  • This is a different type of bird...
  • Queen's University and the Botanic Gardens
  • Because of its mild climate, flowers can grow here outside.  The ship picked up a load of flowers here and put them in our rooms and dining rooms.

  • Kinsale (Irish: Cionn tSáile) is a fishing village in County Cork, Ireland. It has a population of 2,257 which increases substantially during the summer months when the tourist season is at its peak and when the boating fraternity arrive in large numbers. The April 2006 census recorded that British nationals made up 9% of the town's population.<br />
<br />
Kinsale is a popular holiday resort for Irish and foreign tourists. Leisure activities include yachting, sea angling, and golf. The town also has several art galleries and a school of English. The town is compact with a quaint air of antiquity in the narrow streets. This is a large yachting marina close to the town centre.

  • In 1333, under a charter granted by King Edward III of England, the Corporation of Kinsale was established to undertake local government in the town.[7] The corporation existed for over 500 years until the passing of the Municipal Corporations (Ireland) Act 1840, when local government in Kinsale was transferred to the Town Commissioners who had been elected in the town since 1828. These Town Commissioners became the Kinsale Council under the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898. In 2011, Phil Hogan, the Fine Gael Minister for the Environment and Local Government announced that the Kinsale Town Council would be abolished in 2014, along with all other town councils in Ireland. This will be the first time in nearly 700 years that Kinsale will be left without its own elected local authority.<br />
In 1601, Kinsale was the site of a battle in which English forces defeated an Irish/Spanish force, led by the princes Hugh Roe O'Donnell and Hugh O'Neill.[8] Following this battle the Flight of the Earls occurred in which a number of the native Irish aristocrats, including the Earls of Tyrone and Tir Conaill, abandoned their lands and fled to mainland Europe.<br />
In 1690, James II of England and Ireland, following his defeat at the Battle of the Boyne, departed to France.
  • On a high point in the town stands the magnificent St Colman's Cathedral, and its carillon of forty-nine bells.
  • The Pope served Mass on this site.  3/4 of Dublin came.  Interestingly, there is no Catholic Cathedral in Dublin...long story.
  • Just a fun shot taken at sunset as we pulled out.
