FĂĄilte Ireland is currently assessing a number of further applications from that call and will be announcing another round of funding before the end of the year.

Ireland’s Ancient East is geared to maximise the history and heritage in East and South of Ireland and bring it to greater international attention. To do this, the new initiative will offer visitors a personal experience of 5000 years of history through a relaxing journey of discovery in the beautiful landscape that attracted warring settlers for millennia and illuminated by stories from the best storytellers in the world – the local people. Stretching from Carlingford, County Louth down through Newgrange and the Boyne Valley in the north east and ranging through the midlands all the way down via Carlow and Kilkenny’s Medieval mile to Waterford’s Viking Quarter and Cork’s many cultural attractions, the new experience brand is intended to match and complement the Wild Atlantic Way in terms of scale and ambition.

OLDER men in rural areas were the focus of this year’s Mouth Cancer Awareness Day. The organisers said isolated older men are vulnerable because a greater percentage smoke and drink, and they are reluctant to seek medical help. Over a hundred people die every year from mouth cancer - that is greater than the number who die from skin cancer. Dentist Dr Gillian Smith has said people should be aware of the symptoms which include ulcers that do not heal within three weeks, red or white patches in the mouth, or other unusual changes in the mouth or neck. The campaign is being backed by Martin McAleese, a trained dentist and husband of former President Mary McAleese, who has highlighted the problems faced by many men in rural areas who feel isolated and alone. “Mouth cancer is often referred to as the silent

killer because its proÂżOH LV PXFK ORZHU WKDQ other types of cancer. The purpose of mouth cancer awareness day is to make it more widely known and I think this year’s focus on rural communities is timely,â€?

Accelerating car sales help the drive for jobs

Walkout before council votes to peg property tax FOUR Fianna Fail councillors left a special meeting of Carlow County Council before a vote on the property tax rate for next year. Councillors Ann Ahern, Jennifer Murnane O’ Connor, John Pender and Fintan Phelan walked out of the meeting after remarks made in the chamber in relation to Councillor Murnane O’ Connors General Election candidacy were not withdrawn. The vote on the property tax went ahead and it was decided that there will be no change to the rate for 2016. County Carlow Chamber welcomed the vote which it said taken away uncertainty. The Chamber had feared that a reduction would push up commercial rates. Speaking after the council vote Chamber President Derek Shannon said: “The Chamber had already made a submission on this issue. Our greatest concern was that a reduction in LPT revenue would have directly resulted in an increase in commercial rates for the business community in County Carlow in order to balance the books. The decision taken by the Councillors again takes away some uncertainty for local member businesses.�

Brendan Howlin: tax relief

Carlow will receive â‚Ź5.35 million from Local Property Tax receipts in 2016. This represents 80 per cent of the tax paid in the county, with the remainder going into a national fund. This is in line with a Government decision that 80% of the money raised by the Local Property Tax next year will be retained locally, to fund vital public services. It has also decided that no

local authority will be worse RÉŁ LQ FRPSDUHG WR WKLV year. Therefore, the remaining 20% will be redistributed to provide top-up funding to certain local authority areas that have lower property tax bases, due to the variance in property values across the State. Public Expenditure minister Brendan Howlin has said property taxes are going to increase “organically over timeâ€?. Mr Howlin said the tax reliefs in next month’s Budget will focus more on workers rather than homeowners. The Government has already committed to delaying the increase in property tax which is planned for November 2016. However, Minister Howlin has hinted that the freeze ZLOO QRW EH PDGH RɤFLDO IRU another year. Mr Howlin said: “Well, I mean property taxes will increase organically over time, but there is a fair tax burden on people right now. “So the focus as we have agreed with Fine Gael in the upcoming budget will be to reduce the taxation pressure on people, but primarily the taxation pressure on people who are at work.â€?

There’s a Macra member for every month MEMBERS of Macra na Feirme have produced a calendar aimed at promoting positive mental health. Funds raised from the calendar will go towards the St Patrick’s Walk in My Shoes campaign. Macra has described the calendar as a “tongue in cheekâ€? look at farming. Ă ine O’ Callaghan, from Termonfeckin Macra in Co Louth, said she wanted to appear in the calendar because she knows too many people who have taken their own lives in the farming community – particularly young men. “The amount of people I know involved in agriculture who have taken their own lives is too high,â€? she said. “You’d do anything you can to help. “I do know a lot, too many, young men who have gone down that route. I’m hearing too much of it in the last three WR ÂżYH \HDUV ´ Ă ine noted that some men ZDQW WR JLYH RÉŁ WKH LPSUHVVLRQ they’re a “big tough farming lad and nothing gets to themâ€?, but said attitudes are changing and people are becoming more comfortable with discussing their emotions. A recent survey carried out by the Irish Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy found that 25% of respondents from the farming community said they would have GLɤFXOW\ GLVFXVVLQJ WKHLU SHUsonal problems. Ă ine works in a pharmacy, but her father and boyfriend are both farmers. She said taking part in the shoot was daunting but noted: “Everyone was in the same boat. We all mucked in and had great craic. You knew you were doing something good.â€? Brendan Phelan is a member of Callan Macra in Kilkenny.

He also said he knows of too many people who have died by suicide. “Any county you go to, any parish you go into, there’s DOZD\V SHRSOH DÉŁHFWHG E\ VXLcide.â€? Brendan said farming can be a particularly lonely career due to the long hours and lack of income. He said it’s “impossibleâ€? for some farmers to socialise as they might be holding down two jobs or not have a lot of money. Brendan works part-time on his father’s farm and also works as a civil engineer and commercial diver. He said the calendar is “a huge step for Macraâ€? as it will help conversations about mental health to take place around the country. Claire Walsh, the current Kilkenny Rose, also took part in the shoot. She’s a primary teacher in Laois but her dad is a dairy farmer. She said Macra provides a great outlet for so many people in terms of socialising and making friends. Claire said she was spurred on to take part in the calendar because her friend’s sister died by suicide a few years ago.

Your child will get sick 10 times a year - here’s what you can do about it PHARMACISTS say school children can expect to get sick 10 times a year. They are highlighting Australian research which points to children catching between three and eight colds during term time, and a couple of stomach bugs as well. However, the Irish Pharmacy Union says that they are ‘normal’ illnesses, and hard to avoid. Pharmacists are reminding parents that it is possible to treat many minor ailments at home and have issued some practical tips for parents on treating the most common childhood conditions.

Chickenpox Schools are one of the most common places for chickenpox outbreaks. It presents as a rash of small red patches which blister and crust over. The rash is itchy and fever may occur. It is important that children don’t scratch the blisters as they can become infected. Calamine lotion and paracetamol can give relief. Children should stay out of school until all the crusts have gone.

Head Lice Routinely check your child’s hair once a week checking close to the scalp, behind the ears, around the nape of the neck, top of the head and under the fringe. If live lice are found treat the child’s hair with a head lice treatment. Consult your pharmacist for advice on the best product for your individual child, especially if they have asthma or allergies.

The next lunar eclipse is in your sign - on Monday 28th. Until then you may need to deal with rather more ‘unexpected’ news than is normal. Recall that we are between eclipses - a period when many people change direction. Some news is likely to be very exciting - and might even pave the way for you to pursue new pathways after the lunar eclipse. You could reach new and surprising understanding by the Equinox - most likely an alliance that really will go places. It’s very likely that a certain person sees potential in your contribution to a project and as a result wants you to feel supported as you move into a new sphere. True, there may be some matters to iron out before next Monday’s lunar eclipseFrom then cash flow could be fast and furious for many. It’s the Equinox this week: this time coinciding with positive aspects involving Saturn (now moving through your opposite sign). It’s entirely possible that someone whom you feel has been downright unhelpful for the last couple of years will prove their worth - and in a delightfully unexpected way. Recall that we are now between eclipses when it’s not at all unusual for habits to be broken. The Equinox (23rd) always brings a change of pace. This one though could be of above average intensity as it comes between two eclipses with the coming lunar eclipse (next Monday 28th) in another of the Cardinal signs. It seems likely you’re coming to the end of a chapter - and might have already have opened the new one. We are all still between eclipses when many people may be changing direction - especially around the Equinox (23rd). It’s likely to be imperative that you think on your feet quickly if you’re to take advantage of an opportunity. It may be that that window will close around next Monday’s (28th) lunar eclipse. It’s likely too that a group (yet to become a team) hope that you’ll join them. Last week’s solar eclipse was in your sign and signalled a fresh start. That might not yet be obvious. Indeed, it could be next May before you’re aware of being on a new path: as though you’d been chatting to fellow passengers and hadn’t realised that the bus had left the stop. At so many levels this appears to be‘getting to know you time’.

Your birthday period (starting with Wednesday’s Equinox) could bring with it an exciting alliance. Of course you may feel this coming some days before hand. You might also know that in throwing yourself into this union, you won’t have the same energy available for another. This could bring a natural parting of the ways around next Monday’s lunar eclipse. Saturn may have moved out of your sign but it could take some time yet to get used to new energy. In this curious period between eclipses it may be that a problem-solver arrives on the scene. Though initially you might be unsure of their talents and potential contribution, it’s probable that this is someone you have to get along with - if only to show a team that you can embrace change and fresh ideas. It’s been three decades since Saturn was last in your sign. You may still be adjusting to new conditions. With the coming lunar eclipse (Monday 28th) in another of the Fire signs, it may be that an ending or clearing up operation is on-going. By Wednesday’s Equinox it should be obvious that a new chapter has opened: most likely requiring you to engage with someone younger who appreciates your expertise.

You may be aware that we are between eclipses with a powerful lunar eclipse due next Monday 28th. You probably already know that nothing can ever be quite the same again and that shifts in your working pattern - and within the family, require a fresh approach. It may be that a Virgo colleague’s plans affect your own. It’s the Equinox on Wednesday: this year coinciding with strong aspects involving the two planets to which you seem most sensitive (Saturn and Uranus). As the Sun is moving into another of the Air signs, - and bearing in mind that we are between eclipses when habits are easier to break and when it’s easier to tune in to new trends - it may be that you come up with ideas that are dramatic yet realistic. It’s likely to be after next Monday’s lunar eclipse (28th) before you feel more settled. Even then the cosmos may have more challenges to throw your way. Yet there could be relatively good news around Wednesday’s Equinox when, and thanks to the expertise of someone who really does care about the outcome of a situation, you could be set on a different path.

Fitness counts Want to track the steps you take throughout your day, even when you’re not working out? Garmin’s Forerunner 15 counts your steps and the calories you burn all day. Garmin Forerunner 15 Activity Tracker, €169.99, Harvey Norman

,W¶V IDVKLRQDEOH WR EH ILW ODGLHV DQG JHQWV Water sports Exercise is no longer something that people dread to mention let alone participate in. Instead it has become truly fashionable to be fit; with crazes such as CrossFit, Spinning and outdoor challenges such as marathons and triathlons. THERE is no doubt health and fitness is on the rise in Ireland. It is becoming very competitive and if you are not fit these days, or making some sort of an effort, then you’ve been living under a rock! Recent research shows more and more women are turning to protein and health supplements to complement their work in the gym. I know my social media newsfeeds are filled up with morning shakes, post-exercise smoothies and mouthwatering protein pancakes,

with brands like Educo Gym and lots lots more. There is no doubt that the success of Protein World is fueled by the celebrity endorsers supporting the brand with people everywhere aspiring to replicate the envied bodies of Michele Keegan, Made in Chelsea star Louise Thompson, Mario Falcone and Holly Hagan. While I am all for women exercising and eating well to obtain a healthy body and a happy mind-set, I do wonder whether the reasons behind it are in fact health focused or

fueled by aesthetics? Either way, I am all for healthy body, healthy mind. However, there are people who take it to the extreme and go too skinny and obsessed. I have recently taken up a 12-Day Fitness Bootcamp with Caroline Whelan of Educo Gym in Waterford City where I have embarked on a journey to shed a few lbs and lean up. I know a lot of people are unsure about the Science of Educo Gym but I can assure you I have done my

research and it seems pretty impressive. Follow my journey online and also in next week’s edition where I will give you a truthful opinion of what is really involved in Educo Gym and whether or not it does what it says on the tin. Most importantly whether its worth your hard earned cash. I for one am fed of all the lies and traps about Juice Diets, Tea Diets, Cabbage Diets, Shakes Diets and all the other money racketing schemes. Lolly will reveal all. Watch this Space

DVD of the week

Avengers: Age of Ultron In an attempt to bring peace to the world Tony Stark aka Iron Man (Downey Jr) creates Ultron (voice of James Spader), a robot with artificial intelligence. However, instead of protecting humans, Ultron believes the only way to restore peace to Earth is to eliminate its citizens. The Avengers - Iron Man, Thor (Hemsworth), the Hulk (Ruffalo), Captain America (Evans), Black Widow (Johansson) and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) - team up once again to save the day, but can they defeat Ultron before he obliterates the human race?

Album of the week

Motivation Weight Management

Paper Gods: Duran Duran

Unlike other programmes, Motivation helps you to tackle your unwanted weight by identifying and addressing the habits, emotions and behaviours that are the root causes of your overeating and other unhealthy behaviours. In this way you can reach your desired weight and, more importantly, maintain it for life. Developed by world-renowned expert Dr. Maurice Larocque, the Programme is based on the latest scientific findings by the world’s leading weight management experts and is the result of over 40 years of research and clinical practice in the fields of nutrition, weight loss and weight maintenance. Visit: motivation.ie

How many bands can you think of that, decades into their career, are still capable of springing surprises, of blazing fresh trails, creating new music that is up there with the imperishable songs that first propelled them to fame, fortune and critical acclaim? As part of a major new recording deal with Warner Bros. Records, Paper Gods starts the next chapter in the history of the band, with a host of A-list collaborators - including Nile Rodgers, Mark Ronson, Mr Hudson, Janelle Monáe, John Frusciante, Kiesza and Davide Rossi - joining the party.

Book of the week

The Girl in the Spider’s Web by David Lagercrantz She is the girl with the dragon tattoo. Lisbeth Salander He is a campaigning journalist, Mikael Blomkvist. A superhacker has gained access to critical, top secret U.S. intelligence. Blomkvist knows only one person who could crack the best security systems in the world. Salande is accused of acting without reason, taking risks just because she can, but though they have lost touch, Blomkvist knows Lisbeth better than that. There must be something deeper at the heart of this - maybe even the scoop that Millennium magazine so desperately needs for its survival.

Movie of the week

Legend Ronnie and Reggie Kray were identical twin gangsters whose exploits became a criminal ‘Legend’, and controlled the organised crime scene in London during the 1960s. Starting out by owning nightclubs, they eventually became celebrities in their own right. Ronnie, unfortunately, was an unbalanced paranoid schizophrenic who was very prone to violence, and with Americans keen to invest in the Krays’ businesses, Reggie had to try and keep him under control. Starring Tom Hardy (‘Mad Max: Fury Road’) in a double performance as both twins, ‘Legend’ is a thrilling gangster drama directed by Brian Helgeland.

10

App of the week

Ninja Snap (Android) The Ninja Snap app’s sole purpose is to trick your friends. Specifically that one friend who likes to go through your pictures in a frenzy after only being invited to see one image. If you create a prank album before giving the phone to that friend, after a few swipes, the phone’s front facing camera will snap a picture of them. Those pictures are then inserted into the album as they swipe. If nothing else, this one is good for a laugh. (free)
