Jonathan Swift was born in Dublin in November 1667. Entering Trinity College at the tender age of 14 Swift found himself ill-suited to the institution. The records show that he neglected his studies and on several occasions was censured for, amongst other transgressions, ‘tavern haunting’.  Swift is probably best known to modern audiences from his satirical works, most notably in what became known as Gulliver’s Travels. After the completion on his B.A. and M.A. in Trinity, Swift moved to London and worked as a political pamphleteer for both the Whigs and Tories, at various times. In 1713 Swift returned to Ireland on his appointment as Dean of St Patrick’s Cathedral. He soon became a champion of the Irish cause and is now considered an Irish patriot. Swift died in 1745 and was buried in his own cathedral.

Born in Dublin in 1871 he attended both the Royal Irish Academy and Trinity College Dublin receiving scholarships from the academy and graduating from Trinity with a focus on language studies. Meeting William Butler Yeats in Paris, Synge was inspired to learn more about the Irish language and along with Yeats, Lady Gregory was instrumental in the setting up of the Abbey Theatre. The Abbey produced many of his plays such as In the Shadow of the Glen and Playboy of the Western World.

Irish Blessing

Irish Blessing May the road rise to meet you.

May the wind be always at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face.

And rains fall soft upon your fields.

And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.

Dublin City / Baile Átha Cliath

Dublin is the capital city of Ireland with a population of nearly million people and covering an area of 115 Sq Kilometers. Situated on the estuary of the River Liffey and in the province of Leinster. Despite its fame around the world, Dublin is a remarkably small and intimate city. This is an important aspect of its charm, for within the compact central districts are museums, art galleries, medieval cathedrals and churches, Georgian terraces and great public buildings – all part of a history that goes back over a thousand years. Yet Dublin is equally renowned for its lively pubs, theatres, music venues and literary heritage. All of these contribute to the contemporary city’s uniquely vibrant atmosphere and great social and cultural scene.

Many theories have been put forward to explain why they are so brightly painted and ornamented, none unfortunately likely to be true. It has been suggested, for instance, that the practice originated at the time of Elizabeth 1, when a Puritan administrator decreed that all the city’s door and window frames should be the same drab brown colour. In an act of the defiance, the artistic and expressive population responded by painting them in the brightest hues they could find. A similar story dates from reign of Queen Victoria in the late 1800’s. Some claim that after the death of her beloved husband Prince Albert, the grieving monarch ordered all the doors in Dublin painted black in his memory. Once again the rebellious Dubliners refused and turned their front doors into a riot of colour.

Those who don’t know Irish pubs, and the interesting people who frequent them, will always possess only a superficial knowledge of Irish life and culture. The Irish pub is not only an excellent guide to many attractive centres of celebration; it is also a helpful and civilised introduction to higher education in a convivial atmosphere. This is a necessary text for all those in search of enlightenment and laughter.

1916 Proclamation of the Irish Republic

The Proclamation of the Irish Republic is amongst the single most influential documents in Irish History. Mainly composed by Pádraig Pearse and James Connolly, a thousand copies were run off on a Summit Wharfdale Stop Cylinder Press at Liberty Hall during the night before the Rising began. The sheets were printed in two halves because the printers did not have enough letters to typeset the whole text. The copies of the Proclamation were barely completed by morning and some bore only the first half of the text. The ink on many was still damp when they were posted on telegraph poles and walls around the city centre.

The Proclamation, which set out the aims and motives of the rebellion, was loosely modelled on Robert Emmet’s Proclamation of Independence for the 1803 Rising. One of its more radical pledges extended the vote to women (in 1916 the only countries with female suffrage were Australia, New Zealand, Finland and Norway).  The Proclamation also promised to “cherish all the children of the nation equally” – a reference to the large Protestant minority in Northern Ireland and the rest of the country.

One of the greatest treasures of Trinity College Dublin, in addition to the Book of Kells, is the Old Library Building and in particular the Long Room. This is situated on the first floor of the Old Library – the location chosen by the designers over three hundred years ago so as to preserve the printed materials from the elements – and is a joy to behold. The room is the longest single-room library in Europe at 65 meters in length and contains over 200,000 of some of the oldest books in the library’s possession.

Turning Darkness into Light

The Book of Kells is a lavishly decorated Gospel manuscript produced by Irish monks, probably on the Island of Iona, near Scotland, around the year 800. Preceding the Gospels, the book also contains lists of important details within the Gospels and summaries of the narratives. The importance of the book cannot be over emphasised and its beauty is such that it has been compared to ‘the work of angels’. The richly patterned pages, initial letters, often in the shape of animals of contorted human form and interlaced drawings are unique. The purpose of the illuminations has been speculated upon by many over the centuries. Apart from their intrinsic beauty and the joy they convey, it should be remembered that few were literate at the time of the book’s construction and in the words of Pope Gregory the Great, the illustrations contribute to ‘a living reading of the Lord’s story for those who cannot read’.

Colourful map of Ireland with photographic images from around the island by Liam Blake. 

The name Ireland offers an insight into the place itself and its people. It is a derivation of the ancient Irish word Eire, which probably means Western. To its own people, then, Ireland was the country in the West, the last island before the vast Atlantic Ocean. The Greeks and Romans transliterated the same word into Ierne, or Ivernia, eventually calling the island Hibernia – the land of winter. This perhaps reflects one European view of Ireland, a cold wet remote island lost off the western edge of the world. Yet Ireland’s isolation is illusory, for there has been a constant human interchange between her shores and those of her eastern neighbours for millennia. On this level the essence of the island has been woven into a unique cultural tapestry through the mingling of the diverse peoples who have contributed to its genius.
