Drumcondra Hospital
Drumcondra Hospital ( ga, Ospidéal Dhroim Conrach) was a voluntary hospital on Whitworth Road in Dublin, Ireland. It became an annex to the Rotunda Hospital in 1970. History A dispensary was provided at Cole's Lane, to serve the poor of parishes on the north side of Dublin at the time of the founding of the parish of St. George in 1793. This proved insufficient for the increasing number of cases. A few years later, shortly after the establishment of the Cork Street Fever Hospital on the south side of Dublin, an infirmary, St. George's Fever Hospital, was opened in Lower Dorset Street. A new site was acquired on Whitworth Road that had originally been acquired in the 18th century for the new church of St. George, which was eventually built on Temple Street. It was intended to have a hospital on the north side of the city to complement the Cork Street Hospital on the south side. A period of great distress and epidemic, due to poverty among other things in those days, showed the ad ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Dundrum, Dublin
Dundrum (, ''the ridge fort''), originally a town in its own right, is an outer suburb of Dublin, Ireland. The area is located in the Dublin postal districts, postal districts of Dublin 14 and Dublin 16. Dundrum is home to the Dundrum Town Centre, the largest shopping centre in Ireland. History One of the earliest mentions of the area concerns the location of the original St. Nahi's Church in the 8th century on which site today's 18th-century church currently stands. The ancient name for Dundrum is "Taney Parish, Taney" which derives from ''Tigh Naithi'' meaning the house or place of Nath Í of Cúl Fothirbe, Nath Í. Modern archaeological excavations near the church have revealed three enclosures associated with the church, the earliest dating from the 6th century, and one of the finds included an almost complete Flemish Redware jug from the 13th century. The first reference to the placename of Taney Parish, Taney occurs in the Charter of St. Laurence O'Toole to Christ Church ...

Taney Parish
The Parish of Taney is a populous parish in the Church of Ireland, located in the Dundrum area of Dublin. History Early history Taney's origins go back to the early Irish saint Nathi, who in the 6th century established a centre for monastic life. This centre may have been on what is now the site of St. Nahi's Church in Dundrum. The derivation of the parish name, ''Taney'', suggests that it derives from the Irish ''Teach Nahi'' or ''Nahi's house''. Another possible source is ''Tamhnach'', meaning a ''green field'' or ''arable spot''. While there are no details available, there seems little doubt that religious worship was taking place here for some considerable time before the Anglo-Norman Invasion of 1169–1171, which made use of a papal bull asserting Rome's rights to all islands off the coast of Europe. The Rural See (seat of a Rural Bishop) of Taney is mentioned in a report of Cardinal Paparo in 1152. The next record is as "the Deanery of Tanhy" in a taxation list sent ...

Ulysses (novel)
''Ulysses'' is a modernist novel by Irish writer James Joyce. Parts of it were first serialized in the American journal ''The Little Review'' from March 1918 to December 1920, and the entire work was published in Paris by Sylvia Beach on 2 February 1922, Joyce's 40th birthday. It is considered one of the most important works of modernist literature and has been called "a demonstration and summation of the entire movement." According to Declan Kiberd, "Before Joyce, no writer of fiction had so foregrounded the process of thinking". ''Ulysses'' chronicles the appointments and encounters of the itinerant Leopold Bloom in Dublin in the course of an ordinary day, 16 June 1904. Ulysses is the Latinised name of Odysseus, the hero of Homer's epic poem the ''Odyssey'', and the novel establishes a series of parallels between the poem and the novel, with structural correspondences between the characters and experiences of Bloom and Odysseus, Molly Bloom and Penelope, and Stephen Dedalus ...

Leopold Bloom
Leopold Bloom is the fictional protagonist and hero of James Joyce's 1922 novel ''Ulysses''. His peregrinations and encounters in Dublin on 16 June 1904 mirror, on a more mundane and intimate scale, those of Ulysses/Odysseus in Homer's epic poem: The ''Odyssey''. Factual antecedents When Joyce first started planning a story in 1906 called "Ulysses" to be included in Dubliners, the central character was based on a Dublin acquaintance named Alfred Hunter whom Joyce had met traveling to a funeral in July 1904. Another model was probably Italo Svevo. The character's name (and maybe some of his personality) may have been inspired by Joyce's Trieste acquaintance Leopoldo Popper. Popper was a Jew of Bohemian descent who had hired Joyce as an English tutor for his daughter Amalia. Popper managed the company of Popper and Blum and it is possible that the name Leopold Bloom was invented by taking Popper's first name and anglicizing the name Blum.
