 Parish of Dalkey   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Dalkey has a history, like Bullock, before its castles were built, and, until the beginning of the 19th century, rock monuments, dating from the time of the primitive inhabitants, were to be seen near the town.
During the 8th century Dalkey was the scene of a battle between two Irish tribes, and Forgartach, son of Niall, King of Ireland, fell by the hand of Cinoeth, son of Ingalach, on its plain.
The close of the 16th century marks the disuse of Dalkey, and the adoption of Ringsend as the port of Dublin, and from that time the town lost its importance commercially, and soon became ruinous.

Gardaí believe a second infant may have died at a house in Dalkey in the early- to mid-70s and the excavation of its garden is intended to establish if the body is buried there.

 Response to Dalkey Quarry Forum.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The entire Dalkey and Killiney Hill area is a very special semi-wild amenity and no encrocahment on or degradation of its status should be contemplated by the responsible local authority.
Dalkey is the nearest climbing amenity to the college and especially provides an ideal place to instruct new members of the club in belaying techniques due to its accessibility at the top of many of its routes.
To see part of Dalkey quarry being turned into a halting site for the travelling community would be a great shame both to the climbing community and for the thousands of others it would affect eg.

 Kara Dalkey: Bhagavati
Dalkey has taken on a great deal in trying to relate the various groups and showing their interactions, however, she is successful in their depictions.
Although Chinnery is very definitely the protagonist in Goa and Bijapur, he loses his centrality in Bhagavati as Dalkey turns her focus and attentions to the Goddess and her minions.
Dalkey's descriptions are lush when her characters first attain Bhagavati, but familiarity quickly moves them into the background.

 Jaded Ibis Productions, Inc.: THE PRESENT TENSE: e-dialog between R. M. Berry & John O'Brien
In some ways, the very question—though I am not sure that this was the intention—suggests a kinship of sorts between what FC2 and Dalkey Archive are up to as presses, a kinship that, for a variety of reasons, a number of people over the years have assumed to exist.
I agree with your final comment about the social insignificance of what we publish, or at least with the idea that, finally, the justification for our ventures can't be their impact on society in general, which by any ordinary measure has to be negligible.
But to argue: I would say that, in the history of both presses, Dalkey's editors and many of its authors would be confounded or put off by conceptual art (and now I must hope that none sees this remark).

Ah, if only other historical fantasies were as pretty and rich as this one is. Dalkey clearly has a handle on her Buddhist and Shinto folklore, as well as her historical knowledge of politics and customs.
Dalkey's writing is spare and vaguely formal, but she gives plenty of detail to the supernatural scenes.

But Dalkey doesn't just publish old books by non-American writers -- it's also the home for numerous American authors, including many still in their prime, thank you very much.
Currently, Dalkey publishes about 16 books per year, 4-6 of which are new titles.
And yet, interestingly enough, the press is doing better than ever, thanks precisely to the fact that mainstream publishers have adopted a repulsion similar to that of chain booksellers to books that are truly edgy or subversive or, often enough, particularly arty.

 Dalkey Islands Tern Project
Watching the waves crashing against the coast at Dalkey I feared the young birds and eggs not to mention the nestboxes couldn't possibly survive.
The original initiative came from BirdWatch HQ and it was hoped Roseate Terns might be encouraged to breed among the Common and Arctic terns that nest on the outcrop of rock known as Maidens Rock (or Corrig).
In other years usually one or two pairs of birds tried to nest there with mixed results, safe from the seas but in danger from rats and the goats that have been on the island for many years.
