Silent Valley Reservoir

Das Silent Valley Reservoir (irisch Taiscumar Ghleann an Chiúnais) ist ein Stausee in den Mourne Mountains nahe Kilkeel im County Down in Nordirland. Aus ihm werden das County Down, die umgebenden Counties und ein Großteil Belfasts mit Trinkwasser versorgt. Es wird von der Northern Ireland Water Ltd betrieben. Mehr als 9.000 Arbeiter waren zwischen 1923 und 1933 am Bau beteiligt. Geschichte Durch den rasanten Einwohnerzuwachs in Belfast wuchs auch die Nachfrage nach Trinkwasser, die die zwei vorhandenen Einzugsgebiete nicht mehr befriedigen konnten. Aus fünf möglichen Standorten wurde Mournes aufgrund der Wassergüte und der Niederschlagshäufigkeit ausgewählt. Zum Schutz vor Weidevieh ist das gesamte Gebiet mit einer 35 km langen Trockenmauer umgeben. Die Entwicklung vollzug sich in drei Stufen: Zunächst wurde das Wasser aus dem Kilkeel und dem Annalong mit Rohren in ein Reservoir nahe Carryduff geleitet. Dann wurde ein Stausee am Kilkeel gebaut und weitere Wasserleitungen verlegt. Nach längeren Diskussionen der technischen Möglichkeiten wurde ein Tunnel durch den Slieve Binnian gebaut, um Trinkwasser vom Annalong in das Silent Valley Reservoir zu leiten. Der Binnian Tunnel Zwischen 1947 und 1951 trieben mehr als 150 Arbeiter den mehr als 4 km langen Tunnel durch den Slieve Binnian. Der Binnian Tunnel stellte den gewachsenen Trinkwasserbedarf Belfasts sicher. Er wurde offiziell am 28. August 1952 eröffnet.

Kilcolman Castle

Kilcolman Castle is a tower house located in County Cork, Ireland. It was formerly the residence of the poet Edmund Spenser. Location Kilcolman Castle is located 4.4 km (2.7 mi) east-northeast of Buttevant, on the northeast edge of Kilcolman Bog, near the upper branches of the River Awbeg and south of the Ballyhoura Mountains. History This was anciently the site of a ringfort named Cathair Gobhann, "the smith's cathair", belonging to the Uí Rossa tribe of Mogh Ruith. The castle was built in the 1420s by James FitzGerald, 6th Earl of Desmond, who bought the land from William, Lord Barry around 1418. Confiscated by the Crown after the Second Desmond Rebellion (1579–1583), the castle passed to Philip Sidney. He granted it, together with 3,028 acres (12.25 km2) of land, to Edmund Spenser around 1586–1587. He refurbished the castle and lived there for ten years, during which time, he wrote his epic poem The Faerie Queene (published 1590–96), inspired by the Tudor conquest of Ireland and influenced by the wild Munster scenery. He also wrote A View of the Present State of Irelande, Epithalamion, the Amoretti sonnet sequence and Colin Clouts Come Home Againe. In 1598, during the Nine Years' War, Kilcolman Castle was destroyed by the forces of Hugh O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone. Spenser escaped; his son Sylvanus rebuilt Kilcolman but it was again destroyed in 1622 and, afterwards, abandoned. Description It is a typical late mediaeval tower house with a bawn (a curtain wall). It is four storeys tall; on the interior were a basement, parlour, armoury, privy, chapel, study and private rooms.

Spelga Reservoir

Spelga Reservoir is a reservoir in the townland of Spelga (Irish: Speilgeach, meaning 'abounding in pointed rocks') in the Mourne Mountains of County Down, Northern Ireland. It was formed by the Spelga Dam and sits at over 1,200 ft (370 m) above sea level. It has a volume of 2,700,000 cubic metres and a catchment area of 5.423 km2. It occupies an area known as Deers Meadow, and impounds the River Bann, which rises on the nearby Slieve Muck. Construction The reservoir and dam were built as part of a project that had origins in the idea of supplying water to Belfast, in 1894. The Spelga Reservoir itself was developed between 1953 and 1957. As part of the construction, the B27 road was rebuilt above the reservoir to replace the original road submerged by the construction. The Dam was designed by the Belfast engineering firm of R. Ferguson and S. McIlveen and construction was undertaken by John Laing & Sons. Prior to the construction of the reservoir, archaeological excavation was carried out and three groups of transhumant buildings, or booley huts, were identified. Some of the structures were dated to the eighteenth century, but it is thought that the site had been used since pre-historic times due to the presence of flint flakes. Use The Portadown and Banbridge areas receive their water supply from the reservoir. Whilst it has not been stocked with fish for some years, it is home to wild pike and trout. In 2018 and again in 2020, heatwaves and dry weather caused the water level to drop. This exposed a portion of the original road through the Deers Meadow, including a bridge which was formerly the first bridge on the River Bann. References Sources Ritchie, Berry (1997).

Спелга (водохранилище)

Спелга (англ. Spelga Reservoir) — водохранилище в одноименном месте в горах Морн графства Даун, Северная Ирландия. Он образован плотиной Спелга и расположен на высоте более 370 м над уровнем моря. Его объем составляет 2 700 000 кубических метров, а площадь водосборного бассейна — 5,423 км2. Он занимает территорию, известную как Олений луг, и впадает в реку Банн, которая берет начало в близлежащем Слив-Мук. Описание Водохранилище и плотина были построены в рамках проекта, который был основан для обеспечения водой Белфаста в 1894 году. Само водохранилище Спелга было построено в период с 1953 по 1957 год. В рамках строительства была перестроена дорога В27 над водохранилищем, чтобы заменить первоначальную дорогу, затопленную в результате строительства. Плотина была спроектирована белфастской инженерной фирмой R. Ferguson и S. Макилвин, а строительство было предпринято компанией John Laing & Sons. Перед строительством водохранилища были проведены археологические раскопки, в ходе которых были выявлены три группы построек для скотоводов, или хижин були. Некоторые из сооружений были датированы восемнадцатым веком, но считается, что это место использовалось с доисторических времен из-за присутствия кремневых отщепов. История Районы Портадауна и Банбриджа получают воду из водохранилища. Хотя в течение нескольких лет в нем не было запасов рыбы, здесь водятся дикая щука и форель. В 2018 году и снова в 2020 году аномальная жара и сухая погода привели к падению уровня воды. Это обнажило часть первоначальной дороги, проходившей через олений луг, включая мост, который ранее был первым мостом на реке Банн.

Phare de Roches Point

Le phare de Roches Point est un phare situé à l'entrée de Cork Harbour, en mer Celtique, dans le comté de Cork (Irlande). Il guide les navires vers l'entrée du port de Cork.Un phare avait été mis en service le 4 juin 1817. Mais cette tour originale a été jugée trop petite si bien qu'elle a été remplacée, en 1835, par la tour actuelle, plus haute. Le phare est géré par les Commissioners of Irish Lights. Histoire Le système de lumière initial était composé de dix lampes à huile de type Argand et de dix réflecteurs catoptriques. En 1876, l'optique a été changée pour une lentille de Fresnel de 2e ordre qui est encore en usage. Le phare a été converti à l'électricité en 1970. Le feu maritime à occultation de 20 secondes (ouvert pendant 15 secondes et fermé pendant 5 secondes) a été modifié le 15 août 1993 pour devenir Fl WR 3s (un flash blanc et rouge toutes les trois secondes). À partir d'avril 1978, le phare s'allumait aussi dans des conditions de mauvaise visibilité et fonctionnait en même temps que le signal de brouillard. Le phare a des secteurs rouges intégrés dans la lumière principale pour marquer les risques de navigation d'approche du port. Le phare est de forme circulaire, en maçonnerie, d'une hauteur de 15 m avec lanterne et galerie. Elle est peinte en blanc, tout comme les bâtiments adjacents. L'ensemble est entouré par un mur de pierre. En dehors de la tour et du bâtiment adjacent, tous les autres bâtiments ont été vendus aux enchères publiques. Le phare est installé sur un promontoire sur le côté est de l'entrée du Port de Cork. Accessible par route, le site reste ouvert mais la tour n'est pas visitable. Le phare a été automatisé en 1995, tandis que la corne de brume a été désactivée le 11 janvier 2011, mettant fin à une longue période de signalisation du brouillard. Une cloche avait été installée à Roches Point en 1864 pour avertir les marins en cas de mauvaise visibilité. Elle avait été remplacée par une sirène de brume le 1er décembre 1898. Ce signal de brume a changé à nouveau en 1949. En 1995, lorsque le phare a été automatisé, un signal de brume électrique a remplacé le précédent. Il était connecté à un détecteur de brouillard qui activait le signal de brouillard lorsque la visibilité tombait en dessous de trois milles nautiques.

Rockbrook Park School

Rockbrook Park School is a fee-charging, secondary school for boys, located on Edmondstown Road, Rathfarnham, Dublin 16, Ireland. It was established by a group of parents, partly inspired by the work of the founder of Opus Dei. History The school was founded in 1971, first as a "pre-university centre" at 144-116 St Stephen's Green, offering repeat Leaving Cert classes for students. In 1972, classes were expanded. Later, in 1975, the school moved to Rockbrook House and surrounding forty acres buying them from John Brown, who was retiring as chief brewer with Guinness and moving back to England. The price paid was £75,000 Irish pounds. In the summer of 1980, five classrooms and a number of small mentoring rooms were added at a cost of £44,000 Irish pounds. In 2006-2008, Rockbrook built a new school building, car park, sports pavilion and two new soccer pitches costing €5 million. References External links Official website

Rockwell College

Rockwell College (irlandais : Coláiste Charraig an Tobair), fondé entre 1862 et 1863 et officiellement inauguré en 1864 en tant que établissement d'enseignement et de formation de prêtres et par la suite en tant que établissement secondaire catholique privé avec internat, situé sur le townland Rockwell, près de Cashel, dans le comté de Tipperary en Irlande. L’école est réputée pour sa tradition en rugby à XV : elle a remporté 26 fois la Munster Schools Senior Cup et 20 fois la Munster Schools Junior Cup. Elle est dirigée par la Congrégation du Saint-Esprit (Spiritains). Deux présidents de la république d’Irlande comptent parmi ses anciens élèves ou enseignants: Patrick Hillery et Éamon de Valera. L'école est toujours en activité aujourd'hui et ouverte aux garçons et aux filles en régime interne ou externe. Histoire En 1862, Charles Thiébault (dont le frère Gustave est assassiné cette même année) pilote l'installation d'une congrégation catholique constituée de prêtres et frères spiritains, missionnée de former des prêtres pour l'Église catholique en Écosse. Le séminaire est établi par deux prêtres spiritains Jules Leman et Pierre (Peter) Huvétys en juillet 1864 afin d'offrir une éducation catholique dans un contexte marqué par les lois pénales contre les catholiques irlandais, le collège a rapidement acquis un rôle important dans la vie politique et culturelle du pays. En 1896, Patron James O’Donnell, Miss Gorman (de Cashel) et Samuel Burke (de Cahir) ont contribué à hauteur de l’équivalent de 7 000 £ pour la construction de la chapelle du Rockwell College. L’édifice néo-roman, conçu par l’architecte George C. Ashlin et commencé en 1897, intègre des éléments néogothiques et un riche décor en pierre calcaire et bois sculpté. Éamon de Valera, futur président et Taoiseach (chef du gouvernement irlandais), y enseigna les mathématiques. Thomas MacDonagh, signataire de la Proclamation de la République irlandaise de 1916, y fut élève. En 1964, lors du centenaire, De Valera revint visiter l’établissement. En 1997, Pat O'Sullivan devint le premier directeur laïc du collège et, en 2012, Audrey O’Byrne en devint la première femme directrice. En 2017, un voyage spécial en France était organisé.

Rocky Island (Cork)

Rocky Island (Irish: Oileán Cathail) is located in Cork Harbour, Ireland. Situated between the naval base on Haulbowline Island and the mainland, a gunpowder magazine was constructed on the island by the Board of Ordnance in 1808. Used for military storage into the 20th Century, the stores were re-purposed for use by Irish Steel until 2002. It was redeveloped between 2005 and 2007, and is now home to the Island Crematorium, the first crematorium in the Republic of Ireland outside of Dublin. Two bridges connect Rocky Island with the mainland and with Haulbowline. The bridges carry the single lane L2545 roadway. Island crematorium In the early 19th century, the centre of the rocky landscape of the island was excavated and a matching pair of triple-vaulted magazines were constructed; the magazine compound was hidden behind a perimeter of natural rock and a rocky outcrop was retained between the two magazines, on which a watch tower was built. One of the two magazines remains, accessed by a tunnel through the rock; inside the compound there is a courtyard at either end, linked by pair of passageways which flank the main magazine. Following its redevelopment as a crematorium, the central vault of the magazine serves as a 'spiritual space' for funeral services, the north vault contains the 'family and refreshment areas' and the south vault contains the 'staff areas' (including the cremator).

Roscommon University Hospital

Roscommon University Hospital (Irish: Ospidéal Ollscoile Ros Comáin) is a general hospital based in County Roscommon, Ireland. It is situated on the N61 just outside Roscommon town. It is managed by Saolta University Health Care Group. History Early history The hospital was built at a cost of £120,000 and at the time it was built it had "98 beds for surgical and medical cases, in addition to special children's and maternity wards". It was commissioned to replace the infirmary at Abbeytown (now the County Library) and opened as Roscommon County Hospital in November 1941. Closure of maternity services St Anne's maternity ward closed in 1978 when the Health Board refused to appoint an obstetrician-gynaecologist to the hospital. Since that date, there has been no maternity department in County Roscommon. Closure of accident & emergency services The Roscommon Hospital Action Committee (HAC) was a campaign group established to protest against the downgrading of Accident and Emergency services at the hospital. In December 2006, the Roscommon Hospital Action Committee criticised what it called the "fudged language" of the Health Service Executive (HSE) on emergency care at the hospital. Later, in August 2010, thousands of people marched through Roscommon to the hospital where they made a human chain. Taoiseach Enda Kenny confirmed the downgrading of emergency services at the hospital while visiting Roscommon to open a constituency office for Denis Naughten on 27 June 2011. He was met by protesters. While campaigning ahead of the general election earlier that year, Kenny had been recorded by a journalist promising emergency care would be kept at the hospital if people voted for Naughten and Frank Feighan. In July 2011, when the downgrading of services had been confirmed and the recording made public, Kenny spoke of his regret for the confusion his words may have caused voters. During July and August 2011, members of the Roscommon Hospital Action Committee protested at Leinster House, at several bridges over the River Shannon, and at a sit-in at the hospital's 24-hour emergency unit. After a woman discovered files containing the personal details of hundreds of patients from the Midland Regional Hospital, Mullingar, in a bin outside Roscommon Hospital, she gave them to the Roscommon Hospital Action Committee which passed them on to the Data Protection Commissioner. Three investigations were established. In late 2011, despite protests by the Roscommon Hospital Action Committee, the hospital's Accident and Emergency unit closed and was replaced with an "Urgent Care Unit". Since that date, there have been no emergency services in County Roscommon. Recent history The hospital became Roscommon University Hospital in November 2015. References
