Rather than observing history passively (like passing through a museum), you can rent Ballyhannon Castle, one of the few historic Celtic castles Ireland has left, and experience medieval Ireland of centuries past by actually staying in the castle, and thereby interactively living in that medieval era. It has been carefully furnished with antiques to maintain that experience.
Upon entering the medieval entrance arch of Ballyhannon, visitors to the Castle have, almost without exception, described their first impression as "if having just stepped from a time machine, an immediate sense of having been transported back in time through turbulent centuries of Irish history. The impact of this rare and authentic castle’s historic appeal and significance is literally instant. Six-feet thick battle-impenetrable walls, winding spiral stone staircase, oak-beamed ceilings and flagstone floors will offer you this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience how they lived back in 1490 when Ballyhannon Castle was built".
Built during the Golden Age of castle-building (and therefore among the finest of the Celtic castles Ireland had designed and built in the 15th century), Ballyhannon Castle is described by a historian as being of atypical internal design, and of the medieval Celtic castles Ireland has available for rent for exclusive self-catering vacation rental, it is virtually unequalled in its original intact external and internal preservation despite the ravages of time. It is almost unique among medieval Irish Castles for rent which are still in use just as it was nearly 600 years ago.
For those of you who don’t wish to compromise on all of your present day comforts, modern conveniences and appliances have been sensitively and discreetly incorporated into this 600 years old castle. That said, it must be emphasised that this is a 15th century castle in every other sense.

On Oct 24, 2012 at the news of a coming “Frankenstorm,” Rain for Rent began to mobilize equipment and personnel from the Western and Southern United States.
What later became known as Hurricane Sandy devastated the eastern seaboard of the United States on Oct 29. The hurricane brought a storm surge and sent 10 foot walls of water through New York and New Jersey, affecting millions of residents and companies in the area and killing more than 130 people.
As the storm passed, the flood waters remained and Rain for Rent’s mobilization and emergency preparedness helped residents and businesses across the affected areas. Equipment was dispatched to various sites to support the needs of the Northern New Jersey and the New York City metro area.
In all, more than 530 pumps were mobilized to the New York / New Jersey area along with100 Rain for Rent employees to help the residents and companies of the Eastern U.S. grapple with dewatering to begin recovery.
Tunnels used by vehicles to access New York were completely underwater. Dewatering the tunnels would allow additional support and relief operations access to the city. In addition to emergency generator power and piping systems at the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, Rain for Rent mobilized HH125 and DV150i pumps to dewater the Queens Midtown Tunnel from the Queens and Manhattan sides. Water had to be pumped through the 1.3 mile long tunnel to discharge back into the ocean.
More than 100,000 power lines were downed by the storm and surge. One transmission center flooded that provided electricity for more than 900,000 customers and millions of New York residents. Much of lower Manhattan remained in the dark for days following the storm.
Rain for Rent provided pumping needed to empty the underground transformer vaults to allow repairs to be made and power restored. Three teams worked 24 hour shifts, providing continual pumping for the utility.
Refineries and a tank terminal blending facilities in New Jersey utilized Rain for Rent to help them salvage their operations and begin producing fuel for the surrounding area. Dozens of pumps, tanks, spill containment solutions and hoses to were used for dewatering needs.
Fire suppression systems were provided water by high head pumps, capable of producing up to 2,000 GPM at 150 psi and personnel while the facility was brought back online.
Additionally, Rain for Rent had to recreate wastewater systems in one refinery with two DV150i pumps, sand-media filtration and carbon filtration to lower the total organic compound levels to less than 2 parts per million. The system was designed by Rain for Rent to run at the needed 2,000 GPM to return the facility to operation.
Below grade construction at the World Trade Center flooded with millions of gallons of storm and sea water. Working with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and using DV300i pumps to boost the flow of submersible pumps, construction pit flood levels dropped four feet within four minutes of operation.
A major hub of transportation near the port of Newark needed to be drained. There was no access to create a pump station on land and access the tunnel, so a barge was floated in the port. The barge carried two DV300 pumps providing 8,000 GPM of dewatering.
U.S. Army Corps Of Engineering divers helped repair valves in the tunnel so water would not flow back in. In all, the pumps ran for 36 hours straight, draining all of the water from the train station.
Much of the Lower Manhattan basements were flooded by a mix of storm and sea water. Mixtures of oil, fuel and other contaminants in these basements meant the water could not simply be discharged into the city’s storm sewer system.
Rain for Rent tanks were used along with air operated diaphragm pumps to assist in the basement dewatering. The water was kept in tanks and later removed by vacuum truck in and around the Financial district and Water Street in Lower Manhattan over several days.
