THE GROUNDS AT ST PATRICK’S COLLEGE

THE GROUNDS AT ST PATRICK’S COLLEGE IN MAYNOOTH ARE WELL WORTH A VISIT

St Patrick’s, Maynooth opened its doors as an educational institution in 1795 as the National Seminary, becoming a Pontifical University in 1896. In the intervening two centuries, it has established for itself an impressive reputation for scholarship and learning.

The Pontifical University and National Seminary are often referred to as Maynooth College. Today, as a Pontifical University, the St Patrick’s specialises in the study of theology and philosophy and related areas, in one of the most beautiful campuses in Ireland, and the support of Ireland’s newest university, Maynooth University. Note: I am not sure about the claim that Maynooth is the newest university as I live beside TU Grangegorman which became a university in 2019.

JUNIOR HOUSE GARDENS ST PATRICK’S COLLEGE IN MAYNOOTH

JUNIOR HOUSE GARDENS ST PATRICK’S COLLEGE IN MAYNOOTH

I actually undertook a Masters in Core Operating Systems and was based in the Logic Building which was close to this interesting garden but at the time I was unaware of its existence until I visited the College in 2020,

Patrick Corish (1921 – 2013) was a priest of the Diocese of Ferns, born in Ballycullane parish in County Wexford. He is best known as a distinguished Irish historian and a President of St. Patrick’s College, Maynooth. For many years, he was Professor of Ecclesiastical History in Saint Patrick’s College Maynooth, in succession to the late Cardinal Tomás Ó Fiaich.

In his retirement, he took great delight in developing the rock garden which was part of the original walled garden in the College. In 1984 he joined the Alpine Garden Society and raised many plants from seed in the quarter acre garden.

He died in 2013 and is buried in the College cemetery.

Since his death, an annual Monsignor Patrick J Corish Lecture has been held by Maynooth College in his memory.

I have seen the garden referred to as the “junior garden” and the “junior house gardens” and I do know which is correct.

Within the campus two large buildings, Rhetoric and Logic Houses, were built in early 1830s and became the Junior House which has an associated garden featuring wild flowers and plants.

MAYNOOTH CASTLE 19 JUNE 2022

MAYNOOTH CASTLE 19 JUNE 2022

Many years ago I had a tour of the interior of the castle and was told that I was not permitted to photograph because my camera looked professional and I would, therefore, need a permit in advance of the tour. Today I used an iPhone but I did not actually enter the building.

Maynooth Castle is a ruined 12th century castle in Maynooth, County Kildare, Ireland which stands at the entrance to the South Campus of Maynooth University. Constructed in the early 13th century, it became the primary residence of the Kildare Fitzmaurice and Fitzgerald family.

THE TOWN OF MAYNOOTH ON A REALLY WARM DAY

THE TOWN OF MAYNOOTH ON A REALLY WARM DAY

Back in the day I had lunch at least once a week in Maynooth and I was often joined by a friend or two. Today I decided to practice for the future by having a large beer at the Roost [outside of course]. The staff were not a hundred precent sure that they will get to get the go-ahead to reopen on Monday but will be very disappointed if they don’t.

The Roost is a large public house with separate bars, a public bar, lounge area, mezzanine bar and a music bar.

ST PATRICK’S COLLEGE CAMPUS – NO STUDENTS TO BE SEEN

ST PATRICK’S COLLEGE CAMPUS – NO STUDENTS TO BE SEEN

Maynooth University consists of two connected campuses: an older southern campus, with 19th-century buildings, shared with St Patrick’s College, and, across a public road, a modern northern campus.

Maynooth University was formally established as an autonomous university as recently as 1997, yet traces its origins to the foundation of the Royal College of St. Patrick in 1795, making it, simultaneously, Ireland’s youngest university and one of its oldest educational institutions.

Maynooth has an international reputation for research in humanities; social and spatial sciences; mathematics, communication and computation; and human health.

In the 1990s the EU kindly organised and paid for me to undertake a post-grad in “UNIX – Core Kernel” and I was a bit surprised that I had to travel all the way to St. Patrick’s College in Maynooth every day for the duration of the course. At the time I did not understand the distinction between Maynooth University and St. Patrick’s College and am still a bit confused.

I was the only person from Ireland on the course and I met some very interesting people from Europe, Africa and Asia and the professor in charge was from China. The tutors were from Ireland and Britain. So, it was a bit sad to see the campus devoid of students because of Covid-19.
