Canon Island Abbey

Canon Island Abbey (or Canons' Island Abbey) (Irish: Mainistir Oileán na gCanánach ) is a ruined Augustinian monastery located on the extreme northeast corner of Canon Island (Inisgad) on the River Shannon in County Clare, Ireland. History Canon Island (or Innisgad) was originally called Elanagranoch. The abbey was founded in the late twelfth century. The 270 acre island was granted to the Augustinian Canons from Clare Abbey in 1189 by Domnall Mór Ua Briain (Donald O'Brien), king of Thomond. There are no written records of the abbey until the end of the 14th century. In 1393, a papal document describes the abbey as "so destroyed alike in respect of its buildings as of its books, chalices, and likewise of its temporal goods as to be threatened with ruin". The papal letter offered indulgences to any who would help repair the abbey. The abbey was built on land donated to the Augustinian canons at Clare Abbey, but was a separate community and not dependent upon the larger abbey. The monastery prospered until it was dissolved by Henry VIII in 1540 and the island, monastery and its associated assets and income were granted to Donogh O'Brien, 4th Earl of Thomond. By 1577, Canon Island belonged to Queen Elizabeth. The monks continued to live on the island until it was attacked by Cromewellian forces in 1651. The abbey was bombed during the attack and several monks were killed. After that time, the monastery was unable to continue its religious function. Over the next few hundred years, ownership of the island passed thru succeeding generations of Earls of Thomond until the island eventually passed to local families. The island population was at its height in 1841 at 54 people. By 1966, the census recorded Canon Island as being uninhabited. Since 1990, an annual pilgrimage of island descendants and nearby villagers travel to Canon Island in July to celebrate mass at the abbey. Description Canon Island Abbey is located on Canon Island, in County Clare, Ireland. The island is situated in the River Shannon, east of Inishtubbrid Island and 2.5 km east of the village of Kildysart. It is the largest of 25 small islands that span the crossing of the Shannon and Fergus estuaries. The abbey ruins are located on the north-eastern corner of the 270 acre island. The remaining abbey buildings consist of a church with Romanesque windows, two adjoining chapels, a belfry, a cloister and a large square tower. Roofs are missing from all of the standing buildings. Buildings to the east would have had a sacristy, chapter house and dormitory for the monks. The south range had a kitchen and refectory. The abbey's cemetery has several graves.

National Orthopaedic Hospital Cappagh

National Orthopaedic Hospital Cappagh (Irish: Ospidéal Náisiúnta Ortaipéideach Cheapach), situated in Finglas, Dublin, is the largest orthopaedic hospital in Ireland. It is managed by Ireland East Hospital Group. History Lady Martin, widow of Sir Richard Martin, died in 1907 and bequeathed Cappagh House to the Religious Sisters of Charity "to provide a school for poor children in the neighbourhood". However, it was not situated in a populated area and, from 1921, it was used as a convalescent home for children and a training school for nursery nurses. It was occupied by children who needed long-term treatment with illness such as rickets, tuberculosis, and malnutrition. A school for the children was opened in 1923. The hospital's early development was led by Catherine Cummins (also known by her religious name Mother Mary Polycarp). She organised fundraising and had a key role in transforming Cappagh House into an orthopaedic hospital. Building work, up to the mid-1950s, increased the number of beds and cots from 60 to 260, and new operating suite, X-ray department, and a physiotherapy department were added. From the mid-1950s fewer children were admitted following the discoveries of newer medical treatments and the number of beds was reduced to 164, and more beds were used for adults. From 1961 building modifications equipped the hospital to perform orthopaedic operations. It is now a major tertiary orthopaedic hospital, and provides tertiary elective orthopaedic services for the hospitals of the region including St. Vincent's Hospital, Mater Hospital, Beaumont Hospital, Connolly Hospital, Temple Street Children's University Hospital and the Central Remedial Clinic. A new post-anesthetic care unit was opened at the hospital in 2016. References
Carlow Vocational School

Carlow Vocational School was a second-level educational establishment in Carlow, Ireland. The school closed in May 2017, with students transferring to Tyndall College, Carlow. History The school could trace its origins to the nineteenth century when classes commenced at various locations in the town under the Technical Instruction Act 1889 (52 & 53 Vict. c. 76). Some years later, in 1918, the playwright George Bernard Shaw donated the Assembly Rooms to the people of Carlow for the promotion of technical education. Classes were centralised in these Assembly Rooms on Dublin Street from 1923 onwards. It was formally established under the Vocational Education Act 1930 and continued to be located in the Assembly Rooms. The remodelled and refurbished school premises in Dublin Street was opened on 26 January 1936 by the Minister of Education Mr. Tom Derrig T.D. By the 1960s the school was spread over eight different locations and was providing both a second level educational programme preparing students for the Day Vocational Certificate, the Intermediate Certificate and Leaving Certificate examinations and also education and training for apprentices and technicians. In 1968, the Department of Education gave sanction for the erection of two purpose built structures on the Kilkenny Road to cater for the expanding vocational school population. One building, opened in 1970, was called Carlow Regional Technical College which later became the Institute of Technology, Carlow. This was assigned for the education and training of apprentices and technicians. In 1972 the second building, designed to accommodate 450 second level students, opened and was called Carlow Vocational School. External links http://www.carlowvs.ie/ References

Carriganass Castle

Carriganass Castle (irisch-gälisch: Caisleán Charraig an Easa, dt.: „Burg auf dem Felsen mit dem Wasserfall“) ist die Ruine eines Tower House aus dem 16. Jahrhundert beim Dorf Kealkill, etwa 8 km nordöstlich von Bantry im Westen des irischen County Cork. Geschichte Carriganass Castle ließ vermutlich um 1540 Dermont O’Sullivan, ein Mitglied des O’Sullivan-Beare-Clans, der im 16. und Anfang des 17. Jahrhunderts erhebliche Macht in West Cork hatte, errichten. Die Burg ging durch die Hände verschiedener Mitglieder der Familie O’Sullivan als diese sich bis 1601 in einer Periode interner Kämpfe befand. Dann schlossen sie sich zusammen, um Hugh O’Neill in der Schlacht von Kinsale zu unterstützen. Nach dem englischen Sieg in Kinsale verfolgte einer der Kommandeure, Sir George Carew, die Streitkräfte der O’Sullivans zu ihrer Basis auf der Beara-Halbinsel zurück. Eine kleine Garnison hinterließ man auf Carriganass Castle, während der Hauptteil der O’Sullivan-Streitkräfte auf Dunboy Castle zurückkehrte. Carews Armee nahm Carriganass Castle mit Leichtigkeit ein, bevor sie zur Belagerung von Dunboy Castle zurückkehrte. Die O’Sullivans wurden später enteignet und die Burg geriet in das Eigentum der Barretts, die sie bis in die 1930er-Jahre behielten. In der Zeit, in der die Barretts die Burg besaßen, wurde daneben ein Haus errichtet; die Burg aber verfiel bis zu ihrem heutigen Zustand. Architektur Carriganass Castle war ein typisches, irisches Tower House aus dem 16. Jahrhundert mit einem vierstöckigen Turm, der mit einer 4,2 Meter hohe Kurtine oder Einfriedung umgeben war. Der Hauptturm thront auf einem überhängenden Felsen über dem Ouvane River und hat vier Ecktürmchen. Der Haupteingang in die Burg war durch ein Tor auf der Nordseite der Einfriedung, die ihrerseits vier Ecktürme hatte. Der Hauptturm saß in der westlichen Mauer. Heute ist die Burg eine Ruine; Teile des Hauptturms sind eingestürzt. Wanderwege um Carriganass Castle Carriganass Castle liegt an einer Kreuzung einer Reihe von wichtigen Wanderwegen in West Cork. Der Beara-Breifne Way erinnert an O’Sullivan Beres Marsch von West Cork nach County Leitrim, wo er sich der Flucht der Grafen anschloss. Von Carriganass Castle aus kann man Rundwege verbinden, die Teil des Sheep’s-Head-Way-Netzwerkes von Wanderwegen sind. Auch ist die Burg der Mittelpunkt des St Finbarr’s Way, eines Pilgerpfades, der auf den Spuren der Reise des Heiligen Finbarr von Drimoleague nach Gougane Barra verläuft.

Carriganass Castle

Carriganass Castle (Caisleán Charraig an Easa in Irish, meaning The Castle on the Rock of the Waterfall) is a 16th-century tower house in County Cork. It is situated about 8 kilometres north-east of Bantry, close to the village of Kealkill, in West Cork. History Carriganass Castle was probably built in 1540 by Dermot O'Sullivan, a member of the O'Sullivan Beare sept (or clan), who wielded considerable power in West Cork during the 16th century and early 17th century. The castle passed through the hands of various members of the O'Sullivan clan during a period of internal feuding lasting until 1601, when the O'Sullivans united to support Hugh O'Neill at the Battle of Kinsale. Following the English victory at Kinsale, one of the commanders, Sir George Carew, pursued the O'Sullivan forces back to their base on the Beara Peninsula. A small garrison was left at Carriganass while the bulk of the O'Sullivan force returned to Dunboy Castle; Carew's army easily captured Carriganass before continuing on to lay siege to Dunboy. The O'Sullivans were subsequently dispossessed, and the castle later passed into the ownership of the Barretts, who retained it until the 1930s. During their tenure, a new house was built next to the castle, which deteriorated into its present ruinous state. Architecture Carriganass Castle is a typical 16th-century Irish tower house, with a 4-storey tower surrounded by a 14-foot-high outer curtain wall or bawn. The main tower is perched on a rock overhanging the Ouvane river, and has 4 corner turrets. The main entrance to the castle was via a gate in the north wall of the bawn, which had 4 corner towers, the main tower being set into the west wall of the bawn. The castle is now in ruins, with parts of the main tower collapsed. Carriganass Walks Carriganass Castle marks the intersection of a number of key West Cork walking routes. The Beara-Breifne Way charts O'Sullivan Bere's march from West Cork to Leitrim on his way to join the Flight of the Earls. From Carriganass you can join loop walks which are part of the Sheep's Head Way network of walking routes. The castle also marks the midpoint of St. Finbarr's Way, a pilgrim path which traces St. Finbarr's journey from Drimoleague to Gougane Barra.

Замок Каррігагнасс

Замок Карріганасс (англ. Carriganass Castle, ірл. Caisleán Charraig) — замок Харрагь, замок Скелі Водоспаду — один із замків Ірландії, розташований у графстві Корк, на відстані 8 км від міста Бантрі, недалеко від селища Келкілл, що в західному Корку. Замок баштового типу, побудований у XVI столітті. Історія замку Карріганасс Замок Карріганасс збудований в 1540 році ірландським ватажком Дермотом О'Салліваном з клану О'Салліван Бер, що володів значними землями в західному Корку протягом XVI — на початку XVII століття. Замок переходив із рук у руки — ним володіли різні люди з клану О'Салліван внаслідок внутрішньокланової ворожнечі й боротьбу за владу в клані, що тривала до 1601 року, коли вождь клану О'Салліван підтримав ірландського ватажка Х'ю О'Нейла в битві під Кінсейлом. Ірландська армія була розбита, англійський офіцер сер Джордж Кер'ю переслідував сили О'Саллівана на півострові Бера, що був базою клану О'Салліван. Невеликий гарнізон був залишений у замку Карріганасс, тоді як основні загони клану О'Салліван пішли до замку Дунбой. Англійська армія під командуванням Джорджа Кер'ю захопила штурмом замок Карріганасс, а потім рушила до замку Дунбой. Замок Карріганасс був конфіскований у клану О'Салліван і дарований аристократичній родині Барретт. Ця родина володіла замком Карріганасс до 1930-тих років, хоча жила не в самому замку, а в збудованому поруч новому будинку. Замок був закинутий, стояв пусткою і поступово перетворився на повну руїну. Особливості архітектури Замок Карріганасс являє собою типовий замок баштового типу XVI століття збудований в ірландському стилі. Він був оточений зовнішньою стіною висотою 14 футів. Головна башта замку стоїть на скелі, що нависає над річкою Овейн. Крім основної башти були ще 4 кутові башти. Головний вхід до замку був через ворота, розташовані у північній стіні. Основна вежа примикала до західної стіни замку. Замок продовжує руйнуватися і схоже нікому немає до нього ніякого діла. У той же час замок становить історичну цінність і може бути використаний як об'єкт туризму. Він розташований на туристичному маршруті західного Корка. Мимо замку проходив знаменитий марш О'Саллівана під час Дев'ятирічної війни за незалежність Ірландії (1595—1604), що йшов від півострова Бера до земель Брейфне. Пізніше О'Салліван приєднався до «Втечі графів» і покинув Ірландію після поразки повстання за незалежність. Крім того, замок розташований на так званій «Дорозі пілігрима» — шляху подорожі святого Фіннбарравід Дрімолігу до Гоган Барра.
