Munster Basin

This the Irish Munster Basin should not be confused with the Münster Basin in northern GermanyThe Munster Basin is a late Middle to Upper Devonian age extensional (rift) sedimentary basin in the south-west of Ireland. The basin fill comprises fluvial Old Red Sandstone (ORS) magnafacies with minor silicic volcanic and mafic sub-volcanic centres. The depocentre of the basin is located between the MacGillycuddy's Reeks and the Kenmare River on the Iveragh peninsula where the succession is at least ca. 6 km thick. The non-marine ORS is conformably succeeded by latest Devonian coastal plain and shallow marine clastic deposits (the Toe Head Sandstone and Old Head Sandstone Formations, and equivalents), followed by shallow to deeper marine Carboniferous sandstones, mudstones and limestones of the South Munster Basin. During the Late Palaeozoic Variscan (or Hercynian) orogeny the deposits in the basin were subjected to compressional deformation that resulted in pressure solution cleavage formation, buckle folding and contractional faulting under very low-grade metamorphic conditions.The oldest deposits found in the Munster Basin belong to the Valentia Slate Formation from which a silicic air-fall tuff bed (the Keel-Enagh Tuff) was radiometrically dated as 384.9 ± 0.7 Ma, which can be linked to local miospore biostratigraphic records. In combination, this corresponds to a late Givetian chronostratigraphic age on recent Devonian time scales. The general Late Devonian age of the basin fill is also given by miospore and fish fossil records.

Skiddy's Almshouse
Skiddy's Almshouse

Skiddy's Almshouse is the oldest inhabited building in the city of Cork. It was built in 1718 and finished in 1719. It was the second almshouse built using a bequest from Stephen Skiddy for the city's poor, either Catholic or Church of Ireland. The first building, located near North Gate Bridge, was replaced by the end of 1718 following complaints of its being a poor source for fresh air and being too narrow. Skiddy was a wealthy Cork-born wine merchant, who in his will of 1584 bequeathed an annual payment for the benefit of his Almshouse. This annual payment began when Skiddy's wife died in 1606. The payment is made to this day by The Vintners Federation in London to Skiddy's charity. The Almshouse was also funded by Roger Bettridge when he included it in his will in 1717.The Almshouse was built on a corner of the medieval Saint Mary's Churchyard, the building was once part of a campus including the Green Coat Hospital and School. The other buildings were demolished in the 1950s. The Almshouse was saved from demolition by the Cork Preservation Society in the 1960s with an award-winning restoration completed in 1975 by the architect Frank Murphy. In 2000, the CPS Sold the Almshouse to the Social Housing Development Company. This restoration, which saw Murphy (as architect) win an RIAI Europa Nostra award, was followed by a second restoration which completed in 2005. Skiddy's Almshouse is now one of the very few surviving eighteenth-century institutional buildings in Cork.The Almshouse is an L-shaped building with a stone arcade enclosed by a ten-foot wall and a large iron gate. As of 2011, it housed 15 people.

St. Mary's Dominican Church and Priory

St. Mary's Dominican Church and Priory, Pope's Quay in Cork, Ireland, is run by the Dominican Order. It serves as a local church and a priory housing a community of Dominican friars, and a novitiate for the order.Building of the church on the Pope's Quay site commenced in 1832, and the church opened on October 20, 1839, with Daniel O'Connell in attendance. The architect was Kearns Deane, a Protestant and from the Deane family of architects, for no charge, and Fr B.T. Russell was responsible for delivering the church. In 1850 architect William Atkins built the priory in a neo-Romanesque style. George Goldie designed all the elements of the sanctuary (including the pulpit and the high altar). Extensive renovations to the church took place in 1991. The St Martin's Chapel, at St. Mary's was restored and renovated in 2017. From 2020 the Independent School Mater Dei Academy Cork, was hosted and supported by the Dominicans at St. Mary's, in 2022 the school moved to Farranferris Education and Training Campus. A chapter of the Lay Dominicans meets in the Pastoral Centre, also, counseling services are offered from the centre, as well as being used for meetings of other groups such as Alcoholics, Narcotics, and Gamblers Anonymous. In 2021 the priory applied to extend the use of the pastoral centre so as it could be used as a school. St Mary's, hosts talks and the order runs and members of the community lecture on a number of short courses in theology, philosophy, and Christology.
