Phoenix Park Dublin - Largest Enclosed Recreational Space - The Amazing Phoenix Park Dublin Ireland
Dating back to the Norman times - Phoenix Park (Irish: Páirc an Fhionnuisce) is an urban park in Dublin, Ireland, lying 2–4 km west of the city centre, north of the River Liffey. Its 11 km perimeter wall encloses 707 hectares (1,750 acres); it is one of the largest enclosed recreational spaces within any European capital city
The Phoenix Park in Dublin is the largest enclosed park in any capital city in Europe - adding just another item on the list one will write about the places to visit in Dublin, Ireland. This park includes large areas of grassland and tree-lined avenues, and since the 17th century, has been home to a herd of wild fallow deer.
The history of Phoenix park goes back to 1660's when it was designed and formed as a royal hunting park before it opened to the public in 1747. For those who are coming to visit Dublin and are not local people living around, Phoenix park is only a mile and a half from O'Connell street, where people usually go for shopping, checking that historical street, and at the same time passing by the different statues found on it (
This beautiful park which people could have a walk through happens to be a home to the Zoological Gardens, Áras an Uachtaráin, and Victorian flower gardens; adding a little bit importance for the place and another reason why people - especially those interested in flowers - come inside and walk through.
There are different purposes that could be done there that change according to the person heading to the park; some people visit Phoenix Park for a run, a walk, for hurling, polo, cricket, and even other reasons and this happens because it is a place considered suitable for all these different activities.
Phoenix Park is open all year round; seven days a week and 24 hours of the day. There are different gates that lead into this park; the main gates of the park at Parkgate Street and Castleknock Gate are open 24 hours, but those side gates to the park are open from 7 AM until approximately 10:45 PM.
Today, Phoenix Park is home to the President as well as the base for An Garda Siochana HQ and Dublin Zoo. There are some important facts related to the history of this park which people who are interested about visiting it should know more about, such as the Dublin Zoo found in it and which is considered the fourth oldest zoo in Europe and where there are around 400 animals from different species living in it.
The Phoenix Park might appear large and huge for some people but - not to be surprised - it was actually larger and has been downsized to its current size to make room for the Royal Hospital at Kilmainham in 1680. While walking inside Phoenix Park, one will get introduced to history through the buildings and other things that are found there, such as the Ashtown Castle which is considered the oldest building there built in the 1430's but which has been rebuilt with stones again later on.
We know that the famous historical parks, gardens, and squares are related to some famous figures that were cherished back in their days, such as the case with Merrion Square where Oscar Wilde lived for almost 26 years and which is now considered a place to visit in Dublin ( When it comes to Phoenix Park, this time it is related to Winston Churchill who lived there between the ages of two and six in the Vice Regal Lodge, which is now the Aras, who later revealed that his first coherent memory was in the park.
Most important of all is the Wellington Monument over at the Kilmainham and River Liffey edge, which is considered the largest obelisk in Europe at 203 foot tall and which was believed to be taller if the funding did not run out. This monument commemorates the victories of the Duke of Wellington and those bronze plaques which are found at the sides represent Wellington's career and are cast from cannons captured at the battle of Waterloo.
There are different events that take place inside the Phoenix park which range between races, running marathons, as well as concerts, so it is not just a place to visit and have a walk through, it is more of a place that you could attend something at.
Coming to Dublin, the capital city of Ireland, there are different things that one could actually pass by and visit. One of the most famous is the Mansion House, where the Lord Mayor of Dublin resides ( another famous landmark is the Molly Malone statue which a lot of people tend to pass by just to take a picture ( In addition to those, there is the Four Courts along the River Liffey which one could pass by ( Leinster House ( or even having a general sightseeing tour by hopping on the hop-on hop-off bus for a tour around Dublin city( Phoenix Park Dublin

University College Dublin, Ireland, Plant Growth Chambers & Controlled Environmental Facility
University College Dublin, Ireland
My lab at UCD is called Péac Program for Experimental Atmospheres and Climate. It's been very successful in terms of research output. An experiment that we have just finished is one that we ran for a year. We were trying to understand an extinction event which happened two hundred million years ago at the boundary of the Triassic and Jurassic period. What we have to do is simulate the atmospheric composition and climates of the past. Using controlled environment chambers like Conviron's. We reconstruct the hypothesized atmosphere and climate from important periods in our history. And we try to understand how morphology and anatomy and also physiology responds to those highly controlled environmental conditions.
Understanding the Evolution of Agriculture
Currently I have two big five year projects. We have one looking at the evolution of agriculture where we are growing ancient varieties of our current major crop plants. And we're looking at the interaction between CO2 and cold temperature tolerance. The plan for that experiment is trying to understand whether there is some untapped genetic potential and how the plants interact with CO2 and cold temperature so that we may be able to improve future crops. Another colleague is working on how CO2 influences the relationship between a pathogen and wheat. She is looking at multiple generations to see if those relationship inherited. An experiment we are running at this moment is that we are growing many different evolutionary groups of plants - particularly ancient plants. And we are trying to understand whether changes in oxygen composition have influenced some of the major transitions and plant revolution in our history.
Reconstructing Atmospheric Compositions
Many researchers have worked with elevated CO2 but nobody to our knowledge has worked with controlling atmospheric oxygen and atmospheric SO2 concentrations in such a large volumes of space.
The lab has been a big success in terms of research output but it's also been a big success in terms of the technical abilities we have with all of the equipment. I had already developed a good relationship with Conviron and as a company they were completely open to reconstructing the atmospheres composition from the geological past. What I perceived as a huge challenge and something that was not going to be possible -- they seemed to be able to meet that challenge. We now have this really fantastic laboratory where we can control all of these atmospheric gases with all of the other standard climate, photoperiod, light and environments that one would get in any standard chamber.

Architects Protest at Dublin Israel Sponsored Event
Around the world interesting buildings are opened to the public as part of an architectural celebration called Open House. In Dublin, however, the Civic Trust a charity which protects architectural heritage in Ireland sparked controversy by opening its doors to an Open House project sponsored by the embassy of Israel in Dublin. The event attended by Ambassador Boaz Modai encouraged members of the public to send post cards to Tel Aviv which in itself is not controversial. It was the fact that the event invitation claimed that Tel Aviv was raised out of the sand. A number of eminent Irish architects co-signed a letter to the Irish Times complaining that Tel Aviv was in fact built on four Palestinian towns which were cleared in what the Palestinians call Al Nakba translated as the catastrophe. Some of the signatories were joined by humans rights activists from trade unions, academic institutions and the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign to demonstrate out side the Civic Trust.
