File:INCHIGELLA(GH) DIARY AT 2 DEVONSHIRE STREET (JUNE 2012)-156879.jpg

English: Inchigeelagh Dairy was a shop at the junction of Devonshire Street, Coburg Street and Leitrim Street and the business name refereed to the family connections with west Cork. I have noticed that many descriptions have failed to notice that if the sign is examined in detail there are ghost imagesof the letters G and H.

The Official Description: "The scale and form of this house, which are in keeping with the adjoining terrace to the east and west, make a positive contribution to the streetscape. This area retains many nineteenth-century three-storey terraced houses, which contribute to the unique character of this part of the city. The regular form of the building is enhanced by the retention of interesting features and materials, such as the timber sash windows and the slate roof."

Inchigeelagh is a small village, townland and civil parish in County Cork, Ireland. The village is just outside a Gaeltacht area.

The River Lee passes through the village. The nearby 'pater noster' string of lakes collectively known as Lough Allua were once popular with anglers and are now fished for large pike, perch and some brown trout. The decline of fishing has coincided with the loss of salmon on the River Lee following the erection of the Carrigadrohid and Inniscarra hydroelectric dams down-river between 1952 and 1957. This led to the subsequent decline in the fortunes of the village as a location for angling.

A hotel was built in 1810 to serve the horse-drawn coaches of tourists travelling the Prince of Wales route to Kenmare and Killarney. It operated as The Lake Hotel (though it never had a view of the lake) until it closed in 2014. Another hotel was built across the street as Corcoran's Hotel but it became Creedon's Hotel and is now run by the fourth generation of the Creedon family.[citation needed] Recent efforts have been made to campaign for works to be done on the two dams that prevent salmon from accessing the Lee river's upper reaches and a documentary called River Runner has publicised the issues of the river.

Inchigeelagh was the meeting place for the Lyre Company Irish Volunteers, in April 1916, from where they intended to collect some of the rifles sent by Roger Casement on board the ship Aud for use in the 1916 Easter Rising. However, the ship was arrested by the British Navy before it could deliver the arms.
