No full textNewbridge House, in north County Dublin, was built in 1747 by Archbishop of Dublin, Charles Cobbe to designs by prominent architect James Gibbs. Having arrived in Ireland in 1717, acquiring land and ecclesiastical promotion, Cobbe settled in north Dublin and built a house in the Palladian vision for his family. In 1755 his heir and sole surviving son Thomas married Lady Elizabeth ‘Betty’ Beresford, daughter of the 1st earl of Tyrone. Together Thomas and Lady Betty assembled an art collection at Newbridge, extending the house for that purpose. Included in that extension were more bedrooms, but, importantly here, increased servants’ quarters, including a large modern kitchen. Continually lived in by their descendants over the following centuries, Newbridge’s collection of artwork, furniture, and family chattels remains intact unlike so many Irish country houses. Threading the objects with the past lives and revealing countless stories is the exceptional family archive preserved in the house. Newbridge was sold in 1985 to Dublin County Council (now Fingal) and a unique arrangement was made enabling the house, albeit in public ownership, to retain private living quarters for the Cobbe family. Importantly, this continuing arrangement preserves the original collection and archives in situ at Newbridge House. As will be shown here, new research and recent acquisitions—particularly the Cobbe recipe book 1806–1838—combine to reveal a detailed culinary narrative of one of Ireland’s surviving country houses
Ireland’s Best Kept Secret: The Unique Role of Home Management Advisors in Supporting Families in the Community
No full textIn Ireland, early intervention family support models are the focus of researchers and policy makers. One such model, the Home Management Advisory (HMA) service, provided in the main by home economists, delivers education, support and advice to families on all aspects of home management. A qualitative examination of the role of home management advisors, underpinned by a strengths-based approach, was conducted through in depth semi-structured interviews with past and present advisors. The study aimed to gain insights into their experiences in delivering community-based family support. The study found service provision is limited to a small geographical area in the West of Ireland. The findings highlighted the provision of a wide range of practical supports, delivered in family homes, and tailored to the specific needs of each family. However, in recent years, the service has faced significant challenges in communicating its value due to a declining number of advisors, and its limited availability, confined to just two counties in Ireland. The research suggests the service, as it stands, is an integral part of a multiagency strengths-based approach to family support within the community. Therefore, greater efforts are needed to raise stakeholder awareness of a unique family support service to ensure development regionally and nationally
