Gleann Cholm Cille

Gleann Cholm Cille (en anglès Glencolmcille o Glencolumbkille) és un districte costaner d'Irlanda, al comtat de Donegal, a la província de l'Ulster. Es troba a la Gaeltacht an Láir, tot i que només el 34% de la població són parlants nadius d'irlandès. El principal centre és An Caiseal. El seu nom vol dir "vall de Colm Cille". Sant Colm Cille, o Columba, és un dels tres sants patrons d'Irlanda (juntament amb Patrici d'Irlanda i Santa Brígida). Colm Cille i els seus seguidors van viure a la vall un temps, i en són testimonis les ruïnes de les esglésies que hi van construir. Història Entre el 4.000 i el 3.000 abans de Crist s'hi assentaren pobles agricultors. Hi ha cairns de pati ben conservats a Mainnéar na Mortlaidh i An Clochán Mór. També hi ha dolmens menys elaborats del 2000 aC a Málainn Mhóir. El districte fou famós un cop com a parròquia del pare James McDyer (1910–1987), defensor dels drets dels agricultors i que ajudà a l'establiment d'indústries de base comunitària a la zona. Des dels anys 1930 hi funciona un consell parroquial (Comhairle Paróiste Ghleann Cholm Cille) per curar dels interessos i necessitats dels residents. Els seus membres són escollits entre els residents de l'àrea de l'església de Gleann Cholm Cille cada tres anys. Cultura Gleann Cholm Cille iés la llar de l'artista dublinenc Kenneth King amb obres de temàtica naval, marinera, costanera i de fars. El compositor britànic Arnold Bax va fer moltes visites al lloc entre 1904 i 1930. Aparentment Bax va compondre moltes de les seves obres i poemes mentre va estar aquí. Com a belleses naturals val a destacar els penya-segats de Slieve League (Sliabh Liag), The Silver Strand (An Tráigh Bhán) a Malin Beg (Málainn Bhig), i Glen Head (Cionn Ghlinne). Al centre d'aquesta Gaeltacht, el districte és ben conegut com a seu de l'Oideas Gael, un institut per a aprendre irlandès fundat el 1984 per a promoure la llengua i cultura irlandeses. A Gleann Cholm Cille es van filmar els exteriors de la pel·lícula The Railway Station Man el 1992, amb Julie Christie, Donald Sutherland i John Lynch.

Gleann Cholm Cille

Glencolumbkille ou Glencolmcille (en irlandais : Gleann Cholm Cille) est un village côtier situé sur la pointe sud-ouest du Comté de Donegal en Irlande. Toponymie Le nom de ce village signifie Vallée de Saint Colomba en irlandais. Saint Columba (Colm Cille) est une des patrons de l'Irlande (avec Saint Patrick et Sainte Brigitte). Colm Cille et ses compagnons vécurent dans cette vallée. Les ruines de plusieurs églises peuvent encore y être vues. À la suite d'une dispute avec l'église au sujet du droit de copier des manuscrits religieux, Colm Cille partit en exil sur l'île de Iona, sur le côte ouest de l'Écosse. Histoire Durant le IVe millénaire av. J.-C., des agriculteurs s'installèrent dans la région. On trouve de très bons exemples de leurs chambres funéraires (Court Tomb ou Court Cairn) à Mainnéar na Mortlaidh et An Clochán Mór. D'autres traces de sépultures, des dolmens moins élaborés, datant d'environ IIe millénaire av. J.-C.. peuvent également être vus à Málainn Mhóir. L'endroit fut célèbre à une époque pour avoir été la paroisse du Père James McDyer (1910-1987). Alors que le village s'éteignait, touché par l'émigration, le père McDyer instaura un système communautaire et permit l'installation de petites industries et coopératives. Les limites de ce système très local furent cependant atteintes lors de la crise économique du pays. La source de revenu principale est aujourd'hui la pêche industrielle à Killybegs. Le village est aujourd'hui connu pour son institut d'apprentissage de l'irlandais créé en 1984 pour promouvoir la langue et la culture irlandaise : Oideas Gael. Cette région de l'Irlande fait partie des zones Gaeltacht où l'irlandais est encore parlé. On trouve également dans ce village certains des fondateurs du groupement des auberges indépendantes d'Irlande, les Independent Hostel Owners. Sites environnants Dans les environs, on peut admirer de superbes beautés naturelles, telles que les falaises de Slieve League (Sliabh Liag), la Silver Strand (An Tráigh Bhán) à Malin Beg (Málainn Bhig), ou encore Glen Head (Cionn Ghlinne), le phare de Rathlin O'Birne..

Um conselho de Paróquia vem funcionando desde 1930 em Glencolmcille – chamado de Comhairle Paróiste Ghleann Cholm Cille— para cuidar dos interesses e necessidades dos residentes de Glencolmcille. Membros são eleitos para esse corpo paroquial pelos residentes da igreja local de Glencolmcille, em eleições que ocorrem a cada três anos.

Martello towers in the Greater Dublin Area

29 Martello towers and battery installations were constructed or partially constructed in the Greater Dublin Area between 1803 and 1808. The towers were intended to act as a deterrent against a foreign invasion by Napoleon and his French Armies as well as being used as general lookout posts. In later years, towers were also used as coast guard stations, lookout stations to prevent smuggling and as other general purpose military installations by various British and Irish defence forces. The Killiney bay towers were specifically planned following a 1797 survey by a Major La Chaussée who was employed by the British administration to survey the area and plot out points of weakness and potential locations for military defensive installations.

St John's Cathedral (Limerick)

St. John's Cathedral (Irish: Ardeaglais Naomh Eoin) is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Limerick, Ireland. Designed by the architect Philip Charles Hardwick, ground was broken in 1857 and the first Mass celebrated on 7 March 1859. It replaced a chapel founded in 1753. History Between 1855 and 1861, the English architect Philip Charles Hardwick was commissioned to design the cathedral. At the time he was engaged in some work on Adare Manor. On 1 May 1856 the foundation stone was laid, and the building was consecrated in 1859 but remained unfinished until July 1861. The building of the original structure was undertaken by Patrick Kenna, Glentworh Street. Thomas Byrne undertook the later construction of the tower and spire from 1879. Construction of the tower was delayed by storm damage in September 1882. Following interior renovations, on 21 June 1894 the cathedral was consecrated by Cardinal Logue. A large portion of the original pews, memorials, confessionals, and floor tiles survive. The Bishop's throne or cathedra was produced in Munich in 1894, and has since been removed. Architecture Hardwick was influenced by his time under Augustus Pugin, which can be seen in the Gothic Revivalist style of the cathedral. M.A. Hennessy adapted Hardwick's sketches for the tower, which was constructed between 1879 and 1883, with Hennessy adding 105 feet to the original design. The building is faced using local limestone. The tower was believed to be one of the tallest in Ireland when it was completed. The overall architecture has been described as "severe" with minimal external decoration, and small windows. There is just one statue featured on the façade. In comparison, the tower and spire have more decorative adornments. Between 1893 and 1894, the interior was renovated by Bishop Edward Thomas O'Dwyer which included a reordering of the sanctuary inspired by St Chad's Cathedral, Birmingham. This work was undertaken by Walter Doolin and Messrs Ryan, Limerick. The interior was again amended to take account changes relating to Vatican II. The altar is constructed using Limerick marble and features a carving depicting the sacrifice of Abraham. Restoration The most recent restoration work carried out was in 2003/2004 on the roof and exterior stonework. It is a Roman Catholic cathedral, the city's original cathedral, St. Mary's Cathedral, being Anglican. The building was claimed to have the tallest spire in Ireland at 94 m (308 ft), but a modern measurement showed it is only 81 m (266 ft), shorter than St. Colman's Cathedral, Cobh.

Cathédrale Saint-Jean de Limerick

La cathédrale Saint-Jean de Limerick (St John's Cathedral) est une cathédrale catholique située à Limerick en Irlande, dédiée à saint Jean Baptiste, et cathédrale du diocèse de Limerick. La cathédrale est construite en 1861 selon les plans de Philip Charles Hardwick et est en usage depuis ce temps. La restauration la plus récente a eu lieu en 2003-2004 et concerne la toiture et la maçonnerie extérieure. L'ouvrage possède la plus haute flèche d'Irlande, s'élevant à 94 m, et constitue la plus haute construction de Limerick. Histoire Entre 1855 et 1861, l'architecte anglais Philip Charles Hardwick fut chargé de concevoir la cathédrale. La première pierre fut posée le 1er mai 1856 et l'édifice fut consacré en 1859, mais resta inachevé jusqu'en juillet 1861. La construction de la tour a été retardée par les dégâts causés par une tempête en septembre 1882. Après des rénovations intérieures, la cathédrale fut à nouveau consacrée le 21 juin 1894 par le cardinal Michael Logue. Une grande partie des bancs d'origine, des mémoriaux, des confessionnaux et des dalles de sol subsistent. Architecture Hardwick a été influencé par la période qu'il a passée sous la direction d'Augustus Pugin, ce qui se reflète dans le style néo-gothique de la cathédrale. M.A. Hennessy a adapté les croquis de Hardwick pour la tour, qui a été construite entre 1879 et 1883, Hennessy ajoutant 32 mètres au projet original. Le bâtiment est revêtu de pierre calcaire locale. Entre 1893 et 1894, l'intérieur est rénové par l'évêque Edward Thomas O'Dwyer, qui réorganise notamment le sanctuaire en s'inspirant de la cathédrale Saint-Chad de Birmingham. L'intérieur a de nouveau été modifié pour tenir compte des changements liés au concile Vatican II. L'autel est construit en marbre de Limerick et comporte une sculpture représentant le sacrifice d'Abraham.
