Clane Friary

Clane Friary, also called Clane Abbey, is a former friary of the Order of Friars Minor Conventual located in Clane, Ireland. Location Clane Friary is located immediately southeast of Clane village, to the north of King Mesgegra's Mound and the River Liffey. History Clane (believed to derive from Claon-áth, "crooked ford") is an early Gaelic monastery. It was traditionally founded by Saint Ailbe of Emly c. AD 520 (or later in AD 548), and had Secundinus (Sechnall, Seachnall) as its second abbot. It took part in the missionary work of the 6th and 7th centuries. Clane was sacked and plundered by Vikings in 1035. It continued until after the 1111 Synod of Rathbreasail. It hosted the Synod of Clane in 1162, convened by Gelasius of Armagh (Gilla Meic Liac mac Diarmata) and attended by Lorcán Ua Tuathail and 25 other bishops. It established that no-one could become a lector unless he had been educated at Armagh. In 1258/60 Gerald FitzMaurice FitzGerald, son of Maurice FitzGerald, 2nd Lord of Offaly, established a house of the Order of Friars Minor Conventual at Clane. He was buried at the monastery in 1259; a fragment of his effigy remains. It hosted a chapter of the Franciscans in 1345. Clane fell into disrepair around the time of the Black Death (1348–50). Some new parts were added towards the end of the 14th century. The Hogans and Wesleys were often associated with the abbey as priors and monks. It was dissolved in 1540. It seems to have been quite small: 70 acres (28 ha) of land, a church, cemetery, dormitory (probably to the north of the church), store, kitchen, two chambers, stable and orchard. It was granted to Robert Eustace, Roger Roche, and Edward Browne in 1541–42 for the use of Sir Thomas Luttrell. Some of the buildings were destroyed and the stone used to repair Maynooth Castle. Some friars remained until the buildings were destroyed c. 1606. A few friars remained clandestinely and Clane Friary was restored again in 1647 before final abandonment in 1650. Bonaventure Mellaghlin was transferred to Clane as guardian Franciscans still return each year to celebrate Mass on the feast of the Portiuncula. Building A nave and chancel church, 43 m (141 ft) east-west and 8 m (26 ft) north-south, with a south aisle added in the 15th century. There is some moulding and sedilia, as well as an effigy of founder Gerald FitzMaurice FitzGerald. References External links Clane Friary, Co. Kildare, Ireland on YouTube
Burgess Park (Athlone)

Burgess Park is a public park in Athlone, County Westmeath, Ireland. The park is located in the townland of Goldenisland (Kilmaine), on the banks of the River Shannon, which forms the border with County Roscommon. The park contains a memorial garden, playground, walking trails and recreational areas. History In December 2015, the park suffered flooding damage following Storm Frank, which saw the water levels of the River Shannon rise, causing flooding in several places along its banks. A memorial garden was planted in 2016, to celebrate the centenary of the Easter Rising. On 28 May 2020, a protest organized by Gemma O'Doherty were held at the park. The protests were in response to the 2020 coronavirus pandemic lockdown, which protestors described as being 'unlawful. References
Russell Gaelic Union

Russell Gaelic Union, Downpatrick is a Gaelic football and ladies' Gaelic football club based in Downpatrick, County Down, Northern Ireland. History The first Gaelic Athletic Association club in Downpatrick was founded in 1896, Clan Na Gael, mostly a hurling team. Gaelic football began to be popular in the 1910s. The games were outlawed during the Irish War of Independence (1918–22), but teams were refounded in 1924 and the St Patrick club affiliated in 1926. Downpatrick won their first Down Senior Football Championship in 1935. In 1938–39 they moved to Leatham's field at Ballymote and renamed themselves The Thomas Russell Club, after Thomas Russell (1767–1803), executed at Downpatrick for his role in the Irish rebellion of 1803. Players were harassed by policemen of the Royal Ulster Constabulary, who uprooted their goalposts and sent officers to their games to intimidate them. In 1949 they became the Russell Gaelic Union. Russell Gaelic Union won further county titles in 1972 and 1978 In the 1990s the team experienced great success both at a team level with RGU Downpatrick and more widely on the Down county team. Downpatrick won three county titles in four years, and reached the final of the 1993 Ulster Senior Club Football Championship, losing to Errigal Ciarán. A ladies' team was founded in 1997. In 2015 the club's grounds on Old Course Road were named as Down's second grounds (after Páirc Esler in Newry) and received £10,000 in funding from Down District Council. RGU Downpatrick attracted some minor controversial press comment in 2018 when a brawl broke out at a league match against Ballyholland Harps. Both clubs were banned from the 2019 championship.

Island Bridge

Die Island Bridge, auch Islandbridge, irisch Droichead na hInse, bis 1922 Sarah Bridge für Sarah Fane (1764–1793), Countess of Westmorland, ist eine Steinbrücke über die Liffey im Westen von Dublin. Bereits im 11. Jahrhundert ist eine Furt an der Stelle nachgewiesen, an der die Island Bridge den Fluss überquert. Der Brücke von 1792 ist die dritte oder möglicherweise die vierte Brücke an dieser Stelle. Sie wurde von Alexander Stevens geplant, der die Aufgabe des Architekten und des Ingenieurs in Personalunion übernahm. Die Brücke galt wegen der schlanken Bauweise als besonders gelungen und zog nach der Eröffnung viele Kunstmaler an. Ihr anmutender Bogen wurde sogar mit der Rialtobrücke in Venedig verglichen. Bis zur Eröffnung der 1814 fertiggestellten Lucan Bridge hatte die Island Bridge mit 32 m die größte Spannweite aller Steinbogenbrücken in Irland, was nur dank dem elliptischen Bogen möglich war.

Islandbridge

Island Bridge (Irish: Droichead na hInse), formerly Sarah or Sarah's Bridge, is a road bridge spanning the River Liffey, in Dublin, Ireland which joins the South Circular Road to Conyngham Road at the Phoenix Park. Island Bridge and the surrounding area (often known as Islandbridge) are so named because of the island formed here by the creation of a mill race towards the right bank while the main current flows to the left. The River Camac emerges from a tunnel further downstream towards Dublin Heuston railway station. History The area around Islandbridge contains a number of notable Viking burial sites from the 9th and 10th centuries which indicate the area as being one of the earliest recorded contacts between the Vikings and Ireland. It was also a fording point, on the River Liffey, since at least the early medieval period. In 1577, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth, while Sir Henry Sidney was Lord Deputy of Ireland, an arched stone bridge was built here to replace an earlier structure nearby at Kilmainham. This bridge was swept away by a flood in 1787, and between 1791 and 1793 the replacement bridge, that is standing today, was constructed. The structure is a single 32-metre span ashlar masonry elliptical arch bridge and was originally named Sarah's Bridge after Sarah Fane, Countess of Westmorland, wife of the then Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, who laid the first stone on 22 June 1791. The bridge was renamed Island Bridge in 1922 following independence from Britain of the Free State, similarly to many other Dublin bridges originally named for British peers. The bridge has become synonymous with the area, and the residential area around the bridge is now commonly known as "Islandbridge".

Iveagh House

Iveagh House (en irlandès Teach Uibh Eachach) és la seu del departament d'Afers Exteriors i Comerç de Dublín, on té el seu despatx el ministre. A vegades també s'utilitza col·loquialment com a metonímia referint-se al mateix servei. Iveagh House eren originalment dues cases, als números 80 i 81 de St Stephen's Green. El número 80 havia estat dissenyat per Richard Cassels en 1736 per al Bisbe Clayton. Més tard va ser la llar de l'advocat i Master of the Rolls John Philpot Curran. Després les dues cases van ser comprades per Benjamin Guinness en 1862 i va exercir com el seu propi arquitecte; va combinar les dues cases i va produir l'edifici en el seu estat actual. Al frontó de la façana de pedra de Portland va col·locar els braços dels seus pares: a l'esquerra del lleó milesià, amb la mà vermella d'Ulster abans, per al clan Magennis del comtat de Down, i a la dreta les armes de la família Lee, constructors de Dublín de voltants de 1700. L'edifici compta amb nou badies, amb les tres centrals trencades cap endavant i frontonades. L'interior de l'edifici és summament elaborat i decorat, amb una escala i un saló de ball ple d'alabastre. L'escala també té abillaments de ferro, columnes de marbre i claraboies circulars. L'edifici va ser donat a l'Estat irlandès pel net de Benjamin Guinness Rupert en 1939, i va passar a dir-se Iveagh House. La casa original Iveagh segueix sent una part del proper Iveagh Trust. Els Jardins Iveagh de la part posterior de la casa foren donats al University College Dublin per Lord Iveagh en 1908, en relació amb la formació del seu campus a Earlsfort Terrace. Els jardins ja han estat traslladats a l'OPW i ara s'utilitza com a parc públic. Referències Enllaços externs Departament d'Afers Exteriors i Comerç Plantilla:Infotaula edificis Oficials Irlandesos
Iveagh House

Iveagh House is a Georgian house which now contains the headquarters of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade in Dublin, Ireland. It is also sometimes used colloquially as a metonym referring to the department itself. History Iveagh House was originally two houses, nos 80 and 81 St Stephen's Green. No 80 was designed by Richard Castle in 1736 for Bishop Clayton. It was later the home of barrister and Master of the Rolls John Philpot Curran. After both houses were bought by Benjamin Guinness in 1862 he served as his own architect, combined the two houses and produced the building as it now stands. On the Portland stone facade pediment he placed his parents' arms: on the left the Milesian lion, with the Red Hand of Ulster above, for the Magennis clan of County Down; and on the right the arms of the Lee family, Dublin builders from about 1700. The building has nine bays, with the central three broken forward and pedimented. The interior of the building is hugely elaborate and decorative, with a staircase and ballroom lined with alabaster. The staircase also has ornate ironwork, marble columns and circular roof lights. The building was donated to the Irish state by Benjamin Guinness's grandson, Rupert, Lord Iveagh, in 1939, and was renamed Iveagh House. The original Iveagh House is still a part of the Iveagh Trust nearby. The Iveagh Gardens at the back of the house were given to University College Dublin (UCD), by The 1st Lord Iveagh in 1908, in connection with the formation of its campus on Earlsfort Terrace. The gardens have since been transferred to the OPW and are now used as a public park. The conservation and restoration of the Gardens commenced in 1995 and to date most of the original features have been restored, for example the Maze in Box hedging with a Sundial as a centre piece. The restored Cascade and exotic tree ferns all help to create a sense of wonder in the 'Secret Garden'. External links Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade Virtual Tour of Iveagh House References

James's Fort

James Fort (Irish: Dún Rí Shéamuis) is an early 17th-century pentagonal bastion fort located on Castlepark peninsula in Kinsale harbour, County Cork, Ireland. Situated downstream from Kinsale on the River Bandon, the fort was built to defend the harbour and seaborne approaches of the town. Following the construction of Charles Fort on the opposite side of the harbour in the late 17th century, James Fort became known as the "old fort" (Irish: an Seandaingean). Listed as a protected National Monument, and managed by the Office of Public Works, the fort is open to visitors. History Before James Fort was constructed, an earlier medieval fortification existed on the site. This fortification, named Castle Ny-Parke was occupied for a time by Spanish forces as part of the 4th Spanish Armada. During the early part of the Siege of Kinsale (1601), it was captured from the Spanish by Sir Richard Smyth who led the attacking English forces of Charles Blount, Lord Mountjoy. Construction of James Fort commenced in 1602 - immediately after the Siege of Kinsale. The fort was named after James I of England and VI of Scotland, and was built to designs by Paul Ive (to replace and supplement the older medieval structure). Completed by 1607, the central structure was a half-bastioned four-sided stone fortification, surrounded by pentagonal earthworks to a bastion fort or star-shaped fort design. A hexagonal blockhouse was built on the water's edge - a water battery at the narrowest point in the channel. As with Charles Fort on the other side of the harbour, James Fort was occupied by Jacobite forces during the Williamite War in Ireland. It was captured however in 1690 by Williamite forces, after being damaged by an explosion of gunpowder stores. Though Charles Fort (the "new fort") was operated as a military garrison through to the early 20th century, James Fort (the "old fort") declined in use during the 18th century, and texts and maps describe it as a ruin by the 19th century. Today James Fort was subject to a number of archaeological excavations in the late 20th and early 21st centuries - including a survey commissioned by Dúchas (the Heritage Service) in 1998. The fort site is listed as a National Monument (number 525), and as such under "state guardianship". As of 2016, An Taisce (the National Trust for Ireland) listed the fort in an "at risk" category, noting that while it had been subject to preservation works, it required "a long-term conservation management plan to prevent future deterioration". The James Fort site is publicly accessible, and visited both as a tourist attraction and as an amenity park (by walkers and runners). References
Swiss Cottage, Cahir

The Swiss Cottage is an early 19th-century cottage orné (ornamental cottage) located at Kilcommon near the town of Cahir, County Tipperary in Ireland. It is managed by the Office of Public Works and open to the public as a tourist attraction. History The Swiss cottage was built around 1810 and is a noted example of a cottage orné, or ornamental cottage. Its design is attributed to the English Regency architect John Nash, who also designed a number of other buildings in Cahir. Originally part of the estate of Lord and Lady Cahir, the "fantasy" cottage was used for entertaining guests. The then estate owner and Lord Cahir (later Viscount Cahir) was Richard Butler, 1st Earl of Glengall and 10th Baron Cahir (1775–1819), who married Emily Jeffereys from Blarney Castle in 1793. After some years of neglect, restoration of the cottage started in 1985. The restoration was overseen by a partnership of the Irish Georgian Society, the Port Royal Foundation and Sybil Connolly. The Swiss cottage opened to the public as a historic house museum in 1989. Architecture and interior Laid out in a T-shaped plan, the cottage has three bays to the front, timber-work verandas on several sides, and an ornate thatched roof. Its interior includes a parquet floor and timber spiral staircase, with some rooms containing original wallpapers attributed to Joseph Dufour and company; reputedly among "the first commercially produced Parisian wallpaper". Similar buildings Similar buildings exist elsewhere in Ireland at Burrenwood (County Down), Derrymore (County Armagh), and Glengarriff (County Cork). As with the earlier Petit hameau de la Reine at Versailles in France, these picturesque cottages were popular with gentry in the early 19th century as places to "play at being peasants" and to entertain guests. Milady Cahir is referred to by Napoleon's Josephine in connection with the Château de Malmaison. Gallery References External links Official Swiss Cottage website
