| ARTICLES RELATED TO Irish Houses of Parliament | | | |  Irish Houses of Parliament: Encyclopedia II - Edward Lovett Pearce - Irish Houses of ParliamentIn 1727 Pearce was elected Member of Parliament for Ratoath in County Meath, no doubt assisted by his patron Speaker Connoly, for whom he was continuously working at Castletown. The Irish Government had decided in that same year to replace their existing meeting place at Chichester House, College Green, Dublin with a new purpose built parliament building. Interestingly, it was Speaker Conolly who first suggested building the new Parliament House on College Green, therefore it is unsurprising, perhaps, that it was Pearce the MP and e ...

| | | | Irish Houses of Parliament: Encyclopedia II - Irish Houses of Parliament - Design of the new building Pearce's design for the new Irish Houses of Parliament was revolutionary. The building was effectively semi-circular in shape, occupying nearly an acre and a half (6,000 m²) of ground. Unlike Chichester House, which was set far back from Hoggen Green, the new building was to open up directly onto the Green, as the above photograph shows. The principal entrance consisted of a colonnade of Ionic columns extending around three sides of the entrance quadrangle, forming a letter 'E' (see picture at the bottom of the page). Three stat ...

| | | | Irish Houses of Parliament: Encyclopedia II - Edward Lovett Pearce - Early Life Edward Lovett Pearce was born in County Meath, the son of General Edward Pearce, who was a cousin of Sir John Vanbrugh. In that same year Vanbrugh was beginning work on his first great architectural commission of Castle Howard which was the first truly baroque house in England, ironically Vanbrugh's new cousin was to be one of the leading architects whose designs were to overthrow the baroque fashion less than 28 years later.
In 1715 following the death of his father, Pearce became a pupil of his eminent architect cousin, it is theref ...

| | | | Irish Houses of Parliament: Encyclopedia II - Edward Lovett Pearce - Legacy Following the acclaim given to the new Parliament building, the structure was near enough completed in 1731 for Parliament to be held there, in 1732 Pearce was knighted, this honour was followed by the freedom of the city of Dublin in 1733. Sir Edward Lovett Pearce was then at the height of his success and popularity. In addition to the better known works described above Pearce worked on numerous other commissions, a vast mansion known at Summerhill in County Meath (demolished in the 1950s) was attributed to him, although his contemporary, the architect Richard ...

| | | | Irish Houses of Parliament: Encyclopedia II - Edward Lovett Pearce - Castletown Castletown is the largest and one of the most important country houses in Ireland, it also claims to be the house which introduced Palladianism to Ireland. The mansion was commissioned by William Conolly (1622-1729), a self-made man who had risen from humble origins through astute property dealings to become one of the wealthiest and influential men in Ireland. The original plans were drawn by Alessandro Galilei circa 1718, the new mansion was intended to reflect Connoly's political power as Lord Justice of Ireland. Galilei though returned t ...

| | | | Irish Houses of Parliament: Encyclopedia II - Georgian Dublin - 18th Century Property Developers While the rebuilding by the Wide Streets Commission fundamentally changed the streetscape in Dublin, a property boom led to additional building outside the central core. Unlike twentieth century building booms in Dublin (which by general agreement were disastrously mismanaged) the eighteenth century developments were carefully controlled. The developing areas were divided into precincts, each of which was given to a different developer. The scope of their developments were restricted, however, with strict controls imposed on style of residential building, design of buildings and location, s ...

Trinity College Dublin - Clubs.
Trinity College has 49 sports clubs that are affiliated to DUCAC (Dublin University Central Athletic Club). There is a very strong sporting tradition with Trinity, however in recent years sporting prowess has diminished somewhat with most students engaging in sport for recreational purposes rather than for competitive reasons. DUCAC is made up of five democratically elected committees who oversee the development of sport in the college: the Executive Committee who are responsible f ...

| | | | Irish Houses of Parliament: Encyclopedia II - Palladian architecture - Irish Palladianism During the Palladian revival period in Ireland, even quite modest mansions were cast in a neo-Palladian mould. Palladian architecture in Ireland subtly differs from that in England. While adhering as in other countries to the basic ideals of Palladio, it is often truer to them - perhaps because it was often designed by architects who had come directly from mainland Europe, and therefore were not influenced by the evolution that Palladianism was undergoing in Britain, or perhaps because Ireland was more provincial and its fashions changed at a slower pace than elsewhere. Whatever the reason, Palladi ...

| | | | Irish Houses of Parliament: Encyclopedia II - Dublin - Name The name Dublin is an Anglicism of Dubh Linn (Irish, meaning "Black Pool"), though some doubt this derivation. Historically, in the old script used for the Irish language, 'bh' was written with a dot placed over the 'b'—thus appearing to be Dub Linn or Dublinn. The Norman-speaking English who arrived in Old Irish-speaking Ireland starting in 1169 had no idea the dot over the 'b' signified it was really 'bh,' so they omitted it and spell ...
