​Real estate matters   -   even in burial

Picture
Picture
​I have spotted a couple of signs at cemeteries, recently, giving notice of upcoming Mass for the Dead. My recollection is that elsewhere these were held in October/November close to All Souls Day.
 
I have blogged before as to Cillíní throughout the country being recognised.
 
The Radio Kerry Saturday Supplement from last year  visited the Cillín at Derrymore and it was said that there is an annual mass for those buried in the Cillín (05:20 minutes in) but this is the only reference that I have seen so far to such remembrances, the majority of Cillín are not recognised, let alone commemorated with a mass………. So far.

​P.S.
 
The number of Cillíní on my To Visit list is increasing:
Annaghdown, Co. Galway

Clontallagh, Co. Donegal

Coomnakilla, Co. Kerry
​

Dumhnach na Leanbh, Co. Galway

Lackan, Co. Wicklow
Lislevane, Co. Cork

Lisselton, Co. Kerry

Loch Con Aontha, Co. Galway

Oileán na Marbh, Co. Donegal

Quilty, Co. Clare


Would be delighted to hear of any more Cillín - marked or unmarked - please do contact

First Time For Everything

​I was this age old when I first saw marketing for a wedding celebrant
 
Maybe it is a factor of my age and upbringing with weddings generally celebrated by priests, I never saw competition between priests for the next gig.
 
I am not the target audience for the branding – luckily for the Celebrant as unsure if it sits well.

Maybe there is no such thing as bad publicity

Agnes Mallin – “My darling wife, pulse of my heart, this is the end of all things earthly…”

28/7/2022

​Once again, a headstone’s simple carved message does not tell the full story
Picture
Last Sunday afternoon, I declined the option of a few hours in Blanchardstown Shopping Centre and exited the car at St Mary’s Church in Clonsilla. My intention was to look for the seven graves that had a request for a photograph on the FindAGrave website.
 
I did manage to find six of the seven. It was only when uploading the photograph of the headstone of Agnes (Hickey) Mallin that I spotted her family tree and her much more well-known husband.

Picture
Picture
Two days prior, we had a great tour of Kilmainham Gaol – highly recommended.
 
It was only with time pressing at the end of our walk around the museum that I cam upon the Last Words exhibit – letters from those executed in Kilmainham in 1926 to their family and loved ones. I did stop at the section to Muriel McDonagh but did not really read any of the others.
 
If our visit to Kilmainham was two days after the cemetery visit, maybe I might have clicked and stopped to read of Agnes, rather than reverting to the interweb.

Another Oré – Hidden in Plain Sight

​Last week had me in Capel Street in Dublin which has an eclectic mix and is much changed from my college days.
 
And there I spotted another art installation by Oré.
 
It was a few years ago that I learnt of the artist but it has taken those years for me to spot another.

The Upside-Down Joiner

25/8/2019

Picture
I am reasonably well used to seeing letters reversed.
 
There is a photograph in our kitchen of our then 5 year old in junior infants, having written and coloured a page with two of the three reversible letters in the name reversed (others being symmetrical). I have seen reversed letters in engravings on Old Youghal Road and Liscleary Cemetery.
 
Until my recent walkabout in Phibsboro, I do not think that I had seen an upside down letter – but I definitely have now.
 
I did not spot it immediately. Something just didn’t look right and it took a while to click.
 
On the other side of the building the ‘J’ is correctly aligned. Maybe it is to provoke thought or conversation among those stuck in traffic on the Phibsboro Road……
 
Or maybe not.

Berkeley – What’s In A Name?

23/8/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
Picture
Logainm.ie does not translate Berkeley. The word Berkeley stays as Berkeley in Berkeley Avenue;   Berkeley Court;  Berkeley Place; Berkeley Road; Berkeley Street; and, Berkeley Terrace. Even the townland of Berkeley in Co. Wexford translates as Berkeley. All reasonable consistent and reflective of the trend not to translate names.
 
But there is a ‘HOWEVER’.
 
I cannot find reference to ‘glascaonóg’ in teanglann, pota-focal or my Irish-English dictionary. ‘Gláscaonóg’ provided similar results.
 
If ‘glas’ is considered an adjective meaning green, there was a chance that ‘caonóg’ might be a word in Irish. That chance did not last long.
 
Neither did the chance of ‘caon’ being in the dictionary, if ‘óg’ is a qualifying adjective meaning young. The option of Young Green Something being a translation disappeared quickly.

Picture
Picture
Logainm does have four references to Caonóg which generally translate phoenetically into English. Keenoge in Co.Monahan, does have a note that ‘caonóg’ means ‘a place for bees’. Keenog, also, in Co Monaghan,  has ‘mossy place’ as a note for ‘caonóg’. Neither ‘Green Mossy Place’ or ‘Green Place of Bees’ sound perfect answers, but they may well be.
 
So I remain lost, on two counts.
 
What does ‘Glascaonóg’ mean?
 
Why have many signs in Dublin 7 containing the word ‘glascaonóg’ as a translation of Berkeley been painted over? Even Bearclí has been painted over.

​UPDATE 2019.08.25

​Very many thanks to Pól Ó Duibhir (Póló), who responded on twitter with a link to SRÁIDAINMNEACHA BHAILE ÁTHA CLIATH which outlines that an old name for the stream Bradóg was Glas Caonóg.
 
The existence of a stream Bradóg goes some way to explain the Irish name on Broadstone which is nothing like ‘Cloch Leathan’.

And That Auld Triangle Went Jingle Jangle

Last month, we spent a few days in a friends’ house near Phibsboro – the location of a number of my student flats in times past.  I took a couple of walks about the place to places known and also on roads not previously travelled.
 
I walked down towards Mountjoy. I have been in three active prisons as well as Cork Gaol and Kilmainham but Mountjoy was the first where there was #StreetArt to welcome visitors on what was the main gate.
 
I left smiling.

A & C   G C - riddle unsolved

​

​Without the ampersand, I might have suspected Átha Cliath Gas Company, a bi-lingual possibility for early form of Dublin Gas Company. With the ampersand, I am clueless.

And the internet has not provided the answer. Sometimes it is more rewarding when the puzzle beats google and lingers unsolved for a time.

This iron cover was spotted a week back on Monck Place in Phibsboro. Inspiration as to meaning still awaited.

I am in the process of getting my thousands of photographs catalogued and uploaded.
 
One of the groupings that I am working on is Street Art so I have been going through different photos over the past while.
 
On Tuesday, I spotted a beauty on Connaught Street in Cabra – absolutely lovely.

St. Ita & Players No. 6

17/1/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
Picture
The twitter feed on Tuesday morning revealed that that day, 15th January, was the feast day of St. Ita.
 
That morning, I was to attend a meeting at the St. Ita’s Hospital complex in Portrane, north County Dublin. I have been told that St. Ita’s Hospital complex is that largest land bank owned by the H.S.E. in the state. Having been there a few times, that does not surprise.
 
I have been in Portrane over the past few years for meetings but the co-incidence of the feast date did resonate a bit and it rattled around my grey matter as a distraction.

Picture
Picture

The first time, I visited was three or four years ago. The building we were to work on had been vacated and partially cleared out. I spent a couple of hours, alone, walking around a large empty three storey former mental hospital making notes and getting to know the building. The only company were a few startled pigeons. Whether they were more startled than me, I am not sure
 
The closing of doors behind me did sound louder than normal. My ears were alert to any noise. I was glad to return the keys to the maintenance crew and hit the road for home. But I was luckier than the Architect. He carried out his initial inspection on a different day but was locked in with the message to give a call when ready to leave.
 
This was an early lesson in the quality of mobile reception. The last person spotted knocking on the windows trying to get out was not a patient, but an Architect who spent two hours longer than intended with some remnants of the previous use to keep him company.
Picture
Picture
​I never asked if he took any mementoes from his trip. I did.  The final clean out had not yet happened so I pocketed some old cigarette packets that lay on the floor. A reminder of the days when there was more than health warnings on the pack.
Picture
Picture
​Driving home on Tuesday, I detoured through Phibsboro and Cabra. I decided to stop and photograph the replacement Liam Whelan Bridge – the plaque has been repositioned in the new concrete structure.
 
Turning back to the car, I noticed an old Players No. 6 ghostsign on the end wall of the building on Connaught St.
 
Players No. 6 was one of the boxes that I salvaged from St. Ita’s.
 
Too many co-incidences not to warrant a blog post.

How difficult is it to spell Cabra?

16/1/2019

Picture
Picture
Thirty three years ago, our student accommodation comprised the top half of a terraced house on the New Cabra Road.
 
My lasting memory is of how cold it was and of three of us using an opened out sleeping-bag for warmth on the couch watching television.
 
Yesterday, I parked very close to the old flat and was struck by the streetsigns – something that I never pondered in those student days.

Picture
Picture
I was first struck by the font – the ‘C’ in Cabra looked bigger than the other letters.
 Then the other letters did not look as if they had been lined up correctly – the ‘R’ in ‘BÓTHAR’ and the first ‘A’ in ‘CABRAÍ’
 Only then did I spot that the ‘Í’ at the end of ‘CABRAÍ’ was a painted addition – similar to Sidney Park and Cahercalla.
 ​Logainm does suggest that ‘CABRAÍ’ is correct but the answers as to who and when the amendments were carried out is possibly a matter of local knowledge and a need-to-know basis.

Placenames in Skerries

I have contributed a number of details of field and placenames to Meitheal Logainm – a crowd sourcing of names/nicknames of fields, crossroads and other features around the country.
 
Having spoken with a few older farmers, every field had a name, or even a number of names, but many names were lost with the selling of farms.
Picture

My brother-in-law’s father worked with Irish Sugar and told of a book that he had that he used when visiting farmers every year as to which fields would be given over to beet that year – the high field, Murphy’s acres…….
 
That book contained the names of very many fields. It was left behind him when he retired and he suspects that it was subsequently consigned to a skip – so much history and lore, lost.
 
Staying in Skerries overnight, I was delighted to spot that they have plaques erected to record the old names of corners – I only spotted two, my next visit will demand a more extensive walkabout for any more.

A Swanzy Connection

20/3/2017

1 Comment

 
Last Saturday, I attended the talk by Dr. Michael Waldon on the current exhibition at the Crawford Art Gallery – Crawford at the Castle. It was very well delivered and full of information.

One of the paintings in the exhibition is by an artist called Mary Swanzy.

When her surname was mentioned, I immediately thought that I had only heard of one other person with that surname – Detective Inspector Oswald Ross Swanzy was believed to have organised the killing of Tomás MacCurtáin on this day, 20th March, in 1920 – his 36th birthday.

Just over a month before, I attended a talk by Vera Ryan, the curator of the ‘Made in Cork’ exhibition . At that exhibition, less than ten paces from where the Mary Swanzy painting now hangs, was a painting of Terence MacSwiney, a friend and successor Lord Mayor to Tomás MacCurtáin – this heightened my curiosity further.

‘Swanzy’ is not a very common name and I wondered as to whether Oswald and Mary were related.
​
There have been a lot of web-searches over the past two days and I have learned a lot about both.
Picture
Terence MacSwiney - Crawford Art Gallery - Nov 2016

​Oswald Swanzy

Oswald Ross Swanzy – RIC Officer – is believed to have ordered killing of Lord Mayor, Tomás MacCurtáin.

Oswald Swanzy was killed leaving church in Lisburn, 22nd August, 1920, by Tomas MacCurtáin’s own gun - a gun held by Tomás MacCurtáin’s granddaughter upto when she donated it to Cork Museum recently.

He was stationed in Carlow R.I.C. Barracks and lived 33 Athy Road, Carlow from 1910 to 1916. The rootsweb directory says he was born 15th July 1881 and baptised on 11th December in Castleblaney.

He is buried in Mount Jerome Cemetery in Dublin as is his father, James (7/9/1849 to 26/2/07) and mother (1855 – 1922). The headstone includes the words ‘who gave his life in the service of his country’.

His parents married in Co. Monaghan in 1877. His father was a solicitor.

His brother, Captain Henry Hubert Swanzy, died of plague when serving in India, aged 28 years on 10th April, 1907. He was born 18th August, 1877.
​
It appears that the Swanzy had family connections in Belfast, Dublin, Antrim and Monaghan.

​They are not listed on the 1901 census online.

​Mary Swanzy 

Mary Swanzy was born on 15th February 1882 and died on 7th July, 1978. Her parents were Sir Henry Rosborough Swanzy and Mary Knox (née Denham). Her sister, Clair was six years older.  Her other sister was Muriel.

Her first one woman show was in 1913. She continued to paint until her death, aged 96.
​
She was one of the first Irish abstract painters. Former art critic with the Irish Times, Brian Fallon, believes her to be the best female Irish painter. Elsewhere, I read that she was one of the best artists of her generation.

I learned that her father was an ophthalmic surgeon; wrote 2 books that are still available;  was knighted in 1908; and was President of the Royal College of Surgeons of Ireland from 1906 to 1908.

​There is a bust of Sir Henry at the Royal Victoria Eye and Ear Hospital in Adelaide Road in Dublin, where Dr. Kathleen Lynn, of 1916 fame, was the first female Doctor.

Connection Made

The R.C.S.I website has a few pages on Sir Henry Swanzy which include that his father was a solicitor, and that the family were descended from Co. Monaghan – a tenuous link to Oswald’s father.

But I had to go back to where I started to get confirmation that Oswald Swanzy and Mary Swanzy, born exactly six months apart, were cousins.

That is one curiosity itch scratched.
​
If you are interested, details of the Swanzy’s listed in the online census returns are below.

Carnegie Library

22/8/2016

Cork still manages to throw up a surprise or two…

Picture

I had mentally filed away that the
Carnegie Library in Cork was on Anglesea Street and was a victim of The Burning of Cork in December 1920. It was built only 15 years previously.

On my travels, I have spotted
Carnegie Libraries in Millstreet and Skerries. There are many others but those two both are nice buildings, particularly Skerries – much more so that the Cork City Fire Station building that now occupies what I understand to be where the part of the Carnegie Library stood – from the photograph, it appears to be on part of the new Civic Offices and the Fire Station (see December).

Both Millstreet and Skerries have plaques to record the Carnegie Library but I have not seen any record on Anglesea Street or elsewhere in Cork.

Earlier this month, I was taking
a scove. Down Tuckey Street, I looked to my left and spotted engraving on top of the pillars that I had not observed before. Maybe it was the light because I had photographed on the access road previously (You’re in Cork Now Like) – or maybe the new glasses are an improvement.

I think these pillars hold the gates to the rear of the City Library – which would make sense.

As they had remained unseen by these eyes for so long, they have now gone on to my ‘Hidden Gems’ list.

BÍONN SIÚLACH SCÉALACH


Kruger has hit top of the charts this month.



It is still early in the month and there are not too many search topics bringing people to the home of my ramblings, here. The search topic topping the list is ‘kruger-gael siulach scealach’ – one of my posts on the family Kavanagh.


It reminded me that I had photographs of the entire
street art installation in Dublin that had posed a question. Reason enough to share.
