House of the Week
The hideaway 19th century Árd Cairn House in Ballintemple was visited by Charles Stewart Parnell back when it was owned by nationalist politician Maurice Healy, a one-time MP for Cork and a brother of Tim Healy, who went on to become the first Governor General of the Free State, in 1922.
A lawyer as well as a politician strong on land law, Maurice Healy ended his days in Cork, dying at his Ballintemple residence — Árd Cairn House — in 1923.
