Bedford Row Church 2008
This church was hidden behind the facade of the old Grand Central cinema for years until the National Development Plan began in the city centre. This picture was taken before a new more transparent frontage was added to the building in late 2008.

Pollardstown Fen
Picture of Pollardstown Fen. Blue sky with clouds, yellow /orange vegetation of long grasses, rushes and darker coloured shrubs. Large pool at the bottom of picture. Pollardstown Fen is the largest fen of its type in Ireland, reaching 220ha in area. It is now a Nature Reserve and a Special Area of Conservation. The fen began its development 12,000 years ago when a depression in the land surface flooded with water and debris from melting ice. Over time, plants grew and died in the depression forming layers of peat. Generally, this process would continue to form an acidic peat bog, which gets all its nutrients from rainwater, with no contact from groundwater. But Pollardstown fen is fed by 40 calcium rich springs from the Curragh sand and gravel aquifer, making a very different and rare environment. The fen is a glimpse back into Ireland past, holding thousands of years of information in its peat, but also as a picture to how the raised bogs that covered most of the central plain would have once started life.
