Download or read book The History and Heritage of St James's Hospital, Dublin written by Davis Coakley and published by . This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of St James's Hospital stretches back to 1703 when an act was passed to build a workhouse on its site. Later a foundling hospital was added to the workhouse. When the Foundling Hospital was closed in 1829 the buildings were used to house the South Dublin Union Workhouse, which was commandeered during Easter Week 1916. After Independence, the South Dublin Union was renamed St Kevin's Hospital, becoming a municipal hospital for the poor of the city. In 1971 three of the oldest voluntary hospitals in Dublin amalgamated with St Kevin's to form St James's Hospital. In little time, St James's Hospital became the largest teaching hospital in Ireland. This book describes the history of these developments and their impact on Dublin.

Download or read book The Politics of Dublin Corporation 1840-1900 written by James H. Murphy and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-31 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dublin Corporation, the city's council, was an ancient and prestigious body. In 1840 its system of voting was reformed to allow for more representation by Catholics and in 1841 Daniel O'Connell was elected its Lord Mayor. At the end of the century the boundaries of the city were significantly extended. The intervening sixty years saw the corporation struggle to find a role for itself. Could it be a 'civic parliament', a place where national issues were debated in the absence of self-government? Could it manage efficiently to run a debt-ridden city with a crumbling infrastructure? Could it find a solution to the city's pressing need for a new water supply? Would it sink into conflict over party politics or religious differences? Might it become merely the instrument of outside political forces? This book tells story of Dublin Corporation for the first time, focusing on the visions and conflicts of its members.

Download or read book Spectral Mansions written by Timothy Murtagh and published by . This book was released on 2023-05-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1800, Dublin was one of the largest and most impressive cities in Europe. The city's townhouses and squares represented the pinnacle of Georgian elegance. Henrietta Street was synonymous with this world of cultural refinement, being one of the earliest and grandest residential districts in Dublin. At the end of the eighteenth century, the street was home to some of the most powerful members of the Anglo-Irish Ascendancy. Yet, less than a century later, Dublin had been transformed from the playground of the elite into a city renowned for its deprivation and vast slums. Despite once being 'the best address in town, ' by 1900 almost every house on Henrietta Street was in use as tenements, some shockingly overcrowded. How did this happen? How did a location like Henrietta Street go from a street of mansions to one of tenements? And what was life like for those who lived within the walls of these houses? This is a story of adaptation, not only of buildings but of people. It is a story of decline but also of resilience. Spectral Mansions charts the evolution of Henrietta Street over the period 1800 to 1914. Commencing with the Act of Union and finishing on the eve of the First World War, the book investigates the nature and origins of Dublin's housing crisis in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Commissioned by Dublin City Council Heritage Office in conjunction with the 14 Henrietta Street Museum, the book uses the story of one street to explore the history of an entire city.

Download or read book Dublin, 1930-1950 written by Joseph Brady and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1930s and 1940s, Dublin took on the characteristics of today's city. Decisions taken about the location of large-scale social housing programmes, a lack of reform of urban governance and mixed messages in relation to urban planning combined to produce the social patterns of the city that are recognizable today. The city began to deal with the motor car as a friend to be accommodated with some interesting and long-term results. These and other issues are explored in this latest volume in the 'Making of Dublin' series. The volume aims to convey a sense of what it was like to live in and to use the city during these two decades. Particular attention is devoted to looking at the impact of the Emergency and on how the city functioned, particularly as a shopping centre and tourism centre.

Download or read book Dublin since 1922 written by Tim Carey and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2016-11-03 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dublin Since 1922 tells the story of Ireland's capital city since independence. Richly illustrated throughout, it unfolds around hundreds of dates in the city's history, beginning with the founding of the Irish state - when Dublin had the worst slums in Europe - and ending in the last days of the Celtic Tiger. Through major events, Carey charts nearly a century of the capital's history, from the Civil War, the Eucharistic Congress and President Kennedy's visit, to the 1986 earthquake, the Stardust disaster and the changing faces of the St Patrick's Day parade. Brought to life are the figures who have shaped the city's identity - from Archbishop McQuaid to Tony Gregory, from Luke Kelly to Maeve Binchy - and the daily life of its people, through the books they read, the way they move around the city, the music they listen to, the crimes they commit and the unique experiences they have of simply being in the city of Dublin. A captivating celebration of people and place, this book makes essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how the character of a city - and its inhabitants - is shaped.

Book excerpt: Dublin's Mansion House is the only mayoral residence in Ireland and is older than any such surviving residence in Great Britain.

This book is the first major work on the Mansion House and includes essays on its history, architecture, and antique furnishings, along with an account of one year in the residence, which gives a vivid picture of how the building is used.
