Ireland, County Dublin, Dublin, Spring 2023

The Custom House is a neoclassical 18th-century building in Dublin, Ireland which houses the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage. It is located on the north bank of the River Liffey. Construction started in 1781. When the port of Dublin moved further downriver, the building's original use for collecting customs duties became obsolete, and it was used as the headquarters of the Local Government Board for Ireland.
During the Irish War of Independence in 1921, the Irish Republican Army burnt down the Custom House, to disrupt British rule in Ireland by destroying tax records.

Ireland, County Carlow, Duckett’s Grove, Spring 2023

Duckett's Grove is a ruined 19th-century great house and former estate in County Carlow, Ireland. It was formerly the focal point of a big estate which dominated the local landscape of the area for more than two centuries. The interior of the house was destroyed by a major fire in the 1930s and is now inaccessible. Few years ago, Duckett's Grove was featured in an TV show to find out if the ruins are haunted by a Banshee Ghost.

Ireland, County Cork, Bantry, Spring 2023

Bantry is a town in County Cork, Ireland. It lies in West Cork at the head of Bantry Bay. The focus of the town is a large square, formed partly by infilling of the shallow inner harbour. In former times, this accommodated regular cattle fairs; after modernising as an urban plaza, it now features a weekly market and occasional public functions. Two piers protect the harbour.
