Shannon Free Zone

The Shannon Free Zone is a 2.43 square kilometres (600 acres), international business park adjacent to Shannon Airport, County Clare, in Ireland. It is 18 km from Ennis and 20 km from Limerick. It was established in 1959, as the world's first "modern" free-trade zone. Businesses based on the site enjoyed special tax incentives on staff and profits until 2003, which attracted a large number of multinational companies to the area. History In the late 1950s, Shannon Airport was dependent on transit passengers and refuelling for trans-Atlantic flights. With indicators that commercial aircraft would soon have the range to bypass the airport, the airport's then director, Brendan O'Regan, submitted a proposal for a special manufacturing and tax incentive zone to be created in the vicinity of the airport. This would create employment and promote Shannon Airport as a destination for air traffic in itself. The site adjacent to the airport was established in 1959, with a second zone, Smithstown, following a number of years later. The Shannon Free Zone was intended to attract investment in exchange for tax incentives and tariff reductions. It succeeded in attracting foreign investment. While many of these incentives have since ceased, as of 2019, there were reportedly more than 100 international firms employing more than 8000 people based at the Shannon Free Zone. Companies who have invested at Shannon have included Element Six (formerly DeBeers Industrial Diamonds), GECAS, GE Sensing, Intel, Lufthansa Technik, Zimmer and UCB. Until 2014, the Shannon Free Zone was managed by Shannon Development, an Irish government agency. As of 2020, it is managed by Shannon Commercial Properties, a commercial semi-state company and part of Shannon Group plc. Shannon Free Trade Zone has been an example that influenced China's Special Economic Zones, and it has been visited by Chinese leaders including Jiang Zemin (in 1980) and later Wen Jiabao and Xi Jinping.

Cattedrale di San Canizio

La cattedrale di San Canizio (St Canice's Cathedral in inglese) è la cattedrale anglicana della città di Kilkenny in Irlanda. Dista cento metri dal fiume Nore e si raggiunge tramite una scalinata, i St Canice's Steps, che risalgono al 1614. Attorno alla cattedrale sorgono il cimitero, una torre rotonda (tipica costruzione difensiva dei monasteri medioevali irlandesi) ed il palazzo vescovile del XVII secolo. Storia L'attuale cattedrale fu costruita tra il 1202 e il 1285 ma sorge su una preesistente costruzione, infatti tale luogo era probabilmente importante anche in era precristiana. Con l'avvento del cristianesimo nell'area fu edificato un primo luogo di culto, un monastero fondato da san Canizio, patrono di Kilkenny. La chiesa moderna fu costruita nel primo stile gotico inglese, ma fu più volte distrutta e ricostruita. Nel 1332 la torre campanaria crollò, danneggiando la chiesa il cui tetto era stato rifatto dal figlio di Alice Kyteler; nel 1650 le truppe di Oliver Cromwell, comandante inglese che devastò l'Irlanda, sfregiarono e danneggiarono la chiesa, usandola come stalla. Descrizione La cattedrale è famosa per le molte antiche lapidi e per un'antica iscrizione in normanno in memoria di Keteller. Importante anche la sedia in pietra di san Kieran, incorporata ora nel muro, risalente al XII secolo. Nel transetto meridionale della cattedrale è presente una lapide nera, con le effigi di Piers Butler e della moglie Margaret Fitzgerald. La torre campanaria, alta 30 m, sorge accanto alla cattedrale ed è la struttura più antica di tutto il complesso, costruita tra il 700 e il 1000 sul sito di un cimitero cristiano ancora più antico.

Kathedraal van Kilkenny

De kathedraal van Kilkenny of Sint-Canicekathedraal (Engels: Kilkenny Cathedral, St Canice's Cathedral, Iers: Ardeaglais Naomh Cainneach) is een kathedraal in het Ierse Kilkenny. De St Canice's Tower is een Ierse round tower uit de 9de eeuw. De kathedraal dateert uit de 13de eeuw. Eind 12e eeuw bouwden de Normandiërs onder leiding van William Earl Marshal in Kilkenny een kasteel en een nieuwe kathedraal. Op de plaats van de huidige kerk hebben in vroegere tijden waarschijnlijk meerdere kerken gestaan. De ronde Toren is eveneens een religieus bouwwerk die normaal in de nabijheid van een klooster werden gebouwd hoewel hier waarschijnlijk nooit een klooster heeft gestaan. Onder leiding van bisschop Hugh de Mapilton (1251-1260) zijn in een eerste fase waarschijnlijk het koor, de dwarsbeuken en de kruistoren heeft gebouwd. Rond 1285 werd het bouwwerk voltooid met het schip en de Mariakapel door bisschop Geoffrey de St Leger (1260 -1286). In 1332 stortte gedurende een zware storm de toren in en vernielde daarbij een deel van het koor en de kapellen pas in het midden van de 14e eeuw werd de schade hersteld en in de oostelijke muur een groot gebrandschilderd raam geplaatst. In 1650 werd door Oliver Cromwell tijdens een militaire campagne de kathedraal gedeeltelijk verwoest, de kathedraal bleef twaalf jaar lang verlaten en zonder dak. In de daarop volgende eeuwen is de kerk meerdere malen gerestaureerd In de 19 eeuw richtte Charles Augustus Vignoles met een plaatselijk geestelijke James Graves Kilkenny Archaeological Society op, er werd eerst belangrijk archeologisch onderzoek gedaan waarbij o.a. resten van een vroegere sten kerk ontdekten. Na zijn terugkeer van een zevenjarige ballingschap in Frankrijk (ten gevolge van een kerkelijk geschil) werden de restauratiewerkzaamheden direct hervat en in 1900 voltooid. De kathedraal verkreeg toen zijn huidige originele middeleeuwse gotische stijl en aanzien. Externe link Officiële website

Shimna Integrated College

Shimna Integrated College is an integrated secondary school based in Newcastle, County Down, Northern Ireland. The all-ability school was founded in 1994 with the hope of integrating young people from both sides of Northern Ireland's religious divide and giving all of its students 'self-esteem'. Context Integrated Education is a Northern Ireland phenomenon, where traditionally schools were segregated, either run as Catholic schools or Protestant schools. On 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. History It opened in September 1994 with 60 pupils. In March 2011, Shimna became the first school in Northern Ireland to organize a gay-straight alliance. Site The original buildings are in the process of being replaced with a £16.5m three storey building that meets 2021 design requirements. The plans were approved at the planning committee meeting in April 2021 with completion predicted for September 2023.

Shrule Castle

Shrule Castle (irisch Caisleán Shruthair) ist die Ruine einer Turmburg beim Dorf Shrule im irischen County Mayo. Geschichte Um 1238 ließ die Familie De Burgh die Burg an den Ufern des Black River an der Grenze zwischen den Grafschaften Mayo und Galway errichten. 1308 erhielt John de Burgh (1286–1313) das Anwesen von seinem Vater Richard Og de Burgh, 2. Earl of Ulster. Die Burg wurde 1570 von einer starken Streitmacht unter der Führung von Sir Edward Fitton dem Älteren, Lord President von Connacht und Vice Treasurer of Ireland, und bestehend aus Söldnern der MacDonnells von Knocknacloy, eingenommen. Mac Uilliam Ochtair, Lord of Thomond, die De Burghs aus Mayo und die MacDonnells von Mayo führten eine Streitmacht an, die die Burg zurückerobern sollte, aber dies gelang nicht. Der Clanchef der MacDonnells von Knockacloy, Calvagh MacDonnell, fiel am 18. Juni 1570 in einer Schlacht, in der auch Edward Fitton seines Pferdes verlustig ging und schwer im Gesicht verwundet wurde. William Burke bewohnte die Turmburg und hinterließ sie 1574 seinem Sohn. Im Jahre 1610 verpachtete Richard Burke, 4. Earl of Clanricarde, Burg und Ländereien an Pierce Lynch aus Galway. Weblinks und Quellen Shrule Castle.

The college is named after Slemish Mountain near Ballymena in mid-Antrim, which tradition suggests was home to Saint Patrick during his youth. Context Integrated Education is a Northern Ireland phenomenon, where traditionally schools were sectarian, either run as Catholic schools (Maintained) or Protestant schools (Controlled).

In 1947, Sligo Grammar School was merged with Sligo High School which was founded by Dean Ardill in 1911. The premises of the High School were closed and the residence known as the "Hermitage", adjoining the Grammar School, was purchased from the Campbell family to house the girl boarders. A new teaching block was added in 1971, and expanded in 1985 and 2002. In August 1976, the school was leased by the Incorporated Society to Sligo Grammar School Limited, which runs the school through a local Protestant board.
