St. Finbarr's Cemetery

St. Finbarr's Cemetery (Irish: Reilig Naomh Fionn Barra) in Cork, Ireland, is the city's largest and one of the oldest cemeteries in Ireland which is still in use. Located on the Glasheen Road, it was first opened in the 1860s. The entrance gateway was erected circa 1865, and the mortuary chapel consecrated in 1867. Many of the early burials were of the wealthy citizens of the city. Unlike older cemeteries, St. Finbarr's was professionally laid out with numbered pathways and wide avenues. Burials Among those buried at St. Finbarr's Cemetery are hurler and Taoiseach Jack Lynch; the antiquarian Richard Rolt Brash who was among the first to decipher writing in the ancient Ogham writing style; the English composer Sir Arnold Bax; and Cork's first Lord Mayor Daniel Hegarty. St. Finbarr's contains one of the largest burial plots of Irish Republicans who died during the 1920s. There are also more recent burials of members of the Provisional IRA and the Official IRA. This is known as the Cork Republican Plot, and among those buried there are former Lords Mayor of Cork Terence McSwiney and Tomás Mac Curtain, hunger striker Joseph Murphy. In the early hours of 17 March 1963, in protest at the unveiling later that day of a monument in the Republican Plot by President Éamon de Valera, IRA volunteers Desmond Swanton and Jeremiah Madden attempted to blow up the monument. However, during this attempt there was an explosion which killed Swanton and severely injured Madden (who lost an eye and a leg). Other republicans who are buried at St. Finbarr's, but not in the Republican Plot, include Flying Column leader Tom Barry, government minister J. J. Walsh and Dan "Sandow" O'Donovan. Commemorations of the 1916 Rising are held annually, by various groups, at the Republican Plot on Easter Sunday. The "musicians' corner" contains the graves of Aloys Fleischmann (Senior) and Aloys Fleischmann, and the composer Arnold Bax. It also contains a mass grave containing the remains of 72 women who died at St Vincent's Magdalene Laundry on Peacock Lane in Cork. A family of an identified woman buried in this grave have called for the site to be investigated.

St Francis College Rochestown

St. Francis College Rochestown, sometimes known as Rochestown College or abbreviated as Roco, is an all-boys secondary school in Rochestown, Cork, Ireland. The school's foundation dates to 1884 when a friary was formed by the Franciscan Order. History In the 1870s the Capuchin (Franciscan) order of friars opened a church and monastery on the Rochestown-Monkstown road near Cork city. In the 1880s, a school for novitiates (those seeking to join the order) was opened on the site. While this novitiate school was moved to Kilkenny and elsewhere for some decades, in the 1930s the school returned to the Rochestown friary. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, coinciding with a move to free education in the state, the college expanded into the friary itself, and "dormitories were converted into classrooms". The school continues to operate as a voluntary secondary school under the trusteeship of the Capuchin Franciscan Order. Extra-curricular activities Sporting and extra-curricular activities in the school include debating, Gaelic football, hurling, soccer, basketball, badminton, debating and chess.

St. James's Hospital

St. James's Hospital (Irish: Ospidéal San Séamas) is a teaching hospital in Dublin, Ireland. Its academic partner is Trinity College Dublin. It is managed by Dublin Midlands Hospital Group. History The origins of the hospital lie in a poorhouse initiated when Dublin Corporation paid £300 to acquire the site in 1603. The war between William III and James II intervened and the project was abandoned until Mary, Duchess of Ormonde, wife of James Butler, 2nd Duke of Ormonde laid a foundation stone in 1703. The pamphleteer, Jonathan Swift, lobbied for the creation of facilities for abandoned infants and, in 1727, the poorhouse was expanded by the addition of a foundling hospital. The brewer Arthur Guinness served on the board of directors in its early years. The foundling hospital closed in 1829 and the buildings were absorbed by the South Dublin Union Workhouse. During the Easter Rising in 1916, the South Dublin Union Workhouse was occupied by rebel forces. The poorhouse evolved to become a municipal hospital known as St Kevin's Hospital, following Irish independence in 1921, and changed its name to St. James's Hospital in 1971. The Trinity Centre, which incorporates the clinical departments of Trinity College's Medical School and its medical library, opened in 1994. A new radiation therapy unit for cancer treatment was established at the hospital in 2012. The St James's campus was chosen in 2012 as the site for the National Paediatric Hospital, allowing colocation with the adult hospital, and potentially "trilocation" with a future maternity hospital on the same site. In 2015, the hospital became the first hospital in Ireland to introduce routine testing for HIV and hepatitis for all patients arriving at the hospital. Services The hospital, which is the main teaching hospital for Trinity College Dublin, has 1,010 beds. Transport The hospital is served by James's Luas stop, as well as a number of Dublin Bus routes. Notable people Anne Young, founder of the first Irish school of general nursing. References Further reading Coakley, Davis (2017). The History and Heritage of St. James's Hospital Dublin.

St Kilian's German School

St Kilian's German School (Deutsche Schule Dublin - DSD) is an independent German international school in Dublin, Ireland. Programme St Kilian's is legally a single organisation, with a primary school, offering kindergarten (junior infants) and vorschule (senior infants) and main primary school (1st to 6th classes), and a secondary school. It is open to students from ages 4 to 18. German is taught from the start, but is not required for entry. In primary school and secondary school, where relevant, input from the school programme of the German state of Baden-Württemberg is used. Depending on development of German language skills, pupils may have the option to pursue a German curriculum stream from 5th class. The school provides German language education beyond the level required by the Irish German curriculum, enabling pupils to take the German Sprachdiplom exams and qualify with the linguistic level required to enter German universities. Some classes in the Junior Cycle (1st to 3rd years) are shared with the Lycée Français d'Irlande. History St Kilian's was founded in the early 1950s, developing from the work of a Dublin charity, the Save the German Children Society, founded in 1945. Since 2002, St Kilian's has shared sites with Lycée Français d'Irlande, the combined campus known as the "Eurocampus". The secondary school has a typical rate of progression to third-level of 90-100%. In 2020 this reduced to 63%, following significant reduction in teacher-assigned grades, with even native German language speakers being graded H3 instead of school-assessed H1. The school and 9 pupils pursued High Court actions over this. Operations and funding The school is operated by a company limited by guarantee, led by parents. It is part-funded by the German government.

St. Lachtain's Church, Freshford

St. Lachtain's Church was built in 1731 in the village of Freshford, County Kilkenny, Ireland. The church is named after St. Lachtain who died in Donoughmore, County Cork, in 622. It is almost certain that a church was built on the present site soon after St Lachtain's death. During the period of Viking raiding of Ireland, St Lachtain's was robbed of its gold and silver ornaments and its books were burned. The arch bears an inscription in old Irish and translates into English as: A prayer for Niamh, daughter of Corc, and for Mathgamhan O Chearmaic for whom this church was made. A prayer for Gille Mocholmoc O Chearmaic for whom this church was made. A prayer for Gille Mocholmoc O Ceannucain who made it. St. Lachtain's church was rebuilt in 1100. The Hiberno-Romanesque porch and doorway being the only remaining part of the former structure. During St. Lachtain's time, Freshford was a diocese and by 1225 a Bishop's palace for the diocese was built in nearby Uppercourt. The palace was used as a summer residence for over 300 years. The remainder of the present church was built in 1731 for the Church of Ireland. In the 19th century gates were placed in front of the main entrance to stop the locals from sharpening their knives on the stone doorway. National Monument The sandstone Romanesque portal is deemed a National Monument. References
