SOMEONE LIKES PINK

I could be wrong but Buzz is new to Temple Bar in Dublin. When I was passing back the staff were photographing servings of ice cream and what appeared to be coffee.

DUNDRUM ROAD

29/11/2023

I used a Sony FX30 and as it has only an electronic shutter the images can show motion blur and that was a problem as there was a lot of moving cars getting in my way.

Up until two years ago this was an area that I had not explored in detail and in fact I did not know that is was Dundrum Road ... for some reason I thought that it was Taney Road.

Dundrum Road was originally a country road that connected Ranelagh [maybe Milltown] to Dundrum. The road was widened and improved in the 19th century to accommodate the increasing traffic between the city centre and the suburbs. In the 20th century, Dundrum Road became a major commercial and residential artery. The development of Dundrum Town Centre in the 1970s further cemented the road's importance.

PADDY MAC'S

29/11/2023

According to Google "Paddy Mac's is a traditional Irish pub located in the heart of Temple Bar, Dublin. It is a popular spot for both locals and tourists, and is known for its friendly atmosphere, live music, and traditional Irish food." I am in no position to argue with this description because I live locally and not frequent any of the pubs or bars in Temple Bar.

NEAR THE EUROCAMPUS BUS STOP 864

28/11/2023

As already mentioned I visit my mother, 104 in May, every Tuesday and Saturday and this means that I need to travel to Roebuck Road in Clonskeagh. For the last two years I have travelled to Windy Arbour by tram and the by bus (17 route) to Roebuck Road. Yesterday the 17 route was discontinued which complicate my life to a certain degree. So Bus Stop 864 is not redundant.

Kilian, also spelled Cillian or Killian (or alternatively Irish: Cillín; Latin: Kilianus), was an Irish missionary bishop and the Apostle of Franconia (now the northern part of Bavaria), where he began his labours in the latter half of the 7th century. His feast day is 8 July.

St Kilian's German School (Deutsche Schule Dublin - DSD) is an independent German international school in Dublin, Ireland.

St Kilian's was founded in the early 1950s, developing from the work of a Dublin charity, the Save the German Children Society, founded in 1945. 

Since 2002, St Kilian's has shared sites with Lycée Française d'Irlande, the combined campus known as the "Eurocampus".

The secondary school has a typical rate of progression to third-level of 90-100%. In 2020 this reduced to 63%, following significant reduction in teacher-assigned grades, with even native German language speakers being graded H3 instead of school-assessed H1. The school and 9 pupils pursued High Court actions over this.
