Day trip l Skellig Michael is out of this world A LONG time ago, before Skellig Michael welcomed Star Wars, dedicated monks made this remote island their sanctuary Star Wars: The Force Awakens sent the global box-office into hyperdrive after the cast and crew jetted into a little town called Portmagee, County Kerry, to capture some stunning footage at the dream ďŹ lming location of Skellig Michael - a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Rising from the Atlantic, one of the highlights of Irelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wild Atlantic Way, Skellig Michael has attracted both admirers and those seeking solitude for centuries. It was on this jagged

rock that 6th century monks carved hundreds of stone steps to the summit, where they established an isolated monastery. Skellig Michael â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and neighbouring Little Skellig â&#x20AC;&#x201C; have featured in ancient Irish legends and were even visited by Vikings. But it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until 2014 that these remote peaks welcomed their strangest visitor yetâ&#x20AC;Ś one of the biggest moviemaking phenomena in history. If you fancy chanelling a bit of the force on Irelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wild Atlantic Way, the Skelling Ring Drive makes a great detour off the Ring of Kerry. The Ring of Kerry traces the

coastline of the Iveragh Peninsula. The combination of ocean, islands, mountains, towns and villages makes it a diverse journey of discovery. Pay a visit to the Kerry Bog Village Museum, visit the Kells Bay Gardens, and stop at the Old Barracks Heritage Centre in Cahersiveen. From Portmagee, travel by boat or drive across Valentia Bridge to Valentia Island. Visit the Skellig Experience Visitor Centre, which features exhibitions on the unique wildlife and archaeology of the Skellig Islands. Continue on to the Signature Point Skellig View, at the southern tip of Valentia Island,

for an enjoyable two-kilometre stroll and stunning cliff-top views of Skellig Michael, the Blasket Islands and Dingle Peninsula. Continue on to the Blue Flag beach in Ballinskelligs, a Gaeltacht village, then stroll through picturesque Waterville.

Á Î Ë É ½ Î ³ × Ê Å × Î Á É ²ÑÉ Tramore

Nestled in the Sunny Southeast of Ireland is the seaside town of Tramore. Just 15 minutes drive from Waterford City by car and with a regular bus service, Tramore is a great holiday option. Whether it’s just a short weekend get-away or a family holiday, Tramore can provide all you need for a memorable stay; from top-rated accommodation to fine dining and a vibrant night-life. Besides the obvious attraction of the beach, Tramore offers much, much, more for those with kids. For those who look to experience some of Ireland’s breathtaking scenery, Tramore sits right in the middle of the Southeast Coastal Drive. During your visit to Tramore why not sample some of Ireland’s history by travelling the Dolmen Drive.

If the tide is in, you can still walk along the wide prom that flanks about a mile of this gorgeous beach. Across the road there are plenty of stalls, a couple of shops, a surf school, coffee shop etc. At the top of the prom you’ll find plenty of great amusement arcades, chip shops, and good hotels. Tramore is a day out for the entire family at any time of the year. There’s a regular bus service that you can pick up at the bus station on the Quay. Directions: Drive through the Waterford City heading in the Cork direction. When you get to the fork in the road at the start of the main Cork road, take the left and continue straight along that road for seven miles to Tramore. It’s clearly sign posted.

Curves

In the Heart of the Sea

Located on Friary Street, Kilkenny, 45 of the lovely new members at Curves were due to be weighed and measured last week, this is how they did: Total weight loss: 138lbs Total inches lost: 197â&#x20AC;? Average loss per person: 3.3lb and 4.4 inches All that at the same times as firming and toning! You go girls! All thanks to their hard work and strength training at Curves.

In 1820, crewmen (Chris Hemsworth, Benjamin Walker, Cillian Murphy) aboard a New England vessel face a harrowing battle for survival when a whale of mammoth size and strength attacks with force, crippling their ship and leaving them adrift in the ocean. Pushed to their limits and facing storms, starvation, panic and despair, the survivors must resort to the unthinkable to stay alive. Their incredible tale ultimately inspires author Herman Melville to write Moby-Dick.

Store of the week

2 Goods

Goods is Kilkennyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading ladies fashion store with an extensive range of brands all under one roof. The store, on High Street, focuses on fashion, lingerie, cosmetics & footwear for stylish women of all ages. Their Benetton range also caters for children up to 12 years of age. Goodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s award winning lingerie department is second to none. They offer a free fitting service and they are the only HSE approved shop in the South East catering to women who have had breast cancer surgery.

Service of the week

Album of the week

Another One, by Mac Demarco Mac DeMarcoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mini-LP, which features some of his prettiest material to date, is like a novella, or a made-for-TV movieâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; something to chew on while we wait for the next major project. If you like DeMarco, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll like Another One. It riffs on his established formula: the same rinky-dink guitar tone, funky basslines and air-tight percussion. There are four slow songs and three songs that are a little less slow but still plenty relaxed, all of them filled with little details to catch your ear.

Game of the week

Erin Cabs

Kirby: Planet Robobot

Erin Cabs is Carlowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only Freephone Taxi Company. They provide a 24 hour, 7 days a week taxi service around Carlow and beyond. There are a range of taxis available from four-seater saloons to eight-seater wheelchair accessible vehicles. They are also able to provide baby seats. If you are travelling to or from the airport, ferry ports, sightseeing, doctors or hospital visits, Erin Cabs will provide a good reliable service.

Kirby: Planet Robobot is another installment in the long-running Kirby series. Another peaceful day in Dream Land has been interrupted yet again by the invasion of the Haltmann Works Company, an army of technologically advanced aliens that seek to mechanize Kirbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home. As usual, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to our heroic pink puffball to set things right. Gameplay remains similar to previous installments, with the addition of Robobot Armor which Kirby can use to tear through obstacles and enemies.

Hotel of the week

Step House Hotel Behind the original Georgian features of the Step House Hotel are 20 luxurious bedrooms, designed in a sweeping curve to create panoramic views of rolling countryside as it rises to meet Mount Leinster. Step inside and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find Irish art, elegant furniture, free internet access, fantastic dining options and a great nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sleep. Open the French doors onto your terrace, and begin your day by breathing in the unspoilt countryside of Borris, Carlow - a beautiful, untouched town full of charm and heritage. Visit stephousehotel.ie

Book of the week

So youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been Publicly Shamed, by Jon Ronson An exploration of one of our worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most underappreciated forces: shame. Jon Ronson has met a number of recipients of high-profile public shamings. People who made a bad joke on social media or made a mistake at work. The next thing they know theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re being torn apart and demonized by an angry mob.This book is full of eye-opening truths about the war on human flaws and the part we all play in it.

Movie of the week

Neighbours 2: Sorority Rising Life is good for Mac Radner (Seth Rogen) and pregnant wife Kelly (Rose Byrne) until the unruly sisters of Kappa Nu move in next door. As the loud parties threaten the sale of their home, the couple turn to ex-neighbor and one-time enemy Teddy Sanders (Zac Efron) for help. Now united with the former college student, the trio devise schemes to get the sorority off the block. But these young women refuse to go down without a fight

App of the week

Inks Bafta award-winning State of Play have created a new game that combines paintball with pinball. The game appears as a pinball machine and plays out in the same way â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you keep the pinball in play with the flippers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one key difference. Every time the pinball hits a pad in the game board it creates an explosion of colour that blends across the screen like a painting. The game is out exclusively on iOS.

Your sign is said to be ruled by the planet Mars. What this means is that you seem particularly sensitive to Mars position in the sky and the angles it makes to other planets. At the end of this week, and almost coinciding with the Full Moon on Saturday, Mars opposes the Sun. As you might imagine, this could result in a flare-up of energy. On the positive side, this would be helpful for any kind of competitive sport. The Full Moon at the end of this week coincides with an opposition between the Sun and Mars. It’s entirely possible that you will experience some kind of hiatus is this working week draws to conclusion. A strong possibility is that a joint financial matter will require quick attention. It’s perhaps not necessarily the case that costs will have soared, but perhaps more likely that further discounts can be obtained if you act quickly. At the end of what promises to be yet another extremely busy week, the Sun (moving through your sign) opposes Mars within hours of a Full Moon again across the GeminiSagittarius axis. This then promises to be an important time. True, you may feel that you are now in direct conflict with someone who appears determined to clip your wings. The Full Moon at the end of this week, coincides with the Sun’s opposition to Mars. Both events highlight working conditions and, quite probably, a break-in usual routine. Allying with those who share your career objectives should not be difficult during the first half of the week. True, you could feel displaced and anxious about domestic conditions and how others are coping. Next Saturday’s Full Moon is followed by Mercury’s station at the very apex of your solar chart.These events, coupled with the Sun’s opposition to Mars, suggest a few days of high excitement for all signs but for you, potentially marks a fresh career phase. It’s entirely possible that this will have some kind of legal, international or higher educational element to it. Next weekend there is an important Full Moon accenting the backbone of your solar chart.This coincides with the Sun and Mars reaching their opposition: again accenting this same axis. Add to this Mercury’s station in another of the Earth signs and the combination suggests a major turning point. Property matters will surely have much attention as might career opportunities.

Though it’s entirely possible that you’ve been preparing for a challenge, you may yet be taken by surprise by events mid-week. Time could pass quickly but tasks still be accomplished. Involvement with those considerably younger, and perhaps or assisting someone to draft an important letter, could make significant difference to your week. It would be unsurprising if by the end of this week, you felt you had reached a crossroads. That might in part be due to the fact that the Sun and Mars (one of your ruling planets) are in opposition to one another and with the Full Moon and Mercury’s arrival at a station. Next weekend is likely to be important for all signs. In your case, you could reach an ethical or financial crisis

Coinciding with Saturday’s Full Moon in your sign, the Sun opposes Mars - also moving through your sign. Within hours, Mercury arrives at a key station. All this suggests the potential conclusion of a situation whose roots go back approximately 18 months. Whilst initially pleased that a settlement has been negotiated, the full implications might not be apparent until closer to the end of the month. There is much to suggest that significant developments on the home front will require particular attention - possibly property repair connected. This may be no bad thing of course and could be linked to improvements that have been planned for some time. Less wholesome and more difficult to negotiate, could be the days leading into Saturday’s Full Moon. Whilst not wishing to be negative, the Full Moon next weekend coinciding as it does with the Sun’s opposition to Mars, together with Mercury’s station at the base of your solar chart suggests a degree of turmoil. Of course this could play out productively offering nearperfect conditions for a major clear out. In partnership, and possibly thanks to the support and assistance of those born under the sign of Taurus, you could achieve much. This will surely require considerable moving around and perhaps many short journeys. The fact that there is so much action, and that you are required to multitask should be pleasing. The cosmic weather is set to change as of Thursday however.
