Ennistymon
Ennistymon or Ennistimon () is a country market town in County Clare, near the west coast of Ireland. The River Inagh, with its small rapids known as the Cascades, runs through the town, behind the main street. A bridge across the river leads to nearby Lahinch, on the N67 national secondary road. The town is connected to Ennis by the N85, continuing the settlement's main street. Name The town's official name is Ennistimon, although Ennistymon is the spelling most widely used. Historically, it was spelt ''Inishdymon''. This is believed to derive from ''Inis Diomáin'' meaning "Diomán's island". However, Míchéal Ó Raghallaigh argues that the name is derived from ''Inis Tí Méan'' meaning "island of the middle house" or "river meadow of the middle house". Geography Ennistymon is located on the border of the upland area of County Clare known as the Burren. The Cullenagh River is called Inagh after the Ennistymon cascades, at which point it becomes tidal. History Ennist ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

People From South Dublin (county)
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of p ...
