Longford Greyhound Stadium

Longford Greyhound Stadium was a greyhound racing track located on the south side of Longford, County Longford, Ireland. The stadium was a ten-minute walk from the town centre and had a large customer car park. Racing took place every Monday and Friday evening and the facilities included a fast food bar and totalisator betting. Race distances were 525, 550, 750 and 805 yards. History Longford Greyhound Stadium was accessed via Earl Street and was the most centrally located track in Ireland. The south Longford venue had a circumference of 485 yards and opened in May 1939. It was organised by two men called Matthew J. Lyons (a local businessman) and John E. Dorris (managing director) who purchased the Sligo greyhound operation and brought it to Longford. Initially the stadium opened for a racing season, starting in the Spring and closing before Winter each year. The track hosted the Longford Derby & Longford Puppy Derby and other events to have taken place previously here are the Padian Cup and Smithwicks 550. In July 1966, John McDermott died aged 73, he had been the manager of the track from its opening night. A later pioneer of the track was Jim Conroy (racing manager). Also in 1966, the track closed for the winter break and looked unlikely to re-open, but the owner Thomas Packenham sold the site to Longford Sports Ltd. In 1974, the track only raced on Friday nights due to the effect of the 1973 oil crisis. In September 1985, the Longford Greyhound Supporters Club was formed. In June 1989, the track celebrated its 50th anniversary with a special a meeting that was attended by Frank Berry (jockey), Larry Cunningham, Eddie Macken and Ray Flynn. In the new millennium, the track battled for survival during hard financial climates, led by Racing Manager Patrick Farrington and the voluntary committee. In July 2014, the sale of the Park Road track was agreed to Scottish-based greyhound owner Howard Wallace. In 2018, it was announced that the track was closing for good but it gained a reprieve. In 2020, the stadium closed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and never recovered from the financial loss, holding its last meeting on 23 March 2020.

Description High crosses Three sandstone high crosses are on the site. A fourth cross is in the river. According to legend, Columba was stealing the cross, was caught by Ciarán and quickly dumped the cross in the river. They are called termon crosses (from the Irish tearmann, "border") which marked the sānctissimus, the holiest part of the monastery around the church. Ogham stone An Ogham stone present reads COVAGNI MAQI MUCOLI LUGINI, meaning "Cuana son of the people of Luigni." The Luigni were noted in Meath from the 8th century onward, and give their name to the barony of Lune. References

St. Berrihert's Kyle

St. Berrihert's Kyle is an ecclesiastical enclosure and National Monument containing cross slabs, wheel crosses, high crosses and a cursing stone located in County Tipperary, Ireland. Location St. Berrihert's Kyle is located in the Glen of Aherlow at the foot of the Galtee Mountains, 4.5 km (2.8 mi) southwest of Bansha. History St. Berrihert's Kyle is named after Saint Berrihert (Berrahert, Bernihardt, Bericheart), an Anglo-Saxon holy man who is traditionally believed to have come to the Glen after the Synod of Whitby (AD 664), and in some biographies is the brother of Gerald of Mayo (d. 731). He may be the same as Saint Berchert. Many Saxon monks came to the region after the controversy at that synod over the dating of Easter. He is probably the same man as St Berichter, the patron of an early medieval ecclesiastical site at Tullylease, County Cork. A cross slab there mentions Beirchachtuire, an Irish version of the Anglo-Saxon name Beorhtwine ("bright friend"). The Annals of the Four Masters mention the death of Berichtir of Tulach Leis on 6 December 839; this could be an error for 739. His feast day is 18 February. In some legends, "Saint Berihert" was the brother of legendary saint Latiaran. A vast collection of stone cross slabs and other monuments were placed in the Kyle (from Irish cill, "church"; a medieval church once stood on the spot). Description St. Berrihert's Kyle is a stone enclosure containing a variety of stone monuments: 72 slabs, fragments of a bullaun stone, four wheel crosses, the head and base of a high cross, the head of a small cross and a slab with an incomplete inscription on it. It is possible that the walls of the church were taken away for other building use, but the carved stones were considered sacred and so were left on site. The stone enclosure is a recent construction, built in 1946 by the Office of Public Works. St. Berrihert's Well Nearby is a holy well; a pool 20 m (66 ft) across traditionally believed to heal scalds and burns. References
Famine Warhouse 1848

Famine Warhouse 1848, traditionally known as the Ballingarry Warhouse or The Widow McCormack's House, is an Irish farmhouse famous as the site of a skirmish in the Young Irelander Rebellion of 1848 (Ireland's contribution to the Springtime of the Peoples), at which the Irish tricolour was flown for the first time. Located 3.9 km (2.4 mi) north-northeast of Ballingarry, South Tipperary, the house was owned at the time of the battle by Margaret McCormack, the widow of Thomas McCormack. Rebels led by William Smith O'Brien besieged 47 policemen of the Irish Constabulary. After the loss of two men the rebels retreated, and were later arrested and transported. Known locally as the Warhouse, it became a National Monument in 1989, was renovated in 2000–01 and was renamed "Famine Warhouse 1848" in 2004. Today it houses a museum with exhibits on the Great Famine and mass emigration, the rebellion, the high treason trials and exile of the Young Ireland leaders in Australia and their escapes to the US.

Dwyer–McAllister Cottage

The Dwyer–McAllister Cottage is a thatched cottage and National Monument located in the Glen of Imaal, County Wicklow, Ireland. Location The Dwyer–McAllister Cottage is located on the northeast face of Keadeen Mountain. A stream located to the west of the house flows north for 1.1 km (2⁄3 mile) and enters the Little Slaney River. History In the aftermath of the 1798 Rebellion, United Irishmen leader Michael Dwyer continued to fight a guerrilla war against government loyalists and yeomen. On 15 February 1799, he and about a dozen comrades were sheltering in three cottages when an informer led a large force of government soldiers to the area. The cottages were quickly surrounded, the first two surrendering, but, following consultation, Dwyer and his men decided to fight on in the third one (Miley Connell's cottage) — after negotiating the safe passage of women and children. In the gunfight which followed, the cottage caught fire and only Dwyer remained unwounded. At this stage, Dwyer's comrade, Antrim man Sam McAllister, stood in the doorway to draw the soldiers' fire on him, which allowed Dwyer to slip out and make his escape. Dwyer remained on the run until 1803. The Dwyer–McAllister Cottage, or 'Dwyer's Cottage', as it is more informally known, was acquired by the Irish State from the Hoxey family on 22 August 1948. President Seán T. O'Kelly, Éamon de Valera and other dignitaries were present at a ceremony to mark the occasion. The house was extended as a museum in 1992 and is open to the public on summer afternoons from mid-June to mid-September. Description The cottage is a detached three-bay single-storey vernacular house, originally built c. 1780, with single-bay portion to the north end, reconstructed in 1992. The walls are constructed in coursed rubble; the pitched roof is thatched and has whitewashed rubble chimneystacks. The entrance is a timber tongue and groove half door whilst the window openings are flat-headed and have replacement 'pivot' timber windows. Internally there are three rooms opening off each other, with whitewashed walls, earthen floors and exposed roof timbers.

Kells Round Tower

Kells Round Tower is a round tower in Kells, County Meath in Ireland. The tower, and the high crosses nearby, are National Monuments. History Kells was founded as a monastic settlement by Saint Columba c. 550 on land that had been gifted to him by the King of Tara - Diarmait mac Cerbaill. Columba was exiled after the Battle of Cúl Dreimhne (AD 561). The Abbey of Kells was re-founded in the early 9th century by monks from Iona. The high crosses were erected in the 9th/10th century and the round tower in the 10th century. The Annals of Ulster state 1076.3 Murchadh son of Flann ua Mael Sechlainn, king of Temair for three nights, was killed in the bell-tower of Cenannas by the grandson of Maelán, king of Gailenga. Maelán's grandson was named Amlaibh (anglicized Awley/Olaf a Norse forename). Amlaib mac Maolain, was the son of Laidgnen/Laidcnen Mac Maolain (Lynan McMoylan), lord of the Luighne, recorded p139 in the charters section of the "Book of Kells", and grandson of Maelan, lord of all north Luighne and Gaileanga d.1017. Awley's forename came as a result of Lynan's marriage the daughter of the Got MaelSechlain, Queen Mor, listed with him in the charter section as witness. Annals of Ulster state U1051.4 Laidcnén son of Maelán, king of Gailenga, went with his queen, i.e. the daughter of the Got, to Rome on his pilgrimage and died. Queen Mor was the granddaughter of Maelmaire, daughter of Amlaibh Curran king of the Dublin Vikings. She had married Mael Sechlain Mor. The Annals of Four Masters state M1021.3 Maelmaire, daughter of Amhlaeibh, wife of Maelseachlainn, son of Domhnall, died. Annals of Four Masters state A.D. 1087. Maelseachlainn, son of Conchobhar O'Maelseachlainn, King of Tara, was killed in treachery and guile by Cathal Mac Muiricen and the men of Teffia, at Ardagh of the Bishop Mel. Like most round towers, it has lost its cap, possibly due to lightning strikes. Tower The tower stands 26 m (85 ft) high. The doorway originally stood about 3.6 m (12 ft) above ground level and was reached by wooden steps or a ladder. Most round towers have four windows on the top level, one for each cardinal direction, but Kells has five, supposedly one facing each road into the town and each town gate. The crosses There are five high crosses: Cross of St Patrick and St Columba (South Cross): the earliest cross, erected in the 9th century. Carved scenes include Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, the Three Children in the Furnace and Daniel in the lions' den. West Cross (Ruined Cross): Adam and Eve, entry into the Promised Land, Marriage at Cana, Baptism of Jesus and his triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Supposedly the cross was damaged by soldiers of Oliver Cromwell. East Cross (Unfinished Cross): incomplete; it gives an insight into how crosses were carved, with the details being added on site. Market Cross: 3.35 m (11.0 ft): as well as religious scenes (including David with lyre, the Binding of Isaac and the temptation of Saint Anthony) there is depicted a deer hunt, birds, animals and centaurs. North Cross: only the base remains. References
Davitt College

Davitt College (Irish: Coláiste Dáibhéid) is a mixed vocational secondary school located in Gorteendrunagh, Springfield, Castlebar, County Mayo, Ireland. History The school, which opened in 1984 would previously be known as 'the tech', would later be named Davitt College by then-principal Joe Langan because "he [Langan] did not like the term ‘tech’ with its derogatory connotations". He had also introduced the school uniform, the first in any vocational school in Ireland as he stated 'was an indication of things to come.' Joe Langan died in July 2006 and in 2011 Davitt College named their new sports hall after him. The school is named after Michael Davitt, an Irish republican and agrarian campaigner who founded the Irish National Land League. He was also a labour leader, Home Rule politician and Member of Parliament (MP). He campaigned for Home Rule and was a close ally of Charles Stuart Parnell, the leader of the Irish Parliamentary Party, until the party split over Parnell's divorce and Davitt joined the anti-Parnellite Irish National Federation. The school was run under authority by the VEC until July 2013 when it was replaced by the ETB. A student who attended Davitt College named Shane Gavin never missed a single day of school in a space of 13 years since he started primary school. Davitt College was one of the first schools in the Republic of Ireland to introduce Politics and Society as a Leaving Certificate subject in September 2016, with the inaugural examination taking place in June 2018. The school is a member of Mayo, Sligo and Leitrim ETB since 2013.

Magh Adhair

Magh Adhair (deutsch „Adairs Ebene“) ist ab 1118 der Inaugurationsplatz der Könige von Thomond und ein Ort archäologischer Bedeutung in der Nähe von Quin im County Clare in Irland. Traditionell bekannt ist es als Ort, an dem die O’Briens inthronisiert wurden. Magh Adhair besteht aus dem etwa 6,0 m hohen, mit einem Erdmantel versehenen teilweise erodierten Cairn, einem weiteren kleineren Cairn, Resten von Erdwällen, einem 1,9 m hohen Menhir, einem Burnt Mound (irisch fulacht fiadh) und einem Bullaun aus violettem Gestein. Der Ort ist nicht ausgegraben und datiert worden, so dass die Ära, in der der Komplex erstmals in Gebrauch kam, Spekulation ist. Der Hügel wurde vermutlich zwischen der Bronze- und der Eisenzeit errichtet. Wahrscheinlich wurde der Platz etwa 1500 Jahre lang in verschiedenen Phasen verwendet. Die irischen Antiquare John O’Donovan (1806–1861) und Thomas Johnson Westropp (1860–1922) glaubten, dass der Name „Magh Adhair“ ursprünglich eine große Fläche beschrieb, vielleicht sogar das gesamte Clare oder die Ebene, von der die Grafschaft ihren Namen hat. Sie glaubten, dass der Bedeutungsbereich kontinuierlich schrumpfte, bis er nur noch für das Feld, in dem das Denkmal steht, und das angrenzende „Moyross/Moyree“ galt. Interessant ist, dass das Suffix Ree aus dem Wort rí abgeleitet wird, was „König“ bedeutet. Der früheste Verweis auf diese Stelle erfolgte erst 981 in den Annalen der vier Meister. Maelseacchlainn, der Sohn von Domhnall, plünderte das Gebiet der Dal gCais und riss die „Bile von Magh Adhair“ aus dem Boden. Eine Bile ist ein Baum von religiöser Bedeutung. Aus den Anmerkungen ist ersichtlich, dass das Fällen eines solchen Baumes ein Vergehen ist. 1051 wurde ein Baum von Magh Adhair von Hugh O’Conor erneut gefällt. In Frosts Geschichte und Topographie der Grafschaft Clare und in O’Donovan & O’Curry's ordnance survey letters von 1839, wird berichtet, dass der Hügel seinen Namen von Adhair, dem Sohn von Umor und dem Bruder von Aengus, einem Häuptling der Fir Bolg, erhielt. In den Lecan-Aufzeichnungen heißt es, dass Amhalghaidh Mac Fiachrach den Hügel von Magh Adhair als Grab für sich bestimmt hat, damit seine Nachkommen Messen am Hügel lesen lassen. Tatsächlich sind Versammlungen oder irachts (dt. Anstrengungen) überliefert, die bis zum 19. Jahrhundert stattgefunden haben. Die letzte bekannte Messe fand im Jahre 1838 statt. Etwa 500 Meter südwestlich liegt das baumüberwachsene dreifach umwallte Cahercalla, das in Beziehung zu den Inaugurationsriten gestanden haben soll. Den Aufzeichnungen des National Monuments Service zufolge gibt es in Clare 940 Ringforts aus Stein (Cashels). Um Quin sind es 40.
