Clare Museum

Clare Museum (Irish: Músaem an Chláir) is an archaeology and history museum that tells the story of County Clare. The museum is housed in the former Sisters of Mercy Convent in the centre of Ennis. History The building in which the museum is housed was originally part of the Sisters of Mercy school built in 1854. The section of the building that contains the museum was built as a primary school in 1865, and a chapel and classrooms added in 1869. The museum is run by the local authority. It was developed through Ennis Urban District Council with Clare County Council and the Department of Arts, Heritage, Gaeltacht and the Islands, under the Department’s Cultural Development Incentive Scheme under the Operational Programme for Tourism 1994–1999. The chapel and school buildings where refurbished and restored, and the museum was opened to the public in October 2000. Contents The museum's collections document the history of County Clare over 6000 years. The long-term exhibition displays some of these objects in an exhibition called The Riches of Clare, which occupies two galleries. The objects included are from archaeological sites, social history, religious sites, agricultural history, Clare's association with the Spanish Armada, Clare's musical tradition, and collections relating to Éamon de Valera. The display also contains the autograph book of former IRA volunteer and TD Patrick Brennan, and an exhibition of the 1914 All-Ireland Hurling Championship Senior and Junior teams. The museum is taking part in the Heritage Council's Museum Standards Programme for Ireland, and has many objects on loan from the National Museum of Ireland. The museum is designated by the National Museum of Ireland to collect archaeological finds. References
Clare Museum

Het Clare Museum is een historisch museum in Ennis, County Clare, Ierland. Het werd in gebruik genomen in het jaar 2000. Het museum is gevestigd in de voormalige St Xavier's School. Het is in beheer bij de Clare County Council. Het museum bevindt zich in een deel van het complex dat ooit toebehoorde aan de Sisters of Mercy. Het eigenlijke convent is gesloopt en vervangen door een hotel. Het schoolgedeelte, St Xavier's School, en de kapel bleven gehandhaafd maar raakten in verval. Dit deel is gebouwd in 1865 (school) en 1869 (kapel). in plaats van het gebouw toe te voegen aan de "Derelict Sites Register" (Register van vervallen gebouwen) besloot de County Council het gebouw te restaureren en in gebruik te nemen als museum. Onder de vele historische items is ook de zilveren spade waarmee Charles Stewart Parnell in 1885 in Milltown Malbay de "eerste graszode " weg schepte voor de aanleg van de West Clare Railway.

Ye Olde Hurdy Gurdy Museum of Vintage Radio

Ye Olde Hurdy Gurdy Museum of Vintage Radio is a museum of communication history based in the Martello tower in Howth, Dublin. Tower history The tower was built in 1805, one of the many towers built along the Irish coast to guard against a possible Napoleonic invasion, and has long been associated with the history of radio transmission in Ireland and beyond. From 1825, the tower was used by the Preventative Water Guard (now the Irish Coast Guard) in its anti-smuggling work. The tower was the terminus of the first telegraph line connecting Wales to Ireland in 1852. The first successful wireless radio transmission by Lee de Forest on 23 November 1903 was also conducted from this tower. Guglielmo Marconi demonstrated his technology using a high aerial to communicate with a ship in 1905. From 1922, the tower was used by the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs, then Telecom Éireann until the 1980s when it was sold to Dublin City Council. It passed to Dublin County Council and then to Fingal County Council, who still own it, as of 2020. Museum The tower was refurbished in 2001, with the museum opening in 2003. It is based around the collections of former curator Pat Herbert who had been collecting for over 60 years. The name of the museum is an homage to a remark by Taoiseach Seán Lemass, who asked an RTÉ radio controller in the 1950s "How's the hurdy gurdy?". The exhibition includes artefacts relating to all forms of communication and related Irish historical events, including radios, early televisions, gramophones, and records. The story of curator Pat Herbert and the museum was the subject of a 10-minute award-winning film in 2014, Hurdy Gurdy Man. The museum was operated by Herbert and a team of fellow volunteers up to the COVID-19 pandemic, when, as with all museums in Ireland, it closed. Herbert died in June 2020, and the museum's website was updated by his fellow volunteers. The Morse code-based amateur radio station, EI0MAR, operates from the museum.

Ye Olde Hurdy Gurdy Museum of Vintage Radio

Ye Olde Hurdy Gurdy Museum of Vintage Radio – muzeum historii techniki (sprzętu radiowego) w Dublinie (Irlandia), umiejscowione w dawnej wieży Martello, w której na początku XX w. prowadzono eksperymenty z radiem. Wieża Wieża Martello w Howth została zbudowana w latach 1804–1806, w pierwszej fazie wznoszenia fortyfikacji tego typu w Irlandii, jako jedna z 26 wież wokół Dublina. Była to wieża mniejszego typu, okrągła, o średnicy 12,2 m (40 stóp) i wysokości 7,3 m (24 stóp). Uzbrojona była w jedną armatę dwudziestoczterofuntową. Podobnie jak inne tego typu budowle na północ od miasta, wzniesiona była z łupanego kamienia, z magazynem w przyziemiu i dwoma piętrami mieszkalno-magazynowymi, z wejściem na poziomie pierwszego piętra, bronionym przez machikuły; załogę stanowiło 16 żołnierzy. Gdy minęło zagrożenie napoleońskie, od 1825 roku wieżę zajmowała placówka Preventative Water Guard ścigająca przemytników. Wieża służyła też jako stacja sygnalizacyjna, a od 1852 funkcjonowała jako stacja końcowa podmorskich kabli telegraficznych do Holyhead w Walii. W 1887 roku wieżę przejęło biuro Poczmistrza Generalnego Wielkiej Brytanii i dalej znajdowała się w niej końcówka kabli podmorskich. 23 listopada 1903 roku amerykański wynalazca Lee De Forest przeprowadził udaną transmisję radiową z wieży w Howth do Holyhead. Potem do swoich eksperymentów z radiem wykorzystywał ją Guglielmo Marconi, który w 1905 roku dokonał z tego miejsca połączenia radiowego ze statkiem. W 1922 roku właścicielem zostało irlandzkie ministerstwo poczt i telegrafów, później wieżą zarządzało Telecom Éireann, które odsprzedało ją miastu Dublin pod koniec lat 1980. Po remoncie w 2001 roku zostało przekazane na muzeum. Wieża wpisana jest do irlandzkiego rejestru zabytków pod numerem DU016-0020. Muzeum Kolekcja muzeum obejmuje sprzęt telegraficzny, radiowy i fonograficzny, m.in. fonograf Edisona i francuski odbiornik z czasów okupacji, zamaskowany jako portret Rity Hayworth. Pierwotnie była to prywatna kolekcja entuzjasty radia, Pata Herberta. W 2003 powiat Fingal zaoferował wieżę na pomieszczenie dla rosnącej kolekcji, która nie mieściła się już w domu Herberta. Pat Herbert kolekcjonował i restaurował nagrania i sprzęt radiowy przez ponad 60 lat, zanim został kuratorem muzeum w Howth. Stuart Duff nakręcił o nim dziesięciominutowy film dokumentalny, nominowany do nagród na festiwalach Dublin International Short Film and Musical Festival i Underground Cinema Film Festival.

Altamont House

Altamont House is a historic building best known for its ornamental gardens in County Carlow. The Robinsonian-style gardens are often referred to as "the jewel in Ireland's gardening crown". History The early origins of the house are unclear, with some claiming that the building was first built as a convent, perhaps dating as far back as the 16th century. The central section of the house dates from the 18th century and the sections that face the east remain unchanged, were built by the St George family. Most of these changes to the house were to reverse it to face a newly built road. During the 1780s, Benjamin Burton Doyle the High Sheriff of Carlow lived at the house. In the 1840s the Dawson Borrer family refurbished and altered the house and gardens, adding the lake that was dug as relief work for the local population during the Irish famine. Feilding Lecky Watson bought Altamont in 1923, and proceeded to extend and expand the gardens. Watson's interest was primarily in rhododendrons, planting seedlings from around the world and exchanging specimens with Sir Frederick Moore of the National Botanic Gardens. Following Watson's death in 1943, his daughter, Corona North continued her father's horticultural work. Gardens The garden sits on the banks of River Slaney which includes an ice age glen, bog garden and arboretum, with view of the Blackstairs Mountains, Wicklow Mountains and Mount Leinster. Some of the oaks are believed to be over 500 years old, and the varying environments provide habitats for diverse set of wildlife. The garden is home to a variety of rare azaleas, rhododendrons, magnolias, as well as wild bluebells and snowdrops. The gardens also feature a Wellingtonia, the Sequoiadendron giganteum or Giant Redwood, which was planted to commemorate the Battle of Waterloo. A trust was set up in the early 1990s to preserve the estate of 100 acres. Following the death of Corona North, ownership of the house and gardens was transferred to the Irish State, and is operated by the Office of Public Works.

Johnstown Castle

Johnstown Castle (irisch Caisleán Bhaile Sheáin) ist ein Schloss im Townland Johnstown beim Dorf Murrintown im irischen County Wexford. In den zugehörigen landwirtschaftlichen Gebäuden ist seit 1979 das Irish Agricultural Museum untergebracht. Irish Agricultural Museum In dem Museum ist die Geschichte des ländlichen Lebens in Irland dargestellt. Die Sammlungen behandeln alle Elemente, einschließlich des Verkehrs, der Handwerke, der Landwirtschaft und des Wohnens auf dem Lande. Geschichte Anfang der 1970er-Jahre begann Austin O’Sullivan mit der Sammlung von Materialien über die Landwirtschaft und das ländliche Leben in Irland. 1974 erklärte sich Thomas Walsh, Direktor der An Foras Talúntais (heute Teagasc), mit der Gründung eines landwirtschaftlichen Museums einverstanden. 1976 bildete sich eine Gruppe mit dem Ziel, ein Museum zu gründen, das unter anderem diese Sammlung beherbergen sollte. Das Museum wurde in den früheren Wirtschaftsgebäuden von Johnstown Castle untergebracht und 1979 vom irischen Präsidenten Patrick Hillery eröffnet. Seither wurde das Museum erweitert und bedeckt nun eine Fläche von 1600 Quadratmetern. Die Einrichtung und Erweiterung des Museums führte zur bis heute (2019) andauernden Renovierung der landwirtschaftlichen Gebäude des Anwesens, die von 1810 stammen. Ausstellungen Der Hauptzweck der Ausstellungen des Museums war die Dokumentation der Veränderungen in der Landwirtschaft an der Schwelle zur industriellen Revolution, insbesondere die Abwendung von pferdegetriebenen Maschinen hin zu motorgetriebenen. Die Sammlungen sind nach landwirtschaftlichen Themen, wie Milchwirtschaft, Wäsche, Kochen, Zuckerrübenanbau etc., aufgeteilt. In dem Museum gibt es auch eine umfangreiche Ausstellung über die Geschichte der Kartoffel und die große Hungersnot in Irland Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts. Die Sammlung enthält Nummer 96 der History of Ireland in 100 Objects (dt.: Geschichte Irlands in 100 Objekten) der Irish Times, eine Waschmaschine vom Anfang der 1950er-Jahre. Ebenfalls zu sehen ist eine Reihe von 1:1-Nachbauten von Werkstätten eines Schmieds, eines Küfers, eines Rademachers, eines Sattlers und eines Korbmachers. Das Museum gewann 2014 den Preis für das beste Museum, ein Wettbewerb der Industrial Heritage Association of Ireland, wegen der Rolle, die das Museum in der Erhaltung und Dokumentation der Materialgeschichte in Zusammenhang mit dem ländlichen Leben in Irland spielt.

Замок Джонстоун

Замок Джонстоун (англ. Johnstown Castle) — один із замків Ірландії, розташований в графстві Вексфорд. Біля замку є відомий сад, що у свій час був розроблений відомим майстром садівництва Данієлем Робертсоном. Цей же майстер садівництва створив відомі сади в маєтку Паверскорт (графстві Віклоу). У замку нині музей сільського господарства. Замок і сад навколо замку відкриті для громадськості. Замок є популярним місцем для прогулянок і пікніків. Історія замку Джонстоун Замком Джонстоун володіли в свій час дві відомі аристократичні родини графства Вексфорд. Першими власниками замку були люди родини Есмонд. Це аристократична родина, що походить від норманського лицаря, що оселився на цих землях після англо-норманського завоювання Ірландії в 1170 році. Есмонди побудували вежу та будинок біля неї у XV—XVI століттях. Після повстання за незалежність Ірландії в 1641 році і подавлення повстання Олівером Кромвелем замок Джонстоун був конфіскований у власників. Після цього замок багато разів переходив з рук в руки. Потім замок купив Джон Гроган у 1692 році. Його нащадки володіли замком Джонстоун до 1945 року. У цьому році Моріс Віктор Лакін подарував замок народу Ірландії. До 1863 року замок Джонстаун був резиденцією володарів вотчини площею більше 1000 акрів. Потім вотчина була розділена на дві частини: оленячий парк на півночі, і замок з майданчики для прогулянок, з домашньою фермою та двома озерами (було ще третє озеро) на півдні. Сьогодні в замку Джонстоун є музей сільського господарства, центр розвитку сільського господарства, науково-дослідний центр сільського господарства. Нинішня будівля замку Джонстоун є прекрасним зразком будинків вікторіанської епохи.

Ballymullen Barracks

Ballymullen Barracks (Irish: Dún Bhaile an Mhuilinn) is an Irish military installation at Tralee, County Kerry in Ireland. History Royal Munster Fusiliers The barracks were built for local militia units between 1810 and 1815. In 1873, a system of recruiting areas based on counties was instituted under the Cardwell Reforms and the barracks became the depot for the 101st Regiment of Foot (Royal Bengal Fusiliers) and 104th Regiment of Foot (Bengal Fusiliers). Following the Childers Reforms, the 101st and 104th regiments amalgamated to form the Royal Munster Fusiliers with its depot in the barracks in 1881. Civil War The Royal Munster Fusiliers were disbanded at the time at the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922. The barracks were taken over by the Irish Republican Army in February 1922 and then secured by the forces of the Free State in August 1922 during the Irish Civil War. The barracks played a role in one of the most infamous incidents of the war, namely the Ballyseedy massacre. On 6 and 7 March 1923, nine Republican prisoners were taken from the barracks in Tralee to Ballyseedy crossroads and tied to a land mine which was detonated killing all but one. Later use The barracks continued to be used by the Irish Army and a newly refurbished headquarters block was opened at the barracks in April 2002. Non-military usage The site was used as a reception centre for asylum seekers until the centre closed in 2005. The barracks was also used as a COVID-19 testing centre during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Republic of Ireland. In 2022, the barracks was used to house Ukrainian refugees following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. Units As of 2023, the barracks was home to E Company of the 12 Infantry Battalion of the Army Reserve. See also List of Irish military installations References
Finner Camp

Finner Camp (Irish: Campa Fionnabhair) is a military installation near Ballyshannon in Ireland. History The barracks, which were built on a site known for its megalithic tombs, were completed in 1890. Following the Anglo-Irish Treaty the barracks were handed over to the forces of the Irish Free State in 1922. In the Second World War, it was close to the Donegal Corridor. In August 1969 there was false speculation in the media that Taoiseach Jack Lynch would use the barracks to launch an invasion of Northern Ireland with the aim of protecting the Catholic community there. The barracks are now the home of 28th Infantry Battalion, Irish Army. See also List of Irish military installations References
Renmore Barracks

Renmore Barracks (Irish: Dún Uí Mhaoilíosa) is a military installation in Renmore, a suburb of Galway, Ireland. Officially known as Dún Uí Mhaoilíosa, the barracks are home to the 1st Infantry Battalion of the Irish Army. History The barracks were built by Colleran Brothers, a Dublin-based contractor, and completed in 1881. Their creation took place as part of the Cardwell Reforms which encouraged the localisation of British military forces. The barracks became the depot for the 87th (Royal Irish Fusiliers) Regiment of Foot and the 88th Regiment of Foot (Connaught Rangers). Following the Childers Reforms, the 88th Regiment of Foot (Connaught Rangers) and 94th Regiment of Foot amalgamated to form the Connaught Rangers with its depot in the barracks in 1881. The Connaught Rangers were disbanded at the time of Irish Independence in 1922. The barracks were taken over by the Irish Army at that time and then renamed Dún Uí Mhaoilíosa after Liam Mellows, an Irish Republican, in 1952. The barracks are now home to the 1st Infantry Battalion. In August 2024, army chaplain Paul Murphy was stabbed outside the entrance to the barracks. A teenage boy was arrested at the scene. As of 16 August 2024, the Special Detective Unit was investigating the incident. In February 2025, the boy pleaded guilty to attempted murder. Dún Uí Mhaoilíosa Museum Renmore Barracks features a museum that recalls the history of the Connaught Rangers, as well as Renmore Barracks' later role as home to the 1st Infantry Battalion of the Irish Army. Irish soldiers engaging in UN Peacekeeping in Congo, Cyprus, Lebanon, Chad and Afghanistan are remembered at the Dún Uí Mhaoilíosa Museum. An axe used by an African tribesman in the Niemba Ambush in the Congo in which nine Irish Army soldiers were killed is featured in the exhibits. The museum has forged links with the Connaught Rangers Association, established in Boyle in 2002. Dún Uí Mhaoilíosa Museum is not fully open to the public, but visitors can make an appointment to visit by contacting the museum curator. See also List of Irish military installations References

Scrabo Tower

Scrabo Tower è una torre del XIX secolo a ovest di Newtownards nella Contea di Down, Irlanda del Nord. Storia Il punto di riferimento, che è visibile da Down, fu costruito su un neck sopra la città nel 1857 in memoria di Charles Stewart, III Marchese di Londonderry che fu uno dei generali del Duca di Wellington durante le guerre napoleoniche. Il terzo marchese, anche noto come Warring Charlie, ereditò il titolo e il posto in famiglia a Mount Stewart dopo il fratello, il secondo marchese, che si suicidò. Il secondo marchese è meglio noto come visconte Castlereagh che servì come Segretario di Stato per gli Affari Esteri e del Commonwealth del Regno Unito di Gran Bretagna e Irlanda. Il progetto della torre è di Charles Lanyon e WH Lynn, e ora si trova in un parco pubblico. Il parco ha molte passeggiate tra i boschi e le vallate attraverso Killynether Wood. La vista dalla collina e dalla cima della torre si stende fino a Strangford Lough, punteggiato dalle innumerevoli isole, fino alle Montagne di Mourne e alla costa scozzese. La torre ospita due piani di visuale e una scala di 122 gradini porta i visitatori alla vista sovrastante. Lo Scrabo Country Park è sempre aperto, l'entrata al parco e alla torre sono libere. Lo Scrabo Golf Club guarda in basso verso la Scrabo Tower la torre si affaccia sulla maggior parte del tracciato.
