Northside Shopping Centre

Northside Shopping Centre is a shopping centre located in Coolock, Dublin, Ireland. It opened in 1970. History Development The plans for the shopping centre were first unveiled in May 1967 by John Corcoran, managing director of Green Property Ltd., the developers of the project, to a member of Dublin Corporation and architect Sam Stephenson (of Stephenson Gibney & Associates). It was stated that the shopping centre was intended to include a library and swimming pool. The main frontage of the shopping centre was facing Coolock Lane which was to change its name to Oscar Traynor Road, after Oscar Traynor. In August 1968, it was stated that work on the centre was to begin in the following two months and the centre would be completed within two years. The centre was a joint venture between Green Property Ltd. and Dublin Corporation. By November 1969, the shopping centre was nearing completion of stage one of construction, with an estimated total cost of £1 million (equivalent to £14,530,023 in 2025). On 20 July 1970, Feargal Quinn, then managing director of Superquinn, announced at the Gresham Hotel that his company was planning to open a 22,000 square feet (2,000 m2) store in the shopping centre in the following months. It was announced in September 1970 that the shopping centre was to open the following month and that the total shopping area of the shopping centre was in excess of 80,000 square feet (7,400 m2). Swimming pool On the second floor was a 10,000 square feet (930 m2) swimming pool operated by Dublin Corporation, the first of its kind in Ireland. The swimming pool officially opened on 5 May 1971. In March 2023, it was announced that the rooftop swimming pool was to be shut down after more than 50 years. Opening The shopping centre was officially opened on 1 October 1970 by British television interviewer and radio disc jockey, Simon Dee. All 56 shopping units in the centre had been fully let out to tenants by September. Refurbishment and sale Renovations and extension in the 1980s and 2008 have covered most of Sam Stephenson's original open-space concept. In 2013, it was announced that a €5 million further refurbishment was about to commence in the centre. This followed the loss of the anchor non-food store, a Dunnes Stores branch, and saw the arrival of new shops, including Heatons (with Sportsworld), new dining facilities, and a Well Woman Centre. The refurbishment was completed in late 2016 following a 2-phase modernisation of both interior and exterior. The centre was numbered among the property assets of NAMA; it was subsequently sold to Patron Capital for €49 million in 2015. In 2019, German investor AM Alpha acquired the centre for €50 million. Popular media The branch of Paddy Power bookmakers in the car park was one of the venues visited in a Channel 4's Undercover Boss episode 3, season 4. References

O’Brien’s Tower

O’Brien’s Tower (irisch Túr Uí Bhriain) ist ein Turm am höchsten Punkt der Cliffs of Moher in der Nähe der Dörfer Doolin und Liscannor im irischen County Clare. Geschichte Den Turm ließ der örtliche Landbesitzer und Parlamentsabgeordnete Sir Cornelius O’Brien 1835 als Beobachtungsturm für die viktorianischen Touristen auf die Klippen bauen, die diese damals besuchten; „Fremde, die die großartige Szenerie dieser Gegend besuchen“. Anfangs soll der Turm als Teehaus gedient haben; er war mit einem großen, runden Tisch und gusseisernen Sitzen ausgestattet. Eine weitere Version der Geschichte berichtet davon, dass O’Brien den Turm bauen ließ, um Frauen, die er verehrte, zu imponieren. An klaren Tagen kann man von dort bis zum Loop Head an der Südspitze des County Clare sehen und sogar darüber hinaus bis zu den Bergen des County Kerry. Nach Norden geht dann der Blick bis zu den Twelve Bens in Connemara (auch Twelve Pins genannt), jenseits der Galway Bay, nach Westen typischerweise bis zu den Aran-Inseln.

O'Brien's Tower

O'Brien's Tower marks the highest point of the Cliffs of Moher in County Clare, Ireland. It is located a short distance from the villages Doolin and Liscannor. History The tower was built on the cliffs in 1835 by local landlord and MP Cornelius O'Brien as an observation tower for the tourists who frequented the cliffs at the time: "strangers visiting the Magnificent Scenery of this neighbourhood". It is said to have initially served as a teahouse, featuring a large round table with seats of ironwork. On a clear day the view can extend as far as Loop Head at the southern tip of Clare and beyond to the mountains of Kerry. Looking north, the Twelve Bens in Connemara (also known as the Twelve Pins) beyond Galway Bay can be seen, and typically the Aran Islands to the west.

Замок О'Браєн-тауер

Замок О'Браєн-тавер (англ. O'Brien's Tower) — башта О'Браєнів — один із замків Ірландії, розташований у графстві Клер на найвищій точці скель Мохер. Популярність скель Мохер серед туристів зумовлює й популярність замку Башта О'Браєнів. Найближчі населені пункти до замку — селища Дулін та Лісканнор. Історія замку О'Браєн-тавер Замок О'Браєн-тавер був побудований у 1835 році місцевим землевласником, депутатом парламенту Сполученого Королівства Великої Британії та Ірландії — Корнеліусом О'Браєном — для туристів вікторіанської доби, що часто відвідували ці місця в той час. Деякий час він служив свого роду «чайним будиночком». Зберігся великий круглий стіл та залізні крісла для тих вікторіанських чаювань. Згідно з однією версією замок було побудувано для того, щоби справити враження на жінок, до яких О'Браєн залицявся. У ясний день із вершини замку відкривається вид на величезну територію — видно скелі Луп Гед (скелі Голова Петлі), гори Керрі, па півночі в ясні дні видно далекі гори Дванадцять Вершин у регіоні Коннемара, а далеко в морі можна побачити острови Аран.

O'Dea Castle

O'Dea Castle, also known as Dysert O'Dea Castle, is an Irish fortified tower house, loosely described as a castle at Dysert O'Dea (Irish: Dísert, meaning 'hermitage'), the former O'Dea clan stronghold, 5 kilometres (3 mi) from Corofin, County Clare. It was built between 1470 and 1490 by Diarmaid O'Dea, Lord of Cineal Fearmaic, and stands some 50 feet (15 m) high on a limestone outcrop base measuring 20 by 40 feet (6 by 12 m). The tower is adjacent to Dysert O'Dea Monastery, close to the R476 road. History The Battle of Dysert O'Dea, which drove the Anglo-Normans from the region for over 200 years, took place at this site on 10 May 1318. The castle was built between 1470 and 1490 by Diarmaid O'Dea, Lord of Cineal Fearmaic. The Earl of Ormond took the castle from the O'Dea clan in 1570 by force. By 1584, however, they had regained it. At that time, Domhnall Maol O'Dea was listed as owner. Domhnall supported the northern Chiefs in the Nine Years' War of 1594-1603 and subsequently Dysert Castle fell to the Protestant Bishop of Kildare, Daniel Neylon, who in 1594 bequeathed it to his son, John. The castle soon returned to the O'Dea clan. Conor Cron O'Dea supported the Confederates and participated in the successful siege of Ballyalla Castle in 1642. After the fall of Limerick in 1651 to the Cromwellian forces, they maintained a small garrison here. When they left, the soldiers demolished the battlements, upper floors and staircase. The Neylon family then returned but during the reign of Charles II, Conor Cron O'Dea regained the castle. Conor's sons, Michael and James, supported the cause of James II and once again lost the castle. The lands passed to the Synge family but the castle eventually and gradually fell into ruin. In 1970, John O'Day of Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin (USA) purchased the tower and had it restored. The castle was then leased to the Dysert Development Association, which, with support from the Irish Tourist Board, opened it as "The Dysert O'Dea Castle Archaeology Centre" in 1986. It showed an exhibition of local artefacts from the Stone Age to 1922. Today Today, the castle is known as the Dysert O'Dea Castle and Archaeological Trails, and is open to the public from May to August. The archeology trails include sites around the tower, including the remains of the Dysert O'Dea Monastery.

O’Donovan Rossa Bridge

Die O’Donovan Rossa Bridge, irisch Droichead Uí Dhonnabháin Rosa, auch Winetavern Street Bridge, ist eine Steinbogenbrücke über den Fluss Liffey in Dublin, Irland. Sie verbindet die Winetavern Street mit dem Chancery Place. Geschichte Die O’Donovan Rossa Bridge ist die zweitälteste Brücke der Stadt. An ihrer Stelle stand bereits 1682 eine hölzerne Brücke, die vom damaligen Bürgermeister und Spekulanten errichtet wurde, um Gebiete nördlich der befestigten Stadt am Flussufer des Liffey zu erschließen. Innerhalb von zwei Jahren ersetzte die Stadtverwaltung die Holzbrücke durch eine Steinbrücke mit fünf Bögen, die in verschiedenen Reparaturzuständen über ein Jahrhundert lang Bestand hatte. Sowohl Holzbrücke wie Steinbrücke trugen den Namen Ormonde Bridge nach dem damaligen Lord Lieutenant, dem persönlichen Repräsentanten des britischen Monarchen in Irland. Der Grundstein für die heutige Brücke, die etwas 50 m von der alten Brücke entfernt gebaut wurde, wurde 1813 von Charlotte Lennox, der Herzogin von Richmond, gelegt, die mit ihrem Ball vom 15. Juni 1815, einige Tage vor der Schlacht bei Waterloo, in die Geschichte einging. Die Brücke wurde 1816 fertiggestellt und beeindruckte damals durch die große Breite und das Gusseisen für die Laternenpfähle und die Teile des Geländers. Nach der Unabhängigkeit Irlands wurde die Brücke 1922 nach dem irischen Freiheitskämpfer und Nationalhelden Jeremiah O’Donovan Rossa in O’Donovan Rossa Bridge umbenannt. Bauwerk Die 45 m lange Brücke wurde von James Savage entworfen und von George Knowles gebaut. Sie besteht aus drei Bögen, wobei der mittlere Bogen mit 14,3 m eine etwas größere Spanne hat als die beiden äußeren mit einer Stützweite von je 13,3 m. Der verwendete Granit stammt aus Golden Hill in West Wicklow. Weblinks O’Donovan Rossa Bridge. In: Bridges of Dublin. Abgerufen am 10. April 2021. Einzelnachweise
O'Donovan Rossa Bridge

O'Donovan Rossa Bridge (Irish: Droichead Uí Dhonnabháin Rosa), previously known as Richmond Bridge, is a road bridge spanning the River Liffey in Dublin, Ireland, which joins Winetavern Street to Chancery Place (at the Four Courts) and the north quays. History 1684 bridge Replacing a short-lived wooden structure, the original masonry bridge on this site was built in 1684 as a five-span simple arch bridge, and named 'Ormond (or Ormonde) Bridge' after James Butler, 1st Duke of Ormond. The construction was overseen by William Robinson. Between 1752 and 1761, George Semple and his brother John Semple I were consulted on the design and maintenance of the bridge and the possible construction of a new bridge. In December 1802, this bridge was swept away during a severe storm which also damaged Ringsend Bridge and Lucan Bridge. Richmond Bridge (1813) In 1813, construction started on a replacement bridge, the current structure, a little further west to the designs of James Savage and was opened in 1816. It consists of three elliptical arch spans in granite, with sculptured heads, similar to those on O'Connell Bridge, on the keystones. The heads represent Plenty, the Liffey, and Industry on one side, with Commerce, Hibernia and Peace on the other. The balustrades are of cast iron. Opened as Richmond Bridge (named for Charles Lennox, 4th Duke of Richmond, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland), it was renamed in 1923 for Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa by the fledgling Free State. References

Le Pont O'Donovan Rossa (en irlandais Droichead Uí Dhonnabháin Rosa) est un pont routier enjambant la rivière Liffey à Dublin, en Irlande. Histoire Remplaçant une structure en bois de courte durée, le pont de maçonnerie d'origine sur ce site a été construit en 1684 sous la forme d'un pont en arc simple à cinq travées, et nommé Ormonde Bridge. En décembre 1802, ce pont fut emporté par une violente tempête.[réf. nécessaire] En 1813, la construction d'un pont de remplacement - la structure actuelle - des plans de James Savage a commencé et a été ouverte en 1816. Il se compose de trois travées d'arcs en granit, avec des têtes sculptées, semblables à celles du pont O'Connell. Les têtes représentent Plenty, la Liffey et l'Industrie d'un côté, avec le Commerce, Hibernia et la Paix de l'autre. Les balustrades sont en fonte.[réf. nécessaire] Ouvert sous le nom de Richmond Bridge (du nom de Charles Lennox, 4e duc de Richmond, Lord Lieutenant d'Irlande), il a été rebaptisé en 1923 en l'honneur de Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa par le jeune État libre d'Irlande.

Oakgrove Integrated College

Oakgrove Integrated College is a grant maintained integrated secondary school in Derry, Northern Ireland. Context Integrated Education is a Northern Ireland phenomenon, where traditionally schools were sectarian, either run as Catholic schools or Protestant schools. On as parental request, a school could apply to 'transition' to become Grant Maintained offering 30% of the school places to students from the minority community. Lagan College was the first integrated school to open in 1981. As of 2024, students at Oakgrove were 15% Protestant, 68% Roman Catholic and 17% other. History The college, which was formed with the hope of integrating young people from both sides of Northern Ireland's religious divide, opened in September 1991. Marie Cowan was the principal when it opened in the old Housing Executive offices at Limavady Road. It then moved to an old red brick building at the Gransha Hospital in September 1992. A new purpose-built facility, built at a cost of £9.7 million, was completed in 2004.

Obel Tower

The Obel Tower is a highrise building in Belfast, Northern Ireland, located on Donegall Quay on the River Lagan beside the Lagan Weir. Measuring 85 metres (279 ft) in height, the tower is the tallest storeyed building in Ireland, dominating the Belfast skyline. On completion it overtook the previous tallest building in Belfast and Northern Ireland, Windsor House (80 m). History Obel Tower was developed by the Karl Group at a cost of £60 million. Its name derives from "obelisk" and "old Belfast". The tower contains 233 apartments. The first 182 apartments released in March 2005, priced from £100,000 to £475,000, were reserved off plan within 48 hours. Construction work on phase one of the project, the foundations and 2 storey basement carpark, began in January 2006. In mid-2007 construction work on the site ceased, and all of the construction equipment was removed; construction then recommenced on 17 June 2008. Planning permission was granted in January 2008 for an extra two floors to be added to the tower to cater for further demand in apartment space. The anticipated completion date was originally summer 2010; however, owing to the construction moratorium the building was not completed until spring 2011. These extra floors brought the overall height up from 80.5 metres to 85 metres. In April 2011 it was announced that London law firm Allen & Overy was to rent all of the available office space at the Obel. In October 2011 local catering firm Mount Charles opened its second 'Fed and Watered' branded cafe in one of the retail units on the ground floor. On Friday 30 November 2012 administrators were appointed to Obel Ltd, Obel Offices Ltd and Donegall Quay Ltd. The three firms control the residential complex. According to the BBC, the main firm, Donegall Quay, is unable to pay debts to the former Bank of Scotland Ireland (BoSI) — believed to be more than £51m. New York based Marathon Asset Management acquired the Obel development for more than £20m during 2014. Obel 62 (the tower) received a £2m refurbishment during 2016. The work included refurbishment of communal areas and installation of a solar window film by Solartek Films Ltd.
