George's Dock, Dublin

George's Dock (Irish: Duga Sheoirse) is a Georgian dock in the Docklands area of Dublin forming part of the International Financial Services Centre. History Located near the Custom House, the dock was originally built in 1821 as a working maritime dock and was named for George IV of the United Kingdom. The Inner Dock (previously Revenue Dock), was constructed a few years later in 1824 following the death of John Rennie the Elder and was completed by his son, John Rennie the Younger. Along with the old Custom House Dock, designed by James Gandon in 1796, the three docks and the various warehouses formed what was later known as the Custom House Docks. The Old Dock was infilled in 1927 with many of the store buildings and the swing bridge across the inlet removed to make way for an extension of Amiens Street and Beresford Place through to Custom House Quay, thus creating a new stretch of road now known as Memorial Road. It would later link to Talbot Memorial Bridge in 1978. As with other public spaces within the Docklands, George's Dock was redeveloped during the 1980s and 1990s with elements of the Custom House Harbour apartment complex being constructed on a new island within the Inner Dock. In 2016, the dock was transferred to Dublin City Council ownership from the disbanded Dublin Docklands Development Authority. George's Dock has been used by Dublin City Council as an event space including for the annual Dublin Oktoberfest festival and the showing of sporting and live music events. In 2021, controversial plans to convert the dock into a white water rafting facility were postponed after a Dublin City Council vote. Transport hub From a transport perspective, the George's Dock Luas stop is served by the Luas Red Line which runs from Tallaght to Connolly and from Busáras to Point Village (3Arena). Dublin Bus serves nearby North Wall Quay and East Wall Road with routes 33d, 33x, 53a, 74, 74a, 90, 142, 151 and the 747 Airlink service to Dublin Airport. The Red Line extension opened on 9 December 2009. The George's Dock Luas bridge was damaged by fire in August 2025, and Transdev stated that they planned to rebuild it by the "end of November" 2025. It duly reopened on 28 November 2025. See also CHQ Building References
St. Michan's Catholic Church, Dublin

St. Michan's Catholic Church is a Catholic Church located on the Northside of Dublin, Ireland. It is the parish church for the Halston Street Parish in the Archdiocese of Dublin. History The church was built between 1810 and 1817. It was constructed before Catholic Emancipation (1829) and wasn't allowed an entrance that opened onto a main street. The presence of Green Street Courthouse and Newgate Prison had elevated the importance of Halston Street at the time and so entry to the church was through the less important Anne Street North to the west. In the late nineteenth century, the addition of a tall castellated tower by George Ashlin to the east provided a new entrance from Halston Street. The church contains a number of impressive stained-glass windows by German stained-glass designers and manufacturers, Mayer & Company of Munich as well as a window attributed to Harry Clarke in the Mortuary Chapel. Since 2012, the Romanian (Greek Rite) Catholic Community have used Halston Street Parish for their services. Notable people associated with St. Michan's Archbishop Patrick Fitzsimons served as parish priest at St. Michan's from 1744 to 1763, prior to becoming Archbishop of Dublin Archbishop John Linegar, served as a curate in St. Michan's, serving from 1697 to 1707, from nearby Broadstone, he is buried in the church graveyard. Cornelius Nary, Catholic writer, controversialist, and activist, served as parish priest References External links "Halston Street Parish – St Michan's Catholic Church". halstonstreetparish.

Inchicore Public Library

Inchicore Public Library is an art deco style public library in Inchicore, Dublin designed by Robert Sorley Lawrie working in the city architect's office under Horace O'Rourke. The library building is one of four similar libraries built by Dublin Corporation between 1935 and 1940 in the Dublin suburbs of Phibsborough, Ringsend, Drumcondra and Inchicore. It is included in the Record of Protected Structures maintained by Dublin City Council. The building closed in 2020, initially for planned refurbishment works, with Inchicore's public library operating from temporary premises on the grounds of the former Richmond Barracks. While unoccupied, a pipe in the building burst in December 2022, causing significant damage. As of late 2025, the art deco building remained closed and the refurbishment works incomplete. While Dublin City Council suggested that the building could reopen in early 2027, there were no specific decisions on "what it will be used for".

St Patricks Tower

St Patricks Tower is a former smock windmill that was built to power the Thomas Street Distillery in Dublin, Ireland. It is on Thomas Street, near the corner with Watling Street and is now part of The Digital Hub. The structure is included in the Record of Protected Structures maintained by Dublin City Council. The mill was built in 1757 and rebuilt in 1815. A weathervane at the top of the structure includes a representation of Saint Patrick holding a crozier. This figure and the tower's copper cupola were added in the late 19th century. The tower's name derives from these additions. References
Newbridge Town Hall

Newbridge Town Hall (Irish: Halla an Bhaile Droichead Nua) is a municipal building in Main Street in Newbridge, County Kildare, Ireland. It is currently used as a community events venue. History The building was commissioned as a combined chapel and school for Newbridge Barracks in the mid-19th century. The barracks were used by British cavalry regiments and located on and around the area now occupied by St Conleth's Park and the site selected for the new building was on the northwest boundary of the barracks compound. The building was designed in the Gothic Revival style, built in ashlar stone and was completed in 1860. The design involved an asymmetrical main frontage of nine bays facing onto Main Street. The left-hand bay contained a small arched doorway, while the other eight bays were fenestrated by arched metal lattice windows. The bays were flanked by buttresses. The main access was at the southwest end of the building, where there was an arched doorway with voussoirs, and a trefoil above. After the British Army had handed over the barracks to republican forces in May 1922, the site was secured by representatives of the Irish Free State and the barracks were used as an internment camp. However, the combined chapel and school was of no further military use and was acquired by the local town commissioners for municipal use in 1927. The conversion works involved the installation of internal partitions to create a series of offices. Following implementation of the Local Government Act 2001, under which the town commissioners were succeeded by Newbridge Town Council, the town hall became the offices of the new council. The building became vacant after the town council was abolished in 2014. The building was subsequently restored: the works, which involved the replacement of the slate roof, repairs to the metal lattice windows and the remove of internal partitions, was completed in November 2015. The main hall was subsequently made available for community use. References
Athy Courthouse

Athy Courthouse is a judicial building in Emily Square, Athy, County Kildare, Ireland. The structure, which was previously used as a corn exchange, is listed on the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage. History The building was commissioned in the mid-19th century as a corn exchange by Augustus FitzGerald, 3rd Duke of Leinster, whose seat was at Carton House. It was designed by Frederick Darley in the Tudor Revival style, built in rubble masonry and was officially opened on 6 October 1857. The design involved a central courthouse block with a single storey loggia of four bays on either side. There was originally a small porch at the north end, although this was later converted into a toilet, and an office block of four bays at the south end. Above the loggia, there were three sash windows with architraves surmounted by moulded gables with finials. Internally, the principal room was the main hall which was 70 feet (21 m) long and 30 feet (9.1 m) wide. Large quantities of corn were purchased there for the local mills and for the Dublin market. The main hall was found to be badly ventilated and poorly lit, and by the 1860s, it was in limited use. Its use as a corn exchange declined further in the wake of the Great Depression of British Agriculture in the late 19th century. It was therefore converted for use as the local courthouse at around that time. The assizes were held in Athy in the early 20th century, but during the Irish War of Independence, the building was completed destroyed by fire in an attack by Irish Republican Army volunteers on 20 July 1920. It was rebuilt to a design by Foley and O'Sullivan in around 1928. It then hosted regular meetings of the district court and quarterly meetings of the, more senior, circuit court. It also hosted for the County Kildare Gaelic Athletic Association convention in February 1932. However, by the mid-1990s the fabric of the building was in a poor condition. A major programme of refurbishment works was carried out by local contractors, D. and J. Carbery, at a cost of circa £362,000 to a design my Michael Lysaght in the late 20th century: it was officially re-opened by the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, John O'Donoghue, on 21 June 2001.

Glin Castle

Glin Castle is a Georgian country house and protected structure located along the River Shannon in Glin, County Limerick, Ireland. It was built in the late 18th century to replace an earlier tower house of the same name. The estate has belonged to the FitzGerald family for over 700 years and was the seat of the Knights of Glin.

Later Neo-classical elements were added to the building. Other structures on the estate, including a gate lodge, agricultural outbuildings, gate house, and follies. were added in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. In 1923, during the Irish Civil War, a group of Sinn Féin members attacked the castle. In 1993, the FitzGeralds decided to turn the castle into a hotel to help pay for the upkeep.

Castelo de Glin

Castelo Glin é uma casa senhorial georgiana e uma estrutura protegida, situada nas margens do Rio Shannon, em Glin, no Condado de Limerick, Irlanda. Foi construída no final do século XVIII, substituindo uma anterior casa torre com o mesmo nome. A propriedade pertence à família FitzMaurice/FitzGerald há mais de 700 anos e foi a residência oficial dos Cavaleiros de Glin. História Os FitzGeralds e FitzMaurice estabeleceram-se na região no século XIII, na sequência da Invasão Anglo-Normanda da Irlanda, no próximo Castelo Shanid. Castelo No século XIV, o Senhor de Desmond conferiu um título de cavalaria hereditário ilegítimo ao seu filho, criando assim o Cavaleiro de Glin. Mandou construir o Castelo Glin na própria vila de Glin, que se tornou a sede permanente dos Cavaleiros de Glin. O castelo foi atacado durante as Rebeliões de Desmond no século XVI, durante a Conquista Cromwelliana da Irlanda no século XVII, nas Revoltas Jacobitas e aquando da implementação das Leis Penais. Em 1601, o castelo foi sitiado por um exército inglês e o filho do Cavaleiro foi raptado. Casa georgiana No final do século XVII, o castelo foi abandonado e a família FitzGerald instalou-se numa casa comprida de colmo, contígua ao antigo castelo. John Bateman FitzGerald, 23.º Cavaleiro de Glin, casou com Margaretta Maria Fraunceis Gwyn na década de 1780 e utilizou o seu dote para construir uma nova residência no estilo georgiano. Posteriormente, foram adicionados elementos neoclássicos ao edifício. Outras estruturas foram acrescentadas à propriedade nos finais do século XVIII e início do século XIX, incluindo uma casa de portão, dependências agrícolas, casa de entrada, e falsos monumentos arquitetónicos (follies). Em 1923, durante a Guerra Civil Irlandesa, um grupo de membros do Sinn Féin atacou o castelo. Em 1993, os FitzGerald decidiram converter o castelo num hotel, com o intuito de financiar a sua manutenção. O hotel encerrou em 2008. Em 2011, Desmond FitzGerald, 29.º Cavaleiro de Glin faleceu sem descendência masculina. Em 2015, o castelo foi colocado em leilão na Christie's por Lady FitzGerald. O imóvel não foi vendido. Para manter a propriedade na família, foi adquirido por Catherine FitzGerald, filha do último Cavaleiro de Glin, e pelo seu esposo, Dominic West. Atualmente, o casal gere o castelo como residência familiar e local para aluguer exclusivo. Galeria Referências Ligações externas Página oficial Arquivado em 2 março 2019 no Wayback Machine
