Butt Bridge

The Butt Bridge (Irish: Droichead na Comhdhála, meaning 'Congress Bridge') is a road bridge in Dublin, Ireland which spans the River Liffey and joins Georges Quay to Beresford Place and the north quays at Liberty Hall. History 1879 swing bridge The original bridge on this site was a structural steel swing bridge, designed by Bindon Blood Stoney, opened on 26 August 1879 and named after Isaac Butt (who died that year), leader of the Home Rule movement. The swing section, made of wrought iron and weighing 200 tons, ran on a series of cast-spoke wheels and was powered by a steam engine, which was housed on a timber pier on the downstream side of the bridge. The swing action allowed boats to pass and berth in the river as far upstream as Carlisle Bridge (now O'Connell Bridge). The bridge was overshadowed by the construction of the Loopline Bridge between 1889-91. 1932 concrete bridge In 1932, the swing bridge was replaced with a three-span fixed structure of reinforced concrete, but retained its original English name. The Irish name of the bridge however, Droichead na Comhdhála or "Congress Bridge", derives from the Eucharistic Congress of 1932 which was held in Dublin that year. The central span of the current bridge is formed by two cantilevered sections, with the two approach spans acting as counterweights. This model represented the first use in reinforced concrete of a cantilevered and counterweight construction in either Britain or Ireland. References
Buttevant GAA

Buttevant GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association club in Buttevant, County Cork, Ireland. The club is affiliated to the North Cork Board and fields teams in both hurling and Gaelic football. History Located in the town of Buttevant in North Cork, Buttevant GAA Club was established in the early years of the Gaelic Athletic Association. Originally known as Buttevant Brigadiers, the new club played, what is recognised as its first hurling match under GAA rules, on 26 May 1886 against near Ballyhea. Buttevant has spent the majority of its existence operating in the lower grades. The club had its first major success when, in 1926, the Cork IFC title was won after a defeat of Kinsale in the final. This was followed by a Cork IHC title success in 1940. Buttevant subsequently slipped down through the various grades and was operating at junior level by the turn of the century. North Cork titles in both codes were won between 2010 and 2022, before Buttevant won the Cork Premier JFC title atter a 1–15 to 0–10 defeat of St Nick's in 2025. Grounds Buttevant's home ground is Fr Con Buckley Memorial Park. Built on the site of the former British Army barracks and used since 1922, it is named in honour of a local priest who, as well as being in attendance at the inaugural meeting of the GAA in Hayes' Hotel in November 1884, was the driving force behind the club in its early years. The official renaming and opening took place on 21 April 1963.

CBC Kilkenny

CBC Kilkenny (Irish: Meánscoil na mBráithre Criostaí) is an all-boys Roman Catholic school located in Kilkenny, Ireland. It has a strong sporting tradition in hurling, but also fields teams in many other sports. It is currently located on Dunningstown Road in Kilkenny. History The Irish Christian Brothers came to Kilkenny in 1860. Five years before this, a meeting was held between the Chairmanship of the Lord Mayor, requested by the Bishop of Ossory. The assembly decided to raise funds to build the school and invited the Christian Brothers, led by Edmund Ignatius Rice to aid the cause. A fund of some £3,000 was collected and invested for the purpose. It was agreed that the Brothers would be sent to Kilkenny and be provided with furnished accommodation free of charge. The voluntary fee for students was levied at one penny, this money would be used only in the maintenance of the school. In 1860 a site was bought and a large building erected. The main part of this development still remains in full use up to this day and functions as the entrance to the newer highly renovated parts of the school. On 26 September 1860, it opened its doors to a large number of students; 260 boys were placed on the roll that day but many had to be excluded due to lack of space. As of 2023, the school has more than 850 students enrolled. In August 2025, CBS Kilkenny changed its name to CBC Kilkenny as it moved to a new premises in Dunningstown road from the old premise in James's Street.

Calasanctius College

Calasanctius College, Oranmore is a co-educational secondary school catering for students between the ages of 12-19 around the County Galway town of Oranmore, and the surrounding areas, such as Carnmore, Claregalway, Clarenbridge, Kilcolgan and the south side of Galway City. Academic Calasanctius College operates Junior Certificate, Transition Year and Leaving Certificate courses. History On 23 May 1861, four Presentation Sisters from the convent in Galway established a new convent in Oranmore, at the request of Bishop John McEvilly. Their initial convent was known to the locals of Oranmore as 'the Hotel'. Not long after its establishment, an out-building of the convent was converted into an educational facility. In July 1869, the sisters moved into the parochial house of the then-parish priest, Father R. Quinn, which was purchased by the Presentation Order for the sum of £600. The building of the old National College began in October 1886, and three years later, a new convent was built adjoining the old parochial house. In 1916, a hall was built on the convent grounds to provide for home economics classes for girls in the locality. This became the first secondary college, and was blessed by Michael Browne on 27 August 1946, on the feast day of St. Joseph Calasanctius. In 1947, a boarding school for girls was opened, which continued to draw students from the surrounding areas, until the increased demand for places led to the building of a major extension in 1963. In 1973, the college became co-educational, with the college enrolling boys for the first time. This led to the building of a new wing, incorporating a Woodwork room. From 1987 onwards the college no longer catered for boarding students, and the dormitories and refectories were converted into science laboratories and further classrooms. In 1994, the Presentation Sisters decided to withdraw from the teaching staff, the convent was vacated and a lay college principal appointed. The college remains under the trusteeship of the Presentation Order, while being managed by laypersons. Notable alumni Nicola Coughlan (b. 1987) – actress Gearóid McInerney (b. 1990) – hurler Greg Cunningham (b. 1991) – international footballer Seán O'Brien (b. 1994) – rugby union player References External links Calasanctius College

Cooley Distillery

Die Cooley Distillery galt bis Dezember 2011 als die einzige unabhängige Whiskey-Brennerei Irlands. Sie wurde 1987 von John Teeling im Dundalker Ortsteil Riverstown gegründet. Geschichte John Teeling kaufte eine ehemalige staatliche Kartoffelschnaps-Brennerei auf der Halbinsel Cooley an der Ostküste Irlands. Diese wurde in weniger als zwei Jahren in eine Brennerei mit zwei Destillen umgewandelt – eine Destille nach dem Pot-Still-Verfahren, die andere nach dem Patent-Still-Verfahren. 1988 führte Willie McCarter, ein Studienkollege Teelings in Harvard, seine Andrew A. Watt Distillery (gegründet 1762, County Derry, Nordirland) mit Cooley zusammen. Cooley kaufte dann noch die Marke John Locke and Co. (gegründet 1757, Kilbeggan), die möglicherweise älteste lizenzierte Brennerei der Welt. An deren Standort werden die Brände zum Ausreifen gelagert. 1998 erhielt Cooley die Trophäe der International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC) für außerordentliche Leistungen. Begründung: „Diese Auszeichnung an Cooley ist ein Zeichen, dass die Qualität des Irischen Whiskey wirklich wahrgenommen wird. In der 1987 im County Louth gegründeten Brennerei stellt Cooley eine Reihe von Blended und Single Malt Whiskeys her, die sich einen eindrucksvollen Ruf erarbeiteten und die Juroren dazu bewogen, zum ersten Mal in der Geschichte des Wettbewerbes die Trophäe an eine Brennerei zu vergeben.“ Im Dezember 2011 wurde die Brennerei von Jim Beam für 95 Mio. US-$ gekauft. Jim Beam wiederum wurde 2014 vom japanischen Getränkekonzern Suntory aufgekauft. Seitdem zählen auch Cooleys Marken zum Portfolio des neu entstandenen Konzerns Beam Suntory.

Camross GAA

Camross GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association club in Camross, County Laois, Ireland. The club is affiliated to the Laois County Board and fields teams in hurling, camogie and Gaelic football. History Located near the villages of Camross and Coolrain, about 8km from Mountrath, Camross GAA Club was founded in 1903. The club spent the majority of it's early existence competing in the junior grade and won Laois JHC titles in 1914, 1921 and 1928. A Laois IHC was claimed in 1939. Camross amalgamated with parish counterparts Killanure in 1957. Following the amalgamation, Camross won a fourth Laois JHC title in 1957, followed by a second Laois IHC title in 1958. Camross beat Cuddagh by 2–05 to 3–01 to claim their first ever Laois SHC title in 1959. This title win began an unprecedented era of success, with Camross dominating the championship for the rest of the century. 15 Laois SHC titles were won between 1959 and 1980, including a record-equalling five successive titles on two occasions (1965–1969 and 1976–1980). Camross became the first Laois team to win the Leinster Club SHC title when, in February 1977, they beat James Stephens by 3–09 to 1–14 to secure the title. Camross were subsequently beaten by Glen Rovers in the 1977 All-Ireland Club SHC final. Although primarily a hurling club, Camross also won the Laois JFC title in 1980. Camross won a further seven Laois SHC titles between 1985 and 1996. Their 1990 win over Portlaoise gave the club a record-breaking 19th Laois SHC title to put them top of the all-time roll of honour. Camross won their second Leinster Club SHC title after a 1–12 to 2–05 win over O'Tooles in 1996. The new century saw Camross continue to win Laois SHC titles, however, their dominance of the championship was not as evident. The club beat Abbeyleix by 4–18 to 0–14 to claim their 27th Laois SHC title in 2023.

Замок МакГраха

Замок МакГраха (англ. MacGrath's Castle, ірл. Dún na Mainistreach) — замок МакГрат, замок Дун на Маністрех (Фортеця біля Монастиря) — один із замків Ірландії, розташований в графстві Вотерфорд, біля селища Аббейсайд, земля Дунгарван, на східному березі річки Коліган. Замок норманського типу, являє собою зруйновани шестиповерхову вежу. Замок побудований і належав Ірландському клану Мак Грах. Історія замку МакГраха Замок МакГрах — відома пам'ятка історії та культури Ірландії. З вершини замку відкривається чудовий вид на затоку і гавань Дунгарван. Повінь 1916 року принесла суттєвої шкоди місцевості та замку. До того це було популярне місце сееред туристів. Поруч розташовані руїни Августинського абатства. Замок мав склепіння між поверхами, які нині не збереглися. Замок побудував ірландський клан МакГрах. У 1654 році після придушення повстання за незалежність Ірландії клан МакГрах все ще володів цим замком. До середини XVIII століття замок був у нормальному стані, але потім був закинуитий і почав руйнуватись. У 1960 році замок завалився. Руїни були розібрані, фундаменти замку лежать під землею. Клан МакГрах — давній ірландський клан, що походить з королівства ірландського Томонд. Клан виник як септа клану Дал г-Кайс і походить від короля Манстеру (Муму) Кормака Каса, що правив цим королівством у ІІІ столітті згідно ірландської історичної традиції. Ірландське слово Грах (ірл. — Craith) означає «божествена милість», тому назву клану можна перекласти як «Сини божественної милості». Пізніше англоїзована назва клану звучала як Мак Крейт. Існує багато варіантів написання назви клану. Вважається, що від цього клану потім виникли клани О'Ре, МакРе, О'Роу. Гілка клану МакГрах жила в Ольстері, мала в графстві Донегол ще один замок МакГрах. Ця гілка була відома в Ольстері в 1290—1641 роках. Ще одна септа клану МакГрах жила в графстві Тіпперері. До клану МакГрах належить відомий архієпископ Мілер МакГрах (1523—1622). Нині клан МакГрах складається з двох септ — ольстерської та манстерської. Септи мають своїх вождів. Це Шон Алусдранн Мак Грах з Ольстеру та Ден МакГрах з Манстеру. Біля замку МакГрах народилися відомі люди: Ернест Томас Синтон Волтон (6 жовтня 1903–25 червня 1995) — відомий фізик, лауреат Нобелівської премії. Він відзначився своєю науковою роботою сумісно з Джоном Кокрофтом щодо розщеплення атома. На його честь названий парк «Волтон-Коусау Парк» біля замку МакГраха. Сам Волтон брав участь у церемонії відкриття парку в 1989 році. Після його смерті була відкрита меморіальна дошка на його честь; Луїс Клод Парсер (англ. Louis Claude Purser, 28 вересня 1854–20 березня 1932) — відомий вчений, дослідник античності, знавець латинської мови і літератури; Сара Парсер (англ. Sarah Purser, 22 березня 1848–7 серпня 1943) — відома художниця портретистка. Джерела «Placenames Database of Ireland». Dublin City University. Retrieved 22 January 2015. «MacGraths Castle».
