Let’s All Get In The Frame To Create History

IT’S TIME to get snap happy in Kerry. To mark the centenary of the Easter Rising 1916, Muckross House Research Library, is inviting everyone to help create a photographic record of Kerry on Saturday, April 23, and Sunday, April 24. The creative project will also raise funds for hugely deserving local charities, Kerry Life Skills, Kerry Diocesan Youth Service, Kerry Stars Special Olympic Club and Kerry Cancer Support Group. “The photograph should reflect an aspect of Kerry life or play,” said Patricia O’Hare of Muckross

House Research Library. “The first step is to take a photo on the weekend of April 23-24 and upload your image to www. snapciarrai.ie. You can then vote for one of these four charities: Kerry Life Skills, Kerry Diocesan Youth Service, Kerry Stars Special Olympic Club and Kerry Cancer Support Group. Each charity is guaranteed to receive a minimum of €2,016.” The website will show everyday life in County, Kerry street scenes, Kerry at work and at play, historical Kerry, and the county’s natural world.

Launching Snap Chiarrai are Denis Reidy, manager, Muckross House, Jay Galvin, Kerry Cancer Support Group, Denis Murphy, Kerry Stars, Paul O’Sullivan, Kerry Stars, Sheila Casey, Kerry Life Skills, Patricia O’Hare, Muckross House archivist, Audrey Reidy, Kerry Cancer Support, Tim O’Donoghue, Kerry Diocesan Youth Service, Jane Curran, Kerry Stars, and Chris Barron, Kerry Life Skills.

Little Green Cars Rev Up For Killarney Performance DUBLIN quintet Little Green Cars has been announced to headline Folkfest Killarney on July 8. Little Green Cars were still in their teens when they were spotted and signed to Glassnote and recorded their widely acclaimed 2013 debut Absolute Zero with producer Markus Dravs. That album changed their lives, taking the five former school friends on tour everywhere from Europe and Australia to Russia and the States, which they criss-crossed six times in three years. The US portion of the 2013 tour included a live performance of their single Harper Lee on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon Now all in their early 20s, Little Green Cars are both a different band and the same five

friends who met every Sunday aged 15 in singer Stevie Appleby’s garden shed to start writing songs. As with any five-piece band their style is made up of varying musical tastes, with a blend of folk and an alternative style which is similar to Mumford and Sons. Other acts confirmed for the 2016 Folkfest Killarney include Christy Moore, The Waterboys, Damien Dempsey, Colm Mac Con Iomaire, Iarla O Lionaird, We Banjo 3, Maria Doyle Kennedy, Mike McGoldrick Big Band and more acts to be announced. Tickets are on sale now via www.ticketmaster.ie, www.folkfestkillarney.com or INEC Box office on 064-6671555.

Editor’s View Snowmen and sun lotion compete for our attention QUEUING at the supermarket checkout on a sun-soaked Monday evening, I noticed how the cashier, like pretty much everyone that day, could not avoid a few quips about the weather. Seeing as Sunday’s snow had been succeeded by Monday’s soaring temperatures and sunshine, it was the topic on everyone’s lips when it came to smalltalk at the start of the week. The cashier and the man ahead of me had a swift incisive discussion about how it’s all down to global warming. “Put it this way, I’ve never in my lifetime seen snow in April,” was the customer’s parting shot as he grabbed his bag of groceries and bustled out the door into the dazzlingly bright and balmy evening. Saturday was rainsodden and to open the cur-

tains on Sunday morning to a Christmas card-vista as snow tumbled playfully to the ground outside was at first a little magical (on higher grounds the snow actually stuck around!). But as day wore on the snow became rain and sleet and the leaden skies and sharp easterly winds gave everyone the feeling that spring had sprung back into its shell and to paraphrase the Game of Thrones opener, that winter was coming – back. Last year New Zealand weather guru Ken Ring predicted that Ireland would experience snow around mid-April, and that our last “snow day” could be as late as May! Daffodils may be heralding that the new season is here, but snowmen on Ladies View are hitting home the global warming message of unsettled weather patterns. I suppose it shouldn’t come as a surprise seeing as the Latin

name for Ireland, Hibernia, reflects the ancient Romans’ take on our wintry climate. EVE KELLIHER, EDITOR A snowman gazes over Ladies View on Sunday. PICTURE: DON MacMONAGLE

Kerry Tourism Businesses Are Perfectly Pitched A NUMBER of Killarney representatives were among the tourism businesses from across the county that attended Fáilte Ireland’s largest trade fair this week. Meitheal, which was held in Dublin in conjunction with Fáilte Ireland’s sister agency Tourism Ireland, brought over 310 overseas buyers into the country to meet with 455 Irish tourism businesses, for two days of pitching and deal-making. An annual event, last year’s Meitheal resulted in over 2,650 new business contracts being signed, including almost 900 contracts with international operators who had never programmed Ireland before. At this year’s event, there were up to 40 tour operators in attendance who have not previously had Ireland on their

Killarney Advertiser 15.04.16

books – predominantly from China, India, the Gulf States and South Africa. Fáilte Ireland’s CEO, Shaun Quinn said: “By bringing both overseas and Irish operators together eyeball to eyeball, we managed to generate deals and contracts which will ensure significant additional tourism activity next year – including in County Kerry.” In the run up to Meitheal, Fáilte Ireland also published its annual Visitor Attitudes Survey which shows that overseas holidaymakers to Ireland last year continued to rate the country as good value for money and that the country matched or exceeded their expectations as a holiday destination.

Muckross Schoolhouse To Host ‘After Sarah Miles’ THEATREGOERS will flock to The Schoolhouse at Muckross Traditional Farms on Thursday, April 28, as it hosts the acclaimed production After Sarah Miles. Written and performed by Michael Hilliard Mulcahy, the drama is directed by Andrea Scott. Hailed as a touching piece of quality Irish theatre, this one-man show is one of the best recent examples of contemporary Irish theatre pieces that balance the traditional with the modern. After Sarah Miles premiered at the Viking Theatre in 2013 and was hailed by Sunday Independent theatre critic Emer O’Kelly as “a lilting wonder…pure art perfection”. After Sarah Miles is Castlegregory native Michael Hilliard Mulcahy’s fourth play. In the play, Bobeen wrestles with the harsh tides that an Irish fisherman must endure and while he finds it hard to face the sea now, what he discovered in the mouth of the bay almost 30 years ago keeps calling him there and to the waters beyond it. This time it will connect him to what he thought was lost and gone forever. The play commences at 8pm on April 28 in the Schoolhouse. Admission is €12 and there will be a post-show talk and tea.

Question What can I do if I have a problem with an item I’ve bought online? Answer If you are not happy with an item you’ve bought online, you should always contact the trader first to make your complaint. If you are not satisfied with their response, you may be able to get help. If your complaint is against a trader here in Ireland, you can contact the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission for advice. If the trader is in another EU member state, you can contact the European Consumer Centre Ireland (ECC Ireland). The ECC may contact the trader and try to resolve your dispute. If this is not successful, ECC Ireland will forward your case to an alternative dispute resolution organisation in the other country. You can also use the new Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform. The online ODR platform is operated by the European Commission for consumers living in the EU. It aims to help consumers and traders settle online disputes without the need to go to court. You use the platform to find a neutral third party (called dispute resolution body) to handle your dispute. You don’t have to pay when you submit a complaint using the ODR platform. However, a dispute resolution body may ask you to pay a fee if it agrees to handle your case. When a dispute resolution body agrees to handle your case they'll tell you what the rules are, including how much you have to pay. The outcome can depend on the type of dispute resolution body and their rules and procedures. Some decisions may not be binding on the trader. If you disagree with the outcome you might be able to appeal the outcome or take your case to court. Sometimes there may be nothing more you can do. Further information is available from the Citizens Information Centre below.

Inmo Conference Is Killarney Bound THE Killarney branch of the Irish Nurses & Midwives Organization (INMO) will welcome over 350 delegates to Killarney on May 4-6 for its 97th annual delegate conference.

This year’s conference will take place in the Killarney Convention Centre at The Gleneagle and its theme is Registered Nurses & Midwives Making the Difference – Professionals in Action. “There are almost 70 motions up for debate and a new president and officers will be elected on the final say of conference,” said Kerry delegate and Killarney native Sheila Dickson.

Fashion Pack To Hit The Catwalk DEDICATED followers of fashion will be hotfooting it to Killarney before the month is out, thanks to Killarney Legion GAA Club. Make sure you mark Thursday, April 28, in your diary as it will see leading Irish designers and boutiques unveil their latest collections at a style extravaganza in The Malton Hotel. Speaking at the launch of the event in Killarney House & Gardens, Killarney Legion GAA Club chairman Enda Walshe said: “Last year's show, which attracted close to 600 people, was a great night for fashion lovers and this year promises to be even better.” Norma O’Donoghue of the Norma O’Donoghue Model Agency added: “The line-up is a who's who of top Irish designers while the country's top boutiques will also be showcasing what's hot for summer 2016.” Norma and her team will host the evening.

Pulling the strings on the night will be Radio Kerry's Alan Finn, joined by celebrity style guru Noel Cunningham. “Noel gladly mingled with the audience at the inaugural event last year, and his wit and charm wooed all in attendance,” added Norma. The best-dressed lady award is sponsored by Keanes Jewellers. The event will commence with a wine reception. Tickets, €25, can be booked from The Malton Hotel, Kerry's Boutique, Sewell’s Pharmacy and Keanes Jewellers.

Call for permanent sound system THE provision of a permanent sound system for Killarney would be invaluable to the town, according to Councillor Michael Gleeson. Cllr Gleeson has urged the council, and all interested parties, to progress the provision of such a facility saying it would be particularly useful for festivals and celebrations. The council replied the tourism unit of the council in co-operation with the Killarney Municipal District is liaising with Killarney Chamber of Tourism & Commerce in an effort to secure funding for a permanent sound system for the town. Councillor Gleeson welcomed the positive response, saying: “Every possible effort should be made to maximise the tourism potential of the area and that this system would greatly enhance the area.”

Making The French Connection THREE Irish tourism companies, including Killarney Hotels, travelled to France recently, to attend Salon Réunir International, a trade show for the MICE and business travel sector which took place at the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris. The two-day event (formerly known as Meedex International) gave the participating tourism companies an excellent opportunity to meet, and do business with, more

than 2,000 of France’s most influential corporate meeting and event planners – through a series of workshops, seminars, networking events and at the ‘Meet in Ireland’ stand. Meet in Ireland is the official MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences and events) brand for the island of Ireland, which comprises three tourism authorities, Fáilte Ireland, Tourism Ireland and Tourism Northern Ireland.

Fourteen Of Dáil's Independent TDS Pulled Out Of Government Talks A GROUP of 14 Independent TDs agreed to abstain from yesterday’s vote for Taoiseach in what has been dubbed the ‘Ag House Agreement’. The 14 deputies include the Independent Alliance, the so-called ‘Rural Five’, the brothers Michael and Danny Healy-Rae and Maureen O’Sullivan. The decision to unite came following a meeting of the Independents in Agriculture House close to the Dáil. It became clear that a Fine Gaelled minority government or another general election are the most likely outcomes. The Independents who made the agreement to abstain yesterday afternoon released a statement as well as a copy of the signed document. "The fourteen undersigned Independent TDs have agreed to abstain on the votes for the two main parties for the position of An

Taoiseach today. "We are stepping back from the talks on the formation of a new government with both parties until they agree a reciprocal agreement that they will give mutual support to each other, in the event of either party leader becoming Taoiseach in a minority government. "We require that they agree to a minimum of three Budgets in order to give stability to the Irish people. We are offering to facilitate both parties in this task in any way that will hasten the formation of a government," the statement concluded. It is signed by Kerry Independents Michael and Danny Healy-Rae, the members of the Independent Alliance: Shane Ross, Seán Canney, Michael Fitzmaurice, John Halligan, Finian McGrath and Kevin 'Boxer' Moran as well as Dublin Central Independent Maureen O'Sullivan. The 'Rural Five' group of Denis

Deputies Michael and Danny Healy-Rae.

Naughton, Michael Collins, Noel Grealish, Dr Michael Harty and Mattie McGrath also signed. Meanwhile, the Dáil failed for the third time to elect a Taoiseach. Following the vote, Taoiseach Enda Kenny invited Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin to authorise his party's negotiating team to

Specsavers Killarney To Reach New Heights TOMORROW, Saturday, April 16, sees Specsavers Killarney’s fundraising activities reach new heights as staff participate in a stair climber challenge to raise much-needed funds for Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, Crumlin. As part of the newly launched ‘Climb for Crumlin’ campaign, Specsavers staff member Tony Power will embark on the epic journey of climbing to Mount Everest Base Camp and employees and customers across the country will go the distance on stair climber machines. Customers in Killarney are invited to drop in to their local store on Saturday, April 16, and show their support by taking part in the climb or making a donation to the worthy cause. Alternatively, customers can purchase and complete their very own wish card which will be delivered to the monks at Everest Base Camp. Wish cards cost €1 and Specsavers will match every €1 raised from these cards, with all funds going to Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, Crumlin. Thomas Doyle, director of Specsavers Killarney, said, “It is clear that Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, Crumlin, has touched the lives of many Irish families and 14 children from Kerry were admitted to the hospital daily in 2014. We’re delighted to extend our commitment to the refurbishment of the hospital’s ophthalmology unit which provides treatment and care to the thousands of children who are affected by vision conditions.”

Family Fun Weekend In Aid Of Down Syndrome Kerry ALL are welcome to a family fun weekend taking place tomorrow, April 16, and Sunday, April 17, in aid of Down Syndrome Kerry. The programme will unfold from 12 noon to 5.30pm at Ballyseedy Home & Garden. Attractions on offer will include music, a barbecue, bouncy castles and giant games. You are also invited to dress up and bring along your teddy for the teddy bears’ picnic each day at 2pm, admission €2 per child. The event is being held in conjunction with the Tour De Munster, a four-day charity cycle covering 600km. “It cycles through all the six counties of Munster over these four days and its aim is to raise as much money for the six branches of DSI in Munster as is possible in order to provide vital services to our members to make up for the lack of what is provided by the Government,” said Debbie Dillon of Down Syndrome Kerry. A Tour De Munster partnership spin will take place tomorrow, Saturday, in which cyclists from Munster who are in training for the big event come together for a 60-100km cycle. “This is also incorporated into a fun weekend for all the public and our members who come out to support the cyclists when they leave Ballyseedy at 10am and welcome them back on their return, at around 3.30/4pm,” said Debbie. “This partnership was held last year in Ballyseedy and due to its success it has remained there this year. It was held in Cork the previous year.” The Tour De Munster will take place in August and will feature renowned cyclists Sean Kelly who has taken part in the tour for the last number of years.

Killarney To Help Anthony In Battle Against Lyme Disease KILLARNEY man Anthony Morris has spoken of how moved he has been by the offers of help he has received as he battles chronic Lyme disease. A once very strong, fit and active man, the former Kerry footballer is now a shadow of his former self. Having been ill for the past eight years, Anthony is in constant pain and suffers from neurological symptoms. Doctors and Germany and the United States just recently confirmed the diagnosis of chronic Lyme disease. “For the first time Anthony has a treatment option that will significantly improve his quality of life,” said his brother Jim. “He is in constant pain and constantly tired with fatigue. It is now attacking his brain, his spinal fluid, his nervous system, his heart and his liver.” On May 10, Anthony will start his journey to Washington DC to begin his treatment in the USA. "I have been deeply moved and humbled by the overwhelming support and offers of help from friends and strangers alike, not only in Killarney but all around the county. Their encouragement and best wishes are greatly appreciated during this most difficult period of my life. I would sincerely like to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart,” said Anthony. A coffee morning to support him will take place on Friday, April 29, in the Flesk Restaurant from 10am until 12.30pm. The coffee morning is being organised by the Morris Family, The Flesk Restaurant and members of Spa GAA club. “The Morris family look forward to welcoming you on the day for what is sure to be a morning of great food, music and with a host of spot prizes to be won. All donations will go straight to helping Anthony on his long journey ahead,” said Jim. In addition, a benefit dance will also take place on May 7 in the Manor Inn in Killorglin; contact family members for tickets.

Rose Hotel Blossoms In Tralee The Rose Hotel was launched by owners Dick and Eibhlin Henggeler. PICTURE: DOMNICK WALSH

THE ROSE HOTEL opened its doors this week, marking a poignant occasion for its owners, Killarney native Eibhlin Henggeler and her husband Dick Henggeler. The couple have built on the initial investment of purchasing Fels Point Hotel last June, and have unveiled what can only be described as a complete transformation of the 165 bedroom hotel. Eibhlin and Dick are the parents of the late Dorothy, the 2011 Washington DC Rose who sadly passed away two years ago. The hotel includes Dott’s Bar, where you can relax with Irish whiskey, a cocktail or relaxing meal from the new menu created by executive head chef Odran Lucey. “Dott was so full of life and laughs like so many of our Irish friends and family and she would have absolutely loved The Rose Hotel and especially this bar,” said Eibhlin. The new gourmet restaurant is named The Rose Room.

The hotel’s function room, The Lee Suite, was renovated before Christmas and already has enjoyed huge local support and interest from the local community in terms of parties, dinner dances and weddings. The hotel employs 100 staff and from January-March 75 people from local companies were employed during the refurbishment programme. “This has been an incredible journey and one that Eibhlin and I have thoroughly enjoyed and we are now looking to the future and delighted to cement our long term commitment to Tralee, The Rose of Tralee International Festival and The Dome development,” said Dick Henggeler. “The Rose of Tralee Festival had a huge impact on Dorothy and us – we now have a much larger family because of it. We also like to thank Anthony O’Gara and The Rose of Tralee Team and our incredible team at The Rose Hotel and everyone involved in this refurbishment.”

Singing Friar To Take Centre Stage In Killarney THE celebrated Italian tenor Friar Alessandro, best known as the Singing Friar from Assisi, will be striking a chord with music fans in Killarney this weekend. Friar Alessandro who will take centre stage in St Mary’s Cathedral on Sunday, April 17. The Singing Friar will also perform in Athlone and all profits from the Irish concerts will go directly to the Franciscan Mission in Zimbabwe. Friar Alessandro shot to fame in 2012 on the release of his debut album Voice of Assisi. The album went to number one in the UK Classical Charts and was nominated in the Best Album of the Year Award in the Classic Brit Award 2013. His second album, Joy to the World, was released in 2013, followed by his third album, Voice Of Peace, in 2015. He is also the first religious brother to land an exclusive record contract with a major record label Universal Music. In his visits during 2014 and 2015, Friar Alessandro appeared on the Saturday Night Show twice and performed to thousands of fans in sell-out concerts in Dublin, Cork and Galway. The 34-year-old, a dedicated Franciscan Friar, is signed to Decca Records, part of the Universal Music Group. In keeping with the vow of poverty made by Friar Alessandro, all proceeds from his singing career go straight back to the Franciscan Order’s charitable works. His performance in St Mary’s Cathedral commences at 8pm. Tickets, €10, are available at the door, on Eventbrite.ie or can be purchased in advance from Killarney Cathedral. The supporting musicians at Friar Alessandro's concert will be Marina Cassidy, Killarney, a renowned harpist and singer, accompanied by organist Sr Anne Flanagan, a Mercy Sister from Athlone.

AN EXCITING line-up is on the cards for residents of Muckross as the local community association hosts its night at the dogs on Saturday, May 28. The event takes place at the Kingdom Greyhound Stadium in Tralee in aid of the Muckross Community Centre. “The fundraiser is being organised to defray the debt on a 1,000sq ft extension to the community centre. Since its completion last year, the €145,000 extension is continuously being used by Muckross RC, Muckross Community Youth Club and Muckross Community Play School as well as other groups,” said Liam Kelly, chairman of Muckross Community Association. Liam added that a generous grant of €109,000 was allocated for the centre under the Leader programme with the assistance of South Kerry Development Partnership. “Muckross Community Association took out a loan to pay for the balance and needs to eliminate that €37,000 debt,” he said. Sponsors are needed for the races and people are also needed to nominate dogs. If you feel you can help out in any way, just contact community association chairman Liam Kelly, Loreto Road, or any of the other committee members. “Everyone will be entered for the buster race as part of their €10 entry fee,” said Liam. “There are six dogs in every race. A total of 720 combinations can be derived from those six numbers. These combinations will be printed on the tickets. The lucky person who comes up with the winning formula will be heading home with €250.”

update A ROLLERCOASTER would be the best way to describe the last three months in Scoil Phobail Sliabh Luachra in Rathmore. The senior and junior girls football teams both won Munster finals and then went on to win All-Ireland semi-finals. “To reach two All-Ireland finals seemed hard to believe!” said a spokesperson for the school. Coaching both teams were Conni Vaughan and Kevin Coughlan. In addition, in February, football coach Conni Vaughan, managing to juggle football training with her own training, was selected to represent Ireland in the European Taekwondo Championships in Budapest. Here she won a bronze medal in individual sparring (65kg), a silver medal for team sparring, and a gold medal for team patterns. The senior final came first and despite a great second-half comeback from Rathmore, Gallan Community School proved too strong and came away with the win on the day. The under-16 All-Ireland final was played five days after the senior final giving little time for recovery for players who were involved

with both teams. Scoil Phobail Sliabh Luachra hit six first-half goals on their way to victory over Mercy SS Ballymahon in the U16 All-Ireland Final. The player of the match in both the junior Munster final and the All-Ireland final was Ava Looney. Not to be outdone by their footballing counterparts, the under-19 girls basketball team qualified for the AllIreland qualifiers held in Naas during January. Indeed many of these girls were also members of the senior girls football team. The team qualified for the southwest finals where they defeated a much fancied Crescent College Comprehensive from Limerick. Following this victory, Rathmore hosted the All-Ireland qualifiers in early January. Rathmore defeated both St Mary’s from Mallow and Loreto, St Stephen’s Green. On reaching the All-Ireland quarter-finals, Rathmore won their first game against DLS Bagnelstown but lost out to a stronger team in St Mary’s from Naas by a narrow margin. Coaching this team were Mike McGillicuddy and John Hurley.

From Madrid to Kerry for perfect big day BY EVE KELLIHER A SPANISH holiday set the scene for Paul Donnelly’s proposal to Leonie Casey. Leonie, from Shinnagh, Rathmore, and Paul, from Whitebridge Manor, Killarney, first met in Mustang Sally’s, Killarney, where Paul works, on January 1, 2012. He popped the question three years later, on April 10, 2015, while the couple were visiting Madrid. Leonie, the daughter of Sean Casey and the late Moira Casey, and Paul, the son of Kay Donnelly and the late Jim Donnelly, were married in St Joseph's Church in Rathmore by Fr Pat O'Donnell and held their reception in the Killarney Avenue Hotel. Padraig Healy of Evoque Photography captured the big day on camera, with the newlyweds posing at scenic spots in around Muckross and Killarney town. Leonie’s sister Martina Casey took on bridesmaid duties along with Emma Coffey, Cathy O'Donoghue and Siobhan Gavin. Paul’s brother James Donnelly was best man while his groomsmen were Sean O'Donoghue, Denis Nash and Darragh Donnelly. Emilie Clarke and Clodagh Donnelly enjoyed taking on the role of flower girls. The bride looked stunning in a dress sourced in Memories Bridal Boutique in Cork. The newlyweds, who live in Milltown, honeymooned in in Mexico and Boston as well as enjoying a Caribbean cruise. Leonie works in the reservations department of the O’Donoghue Ring Hotel Group and Paul works in Mustang Sally’s Bar and Nightclub.

On Their Bikes For Charity ŠKODA and Liam Lynch Motors have got in gear to partner with the Ring of Kerry Charity Cycle for fourth consecutive year. The Ring of Kerry Charity Cycle is the largest one-day charity fundraising event in Munster and celebrated its 30th year last year. Taking place on Saturday, July 2, the event welcomes thousands of leisure cyclists from across Ireland as they embark on a 180km journey along the spectacular Ring of Kerry to raise much needed funds for worthy Kerry-based causes. Cyclist, model and food blogger Roz Purcell described the cycle as “a fantastic event, and an important one which raises money for such worthwhile local causes”. Liam Lynch, of Liam Lynch Motors in Farranfore, said: “We are thrilled to partner with the Ring of Kerry Charity Cycle for the fourth consecutive year. The atmosphere on the day is electric. We can’t wait to welcome the 10,000 riders to Kerry for what promises to be a great weekend of fundraising and festivities.” Last year, in excess of €1.85 million was raised for different charities in Kerry.” The designated charities for the 2016 edition are; Derrynane Inshore Rescue, Irish Kidney Association, Pieta House: Suicide and Self Harm Crisis Centre, Recovery Haven Kerry, South West Counselling Services Killarney, St Francis Special School, St Joseph’s Nursing Home in Killorglin, St Ita’s and St Joseph’s Post Primary Special School in Tralee and Talbot Grove. Cathal Walshe, PRO of the Ring of Kerry Charity Cycle, said: “We’ve been working hard preparing for the 2016 edition of the Ring of Kerry Charity Cycle and this year’s event is shaping up to be the best yet. Not alone does this event benefit worthwhile charities at a local level, but bringing 10,000 cyclists and their supporters to the area provides a huge local economic boost.”

How To Reduce Sugar Cravings

Kerry-based Liz Byrne, who established White Feather Nutrition, has no shortage of advice when it comes to helping clients reach their optimal health potential Kerry nutritional therapy

At the presentation of prizes of the Gleneagle Squash Club monthly competition sponsored by The Aquila Club were seated from left, Sean Casey, Eoin Horan, Aquila Club, Eamon O'Donoghue, captain of winning team, Ken Malone and Eamonn Bowler. Back from left are Joe Carroll, Laurence Kelly, Donagh Crowley, Ryan Kavanagh, Bernice Enright, Paul Lynch, Mike O'Donoghue, Mike Crowley and Charlie Coakley. Picture: Eamonn Keogh

MY focus when working with a client is to assist them in reaching their optimal health potential by introducing a bespoke eating routine.' For instance, if you balance sugar levels in your body, you will be in control of your cravings. Avoid the vicious cycle of spiking sugar levels or you will “crash and burn”. 1. Include protein in every meal, in the case of snacks use plant sources e.g. hummus, as it promotes a slow release of energy from carbohydrates.

At the Spa GAA Club All-Ireland homecoming for the St Brendan’s College team were Gary McGrath (manager), David Carroll, Evan Cronin, Evan Cronin and Hugh Rudden.

2. Reduce “fast carbs” I call carbohydrates that convert to sugar in the body quickly 'fast carbs'. Examples include pasta and white breads these will increase your sugar level quickly but set you up for that crash that usually begins around noon after your 11 o'clock break. Try longer lasting carbohydrates such as brown rice or wholegrain brown bread/

oat bread with a lick of hummus and a side of a colourful selection of salad. 4. Ensure you consume between seven to ten portions (your nutritional therapist will recommend an amount suitable for you) of fruit and vegetables in your daily diet. 5. Exercise for 20 minutes or more per day (seek advice on what is suitable for you as everyone has different needs in this respect). By increasing your heart rate your body can deliver all the gorgeous nutrients you are putting in to their different port of calls as well as losing any excess weight if necessary. I also recommend yoga in addition to your cardio workouts. •For more, see www.whitefeathernutrition.org, email whitefeathernutrition@gmail.com or call Liz Byrne on 087-9508252.

Kilcummin Turns Back Time

Participants in the Kilcummin Comhaltas 1916 commemoration.

THE re-enactment of the 1916 Rising and the Comhaltas Easter raffle was held in Kilcummin recently. Children from the three national schools as well as second-level students treaded the boards, displaying huge talent. In particular the transition-year students from the St Brendan's College along with other young people from the parish and St Brigid’s Secondary School students put in a huge effort to bring this event to fruition, bringing history alive to the local community. Local man Conor Doolin opened up the event, giving a very informative presentation that highlighted the Kerry connections in the Easter Rising. Following the re-enactment the large and appreciative audience were treated to a wealth of local talent showcasing their skills in music, singing, poetry, dancing and artwork. “A sincere word of thanks to everyone who organised, participated and supported a very entertaining event and the Comhaltas branch,” said a spokesperson. “Míle buíochas do na daoine go léir agus tá muintir Cill Chuimín an-bhuíoch as an iarracht a dheíneadar.” There will be CDs available on sale of the event for a nominal fee; contact Marie Lehane at 087-9181973 for details.

Irish whiskey making waves across the globe WHEN you see articles in Forbes and Fortune magazine’s comparing the highest-end Scotch and Irish whiskeys to see which is better, as you have in recent months, you know that the Irish offering is making waves on the international level.

Moments in Time

The plush offices of the Liebherr Factory in the 1960s. PICTURE SUPPLIED BY MOMENTS IN TIME

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Tribute To Mick Walsh, RIP IT WAS a moment of great sadness for all of us, friends of Mick Walsh from Fossa, when we heard of his sudden passing on the morning of Palm Sunday, March 20, 2016. Mick was a fixture at every game Fossa played over the past 46 years, knew every player by name, and it was a fitting tribute that such a large number of these, formed the guard of honour at his removal to Fossa Church. Mick was born on a farm at Knockalougha Duagh in April 1927, so he was just a month from his 89th birthday. One of 11, raised on the family farm, Mick emigrated to England in the mid-1940s. While there he played his beloved Gaelic football, and he captained his team to victory over Coventry in 1949. Before emigrating Mick played with Knocknagoshel, the parish of the love of his life Dora O’Connor, where among his teammates was the great Eddie Walsh (no relation),

who remained a friend all his life. Mick, Dora, and three sons Liam Philip and Michael returned to Ireland in the early 1960s where he first worked as a welder at the Mallow Sugar Beet factory. In 1964 he started working at Liebherr Ireland Ltd as a welder, and remained there until his retirement in April 1992. He bought a house and some land from the late Sean O’Connor the artist, and he had lived there since. He regaled us, the young lads of Fossa, with tales of the Kerry team of the 1940s, and stories related to him of the great four in a row team of 1929 to 1932. Who was better Barrett or Keohane, he’d ask, and then he’d answer his own question by quoting his fellow emigrant Brendan Reidy who played in goal behind both of them, “Barrett was the best”. From what he heard Jackie Ryan was the best forward Kerry ever had, and this was the nickname he put on our young David Clifford a number of years ago.

Indeed at the time of his death Mick was looking forward to watching David line out for the Sem in Croke Park in the Hogan Cup final on April 2. His first meeting with his great friend Mick Myers was in Hussey’s bar after the 1968 O’Donoghue Cup Final. “Were you above at the match” Walsh asked. “I was playing in it,” said Myers. “The Crokes beat us.” “The Crokes didn’t beat ye, Tom Long beat ye,” said Walsh. Tom had scored 2-01 that day. As well as football he had many other interests, the gun club, the greyhounds, the politics, and he was a keen follower of horses. He visited Killarney most days where he visited Donie and Liam Sheehan, Donal Culloty and Cathal O’Grady among many others to “hop a few balls”. Ar dheis De go raibh a anam.

Welcome For New Employers In Kenmare I AM glad to welcome the announcement this week of new employers to Kenmare. My lifelong friend, Sean Jones of the Kenmare Innovative Centre, has secured new business for his establishment in Kilmurry, Kenmare. The company Starwood Hotel and Resorts are presently interviewing potential employees and it is envisaged that they will be up and running in early Summer 2016 with an additional workforce of 15 people. This is a most welcome development for Kenmare and the surrounding parishes as these much needed jobs will create a financial spin-off in our town. I extend every good wish to Caroline Cooney-Hurrell, who is the vice-president of customer contact, and all the potential employees and I hope that this business will grow as I expect it will. Sean Jones's forward thinking in having a state of the art premises with all modern technology on site was most important in securing this new employer for Kenmare.

SWEET DREAMS WITH REFLEXOLOGY Reflexology is a gentle therapy that encourages the body to work naturally to restore its own healthy balance, says Jill Duggan of Killarney Toning & Beauty Studio

REFLEXOLOGISTS use a map of the feet where all the organs, glands, and corresponding parts of the body are laid out. The toes reflect the head. The ridge beneath the toes on the top part of the ball of the foot is a natural shoulder or neck line. The ball of the foot reflects the chest. The arch mirrors the digestive organs, and the heel and ankles contain reflexes for the reproductive system. The inside curve of each foot (where we find the spinal reflex) corresponds to the actual curves of the spine. Here’s a 15-minute routine in four easy steps that you can incorporate into your bedtime ritual: Relax the feet, one at a time, with simple relaxation techniques – pressing and squeezing, lightly slapping or gently kneading. On the bottom of each foot, “walk” your thumb up from the base of the heel to each toe (imagine your thumb is a caterpillar inching its way up your foot), then press these reflex points with the outer edge of your thumb or tip of your forefinger.

Touching the top of each toe promotes clarity and positive thinking. The pituitary or “master gland” (center of big toe) stimulates/ balances hormone secretions of all other glands. The pineal gland (outer side of big toe) secretes melatonin which controls our circadian rhythm/sleep cycle. The thyroid (base of big toe) balances metabolism. The neck/shoulders (ridge of toes) releases tension Chest/lungs (ball of foot) calms breathing. The solar plexus/diaphragm (under ball of foot in the center) encourages profound relaxation and peacefulness. Apply the relaxation techniques again, and finish with another thumb press on the solar plexus point on both feet. End with “breeze strokes” — lightly running your fingertips down the tops, bottoms and sides of each foot in a feathery motion.

Dig in for Earth Week

EARTH WEEK in the Diocese of Kerry will take place from this Sunday, April 17, to Sunday, April 24, organised by the Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation committee. The keynote speaker will be Fr Sean McDonagh, Columban missionary and eco theologian, on The Prophetic Challenge of Laudato Si. This talk will take place St Brendan’s Parish Centre, Upper Rock Street, Tralee on Thursday, April 21, at 7.30pm. All are welcome. This year the chosen theme for Earth Week is “Loss of Biodiversity”. This is taken from Pope Francis’ Encyclical or letter called Laudato Si...On Care for our Common Home. The letter is a call or challenge to “every person living on the planet” to care for “common home”. All parishes and parishioners are invited to respond to this call by making their grounds and private gardens more biodiversity rich by protecting and encouraging the variety of plants, trees and habitats for wildlife including bees. A series of meetings have been held around the diocese and a leaflet has been distributed to parishes with some specific advice including a checklist and actions to take, for example, planting herbs, leaving a small area of lawn uncut, protecting a native hedgerow or starting a compost heap. Some parishes are undertaking audits of their grounds to see what they can do to promote biodiversity and have received help for this from the Biodiversity Officer of Kerry County Council assisted by local biodiversity tutors. There are various events taking place during the week. Killorglin has a very busy schedule. Fr McDonagh will launch his new book, On Care for Our Common Home. In this, he reflects on the encyclical’s various themes and covers the development of Catholic theology on creation of the past half-century, and offers ideas on how to transform Pope Francis’ vision in Laudato Si into meaningful action and a central piece of Catholic theology. Earth Week calls individuals and communities to take steps to stem the loss of biodiversity in our gardens, communities and parishes.

TIME FOR TAILGATERS TO BACK OFF FEW things are more annoying when you are behind the wheel than a persistent tailgater. Granted, it can also be irritating to be stuck behind a “Sunday driver” who drives well below the speed limit while hogging the centre line. There are plenty of the dreaded species lurking about the Kerry roads. Inconsiderate driving is one thing, but the sheer aggression factor that goes with some tailgaters can be unnerving for many. Tailgating is downright dangerous and trying to deal with a culprit should you be unlucky enough to encounter one is tricky. The key thing, I guess, is to remain calm and act sensibly. It’s said that there are both “passive” and “aggressive” varieties of this often-spotted species. An aggressive tailgater is the type who clearly means to overtake you and suddenly drives up close to your vehicle in the classic fashion that says, “I’m extremely important and busy, get out of my way!” The usual advice is simple – let them pass as soon as it is safe to do so. This type of scenario can often escalate into a road-rage situation and life is just way too short.

Passive tailgaters, on the other hand, don’t appear to have the remotest intention of passing you out but simply drive too close for comfort. Whatever tailgater you encounter in your rear-view mirror, they can be as unpredictable and as unsettling as rattlesnakes, so take care out there – and don’t be a tailgater yourself!

GAS FROM CHEESE! Hundreds of homes in Cumbria will be heated using cheese from next month, as a new government-backed green energy plant starts producing gas from cheddar manufacturing waste. The anaerobic digestion plant at the Lake District Creamery will receive millions of pounds in subsidies for turning whey and other residues from the cheese production process into “biogas”. Some of the gas will be used to generate electricity on-site, while the remainder will be processed and fed into the local gas grid where it will be used by homes and business for their heating and cooking. Clearfleau, the company that built the new plant, said the total amount of gas being fed into the gas grid each year would be equivalent to the annual gas needs of 4,000 homes. About 60 per cent of that gas is expected to be taken back out of the grid for the creamery’s own use in steam-making, leaving the equivalent of 1,600 homes’ annual gas usage circulating to homes and businesses in rural Cumbria. The project is going ahead thanks to a lucrative Government subsidy scheme which rewards homes and businesses for producing energy from renewable sources, in order to meet EU renewable energy targets and UK climate change goals. Lake District Biogas, the developer which is funding the up-front cost of the project, is expected to receive about £2 million a year in subsidies, paid for by consumers through levies on their energy bills, for the next 20 years. Further subsidies will be paid for the electricity produced on site, while the project will also serve to cut the costs of energy and waste disposal at the creamery, which produces thousands of tonnes of cheddar every year. The cheese-based gas is produced by pumping liquid whey residues that are left over from the cheesemaking, together with water that is used to clean down cheesy equipment, into a giant tank. Bacteria then feed on the fats and sugars in the cheese residues over a period of 50 days, producing “biogas” – a mixture of methane and other gases - through a process of anaerobic digestion. The plant will produce about 1,000 cubic metres of biogas per hour. While some of that is used in a small power plant on site, the majority will then be “upgraded” by removing carbon dioxide to leave “bio-methane”, which is comparable in energy content to North Sea natural gas. This can then be fed into the grid.

Kerry teenagers hailed as heroes

TWO Kerry teenagers have been hailed as heroes after they rescued a mother and baby from a river. The woman and her five-week-old child were dramatically plucked from the river in Castleisland on Tuesday afternoon after the baby’s buggy plunged into the water. Shay Walsh from Scartaglin and his girlfriend Alison Jones from Ballymacelligott were walking along the bank of the River Maine when they heard the woman’s cries for help. After the buggy with the little girl slipped from the riverbank into the water, it forced the five-week-old underneath the surface. The frantic mother dived into the river in a bid to save the baby. The two students raced to the scene and helped lift out the mother and the pram. The fast action of the mother and Shay and Alison helped save the young baby from serious injury. Both of the teenagers’ secondary school principals spoke on Radio Kerry of their pride in the teenagers’ actions.

VIEWS FROM KERRY AND AROUND THE WORLD BONO TALKS... U2 singer reassures Senate subcommittee he is serious about using comedians to humiliate ‘goosestepping’ Isis, adding that refugee crisis is issue of national security. Never one for holding back on an opinion, Bono has come up with a new way of destroying Islamic State – not with bombs, but with belly laughs. The U2 singer said sending comedians such as Amy Schumer and Sacha Baron Cohen would be an effective alternative to airstrikes. Bono was speaking in front of a Senate subcommittee on Tuesday, April 12, during a wide-ranging discussion on the Middle East and the refugee crisis. He said: “Don’t laugh. I think comedy should be deployed. It’s like, you speak violence, you speak their language. But you laugh at them, when they’re goose-stepping down the street, and it takes away their power. So, I’m suggesting that the Senate send in Amy Schumer, and Chris Rock, and Sacha Baron Cohen, thank you.” The 55-year-old had to reassure the crowd at the Dirksen Senate Office Building that he was “actually being serious” and in response he received a serious reply. “Actually, that’s not the first time I’ve heard experts on how do we counter violent extremism talk about that,” said Senator Jeanne Shaheen, Democrat for New Hampshire. “It’s one of the things that we’re looking at.” Speaking on the refugee crisis, Bono said: “Aid in 2016 is not charity; it is national security. It could be the best bulwark we have against violent extremism.” The U2 singer had been invited to speak by Lindsey Graham, chairman of the subcommittee, Republican senator and former 2016 presidential candidate.

OUR FARMERS ARE SUFFERING Lousy weather, poor milk prices and the threat of cheap meat imports from South America are making life very difficult for our farmers. While there has been plenty rain, the lack of heat and light means there’s no growth and this could lead to a forage shortage sooner rather than later. I’m not sure how the Late Late Show helped their situation by highlighting how some people might make sausages. Philip Boucher Hayes appeared on last week’s show and turned the stomachs of the audience by preparing a disgusting sausage meat mixture. Maybe the Boucher part of his name has some connection with the French ‘Boucherie, ’ but the end result of the exercise was a sickening pink mush. As the audience tucked into cocktail sausages, he proceeded to make sausages, bulking up the pork with water and sodium triphosphate (most commonly used in laundry detergents as a water softener). Then he added sodium ascorbate to keep the colour in check, sodium metabisulifite, which is used as a preservative, monosodium glutamate, carmine and sugar. There’s nothing mysterious or upsetting about any of these food additives but if Mr Hayes was trying to put people off sausages he went about it with great energy. I am happy to report that my butcher buys in pork bellies to make his home-made sausages and adds preservatives and other food additives but his sausages are 78% meat and they’re really tasty. We love them! Irish farm produce is highly regarded. Indeed, many supermarket chains use fictional farm names on their own-brand products and this gives the impression that they are either supporting local producers or that their products are produced locally. That’s flattery. Farmers need all the help they can get to move their product as the US-imposed sanctions on Russia are having a very serious effect on their incomes.

Three-year-old girl abducted from UK Primark store TWO teenage girls were arrested by British police on suspicion of kidnapping a three-yearold girl in Newcastle. The toddler disappeared from a Primark in the city centre at around 5pm on Wednesday evening. It triggered a city-wide search after officers found she had left the store with two teenage girls she did not know, leaving her mother "incredibly" distressed. Police trawled through CCTV from Newcastle City Council, local shops, Newcastle University, bus companies, the metro and their own cameras in search of the girl. The child was eventually found nearly three miles away and over an hour later in Gosforth, north Newcastle, by a police officer. The alleged kidnappers, aged 13 and 14, were arrested on suspicion of child abduction and taken for questioning.

Nigeria Chibok girls 'shown alive' in Boko Haram video A VIDEO released by Nigerian Islamist group Boko Haram appears to show some of the schoolgirls kidnapped two years ago from the town of Chibok. It is the first footage of the girls to be seen since May 2014. The video, apparently filmed in December, was sent to the Nigerian government and shows 15 girls in black robes identifying themselves as pupils abducted from the school. Some of those filmed have been identified by their parents. The kidnapping of the 276 girls triggered the global social media campaign #BringBackOurGirls, involving US first lady Michelle Obama and a host of celebrities. But despite their efforts, most of the girls are still missing. Meanwhile, hundreds of parents are due to hold a march in the Nigerian capital, Abuja, to demand the government does more to find their daughters.

IT WAS a profitable Wednesday evening in Kerry for one BoyleSports punter, who scooped over €9,000 on a Lotto bet. The customer, who wishes to remain anonymous, placed intuitive 5 cent four-fold bets, totalling a stake of 25 cent, and a 20 cent five-fold both on the five numbers 4, 10, 19, 29, 40 on the Lotto Plus 1 draw. The numbers were all drawn, with 19 being the bonus ball, and saw the 5 cent four-fold bets return €1,325.30. The 20 cent five-fold returned

€8,000.20, bringing the total winnings up to an impressive €9,325.50. Should the numbers have been done with the National Lottery the punter would have received just €50. Aoife Heffron, PR Executive for BoyleSports, said: “The €9,325.50 windfall in Kerry was no doubt a welcome mid-week bonus for this Kingdomer. We want to wish them all the best with their winnings and congratulate them on their astute Lotto betting.”

PROPERTY PRICES RISE IN KERRY HOUSE prices rose by an average of 5.9% in the year to March 2016, according to the latest house price report released this week by leading Irish property website Daft.ie. In Kerry, prices between January and March 2016 were 6% higher than a year previously, compared to a rise of 8% seen a year ago. The average house price is now €165,000, 17% above its lowest point. The divide between Dublin and the rest of the country persists, with prices effectively stable in the capital – rising just 0.9% in the last year – compared to a rise of 9.7% on average outside Dublin. In almost all parts of the country, however, inflation now is less than three months ago. The national average asking price in the first quarter of 2016 was €210,000, compared to €198,000 a year ago and €164,000 at its lowest point. In Dublin, prices have risen by an average of €91,000 – or 41% - from their lowest point in mid-2012. Outside the capital, the average increase has been €37,500, or 28%, since the end of 2013. While prices are stable in Dublin, they continue to increase strongly in other cities. Compared to the same period in 2015, prices in the first quarter of 2016 were 14.9% higher in Cork, 14% higher in Galway and 18% higher in both

Ronan Lyons.

Limerick and Waterford cities. Inflation outside the cities varies from 8.3% in Leinster to 10.4% in Connacht-Ulster. Addressing the shortage in supply is a must, said Ronan Lyons, author of the Daft.ie Report. “It is interesting to note that in yearon-year terms, prices are now falling in five Dublin markets – Dublin 2, Dublin 6, Dublin 16, Dublin 18 and South County Dublin. These are some of the most expensive markets in the country and show the effectiveness of the Central Bank rules. Nonetheless, across the country, prices continue to rise, because the increase in population each month is not being matched by an increase in new homes. Addressing the shortage of supply – in particular the high cost base on construction – must a top priority for the new Government.”

Top Gear in Kerry Matt LeBlanc and Chris Evans are hitting Kerry this weekend NEW Top Gear duo Chris Evans and Matt LeBlanc will be in Kerry to film for the new season of the hugely popular and controversial motoring show. Chris Evans revealed the news on his BBC Radio 2 show on Wednesday morning about the pair's upcoming trip to the Ireland which presumably will include a spin along the Wild Atlantic Way. "Matt LeBlanc and I are going to Ireland on Friday to make a Top Gear film," he explained. "And we're thinking of going to the Dingle area. Is that a good thing to do?" After being told about some of the delights of Dingle, he added that the duo might sample some local hospitality, while pointing out that "technically

we'll be working, obviously." The 50-year-old presenter also mentioned Killorglin as a destination for Top Gear, adding that they "don't want to go inland - want to go on the coast road. Better for shots." Former Labour TD Michael McCarthy had previously written to the BBC and the head of Fáilte Ireland to ask Top Gear to feature the West coast and the Wild Atlantic Way on the show. "We’re inviting them over to do a show here which would be a wonderful promotion of the Irish tourism industry and I think also it will be very good for the programme itself," he said. “As well as the very vibrant tourist sector in the area, there’s a very fine road network."

Matt LeBlanc, Chris Evans in Kerry this weekend; there are no reported sightings of the Stig.

Meeke And Nagle Will Return To WRC Action On The Gravel Roads Of Rally De Portugal (May 19-21) KRIS MEEKE and Paul Nagle will head a three-car DS 3 entry in Portugal alongside Stéphane Lefebvre and Khalid Al-Qassimi. Meeke and Nagle finished fourth in Portugal last season when the rally returned to the north of the country. The Abu Dhabi squad is contesting a selection of WRC rounds this season while the factory Citroën Racing team develops its new C3 World Rally Car ahead of a return to full-time action next year.

Its two previous 2016 appearances were at Rallye Monte-Carlo, which Meeke and Nagle led before retiring when an impact with a rock damaged his gearbox, and Rally Sweden when a similar collision broke their suspension when in second. The pairing have been the only team this season to match the times of the current WRC champion Sebastian Ogier. A trouble free run should present a podium result if not the top step.

RSA report says defective tyres played role in many road deaths VEHICLE factors, such as defective tyres, had a role to play in over 100 fatal road traffic accidents between 2008 and 2012, a major new report has revealed. According to the Road Safety Authority, vehicle factors contributed to one in every eight fatal collisions between 2008 and 2012 - that is 101 collisions in total. A total of 111 people died and 30 were seriously injured following collisions where vehicle defects were a contributory factor. Defective tyres were the most significant vehicle factor identified and were linked to 71 road deaths and 19 serious injuries between 2008 and 2012. Defective brakes were also a big factor, contributing to 18 deaths and six serious injuries. Drivers aged between 17 and 24 accounted for 47% of fatal collisions involving defective, worn or underinflated tyres. The highest proportion of drivers with defective tyres were in Donegal, followed by Cork and Kerry. The RSA says this analysis shows that

Killarney Advertiser 15.04.16

defective tyres are a bigger contributory factor to deaths and injuries on Irish roads than previously identified. It will now begin a major awareness and safety campaign. In a statement Minister for Transport Paschal Donohoe said the report "highlights just how important it is that every aspect of a vehicle, whether a car, truck, van or motorcycle, is in proper, roadworthy condition. "None of us can predict what will happen when we use the roads - we may encounter other drivers behaving poorly, or weather conditions could be particularly bad. "But we can take personal responsibility for ensuring our vehicle is properly maintained so that we can rely on our tyres responding to the conditions as they should or our brakes working when they need to." He added work is under way to bring the offence of defective and non-roadworthy tyres within the penalty point system.

First quarter new car sales motor 30% higher NEW figures from the Central Statistics Office show that new car sales rose by 30.1% in the first quarter of the year. The CSO said that a total of 68,375 new private cars were licensed in the first three months of the year compared to a figure of 52,543 the same time last year. The number of used or imported cars also increased in the first quarter, rising by 8.2%. In March, the number of new cars licensed rose by 17.8% to 20,096. A total of 5,276 used cars were also licensed, up 17.5% on the same month last year. Volkswagen was the most popular make of new car sold last month, with 2,456 new VWs leaving forecourts despite the company's ongoing difficulties over its cheating of emissions tests. Toyota had the second highest sales at 2,030, followed by Hyundai (2,009), Nissan (1,921) and Ford (1,507). The CSO figures also reveal a 14.3% increase in the number of new goods vehicles licensed last month to bring the total to 2,847. Seven out of every ten cars licensed in March ran on diesel.

Club Captain Liam Hartnett was in the

Local clubs weekly round-up | Deadline Tuesday 5.30pm

vanguard of a 40 strong contingent of Members of the Men’s Club who travelled to Lahinch last weekend, which surprisingly turned out to be very pleasant from a weather perspective, despite a forecast to the contrary, for most of the time spent on the Golf Links. On Friday a doubles competition was played over a curtailed course of 14 holes due to the lateness of the tee times that were allocated to us, and it was won by Dan Joe Cahill and John O’Shea with a incredible score of 35 points, they were 5 points clear of those in second place who were Sean Goulding and Ger Lenihan with 30 points. On Saturday, the singles competition was played in almost Mediterranean like conditions and we had, once again a late start, and the last three groups endured the start of the horrible conditions that followed and remained with us for the remainder of the weekend. 1st was Bernard O’Shea (19) with 43 points. 2nd was Pat Favier (15) with 42 points. 3rd was James Curran (10) with 37 points. 4th was John Herlihy (8) with 36 points. 5th was John Lynch (12) with 36 points. 6th was Michael O’Neill (13) with 35 points. 7th was Ger Moroney with 35 points. 1st nine holes winner was Derry McCarthy (5) with 19 points. 2nd nine holes winner was Brian O’Regan (6) with 18 points. Bernard was a most popular winner, and in his acceptance speech Bernard paid tribute to his recently departed, and long time Golfing ambassador, and former Captain of our Club, Sean O’Shea. Best Dressed was Donal “gap” O’Sullivan, closely followed by James Curran, and in third place wearing trousers that would have been most appropriate on St. Patrick’s Day was Brendan Keogh.!!! The foul weather that closed in at about 7.30pm continued into the evening and all of Sunday but it did not dampen the spirits of the doughty band of travellers, but it did totally wipe out the intended “sightseeing” that had been planned for Sunday. Club competition, Singles stableford sponsored by Clifford’s Cash and Carry Tralee on Killeen on Sunday last was called off 30 minutes after it started due to the inclement weather conditions, and it will be re-scheduled for a date later in the year. Captain Liam Hartnett, on behalf of the entire membership of the Club wishes to pass on his sincere condolences to the family of our former Captain Tommy Doran, who was Captain in 1991 when the Carroll’s Irish Open was played in Killarney, to Tommy’s wife Joan and all of Tommy’s extended family. A most fitting and appropriate tribute was paid to Tommy with, no less than four different groups lined up as “Guards of Honour” for Tommy’s funeral, Killarney Golf and Fishing Club, Killarney Fire Brigade, Buckley’s Tours, and members of the former Killarney UDC. Captain Liam would also like to extend the same condolences to the wife and family of our member Tom Murphy, whose untimely passing came just weeks before Tom was due to take retirement from Liebherr Container Cranes Ltd. May the Good Lord extend his welcoming arms to them

both, and no doubt a “fourball” will be lined up with Tommy Doran and James Loughnane taking on Tom Murphy and Sean O’Shea, on the “Killarney” Golf course in the heavens.

Killarney Celtic

Celtic Park to Host U18 International This Thursday sees Celtic Park host the U18 Centenary Shield Match between Ireland and Scotland at 7.00pm. This is a great honour for the club and testament to the standard of our facilities and the hard work done by wonderful volunteers on previous occasions. We

ask that everyone try to arrive early if possible and please show our neighbours the same courtesy and consideration that they have always shown us. 40th Anniversary Commemorations Our Club has a big birthday when it turns 40 this year. To help mark the occasion and to preserve our history for future Killarney Celtic generations, we will shortly be compiling a Digital Archive of club photos, news reports, memorabilia etc. That will require current and past members to rummage out whatever you might have in display cases, old biscuit tins and photo albums. We’ll be publishing more details here and via the press on the project and how you can get us your materials (and get them safely back). 1995/1996 Reunion A Reunion of the Killarney Celtic double winning side of 1995/96 [20 years] will take place on Friday 22nd April 2016 in the Failte Bar at 9pm. A few beers, finger food and a chat so spread the word. Contact Noel Brosnan 087 2340981 or Karl McMahon 087 6383112. Congratulations In a week where Killarney Celtic has the honour to host the Irish U18 team, this has been a very rewarding one for Kerry soccer in many ways.

Shane McLoughlin scored for Ipswich, Brendan Moloney led Northampton to promotion, Rian O’Sullivan captained Brighton to a win over Derby. Pride of place, however, goes to Killarney Celtic’s own Hannah O’Donoghue, who opened the scoring in the Ireland U16s win over Wales.

Results Jimmy Falvey Youth Cup: Killarney Celtic at home to St. Brendan’s Park, Saturday, 2.30pm U16 Division 1: Asdee 3 Killarney Celtic B 2 An enthralling duel, and Celtic can be hugely proud of their effort while congratulating the winners. Keelan Deegan and Trevor O’Shea got our goals, while Mark Cooper and Tommy McGuire were outstanding. U15 Division One: Castleisland 2 Killarney Celtic B 5 This was a great performance by a hugely improved team from the start of the year; great to see the hard work paying off! U14 Cup: Killarney Celtic 5 Listowel Celtic 2 Killarney Celtic were the first team into the semi-finals of the Tom Hayse 14’s Cup thanks to a 5-2 win over Listowel Celtic.

U14 Cup: Castleisland 5 Killarney Celtic B0 Killarney Celtic B beat Castleisland in mid-week to go through to the weekend’s quarter finals. Harry Buckley 2, Paul O’Sullivan, Nathan Fleming, Darragh Geaney and Caires Prusek got the Celtic goal.

U14 Cup: Killarney Celtic B 1 Mastergeeha 6 Unfortunately, that big win over Castleisland was negated as Celtic B bowed out at the hands of an excellent Mastergeeha, despite us opening the scoring through Paul O’Sullivan. U12 Cup Quarter-Final: Park 3 Killarney Celtic 0 The team gave it everything, with Patrick Lyons, Senan O’Leary, and Luke Crowley giving it everything, but Park were too strong on the day. U12 Cup Quarter-Final: Killorglin 6 Killarney Celtic C 1 Strong and capable Killorglin got an early surprise as Celtic opened the scoring through Brian O’Sullivan, but the home side deservedly took control and ran out winners. Nonetheless, this was a hugely creditable display by a C team against an A side. U12 Division Three: Killarney Celtic C 6 MEK 2 Celtic led 3-0 at half time thanks to two goals from Robbie Harnett and one from Kelvin O’Sullivan. Luke O’Neill, Eoghan Crowley and Robert Brooks added goal in the second half. Congratulations to U12 player Robbie Harnett on making the Kerry Schoolboys/Schoolgirls Team of the Week.

KERRY CRUISE INTO ALLIANZ LEAGUE FINAL KERRY cruised into their first Allianz League final since 2009, and a meeting with Dublin, following a comprehensive ten points victory over Roscommon at a windy Croke Park on Sunday afternoon last (3-15 to 0-14). Three first half goals by Colm Cooper, Donnchadh Walsh and Darran O’Sullivan for the Kingdom killed off the Connaught side’s challenge and there was never a remote chance that Roscommon would repeat their Round 2 victory over the wearers of the green and gold. Aidan O’Mahony, captaining his county for only the second time at senior level, won the toss and pointed in the direction of the Davin goal to play with the elements and Kerry wasted little time in letting the ball do the work when wind assisted. At the break they led by 3-8 to 0-5 and the game was as good as in the bag at that stage. Kerry went through the motions in the second half and Roscommon, deprived of the oxygen that a goal can give, gave of their best but on the day it was just not good enough to deprive Kerry of a first meeting with the metropolitans since 1987. The teams will meet in Croke Park on Sunday, Apil 24, at 3.30pm a game that will be preceded at 1.30pm by the Division 2 final between Tyrone and Cavan. There is also a major entertainment event planned for Croke Park on that day to celebrate the centenary of 1916. Tickets, costing €35 are already on sale.

Garveys SuperValu Senior County Football Championship Draw

The draw for the Garveys SuperValu Senior County Football Championship Round 1 was made on Saturday last live on Radio Kerry. Kevin McCarthy representing Garveys SuperValu and Peter Twiss, Secretary Kerry County Committee did the honours. Also present were

Currow

Coiste Na nÓg U16: Currow hosted Dr Crokes on Monday 4th April in the East Kerry League, in a good encounter Currow proved to be too strong for their opponents winning on a score line of Currow 4-12 to Dr Crokes 3-05, Next game is against Kilcummin on Monday 11th April in Currow. U14: Currow welcomed Gneeveguilla on Wednesday 6th April in the County League, played in soft conditions both teams were eager to claim the points. In a very close game Currow were the team to come out on top winning on a score line of Currow 1-10 to Gneeveguilla 1-09, Next fixture is against Knock/Brosna on Wednesday 13th April in Currow. U12: Our U12 team were due to play Spa on Sunday 10th April but was called off because of weather conditions, next game is vs. Ballyheigue at home on Sunday 17th April. Feile 2016: We have been placed in Division 8 for the forthcoming Feile competition, where we are delighted to be hosting Scotland for this competition, which will take place on the 24th,25th and 26th June. After being drawn in group B, Currow will play Scotland, Kilkenny and Scart/

Leona Twiss. Cultural Officer and John O'Leary County PRO. As usual, the draw threw up some intriguing ties with champions South Kerry travelling to Tralee to take on Kerins O’Rahillys. Dr Crokes, already many people’s favourites to lift the Cup, have a home game against West Kerry while there is a big all club meeting in Rathmore where the locals take on Dingle. First Round games will be played on the weekend on May 14 and 15. The draw resulted in the following pairings: Dr Crokes V West Kerry; Milltown/Castlemaine V Killarney Legion; Kerins O'Rahilly's V South Kerry; Mid Kerry V Kilcummin; East Kerry V Austin Stacks; St Kierans V Feale Rangers; and Rathmore V Dingle, and St Brendan's V Kenmare District. Kerry lose out to Cork in Munster Under 21 Final The concession of three goals, two in the first half when wind assisted, and the other at the three quarter stage at a time when Kerry had forged ahead, ultimately cost Kerry dearly after a tremendous hour’s football in the Eirgrid Munster Under 21 Football Final at Tralee’s Austin Stack Park on Wednesday night last, (3-9 to 1-14). It was a game that at times displayed Gaelic Football at its best and we witnessed four top class goals and a number of excellent points from both sides. Kerry had the use of the strong wind in the first half but it was Cork, thanks to two goals, who led at the break, 2-4 to 0-7. Kerry enjoyed a good third quarter thanks to a tremendous goal by Mark O’Connor but Cork replied with a similar score and though Kerry rallied to tie the scores as the game entered added on time, it was Cork who broke away for the winner.

Kerry followers can take comfort from the fact that twelve of the starting fifteen and three of the subs used on the night are eligible for next year’s competition which of course will be the last at that grade as the age limit is under 20 from 2018.

Shamrocks. All the players had great fun on the bus and they played some really exciting football. It was a brilliant trip and credit to the Kenmare club for their top class hospitality. U12 Both under 12 teams were due to host Kilcummin at home on Sunday evening but the games were called off due to poor weather conditions. The games will be re-scheduled for a later date. Next fixtures Both teams will play Glenflesk at 6pm in Lewis Road on Sunday, 17th April. U14 It was a mixed start to the year for our under 14 teams as both teams travelled to Tralee to play Austin Stacks in the County League on Wednesday evening. Stacks took all two points in the Division 1 clash after they won on a scoreline of 6-8 to 0-12. The Dr Crokes Amber team got off to a winning start with a terrific 6-7 to 1-6 victory. Next fixtures Dr Crokes Black (home) v Laune Rangers at 7pm on Wednesday, 13th April. Dr Crokes Amber (away) v Firies at 7pm on Wednesday, 13th April.

Both sides superbly observed a minutes silence before throw in, in respect of their fellow under 14 GAA sister Ciara Ryan who tragically passed away while playing with her club side in Gorey, Co. Wexford. In the game itself Crokes industry and ability to create and take goal scoring opportunities were the deciding factors. But the sad passing of Ciara Ryan in Wexford rightly served to diminish the importance of the result and emphasised how much we should cherish the health of our young children.

MINORS The minors finished off a busy week with a great win over Laune Rangers on a scoreline of 2-18 to 1-7. A feature of the game was the scoring return of recent Hogan Cup winner Peter McCarthy who accounted for an incredible 2-13. They have now qualified for the County League semi-final. Congratulations to all involved. U-12 GIRLS The U-12 girls played Ballymac last week in what was, for some of them, their first competitive outing. It took the girls some time to settle and a bigger Ballymac team took advantage of a fast start to get ahead by half time. Our players improved as the game wore on and we finished the stronger team.

Kerry Coiste na nÓg

Enthusiasm is growing around the county and further afield about The John West Feile na Peil 2016, hosted by Kerry, Cork, and Limerick. It will be the biggest and most inclusive of its kind and host clubs are already putting huge effort into preparing a broad Kerry welcome for our visitors to what will be a massive sporting adventure. Many clubs have taken the time to send short introductory videos to GAA Féile on facebook and twitter from GAA Féile (@feilegaa). It is especially great to see the great encouragement of inter-county players, all of whom came through coiste na nog development and juvenile clubs themselves and many of whom got their first taste of glory and communal pride at Feile. The John West Feile na Peil 2016 will be launched at Brosna on May 9th and everyone is welcome to attend. Kerry Coiste na nÓg As important as Feile is, it is worth noting that Kerry Coiste na nÓg caters for all ages and grades and, as always, a huge and often under-appreciated amount of hard work is being done by clubs all around the county. While some games did have to be cancelled last Sunday because of the inclement weather – and of course safety and welfare is always and will always be our primary concern – last week saw almost 350 players in 21 county football games, with 81-186 scored in total and 63-155 conceded, while 240 kids played in 14 county hurling league games, with 47-100 scored and 40-80 conceded That’s 752 scores in total across 35 games, or over 20 scores per game. That’s great scoring across the board and a great sign of young players confident in their skills and encouraged to develop them. It is also noticeable that all clubs have been rotating players and giving game time to substitutes whenever possible, something that is very much to be encouraged.
