Editor’s View Lighting the way for sports stars of the future THE flame for the Olympic Games in Brazil was lit in Greece this week, turning many of our thoughts to the big event in Rio in August.

Closer to home, of course, there was no shortage of talented athletes out in force in Killarney National Park on Wednesday as almost 1,400 students and teachers crossed the finish line after completing the AIB Schools Fitness Challenge.

The exuberant participants were delighted to seize their opportunity to chat with their sporting heroes, Kerry football stars Colm Cooper and James O’Donoghue and 2016

Olympic hopefuls Niall Tuohy and Jessie Barr (2012 Olympian).

St Brendan’s College along with Killarney Valley AC hosted the event with support from AIB and it was fantastic to see the enthusiasm shown by primary and secondary school pupils and teachers.

All money raised on the day goes towards funding the Killarney Community MicroTrack Project which will bring a top-class outdoor sporting arena to the town.

Round Of Applause For David And Rotary Youth Leadership Participants

Question I’ve been invited to take part in the JobPath programme.

What can I expect from the programme? Can I keep my social welfare payment?

Answer JobPath is a new employment activation programme that is intended to help jobseekers find and retain full-time employment. The Department of Social Protection selects clients for JobPath on a random basis. You cannot apply to go on JobPath.

Supports from JobPath are aimed at people who are long-term unemployed and people who are newly unemployed but who may need intensive support to find work.

If you are selected for JobPath you will be referred to a JobPath company. There are two companies - Seetec and Turas Nua. You will be assigned to a personal adviser who will assess your skills, work experience and work goals. The adviser will draw up a Personal Progression Plan with you which will include a series of activities and actions designed to help you get a job. These might include work experience, training and other relevant supports. You will be given career advice and helped with CV and interview preparation. You can also get support and advice about starting your own business.

John O'Sullivan (President of Rotary Club), David Leen (winner of the Killarney Rotary Youth Leadership competition), Sheila Kingston and Tom Leslie, middle, Paul Brosnan, Grainne Dineen, Nicole Riordan, Shole Koschan, Chelsea Coffey, Aldine Murphy, Sarah Finnan, Sadhbh Ni Chathasaigh and Sean Houlihan, Precious Akilapa, Pierce O'Meara, Shane O'Sullivan, Donagh O'Leary and Page Fitzpatrick, Back, Ciara Irwin Foley, Angela O'Connor, Katie O'Connell, Grace O'Neill, Con Keane and Roisin Moore.

You keep your jobseeker's payment while on JobPath. Generally the programme lasts for a year (52 weeks). If you find a job the Jobpath company will continue to work with you while you are in employment for up to a year. It will give particular support during the first few weeks of employment.

Depending on local arrangements, while you are on JobPath you may sign on for your jobseeker's payment less often than at present, or in some situations you may not have to sign on at all.

HIS impressive leadership skills earned David Leen a coveted Rotary Ireland award this week. David, a student at the Intermediate School Killorglin, won the Killarney Rotary Club Youth Leadership prize on Wednesday.

He was among some of Kerry’s brightest and best second-level students who were rewarded for their participation in the prestigious competition.

Youngsters from Killarney schools St Brigid’s Presentation Secondary School, Killarney Community College and St Brendan’s College along with Milltown Presentation Secondary School and the Intermediate School Killorglin were out in force at the Killarney Rotary Club lunch at The

Malton where they were presented with certificates by Killarney Rotary President John O’Sullivan.

The students shone at the Killarney interviews for the Rotary Ireland Youth Leadership competition, organised at local level in early November by Tom Leslie and Conor Griffin of Killarney Rotary Club.

“The interviews took place in The Malton Hotel over three nights in November,” said Tom Leslie.

“It is a great initiative and in the past we have had three local winners representing Kerry at national level.”

Killarney Rotary President John O’Sullivan congratulated all involved in the 32-county competition.

Lynes of Killarney offer perfect school uniform saving plan NOW is the time to start saving for that all-important school uniform.

The good news is that Lynes of Killarney offer you the opportunity to do just that.

Why not call into the shop or give the team a call as to how you can enjoy the benefits of its school uniform saving scheme?

The cost of going back to school can seem a little daunting the closer you get to September so now is the ideal time to make plans. “Many families have benefited by joining our savings club as it is a yearround service,” according to the team. “We stock all school uniforms, primary and secondary.”

‘Already Missing The Magic Of Kerry’ The Rolls Royce Dawn on the Ring of Kerry PICTURE: BBC

ROLLING into town for the weekend, Top Gear presenters Chris Evans and Matt Le Blanc and their crew proved a huge hit with the people of Killarney and Kerry – and the county in turn won the duo’s hearts.

The enjoyed pints of Guinness, met GAA players and crashed a hen party as well as zooming along the Wild Atlantic Way in eye-catching RollsRoyce cars.

The popular BBC show’s crew selected picturesque Kerry to pit a classic Rolls Royce Corniche against the modern Rolls Royce Dawn and they certainly weren’t disappointed, with the spectacular sunshine mirroring the bright smiles of welcome on the faces of the locals they met.

The motoring show has a global viewership of 350 million and the shoot will be an invaluable showcase for Kerry and the Wild Atlantic Way, according to tourism experts. “The publicity value of a production like Top Gear is incalculable – it is a

superb way of highlighting Kerry and the Wild Atlantic Way to millions of people across Britain, inspiring them to put Ireland on their holiday ‘wish list’ for 2016,” said Vanessa Markey, Tourism Ireland’s head of Britain.

Friends star Matt LeBlanc revealed he even enjoyed his first Guinness while in Kerry while Chris Evans praised the landscape: "We had the Rolls Royce Dawn and one of the most beautiful backdrops in the world, so that's why we came." He also tweeted that one of the routes he covered was the best road he ever had driven on.

The Top Gear crew visited Ladies View, Killarney town, Kenmare, Gallarus GAA pitch and Dingle town.

Chris Evans posted photographs of the road trip on his Twitter account, accompanying them with such delighted comments as: "Another gem from Ireland Top Gear shoot.

Already missing the magic" and "Best road I've ever driven on. Had no idea it existed. A great great day."

TOP GEAR VISIT A HUGE BOOST FOR TOWN AND COUNTY KILLARNEY and Kerry owe “a huge debt of gratitude” to BBC show Top Gear’s location scout, according to Killarney Chamber of Tourism & Commerce president Kate O’Leary.

Kate noted that the press and social media coverage was invaluable on the tourism promotion front. “There was incredible social media reach and radio coverage not to mention the TV coverage and more to come,” said Kate.

“Chris Evans was effusive in his praise for the road and the scenery. God was looking down on us with the weather for the shoot.

“The benefits of this are immeasurable and, added to the Star Wars coverage, it seems Kerry is, as we always knew, ‘Nirvana’, to quote Chris Evans.”

Exciting Drama Brings Rathmore Man’s Fight For Irish Freedom Centre Stage ANTICIPATION is building in Rathmore as the moving and patriotic story of Rathmore man Patrick O’Connor will be brought to the stage at the weekend.

Patrick - The 1916 Story of Captain Patrick O'Connor is written and directed by Aidan O'Connor, Rathmore, and depicts the final weeks of Patrick’s life before he joined the GPO Garrison on Easter Monday, 1916.

The show runs on Saturday and Sunday in Rathmore Community Centre at 8pm.

Up to 20 of Patrick's relatives are making the journey from

Dublin and all over the country to see the performance.

A total of 90 actors, singers, musicians and stage crew are involved in the top-class production.

“He, along with fellow Kerry men The O'Rahilly, Michael Mulvihill and Patrick Shortis died in the Moore Street charge that day.”

Final rehearsals for what is set to be a riveting production are taking place this week. “The dedication and hard work put in by so many people over the past

few weeks is testament to the mark Patrick O'Connor has left behind. People are truly moved by his story and sacrifice. Telling history has been a moving and humbling journey,” added Aidan.

Fire Fighters Battle Blaze In Tomies Wood Area THE National Parks & Wildlife Service (NPWS) advised the public to stay away from the western area of Killarney National Park, near Tomies Wood, where fire fighters were battling a blaze yesterday The NPWS of the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht urged the public to stay away both for their own safety and also to ensure that they do not impede the work of the emergency services.

A request was made to the Air Corps to help fire fighters in their attempts to extinguish the fire.

Speaking on Thursday morning, the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Heather Humphreys said: “I am informed that every effort is being made by my staff and the emergency services to get the fire at Killarney National Park under control.

“My Department is monitoring developments closely and our staff on the ground are liaising directly with the fire services who are dealing with the situation.

“I would ask members of the public to adhere to the advice to avoid the western side of the Park near Tomies Wood.”

In April of last year, the Air Corps was drafted in to assist with efforts to minimise damage to Killarney National Park from what was described as one of the worst-ever blazes to break out in the confines of the 26,000-hectare Unesco biosphere reserve.

President pays tribute to Sir Roger Casement

A scene from the State commemoration for Sir Roger Casement at the historic landing site on Banna Strand. PICTURES: DOMNICK WALSH

THE President of Ireland, Michael D Higgins, was in Kerry on Thursday where he led a day of commemorations for Sir Roger Casement.

Describing him as a great Irish patriot and one of the 20th century's great humanitarians, the President laid a wreath at the monument dedicated to his role in the 1916 Rising beside Banna Strand and also at a State ceremony overlooking the sea where Casement arrived in a German U-boat.

Thousands of people gathered and were perched at every possible vantage point on the dunes.

President Higgins said the centenary is a chance to engage with the fundamental questions he raised about power and human rights, the rights of communities and indigenous peoples and foreign policy and international trade rules.

"It is only now, despite the pioneering humanitarianism of such as Casement, that the degradation of indigenous peoples has grew into a central issue in human rights discourse," he said.

Casement was hanged in Pentonville Prison, London, on August 3, 1916 after being found guilty of treason. His remains were returned to Ireland in 1965.

After years working for Britain's foreign service, and exposing abuses in rubber plantations run

by Belgium's King Leopold II in Congo, he was knighted.

In 1914 he exposed similar human rights issues in Brazil. At the same time was a member of the Irish Volunteers and helped in the Howth gun running of that year.

After spending 18 months in Germany while the First World War raged, he travelled on U19 under Captain Raimund Weissbach to rendezvous with The Aud, a ship carrying 20,000 guns to Kerry for the Rising.

The link-up did not go as planned and Casement came ashore at Banna with Captain Robert Monteith and Daniel Bailey on Good Friday, April 21.

The Aud was intercepted by the British Navy and was scuttled by its captain, Karl Spindler, off Cork.

Casement was arrested in McKenna's Fort near Banna suffering from the affects of malaria.

His grandniece Lesley McNaughton laid a wreath in his honour at the monument near Banna before the State ceremony took place.

Standing Ovations For Singing Friar

Friar Alessandro pictured with the Killarney Friars.

Eastern Promise For Top Killarney Adventure Team KILLARNEY-BASED company Elite Event Management is poised to bring the first of its Quest Adventure Race series (previously Killarney Adventure Race) outside the Kingdom this Saturday to the famous heritage site of Glendalough in Ireland’s ancient east.

Excitement is mounting in Wicklow ahead of the inaugural Quest Glendalough, which promises to be another challenging and exciting event from the team at Elite Event Management.

There are three different routes to suit all levels of fitness: Mini 19km, Sport 41km and the Expert 57km, and all the routes showcase the unspoilt beauty of Wicklow.

The event has attracted over 1000 adventure enthusiasts from all over the country, and was already a sold-out event three months in ad-

vance. There will also be a large Kerry contingent travelling to Wicklow this weekend to take part in the race.

The Phil Cawley Show on Today FM will be broadcasting live from the Glendalough Hotel on the morning of the race, so be sure to tune in as there will be competitions, spot prizes, music and chat.

Event organiser Oliver Kirwan said “We are very excited to bring our very successful adventure race model to different parts of Ireland.”

If you missed out on registering for Quest Glendalough, don’t worry as there are two more Quest Adventure Races this year – Quest Achill on September 3 and Quest Killarney on October 1.

SOME 1100 people converged on St Mary’s Cathedral in Killarney on Sunday evening for an outstanding performance by celebrated Italian tenor Friar Alessandro. Best known as the Singing Friar from Assisi, he certainly hit all the right notes for his sizeable Irish following.

The Singing Friar, who also performed in Athlone, is as unassuming as he is supremely talented and graciously stopped to chat to fans even in the days following the event.

Killarney Advertiser caught up with Friar Alessandro and his Killarney colleagues at Killarney Friary on Tuesday morning before he headed off for Milan.

“It’s been the talk of the town and we even had two busloads travel from Cork to see him perform,” said Ann Marie O’Leary of the Franciscan Friary.

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 Awards 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.

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.

On Their Bikes For Tour De Munster ALL roads led to Kerry at the weekend as Down Syndrome Ireland’s Munster branches launched the 16th annual Tour De Munster Charity Cycle at Ballyseedy Home and Garden Centre in Tralee, on Saturday.

Tour de Munster is an annual four-day charity cycle which sees amateur cyclists cycling over 600km around Munster.

This is the seventh successive year that the national charity has been the beneficiary of popular charity cycle, which this year takes place from Thursday, August 4, to Sunday, August 7.

The 2015 cycle raised €260,000 for the charity, bringing the total raised for the Munster Branches of DSI to €1.6 million.

The aim this year is to raise a further €250,000 for DSI. Paul Sheridan, who has organised Tour de Munster since day one, said: “We are very grateful to the many businesses and organisations who have supported Tour de Munster in any way over recent years.”

Cycling legend Sean Kelly, who is an avid supporter of Tour de Munster, will once again cycle with the group.

Brian Sheehan, Kevin Donovan, Kevin Counihan, David Griffin, Ivor Ferris, Richard O'Brien and Pat Foley, all from the Mid Kerry Cruisers Team, Killorglin.

Over €66,000 Winging Its Way To Kerry Airport THE announcement this week by Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Paschal Donohoe that €66,431 has been allocated to Kerry Airport is very good news for tourism and local business.

This is part of a €1.2 million regional airport fund set to benefit Donegal, Ireland West and Waterford, as well as Kerry Airport.

The funding will be used to upgrade airside security doors, to purchase an emergency security vehicle and for 12 firefighting kits.

“Supporting regional airports has been a priority for Fine Gael as Kerry Airport and others play a vital role in ensuring connectivity for the regions.

These initial grants will enable Kerry Airport to proceed with important works to ensure that safety and security standards are maintained and enhanced,” said Kerry Fine Gael TD Brendan Griffin.

Wedding bells for Elaine and Ruairi

BY EVE KELLIHER

Bride Elaine Flanagan.

A KILLARNEY proposal led to a big day out for Elaine Flanagan and Ruairi Foley.

Kanturk native Elaine and Ruairi, from Caherciveen, were wed recently in the Ballyroe Heights Hotel in Tralee.

Elaine, the daughter of Brendan and the late Aileen Flanagan, and Ruairi, the son of Teresa McGillicuddy and Patsy Foley, exchanged vows in a civil ceremony led by registrar Mary T O’Shea.

The couple, who will reside in Firies, held their reception in the Ballyroe Heights also, following a photo-shoot at Ardfert Cathedral with wedding photographer Tara Donoghue.

The bride and groom first met in Caherciveen when Elaine was working there for a summer.

Elaine, who is a front-desk supervisor in the Lake Hotel, Killarney, and Ruairi, a deputy manager for Aldi Ireland, got engaged in December 2011 when Ruairi popped the question in Treyvaud’s Restaurant, Killarney.

Helping them organise their big day were bridesmaid Annette O’Connor and best man Kevin Kelliher.

The couple’s sons, pageboys Conor and Darren Foley, and the bride’s niece and flower girl, Katelyn O’Connor, also enjoyed their starring roles.

Very much in the couple’s thoughts on the big day was the bride’s mother, the late Aileen Flanagan.

“Having my brother, Sean Flanagan, travel from Australia with his family, and having my seven-year-old Conor walk me down the aisle as my father was too unwell to attend, was very special to me,” said Elaine.

The bride looked stunning in a dress sourced in Memories bridal boutique in Cork. “Our wedding day was so much fun and very relaxed; we just wanted it to be a big party an that’s what it was!” said Elaine.

“It was important that the kids enjoyed the occasion too as it was a special day for our boys too, so they had their own DJ for a few hours after their dinner so that they could have their own disco and dance their socks off!” said the bride.

The newlyweds enjoyed a honeymoon in Budapest.

Presidential Salute For Cathal And Amy

Happy 40th Eadaoin love Donal, Roisín & Tomás

KERRY native Cathal Griffin was delighted to get the chance to meet President Michael D. Higgins. Cathal, from Glenbeigh, was representing Down Syndrome Ireland (DSI) together with Amy Purcell, from Newbridge, Co Kildare.

President Higgins, who is a patron of Down Syndrome Ireland, exchanged views with Cathal and Amy along with DSI CEO Pat Clarke at the Irish Association for Contemporary European Studies lecture on the future of European

Union this week.

Both Cathal and Amy attended the event following their input in the organisation’s My Opinion My Vote education programme, which is a two-year course aimed at empowering people with Down syndrome through active citizenship and participation in elections. As part of the course, the two have studied the EU and visited Brussels.

Both are also members of Down Syndrome Ireland’s National Advisory Council, a nationally elect-

ed body that represents the voice of people with Down syndrome in Ireland.

Cathal said: “I like doing the My Opinion My Vote course. I do the course every Friday at the IT in Tralee. Basically it is all about politics and the politicians in Ireland and in Europe. We learn about political issues like education, employment and justice…. things like that. It is good really to know these things.”

Happy 18th Katie Lots of love from your family and friends

New World wines that make the French connection NEW ZEALAND Sauvignon Blanc became all the rage a number of years ago. In contrast to many of the New World regions that focus on the grape such as Chile, where it produces highly acidic, crisp, floral-driven wines, New Zealand offered something a little different. The cool climate produces Sauvignon that is, in style, much closer to the wines of the Loire Valley in France, most closely to Sancerre. The primary difference between

RECIPE OF THE WEEK

the styles has usually been identified to be the weight of the wines.

Producers in Sancerre would often criticise New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc as being too heavy, lacking the light elegance of their own produce.

And in some cases that is assuredly the case. Villa Maria, for example is quite weighty and to a lesser extent so is Oyster Bay. High priced reserve or aged NZ Sauvignon’s can be almost oily and dense.

Much closer to the Sancerre ideal is our own wine Waitonga Falls (on promo at €9.99). Produced not in Marlborough but around the village of Ōhau which shares the same gravel and limestone soil type as its French counterpart, Waitonga Falls is aromatically expressive and shows intense flavours of gooseberry and hints of strawberry and lime.

MUSIC TO OUR EARS Singer Grace Foley describes how the preview opening at Killarney House & Gardens proves how musical performances can enhance all occasions NATURE truly bestowed all her gifts with a smile for the preview opening of Killarney House & Gardens and music played no small a role in making this a truly memorable day.

From the strong, emotive tones of the Killarney Golf Society Choir, to the almost hauntingly rich voice of harpist and soprano Marina Cassidy and from the delightful mix of traditional airs and songs of the Killarney School of Music musicians and singers to my own singing of a diverse set of songs which I chose very carefully to suit the day.

The backdrop of the marquee created the effect of a stage but the absence of an elevated platform allowed for a very intimate performance. As a performer on the day myself, I really felt a huge connection with my audience. There was an amazing energy in the crowd and a real feeling that everyone who was there wanted to soak up every second of the day. As musicians we celebrated not only being Irish, but being proud to sing at such an historic event for the town.

It is such a beautiful thing to see and hear local musicians and singers coming together for the opening of what promises to be a place where we can all go to be inspired. Inspiration plays a huge role in the lives of those of us who are involved in the Arts and there is no shortage of it in Killarney. People from all over the world come here to experience what we are so lucky to have on our doorstep everyday.

So whether you are a painter or a singer; a poet or a dancer; a song writer or an actor; a walk through Killarney House & Gardens can open the mind, heart and soul to all that the beauty of nature can offer.

Heartfelt Cardio Screening in Killarney

DID you know that 27 people die of heart attack in Ireland every day?

The BPro Cardio Pulse-Wave screening shows you the condition of your heart and the flexibility of your arteries. The procedure is non-invasive and completely pain-free.

“The cost of an individual BPro test is €50 and although we allocate 45 minutes to all our clients, the actual procedure takes approximately 30 minutes to complete,” said a spokesperson.

“You will get a full printout of your condition, which can be given to your doctor or medical advisor.”

So what is BPro Screening? “If we cut off the oxygen to the cells in our heart...the heart muscles will begin to die, stimulating a heart attack,” said the spokesperson.

“If oxygen is cut off to the brain....the brain cells will be starved, triggering a stroke. Until recently the only way to test the condition of the arteries and to measure the arterial blood pressure was by an invasive procedure called an angiogram. Recently a new method was developed called BPro and it is faster, non-invasive, equally as accurate (99.17%) and a fraction of the cost.”

The BPro machine is a completely mobile test kit, comprising of a wrist sensor and a laptop. It can be brought to any location, including your home, organization or workplace.

“The BPro Cardio Pulse-Wave device offers the most advanced technology in the cardio screening market,” added the spokesperson.

Heartfelt Cardio Screening is a small family run partnership based in Co Tipperary.

Anna has completed the UK-based, Health Stats PWA training for clinical operators course and is a fully qualified technician. Jimmy is an agent for synergy products in Ireland and can advise on the use of all three products For further information or to make an appointment, contact Anna on 086-413 5555 or Jimmy on 086-2566 422.

Mods & Minis raise nearly €3000 for local charities LEADING children’s clothing company Mods & Minis joined forces with its customers to generate nearly €3000 for local charities.

The company has six stores throughout Munster, and each store picked a local children’s charity that would be close to the hearts of the staff.

Betty Walsh, manager of the Mods and Minis store in Deerpark Retail Park, Killarney, chose the Cashel Ward, which is the children’s unit at University Hospital Kerry as her chosen charity. The Cashel Ward is very dependent on fundraising due to the economic climate.

“Monies raised are put towards improvements being made to the Cashel Ward that will help make the environment more comfortable for sick children and their parents,” said Betty.

"We would like to thank all our customers who gave so generously to our collection. This is such a deserving charity and we know that the money raised will make a huge difference to so many sick children and their parents in Kerry."

Mods & Minis sponsored festive gift sacks for customers over the Christmas period and in exchange asked for a donation to The Cashel Ward. “The fundraiser was such a success that Mods and Minis in Killarney raised over €425 for The Cashel Ward,” added Betty.

Mods & Minis stocks a range of clothing, accessories and gifts to suit all ages from the delicate newborn to 12 years and Diesel Teen boy to 14 years. Mods & Minis has also extended its newborn range with a dedicated newborn area.

The team at Mods & Minis raised funds for the Cashel Ward at University Hospital Kerry.

In this weekly column, the clergy and members of the pastoral council offer an update on issues concerning the Church locally, nationally and globally

LIFE THROUGH THE LENS OF THE GOSPELS

JOHN 13:31-35: Judas leaves and Jesus announces that the moment has come for God’s power to be made manifest. This is unexpected at a moment of imminent betrayal. Have there been times for you when the power of God was made manifest in strange circumstances?

“I shall not be with you much longer.” Jesus announces a parting of the ways.

There are places we have to go in life where others cannot come with us.

There are places others have to go and we cannot accompany them. When have you experienced this going on alone as necessary for a fuller life for yourself, or for someone else?

Jesus proclaims love as the distinguishing characteristic of his followers. Have there been times when reaching out to others has heightened your sense of walking in the footsteps of Jesus?

Who are the individuals or communities whose love for one another and for others has been a witness to you?

John Byrne OSA

MUSINGS

JUDAS. What a tragic name. What a terrible legacy to leave behind. Yet Christ loved him and called him as one of the twelve. What motivated his betrayal?

We will never know. We pray that in his despair the Father leant in mercy and restored him to the fullness of his love. There are aspects of Judas in us all. Christ has overcome sin and death and is now glorified and what is more he has promised a share in this glory to all who believe and follow him. How do I follow him? By living out a life of loving service. By daily being a washer of feet. By this love you have for one another everyone will know that you are my disciple.

Lord, help me to love you in others each day. Help me to touch your face with mercy and kindness. Help me to overcome the barriers of ego and dislike and know that even those I find hard to love are a manifestation of your gloried Body in my world each day.

Fr Declan O’Loughlin

A WEEKLY ROUND-UP OF NEWS +

WHAT WOULD YOU REGRET IF THIS WAS YOUR LAST DAY OF LIFE? THE fine weather on Thursday may have sparked flickers of envy among those working or studying indoors as family and friends confided plans to spend the afternoon soaking up the rare rays and enjoying a spot of outdoor adventure.

All this brought out our inner Socrates and Aristotle as it prompted an outpouring of philosophical debate here in the office. There were opposing viewpoints as to whether it was more enjoyable to seize the day and bask footloose and fancy-free in the sunshine or whether doing so was all the more relaxing when work about the house or otherwise was completed.

The argument hung very much in the balance until a reference was made to a book written several years ago by an Australian palliative nurse, Bronnie Ware, recording the most common regrets people have at the end of our lives.

And, despite what you might imagine, there was no talk of bungee jumps, trips to Vegas or round-the-world jaunts.

Among the top regrets, particularly men, is 'I wish I hadn't worked so hard'.

In her observations in her a book The Top Five Regrets of the Dying, Bronnie writes of the clarity of vision that people gain at the end of their lives, and how we might learn from their wisdom. "When questioned about any regrets they had or anything they would do differently," she says, "common themes surfaced again and again."

Here are the top five regrets of the dying, as charted in the book: • I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me • I wish I hadn't worked so hard • I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings • I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends • I wish that I had let myself be happier

What would your biggest regret be if this was your last day of life?

Do you have an opinion you would like to air on the above or any other issue? Let us know your views at newsdesk@killarneyadvertiser.ie

GOOD NEIGHBOURS Brexit, or the British debate about leaving the EU, is of great concern to us. They are our nearest neighbour and our biggest market for exports. Though sometimes it can be a love/hate relationship, the bonds between our two peoples are lasting, binding and amicable. We share concerns on many matters facing Europe, the UK and Ireland, including trasde, refugees, security and sovereignty - all of which form part of the debate in the UK about EU membership ahead of their June 23 referendum.

Our Minister for Foreign Affairs is in the UK to voice the concern of the Irish Government on Brexit. The Irish government’s biggest fear is the impact on the €62bn trade partnership that exists between the two countries which could be negatively affected should the British public decide to leave the EU. The impact on Northern Ireland is also a concern.

Our government is right to be concerned. Pascal Lamy, the former Director General of the World Trade Organisation and ex-EU trade commissioner, dismissed claims by UK Justice Secretary Michael Gove that Britain would still be able to trade freely with the EU if it voted to leave.

"The notion that you exit the EU trade-wise with no price is simply a lie," he told BBC2's Newsnight. "If you are part of the European Union you belong to European single market which means you have free access to the whole 500 million consumers plus countries outside EU for which EU has negotiated privileged access for the price of them getting access to this big market. So if you're in, that's the privileges you have.

If you're out you lose these privileges, you lose preferred access to EU market which is roughly 50% of UK trade. You lose privileged access to Canada, Mexico and a series of other countries which is probably 15% more of UK trade, so you lose privileged access you have for 65% of your exports. You export less, you produce less. You have less trade, less exports and less jobs. This is something that will never work.

It's pie in the sky."

That must be a cause of great concern, not just to the UK but to us.

There is no doubt there is widespread dissatisfaction with the workings of the EU and not just in the UK. The European Union has lost popularity because it over-regulates and interferes too much in people's lives, its most senior official has admitted.

Jean-Claude Juncker, the President of the European Commission, has said that the 28-nation bloc lost "parts of its attractiveness" to ordinary citizens.

"You are right in saying the European project has lost parts of its attractiveness," he said, according to the Daily Mail. "One of the reasons that European citizens are stepping away from the European project is that we are interfering in too many domains of their private lives. And too many domains where the member states are better placed to take action and pass legislation."

His comments came in response to questions from British MPs during a session of the parliamentary assembly of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg.

While we hope Minister Flanagan’s visit is seen as helpful and not intrusive, the French far right leader Marine Le Pen is to come to Britain in the next couple of weeks to campaign for Brexit.

Ms Le Pen, whose arrival is unlikely to delight mainstream Brexiteers, like other French nationalist politicians, is a keen supporter of Brexit because she believe that it would start a chain reaction of decomposition of the European Union.

Wildlife organisations 'not opposed' to culling for deer management THE Irish Wildlife Trust said that it would be in favour of a deer management plan for the entire country. The Irish Wildlife Trust and Wild Deer Association of Ireland is calling for a 'proper' management plan for the country's deer herd, saying that it would not be opposed to culling as a last resort.

Following concerns over the culling of red deer in Killarney National Park, both organisations have been in talks recently with the National Parks & Wildlife Service (NPWS) about a forthcoming management plan for the herd in Killarney. Speaking to the Irish Farmers Journal, Pádraic Fogarty from the Irish Wildlife Trust (IWT) said that they would be in favour of a management plan for the entire country. He also said that they were not opposed to culling deer as a last resort for managing the herd, however it must be based on scientific evidence and a proper management plan.

Inspired By Danny Casey

VIEWS FROM KERRY AND AROUND THE WORLD PRICE OF MILK Cow manure is now more valuable than milk, a farmer has complained, in the latest sign of the dire situation facing the dairy sector.

Proving the old adage that where there’s muck there’s brass, Yorkshire farmer David Metcalfe said his family farm was now earning about £50,000 a year, and saving up to another £100,000, by generating electricity from slurry.

By contrast, Metcalfe Farms was losing a "considerably" greater sum of money on the milk produced from its herd of 900 dairy cows, he said, as low dairy prices meant the farm was having to sell it at a loss.

Mr Metcalfe, 51, said: "We've reached the crazy point where muck is worth more than milk and if that doesn't show the plight of British dairy farmers I don't know what does. The world milk production level is now so high that we're getting just 20p a litre which means it costs more to produce than to sell. It's a desperate situation and farmers all over the country are trying to find new ways of balancing their books."

Slurry has become a cash cow for farmers thanks to lucrative subsidies offered by the Government for green energy generation. The slurry is first turned into biogas through an anaerobic digestion plant, and can then be burnt to generate electricity. The power produced in this way qualifies for subsidies, funded by energy bill-payers, under the Government’s ‘feed in tariff’ scheme. Additional subsidies are paid for surplus electricity which is not used by the farm and is sold to the National Grid.

Mr Metcalfe said his farm profited from the scheme thanks to a joint venture with another company, JFS & Associates, which had paid the £1.8m cost of building the anaerobic digestion plant and gets the bulk of the subsidy income.

In return the farm then gets a minority share of the subsidies, earning it about £50,000 a year, and also buys the electricity it needs from the plant at a significantly reduced rate, saving it about £50,000 a year on its electricity bills.

In addition the processed manure leftover from the anaerobic digestion process is better quality than the original slurry, enabling the farm to halve its fertiliser costs, saving about another £50,000, Mr Metcalfe said.

Olympic torch for Rio games lit at ancient Greek site THE flame for the Olympic Games in Brazil has been lit in southern Greece.

An actor performing the role of high priestess lit the torch by using the sun's rays.

The torch will be taken by various runners on an international relay that will culminate at the opening ceremony in Rio de Janeiro on August 5.

The ritual was established 80 years ago for the Berlin Games, based on a ceremony in Ancient Olympia where games were held for more than 1,000 years.

Actor Katerina Lehou, who lit the torch, offered a mock prayer to Apollo, the old Greek god of light and music, at Thursday's ceremony.

High Court to decide on man's detention today THE High Court will decide today if a man from Holland found in a luxury Dublin apartment linked to the Kinahan organised crime gang has been unlawfully detained.

Naoufal Fassih applied to be released because he claims he is being unlawfully detained after he was refused bail last week at the District Court.

The High Court was told that a barrister was not permitted to argue last week at the District Court why the 36-year-old should be granted bail.

During that hearing, the District Court was told that Mr Fassih was wearing runners worth €800 and a special edition watch worth over €40,000.

Two other Rolex brand watches found in the apartment by gardaí were worth over €43,000, along with a false Dutch passport, a false Belgian identity card and over €12,000 in cash.

The District Court was told gardaí raided the apartment, on Baggot Street, after they linked it through intelligence to the gang.

The apartment was rented for €2,900 a month and the court heard intelligence linked gang members to it.

Mr Fassih faces six charges, including possession of false documents, immigration offences and possession of a small quantity of cannabis.

Kerry retailers called to sign up and support youth homelessness APRIL 29 will see the first national campaign of its kind in Ireland for youth homelessness. Supported by the Irish Youth Foundation (www.iyf.ie), the One for Ireland campaign will see retailers in Kerry ask customers to add €1 to their bill when they pay at the till for youth homelessness. The nationwide campaign hopes to raise one million euro for the 1,700 homeless children living in Ireland today.

One for Ireland is calling on as many shops, retailers, restaurants and coffee shops as possible to facilitate the simple mechanic in their stores on April 29.

Approximately three million transactions take place in Ireland every day so they need to secure a third of all these transactions for the campaign to be a success. The mechanic is simple - retailers will be provided with plastic barcode tags which can be inputted into the store’s epos system to the value of €1. Cashiers will then be instructed to ask every customer “Would you like to give One for Ireland?” and, if the customer says yes, they simply scan the code. Retailers will be able to see how many units of the barcode were ‘sold’ and the store can transfer this back to One for Ireland at the end of the day.

Retailers can sign up here www.oneforireland.ie/retailers Created by seven recent graduates from Trinity College, the One for Ireland initiative is supported by the Irish Youth Foundation.

All funds donated in each area will be used to improve the lives of homeless children and young people living in that specific area.

If you are a retailer and want to sign up visit www.oneforireland.ie/ retailers or call the Irish Youth Foundation or call + 353 1 676 6535.

Planning rules ‘forcing people to live like Hobbits’ PROSPECTIVE homeowners in the county are being forced to live below ground “like Hobbits” due to planning rules, it has been claimed.

Kerry County Council member Councillor Maura Healy-Rae evoked imagery of the renowned Middle Earth residents as she asked the planning authority to stop making applicants build in low ground or in hollows.

Addressing the issue at the meeting of Killarney Municipal District, Cllr Healy-Rae said it should also be ensured that floor levels are "at least three feet above the ground level around them".

Kerry County Council said the siting of houses is critical when it comes to considering visual impact on the landscape and this means there is a preference to develop houses on lower ground.

Referring to current generation

Councillor Maura Healy-Rae.

of prospective rural homeowners, Cllr Healy-Rae said: “I know of a couple who went for planning and were told their site poles were in too high and the ground they were in was too hollow. I asked the council is it the case that people will have to go underground with their houses like the Hobbits?”

WELCOME FOR WATER-MAIN REPLACEMENTS KERRY COUNTY COUNCIL and Irish Water recently announced a number of local projects.

The sum of €51,000 was allocated for the replacement of 470 metres of water main at Shronedarragh, Headford. The work is to be undertaken in the coming weeks.

The replacement of 250 metres of cast-iron pipe at Allman’s Terrace, Killarney, with

Councillor Michael Gleeson.

uPVC main will also be undertaken.

Councillor Michael

Gleeson welcomed both projects. “They will enhance the quality and reliability of the water supply to the public,” said Cllr Gleeson.

“There is also an urgent need for main replacement at Dromhumper, Mill Road, and I ask that the Council would convey the urgency of the situation to Uisce Éireann.”

NEW MUSTANG ON THE ROAD FOR the first time since it was launched in 1964, a right-hand drive Ford Mustang has arrived in Ireland.

Technical highlights

The big news for this generation of Mustang is that it has fully independent suspension all round, finally ditching the live rear axle. You’ll also find a limited-slip diff as standard.

Inside the cabin your eyes will be drawn to a row of four rather nice toggle switches. One of these gives you three choices of steering feel (Normal, Sport and Comfort) and another switch between four choices of driving mode (Normal, Sport, Track and Snow/Wet). The ESP can also be set at three different levels of watchfulness – On, Off and an intermediate setting available in Track mode.

Other touches that aim to give the Mustang a more premium feel inside are the Sync 2 8” colour touch screen, the electric seats (which came with the rather luxury option of being either heated or cooled) and Track Apps with accelerometer technology.

What’s it like to drive

The designers of the new Mustang have done an exceptionally good job of disguising the big coupe’s size. It is a thoroughly good-looking car with its sharp creases and muscular haunches, but in isolation it also looks like it will be manageable on the Irish lanes. Get in and things look a little more intimidating with the huge, ridged bonnet filling your view. The driving position is good, however, with the steering wheel allowing

a decent range of adjustment for both reach and rake. The engine starts with the sort of pleasing burble you would hope for and the gearshift as you go for first feels nicely tight and precise. It’s obvious from the first few miles that there isn’t a huge difference between the steering modes and that even with the ESP left on the Mustang still feels very lively on cold tarmac.

The gear ratios are pleasingly set, so that you find yourself working the ‘box reasonably hard through all of the first four gears when you’re pushing on.

The soundtrack also changes from mellow burble into something with a real edge as it rises through the revs. Curiously although the Mustang feels quick, it also disguises its speed very well, accelerating hard out of a roundabout but then

feeling positively pedestrian at 70mph such is its cruising ability.

Heading onto the twists and turns the Mustang encourages you to push on because the front-engined rear-drive balance is fundamentally predictable and enjoyable even below the limits of grip.

Verdict

It is very appealing, because it has that most enviable of traits: character. If you liked the idea of owning a Mustang in the past then you’ll still like the new one as it’s got the same all-American charm, just with added right-hand drive convenience at ticket barriers.

Renault's Clio celebrates 25th birthday HARD to believe that time has passed so quickly, but March 29, 2016, marks the 25th anniversary of the Renault Clio arriving on our shores.

Really - it's been a quarter of a century since 'Papa and Nicole'?

It has indeed, although that famous series of adverts ended in 1998 when Nicole, played by Estelle Skornik, jilted Vic Reeves at the altar in favour of his comedy partner, Bob Mortimer. Then we had Thierry Henry and "Va Va Voom", although the rest of the car's advertising campaigns have been largely forgettable.

Debuting at the October 1990 Paris Motor Show, sales of the Clio I began in March 1991. Replacing the longlived Renault 5 hatchback.

The Clio IV, now in its fifth calendar year on sale, was a development of Renault's design chief Laurens van der Acker's DeZir concept of 2010. The IV only comes in five-door format.

The Clio III was the first car in its class to win a EuroNCAP five-star safety rating, while the Clio was also the first model to win the European Car of the Year award twice: the Clio I took the

52

Killarney Advertiser 22.04.16

gong in 1991 and then the Clio III repeated the success in 2006. More than 13 million have been sold globally in a quarter of a century. That's enough Clios, lined up bonnet to boot, to go around the world nearly one-and-ahalf times.

The Clio has enviable motorsport pedigree, as it has been the basis of the Clio Cup one-make championship since 1991, while various examples have been rallying too, such as the Clio Maxi and the R3T. You have to admit, the little Reggie has packed quite a lot into its 25 years on sale so far...

Land Rover To Recreate Series 1 LAND ROVER CLASSIC has announced that it will take 25 original 1948 Series 1 Land Rovers and restore them to perfect 'Reborn' factory specification. No prices have been announced yet, but even though values for good restored Series 1s have spiked well above the €30k mark, these should be a bit more affordable than the XKSS cars...

The Series 1s will be returned to the original factory at Solihull, UK and

rebuilt and restored in the very assembly area that only recently stopped making new Defenders.

Customers are of course being encouraged to get involved and come to the factory to see their 'Reborn' cars being rebuilt. That will be done with original parts of course, and original colours including RAF Blue, Dove Grey and, of course, Bronze Green.

Tractors And Cars Get In Gear For Charity

THE engines were running expectantly from midday onwards as Killarney Valley Classic & Vintage Club organised its hugely successful annual classic car and vintage charity run.

The organisers were delighted with the turnout, with 40 cars and 21 tractors getting into gear for the event.

“They took part in ideal weather conditions over very scenic routes which both started in the Travel Inn, Fossa,” said Paul O’Shea of the club.

Cars travelled through the Gap of Dunloe, and Black Valley, Blackwater onto Sneem for lunch before returning to Fossa through Moll's Gap. Tractors took a shorter route out to Glenflesk, Lough Guitane and Muck-

ross before returning to Fossa after some refreshments were served in the Men's Shed in Killarney.

“When both runs returned to the Travel Inn, refreshments were served whilst the participants were entertained by musicians from the Killarney School of Music,” said Tom Leslie, Killarney Valley Classic & Vintage. “Killarney Valley Classic & Vintage would like to thank all the participants who took part, the motorcycle marshals who ensured traffic ran smoothly, Killarney Men's Shed, Killarney School of Music and the Travel Inn, Fossa, and all who helped in ensuring a very successful event that was enjoyed by all.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Kerry Clubs Urged To Enter Aviva Club Of The Year JUNIOR football clubs across Kerry are being urged to submit themselves for this year’s Aviva Club of the Year Award. Republic of Ireland manager Martin O’Neill launched the search for Ireland’s top club for 2016 at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin.

The competition is open to all football clubs across the country. Eight clubs will be shortlisted for the award, two from each category. Each will receive €1,500 and the overall winner of the Aviva Club of the Year will be given €5,000 for their club.

This could make a massive difference to a club in Kerry. Even to get shortlisted for the last eight will earn a club €1,500, which could really help a club develop. If there’s one thing you can see in recent years it shows that you don’t have to be a big club or winning trophies to win Club of the Year, this is about rewarding teams off the field. So no matter how big or small your achievements are you should enter, because if you are doing good things for your club this is a great way to be rewarded. It’s free and you can enter online so there is nothing to lose for clubs.

The Aviva Club of the Year is now in its 11th year and is open to any club across the country to enter free of charge online. Overall, in excess of €160,000 has been awarded to clubs country wide in recognition of their achievements on and off the pitch. Clubs can enter in one or more of the four categories; Community, Coach Education, Club Development and Participation.

Republic of Ireland manager Martin O’Neill with the winners of last year’s Aviva Club of the Year, Achill Rovers.

The top two in each category will go forward to the final round at the FAI AGM in July, when they will present to the Club of the Year judging panel. The judging panel is headed by Donal Conway, Chair of the FAI Underage Committees and includes representatives from FAI Club Development, Dublin City Council and Aviva.

The overall winning club will receive an additional top prize of €5,000 as well as the prestigious Aviva Club of the Year Trophy.

Entry to the Aviva Club of the Year is free and can be completed quickly online at www.aviva.ie/avivacoty. Entries for this year’s Aviva Club of the Year close on May 13.

In loving memory of Mary O’Riordan late of Ballydribbeen, Killarney whose birthday occurs on the 21st of April.

Someone beyond the sunset, Where loved ones never die, You sleep in a beautiful garden, Beneath a golden sky, Your needs in life were simple, Your love for us was true, As long as we were happy, You were happy too.

You were always there when we needed you, No task too great or small, With willing hands and a loving heart, For us you did it all, You left us golden memories, Your love is still a guide, Although we cannot see you, You are always by our side, A loving nature and a heart of gold, These are the memories we will always hold.

A birthday wish I send today, But not on a card the usual way, It’s written in gold on a cloud above, And sent to you with all my love.

Love always Rita, John, Lisa and Leanne. xxxxx

Miss us a little- but not for long And not with your head bowed low, Remember the love we once shared, Miss us- but let us go.

When you are lonely and sick of heart, Go to your friends that we know, And bury your sorrows in doing good works, Miss us- but let us go.

The gates of heaven opened as wide as they could go God called His angels over and put them in a row There is a special man arriving so guide him all the way I’ll be waiting in my garden because this is where he’ll stay.

Killarney RFC

Munster Junior XV V Kerry Junior XV Selection: Our new grounds in Aghadoe was the setting on a mostly sunny but bitterly cold spring day. Munster ran out comprehensive winners as expected yet the Kerry side who failed to register a score gave them plenty to think about right to the final whistle. Match referee Declan Fuller did a very fair job in a lively encounter which was more like a cup game than a challenge. Well done to Ger Moynihan and his groundsmen for having the pitch in great shape and thanks to Luke O’Sullivan for his hard work. Teams repaired to Killarney Avenue for stew and sustenance, however we were to be disappointed by a poor Munster Senior display against the mighty men from the West.

Minis End of Season: Next Saturday, our minis will hold our final training session for the season as well as our famous end of season party and medal/award presentation at our pitches at Aghadoe. This has been a very busy year for the minis with the weather wreaking havoc on our season. However due to the hard work of the coaches and coordinators, we have managed to miss very few training sessions across the season.

The weather put paid to most blitzes, particularly since November. However the minis have really developed their skills and they want to show off their skills, next Saturday, to their families.

We will have a few matches followed by a party and would ask parents to bring along some goodies on the day - buns, sandwiches, crisps etc if at all possible. For any details, contact Minis Coordinator Liam Murphy on 087-4145662 and keep posted to our facebook page.

Killarney Golf and Fishing Club Men’s

Club Captain Liam Hartnett wishes to advise that he has selected the following very worthy causes as being the beneficiaries of the proceeds of his forthcoming “Captain’s Charity Day” which is due to be played on Mahony’s Point on Sunday the 1st of May. The charities that will jointly benefit will be, the “Make a Wish Ireland” foundation, and the ‘Rockmount Centre’ in Kilgarvan, whereas we are all familiar with the Make a Wish Ireland” charity, the “Rockmount Centre” is less well known, Liam advises that it is a day care centre for persons who are in the early stages of either Dementia or Alzheimer’s Disease, a charity which is very dear to his heart. A teams of 4 event with 2 scores per hole to count, will cost €120 per team, and Liam is urging all Gent’s, both members and non-members alike, to become involved in entering a team, a full time-sheet will garner no less that €6,000 for the charities, and of course, there will also be the raffle for some fantastic prizes to embellish this great sum. The most interesting fact about this fundraising event is that it will be the very first Club event to incorporate play on the newly refurbished greens on the 4th and 13th holes and the new tee boxes on the 4th and 14th holes, this, on its own, should guarantee a full time-sheet.

Boy’s junior Golf Captain Liam was a spectator at the “Fred Daly” junior singles event, played at Newcastle West course on Sunday last, the 17th of April, Liam witnessed a most spirited performance by our Killarney boys, who were very narrowly edged out by the very fancied Ballybunion team. Niall McCarthy was beaten by 2/1 in the top match, Luke Walsh won match number two by a margin of 4/3, Brian English was beaten by 2/1, Conor Clancy was beaten on the 18th green

and the final match was won by Luke Sweeney by a margin of 3/2. Liam was fulsome in his praise for our boy’s standard of play, and this is in no small way due to the coaching and encouragement that they most willingly receive from our Club Professional David Keating and his assistant professionals, as well as the junior boys club representatives of Ned Brosnan and John Curran.

Singles March-play Qualifier Played on Mahony’s Point Sunday the 17th April. This very keenly contested event attracted no less than 147 competitors, with the top 62 to qualify to join those already pre-qualified being the Captain, Liam Hartnett, and last year’s winner, Dermot Roche.

Results 1st Joe Hartnett (11) with 42 points, 2nd Mike Howard (9) with 41 points, 3rd Seamus Doheny (21) with 41 points, 4th Mark Bowe (6) with 41 points, 5th Tony Walsh (19) with 41 points, Best Gross Donal Considine with 36 points Category 2 Fergal O’Shea (8) with 39 points Category 3 Pat Favier (15) with 39 points Category 4 John Twomey with 40 points.

Joe Hartnett, the winner with 42 points laid the foundation for his great score with an incredible front nine of 25 points, Joe was three under par for the 6 holes 4th to the 9th which was a great score on any day.

The subsequent draw which was conducted by Men’s Committee Members, none of whom, just co-incidentally, are involved in the ‘matchplay’ for one reason or another, has thrown up some very interesting matches, Club Captain Liam is pitted against Fossa Golf Society Captain John O’Mahony, Ger Linehan is opposed by his foursome’s partner John O’Shea, the holder Dermot Roche plays Seamus Doheny, in-form Bernard O’Shea takes on Enda Prendergast and the clash of the titans must be the game between Donal Considine and Mark Tuite.

Sunday 24th Competition ‘Arbutus Cup’ singles stableford on Killeen. This is the third occasion that the Arbutus Cup has been re-scheduled for, and it is very much hoped that it will prove ‘third time lucky’ for the staging of this competition for one of the most historic cups in the Club cabinet, it was first played for in 1940 and the winner on that occasion was a J O’Brien, in those day’s it was an “open” competition.

Time sheet will run from 7.30am to 2.30pm and will be via the usual Club on-line system.

Prize presentation and Club information evening The next scheduled prize presentation evening has been set for Friday 29th of April, with an expected start time of 7.00pm this will be pre-ceded by the next of the Club information evenings which will be presented, once again,

by Club Secretary Manager Cormac Flannery, due to start at 6.00pm and it is hoped that there will be a good attendance of our members to once again partake in this question and answer session.

Results: Denny Premier A Mastergeeha 1-1 Killarney Athletic In a game Athletic controlled for large

parts we took it to the home from the first whistle playing nice team football and were rewarded with a Chris O’Meara goal 10 minutes from half time.

Indeed, these are not the first All-Ireland medals they have won and they were part of a very successful relay team who won All-Ireland relay medals in the past. Well done to all.

Workmen’s Rowing Club

Training News Training continues as usual for all our under-age and adults as per coaches texts. Beginners rowing, U14 and U15 takes place at Reen Pier, Ross Castle every Saturday at 10am.

Remember, you can take up rowing at any age, so all beginners, young and not so young, can come along to speak to our experienced coaches and get a feel for the sport. Whether you would like to row for pleasure or competition, Workmen’s Rowing Club will welcome you at Reen Pier, Ross Castle. We train in the traditional Killarney Sixes, coastal boats, sliding and Olympic Sculling Boats. In wintertime we focus on indoor gym training if conditions for on-thewater training are unsuitable, and we compete in Indoor Rowing Championships. From spring we train as much as possible on the water, and compete in various regattas both within Kerry and further afield. For further information regarding Beginners Rowing you can call Mary Burns on 086 8098182.

Upcoming Events Our next event is the Schools Regatta which takes place at O’Brien’s Bridge Limerick , this Sunday 24th April. It’s a wonderful regatta where athletes row to represent their schools, and this very often means that members from different clubs get to row together in different races, from J14 right up to U23. Of course this leads to its own challenges and enjoyment, and we wish all taking part the very best of luck. Many thanks to our coaches for facilitating this event for all our rowers and their schools, and to the schools themselves for entering our rowers in the Schools Regatta.

The month of May will bring more events to our Rowing Calendar, with Lee Regatta being held on May 14th, and Castleconnell Sprint Regatta on 21st May. For a full list of upcoming rowing events, please visit www.rowingire-

The week in sport | Deadline Tuesday 5.30pm | Sports Editor Eamonn Fitzgerald

Kerry and Dublin in Allianz League Final Showdown ALL roads lead back to Croke Park for Kerry football fans on Sunday next when the Kingdom travel to headquarters to take on the All Ireland champions, Dublin, this time in the Allianz League Division 1 final. It is Kerry’s first League final since 2009 when they defeated Derry having been defeated by the same county in the previous year’s final and of course 2009 will be fondly remembered as a year when Kerry went on to complete the double with victory over Cork in that year’s All Ireland final. It is hard to believe that we have to go all the way back to 1987 for the last meeting between Kerry and the Dubs in a League final and on that occasion a star studded Kerry side were beaten on a 1-11 to 0-11 scoreline.

We did not know it at the time maybe, but that defeat was the beginning of the end for the greatest team ever to grace Croke Park.

It will be interesting to see how both managers will approach Sunday’s showdown. Will there be a bit of shadow boxing ahead of the championship or will one or both sides want to lay down a marker ahead of a possible championship meeting in August? Dublin have put together an extraordinary run of victories in the both League and Championship and they now stand one game away from achieving a four-in-a-row of League titles, a feat last achieved by Kerry from

1971 to 1974. Kerry for their part will not want to concede further ground to their opponents given that Dublin have had the upper hand in Championship meetings between the sides in the last few years and no doubt the Kingdom will want to head into a seven weeks break before the Munster Championship in a positive frame of mind.

While Dublin have been steamrolling all before them en route to the final, Kerry have been quietly impressive themselves putting together a run of six League victories on the trot culminating in a rather facile victory over Roscommon in the semi final and Eamonn Fitzmaurice and his management team must have been on tender hooks this last weekend with all their squad involved in the various Club Championships on Saturday last.

James O’Donoghue and Anthony Maher are back doing gym work and they are the only long-term injuries but Johnny Buckley remains a doubt having picked up an injury against Roscommon in the semi-final, otherwise Eamonn Fitzmaurice and his management team’s biggest task is who to leave out of the 26 man match day squad for Croker.

Sunday’s encounter promises to be another epic battle between these ageold rivals and hopefully, when the dust settles, Kerry will have gained their 20th League title.

TICKET ARRANGEMENTS FOR SUNDAY’S FINAL

KERRY CRUISE INTO MUNSTER MINOR FOOTBALL SEMI-FINAL

Kerry cruised to victory in the first defence of their Electric Ireland Munster and All-Ireland titles at Dungarvan’s Fraher Field on Wednesday evening last and the result was every bit as comprehensive as the final scoreline of 2-21 to 1-2 would suggest.

From the moment young David Clifford pointed his side in front within 13 seconds of the start there was never the slightest hint of an upset and while debutant manager Peter Keane and his backroom team will be pleased to get an outing under their belt, it is debatable if they will have learned very much from this encounter against a game but limited Waterford side but Keane will no doubt be pleased with the scoring return of 2-17 from play. Kerry will now play Clare in the semi final on May 11th at a Clare venue.

Gneeveguilla came out fighting in the second half and scores from Don and Mike Murphy narrowed the gap.

Listry v Moyvane Junior Championship Sunday 17th April in Listry Final score Moyvane 2-12 Listry 1-11 Listry hosted Moyvane in the 1st round of the Junior Championship on Sunday 17th April. Moyvane started brightly with Colin Enright impressive at corner forward scoring 4 1st half points. Damian Clifford kept Listry in touch with 3 pointed frees.

Midfielder Gary O’ Sullivan added 2 points. Martin Stack goaled for Moyvane midway through the half before Ronan Buckley found the net for Listry to leave the half time score 1-9 to 1-7 in favour of Moyvane. Listry started the 2nd half with a pointed free from distance from Damian Clifford. Moyvane regained control around the middle of the field and a goal from Diarmuid Leahy put Moyvane in control. 2 pointed frees from Moyvane Captain Aidan Keane pushed Moyvane further ahead before late points from Ronan Buckley and Gary O’Sullivan brought Listry back to 4 points down before time ran out.

Seniors Our seniors made the trip to Dromid on Sunday for the first round of the newly formed Junior Premier Championship.

Played in lovely sunshine, the game started lively with scores aplenty, Dromid kicked the opening point, Donald O’Sullivan replied with a free. Lorcan Daly and Matthew Rennie kicked further points and it was 4pts to 3pts after 15 minutes. Then on 18 minutes Fossa hit the front when Paudie Clifford rattled the Dromid net after excellent work by Fintan Coffey, Tadgh O’ Shea added two further points but ominously Dromid had the last couple scores of the half to leave the half-time score Fossa 1-05, Dromid 0-08. Fossa would have been happy enough at this stage because they had the aid of the wind in the second half, however Dromid were quick off the mark and put over two points before they struck for a crucial goal on 8 minutes.

Donald O’ Sullivan had a free and Tadgh O’ Shea put over an excellent long range effort to keep us in touch but in truth Fossa struggled to get any foothold in the game thereafter, Dromid showed all their experience at this level and they worked hard to close out the game and limited Fossa to shoot from distance, Lorcan Daly did kick two brilliant long range points but we never got close to scoring the goal that was needed. Colin Myers was very solid in goals, our defence and midfield worked hard to contain the waves of Dromid attacks and Tadgh O’ Shea and Lorcan Daly put in a great shift up front but the forwards got little change overall from the home defence, especially in the second half. They now face Lispole in Fossa on Saturday evening next at 6.30 pm in the first round of the Junior Championship.

Boys U16 East Kerry League Div 1B ROUND 4 On Monday evening our U-16’S headed to Cordal to take on a strong Scart/Cordal outfit. Final score Scart/Cordal 2-9 Fossa 4-10 Boys U14 County League Div 2A ROUND 3 On Wednesday evening Fossa were well beaten by a slick Ballymac U14 team with underfoot conditions very soft it was always going to favour the much stronger away team. Final score Fossa 1-07 Ballymac 7-8.

Boys U12 County League Div 2A and 2B ROUND 3 Fossa under 12 black team had a great battle with Ardfert on Sunday evening.

Overall Fossa were unlucky on the night and their mentors were more than happy with the effort put in by our boys. Final score Fossa 4-07 Ardfert 4-09. On a lovely evening for football Fossa under 12 red team put in a great shift against a strong Ardfert team. A very entertaining game saw both sides exchange scores throughout the game, with the best score coming from Luke Murphy, a goal Robbie Keane would have been proud of. Jack

Cronin was superb in goals, Finn Kennelly was very industrious and up front Tom Cahillane chipped in with some fine scores.

Final score Fossa 4-08 Ardfert 5-07.

U-10 Boys Fossa under 10 boys had their first outing of the year to Cromane on Sunday for a blitz in which Glenbeigh Glencar, Beaufort, Cromane and Fossa took part.

In the opening game Fossa won against Glenbeigh Glencar. However they then lost a close game to Cromane by a goal and were also beaten by a stronger Beaufort team in the final group game.

Fossa met Glenbeigh Glencar in the B final but couldn’t repeat the win from earlier in the day. Despite this the Fossa boys showed plenty of skill and determination and most importantly had an enjoyable afternoon.

Well done to the players and mentors.

U-8 Boys Fossa under 8 boys made the long trip to Dromid on Sunday to play Dromid under 8’S during half time of the senior game.

The Fossa boys gave a fantastic account of themselves with some great points and goals scored by Fossa, supported by some fantastic defensive play. Standing out for Fossa were Fionn Doyle, Jack Hallisey and Dylon O’Meara. All the boys were a credit to the club and showed the seniors how it should be done!! A big thank you to everyone involved.

Ladies Football The U-16 ladies have played two games in Division 1 County league to date.

Their first game was at home vs Laune Rangers. The teams were tightly matched in the first half, but after the interval, Fossa dominated the second half which resulted in a comprehensive win for the Fossa girls.

The U-16 ladies were away to Rathmore this week.

As always, there is never much between these two very competitive teams.

Spectators weren’t disappointed as both teams played tough competitive football.

The game ended in a draw, Rathmore 2-11 to Fossa 1-14.

No under 16 game this coming week.

Editor’s View Lighting the way for sports stars of the future THE flame for the Olympic Games in Brazil was lit in Greece this week, turning many of our thoughts to the big event in Rio in August.

Closer to home, of course, there was no shortage of talented athletes out in force in Killarney National Park on Wednesday as almost 1,400 students and teachers crossed the finish line after completing the AIB Schools Fitness Challenge.

The exuberant participants were delighted to seize their opportunity to chat with their sporting heroes, Kerry football stars Colm Cooper and James O’Donoghue and 2016

Olympic hopefuls Niall Tuohy and Jessie Barr (2012 Olympian).

St Brendan’s College along with Killarney Valley AC hosted the event with support from AIB and it was fantastic to see the enthusiasm shown by primary and secondary school pupils and teachers.

All money raised on the day goes towards funding the Killarney Community MicroTrack Project which will bring a top-class outdoor sporting arena to the town.

Round Of Applause For David And Rotary Youth Leadership Participants

Question I’ve been invited to take part in the JobPath programme.

What can I expect from the programme? Can I keep my social welfare payment?

Answer JobPath is a new employment activation programme that is intended to help jobseekers find and retain full-time employment. The Department of Social Protection selects clients for JobPath on a random basis. You cannot apply to go on JobPath.

Supports from JobPath are aimed at people who are long-term unemployed and people who are newly unemployed but who may need intensive support to find work.

If you are selected for JobPath you will be referred to a JobPath company. There are two companies - Seetec and Turas Nua. You will be assigned to a personal adviser who will assess your skills, work experience and work goals. The adviser will draw up a Personal Progression Plan with you which will include a series of activities and actions designed to help you get a job. These might include work experience, training and other relevant supports. You will be given career advice and helped with CV and interview preparation. You can also get support and advice about starting your own business.

John O'Sullivan (President of Rotary Club), David Leen (winner of the Killarney Rotary Youth Leadership competition), Sheila Kingston and Tom Leslie, middle, Paul Brosnan, Grainne Dineen, Nicole Riordan, Shole Koschan, Chelsea Coffey, Aldine Murphy, Sarah Finnan, Sadhbh Ni Chathasaigh and Sean Houlihan, Precious Akilapa, Pierce O'Meara, Shane O'Sullivan, Donagh O'Leary and Page Fitzpatrick, Back, Ciara Irwin Foley, Angela O'Connor, Katie O'Connell, Grace O'Neill, Con Keane and Roisin Moore.

You keep your jobseeker's payment while on JobPath. Generally the programme lasts for a year (52 weeks). If you find a job the Jobpath company will continue to work with you while you are in employment for up to a year. It will give particular support during the first few weeks of employment.

Depending on local arrangements, while you are on JobPath you may sign on for your jobseeker's payment less often than at present, or in some situations you may not have to sign on at all.

HIS impressive leadership skills earned David Leen a coveted Rotary Ireland award this week. David, a student at the Intermediate School Killorglin, won the Killarney Rotary Club Youth Leadership prize on Wednesday.

He was among some of Kerry’s brightest and best second-level students who were rewarded for their participation in the prestigious competition.

Youngsters from Killarney schools St Brigid’s Presentation Secondary School, Killarney Community College and St Brendan’s College along with Milltown Presentation Secondary School and the Intermediate School Killorglin were out in force at the Killarney Rotary Club lunch at The

Malton where they were presented with certificates by Killarney Rotary President John O’Sullivan.

The students shone at the Killarney interviews for the Rotary Ireland Youth Leadership competition, organised at local level in early November by Tom Leslie and Conor Griffin of Killarney Rotary Club.

“The interviews took place in The Malton Hotel over three nights in November,” said Tom Leslie.

“It is a great initiative and in the past we have had three local winners representing Kerry at national level.”

Killarney Rotary President John O’Sullivan congratulated all involved in the 32-county competition.

Lynes of Killarney offer perfect school uniform saving plan NOW is the time to start saving for that all-important school uniform.

The good news is that Lynes of Killarney offer you the opportunity to do just that.

Why not call into the shop or give the team a call as to how you can enjoy the benefits of its school uniform saving scheme?

The cost of going back to school can seem a little daunting the closer you get to September so now is the ideal time to make plans. “Many families have benefited by joining our savings club as it is a yearround service,” according to the team. “We stock all school uniforms, primary and secondary.”

‘Already Missing The Magic Of Kerry’ The Rolls Royce Dawn on the Ring of Kerry PICTURE: BBC

ROLLING into town for the weekend, Top Gear presenters Chris Evans and Matt Le Blanc and their crew proved a huge hit with the people of Killarney and Kerry – and the county in turn won the duo’s hearts.

The enjoyed pints of Guinness, met GAA players and crashed a hen party as well as zooming along the Wild Atlantic Way in eye-catching RollsRoyce cars.

The popular BBC show’s crew selected picturesque Kerry to pit a classic Rolls Royce Corniche against the modern Rolls Royce Dawn and they certainly weren’t disappointed, with the spectacular sunshine mirroring the bright smiles of welcome on the faces of the locals they met.

The motoring show has a global viewership of 350 million and the shoot will be an invaluable showcase for Kerry and the Wild Atlantic Way, according to tourism experts. “The publicity value of a production like Top Gear is incalculable – it is a

superb way of highlighting Kerry and the Wild Atlantic Way to millions of people across Britain, inspiring them to put Ireland on their holiday ‘wish list’ for 2016,” said Vanessa Markey, Tourism Ireland’s head of Britain.

Friends star Matt LeBlanc revealed he even enjoyed his first Guinness while in Kerry while Chris Evans praised the landscape: "We had the Rolls Royce Dawn and one of the most beautiful backdrops in the world, so that's why we came." He also tweeted that one of the routes he covered was the best road he ever had driven on.

The Top Gear crew visited Ladies View, Killarney town, Kenmare, Gallarus GAA pitch and Dingle town.

Chris Evans posted photographs of the road trip on his Twitter account, accompanying them with such delighted comments as: "Another gem from Ireland Top Gear shoot.

Already missing the magic" and "Best road I've ever driven on. Had no idea it existed. A great great day."

TOP GEAR VISIT A HUGE BOOST FOR TOWN AND COUNTY KILLARNEY and Kerry owe “a huge debt of gratitude” to BBC show Top Gear’s location scout, according to Killarney Chamber of Tourism & Commerce president Kate O’Leary.

Kate noted that the press and social media coverage was invaluable on the tourism promotion front. “There was incredible social media reach and radio coverage not to mention the TV coverage and more to come,” said Kate.

“Chris Evans was effusive in his praise for the road and the scenery. God was looking down on us with the weather for the shoot.

“The benefits of this are immeasurable and, added to the Star Wars coverage, it seems Kerry is, as we always knew, ‘Nirvana’, to quote Chris Evans.”

The show runs on Saturday and Sunday in Rathmore Community Centre at 8pm.

Final rehearsals for what is set to be a riveting production are taking place this week. “The dedication and hard work put in by so many people over the past

few weeks is testament to the mark Patrick O'Connor has left behind. People are truly moved by his story and sacrifice. Telling history has been a moving and humbling journey,” added Aidan.

Fire Fighters Battle Blaze In Tomies Wood Area THE National Parks & Wildlife Service (NPWS) advised the public to stay away from the western area of Killarney National Park, near Tomies Wood, where fire fighters were battling a blaze yesterday The NPWS of the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht urged the public to stay away both for their own safety and also to ensure that they do not impede the work of the emergency services.

A request was made to the Air Corps to help fire fighters in their attempts to extinguish the fire.

Speaking on Thursday morning, the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Heather Humphreys said: “I am informed that every effort is being made by my staff and the emergency services to get the fire at Killarney National Park under control.

“My Department is monitoring developments closely and our staff on the ground are liaising directly with the fire services who are dealing with the situation.

“I would ask members of the public to adhere to the advice to avoid the western side of the Park near Tomies Wood.”

In April of last year, the Air Corps was drafted in to assist with efforts to minimise damage to Killarney National Park from what was described as one of the worst-ever blazes to break out in the confines of the 26,000-hectare Unesco biosphere reserve.

President pays tribute to Sir Roger Casement

A scene from the State commemoration for Sir Roger Casement at the historic landing site on Banna Strand. PICTURES: DOMNICK WALSH

THE President of Ireland, Michael D Higgins, was in Kerry on Thursday where he led a day of commemorations for Sir Roger Casement.

Describing him as a great Irish patriot and one of the 20th century's great humanitarians, the President laid a wreath at the monument dedicated to his role in the 1916 Rising beside Banna Strand and also at a State ceremony overlooking the sea where Casement arrived in a German U-boat.

Thousands of people gathered and were perched at every possible vantage point on the dunes.

President Higgins said the centenary is a chance to engage with the fundamental questions he raised about power and human rights, the rights of communities and indigenous peoples and foreign policy and international trade rules.

"It is only now, despite the pioneering humanitarianism of such as Casement, that the degradation of indigenous peoples has grew into a central issue in human rights discourse," he said.

Casement was hanged in Pentonville Prison, London, on August 3, 1916 after being found guilty of treason. His remains were returned to Ireland in 1965.

After years working for Britain's foreign service, and exposing abuses in rubber plantations run

by Belgium's King Leopold II in Congo, he was knighted.

In 1914 he exposed similar human rights issues in Brazil. At the same time was a member of the Irish Volunteers and helped in the Howth gun running of that year.

After spending 18 months in Germany while the First World War raged, he travelled on U19 under Captain Raimund Weissbach to rendezvous with The Aud, a ship carrying 20,000 guns to Kerry for the Rising.

The link-up did not go as planned and Casement came ashore at Banna with Captain Robert Monteith and Daniel Bailey on Good Friday, April 21.

The Aud was intercepted by the British Navy and was scuttled by its captain, Karl Spindler, off Cork.

Casement was arrested in McKenna's Fort near Banna suffering from the affects of malaria.

His grandniece Lesley McNaughton laid a wreath in his honour at the monument near Banna before the State ceremony took place.

Standing Ovations For Singing Friar

Friar Alessandro pictured with the Killarney Friars.

Eastern Promise For Top Killarney Adventure Team KILLARNEY-BASED company Elite Event Management is poised to bring the first of its Quest Adventure Race series (previously Killarney Adventure Race) outside the Kingdom this Saturday to the famous heritage site of Glendalough in Ireland’s ancient east.

Excitement is mounting in Wicklow ahead of the inaugural Quest Glendalough, which promises to be another challenging and exciting event from the team at Elite Event Management.

There are three different routes to suit all levels of fitness: Mini 19km, Sport 41km and the Expert 57km, and all the routes showcase the unspoilt beauty of Wicklow.

The event has attracted over 1000 adventure enthusiasts from all over the country, and was already a sold-out event three months in ad-

vance. There will also be a large Kerry contingent travelling to Wicklow this weekend to take part in the race.

The Phil Cawley Show on Today FM will be broadcasting live from the Glendalough Hotel on the morning of the race, so be sure to tune in as there will be competitions, spot prizes, music and chat.

Event organiser Oliver Kirwan said “We are very excited to bring our very successful adventure race model to different parts of Ireland.”

If you missed out on registering for Quest Glendalough, don’t worry as there are two more Quest Adventure Races this year – Quest Achill on September 3 and Quest Killarney on October 1.

SOME 1100 people converged on St Mary’s Cathedral in Killarney on Sunday evening for an outstanding performance by celebrated Italian tenor Friar Alessandro. Best known as the Singing Friar from Assisi, he certainly hit all the right notes for his sizeable Irish following.

The Singing Friar, who also performed in Athlone, is as unassuming as he is supremely talented and graciously stopped to chat to fans even in the days following the event.

Killarney Advertiser caught up with Friar Alessandro and his Killarney colleagues at Killarney Friary on Tuesday morning before he headed off for Milan.

“It’s been the talk of the town and we even had two busloads travel from Cork to see him perform,” said Ann Marie O’Leary of the Franciscan Friary.

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 Awards 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.

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.

On Their Bikes For Tour De Munster ALL roads led to Kerry at the weekend as Down Syndrome Ireland’s Munster branches launched the 16th annual Tour De Munster Charity Cycle at Ballyseedy Home and Garden Centre in Tralee, on Saturday.

Tour de Munster is an annual four-day charity cycle which sees amateur cyclists cycling over 600km around Munster.

This is the seventh successive year that the national charity has been the beneficiary of popular charity cycle, which this year takes place from Thursday, August 4, to Sunday, August 7.

The 2015 cycle raised €260,000 for the charity, bringing the total raised for the Munster Branches of DSI to €1.6 million.

The aim this year is to raise a further €250,000 for DSI. Paul Sheridan, who has organised Tour de Munster since day one, said: “We are very grateful to the many businesses and organisations who have supported Tour de Munster in any way over recent years.”

Cycling legend Sean Kelly, who is an avid supporter of Tour de Munster, will once again cycle with the group.

Brian Sheehan, Kevin Donovan, Kevin Counihan, David Griffin, Ivor Ferris, Richard O'Brien and Pat Foley, all from the Mid Kerry Cruisers Team, Killorglin.

Over €66,000 Winging Its Way To Kerry Airport THE announcement this week by Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Paschal Donohoe that €66,431 has been allocated to Kerry Airport is very good news for tourism and local business.

This is part of a €1.2 million regional airport fund set to benefit Donegal, Ireland West and Waterford, as well as Kerry Airport.

The funding will be used to upgrade airside security doors, to purchase an emergency security vehicle and for 12 firefighting kits.

“Supporting regional airports has been a priority for Fine Gael as Kerry Airport and others play a vital role in ensuring connectivity for the regions.

These initial grants will enable Kerry Airport to proceed with important works to ensure that safety and security standards are maintained and enhanced,” said Kerry Fine Gael TD Brendan Griffin.

Wedding bells for Elaine and Ruairi

BY EVE KELLIHER

Bride Elaine Flanagan.

A KILLARNEY proposal led to a big day out for Elaine Flanagan and Ruairi Foley.

Kanturk native Elaine and Ruairi, from Caherciveen, were wed recently in the Ballyroe Heights Hotel in Tralee.

Elaine, the daughter of Brendan and the late Aileen Flanagan, and Ruairi, the son of Teresa McGillicuddy and Patsy Foley, exchanged vows in a civil ceremony led by registrar Mary T O’Shea.

The couple, who will reside in Firies, held their reception in the Ballyroe Heights also, following a photo-shoot at Ardfert Cathedral with wedding photographer Tara Donoghue.

The bride and groom first met in Caherciveen when Elaine was working there for a summer.

Elaine, who is a front-desk supervisor in the Lake Hotel, Killarney, and Ruairi, a deputy manager for Aldi Ireland, got engaged in December 2011 when Ruairi popped the question in Treyvaud’s Restaurant, Killarney.

Helping them organise their big day were bridesmaid Annette O’Connor and best man Kevin Kelliher.

The couple’s sons, pageboys Conor and Darren Foley, and the bride’s niece and flower girl, Katelyn O’Connor, also enjoyed their starring roles.

Very much in the couple’s thoughts on the big day was the bride’s mother, the late Aileen Flanagan.

“Having my brother, Sean Flanagan, travel from Australia with his family, and having my seven-year-old Conor walk me down the aisle as my father was too unwell to attend, was very special to me,” said Elaine.

The bride looked stunning in a dress sourced in Memories bridal boutique in Cork. “Our wedding day was so much fun and very relaxed; we just wanted it to be a big party an that’s what it was!” said Elaine.

“It was important that the kids enjoyed the occasion too as it was a special day for our boys too, so they had their own DJ for a few hours after their dinner so that they could have their own disco and dance their socks off!” said the bride.

The newlyweds enjoyed a honeymoon in Budapest.

Presidential Salute For Cathal And Amy

Happy 40th Eadaoin love Donal, Roisín & Tomás

KERRY native Cathal Griffin was delighted to get the chance to meet President Michael D. Higgins. Cathal, from Glenbeigh, was representing Down Syndrome Ireland (DSI) together with Amy Purcell, from Newbridge, Co Kildare.

President Higgins, who is a patron of Down Syndrome Ireland, exchanged views with Cathal and Amy along with DSI CEO Pat Clarke at the Irish Association for Contemporary European Studies lecture on the future of European

Union this week.

Both Cathal and Amy attended the event following their input in the organisation’s My Opinion My Vote education programme, which is a two-year course aimed at empowering people with Down syndrome through active citizenship and participation in elections. As part of the course, the two have studied the EU and visited Brussels.

Both are also members of Down Syndrome Ireland’s National Advisory Council, a nationally elect-

ed body that represents the voice of people with Down syndrome in Ireland.

Cathal said: “I like doing the My Opinion My Vote course. I do the course every Friday at the IT in Tralee. Basically it is all about politics and the politicians in Ireland and in Europe. We learn about political issues like education, employment and justice…. things like that. It is good really to know these things.”

Happy 18th Katie Lots of love from your family and friends

TIME FOR A TIPPLE In association with CarryOut Off Licence, Tralee and Muckross Rds., Killarney

New World wines that make the French connection NEW ZEALAND Sauvignon Blanc became all the rage a number of years ago. In contrast to many of the New World regions that focus on the grape such as Chile, where it produces highly acidic, crisp, floral-driven wines, New Zealand offered something a little different. The cool climate produces Sauvignon that is, in style, much closer to the wines of the Loire Valley in France, most closely to Sancerre. The primary difference between

RECIPE OF THE WEEK

the styles has usually been identified to be the weight of the wines.

Producers in Sancerre would often criticise New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc as being too heavy, lacking the light elegance of their own produce.

And in some cases that is assuredly the case. Villa Maria, for example is quite weighty and to a lesser extent so is Oyster Bay. High priced reserve or aged NZ Sauvignon’s can be almost oily and dense.

Produced not in Marlborough but around the village of Ōhau which shares the same gravel and limestone soil type as its French counterpart, Waitonga Falls is aromatically expressive and shows intense flavours of gooseberry and hints of strawberry and lime.

MUSIC TO OUR EARS Singer Grace Foley describes how the preview opening at Killarney House & Gardens proves how musical performances can enhance all occasions NATURE truly bestowed all her gifts with a smile for the preview opening of Killarney House & Gardens and music played no small a role in making this a truly memorable day.

From the strong, emotive tones of the Killarney Golf Society Choir, to the almost hauntingly rich voice of harpist and soprano Marina Cassidy and from the delightful mix of traditional airs and songs of the Killarney School of Music musicians and singers to my own singing of a diverse set of songs which I chose very carefully to suit the day.

The backdrop of the marquee created the effect of a stage but the absence of an elevated platform allowed for a very intimate performance. As a performer on the day myself, I really felt a huge connection with my audience. There was an amazing energy in the crowd and a real feeling that everyone who was there wanted to soak up every second of the day. As musicians we celebrated not only being Irish, but being proud to sing at such an historic event for the town.

It is such a beautiful thing to see and hear local musicians and singers coming together for the opening of what promises to be a place where we can all go to be inspired. Inspiration plays a huge role in the lives of those of us who are involved in the Arts and there is no shortage of it in Killarney. People from all over the world come here to experience what we are so lucky to have on our doorstep everyday.

So whether you are a painter or a singer; a poet or a dancer; a song writer or an actor; a walk through Killarney House & Gardens can open the mind, heart and soul to all that the beauty of nature can offer.

Heartfelt Cardio Screening in Killarney

DID you know that 27 people die of heart attack in Ireland every day?

The BPro Cardio Pulse-Wave screening shows you the condition of your heart and the flexibility of your arteries. The procedure is non-invasive and completely pain-free.

“The cost of an individual BPro test is €50 and although we allocate 45 minutes to all our clients, the actual procedure takes approximately 30 minutes to complete,” said a spokesperson.

“You will get a full printout of your condition, which can be given to your doctor or medical advisor.”

So what is BPro Screening? “If we cut off the oxygen to the cells in our heart...the heart muscles will begin to die, stimulating a heart attack,” said the spokesperson.

“If oxygen is cut off to the brain....the brain cells will be starved, triggering a stroke. Until recently the only way to test the condition of the arteries and to measure the arterial blood pressure was by an invasive procedure called an angiogram. Recently a new method was developed called BPro and it is faster, non-invasive, equally as accurate (99.17%) and a fraction of the cost.”

The BPro machine is a completely mobile test kit, comprising of a wrist sensor and a laptop. It can be brought to any location, including your home, organization or workplace.

“The BPro Cardio Pulse-Wave device offers the most advanced technology in the cardio screening market,” added the spokesperson.

Heartfelt Cardio Screening is a small family run partnership based in Co Tipperary.

Anna has completed the UK-based, Health Stats PWA training for clinical operators course and is a fully qualified technician. Jimmy is an agent for synergy products in Ireland and can advise on the use of all three products For further information or to make an appointment, contact Anna on 086-413 5555 or Jimmy on 086-2566 422.

Mods & Minis raise nearly €3000 for local charities LEADING children’s clothing company Mods & Minis joined forces with its customers to generate nearly €3000 for local charities.

The company has six stores throughout Munster, and each store picked a local children’s charity that would be close to the hearts of the staff.

Betty Walsh, manager of the Mods and Minis store in Deerpark Retail Park, Killarney, chose the Cashel Ward, which is the children’s unit at University Hospital Kerry as her chosen charity. The Cashel Ward is very dependent on fundraising due to the economic climate.

“Monies raised are put towards improvements being made to the Cashel Ward that will help make the environment more comfortable for sick children and their parents,” said Betty.

"We would like to thank all our customers who gave so generously to our collection. This is such a deserving charity and we know that the money raised will make a huge difference to so many sick children and their parents in Kerry."

Mods & Minis sponsored festive gift sacks for customers over the Christmas period and in exchange asked for a donation to The Cashel Ward. “The fundraiser was such a success that Mods and Minis in Killarney raised over €425 for The Cashel Ward,” added Betty.

Mods & Minis stocks a range of clothing, accessories and gifts to suit all ages from the delicate newborn to 12 years and Diesel Teen boy to 14 years. Mods & Minis has also extended its newborn range with a dedicated newborn area.

The team at Mods & Minis raised funds for the Cashel Ward at University Hospital Kerry.

In this weekly column, the clergy and members of the pastoral council offer an update on issues concerning the Church locally, nationally and globally

LIFE THROUGH THE LENS OF THE GOSPELS

JOHN 13:31-35: Judas leaves and Jesus announces that the moment has come for God’s power to be made manifest. This is unexpected at a moment of imminent betrayal. Have there been times for you when the power of God was made manifest in strange circumstances?

“I shall not be with you much longer.” Jesus announces a parting of the ways.

There are places we have to go in life where others cannot come with us.

There are places others have to go and we cannot accompany them. When have you experienced this going on alone as necessary for a fuller life for yourself, or for someone else?

Jesus proclaims love as the distinguishing characteristic of his followers. Have there been times when reaching out to others has heightened your sense of walking in the footsteps of Jesus?

Who are the individuals or communities whose love for one another and for others has been a witness to you?

John Byrne OSA

MUSINGS

JUDAS. What a tragic name. What a terrible legacy to leave behind. Yet Christ loved him and called him as one of the twelve. What motivated his betrayal?

We will never know. We pray that in his despair the Father leant in mercy and restored him to the fullness of his love. There are aspects of Judas in us all. Christ has overcome sin and death and is now glorified and what is more he has promised a share in this glory to all who believe and follow him. How do I follow him? By living out a life of loving service. By daily being a washer of feet. By this love you have for one another everyone will know that you are my disciple.

Lord, help me to love you in others each day. Help me to touch your face with mercy and kindness. Help me to overcome the barriers of ego and dislike and know that even those I find hard to love are a manifestation of your gloried Body in my world each day.

Fr Declan O’Loughlin

A WEEKLY ROUND-UP OF NEWS +

WHAT WOULD YOU REGRET IF THIS WAS YOUR LAST DAY OF LIFE? THE fine weather on Thursday may have sparked flickers of envy among those working or studying indoors as family and friends confided plans to spend the afternoon soaking up the rare rays and enjoying a spot of outdoor adventure.

All this brought out our inner Socrates and Aristotle as it prompted an outpouring of philosophical debate here in the office. There were opposing viewpoints as to whether it was more enjoyable to seize the day and bask footloose and fancy-free in the sunshine or whether doing so was all the more relaxing when work about the house or otherwise was completed.

The argument hung very much in the balance until a reference was made to a book written several years ago by an Australian palliative nurse, Bronnie Ware, recording the most common regrets people have at the end of our lives.

And, despite what you might imagine, there was no talk of bungee jumps, trips to Vegas or round-the-world jaunts.

Among the top regrets, particularly men, is 'I wish I hadn't worked so hard'.

In her observations in her a book The Top Five Regrets of the Dying, Bronnie writes of the clarity of vision that people gain at the end of their lives, and how we might learn from their wisdom. "When questioned about any regrets they had or anything they would do differently," she says, "common themes surfaced again and again."

Here are the top five regrets of the dying, as charted in the book: • I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me • I wish I hadn't worked so hard • I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings • I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends • I wish that I had let myself be happier

What would your biggest regret be if this was your last day of life?

Do you have an opinion you would like to air on the above or any other issue? Let us know your views at newsdesk@killarneyadvertiser.ie

GOOD NEIGHBOURS Brexit, or the British debate about leaving the EU, is of great concern to us. They are our nearest neighbour and our biggest market for exports. Though sometimes it can be a love/hate relationship, the bonds between our two peoples are lasting, binding and amicable. We share concerns on many matters facing Europe, the UK and Ireland, including trasde, refugees, security and sovereignty - all of which form part of the debate in the UK about EU membership ahead of their June 23 referendum.

Our Minister for Foreign Affairs is in the UK to voice the concern of the Irish Government on Brexit. The Irish government’s biggest fear is the impact on the €62bn trade partnership that exists between the two countries which could be negatively affected should the British public decide to leave the EU. The impact on Northern Ireland is also a concern.

Our government is right to be concerned. Pascal Lamy, the former Director General of the World Trade Organisation and ex-EU trade commissioner, dismissed claims by UK Justice Secretary Michael Gove that Britain would still be able to trade freely with the EU if it voted to leave.

"The notion that you exit the EU trade-wise with no price is simply a lie," he told BBC2's Newsnight. "If you are part of the European Union you belong to European single market which means you have free access to the whole 500 million consumers plus countries outside EU for which EU has negotiated privileged access for the price of them getting access to this big market. So if you're in, that's the privileges you have.

If you're out you lose these privileges, you lose preferred access to EU market which is roughly 50% of UK trade. You lose privileged access to Canada, Mexico and a series of other countries which is probably 15% more of UK trade, so you lose privileged access you have for 65% of your exports. You export less, you produce less. You have less trade, less exports and less jobs. This is something that will never work.

It's pie in the sky."

That must be a cause of great concern, not just to the UK but to us.

There is no doubt there is widespread dissatisfaction with the workings of the EU and not just in the UK. The European Union has lost popularity because it over-regulates and interferes too much in people's lives, its most senior official has admitted.

Jean-Claude Juncker, the President of the European Commission, has said that the 28-nation bloc lost "parts of its attractiveness" to ordinary citizens.

"You are right in saying the European project has lost parts of its attractiveness," he said, according to the Daily Mail. "One of the reasons that European citizens are stepping away from the European project is that we are interfering in too many domains of their private lives. And too many domains where the member states are better placed to take action and pass legislation."

His comments came in response to questions from British MPs during a session of the parliamentary assembly of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg.

While we hope Minister Flanagan’s visit is seen as helpful and not intrusive, the French far right leader Marine Le Pen is to come to Britain in the next couple of weeks to campaign for Brexit.

Ms Le Pen, whose arrival is unlikely to delight mainstream Brexiteers, like other French nationalist politicians, is a keen supporter of Brexit because she believe that it would start a chain reaction of decomposition of the European Union.

Wildlife organisations 'not opposed' to culling for deer management THE Irish Wildlife Trust said that it would be in favour of a deer management plan for the entire country. The Irish Wildlife Trust and Wild Deer Association of Ireland is calling for a 'proper' management plan for the country's deer herd, saying that it would not be opposed to culling as a last resort.

Following concerns over the culling of red deer in Killarney National Park, both organisations have been in talks recently with the National Parks & Wildlife Service (NPWS) about a forthcoming management plan for the herd in Killarney. Speaking to the Irish Farmers Journal, Pádraic Fogarty from the Irish Wildlife Trust (IWT) said that they would be in favour of a management plan for the entire country. He also said that they were not opposed to culling deer as a last resort for managing the herd, however it must be based on scientific evidence and a proper management plan.

Inspired By Danny Casey

VIEWS FROM KERRY AND AROUND THE WORLD PRICE OF MILK Cow manure is now more valuable than milk, a farmer has complained, in the latest sign of the dire situation facing the dairy sector.

Proving the old adage that where there’s muck there’s brass, Yorkshire farmer David Metcalfe said his family farm was now earning about £50,000 a year, and saving up to another £100,000, by generating electricity from slurry.

By contrast, Metcalfe Farms was losing a "considerably" greater sum of money on the milk produced from its herd of 900 dairy cows, he said, as low dairy prices meant the farm was having to sell it at a loss.

Mr Metcalfe, 51, said: "We've reached the crazy point where muck is worth more than milk and if that doesn't show the plight of British dairy farmers I don't know what does. The world milk production level is now so high that we're getting just 20p a litre which means it costs more to produce than to sell. It's a desperate situation and farmers all over the country are trying to find new ways of balancing their books."

Slurry has become a cash cow for farmers thanks to lucrative subsidies offered by the Government for green energy generation. The slurry is first turned into biogas through an anaerobic digestion plant, and can then be burnt to generate electricity. The power produced in this way qualifies for subsidies, funded by energy bill-payers, under the Government’s ‘feed in tariff’ scheme. Additional subsidies are paid for surplus electricity which is not used by the farm and is sold to the National Grid.

Mr Metcalfe said his farm profited from the scheme thanks to a joint venture with another company, JFS & Associates, which had paid the £1.8m cost of building the anaerobic digestion plant and gets the bulk of the subsidy income.

In return the farm then gets a minority share of the subsidies, earning it about £50,000 a year, and also buys the electricity it needs from the plant at a significantly reduced rate, saving it about £50,000 a year on its electricity bills.

In addition the processed manure leftover from the anaerobic digestion process is better quality than the original slurry, enabling the farm to halve its fertiliser costs, saving about another £50,000, Mr Metcalfe said.

Olympic torch for Rio games lit at ancient Greek site THE flame for the Olympic Games in Brazil has been lit in southern Greece.

An actor performing the role of high priestess lit the torch by using the sun's rays.

The torch will be taken by various runners on an international relay that will culminate at the opening ceremony in Rio de Janeiro on August 5.

The ritual was established 80 years ago for the Berlin Games, based on a ceremony in Ancient Olympia where games were held for more than 1,000 years.

Actor Katerina Lehou, who lit the torch, offered a mock prayer to Apollo, the old Greek god of light and music, at Thursday's ceremony.

High Court to decide on man's detention today THE High Court will decide today if a man from Holland found in a luxury Dublin apartment linked to the Kinahan organised crime gang has been unlawfully detained.

Naoufal Fassih applied to be released because he claims he is being unlawfully detained after he was refused bail last week at the District Court.

The High Court was told that a barrister was not permitted to argue last week at the District Court why the 36-year-old should be granted bail.

During that hearing, the District Court was told that Mr Fassih was wearing runners worth €800 and a special edition watch worth over €40,000.

Two other Rolex brand watches found in the apartment by gardaí were worth over €43,000, along with a false Dutch passport, a false Belgian identity card and over €12,000 in cash.

The District Court was told gardaí raided the apartment, on Baggot Street, after they linked it through intelligence to the gang.

The apartment was rented for €2,900 a month and the court heard intelligence linked gang members to it.

Mr Fassih faces six charges, including possession of false documents, immigration offences and possession of a small quantity of cannabis.

Kerry retailers called to sign up and support youth homelessness APRIL 29 will see the first national campaign of its kind in Ireland for youth homelessness. Supported by the Irish Youth Foundation (www.iyf.ie), the One for Ireland campaign will see retailers in Kerry ask customers to add €1 to their bill when they pay at the till for youth homelessness. The nationwide campaign hopes to raise one million euro for the 1,700 homeless children living in Ireland today.

One for Ireland is calling on as many shops, retailers, restaurants and coffee shops as possible to facilitate the simple mechanic in their stores on April 29.

Approximately three million transactions take place in Ireland every day so they need to secure a third of all these transactions for the campaign to be a success. The mechanic is simple - retailers will be provided with plastic barcode tags which can be inputted into the store’s epos system to the value of €1. Cashiers will then be instructed to ask every customer “Would you like to give One for Ireland?” and, if the customer says yes, they simply scan the code. Retailers will be able to see how many units of the barcode were ‘sold’ and the store can transfer this back to One for Ireland at the end of the day.

Retailers can sign up here www.oneforireland.ie/retailers Created by seven recent graduates from Trinity College, the One for Ireland initiative is supported by the Irish Youth Foundation.

All funds donated in each area will be used to improve the lives of homeless children and young people living in that specific area.

If you are a retailer and want to sign up visit www.oneforireland.ie/ retailers or call the Irish Youth Foundation or call + 353 1 676 6535.

Planning rules ‘forcing people to live like Hobbits’ PROSPECTIVE homeowners in the county are being forced to live below ground “like Hobbits” due to planning rules, it has been claimed.

Kerry County Council member Councillor Maura Healy-Rae evoked imagery of the renowned Middle Earth residents as she asked the planning authority to stop making applicants build in low ground or in hollows.

Addressing the issue at the meeting of Killarney Municipal District, Cllr Healy-Rae said it should also be ensured that floor levels are "at least three feet above the ground level around them".

Kerry County Council said the siting of houses is critical when it comes to considering visual impact on the landscape and this means there is a preference to develop houses on lower ground.

Referring to current generation

Councillor Maura Healy-Rae.

of prospective rural homeowners, Cllr Healy-Rae said: “I know of a couple who went for planning and were told their site poles were in too high and the ground they were in was too hollow. I asked the council is it the case that people will have to go underground with their houses like the Hobbits?”

WELCOME FOR WATER-MAIN REPLACEMENTS KERRY COUNTY COUNCIL and Irish Water recently announced a number of local projects.

The sum of €51,000 was allocated for the replacement of 470 metres of water main at Shronedarragh, Headford. The work is to be undertaken in the coming weeks.

The replacement of 250 metres of cast-iron pipe at Allman’s Terrace, Killarney, with

Councillor Michael Gleeson.

uPVC main will also be undertaken.

Councillor Michael

Gleeson welcomed both projects. “They will enhance the quality and reliability of the water supply to the public,” said Cllr Gleeson.

“There is also an urgent need for main replacement at Dromhumper, Mill Road, and I ask that the Council would convey the urgency of the situation to Uisce Éireann.”

NEW MUSTANG ON THE ROAD FOR the first time since it was launched in 1964, a right-hand drive Ford Mustang has arrived in Ireland.

Technical highlights

The big news for this generation of Mustang is that it has fully independent suspension all round, finally ditching the live rear axle. You’ll also find a limited-slip diff as standard.

Inside the cabin your eyes will be drawn to a row of four rather nice toggle switches. One of these gives you three choices of steering feel (Normal, Sport and Comfort) and another switch between four choices of driving mode (Normal, Sport, Track and Snow/Wet). The ESP can also be set at three different levels of watchfulness – On, Off and an intermediate setting available in Track mode.

Other touches that aim to give the Mustang a more premium feel inside are the Sync 2 8” colour touch screen, the electric seats (which came with the rather luxury option of being either heated or cooled) and Track Apps with accelerometer technology.

What’s it like to drive

The designers of the new Mustang have done an exceptionally good job of disguising the big coupe’s size. It is a thoroughly good-looking car with its sharp creases and muscular haunches, but in isolation it also looks like it will be manageable on the Irish lanes. Get in and things look a little more intimidating with the huge, ridged bonnet filling your view. The driving position is good, however, with the steering wheel allowing

a decent range of adjustment for both reach and rake. The engine starts with the sort of pleasing burble you would hope for and the gearshift as you go for first feels nicely tight and precise. It’s obvious from the first few miles that there isn’t a huge difference between the steering modes and that even with the ESP left on the Mustang still feels very lively on cold tarmac.

The gear ratios are pleasingly set, so that you find yourself working the ‘box reasonably hard through all of the first four gears when you’re pushing on.

The soundtrack also changes from mellow burble into something with a real edge as it rises through the revs. Curiously although the Mustang feels quick, it also disguises its speed very well, accelerating hard out of a roundabout but then

feeling positively pedestrian at 70mph such is its cruising ability.

Heading onto the twists and turns the Mustang encourages you to push on because the front-engined rear-drive balance is fundamentally predictable and enjoyable even below the limits of grip.

Verdict

It is very appealing, because it has that most enviable of traits: character. If you liked the idea of owning a Mustang in the past then you’ll still like the new one as it’s got the same all-American charm, just with added right-hand drive convenience at ticket barriers.

Renault's Clio celebrates 25th birthday HARD to believe that time has passed so quickly, but March 29, 2016, marks the 25th anniversary of the Renault Clio arriving on our shores.

Really - it's been a quarter of a century since 'Papa and Nicole'?

It has indeed, although that famous series of adverts ended in 1998 when Nicole, played by Estelle Skornik, jilted Vic Reeves at the altar in favour of his comedy partner, Bob Mortimer. Then we had Thierry Henry and "Va Va Voom", although the rest of the car's advertising campaigns have been largely forgettable.

Debuting at the October 1990 Paris Motor Show, sales of the Clio I began in March 1991. Replacing the longlived Renault 5 hatchback.

The Clio IV, now in its fifth calendar year on sale, was a development of Renault's design chief Laurens van der Acker's DeZir concept of 2010. The IV only comes in five-door format.

The Clio III was the first car in its class to win a EuroNCAP five-star safety rating, while the Clio was also the first model to win the European Car of the Year award twice: the Clio I took the

Killarney Advertiser 22.04.16

gong in 1991 and then the Clio III repeated the success in 2006. More than 13 million have been sold globally in a quarter of a century. That's enough Clios, lined up bonnet to boot, to go around the world nearly one-and-ahalf times.

The Clio has enviable motorsport pedigree, as it has been the basis of the Clio Cup one-make championship since 1991, while various examples have been rallying too, such as the Clio Maxi and the R3T. You have to admit, the little Reggie has packed quite a lot into its 25 years on sale so far...

Land Rover To Recreate Series 1 LAND ROVER CLASSIC has announced that it will take 25 original 1948 Series 1 Land Rovers and restore them to perfect 'Reborn' factory specification. No prices have been announced yet, but even though values for good restored Series 1s have spiked well above the €30k mark, these should be a bit more affordable than the XKSS cars...

The Series 1s will be returned to the original factory at Solihull, UK and

rebuilt and restored in the very assembly area that only recently stopped making new Defenders.

Tractors And Cars Get In Gear For Charity

THE engines were running expectantly from midday onwards as Killarney Valley Classic & Vintage Club organised its hugely successful annual classic car and vintage charity run.

The organisers were delighted with the turnout, with 40 cars and 21 tractors getting into gear for the event.

“They took part in ideal weather conditions over very scenic routes which both started in the Travel Inn, Fossa,” said Paul O’Shea of the club.

Cars travelled through the Gap of Dunloe, and Black Valley, Blackwater onto Sneem for lunch before returning to Fossa through Moll's Gap. Tractors took a shorter route out to Glenflesk, Lough Guitane and Muck-

ross before returning to Fossa after some refreshments were served in the Men's Shed in Killarney.

“When both runs returned to the Travel Inn, refreshments were served whilst the participants were entertained by musicians from the Killarney School of Music,” said Tom Leslie, Killarney Valley Classic & Vintage. “Killarney Valley Classic & Vintage would like to thank all the participants who took part, the motorcycle marshals who ensured traffic ran smoothly, Killarney Men's Shed, Killarney School of Music and the Travel Inn, Fossa, and all who helped in ensuring a very successful event that was enjoyed by all.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Kerry Clubs Urged To Enter Aviva Club Of The Year JUNIOR football clubs across Kerry are being urged to submit themselves for this year’s Aviva Club of the Year Award. Republic of Ireland manager Martin O’Neill launched the search for Ireland’s top club for 2016 at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin.

The competition is open to all football clubs across the country. Eight clubs will be shortlisted for the award, two from each category. Each will receive €1,500 and the overall winner of the Aviva Club of the Year will be given €5,000 for their club.

This could make a massive difference to a club in Kerry. Even to get shortlisted for the last eight will earn a club €1,500, which could really help a club develop. If there’s one thing you can see in recent years it shows that you don’t have to be a big club or winning trophies to win Club of the Year, this is about rewarding teams off the field. So no matter how big or small your achievements are you should enter, because if you are doing good things for your club this is a great way to be rewarded. It’s free and you can enter online so there is nothing to lose for clubs.

The Aviva Club of the Year is now in its 11th year and is open to any club across the country to enter free of charge online. Overall, in excess of €160,000 has been awarded to clubs country wide in recognition of their achievements on and off the pitch. Clubs can enter in one or more of the four categories; Community, Coach Education, Club Development and Participation.

Republic of Ireland manager Martin O’Neill with the winners of last year’s Aviva Club of the Year, Achill Rovers.

The top two in each category will go forward to the final round at the FAI AGM in July, when they will present to the Club of the Year judging panel. The judging panel is headed by Donal Conway, Chair of the FAI Underage Committees and includes representatives from FAI Club Development, Dublin City Council and Aviva.

The overall winning club will receive an additional top prize of €5,000 as well as the prestigious Aviva Club of the Year Trophy.

Entry to the Aviva Club of the Year is free and can be completed quickly online at www.aviva.ie/avivacoty. Entries for this year’s Aviva Club of the Year close on May 13.

Birthday Remembrance o’Riordan

In loving memory of Mary O’Riordan late of Ballydribbeen, Killarney whose birthday occurs on the 21st of April.

Someone beyond the sunset, Where loved ones never die, You sleep in a beautiful garden, Beneath a golden sky, Your needs in life were simple, Your love for us was true, As long as we were happy, You were happy too.

You were always there when we needed you, No task too great or small, With willing hands and a loving heart, For us you did it all, You left us golden memories, Your love is still a guide, Although we cannot see you, You are always by our side, A loving nature and a heart of gold, These are the memories we will always hold.

A birthday wish I send today, But not on a card the usual way, It’s written in gold on a cloud above, And sent to you with all my love.

Love always Rita, John, Lisa and Leanne. xxxxx

19th anniversary Moriarty

8th anniversary Horgan

In loving memory of Mossie and Betty Horgan, 118 Ardshanavooley, Killarney who died 27th March 2008 and 4th May 2008.

Miss us a little- but not for long And not with your head bowed low, Remember the love we once shared, Miss us- but let us go.

For this is a journey we all must take, And each must go alone, It’s all part of the master plan, A step on the road to home.

When you are lonely and sick of heart, Go to your friends that we know, And bury your sorrows in doing good works, Miss us- but let us go.

The gates of heaven opened as wide as they could go God called His angels over and put them in a row There is a special man arriving so guide him all the way I’ll be waiting in my garden because this is where he’ll stay.

A million tears will follow him to his place of rest I’m sure you have often heard I only take the best.

A million tears did follow And a lot of hearts broken too.

Anniversary Mass on Friday 29th of April at 6.15pm in St. Mary’s Cathedral.

Killarney RFC

Munster Junior XV V Kerry Junior XV Selection: Our new grounds in Aghadoe was the setting on a mostly sunny but bitterly cold spring day. Munster ran out comprehensive winners as expected yet the Kerry side who failed to register a score gave them plenty to think about right to the final whistle. Match referee Declan Fuller did a very fair job in a lively encounter which was more like a cup game than a challenge. Well done to Ger Moynihan and his groundsmen for having the pitch in great shape and thanks to Luke O’Sullivan for his hard work. Teams repaired to Killarney Avenue for stew and sustenance, however we were to be disappointed by a poor Munster Senior display against the mighty men from the West.

Minis End of Season: Next Saturday, our minis will hold our final training session for the season as well as our famous end of season party and medal/award presentation at our pitches at Aghadoe. This has been a very busy year for the minis with the weather wreaking havoc on our season. However due to the hard work of the coaches and coordinators, we have managed to miss very few training sessions across the season.

The weather put paid to most blitzes, particularly since November. However the minis have really developed their skills and they want to show off their skills, next Saturday, to their families.

We will have a few matches followed by a party and would ask parents to bring along some goodies on the day - buns, sandwiches, crisps etc if at all possible. For any details, contact Minis Coordinator Liam Murphy on 087-4145662 and keep posted to our facebook page.

Killarney Golf and Fishing Club Men’s

Club Captain Liam Hartnett wishes to advise that he has selected the following very worthy causes as being the beneficiaries of the proceeds of his forthcoming “Captain’s Charity Day” which is due to be played on Mahony’s Point on Sunday the 1st of May. The charities that will jointly benefit will be, the “Make a Wish Ireland” foundation, and the ‘Rockmount Centre’ in Kilgarvan, whereas we are all familiar with the Make a Wish Ireland” charity, the “Rockmount Centre” is less well known, Liam advises that it is a day care centre for persons who are in the early stages of either Dementia or Alzheimer’s Disease, a charity which is very dear to his heart. A teams of 4 event with 2 scores per hole to count, will cost €120 per team, and Liam is urging all Gent’s, both members and non-members alike, to become involved in entering a team, a full time-sheet will garner no less that €6,000 for the charities, and of course, there will also be the raffle for some fantastic prizes to embellish this great sum. The most interesting fact about this fundraising event is that it will be the very first Club event to incorporate play on the newly refurbished greens on the 4th and 13th holes and the new tee boxes on the 4th and 14th holes, this, on its own, should guarantee a full time-sheet.

Boy’s junior Golf Captain Liam was a spectator at the “Fred Daly” junior singles event, played at Newcastle West course on Sunday last, the 17th of April, Liam witnessed a most spirited performance by our Killarney boys, who were very narrowly edged out by the very fancied Ballybunion team. Niall McCarthy was beaten by 2/1 in the top match, Luke Walsh won match number two by a margin of 4/3, Brian English was beaten by 2/1, Conor Clancy was beaten on the 18th green

and the final match was won by Luke Sweeney by a margin of 3/2. Liam was fulsome in his praise for our boy’s standard of play, and this is in no small way due to the coaching and encouragement that they most willingly receive from our Club Professional David Keating and his assistant professionals, as well as the junior boys club representatives of Ned Brosnan and John Curran.

Singles March-play Qualifier Played on Mahony’s Point Sunday the 17th April. This very keenly contested event attracted no less than 147 competitors, with the top 62 to qualify to join those already pre-qualified being the Captain, Liam Hartnett, and last year’s winner, Dermot Roche.

Results 1st Joe Hartnett (11) with 42 points, 2nd Mike Howard (9) with 41 points, 3rd Seamus Doheny (21) with 41 points, 4th Mark Bowe (6) with 41 points, 5th Tony Walsh (19) with 41 points, Best Gross Donal Considine with 36 points Category 2 Fergal O’Shea (8) with 39 points Category 3 Pat Favier (15) with 39 points Category 4 John Twomey with 40 points.

Joe Hartnett, the winner with 42 points laid the foundation for his great score with an incredible front nine of 25 points, Joe was three under par for the 6 holes 4th to the 9th which was a great score on any day.

The subsequent draw which was conducted by Men’s Committee Members, none of whom, just co-incidentally, are involved in the ‘matchplay’ for one reason or another, has thrown up some very interesting matches, Club Captain Liam is pitted against Fossa Golf Society Captain John O’Mahony, Ger Linehan is opposed by his foursome’s partner John O’Shea, the holder Dermot Roche plays Seamus Doheny, in-form Bernard O’Shea takes on Enda Prendergast and the clash of the titans must be the game between Donal Considine and Mark Tuite.

Sunday 24th Competition ‘Arbutus Cup’ singles stableford on Killeen. This is the third occasion that the Arbutus Cup has been re-scheduled for, and it is very much hoped that it will prove ‘third time lucky’ for the staging of this competition for one of the most historic cups in the Club cabinet, it was first played for in 1940 and the winner on that occasion was a J O’Brien, in those day’s it was an “open” competition.

Time sheet will run from 7.30am to 2.30pm and will be via the usual Club on-line system.

Prize presentation and Club information evening The next scheduled prize presentation evening has been set for Friday 29th of April, with an expected start time of 7.00pm this will be pre-ceded by the next of the Club information evenings which will be presented, once again,

by Club Secretary Manager Cormac Flannery, due to start at 6.00pm and it is hoped that there will be a good attendance of our members to once again partake in this question and answer session.

Results: Denny Premier A Mastergeeha 1-1 Killarney Athletic In a game Athletic controlled for large

parts we took it to the home from the first whistle playing nice team football and were rewarded with a Chris O’Meara goal 10 minutes from half time.

For further information regarding Beginners Rowing you can call Mary Burns on 086 8098182.

Upcoming Events Our next event is the Schools Regatta which takes place at O’Brien’s Bridge Limerick , this Sunday 24th April. It’s a wonderful regatta where athletes row to represent their schools, and this very often means that members from different clubs get to row together in different races, from J14 right up to U23. Of course this leads to its own challenges and enjoyment, and we wish all taking part the very best of luck. Many thanks to our coaches for facilitating this event for all our rowers and their schools, and to the schools themselves for entering our rowers in the Schools Regatta.

The month of May will bring more events to our Rowing Calendar, with Lee Regatta being held on May 14th, and Castleconnell Sprint Regatta on 21st May. For a full list of upcoming rowing events, please visit www.rowingire-

The week in sport | Deadline Tuesday 5.30pm | Sports Editor Eamonn Fitzgerald

Kerry and Dublin in Allianz League Final Showdown ALL roads lead back to Croke Park for Kerry football fans on Sunday next when the Kingdom travel to headquarters to take on the All Ireland champions, Dublin, this time in the Allianz League Division 1 final. It is Kerry’s first League final since 2009 when they defeated Derry having been defeated by the same county in the previous year’s final and of course 2009 will be fondly remembered as a year when Kerry went on to complete the double with victory over Cork in that year’s All Ireland final. It is hard to believe that we have to go all the way back to 1987 for the last meeting between Kerry and the Dubs in a League final and on that occasion a star studded Kerry side were beaten on a 1-11 to 0-11 scoreline.

We did not know it at the time maybe, but that defeat was the beginning of the end for the greatest team ever to grace Croke Park.

It will be interesting to see how both managers will approach Sunday’s showdown. Will there be a bit of shadow boxing ahead of the championship or will one or both sides want to lay down a marker ahead of a possible championship meeting in August? Dublin have put together an extraordinary run of victories in the both League and Championship and they now stand one game away from achieving a four-in-a-row of League titles, a feat last achieved by Kerry from

1971 to 1974. Kerry for their part will not want to concede further ground to their opponents given that Dublin have had the upper hand in Championship meetings between the sides in the last few years and no doubt the Kingdom will want to head into a seven weeks break before the Munster Championship in a positive frame of mind.

While Dublin have been steamrolling all before them en route to the final, Kerry have been quietly impressive themselves putting together a run of six League victories on the trot culminating in a rather facile victory over Roscommon in the semi final and Eamonn Fitzmaurice and his management team must have been on tender hooks this last weekend with all their squad involved in the various Club Championships on Saturday last.

James O’Donoghue and Anthony Maher are back doing gym work and they are the only long-term injuries but Johnny Buckley remains a doubt having picked up an injury against Roscommon in the semi-final, otherwise Eamonn Fitzmaurice and his management team’s biggest task is who to leave out of the 26 man match day squad for Croker.

Sunday’s encounter promises to be another epic battle between these ageold rivals and hopefully, when the dust settles, Kerry will have gained their 20th League title.

TICKET ARRANGEMENTS FOR SUNDAY’S FINAL

KERRY CRUISE INTO MUNSTER MINOR FOOTBALL SEMI-FINAL

Kerry cruised to victory in the first defence of their Electric Ireland Munster and All-Ireland titles at Dungarvan’s Fraher Field on Wednesday evening last and the result was every bit as comprehensive as the final scoreline of 2-21 to 1-2 would suggest.

From the moment young David Clifford pointed his side in front within 13 seconds of the start there was never the slightest hint of an upset and while debutant manager Peter Keane and his backroom team will be pleased to get an outing under their belt, it is debatable if they will have learned very much from this encounter against a game but limited Waterford side but Keane will no doubt be pleased with the scoring return of 2-17 from play. Kerry will now play Clare in the semi final on May 11th at a Clare venue.

Listry v Moyvane Junior Championship Sunday 17th April in Listry Final score Moyvane 2-12 Listry 1-11 Listry hosted Moyvane in the 1st round of the Junior Championship on Sunday 17th April. Moyvane started brightly with Colin Enright impressive at corner forward scoring 4 1st half points. Damian Clifford kept Listry in touch with 3 pointed frees.

Midfielder Gary O’ Sullivan added 2 points. Martin Stack goaled for Moyvane midway through the half before Ronan Buckley found the net for Listry to leave the half time score 1-9 to 1-7 in favour of Moyvane. Listry started the 2nd half with a pointed free from distance from Damian Clifford. Moyvane regained control around the middle of the field and a goal from Diarmuid Leahy put Moyvane in control. 2 pointed frees from Moyvane Captain Aidan Keane pushed Moyvane further ahead before late points from Ronan Buckley and Gary O’Sullivan brought Listry back to 4 points down before time ran out.

Seniors Our seniors made the trip to Dromid on Sunday for the first round of the newly formed Junior Premier Championship.

Played in lovely sunshine, the game started lively with scores aplenty, Dromid kicked the opening point, Donald O’Sullivan replied with a free. Lorcan Daly and Matthew Rennie kicked further points and it was 4pts to 3pts after 15 minutes. Then on 18 minutes Fossa hit the front when Paudie Clifford rattled the Dromid net after excellent work by Fintan Coffey, Tadgh O’ Shea added two further points but ominously Dromid had the last couple scores of the half to leave the half-time score Fossa 1-05, Dromid 0-08. Fossa would have been happy enough at this stage because they had the aid of the wind in the second half, however Dromid were quick off the mark and put over two points before they struck for a crucial goal on 8 minutes.

Donald O’ Sullivan had a free and Tadgh O’ Shea put over an excellent long range effort to keep us in touch but in truth Fossa struggled to get any foothold in the game thereafter, Dromid showed all their experience at this level and they worked hard to close out the game and limited Fossa to shoot from distance, Lorcan Daly did kick two brilliant long range points but we never got close to scoring the goal that was needed. Colin Myers was very solid in goals, our defence and midfield worked hard to contain the waves of Dromid attacks and Tadgh O’ Shea and Lorcan Daly put in a great shift up front but the forwards got little change overall from the home defence, especially in the second half. They now face Lispole in Fossa on Saturday evening next at 6.30 pm in the first round of the Junior Championship.

Boys U16 East Kerry League Div 1B ROUND 4 On Monday evening our U-16’S headed to Cordal to take on a strong Scart/Cordal outfit. Final score Scart/Cordal 2-9 Fossa 4-10 Boys U14 County League Div 2A ROUND 3 On Wednesday evening Fossa were well beaten by a slick Ballymac U14 team with underfoot conditions very soft it was always going to favour the much stronger away team. Final score Fossa 1-07 Ballymac 7-8.

Boys U12 County League Div 2A and 2B ROUND 3 Fossa under 12 black team had a great battle with Ardfert on Sunday evening.

Overall Fossa were unlucky on the night and their mentors were more than happy with the effort put in by our boys. Final score Fossa 4-07 Ardfert 4-09. On a lovely evening for football Fossa under 12 red team put in a great shift against a strong Ardfert team. A very entertaining game saw both sides exchange scores throughout the game, with the best score coming from Luke Murphy, a goal Robbie Keane would have been proud of. Jack

Cronin was superb in goals, Finn Kennelly was very industrious and up front Tom Cahillane chipped in with some fine scores.

Final score Fossa 4-08 Ardfert 5-07.

U-10 Boys Fossa under 10 boys had their first outing of the year to Cromane on Sunday for a blitz in which Glenbeigh Glencar, Beaufort, Cromane and Fossa took part.

In the opening game Fossa won against Glenbeigh Glencar. However they then lost a close game to Cromane by a goal and were also beaten by a stronger Beaufort team in the final group game.

Fossa met Glenbeigh Glencar in the B final but couldn’t repeat the win from earlier in the day. Despite this the Fossa boys showed plenty of skill and determination and most importantly had an enjoyable afternoon.

Well done to the players and mentors.

U-8 Boys Fossa under 8 boys made the long trip to Dromid on Sunday to play Dromid under 8’S during half time of the senior game.

The Fossa boys gave a fantastic account of themselves with some great points and goals scored by Fossa, supported by some fantastic defensive play. Standing out for Fossa were Fionn Doyle, Jack Hallisey and Dylon O’Meara. All the boys were a credit to the club and showed the seniors how it should be done!! A big thank you to everyone involved.

Ladies Football The U-16 ladies have played two games in Division 1 County league to date.

Their first game was at home vs Laune Rangers. The teams were tightly matched in the first half, but after the interval, Fossa dominated the second half which resulted in a comprehensive win for the Fossa girls.

The U-16 ladies were away to Rathmore this week.

As always, there is never much between these two very competitive teams.

Spectators weren’t disappointed as both teams played tough competitive football.

The game ended in a draw, Rathmore 2-11 to Fossa 1-14.

No under 16 game this coming week.
