg wird seit 1971 als Hotel betrieben und ist von 8 Hektar Gärten umgeben. Renovierungsarbeiten im Jahre 1996 förderten einen vorher unentdeckten Tunnel zutage, der die Burg mit der nahegelegenen Kirche von Straffan verbindet und vermutlich in der Zeit der Penal Laws genutzt wurde. Geschichte Die Burg ließ Nicholas Barby um 1288 auf Land, das der Familie FitzGerald gehörte, errichten. 1630 gehörte das Anwesen William Sutton, Mitglied einer der bedeutendsten Familien der Gegend. 1689, nach der Thronbesteigung von König Jakob II. von England, konfiszierte Richard Talbot, 1. Earl of Tyrconnell, Barberstown Castle von Lord Kingston. Dann kan es in den Besitz der Commissioners of the Revenue, die es Ende des 17. Jahrhunderts an Roger Kelly verpachteten. Zur Jahrhundertwende ging es durch eine Reihe von Händen, auch die von Bartholomew Vanhomrigh, der es mit 135 Hektar Land 1703 für £ 1033 kaufte. Vanhomrigh war 1697 Oberbürgermeister von Dublin gewesen und Vater von Vanessa Vanhomrigh, der Geliebten von Jonathan Swift. Er verkaufte die Burg an die Henrys, die sie aus finanzieller Not an Hugh Barton von der Weinfamilie Barton und Guestier verkaufen musste. Dieser ließ den letzten Flügel des Hauses in den 1830er-Jahren erbauen. Im 20. Jahrhundert verkauften es die Buddlestons an Mrs Norah Devlin, die es 1971 in ein Hotel umbauen ließ. Eric Clapton kaufte das Anwesen 1979 und verkaufte es 1987 wieder an den heutigen Besitzer, Ken Healy, der dort lebt. Healy hat das 10-Betten-Gästehaus mit drei Bädern in ein 4-Sterne-Hotel mit 59 Zimmern, das von Fáilte Ireland empfohlen wird, umbauen lassen.
