Never noticed the Gort Arbhair name on Nth Frederick St. sign before. Upstairs on the bus gives a great view! @logainm.bsky.social

Stamp doodle logo for the @cnagaeilge.bsky.social AthGhaelú campaign "to encourage people to use Irish placenames instead of English placenames in all aspects of life." They've also created a Gealltanas Logainmneacha "to encourage individuals and groups to use Irish-only placenames" #SpéirGhorm
Stamp art of the new logo, showing Irish language names on a signpost with Reclaim Your Placename.

Motorists urged not to drive through flooding in Dublin as council monitors high river levels jrnl.ie/6955921 Probably worth noting the importance of logainmneacha here, for example, Tulcha - river that floods! Our ancestors named things with accuracy which we blithely ignore in modern planning.

Rivers like the Tolka in Drumcondra are higher than usual.

Looking forward to reading this at some point in the distant future and learning more about my family.

This book was found in my school today. It's from the first iterations of the school, the Glasnevin Model School. Handwritten over a century ago outlining the progress of the pupil teachers. Also a page with the subjects studied and scores achieved. Fascinating.

Another picture of the former cottages opposite Fagan's pub. Now a small park, it once contained these cottages. Pic taken from Glasnevin Heritage FB Site, Brian Lynch.

Aoine Ghlas amárach. If you're buying, why not buy Irish and from smaller businesses if possible? I've bought the ice coffee cup twice and it's in use every day. Think I'll get the keep cup this time. Maraduit.com

2 beautiful Marian shrines from a recent trip to Verona. That city has a way of maintaining its antiquity whilst moving with the times.

Sad to see the Wheeler Laboratory falling into disrepair. It's an art deco style building, one of a few in the Drumcondra Glasnevin area, but not so common in the city in general. They're all beautiful in their own way, so sad to see them neglected. Not sure of its use at present, if any?

A before and after of Glenavon. One of the older big houses left on the Ballymun Road. Always seemed mysterious behind the trees and curved driveway. Alas, no more.

Came across this amazing picture on the Glasnevin Heritage FB site. Houses in, what is now, the little park at Fagan's, Drumcondra. Poorly built and prone to flooding, they were knocked. Photo from the early 1900s.

There was a thin breeze blowing above Cranerin Graveyard today. Worth it for the views though. I love the wildness of this part of Wicklow.

I think it’s recorded as ‘Laght’ too. There’s a Laghtbrack Leacht breac in Kells Parish Co. Kilkenny. Referred to as a Grey Cairn with the cairn on the OSMap as ‘Whitemount’

I was unaware of this usage of the word 'leacht' until my friend Alan sent me this image and post. Beautiful place under the watch of the hawthorn. Quite a few 'leacht' placenames on Logainm. I liked this one below from Waterford. www.logainm.ie/en/1421624

A thousand years of amber sunsets have fallen beneath Old Kilpipe. A crescent moon to mirror our crescent masonry. A special place and a year of discovery awaits.

The coal holes of Eccles Street. Such care went into these everyday items. Harking back to grander days for this street.

The vista in Johnstown Park overlooking the city to the mountains. There were 2 Johnstown Houses fadó fadó. The one to the left on the map fell into ruin and Lawdon Tower renamed itself Johnstown House! You can see evidence of a ditch/boundary scarring the ground in the 3rd pic.
