NICKNAME(S): Ryan, Kils

AGE: Thirty

GENDER & PRONOUNS: Cis Male / He/Him

DATE OF BIRTH: August 1st 1992

Biography

Growing up Kilean's life was far from glamourous. He was raised by a single father, after his mum had passed away during childbirth. While he didn't think is father resented him, he knew he held him responsible. He was harder on Kilean than he was his older brother, and while it took some time, eventually he got used to it. It seemed like the price to pay for being the reason his father and brother lost someone they loved so much. From a young age, he took responsibility for what he did... even if it wasn't his fault.

When he was ten, his Dad had gotten a factory job in Park Royal. A neighbourhood near Nottinghill that was known to be the epicenter of industry and hard working jobs. When they left Ireland he thought this would be the start of a new beginning. But only three years after their big mom, the Guinness production plant shut down in Park Royal and moved to Dublin. While the irony of it all, had made the almost teen chuckle... their situation grew less funny with each passing day. Alcoholism consumed their small flat and it became clear that with the plant closed down, their father had no interest in trying again. He'd given up on that dream, and everything else that went along with it. Kilean and his older brother, knew it was their time to step up.

It wasn't long until a Kilean came across a local group of Irishmen in the area. In his mind, the Irish stood by one another and the naive boy thought they might have some work for him. Or even his father. He went into their businesses feeling like he was making big moves for his family. Ones that might finally make his father proud of him. Kilean had no idea that the pup he'd walked into was a front for a man name Bugsy O'Shea. Head of the Irish Mob in that part of London. Infamous to many, but not the thirty teen year old boy.

Bugsy promised to take Kilean under his wing, in exchange for a few odd jobs and cleaning up the bar on weekends. Like many con man and manipulators, he lulled the boy into a false sense of confidence by being the father figure he'd needed for so long. Throughout his teens, Bugsy didn't ask for much. The boy would work in the bar and run simple errand, until he turned eight teen and became an asset to the team.

It was around this time that he'd met a young girl named Poe. She was delicate like a flower, and he was so afraid to break her. She made him want to be a better man, and earn her love and affection. With her he felt like he could walk on water and when she kissed him, he swore he could see the stars. Their relationship was quick to build and before he knew it he was down on one knee, promising the world to his young love.

They would have a few good years together before Kilean's boss started making more and more requests. Ones that started to make him uneasy... and slowly exposed what kind of people he'd found himself working for. Debt collection, beatings, repossession for collateral and eventually torture. If he refused to do the job, Bugsy would tut tut tut, and shake his head slowly before asking him what his sweet Poe would think if she knew what he really did for work. Twisting the knife in his side until he couldn't deny Bugsy anymore. When that threat grew old, it turned to threats of Poe's safety. Scaring the living hell out of Kilean.

Not knowing how else to protect her, the Irishman did the only thing he knew would keep her safe. He left. He took a job protecting Bugsy's assets in Belfast and kept his distance from his ex wife in hopes the mob would leave her alone. The further he distanced himself, the better off she'd be. Or so he hoped.

Relationships

Poe Crane: DEATH OF ME - I would love you if I could but my unsteady heart's not ready and you would only get what’s left of me. I don't wanna walk away but it's not fair to let you stay // Poe is still the love of Kilean's life. He would do anything for her but he knows it's not safe to be in her life. He can't be the reason one more person he knows loses their life. No matter what it takes, he will keep her out of harms way. Even if it means she has to hate him to let him go.

Posted: 3/1/2024 | March 1st, 2024 Dublin is a literary, gloomy city. Because there are so many writers and poets living there, it is an excellent city for history buffs and book lovers. There are castles, classic pubs, and lots of live music venues to be found here. Dublin's relatively small size makes it simple to visit all the attractions, events, and walking tours. On foot, you can go almost anywhere. Consequently, unless it is far from the center, do not worry too much about a hotel's location when considering one. Additionally, the city's tram system facilitates easy transportation. Here is my selection of Dublin's top hotels: 1. Hotel Harcourt This three-star hotel is situated in the heart of the city and is housed in a collection of old Georgian townhouses from the eighteenth century, one of which was once owned by renowned author George Bernard Shaw. There is a restaurant and beer garden on site, as well as a bar with live music every weekend. The rooms are not large, but they have lots of natural light, wooden accents, and lovely color pops that make the room feel brighter. Each room has a desk, flatscreen TV, free Wi-Fi, and comfortable beds. The bathrooms are rather small, but they have excellent water pressure, which is a huge plus in my opinion. There is also breakfast included. 2. Clarence Hotel Located in the boisterous Temple Bar area, this hotel was bought by Bono and the Edge from U2 in 1992. It was completely renovated a few years later and is considered one of the coolest places to stay in the city (though it’s no longer owned by the duo). A boutique four-star property, the hotel has an arty, quirky design that features lots of colorful art and wallpaper. The rooms were designed by Irish artisans and feature stylish custom furnishings like white oak floors, colorful and plush headboards, and unique artwork on the walls. The bathrooms have powerful rainfall shower heads as well as limestone flooring and tiled walls. In-room amenities include the standard offerings (flatscreen TV, desk, minibar, coffee/tea maker, desks). Downstairs, there’s a luxurious cocktail bar and a fantastic restaurant serving elevated Irish fare, including daily breakfast and a bottomless brunch on Sundays. 3. Maldron Hotel, Kevin Street Situated on the edge of the Portobello neighborhood, the Maldron is a comfortable place to stay with a view of St. Patrick's Cathedral. It’s a sleek four-star hotel with a simple, minimalist design. The rooms are large with lots of natural light, and the beds are large and comfortable. You also get flat-screen TVs, coffee and tea makers, desks, and free Wi-Fi. The bathrooms are spacious, with showers that have good water pressure. I loved the breakfast buffet, which had tons of variety and lots of fresh fruit. It’s a great place to stay if you want to be centrally located. 4. The Dean This is a hip and funky boutique hotel. The rooms aren’t huge, but they’re bright and uniquely designed, with colorful furnishings and artwork on the walls. All rooms include a flatscreen smart TV (with streaming services), minibar, Nespresso machines, desk, and free Wi-Fi. The white-tiled bathrooms come with powerful rainfall showers, Bluetooth speakers, and Lux Bath products. I also love the chill rooftop bar and restaurant’s view of the city. There’s also a sauna and a heated outdoor pool. Overall, you really get a lot of value here, considering the amenities and central location. 5. The Alex Just south of the Docklands, this is a comfortable and stylish four-star hotel. The rooms here are sleek, with rich, deep colors and elegant design touches (like artwork and wooden desks). The beds are large and comfortable, and rooms also boast large smart TVs, desks, and fast Wi-Fi. While the standard rooms don’t have a coffee/tea maker, there is a café on-site where you can grab a drink. I especially liked the rainfall showers, as they had great pressure. The staff here really go out of their way to help and keep things clean (the property is always spotless).

The hotel also has a fitness center and a few excellent in-house eateries. The buffet breakfast (which can be included in your stay) has a ton of options too. 6. The Spencer Hotel This four-star hotel overlooks the river and boasts an array of upscale amenities, including an indoor pool, a fitness center, a cocktail bar, and a cozy restaurant. The breakfast is great too, with lots of variety (including vegetarian and vegan options). If you happen to be traveling by car, they have a secure parking lot on-site (which isn’t common in Dublin). Rooms here are spacious and minimally designed in a soft, pastel color palette. They have lots of natural light too, thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows. The bathrooms are also large, with a shower/tub combo and complimentary Rituals bath products. Rooms also have a mini-fridge and a coffee/tea maker. It’s a classy property that offers excellent value for your money. 7. The Hendrick Smithfield This fun and quirky three-star hotel is covered in artwork by local artists. The rooms aren’t huge, but they make good use of the space and have all the standard amenities, including flatscreen TVs, coffee and tea makers, desks, and Wi-Fi. Some rooms even have bunk beds, which makes it a nice choice for traveling families. The bathrooms are well lit, and the showers have good pressure. There’s a bar on-site if you get thirsty, with over a dozen beers on tap. The Hendrick is a solid midrange option in Smithfield, a less-touristed and hip area of the city with great pubs and cool coffee shops. I always love visiting Dublin. Brimming with cozy pubs, world-class whiskey, and home to an impressive literary history, Dublin is a city with character and one of my favorite places to visit in Europe. Stay at one of the hotels above to supercharge your visit. Posted: 3/1/2024 | March 1st, 2024 Dublin is a literary, gloomy city.

Urban Explorations: Adventure in the Heart of Dublin

Dublin, the vibrant capital of Ireland, is a city steeped in history and culture. Beyond its famous landmarks and bustling streets, there lies a world of urban exploration waiting to be discovered. This article embarks on a journey through the heart of adventure in Dublin, uncovering hidden gems, historic sites, and the unique blend of old and new that characterizes this captivating city.

The Hidden Alleyways: Unveiling Dublin's Secrets

Dublin's charm extends beyond its well-trodden streets. A sense of adventure awaits those willing to wander off the beaten path and explore the city's hidden alleyways. Temple Bar might be a known hotspot, but adjacent lanes like Crown Alley and Eustace Street reveal quirky shops, street art, and small cafes that provide an intimate look into the local culture. These narrow passageways offer a genuine Dublin experience, away from the crowds and touristy hustle.

Graffiti Wonderland: Street Art that Tells Stories

Dublin's walls are a canvas for artistic expression, with vibrant street art transforming ordinary buildings into visual storytelling. Areas like Smithfield and Portobello showcase a diverse range of graffiti, from political statements to whimsical creations. Artists like Maser and Subset have left their mark, turning Dublin into an open-air gallery. Each mural reflects the city's dynamic spirit, with the art not just adorning walls but becoming an integral part of Dublin's evolving narrative.

Historical Haunts: Exploring Dublin's Abandoned Spaces

For those with a taste for the eerie and historical, Dublin offers a plethora of abandoned spaces that whisper tales of the past. The Pigeon House Power Station, with its industrial remnants along Dublin Bay, and the hauntingly beautiful Ballymun Boiler House stand as silent witnesses to bygone eras. These forgotten places provide a fascinating glimpse into Dublin's industrial history, offering intrepid explorers a chance to connect with the city's evolution.

Canal-side Serenity: A Tranquil Escape in the City

Amidst the urban hustle, Dublin's canals offer a serene escape. The Grand Canal, lined with stately Georgian buildings and weeping willows, provides a picturesque setting for a leisurely stroll or a peaceful picnic. As swans glide along the water and narrowboats bob gently, the city's pace slows down, inviting reflection and relaxation. This hidden gem showcases Dublin's ability to seamlessly blend nature into its urban landscape.

Rooftop Revelations: Dublin's Skyline from New Heights

For a truly unique perspective, urban explorers can ascend to the rooftops of Dublin's iconic buildings. The Guinness Storehouse, with its Gravity Bar boasting panoramic views, and the Marker Hotel, offering a stunning vantage point of the Docklands, allow visitors to witness the city from new heights. The juxtaposition of historic landmarks against a modern skyline paints a comprehensive picture of Dublin's architectural evolution.

Lively Liberties: Dublin's Oldest District Comes Alive

Dublin's Liberties, the city's oldest district, is a treasure trove of history and culture. Cobblestone streets lead to landmarks like St. Patrick's Cathedral and the Christ Church Cathedral, showcasing Dublin's medieval roots. The area has undergone a revival, with artisanal shops, distilleries, and lively pubs breathing new life into the Liberties. Urban explorers can witness the convergence of tradition and modernity in this bustling district.

Conclusion: Dublin's Urban Tapestry

Dublin's allure lies not just in its renowned attractions but in the layers waiting to be peeled back by urban explorers. From hidden alleys and street art to abandoned spaces and tranquil canals, the city reveals its true character to those willing to venture beyond the familiar. Dublin's urban tapestry is a rich blend of history, creativity, and contemporary vitality. As the city continues to evolve, urban explorations serve as a reminder that Dublin's essence extends far beyond its iconic landmarks – it thrives in the nuances of its streets, the art on its walls, and the stories whispered by its abandoned spaces. So, grab a map, put on comfortable shoes, and let Dublin unfold its secrets to those ready to explore its heart.

Although this weekend is a bit different than my usual weekends spent out exploring, river Dodder and Bushy Park are two of our favourite areas to go since moving to Portobello. This weekend I’m resting my foot trying to let it recover and hoping it’s healed up soon so we can enjoy a few more fall walks! Here’s to a quiet bank holiday weekend of rest and repair. Hope you all have a warm happy weekend! 🧡 • • • • #torysstories #t1dlookslikeme #weekendadventures #dublin #exploredublin #bankholidayweekend #dodderriver #bushypark #exploreireland (at Bushy Park, Dublin) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGvUCX1nyWL/?igshid=4swneafp8yml

Those Executed For Involvement In the Irish Easter Rising in 1916

Francis Sheehy-Skeffington (died age 37)

Sheehy-Skeffington tried to organise a citizen police force to stop looting on the Tuesday of the Rising. Heading home, he was arrested in for no reason by British troops. Capt JC Bowen-Colthurst used him as a hostage while attacking the shop of Alderman James Kelly, at the top of Camden Street. Bowen-Colthurst destroyed the shop with grenades, and shot dead a 17-year-old boy before marching Sheehy-Skeffington and two journalists to Portobello Barracks. The next morning, they unaware they were going to be shot to death until moments before it occurred. They were executed the next morning on April 26th, 1916. Those involved attempted to cover up what they did.

Thomas “Tom” Clarke (died age 58)

Clarke was stationed at headquarters in the General Post Office during the Easter Week. Clarke wrote on the wall of the house after surrender on April 29th, "We had to evacuate the GPO. The boys put up a grand fight, and that fight will save the soul of Ireland." He was arrested after the surrender. He and other rebels were taken to the Rotunda where he was stripped of his clothing in front of the other prisoners. He was later held in Kilmainham Gaol. He was court-martialled and sentenced to death. Before his execution, he asked his wife Kathleen to give this message to the Irish People:

"My comrades and I believe we have struck the first successful blow for freedom, and so sure as we are going out this morning so sure will freedom come as a direct result of our action . . . In this belief, we die happy."

He was then executed by firing squad on May 3rd, 1916.

Patrick Pearse (died age 36)

Easter Monday, April 24th 1916, it was Pearse who read the Proclamation of the Irish Republic from outside the General Post Office, the headquarters of the Rising.

He was court-martialled and executed by firing squad on may 3rd, 1916. He was said to be whistling as he came out of his cell to be killed. The day before his death he wrote:

"When I was a child of ten I went down on my bare knees by my bedside one night and promised God that I should devote my life to an effort to free my country. I have kept that promise. As a boy and as a man I have worked for Irish freedom. The time, as it seemed to me, did come, and we went into the fight. I am glad we did. We seem to have lost. We have not lost. To refuse to fight would have been to lose, to fight is to win. We have kept faith with the past and handed on a tradition to the future."

Thomas MacDonagh (died age 37)

MacDonagh's battalion was stationed at Jacob's Biscuit Factory. Despite MacDonagh's rank and the fact that he commanded one of the strongest battalions, they saw little fighting. MacDonagh received the order to surrender on April 30th, though his battalion was prepared to continue. Following the surrender, MacDonagh was court martialled, and executed by firing squad on May 3rd, 1916. In his last message to the Irish people he wrote:

"I, Thomas MacDonagh, having now heard the sentence of the Court Martial held on me today, declare that in all my acts, all the acts for which I have been arraigned. I have been actuated by one motive only, the love of my country, and the desire to make her a sovereign, independent state."

Joseph Mary Plunkett (died age 28)

Following the surrender Plunkett was held in Kilmainham Gaol, and faced court martial. Seven hours before his execution, he was married in the prison chapel to his sweetheart Grace Gifford, a Protestant convert to Catholicism, whose sister, Muriel, had years before also converted and married his best friend Thomas MacDonagh, who was also executed for his role in the Easter Rising. Grace never married again after his death on May 4th, 1816. Days before his sentence Plunkett had written in a letter to Grace:

"Listen--if I live it might be possible to get the Church to marry us by proxy- there is such a thing but it is very difficult I am told. Father Sherwin might be able to do it. You know how I love you. That is all I have time to say. I know you love me and I am very happy."

Edward “Ned” Daly (died age 25)

Daly's battalion, stationed in the Four Courts and areas to the west and north of the centre of Dublin, saw the most harsh fighting of the rising. He was forced to surrender his battalion on April 29th by Patrick Pearse. He was executed by firing squad on May 4th 1916. Men in his battalion spoke of him as a good leader.

Michael O’Hanrahan (died age 38)

O’Hanrahan was second in command of Dublin's 2nd battalion under Commandant Thomas MacDonagh. He fought at Jacob's Biscuit Factory, though the battalion saw little action other than intense sniping throughout Easter week. O'Hanrahan was executed by firing squad on May 4th 1916 at Kilmainham Jail. His brother, Henry O'Hanrahan, was sentenced to penal servitude for life for his role in the Easter Rising.

William “Willie” Pearse (died age 34)

Willie followed his brother into the Irish Volunteers and the Republican movement. He took part in the Easter Rising in 1916, always staying by his brother's side at the General Post Office. Following the surrender he was court-martialled and sentenced to be executed. It has been said that as he was only a minor player in the struggle it was his surname that condemned him. However, at his court martial he rather exaggerating his involvement. On May 3rd, William was granted permission to visit his brother in Kilmainham Gaol and to see him for the final time. While Willie was en route, Patrick was executed first and they never saw one another again. Willie was executed on May 4th, 1916.

John MacBride (died age 47)

In 1905 MacBride joined other Irish nationalists in preparing for an insurrection. Because he was so well known to the British, the leaders thought it wise to keep him outside their secret military group planning a Rising. He was in Dublin early on Easter Monday morning to meet his brother Dr. Anthony MacBride, who was arriving from Westport to be married on the Wednesday. The Major walked up Grafton St and saw Thomas MacDonagh in uniform and leading his troops. He offered his services and was appointed second-in-command at the Jacob's factory. After the Rising, MacBride, following a court martial under the Defence of the Realm Act, was shot by British troops in Kilmainham Gaol, Dublin.

He was executed on May 5th 1916, two days before his forty-eighth birthday. Facing the British firing squad, he said he did not wish to be blindfolded, saying:

"I have looked down the muzzles of too many guns in the South African war to fear death and now please carry out your sentence."

He is buried in the cemetery at Arbour Hill Prison in Dublin.

Executed two days before his 54th birthday on May 5th.

Éamonn Ceannt (died age 34)

After the unconditional surrender of the 1916 fighters, Eamonn Ceannt was detained. While Ceannt was being picked for trial, volunteer James Couhlan remembers him being determined in looking after the welfare of “the humblest of those who had served under him”. Ceannt was tried under court martial as demanded by General Maxwell. May 2nd, Ceannt was sent to Kilmainham Gaol to face trial and execution.

Written a few hours before his execution from cell 88 in Kilmainham Gaol, he wrote:

“I leave for the guidance of other Irish Revolutionaries who may tread the path which I have trod this advice, never to treat with the enemy, never to surrender at his mercy, but to fight to a finish...Ireland has shown she is a nation. This generation can claim to have raised sons as brave as any that went before. And in the years to come Ireland will honour those who risked all for her honour at Easter 1916.”

Ceannt was held in Kilmainham Gaol until his execution by firing squad on May 8th 1916. He is buried at Arbour Hill.

Michael Mallin (died age 41)

When Connolly was inducted into the Irish Republican Brotherhood in January 1916. On Easter Monday Mallin departed from Liberty Hall at 11:30am to take up his post at St Stephen's Green with his small force of ICA men and women. Upon arriving at the park they evacuated it, dug trenches, erected kitchen and first aid stations, and constructed barricades in the surrounding streets. Mallin planned to occupy the Shelbourne Hotel, located on the north-east side of the park, but insufficient troops prevented him from doing so. The next morning under intense machine gun fire Mallin ordered his troops to retreat to the Royal College of Surgeons on the west side of the park. The garrison remained in the barricaded building for the remainder of the week.

Mallin surrendered on April 30th 1916. The garrison was taken first to Dublin Castle then to Richmond Barracks, where Mallin was separated for court-martial. At his court-martial he downplayed his involvement. In his statement, Mallin stated:

“I had no commission whatever in the Citizen Army. I was never taken into the confidence of James Connolly. I was under the impression that we were going out for manoeuvres on Sunday . . . Shortly after my arrival at St Stephen's Green the firing started and Countess Markievicz ordered me to take command of the men as I had been so long associated with them. I felt I could not leave them and from that time I joined the rebellion."

Mallin was found guilty and transported to Kilmainham Gaol for his execution. He was executed May 8th 1916. The night before his execution he was visited in his cell by his mother, three of his siblings, his pregnant wife and their four children. In his last letter to his wife, who was pregnant with their fifth child, Mallin said:

"I find no fault with the soldiers or the police [I ask you] to pray for all the souls who fell in this fight, Irish and English . . . so must Irishmen pay for trying to make Ireland a free nation."

He wrote to his children:

“Una my little one be a Nun Joseph my little man be a Priest if you can James & John to you the care of your mother make yourselves good strong men for her sake and remember Ireland”

His funeral mass took place at the Dominican Church in Tallaght on May 13th, 1917. People from the procession clashed with police outside the church with two policemen injured.

Con Colbert (died age 37)

In the weeks leading up to the Rising, he acted as bodyguard for Thomas Clarke. During Easter Week, he fought at Watkin's Brewery, Jameson's Distillery and Marrowbone Lane. They were marched to Richmond Barracks after surrender, where Colbert would later be court-martialled. Transferred to Kilmainham Gaol, he was told on Sunday May 7th he was to be shot the following morning. He wrote no fewer than ten letters during his time in prison. During this time in detention, he did not allow any visits from his family; writing to his sister, he said a visit "would grieve us both too much".

The night before his execution he sent for Mrs. Ó Murchadha who was also being held prisoner. He told her he was "proud to die for such a cause. I will be passing away at the dawning of the day." Holding his bible, he told her he was leaving it to his sister. He handed her three buttons from his volunteer uniform, telling her "They left me nothing else," before asking her when she heard the volleys of shots in the morning for Éamonn Ceannt, Michael Mallin and himself would she say a Hail Mary for the souls of the departed. The soldier who was guarding the prisoner began crying according to Mrs. Ó Murchadha, and recorded him saying "If only we could die such deaths."

Colbert was shot by firing squad the next morning on May 8th 1916.

Sean Heuston (died age 25)

Heuston was the Officer Commanding of the Volunteers in the Mendicity Institution on the south side of Dublin city. Heuston was to hold this position for three or four hours, to delay the advance of British troops. This delay was necessary to give the headquarters staff time to prepare their defences. Heuston was arrested after the surrender and transferred to Richmond Barracks. O May 4th 1916, he was tried by court martial. May 7th 1916, the verdict of the court martial was communicated to him that he had been sentenced to death and was to be shot at dawn the following morning.

Prior to his execution he was attended by Father Albert in his final hours. Father Albert wrote an account of those hours up to and including the execution:

“…We were now told to be ready. I had a small cross in my hand, and though blindfolded, Seán bent his head and kissed the Crucifix; this was the last thing his lips touched in life. He then whispered to me: ‘Father, sure you won’t forget to anoint me?’ I had told him in his cell that I would anoint him when he was shot. We now proceeded towards the yard where the execution was to take place; my left arm was linked in his right, while the British soldier who had handcuffed and blindfolded him walked on his left. As we walked slowly along we repeated most of the prayers that we had been saying in the cell. On our way we passed a group of soldiers; these I afterwards learned were awaiting Commandant Mallin; who was following us. Having reached a second yard I saw there another group of military armed with rifles. Some of these were standing, and some sitting or kneeling. A soldier directed Seán and myself to a corner of the yard, a short distance from the outer wall of the prison. Here there was a box (seemingly a soap box) and Sean was told to sit down upon it. He was perfectly calm, and said with me for the last time: ‘My Jesus, mercy.’ I scarcely had moved away a few yards when a volley went off, and this noble soldier of Irish Freedom fell dead. I rushed over to anoint him; his whole face seemed transformed and lit up with a grandeur and brightness that I had never before noticed.”

Father Albert concluded:

“Never did I realise that men could fight so bravely, and die so beautifully, and so fearlessly as did the Heroes of Easter Week. On the morning of Sean Heuston's death I would have given the world to have been in his place, he died in such a noble and sacred cause, and went forth to meet his Divine Saviour with such grand Christian sentiments of trust, confidence and love.”

Thomas Kent (died age 50)

During the Easter Rising, the Kent residence was raided in a gunfight lasted for four hours. Eventually the Kents were forced to surrender. Thomas and William was tried by court martial on the charge of armed rebellion. His brother was acquitted, but Thomas was sentenced to death and executed by firing squad in Cork on May 9th 1916. He was buried in the grounds of Cork Prison.

Sean Mac Diarmada (died age 33)

September 1915, he joined the secret Military Committee of the IRB. In 1914 he said:

"the Irish patriotic spirit will die forever unless a blood sacrifice is made in the next few years.”

Due to his disability, Mac Diarmada took little part in the fighting of Easter week, but was stationed at the headquarters in the General Post Office. Following the surrender, he nearly escaped execution by blending in with the large body of prisoners. He was eventually recognised by Daniel Hoey of G Division. Following a court-martial on May 9th, Mac Diarmada was executed by firing squad on May 12th. In his final letter he wrote:

"Miss Ryan, she who in all probability, had I lived, would have been my wife".

She and her sister, Phyllis also visited Kilmainham Gaol before his execution. Before his execution, Mac Diarmada wrote:

"I feel happiness the like of which I have never experienced. I die that the Irish nation might live!”

James Connolly (died age 47)

Connolly considered the rest of the leaders too bourgeois and unconcerned with Ireland's economic independence. During the Easter Rising, Connolly was Commandant of the Dublin Brigade and was de facto commander-in-chief. Following the surrender, he said to other prisoners:

"Don't worry. Those of us that signed the proclamation will be shot. But the rest of you will be set free."

Connolly was not held in gaol, but in a room at the State Apartments in Dublin Castle, which had been converted to a first-aid station for troops recovering from the war. Connolly was sentenced to death by firing squad for his part in the rising. On May 12th 1916 he was taken by military ambulance to Royal Hospital Kilmainham, across the road from Kilmainham Gaol, and from there taken to the gaol, where he was to be executed. Visited by his wife, and asking about public opinion, he commented:

"They will all forget that I am; an Irishman."

Connolly had been so badly injured from the fighting but the execution order was still given and he was unable to stand before the firing squad; he was carried to a prison courtyard on a stretcher. His absolution and last rites were administered by a Capuchin, Father Aloysius Travers. Asked to pray for the soldiers about to shoot him, he said:

"I will say a prayer for all men who do their duty according to their lights."

Instead of being marched to the same spot where the others had been executed, at the far end of the execution yard, he was tied to a chair and then shot. His body (with other leaders) was put in a mass grave without a coffin. The executions of the rebel leaders deeply angered the majority of the Irish population, most of whom had shown no support during the rebellion.

Sir Roger Casement (died age 51)

October 1914, Casement sailed for Germany via Norway. Casement spent most of his time in Germany seeking to recruit an Irish Brigade from among more than 2,000 Irish prisoners-of-war taken in the early months of the war and held in the prison camp of Limburg an der Lahn. His plan was that they would be trained to fight against Britain in the cause of Irish independence. Casement did not learn about the Easter Rising until after the plan was fully developed. The German weapons never landed in Ireland; the Royal Navy intercepted the ship transporting them.

Casement departed Germany in a submarine. In the early hours of April 21st 1916, three days before the rising began, the German submarine put Casement ashore. Suffering from a recurrence of the malaria, and too weak to travel, he was discovered at McKenna's Fort and arrested on charges of treason, sabotage and espionage against the Crown.

"He was taken to Brixton Prison to be placed under special observation for fear of an attempt of suicide. There was no staff at the Tower [of London] to guard suicidal cases."

At Casement's highly publicised trial for treason, the prosecution had trouble arguing its case. Casement's crimes had been carried out in Germany. During the trial, Casement’s personal diary detailed his homosexual encounters was uncovered. The British government circulated fake reports to portray Casement as a sexual deviant. Casement tried to appeal the violation of his human rights and against his conviction and death sentence. On the day of his execution, Casement was received into the Catholic Church at his request. He was attended by two Catholic priests. One said of Casement that he was:

"a saint… we should be praying to him [Casement] instead of for him".

Casement was hanged at Pentonville Prison in London on August 3rd 1916. His last word was “Ireland”.

Scullion Architects folds Portobello house extension around courtyard

Scullion Architects has renovated and extended a terraced Victorian house around a plant-filled courtyard for a young family living in Portobello, Dublin.

The two-storey dwelling, aptly named Portobello, was updated to introduce light-filled spaces and a connection to nature to help the owners disconnect from the bustle of the Irish capital.

To achieve this, Scullion Architects lowered and extended the ground floor, and created an enclosed garden that is visually connected to every room through large windows.

A view into Portobello from the courtyard. Top image: the house's dining area

"[The clients] were keen for us to find ways to emphasise a relationship with nature despite a very small garden footprint and the dense urban location," the studio told Dezeen.

"The house and extension gather themselves around the sunken courtyard generating their own world apart and a sense of removal from the busy city beyond."

The entrance hall with a window into the kitchen

Like many Victorian houses in the area, Portobello's original layout had an entrance and living room on a half-landing level at the front of the house, with a split-level stair to bedrooms above and a kitchen and garden below.

To maximise space and improve this layout, Scullion Architects excavated the former living room by 1.2 metres to align it with the garden and ground floor.

Portobello's double-height kitchen from the master bedroom

The old living room has now been transformed into Portobello's double-height kitchen, which forms the heart of the dwelling and is seamlessly connected to the rest of the ground floor.

It is filled with white cabinetry and lit by its original south-facing bay window, which now resembles a large clerestory opening and features a stepped plinth at its base to allow the family to look outside.

The extended living and dining area with the courtyard beyond

"The client stated at the outset they wanted an open kitchen and dining area that would be the heart of the home, and that it must capture the south light to the front while somehow retaining an uninterrupted connection to the rear courtyard," explained the studio.

"They asked us for rooms filled with light with floor to ceiling windows whilst retaining a sense of warmth, comfort and retreat from the city."

A view of the extended ground level and timber-clad first floor

Portobello's entrance area's split-level stair has been retained and the original door to the living room has been turned into a large window to offer a view into the kitchen.

The hallway also provides a glimpse of the new densely planted garden on the ground floor via the floor-to-ceiling glazing in the bathroom, located at the bottom of the staircase.

The entrance to the main bathroom on the ground floor

The dwelling's other ground-floor spaces, which fold around the courtyard, were all introduced as part of the home's extension.

This includes a living and dining room that extends out from the kitchen, alongside a garden bedroom and sky-lit shower room.

Portobello's first floor was also extended as part of the project to create space for a larger master bedroom and ensuite, which sits adjacent to a third bedroom for one of the client's children.

The master bedroom looks out over the courtyard and also features an internal hatch-door that looks into the kitchen below.

The main bathroom's framed view of the courtyard

Externally, the ground and first-floor extensions are unified by their large glazed areas and wooden cladding, which has been stained dark green.

The wooden panels are arranged in alternating positions, appearing as though they have different widths and thicknesses to give the facade "rhythm and animation".

The ground floor shower room positioned at the rear of the courtyard

Interior finishes throughout Portobello are earthy and tactile in an effort to enhance the home's relationship with nature further.

This is most evident in the main bathroom on the ground floor, which was designed to offer a "sense of retreat and withdrawal". It is has a pebble-lined floor and dark timber detailing, and is complete with a view to the courtyard through a plant-filled pergola.

Elsewhere, a partially-exposed timber structure crowns the ground floor extension, teamed with rough plaster and timber-lined walls, while marble countertops fill the kitchen, and timber and concrete flooring run throughout.

The skylit shower in the ground floor extension

Scullion Architects is an Irish architecture studio based in Dublin, which was founded by Declan Scullion in 2016.

Other recently completed projects by the studio include a house extension that takes the form of a glazed sunroom with copper parapet and the Blackrock House on the outskirts of a seaside village near Dundalk.

The Canal Is The Camera

I was recently commissioned to make a short documentary about the Grand Canal in Dublin. Shooting during pandemic conditions is difficult, so this was a micro-crew operating with an ultra-light footprint - just myself and cinematographer Paddy Jordan.

The Grand Canal is a great subject. It is aesthetically fascinating, and socially interesting as well. It links working class Dublin areas like Crumlin and Drimnagh to corporations of the Silicon Docks via some highly prosperous neighbourhoods, like Ballsbridge and Ranelagh.

It’s also an ethnically diverse place - Portobello was once the centre of Ireland’s Jewish community, and it is now home to a mosque and number of Muslim homes and businesses. Like the canals of Berlin, Paris and London, the Grand Canal is a social venue for young people from all around the world, gathering on a Friday evening to have a drink and a conversation.

I wrote this piece for RTE Culture about making the film.

“The shortest distance between any two points is a straight line.

Canal builders know this.

The men (and they were all men, then) who built Dublin’s Grand Canal took 47 years to connect Dublin to the Shannon, a rate of progress of about three inches a day. By contrast, a sloth barrels along at breakneck 500 inches a day.

At this pace, you must cleave to the most direct route, so the canal drives through the flatlands of Offaly, Kildare and West Dublin without ever deviating from the shortest possible course.

When the Grand Canal first arrived in Dublin, it took that line straight to the most significant and vital location in the 18th century metropolis - the Guinness Brewery.

But the thirst of the canal builders stayed unquenched.

For their dream to really matter, the Grand Canal had to connect the two most significant rivers in the country - the Shannon and the Liffey.

For the final leg of their journey, from the brewery to the seaport, they abandoned their fixation with straightness. Instead William Chapman designed a sweeping curve running from Drimnagh to Ringsend that would end up defining the city.

This was the Circular Line, conceived as vital transport infrastructure, but also as a pleasure ground for the people of Dublin.

At its opening in 1796, a thousand guests gathered in tents for an enormous party, the good times being in full swing in Dublin back then.

A gossip columnist for Walker’s Hibernian Magazine enjoyed the event immensely: “The gaiety of the scene, enlivened by the boats and barges highly decorated and filled with beautiful women, the fury of the cannon, the music and the reiterated shouts of the approving populace, all these impressed the mind with a glow of pleasure and ammunition scarcely to be described.”

The Circular Line is still somewhere to enjoy oneself. At Portobello Harbour and Ranelagh Bridge crowds gather to read, to drink, to watch the sun set or just to gaze into the endless changing mirror of the canal’s surface. The faces now are global - south Asian Googlers, Latino Deliveroo riders, language students, au pairs.

Other stretches are quieter - by Suir Road and Sally’s Bridge, herons stare impassive and ghost-like at the pike and roach swimming languidly beneath the surface. At Grand Canal Dock, icy towers of data analysts and project managers loom above the water as it widens out.

Some of the canal’s beauty has become clichéd, the roaring locks and colourful barges watched over by Patrick Kavanagh’s outstretched legs.

We were determined to avoid the obvious in making a documentary about the Circular Line, using the canal as a kind of lens, literally reflecting the different strands of city life.

‘The Canal is our camera’ was our guiding statement as we tried to capture the sensory pleasures of being beside the Grand Canal, on a warm Friday evening in September. ”

London… Once again

It was great to visit London again a couple of weeks ago. My first trip to London was 5 years ago, and I fell in love with the city. If it wasn’t for the visa application hassle, I would have tried to jump there for a few days every time I am not-so-far in Dublin. Back when I visited in 2014, I was the common tourist trying to go to the most famous attractions: Buckingham Palace, London Tower Bridge, London Eye, Oxford street shopping, Hyde Park, etc… These are must-visits for a first-timer in London and I have posted all the details in my London Experience articles Part I and Part II.

But this time, I wanted to take a different path and explore new sides of London. So I invite you to follow me and see the beautiful city differently…

1- Stroll and shop in the Portobello Market

I stayed in Bayswater, conveniently located at a walking distance from Kensington Gardens and Notting Hill.

So I spent several hours of my first day exploring the area till I reached Portobello market. There you can find everything you can imagine: clothes, accessories, souvenirs, food and drink, antiques, all at very affordable prices. I am sure you will leave this market with something in your hand.

2- Spend an afternoon at Covent Garden and an evening at Piccadilly circus

Summer is particularly delightful at Covent garden. Grab an ice cream from the numerous shops (e.g.Venchi) there and have a seat on one of the flower benches to watch the buskers singing or magicians performing their tricks.

Or have a cup of tea at the Whittard of Chelsea tea and listen to the magic voice of their singer.

youtube

In the evening, hop to the Piccadilly circus area and enjoy the ambiance full of locals, tourists and shows.

3- Watch a musical, or two

A visit to London is not complete without a West End show. The options are numerous and there is something that fits your taste for sure! I have watched The Phantom of the Opera and Lion King in my first London trip. This time, I enjoyed the colorful Aladdin show, and tried a different type of shows with The Mousetrap, the world’s longest running play, depicting one of Agatha Christie most famous books.

4- Shop at Oxford or Carnaby streets

You can’t skip shopping, especially if the big stores are on sale! Check for deals at Selfridges or House of Fraser. Stop for a break at Carnaby street, have lunch at Dishoom indian restaurant or Byron burger.

5- Take a boat trip on the Liffey

If it is sunny in London, take the opportunity to jump on one of the Thames Clipper boats. You can buy a ticket for the ride, or just use your Oyster credit. While in the boat, you will pass next to different attractions (Greenwich, Tower Bridge, London Eye, Westminster, etc) and you can stop at any of them. I went down at the Westminster stop and walked to the Victoria street area at lunchtime on a weekday. It was fun seeing everyone in their suits in that business area while I was enjoying my vacation.

6- Visit Greenwich observatory… where time begins

An interesting experience awaits you in Greenwich. Start with visiting the local market, then walk to the Greenwich observatory.

Learn how the clocks were made and perfected over the time and how the Greenwich observatory become the reference for the Meridian line. Visit the National Maritime museum and the planetarium and spend some time in the park. You can reach Greenwich and leave by the tube or by boat.

7- Go back in time when visiting Oxford

Have you ever imagined yourself immersed in a Harry Potter movie? Take the train or bus to Oxford and step back in time to one of the oldest universities in UK. Visit the colleges but make sure they are open for public on that day.

The Christchurch college and the Bodleian library are main locations where Harry Potter scenes were filmed.

The Magdalen college is also worth a visit for its old buildings and its famous deer park.

If you are lucky, you might cross Oxford students on their exam days wearing their gowns…they would look exactly like out of a Harry Potter movie!

8- Shop for some tea

Back from London, you should have your pack of London tea, it’s just part of the experience :) You can stop at Harrods in Knightsbridge to buy some team or cookies from the different available tea makers. Alternatively, stop at the TWG tea shop in Piccadilly circus, or at Whittard in Covent garden or Oxford. Once back home, you will enjoy your tea while remembering your trip to London.

9- Have Burgers and Lobsters for lunch

Hesitating between a juicy burger and a grilled lobster? Have both! I had the burger and half lobster dish.. A delicacy, not to miss!

10- Have one Ben’s delicious cookies

These are no ordinary cookies. They have a wide variety going from cookies with white or dark chocolate chips, filled with orange, nuts, and many other options.. These cookies are your best snack companion when visiting London. They have the perfect texture between softness and crunchiness. Don’t be fooled by how small the shop is. They are guaranteed to be the best cookies you will even have.

I almost feel like going back now. It’s maybe the time to prepare for my next vacation.
