Station Dublin-Broadstone

Station Dublin-Broadstone is een voormalig treinstation in Dublin. Het werd geopend in 1847 en was het eerste eindstation van de Midland Great Western Railway, een maatschappij die halverwege de 19e eeuw onder meer de spoorlijn naar Galway heeft aangelegd. Het station werd al in 1937 gesloten voor personenvervoer. Het wordt tegenwoordig gebruikt als hoofdkantoor van de busmaatschappij van Ierland: Bus Éireann. In 2017 kreeg het station weer een spoorverbinding toen de Groene lijn van de lightrail van Luas werd verlengd van St. Stephen's Green naar Broombridge.
Brougher Mountain transmitting station

Brougher Mountain transmitting station is a major transmitting station in Northern Ireland. It is located between County Tyrone and County Fermanagh, on top of a 317 m (1,040 ft) high hill called Brougher Mountain. Despite being located in County Tyrone it is sometimes referred to as the "Enniskillen" or "Fermanagh" transmitter. It has four other transmitter sites in its digital television transmitter group, at Ederny, Derrygonnelly, Belcoo, and Lisbellaw. Brougher Mountain came into service on 24 February 1964, transmitting the BBC Television Service on VHF 405 lines channel B5. The ITV service provided by Ulster Television launched from the Strabane transmitter located 40 miles north of Brougher Mountain on 18 February 1963 and its coverage extended down to the area covered by Brougher Mountain. prior to date the only television service available in many parts of its service area was from Telefís Éireann's Truskmore transmitter which opened in 1962. It became the main UHF transmitter for the area in July 1978, when BBC One, BBC Two and UTV started transmitting in colour on the 625 line UHF service and was the last main transmitting station in the UK to be equipped for UHF. Channel 4 started transmitting from the transmitter in December 1983. Due to its close proximity to the Republic of Ireland, since the transmitter went on air in 1964, many living in counties Cavan, Monaghan, Donegal, Leitrim, Roscommon and Sligo could receive the UK channels via spill-over signals from Brougher Mountain, as well as the Strabane transmitter. During the mid-1980s Brougher Mountain was only one of three original BBC main FM transmitters in Northern Ireland affected by the frequency changes arising from the 1984 Geneva (FM) Frequency plan with all (then) three services moving up 0.5 MHz although across the border in the Republic of Ireland the RTE's FM transmitter network were more extensively affected. The site was the location of a Provisional IRA bombing on the 9th February 1971, which left 5 BBC workers dead when their vehicle was destroyed by a landmine. The workers were travelling up the mountain to repair the transmitter when the landmine, which was detonated by a tripwire, detonated. It has been suggested that the booby trap was in fact set to target members of the British Army, who regularly patrolled in the border area. Services transmitted by frequency Analogue radio Digital radio Analogue television (before 24 October 2012) Analogue tv is now ceased. BBC2 Northern Ireland was switched off from UHF 28 on the 10th of October 2012, and the another 3 analogue services go on 24th of October 2012.

Innisfallen Island

Innisfallen Island (irisch Inis Faithlinn) ist eine 8,7 Hektar große Binnenseeinsel, die mit mehreren anderen im Lough Leane, einem See bei Killarney im County Kerry in der Republik Irland liegt. See und Insel gehören zum Killarney-Nationalpark, wobei die Insel wegen der Ruinen der Innisfallen Abbey bedeutsam ist. Möglicherweise verdankt der See Lough Leane seinen Namen dem Kloster auf Innisfallen, da der irische Name Loch Léin übersetzt „See des Lernens“ bedeutet. Einzelnachweise
Isola di Innisfallen

L'isola di Innisfallen o Inishfallen (dall'irlandese: Inis Faithlinn dal significato "Isola di Faithlinn") è un'isola nel Lough Leane, uno dei tre laghi di Killarney nella contea di Kerry, in Irlanda. Storia Innisfallen ospita le rovine dell'Abbazia di Innisfallen, uno dei resti archeologici più importanti risalenti al periodo paleocristiano trovato nel Parco Nazionale di Killarney. Il monastero fu fondato nel 640 da San Finiano il lebbroso e fu occupato per circa 950 anni. Per un periodo di circa 300 di questi, i monaci scrissero gli Annali di Innisfallen, che raccontano la storia primordiale dell'Irlanda come era conosciuta dai monaci. I monaci furono espropriati dell'abbazia il 18 agosto 1594 da Elisabetta I. Si ritiene che la posizione del monastero sull'isola abbia dato origine al nome Lough Leane (irlandese Loch Léin), che in inglese significa "Lago dell'apprendimento". Secondo la tradizione, il re irlandese Brian Boru ricevette la sua istruzione a Innisfallen da parte di Maelsuthain O'Carroll. Maelsuthain è stato accreditato come il possibile creatore degli Annali. Accesso all'isola È possibile per i turisti visitare l'isola durante i mesi estivi, con le barche che partono dal Castello di Ross durante tutto il giorno. Strutture Mentre l'abbazia risale al VII secolo, la struttura più antica esistente, datata al X secolo, ovvero i due terzi occidentali della chiesa abbaziale. Il resto della chiesa e il complesso principale dell'abbazia furono costruiti nel XIII secolo. Una terza struttura, un oratorio con portale iberno-romanico, risale al XII secolo. Note
Bullock Harbour

Bullock Harbour or Bulloch Harbour (Irish: Cuan Bhlóic) is a small working harbour located near the heritage town of Dalkey on the southeast coast of Dublin Bay in Ireland. The current harbour quay and walls were constructed of local granite in the early 19th century where previously a rocky inlet had provided a natural harbour. Bullock Harbour is the subject of a specific local objective (SLO22) in the Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council's county development plan. History Bulloch Castle was built in the 12th century by the Cistercian monks of Dublin's St Mary's Abbey, in order to protect local fisheries. There was a small stone quay situated below the castle walls, which was partially sheltered by a breakwater. Records notably show the embarking and departure of several Viceroys at Bulloch en route to Dublin. The quay would stay in use, unchanged from its medieval state, until construction of the current harbour began in 1818, with the facility being finished in 1819. The quay was heavily expanded, with a new granite pier and walls built to form the current harbour. Cranes were installed on the pier to facilitate the transport of stone, sourced from the rocks to the east, and later used for the commercial transport of coal. Large iron rings, which can still be seen on the rocks outside the pier, were used to winch boats in and out of the harbour. Name The name of the harbour and castle has variously been Bullock, Bulloch, Bloyke and Bullog. Location Bulloch Harbour is located at the Sandycove (northern) end of Harbour Road in Dalkey, County Dublin. Bulloch Castle, an imposing Norman structure, overlooks the harbour which is ten minutes walk from Dalkey Dart Station. Harbour activities There are two businesses offering boats for hire for fishing, sightseeing or visiting Dalkey Island, about a kilometre away. Lobster and crabs are harvested when weather permits, and mackerel are fished for in season. Marine leisure activities include kayaking, sea scouts, sea fishing and angling, and rock climbing. Wildlife A family of seals lives at the harbour and likes being fed by local children and tourists. Common and bottleneck dolphins have been reported in the vicinity. The diversity of marine flora and fauna reflects that of the Dalkey coastline. In Media Bullock Harbour is mentioned in Michael O'Hanrahan's romance A Swordsman of the Brigade as "Bullock Strand". In the book, the protagonist Piaras Grás oversees the smuggling of recruits to join the Irish Brigade, and later duels a British officer. References External links Bulloch Harbour Crane
Burnchurch Castle

Burnchurch Castle (irisch Caisleán an Teampaill Loiscthe) ist ein Tower House außerhalb der Stadt Callan neben der Clonmel Road, 6,5 km südwestlich von Kilkenny im irischen County Kilkenny. Das gut erhaltene normannische Bauwerk aus dem 15. Jahrhundert hat einen runden Torturm und gilt zusammen mit der anglikanischen Kirche (der namensgebenden Burnchurch, An Teampall Loiscthe) und den Lindenbäumen seit 1993 als National Monument. Die Burg soll für die FitzGeralds von Desmond im 15. Jahrhundert erbaut worden sein, die bis 1817 dort lebten. Beschreibung Die 12,5 Meter hohe Tourelle ist noch erhalten. Ursprünglich war an die Burg ein mit einer Mauer eingefriedeter Hof angebaut. Der Turm ist sechs Stockwerke hoch und hat eine ungewöhnlich hohe Anzahl von Gängen und Kammern im Inneren der Mauern. An die Außenmauer des Turms war einst ein Rittersaal angebaut, der aber heute verschwunden ist, ebenso wie der größte Teil der Einfriedung mit einem 12,3 Meter hohen Turm an einer Ecke. Alte Zeichnungen unbekannten Datums zeigen Überreste der Gebäude. Viele Tower Houses haben Kammern innerhalb der Mauern und versteckte Gänge in ihren Wänden, aber nur wenige haben davon so viele und so verschlungene wie Burnchurch Castle. Darunter befindet sich ein Gewölbe mit der Hauptschlafkammer darüber, direkt unter dem mit Giebeln versehenen Dach. In den Mauern liegen zahlreiche, enge Räume, darunter ein „Geheimraum“ im 3. Obergeschoss. Eine gewundene Außentreppe vermittelt immer noch den Zugang zu den drei Obergeschossen dieses kleinen Turms, sodass er begehbar ist. Er hat gekuppelte Fenster und ist besonders wegen seines fein behauenen, offenen Kamins mit vernutetem Keilbogen und eines hohen runden Kamins bekannt. Der gerundete Kamin könnte ein späterer Anbau sein. Im Großen und Ganzen entspricht die Anlage von Burnchurch Castle der von Clara Castle, weicht aber dadurch ab, dass die Giebelwände ein Stockwerk weiter nach oben gezogen sind als die anderen beiden Wände und verlängerte Tourellen mit ihren Überständen am höchsten Punkt des Gebäudes bilden. Burnchurch Castle und Clara Castle sind gute Beispiele für den charakteristischen, irischen Stil von Stufenzinnen. Burnchurch Castle ist als einer von mehreren irischen Tower Houses bekannt, bei denen die leicht schmaleren Seiten der Burg bis zu einem weiteren Stockwerk nach oben gezogen sind und im Wesentlichen ein Paar Tourellen bildet, die genau so breit sind wie der Turm.

Burnchurch Castle

Burnchurch Castle is a well-preserved 15th century Norman tower house with a round gate tower, located in the parish of Burnchurch, County Kilkenny, Ireland. Burnchurch Castle and tower, along with the nearby Church of Ireland church and lime trees, became a National Monument in 1993. The tower house is said to have been built and owned by the Fitzgeralds of the house of Desmond in the 15th or 16th century. It continued to be occupied until 1817. It is 6.5 km (4.0 mi) south west of Kilkenny, off the Clonmel Road, 6 km from Ballybur near Cuffesgrange, outside the town of Callan, near to Kells Priory. It is located in Burnchurch parish and was in the barony of Shillelogher. Architecture The castle's 12.5m high circular turret still remains. A walled courtyard was originally attached to the castle. It is six storeys high, and has an unusually large number of passages and chambers inside the walls. A great hall was formerly attached to the tower's outside wall, but this has now vanished, as has most a bawn with a 41 foot tall tower at one corner. Old drawings, date unknown, show remnants of buildings. Many tower houses have mural chambers and passages hidden away within their walls, though few have the number and complexity of those found in Burnchurch Castle. Beneath there is a vault with the principal chamber above, lying just below a gabled roof. There are numerous narrow rooms in the walls, including a "secret room" on the fourth floor. A curved outside staircase still provides access to the three upper floors of this little tower so it can be explored. It has mullioned windows and is noteworthy for its finely carved fireplace with a joggled voussoir arch and its tall round chimney. The rounded chimney may be a later improvement. It is broadly similar in size and layout to Clara Castle in Clara, but differs in that the gable-end walls are carried up one story higher than the other two walls and form to elongated turrets with their won rampart walls at the highest part of the building. Burnchurch Castle and Clara are good examples of the characteristic Irish-style of stepped battlements. It is known for being one of several Irish towers with the slightly narrower sides of the castle extending up an additional floor, creating in essence a pair of tower wide turrets.

Butt Bridge

Die Butt Bridge, irisch Droichead na Comhdhála ist eine Straßenbrücke über den Fluss Liffey in Dublin, Irland, die nach dem irischer Rechtsanwalt, Wirtschaftswissenschaftler und Politiker Isaac Butt benannt ist. Geschichte Die heutige Brücke ersetzte eine in den 1879 fertiggestellte Drehbrücke über den Liffey. Sie wurde 1888 außer Betrieb genommen, da die Schifffahrt wegen der geringen lichten Höhe der 1891 fertiggestellten Loopline Bridge ohnehin nicht mehr in die Stadt möglich war. Die eingeschränkte Straßenbreite und die großen Steigungen der Auffahrten machten einen Ersatz der Brücke erforderlich. Die neue Brücke, die 1932 an der gleichen Stelle wie die ursprüngliche Butt Bridge gebaut wurde, wurde von Joseph Mallagh, Chefingenieur der Hafenbehörde entworfen. Der Bau wurde durch Gray’s Ferro Concrete (Ireland) Ltd. ausgeführt. Die Brücke erhielt ihren Namen nach Isaac Butt, dem langjährigen Vorsitzenden der irischen Home Rule League, und behielt diesen Namen auch nach dem Neubau bei. Der irischsprachige Name wurde aber nach dem Neubau in Droichead na Comhdhála („Brücke des Kongresses“) geändert anlässlich des 31. Eucharistischen Weltkongresses, der 1932 in Dublin stattfand. Bauwerk Die Brücke hat eine mittlere Öffnung mit einer Spannweite von 34 m und zwei seitliche Öffnungen von 12,2 m Spannweite. Die mittlere Öffnung wurde gleich gewählt wie bei der unmittelbar flussabwärts liegenden Loopline Bridge, sodass eine durchlaufende Schifffahrtsrinne entstand. Die 20 m breite Brücke trägt eine 12 m breite Fahrbahn und zwei 3 m breite Bürgersteige. Das mittlere Brückenfeld besteht aus zwei Kragträgern, die in der Mitte der Öffnung miteinander verbunden sind. Weblinks Butt Bridge. In: Bridges of Dublin. Abgerufen am 10. April 2021.
