Collins Barracks (Cork)

Die Collins Barracks (irisch: Dún Uí Choileáin) sind eine Militärkaserne an der Old Youghal Road im Norden von Cork in Irland. Geschichte Die ursprünglich zwischen 1801 und 1806 errichtete Kaserne wurde von Abraham Hargrave nach Plänen von John Gibson fertiggestellt. Ursprünglich diente sie als britische Kaserne und wurde nach dem irischen Unabhängigkeitskrieg an das irische Militär übergeben. Wichtige Gebäude der Kaserne wurden im irischen Bürgerkrieg erheblich beschädigt. Die Victoria Barracks wurden in der Folge nach Michael Collins, dem ersten Oberbefehlshaber des Freistaats, der aus der Grafschaft Cork stammte, umbenannt. Die Kaserne ist nach wie vor das Hauptquartier der 1. Brigade der Irish Defence Forces. Ein Militärmuseum in der Kaserne ist zu bestimmten Zeiten für die Öffentlichkeit zugänglich.

Collins Barracks, Cork

Collins Barracks (Irish: Dún Uí Choileáin) is a military barracks on the Old Youghal Road on the north side of Cork in Ireland. Originally serving as a British military barracks from the early 19th century, it was known as Victoria Barracks by the late 19th century. It was handed-over to the Irish military following the Irish War of Independence, and remains the headquarters of the 1st Brigade of the Irish Army. A museum in the barracks is open to the public at selected times. History Formation Originally erected between 1801 and 1806, the barracks' works were completed by Abraham Hargrave to designs by John Gibson. Located in a prominent position on the hills overlooking Cork city and the River Lee, the complex was initially known simply as "The Barracks". It was extended in 1849 and renamed to "Victoria Barracks", to celebrate a visit by Queen Victoria. Independence In the period following the Easter Rising (1916), the Irish nationalist Thomas Kent was executed by firing squad at the barracks. He was the only person outside Dublin, apart from Roger Casement, to be executed for participation following the Rising. During the Irish War of Independence (1919–1921), Auxiliary forces based at the barracks were implicated in events surrounding the Burning of Cork. British forces from the barracks were also involved in the executions of several Republican prisoners. On 1 February 1921 Cornelius Murphy was executed and then on 28 April 1921, four Volunteers, Maurice Moore, Thomas Mulcahy, Patrick O'Sullivan and Patrick Ronayne, were executed by firing squad at the barracks, followed by the execution of Patrick Casey a few days later, and of Daniel O'Brien on 16 May 1921. Following the War of Independence, under the terms of the Anglo-Irish Treaty, and after housing British forces in the city for more than one hundred years, the barracks complex was handed over to Commandant Sean Murray of the army of the Irish Free State in 1922. Key buildings within the barracks were substantially damaged by retreating Anti-Treaty forces during the Irish Civil War. After this conflict, the barracks was renamed Collins Barracks for Michael Collins, the first commander-in-chief of the Free State, and a native of County Cork. Late 20th century A garrison for the Southern Command of the Irish Army since the 1920s, the complex was visited by US President John F. Kennedy in 1963. The barracks now houses the headquarters of 1 Southern Brigade, with permanent and reserve elements of several army corps, including artillery, cavalry, communications, engineering and logistics units. From 2003 the barracks was subject to a modernisation programme, with the building of new messing facilities, a gymnasium and other works.

It is located on Griffith Avenue, Dublin 9. Its degrees and diplomas are awarded by the University of Dublin, Trinity College.

History In 1831, the residence of the Superior General of the Irish Christian Brothers and the centre of teacher training was moved to North Richmond Street (O’Connell Schools) Dublin from Our Lady's Mount (North Monastery) in Cork. In 1874, the residence of the Superior General of the Irish Christian Brothers was transferred to Belvedere House in Drumcondra now the President's House in St Patrick's College of Education.

The college trained Christian Brothers who taught throughout the world, on all five continents. In 1926, the Congregation became involved in the Irish National School system, and consequentially the college's focus on primary education increased. In 1929, the Department of Education recognised the college as a teacher training college and students were awarded a National Teachers' Diploma (NT) on completion of their course. In 1971, Brothers of other orders such as the De La Salle, and Marist Brothers, began to attend the college. From 1972, lay students were admitted to Marino Institute of Education.

Inishmulclohy

Inishmulclohy (irisch Inis Uí Mhaolchluiche; auch Coney Island, Oileán na gCoiníní, deutsch „Kanincheninsel“ genannt) ist eine bewohnte Gezeiteninsel (englisch tidal island) in der Nähe von Sligo und Strandhill im County Sligo in Irland. Die Insel ist 2,4 km lang und 0,8 km breit. Name Coney Island ist eine von mehreren Inseln dieses Namens vor der Küste Irlands. Sie ist nach der riesigen Menge von Kaninchen benannt, die auf der Insel leben (Coney /koʊni/, historisch /kʌni/) ist das englische Wort für Kaninchen; vom lateinischen „cuniculus“. Geografie Inishmulclohy ist mit etwa 400 ha die größte der drei Inseln (mit Maguins und Oyster Island) vor der Nordküste der Halbinsel Coolera. Die Insel ist von Norden mit dem Boot von der Anlegestelle Rosses Point zugänglich. Bei Niedrigwasser ist es möglich, über den breiten Cummeen-Strand und den „Coney Island Causeway“ (eine tidal road) von Süden (östlich an Sligo Airport vorbei) auf die Insel zu gelangen. Dieser 5 km lange Weg ist mit 14 Steinsäulen markiert. Sehenswürdigkeiten Die Insel hat das kleinste Fort in der Grafschaft. Es liegt im Süden, ist nur 248,2 m² groß und seine Wälle haben 11,8 bis 13,3 Meter Durchmesser. Weblinks Bild des Coney Island Causeway Beschreibung engl. und Bild
Coney Island, County Sligo

Coney Island or Inishmulclohy (Irish: Inis Uí Mhaolchluiche) is an island in Sligo Bay, Ireland. It lies across the mouth of Sligo Harbour, between Rosses Point and the Coolera Peninsula, and can be reached from the latter via a tidal causeway. The Irish name means "O'Mulclohy's island", in reference to a once powerful local family, while the English name means "island of rabbits". History In 1862 the island had a population of 124 people, with 45 children attending the local school. The island now has only one family of permanent inhabitants (traceable back to the 1750s) but has many other temporary residents, especially in the summer months. The island gained electricity in 1999 via an underground cable. Demographics Folklore There are also stories of faeries, mermaids and spirits on Coney Island, and visitors can try to find the elusive St Patrick's wishing chair, St Patrick's well, the remains of a washed up whale and some fairy forts. In the late 1700s, the merchant ship Arethusa sailed the route between Sligo and New York City. Regarding the naming of New York's Coney Island: one theory is that the ship's captain named that island after Sligo's Coney Island. Access Coney Island is accessible by boat from Rosses Point, or by driving or walking over the causeway, two and a half kilometres across Cummeen Strand, guided by 14 pillars, at low tide. The bollards were constructed in the mid-1800s, lining up with the Black Rock lighthouse, to aid in night time travel across the bay. A spate of drowning tragedies in the 1800s, including that of the owner of the island, William Dorrin, in 1823, prompted the construction of the bollards.
