A husband and wife were driving down a country lane on their way to visit some friends. They came to a muddy patch in the road and the car became bogged. After a few minutes of trying to get the car out by themselves, they saw a young farmer coming down the lane, driving a tractor. He stopped when he saw the couple in trouble and offered to pull the car out of the mud for €50. The husband accepted and minutes later the car was free. The farmer turned to the husband and said, "You know, you're the tenth car I've helped out of the mud today." The husband looks around at the fields incredulously and asks the

Cruise Royal Caribbean Explore. Discover. Experience. By Catherine Maguire your Local Travel Agent There's something extra-special about a cruise. It might be that sense of adventure which comes from exploring the world. Maybe it's being treated like royalty on a ship which feels more like a floating city. One thing's for sure - whether it's relaxation or excitement you seek, a cruise holiday never fails to amaze. There has been unique cruise experiences for decades, and in that time, the cruise experience has come a long, long way. Entertainment has evolved from afternoon bingo sessions and aqua aerobics to star-studded Broadway shows and surf simulators. As for food, you can expect an upgrade on bland lunch buffets with Michelin-starred dining from the world's greatest chefs. Gone are the tiny bare cabins, replaced by bright and airy suites with exceptional facilities. It's a world where everything is included, and nothing is left to chance. But for many, the main thrill of a cruise hasn't changed in the slightest. It's that timeless appeal of closing your eyes for a night's sleep and waking up in a new country. Experiencing several different landscapes, cultures and languages in just one holiday. Simply, there's no more magical way of seeing the world. It's much more than the Med and Caribbean too! With Travel Counsellors, you can cruise everywhere from the Arctic Circle to Southeast Asia, and even some of the world's greatest rivers - with packed itineraries designed to create lifelong memories. There's just so much choice! Whether you're a cruise veteran or a complete first timer, curious about that 'Wow factor' everyone's been talking about, there is a cruise which is perfect for you! Cruise Royal Caribbean Rhapsody of the Seas, Greek Isles and Turkey Discovery. So many beautiful European destinations, yet so little time. A cruise holiday will leave you spoilt for choice and offer you the time to discover so many unique locations.

Next, you will marvel at the magnificent ruins of Ephesus and the sandy beaches of Bodrum, Turkey. Moving on, you will take in the Greek delights of Chania, Crete before returning to Rome once more for a second night to relax at the 4* Best Western Universo Hotel. The hotel is located near the heart of Rome’s historical centre, just steps from the Opera House. If ever there was a place to return to and delve deeper, it’s Rome. Whilst on-board, indulge yourself on the Rhapsody of the Seas with 11 decks of activity, entertainment, dining and stylish accommodation. Rhapsody of the Seas is a light and airy ship with more than two acres of glass canopies, skylights and floor to ceiling windows, offering fabulous views, including a 360 degree panoramic view available in the Viking Crown Lounge. Burn off energy at the rock climbing wall, fitness centre, running track or one of the two pools or relax with a treatment in the spa. After sundown, Rhapsody of the Seas offers a selection of dining options from fine dining to casual dining, themed bars, entertainment options and the very popular casino. All the staterooms on board Rhapsody of the Seas are designed with your comfort in mind.Port of Calls include: Rome, Italy – Santorini, Greece – Ephesus, Turkey - Bodrum, Turkey – Chania, Greece.

Tipperary Youth Group get behind the camera ahead of the Irish Cancer Society X-HALE Youth Awards Pictured are members from Tipperary Youth Project who recently attended a film-making workshop in Mayfield, Cork ahead of their entry to the X-HALE Youth Awards 2015. X-HALE is an initiative developed by the Irish Cancer Society to encourage young people to take action on the issue of smoking in their own communities. As part of X-HALE, the Irish Cancer Society hosts the annual XHALE Youth Awards which sees youth groups from around the country enter community action projects and film projects around the issue of
smoking. Tipperary Youth Project attended the filming workshop in preparation of their film entries to the X-HALE Youth Awards in the summer to learn about film producing and editing. In total this year, 36 groups have received funding from the Society and a further 15 groups have received training support. The Society has awarded over €123,000 to youth groups and organisations through the X-HALE Youth Awards to create smoking related community awareness projects since the initiative started five years ago.

Jason O’Callaghan at Nenagh Arts Centre An unmissable comedic event is coming to Nenagh Arts Centre on Saturday, June 27th, with Jason O’Callaghan bringing the mystical art of hypnosis to the stage in this breathtaking and hilarious show which undoubtedly will add the WOW Factor and promises to provide the laughter and fun for all. Jason’s training and experience as a Trinity College Master Psychologist, together with his years of experience as an entertainer, assures a great night’s entertainment. His show delivers a comedic performance and demonstration of the amazing powers of the unconscious mind and the power that each of us can tap into. Watch Jason as he hypnotizes volunteers to forget their own name, to believe that there are world famous celebrities in the audience, that they are on the X Factor, or that they are the
world’s most famous singer or dancer, that they can speak to Aliens or that their belt is actually a live snake. Tickets €15/€12 are available from Nenagh Arts Centre, Banba Square, Nenagh or online at www.nenagharts.com

ENTERTAINMENT & EVENTS Des Bishop at The Source Thurles Des Bishop is coming home after spending over a year in China. He has some fun stories to tell about that: from working in a restaurant in the North East for a month to trying to find a wife in a Marriage park; plus some great journeys with Leo his co-worker from the Abrakebabra days. But he also can’t wait to tell you about all the things he missed about home: democracy, milk, sarcasm and so much more. Most importantly though Des just can’t wait to speak English without being censored. Absence makes the heart grow funnier, so come and check out this unique show. Undoubtedly one of the most enigmatic forces on the international comedy circuit, Des continues to travel the world over with his stand up shows. His most recent visit to The Source Arts Centre was with the show My Dad Was Nearly James Bond. It received its premiere at the 2010 Melbourne International Comedy Festival winning rave reviews and played to packed audiences up and down the country.

The openness and honesty of his presenting style combined with his restless imagination and insightful comic observations make Des Bishop a “must-see” for fans of unique, enquiring and entertaining comedy. A sell out is predicted, advance booking is advised.

Tipperary Ladies Football team who played Clare in the Munster Intermediate Championship in Kilmihil.
Tipperary GAA Scene by Acting PRO Joe Bracken. Munster Senior Hurling Semifinal The clock is rapidly winding down towards the Gaelic Grounds for the senior hurlers of Tipperary who meet Limerick in the Munster semi-final on Sunday June 21st, at 4pm. It may be Mid Summers Day, but in many people’s eyes the summer will only be beginning as Eamon O’Shea and his team of Mick Ryan, Paudie O’Neill and Declan Fanning show their hand in the ring and hope that the plans in place are enough to deliver a knockout blow to the Treaty men’s aspiration of reaching the provincial decider on July 14th, even a standing count will do. Though nine weeks since the side last saw competitive action, last year’s encounter against Limerick at the same stage will probably bear greater significance by the time Sunday week comes round.
Munster Intermediate Hurling Semi-final The Tipperary Intermediate hurlers line out against Limerick at 2pm in the Gaelic Grounds, also on Sunday 21st, before the senior clash. A difficult enough task awaits the side that have had to reply on challenge games to give an indication of form while Limerick will have had their quarter-final experience to gauge their momentum. That aside, the strength of this Tipperary outfit should give manager John Carroll and his management team plenty of selection headaches ahead of the fixture.
Munster Minor Hurling Semifinal Tipperary will play Clare in the Electric Ireland Munster Minor Hurling Championship Semi-Final on Wednesday June 24th at 7.30pm in Semple Stadium.

up.The course involved monitored coaching sessions, a written exam and a rules test. Thurles Squash Club are proud to have 4 qualified squash coaches now and are available to support beginners and existing members to improve their game.

Premier Plan Tipperary County Board launched a 5 year strategic plan in 2011 to guide the development of the GAA in Tipperary. Called the Premier Plan, it focused on the development of our games, clubs, facilities and the achievement of greater success at inter-county level. Association with Tipperary GAA is association with success, with tradition, with progress and with the nation’s strongest sporting brand, the GAA. The County Board needs to develop additional income streams to achieve our ambitious but realistic goals. Therefore the Tipperary County Board are seeking commercial sponsorship to do this. Next up on the agenda therefore is the Team Tipperary GAA Race Day at the Galway Races on July 27th next. The Galway Races Summer Festival is renowned as a premier and most colourful racing festival.
Left to Right: Karl McLoughney, Elvy Da Costa and Micheál Hassett While it is a major sporting event, it also appeals to a much wider audience than just the racing fans. With the Killanin Stand Suites, there is something for everyone whether you are entertaining family, friends or business clients. This is the ideal format for mixing business with pleasure, whilst surrounded by the atmosphere and excitement that is the Galway Races.

Counselling Anxiety
(continued from previous issue)
Anxiety. Existential Anxiety. having meaning in our lives. Facing our life’s crises. We are always free. By Jim O’Shea I believe that having meaning in our life is fundamental to our happiness. Even at our most hopeless and helpless, we can find meaning. I also believe that having meaning is a good antidote to anxiety. When he was in a concentration camp the great psychiatrist, Viktor Frankl, survived because he found meaning, even though most of his close relatives perished under the Nazi regime. He married in 1942, but in September of that year, Viktor, his wife, parents, and brother, were all arrested, and interned at Theresienstadt in Bohemia. His father starved to death there. His mother and brother were killed at Auschwitz in 1944. His wife died at Bergen-Belsen in 1945. Only his sister Stella survived because she had emigrated to Australia a short while earlier. Yet he found meaning in life. His wife had died, but she lived in him. We can be free in our minds irrespective of our suffering and our circumstances. Existential means experiential or dealing with existence especially human existence. Therefore, existential anxiety, which is widespread, is about failing to face some of the many life crises that all of us inevitably experience. And what are these crises? For some it might be a powerful fear of growing old, for others an associated fear of death. Death arouses the ultimate existential fear. We may be paralysed at the idea of loss, and all of us suffer loss. We are all the children of someone, and our parents die. Of all the anxieties, this fundamental one can evoke a very positive and inherent response by us as human beings. In other words, this type of anxiety, painful though it is, is part of life for all of us. Putting it another way, if we are anxious about death, we may be more inclined to explore life in a fuller way. However, if our fear of death is debilitating, then the anxiety has become neurotic. Its roots do not lie in existentialism, but is some other area, such as childhood difficulties or other trauma. There are many other life crises that we may fear, for example, we may have to face great loneliness, we may struggle in forming a relationship, we may have problems in our relationships, we may fear pain and illness, we may have a fear of responsibility, and so on. These are all existential crises. Existential counselling emphasises personal freedom and responsibility. It is about choices. Existential anxiety leads to emptiness, loneliness, and guilt. Its roots lie in four fears – fear of death, fear of creating guilt, fear of having a meaningless life, and fear of isolation. This might include fear of spiritual emptiness. During the lamentably materialistic ethos and greed of the Celtic Tiger years, I imagine there was a significant amount of spiritual emptiness. We are spiritual beings (I do not mean
religious beings as such), and spiritual emptiness is a painful experience. Spiritually means awareness of something higher, a higher power. This may be God to millions of people, but it can also mean a sense of connectedness to the universe, or an awareness of the beauty of nature. If you like poetry you might like to read some of William Wordsworth’s poetry, which explores the spirit and the beauty of nature. Spirituality is something that brings you outside of yourself, where you get lost, for example, in the loveliness of nature, or the strangeness of a misty morning. I think that Wordsworth saw nature as a higher power that brought him peace and consolation. You may not have fully understood his poetry when you were at school, but consider the lines that nature is ‘a motion and a spirit that impels all thinking things, all objects of all thoughts and flows through all things’. This is how he expressed the calmness he got from his memory of nature But oft, in lonely rooms, and 'mid the din Of towns and cities, I have owed to them In hours of weariness, sensations sweet, Felt in the blood, and felt along the heart; And passing even into my purer mind, With tranquil restoration: — What a lovely line - ‘tranquil restoration’. The very opposite to a state of anxiety. We live in a rushed world that is getting smaller and smaller. We are inundated with bad news from every corner of the globe. All instantly transmitted into our living rooms. Perhaps, poetry is a creative way to deal with existential anxiety. When my child was killed in 1990, I wrote some poetry that still gives me consolation. We all have the gift of writing poetry.
