| Message | hi and congrats on a fab website.i have to agree with a previous cotributor who said that some of these places deserve to be left to ruin to remind us of our not so glorious past, ie.the good shepherds cork etc.some of the mansions were built while the people on these estates were hungry in their thatched cottages.whilst i feel this way i must commend you on preserving their memory. |

| Message | I know Ireland fairly well having lived there for a couple of years and visited many times. I bought the book in Limerick some weeks ago and devoured it. Since coming home I have thoroughly enjoyed this website and think it one of the best and most interractive sites I have ever come across. Having explored and visited some of the sites myself I have nevertheless found it frustrating that apart from the County name no effort is made to help a reader place the location of the ruin. Knowing the exact or even approximate whereabouts would help someone like myself who is familiar with the country but no longer lives there. I realise that most of the properties are in private hands and there are issues like insurance which generally preclude visits, nevertheless just placing its whereabouts in context I would find very helpful. Even so I love the site. T.B> I don't list location details on this website. These places are located on private land and are not open to the public. I also do not advertise the locations due to the eejts, thieves and vandals who wreck these places. |

| Message | Great photos of Bolands Mill on Pearse St, but as can be seen from the architectural style it was largely built in the 1940s and thus could have nothing to do with the 1916 Rising. Your historical notes in fact refer to the old Bolands Biscuit Mills building on the corner of Grand Canal Street and Macken Street. Its role in the 1916 Rising is commemorated by a plaque on the wall of the building along Macken Street. Following its closure it was substantially redeveloped as an office building in the late 1980s by Treasury Holdings. It now houses the offices of the National Treasury Management Agency and the (in)famous NAMA. Ironically a company owned by Treasury Holdings owes NAMA €997M.... |

| Message | I just came across your website today and I must say that the photography is just incredible! My ancestors originated from Ireland and to see these pictures and to think of how life was for them back then before they came to America is just priceless! Thank you!  |
