"what is told in the ear of a man is often heard 100 miles away" - Chinese Proverb

Date Set For Opening Of Gardens At Killarney House

THE first phase of the restoration of Killarney House and Gardens is now complete, with a preview opening of the ornamental gardens on April 3.

This popular corner of Killarney National Park has been closed to the public since 2014, and the reopening of the gardens on the

first Sunday in April is a welcome development for locals and visitors alike.

A celebration for the whole community, the unveiling of the gardens will reveal just how much work has gone into restoring the grounds to their 18th, 19th and 20th century magnificence. The

FORMER HOME of the Earls of Kenmare, the present Killarney House was the stable block of the original 18th-century Kenmare House. It was here that Valentine, Viscount Castlerosse, entertained his friends in the 1920s and 1930s. The house and a portion of the Kenmare estate were sold to an American syndicate in 1957, with John McShain (“the man who built Washington”) buying out the other members of the syndicate in 1959.

It came into the full possession and care

National Parks and Wildlife Service and the Office of Public Works have been working painstakingly to bring the gardens back to their former glory, using the original plans. This is just one element of the restoration project, which also involves developing a major National Park visitor centre in

of the State in 1998 on the death of Mr McShain’s wife, Mary.

Recognising its potential as an important heritage tourism asset, Failte Ireland supplied funding of €5.2 million under its Tourism Capital Investment Programme, with the balance of the overall cost of the restoration project being funded by the National Parks and Wildlife Service of the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht.

Playing Their Cards Right In Killarney THE annual Torc Bridge Congress is expected to attract players from all over Ireland to Killarney when it will take place at The Brehon Hotel from Friday, March 4, to Sunday, March 6.

The congress has been hosted by members of The Crusaders Bridge Club, Killarney, for over 35 years. Attractive accommodation packages are available from The Brehon Hotel for those travelling long distances.

This congress is regarded as one of the most enjoyable outings of the year for all bridge enthusiasts. The officers of Crusaders Bridge

Club are busy preparing for the event and getting everything ready to make it another outstanding event.

The event kicks off with the official opening on the Friday night at 7.30pm followed by an open pairs competition. On Saturday, bridge players will take in the congress pairs and open pairs competitions. Congress teams and open pairs matches will also run on Sunday.

Further information is available from Marjorie Fleming at 064-66 31937.

Killarney House, restoring some of the formal rooms, and using the house’s exceptional collection of antiques to tell the story of the house and those who lived there.

The visitor centre will feature cutting-edge technology in a new extension, including exhibition areas for temporary exhibitions,

A stroll back in time THE eagerly anticipated opening of the gardens of Killarney House will deliver a wonderful boost to the town.

Many, including Killarney Chamber President Kate O’Leary, have spoken of how “bringing Killarney National Park into the town” will benefit everyone, and it looks like Killarney is now, at last, set to get its very own version of St Stephen’s Green.

As she took office as Chamber president in January last year, Kate spoke of her aim to find a way to strengthen the connection between the town and the National Park/Killarney House and ensure the landmark attraction is no longer “hidden behind the wall”. This dream is now close to becoming a reality.

The preview opening of the ornamental gardens on April 3 will enhance the town’s sense of its past as walkers will stroll back in time and enjoy the grounds when they have been restored to their magnificence of generations past.

Question I am a UK citizen and I am thinking of moving to Ireland. Are there any restrictions on taking up residence?

Answer Citizens of the United Kingdom (UK) are entitled to live in Ireland without any conditions or restrictions. Unlike the citizens of other countries, they are not subject to the Aliens Act 1935 or to any orders made under it. This means that you, as a UK citizen, do not need a visa, any form of residence permit or employment permit to live in Ireland.

In general, while living in Ireland, UK citizens are entitled to avail of public services on the same basis as Irish citizens living in Ireland. For example, UK citizens who are resident in Ireland are entitled to health services in the same way as Irish citizens who are resident. UK citizens resident in Ireland whose income is from a UK source and who do not have any income from Ireland may be entitled to a medical card regardless of their means.

Unlike other EU citizens, UK citizens may retire to Ireland without having to establish that they have sufficient resources or that they have private health insurance. UK citizens living in Ireland are eligible for social welfare payments in the same way as Irish citizens living in Ireland. However you need to meet the requirements of the habitual residence condition (in the same way as Irish citizens living in Ireland) to qualify for many means-tested social welfare payments. If you have recently moved to Ireland, you may find it more difficult to establish that your main centre of interest is in Ireland.

UK citizens living in Ireland are entitled to vote in Irish elections, with the exception of Presidential elections and referendums.

The UK government has published a short guide on gov.co.uk for UK citizens who are living in Ireland and travelling to Ireland.

Hero Garda Saves Man’s Life A GARDA is being hailed as a hero this week after saving a man’s life.

Garda Paul Ruby, based in Killorglin and Killarney, spent 25 minutes resuscitating a 58-year-old member of the public after he found him unconscious.

Jim O’Shea suddenly collapsed in the Fair Field car park in Killorglin on Tuesday.

Garda Ruby, who is trained in CPR and the use of a defibrillator, arrived at the scene, in front of Killorglin Men’s Shed, after a colleague, John Galvin, alerted him.

“I immediately began chest compressions,” he said.

A number of defibrillators are dotted around the town and the defibrillator at the CYMS hall was fetched.

“The key thing to remember in such a situation is to remain calm. It’s surreal when you’re doing it but your training just kicks into place,” said Garda Ruby.

Mr O’Shea is now recovering in University Hospital Kerry and Garda Ruby visited him there on Wednesday.

Mr O’Shea’s daughter Grainne said the family couldn’t thank Garda Ruby enough. “He saved my father’s life,” she said.

Garda Ruby, a native of Blarney, Co Cork, who is now living in Killarney, urged people to be aware of the whereabouts of defibrillators locally and advocated training in CPR. “Remaining calm is key and call for a defibrillator. Familiarising yourself with the whereabouts of AEDs is crucial. They do save lives.”

Dr John Geaney of Operation Resuscitation Killarney congratulated Garda Ruby for his life-saving actions. “It’s just amazing to see what people are doing locally to look after each other. It’s almost impossible to survive cardiac arrest if the people beside you don’t know what to do,” he said.

Killarney Advertiser Reunites Flipi With His Owner IT’S always heart-warming to see a reunion of friends and the team at Killarney Advertiser was delighted to play a key role in helping cat Flipi return to his owner Edwina Duggan.

Flipi, aged two years, went missing from his home in Aghadoe in mid-January and as the weeks went by Edwina despaired of finding her beloved pet.

A distraught Edwina placed an ad in Killarney Advertiser. She was extremely worried about Flipi’s welfare, particularly as he is on medication to treat epilepsy.

Then, exactly a month after Edwina Duggan and Annie O’Leary with Flipi this week. he had wandered off, Annie O’Leary noticed a cat matching his description in her back garden at Lissivigeen and promptly called Killarney Advertiser where she had read of missing Flipi. “He was out the back crying so I fed him, and called Killarney Advertiser. I have two dogs and a cat myself. I completely understand how it feels to lose a pet like that – my own cat, Ping, went missing three years ago and was found in Crosstown, again with the help of Killarney Advertiser!” said Annie.

Edwina was delighted to be reunited with Flipi. “I really didn’t expect to see him again. He wandered off on January 14 and I got him back on February 14. He is more affectionate than ever!” she said.

Kerry Hoteliers Welcome Strong Growth In Overseas Visitors HOTELIERS in Kerry have welcomed the strong growth in overseas travel to Ireland announced today (link to CSO figures), with trips to Ireland up 18.4% year on year for the period November 2015-January 2016.

On foot of a record year in tourism in 2015, growth in overseas visitors is particularly visible among visitors from North America, with trips up 19.4%. Significant growth is also being seen from Britain (up 17.5%) and the rest of Europe (up 21.1%) – which are vital overseas markets for Irish tourism.

The Irish Hotels Federation (IHF) says that this growth is of enormous importance for the country considering the contribution tourism makes to the wider economy, having created

over 33,000 additional jobs since 2011 thanks to a number of key pro-tourism initiatives. Tourism now employs over 12,000 people in Kerry and contributes €380m to the local economy each year.

Important tourism initiatives in recent years include the 9% VAT rate, which has brought Ireland more closely in line with tourism VAT rates in other European countries with which we compete – making Ireland more competitive when marketing the country internationally as a tourism destination. Other important measures include the zero rate air passenger tax, support for improved air access and connectivity, and the liberalisation of the visa regime for visitors from selected markets.

Colm Cooper To Go By The Book?

IT IS reported that Kerry football legend Colm Cooper is to open a new chapter when he pens a book on his life story.

The Killarney-born GAA superstar is already working on the story with a leading Dublin publisher, it is understood, and the book is expected to be launched ahead of the Christmas market.

St Brendan’s College Teams Up With The Malton

EXCITEMENT is at fever pitch in Killarney as the town wishes St Brendan’s College well in the Corn Uí Mhuirí Munster football final against Clonmel High School this Saturday.

Tuesday saw the school’s representatives team up with The Malton Hotel as the college announced the renewal of The Malton’s sponsorship of sports in St Brendan’s for the current school year.

“This is a long-standing arrangement between these two old Killarney institutions, going back at least a dozen years,” said St Brendan’s College principal Sean Coffey.

“We would like to thank the Scally family for their renewal and wish them well in their new endeavours.”

The Malton name will in turn be displayed in the “Sem” jerseys in football, soccer and basketball. “This arrangement will be highlighted in all school media including the school website and app and any relevant communication to parents,” said Mr Coffey.

Mark Scally, The Malton Hotel, wished St Brendan’s well in tomorrow’s final as well as in all its sporting endeavours for the future. “We’re delighted with this strong, continued link with the local community and St Brendan’s College," he said.

Raise A Coffee Cup To Help Brew Up Support IT’S always a hugely popular event and this year’s coffee morning in aid of the Killarney and South Kerry branch of the Irish Cancer Society is brewing up to be a huge success.

The coffee morning will be hosted in the Killarney Towers Hotel next Friday, March 4, from 10.30am to 12.30pm and promises a host of goodies and exciting raffles.

“We are very grateful to Mary Harnett, group sales and marketing manager of the O’Donoghue Ring Hotel Group, for hosting the event,” said Eugene O’Sullivan of the Killarney and South Kerry branch of the Irish Cancer Society.

“All are welcome to the coffee morning and we promise plenty of great prizes at the raffle on the day.”

One in three of us will face cancer, and by raising money through the coffee morning and for Daffodil Day the following week you will help the Irish Cancer Society make sure no one has to face cancer alone.

The dedicated Killarney branch of the Irish Cancer Society and the team at Killarney Towers Hotel look forward to hosting you on March 4.

AT THE February meeting of Killarney Municipal Area, it was proposed that Iarnród Éireann and Bus Éireann would jointly undertake the development of a pedestrian walkover bridge linking both stations in Killarney.

Raising the issue, Councillor Michael Gleeson of Kerry Independent Alliance said: “Both stations are immediately adjacent but paradox- Councillor Michael Gleeson. ically are in real terms some distance apart. As a result passengers wishing to transfer from one to the other have to walk quite some distance.

“This imposes hardship on many, particularly on older people who are carrying luggage. It also means that they have to endure the vagaries of the weather and frequently get wet as they walk from one station to the other.”

The motion was unanimously agreed at the meeting and has been forwarded to both bodies.

MAX AND MYLO HOME AND SAFE AFTER ADVENTURE INTREPID Killarney pooches Max and Mylo and their owners, the Ross Hotel, have issued a big thank you to all who helped ensure their safe homecoming after a four-day adventure last week.

The two German pointer dogs went missing on Wednesday afternoon, February 17, and were found on the subsequent Saturday.

Having got lost in Dinis, Max was eventually seen trotting along the road on the following Saturday afternoon by the Five Mile Bridge. Luckily, a Dero’s bus driver spotted him and brought him back to Killarney in the bus with him.

Three hours later, Mylo returned off the mountains.

A few scratches and hunger were their only concerns and on Saturday night they feasted on some juicy meaty bones that the chef in The Ross kitchen kept for them.

Kerry’s Fastest Mile Runner Backs Killarney Track Project THE Killarney microtrack project has received the backing of none other than Kerry’s faster miler, Frank Conway.

The Dooks native and Dublin-based businessman still holds the Irish colleges 2,000 steeplechase record set in 1985.

He retired retire from elite athletics at just 22 years of age due to a recurring foot injury but still keeps fit and healthy and encourages running or walking for health and wellbeing.

A massive advocate for the "Fit for Youth" movements and recreational pursuits, Frank is a big supporter of the Killarney microtrack project and spoke of the logic of "proximity" to his own success.

The committee behind the Killarney project, the South/East Kerry community track group, hopes for grant approval at the next round of Leader grants.

Killarney now qualifies due to the hub status removal.

The cost of the project in total has decreased by €22,000. The community body has been fundraising with magnificent events over the last four years, with grant approval crucial.

The lands on New Road are to be leased on a long-term basis to the community group and has full planning permission.

“With all funds necessary the project has only a six-eight week build duration and will be in the middle of approximately 2000 students, it is suitable for persons who are able bodied and persons of disability,” said spokesman

Frank Conway.

Jerry Griffin. “The community group are applying for the next round of leader funding around April.”

Meanwhile, Killarney Valley AC has set up a Fit for Life group on Monday evenings at 7pm at St Brendan’s College, Killarney, led by Garda Sergeant Con Lynch, a former international athlete and national athletics champion, Jerry Griffin, former underage national champion and Kerry football player at different grades, and John O'Shea, community activist.

Kerry General Renamed University Hospital Kerry

At the renaming of University Hospital Kerry and launch of the new CT scanner were Minister Leo Varadkar and radiographer Niamh O'Sullivan from Firies. PICTURE: DOMNICK WALSH

THE Minister for Health, Leo Varadkar, was in Tralee on Friday to officially rename Kerry General Hospital as University Hospital Kerry.

He also launched a cutting-edge CT scanner which has been installed at the hospital, providing a much-improved service to patients requiring such scans.

This new service allows for a full cardiac CT scanning facility and CT bowel colonoscopy service for the first time in the Kerry region.

The scanner also emits lower radiation doses and has a higher image quality than other scanners.

Minister Dr Leo Varadkar also opened the newly refurbished diabetes centre and the planned site for the hospital’s new inpatient Palliative Care Unit.

“Kerry provides opportunities for medics to learn and train in one of the most beautiful parts of Ireland, if not the world,” he said.

The hospital is linked with academic partner University College Cork. This partnership expands its role as a teaching hospital, providing new teaching, research and education opportunities. The hospital’s new status should help in recruiting and retaining staff, a crucial factor in maintaining the highest clinical standards, the Department of Health said.

Supervalu Reaches New Milestone With Record Sales Of €2.6 Billion

Council Unveils Five-Year Arts Strategy

AT ITS conference in Killarney on Monday, SuperValu announced it recorded retail sales of €2.6 billion in 2015, representing a new milestone for the brand and underlining its position as Ireland’s most popular grocery retailer with 25% market share.

Building on this strong performance, SuperValu plans to invest €28 million in 2016, opening five new stores and adding 350 jobs to the SuperValu network.

SuperValu’s fresh food leadership strategy has been a core driver of its impressive performance. Ireland’s leading grocery retailer drove strong growth throughout 2015, particularly at Christmas as it outperformed the market with 4.3% growth over the last twelve weeks of the year.

At the SuperValu National Conference in Killarney, Martin Kelleher, managing director of SuperValu, said: “We are pleased to announce that we have achieved a new

KERRY COUNTY COUNCIL’S new arts strategy has been hailed as “an essential road map for the development of arts the county” in the words of the council’s chief executive Moira Murrell.

The strategy seeks to foster greater levels of engagement in the arts, and to support a high standard of practice in the arts throughout the county.

Based on four core values, quality, access, inclusion and sustainability, the initiative was launched this week in Tralee Library.

Over 70 people attended the launch, including visual artists, writers, filmmakers, dancers and theatre practitioners.

Ms Murrell stated that the arts are at the heart of Kerry’s economic development and that it was vital to provide targeted support to local artists.

Siamsa Tíre’s Catriona Fallon and Jonathon Kelliher, St. John’s Theatre Manager, Joe Murphy, Maire Logue and Eilish Wren of Listowel Writers’ Week, Felicity Hayes McCoy, author, Miranda Cournane of Kerry Music Education Partnership, and Mike Dowd of K-Fest and Tralee Arts Group were amongst some of those who attended.

sales milestone in what is a highly competitive marketplace. The fact that we are the largest grocery retailer in Ireland clearly illustrates that we have the best offer in the market, with consumers responding to our commitment to fresh food leadership and opting for locally-sourced, quality Irish food and in-store expertise.”

Underpinning SuperValu’s success in 2015 was the grocery retailer’s Good Food Karma campaign, which was designed to demonstrate the benefits of good wholesome food and the importance of making time for food occasions.

SuperValu has now helped 250 small Irish food producers to secure a retail listing through Food Academy, a joint initiative with Bord Bia and the Local Enterprise Office.

SuperValu online shopping was a key sales driver for the retailer last year.

Design Of The Times At Liebherr ASPIRING young engineers will be looking to the future in every sense when they take part in Engineers Week at Liebherr Container Cranes, Fossa.

The company is gearing up to showcase stateof-the-art engineering and manufacturing in a week of factory tours for students who will also get a headstart on designing the crane of the future.

Engineers Week runs from February 28 to March 5 celebrating the world of engineering in Ireland. “The week aims to create a positive awareness and spark enthusiasm about the engineering profession to people of all ages, especially students and their teachers and parents,” said a spokesman for Liebherr.

“Liebherr Container Cranes Killarney is delighted to be a part of Engineers Week 2016. Over the course of the week Liebherr will host a number of factory visits and accommodate hundreds of local students. An introductory presentation, followed by a guided tour of the state-of-theart manufacturing facility and engineering offices will allow students to gain an insight to the world of engineering and innovation that make Liebherr Container Cranes a world leader.”

Further information on the careers and opportunities available will be presented to the students. Throughout the visit, students will meet engineers and see the work carried out by the many different engineering disciplines

including automation, electrical, electronics, structural and mechanical.

During January 2016, and in preparation for Engineers Week, Liebherr Container Cranes invited a number of local schools to the factory with a view to involving students in a “Crane of the Future” design project. Students were given detailed information on the products manufactured at Liebherr Container Cranes. A design brief was presented and students had the opportunity to meet with the design engineering team. Entries will be presented by the students to a panel of Liebherr engineers. An awards ceremony will follow in the coming weeks when the winning entry will be announced and prizes and certificates be presented.

We also have a healthy eating initiative which complements our health-promoting strategies throughout the school.” Ms Cronin added: “We believe that children and young people should be encouraged to be active agents in their own learning when involved in physical education, co-curricular or community-based physical activities or sport.”

election 2016

Kerry candidates’ election posters go global

POSTERS for general election candidates and brothers Michael and Danny Healy-Rae have made their way across Ireland and the world.

Independent TD Michael Healy-Rae and Councillor Danny Healy-Rae’s posters are to be seen as far afield as the Sydney Opera House and Abu Dhabi.

Michael Healy-Rae said: “It’s mighty that people at home and abroad are supporting the campaign in any way they can.”

Kilgarvan native David Breen, who is holidaying in Abu Dhabi, made sure to bring election posters to the desert.

Also pictured with posters of Michael Healy-Rae in Sydney were Deirdre Prendagast, Glyn Egan and Fiona Prendagast, all hailing originally from Kilgarvan.

Meanwhile, Kerry TD Michael has released yet another election song following on from the success of Make the Diff which now stands at over 88,000 views on YouTube.

Entitled Back to the Dáil, the song sounds like the hit single Shut Up and Dance by Walk The Moon and is by Kerry band Truly Diverse.

The band’s previous Healy-Rae election song, Make the Diff, was the brainchild of Killarney songwriter Tom Lucey. “I think he was in bed one night and dreamt it up, it was very catchy and was stuck in my head for the last two weeks,” said Deputy Healy-Rae.

‘Kerry will benefit from fresh focus with new post’ FIANNA FÁIL Leader Micheál Martin says his party is committed to protecting rural Ireland and will appoint a Minister to the Cabinet table with responsibility for community support and development.

The party has published a “Manifesto for Rural Ireland”, which pledges to support rural parish communities, in Kerry and around the country, and ensure that employment and job opportunities in the regions are improved.

Kerry general election candidate John Brassil said: “We need balanced regional development so that the rising tide can lift all boats. That is simply not happening under this Government.

There are large parts of the country that have felt no recov-

“There needs to be much more focus on the role the regions, and in particular Kerry, can play in the recovery. Boarded-up shop-fronts and closed vacant units remain a common feature of many rural towns and this needs to be tackled head on.”

WHAT TO DO IF YOU HAVE A CAR ACCIDENT

By John Healy JP Healy & Co Insurances ltd

Being involved in a car accident can be a traumatic experience.

While vehicle damage can be repaired or replaced the health and well being of all passengers should be paramount.

Here are some pointers if you are in this position • Stay calm and try to assess any casualties • Do not move the injured • Call emergency services • Call the Gardai before you move any vehicles • Swap the following details with the other party, Name, Address and phone numbers, Registration numbers, Insurance policy numbers (check the insurance disc) and Licence numbers • If a Garda attends the scene make sure you record his name and barracks • Note if there are any witnesses and record their names and numbers • Take photos of the area with your phone (if not available try to write it down) note where the cars ended up and their position on the road, the weather conditions & visibility, and number/ages of passengers in all vehicles.

• Do not discuss liability at the scene of the accident. You are only obliged to discuss this with a Garda or your insurers. Road traffic act law is a complex area and liability is best left to your insurers to determine.

• Contact your Broker or Insurer as soon as you can Some policies can arrange courtesy cars and/or a tow-in service.

• If you are involved in an accident with a visiting motorist from outside the country, report the accident to your insurance company and also to the Motor Insurers Bureau of Ireland, 3/4 South Frederick Street, Dublin 2.

ROLLING ROADS OF KERRY TO PLAY A PIVOTAL ROLE IN HISTORIC RACE

The 2016 An Post Rás was launched at Dublin Castle by Irish riders Eddie Dunbar, Martyn Irvine and Bryan McCrystal.

PICTURE: INPHO/BILLY STICKLAND

BEGINNING at Dublin Castle and totalling over 1200 kilometres, the route of the 2016 An Post Rás was unveiled last week, with the Kingdom of Kerry set to host two of the eight stage finishes.

This year’s edition of the race will travel anticlockwise around Ireland with Dingle and Sneem playing host to stage three and four finishes respectively. Other towns hosting stage finishes are Multyfarnham, Charleville, Clonakilty, Dungarvan and Baltinglass before the customary finale in Skerries.

The race takes place from May 22-29 and I believe that Dingle and Sneem will play a big part in the general classification. Stage three and four will be very rolling stages. With uneven surfaces and a

constant climbs and drops, they will certainly play their part in the general classification. This year has some big climbs but is also similar in profile to the 2015 edition, and should lead to some really exciting racing.

The Rás is steeped in history and we were delighted to be able to honour former Rás Winner and Kerry man Paudie Fitzgerald at this year’s launch. It’s brilliant to be able to commemorate Paudie’s historic win in 1956 and no man deserves the honour more. We will be rolling into Sneem on stage four, welcomed by a long-time supporter of the race, Louis Moriarty. It’s great for the young riders as these two men are really part of the history of the race.

Former World Track Champion Martyn Irvine was on hand to launch this year’s route alongside top Irish riders Eddie Dunbar and Bryan McCrystal.

Irvine, who recently announced his retirement from the sport, believes the county riders will be licking their lips when they see the route.

The Rás is unlike any other race in the world. On one side you have the international riders coming from abroad and on the other you have amateur riders here who train on this terrain all year round chomping at the bit for a win. We saw it with the likes of Ian Richardson and Bryan McCrystal last year; they were putting it to the best riders from around the globe on every stage and it was great to see. I’m sure this year, after seeing the route, there will be Irish guys in the mix.

After leaving Dublin Castle on Sunday, May 22, the 64th edition of the An Post Rás will officially begin with the drop of the flag in Clonee. The opening stage to Multyfarnham is 144.6 kilometres in length and features An Post Hotspot Sprints in Bohermeen, Kells and on the first passage of the finish line in Multyfarnham.

Details of the international teams set to join this year’s An Post Rás will be released over the coming months. The An Post Chain Reaction Sean Kelly team has already committed to participating.

Wedding bells for Emma and Padraig

BY EVE KELLIHER CELEBRATIONS continued long into the night in Killarney’s Brehon Hotel for bride and groom Emma Bunworth and Padraig O’Connor and their guests.

Emma, from Knocknagoshel, and Padraig, from Abbeyfeale, were wed in St Mary’s Church, Knocknagoshel,

by Canon Eoin Mangan.

Before re-joining their guests for the reception at The Brehon, the couple posed for the camera of Mícheál O’Sullivan at a number of landmark spots, including Killarney Railway Station.

Helping the newlyweds plan their big day were both sets of parents, Kathleen and Charlie Bunworth and Kathy and John O’Connor.

Emma’s sisters Colette, Margaret, Louise and Charlotte Bunworth and niece Katelynn Bunworth were her bridesmaids.

Padraig’s brothers Brendan and Daniel O’Connor and friends Sean Cronin and Michael Walsh lent their support as groomsmen.

The bride’s nephew Denis McAuliffe

was pageboy.

Emma and Padraig met in Ruby's nightclub Abbeyfeale 10 years ago.

“We had a fantastic day from start to finish,” said the groom. “The weather was awful but we didn't let that ruin our day. Our groomsmen and bridesmaids catered for our every need which made the day run smoothly, one we will never forget.”

Emma added: “We danced the night away with a fantastic band called the Ian Hendrick band who were brilliant and the guests entertained themselves with Munster Photobooth before the music began.”

For their honeymoon, the Abbeyfeale-based newlyweds enjoyed a cruise around the Bahamas followed by a few days in Miami. Emma is a teacher and Padraig is a dairy farmer.

Getting your house in order Ted Healy, DNG Ted Healy, has some advice on showcasing your home for sale THUS far, 2016 has seen the continuance of an improving real estate market. House prices have and are on the rise. This is largely down to a lack of supply of available properties and a realisation that we have long since passed the bottom of the market.

So for the homeowner to capitalise fully on the rise in market values we set out below some simple points to consider when placing your property on the market for sale.

The initial impression that your home makes is long lasting. First impressions do last. In this age of technology a whole host of information can be availed of from the comfort of your living room. Of crucial importance are good quality photographs. The first visit potential purchasers will make to your property is online. With this in mind it is important to choose an agent with a strong online presence. A study has shown that listings with more than six pictures are

twice as likely to be viewed by buyers as listings that have fewer than six pictures.

A well-maintained exterior is an important part of showcasing your home. Paint the front door, tidy the garden and make the entrance area as welcoming as possible.

Potential purchasers need to imagine themselves living in your home. Showcase as much counter and floor space as possible. Keys areas are hallways: clear away coats and any additional clutter, bathrooms: tidy away all personal products, kitchen: clear counter surfaces of appliances, biscuit tins, pasta jars etc and remove old tea towels and bins.

If redecorating, stick to neutral warm colours. Check ceilings for water stains (fix the problem and repaint.)

The garden can be seen as an additional room â&#x20AC;&#x201C; be sure to make your garden feel like a great place for entertaining and relaxing.

If not redecorating, it is important your property is clean and smelling fresh for viewings.

Open curtains and blinds and ensure windows are washed and all curtains and blinds are clean and hung properly. Natural light can create a wonderful atmosphere and give a feeling of freshness and cleanliness. During the winter months ensure all light bulbs are in working order and have lights turned on. No harm to light the fire as it will create a homely ambience to your potential buyer.

These are a few simple but effective pointers to consider when showcasing your home for sale.

Tips for the gardener with cabin fever RAIN, rain go to Spain – we all remember this rhyme from our childhood but I don’t think it was ever so apt as this year. Our gardens are sopping wet and trying to get out to do any gardening is a test of our mettle.

It’s actually a great time to plant so here are some practical solutions for the gardener with cabin fever.

If you’re not lucky enough to have a polytunnel or a potting shed, don’t fret.

All you need is a small space in your garage or even your utility room or a small table and some trays and seeds and voila! It’s a great time to plant seed trays now – if you’re growing from seed, most crops and flowers can be started off indoors.

It’s also an excellent way to get kids into gardening. Give them their own tray and they can water it and watch the seedlings appear.

If you are thinking about a vegetable plot for this year a great idea is some raised beds or boxes. These can be put together indoors and drainage is rarely a problem. With raised beds, try positioning them close to your house for watering and weeding when we get our Spanish summer.

Many vegetables, including runner beans, cauliflower, onion, shallots, and lettuce, are best started indoors. Bedding plants also

benefit from starting off indoors to create enviable flower displays for summer and don’t forget to feed the wild birds. Birds not only provide your garden with beauty and song they are also a natural pest control, eating insects worms, aphid and slugs. So to help get them over the winter months put out a small feeder with some peanuts or seeds and these small creatures will pay back with dividends.

Interior designer Kadri Bormeister gives an insight into an attic conversion project THE client required the design of a substantial attic space which he sought to bring up to the standard of the remainder of the house. The

only instructions from him were to create a rich, luxurious and inviting space.

We began with a pewter grey carpet on the stairway and a bespoke door. This signals an exit from the main house and its daily duties while at the same time, with the common thread of the white woodwork, preserving a sense of unity with the floors below.

We chose burnt orange walls to achieve a cocoon effect. This is where time can be dedicated to relaxation, rejuvenation and recharging the batteries. The handmade teal

tiles add mystery to the scheme and give a glamorous

feel.

The charcoal grey shower tray blends well with the stone grey tiles and gives a unique and contemporary feel to the bathroom. The extra-wide countertop serves as extra storage space while giving a dressing-room vibe.

The bedroom is decorated with plums, mauves and mulberry hues. The same carpet runs through the walk-in wardrobe, bedroom and office area. This helps to open up and create continuity throughout the space.

Finding your style HAVING trouble decorating?

Maybe you just don’t know your style.

Here are some handy tips to help you check whether you’re traditional, contemporary, country chic, or like me, French country

1. First get some old or new interiors magazines and tear out all the ads and features you like. You can also go online and check out Pinterest and add ideas to your pinboard.

Put them together and you may be surprised. They will all be a similar style. Instinctively you are drawn to one style. If they are all completely different don’t panic, you may have an eclectic style which means you like to mix up your pieces. A similar colour can draw all your pieces together to keep things looking coherent.

2. Take a quiz. There are numerous ones online that tell you your style, from asking questions like your favourite pet or your favourite drink. I’m not sure about some of these questions but the quizzes are definitely quite fun to do. I did the houzz one and it came up with French country which was pretty accurate, as it is one of my favourite styles. Don’t know how they came up with this by asking my favourite pet, but hunting dog must say French country!

3. Visit some furniture and interiors shops, not to buy but to browse, and see where your eye takes you. You will be surprised; if you give it a bit of time it will keep taking you back to the same style chair, sofa or fabric. Then you can go back and shop your style!

4. Brainstorm: Think about your favourite holiday or place you stayed, why you liked it or the things you liked about it. My favourite place was a converted barn in Tuscany. I loved the stone walls, eclectic furniture and comfy feather-filled sofas. French country at its best in Italy!

Hop House 13 is a hit for Guinness IT IS not often that a multinational conglomerate underestimates the likely success of a newly launched product.

Yet this really does seem to have been the case with Guinness’s Hop House 13 beer. Apparently the idea had been to follow up 13 with another in the range and to keep them coming thick and fast.

However, with the instant success of 13, even this giant company did not have the capacity to bring a second niche ale

The Killarney Towers Hotel’s head chef Paul O’Connor shares this tasty recipe

to market and, to be honest, with the ever-increasing sales of 13, there was no need.

Remember also that Guinness has not shown itself to be particularly prophetic in its product innovation over the years – pint of white Guinness Breó, anyone?

Or a six-pack of Guinness lager?

Still, with Hop House 13 they really seemed to have nailed it. The beer’s quality has played a part as has its rea-

Killarney Toning & Beauty Studio is hosting its ever-popular annual Losing It: Inch/Weight-Loss competition. Here Jill Duggan explains how toning tables can help you streamline your body

TAKE note this is your last chance to avail of our amazing sale – buy one course and we give you a second course free. The sale ends on February 29.

Using the toning tables is time effect as sessions are just 30 minutes.

You can come as you are, no special clothes or shoes required.

Fast inch loss and toning results are guaranteed, in a warm, friendly and sociable environment where you can work at your own pace.

Using the toning tables is safe and comfortable.

Despite the fact that we all try to remain as active as possible as we age, the majority of exercise such as walking, gardening or using a conventional gym, will only target select muscle groups, meaning other areas of the body can often weaken.

Cor-

estrength is often one of the main areas to weaken as we mature, as it is often the least exercised, which can impact heavily on everything from balance to bladder control.

Toning tables incorporate Pilates techniques in a modern range of dual-function equipment. The apparatus is not only comfortable to use but it also delivers astounding results.

Our state-of-the-art toning tables deliver a 40-minute circuit that gently exercises, stimulates and strengthens all the major muscle groups in the body, including the core. The system is a far safer form of exercise than offered by traditional fitness equipment. It provides a multitude of benefits, from changing your body shape to improving general strength and flexibility, so users will reach that top cupboard shelf again or put their socks on, to improving bone density, circulation and muscle tone.

Our six pieces of equipment will help to exercise and stretch all the major muscle groups in the body, whilst the soothing motion promotes relaxation.

Regina Reynolds, Organ Donation Transplantation Ireland (ODTI); Theresa Looney, Killarney, Ellen Flanagan, Ardfert; Vivienne Traynor; and Con Brosnan and his niece Karen Brosnan, Killarney.

Killarney representatives help launch organ donor awareness week KILLARNEY representatives of the Kerry branch of the Irish Kidney Association (IKA) were on hand to help launch Organ Donor Awareness Week 2016.

The association’s Teresa Looney as well as Con Brosnan and his niece Karen Brosnan together with living kidney donor and RTÉ broadcaster Vivienne Traynor unveiled details of this year’s campaign at the IKA headquarters Donor House, Park West, Dublin.

Vivien has taken up the voluntary role of ambassador for this year’s initiative, which is organised by the Irish Kidney Association.

Vivienne’s nephew Martin Traynor underwent two kidney transplants, his first for which she was the living kidney donor and five years later his second transplant was from a deceased donor.

Vivienne, the RTÉ News Anchor and Courts Correspondent, witnessed first-hand the whole process of organ donation and transplantation from a deceased donor for her nephew Martin (now age 35) in November 2014. This was a very different experience from five years previously when she was a living kidney donor to him. Following the first

transplant which they underwent in the UK, Martin became a father for the first time to Ted (now three).

The circle of life continued after Martin’s second transplant at Beaumont Hospital and he and his partner Mary have since become parents for the second time with a baby sister Daisy (now 10 months) for Ted. Vivienne said: "When news came through that a second kidney was available for Martin I was at first elated but this feeling was very quickly replaced by thoughts for the deceased donor and their family. I was really touched that a family in the midst of all their grief took the time to consider someone else.”

There are approximately 700 people in Ireland awaiting life-saving heart, lung, liver, kidney and pancreas transplants.

Organ Donor Awareness Week, April 2-9, also serves as a fundraising exercise for the IKA. You can also text “kidney” to 50300 and €2 will be donated from your mobile phone account. Organ Donor Cards can also be obtained by phoning LoCall 1890 543639 or Freetext the word DONOR to 50050 or see www.ika.ie

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

LUKE 13:1-9: Jesus rejects the idea that personal misfortune is God’s punishment for sin. Yet a serious illness or accident can serve as a wake-up call about how we live our lives. How have such experiences given you a greater appreciation of the value of your life and relationships, and of the time, and opportunities at your disposal?

“I’ll wait till tomorrow to do that.” Have you ever said that and then found the chance is gone the next day? In the story we are called to recognise God at work in our lives and respond to Him. NOW is the opportune moment.

When have you been glad you did not put off action to the following day?

Perhaps there have been times when you saw yourself like the tree in the parable – useless, merely a waste of space. Think of friends who came to you at such a time, people who saw your potential and were prepared to give you another chance, people who also dug the soil around you and gave you the helps you needed to grow. Perhaps in your turn you have been able to do this for others.

John Byrne OSA

MUSINGS

IN THESE days of Lent, it is worth reminding ourselves of how, in the words of Rom 5:5, “God’s love has been poured into our hearts”. Pope Francis expands on this in his recent encyclical when he says: “In short, the mercy of God is not an abstract idea, but a concrete reality with which he reveals his love as of that of a father or a mother, moved to the very depths out of love for their child. It is hardly an exaggeration to say that this is a ‘visceral’ love.

It gushes forth from the depths naturally, full of tenderness and compassion, indulgence and mercy” (Misericordiae Vultus, 6).

BEAR FRUIT

THE people in the Gospel today are wondering if the Galileans who were killed by Pilate had died because they deserved to. We can empathise with them as we know too well of accidents and tragedies of all kinds where we might ask the same question. Jesus insists that they have not done anything wrong. Their sudden death challenges those still alive to live to the full and to bear much fruit because life can end suddenly, life is fragile, no one is indestructible.

Climate Change affects us all. Climate injustice occurs when people who have done little or nothing to cause climate change are suffering the most from its effects. It is the greatest injustice of our time as it is the world’s poorest countries who suffer the most from the changes in our weather systems. In Ireland we recall the devastating storms of 2013 which caused so much destruction along our West Coast. We have the resources to cope, for now. In countries like Kenya and Malawi, these resources are simply not there and the effects of storms and droughts are catastrophic. Let us pray today that we hear the call of the Gospel to bear fruit, not to be inactive, not to be complacent when it comes to reducing our carbon footprint. The Galileans died because of Pilate, but the greater ‘sin’ here becomes inactivity.

In the words of Pope Francis in Laudato Si: “Common destiny beckons us to seek a new beginning… Let ours be a time remembered for the awakening of a new reverence for life, the firm resolve to achieve sustainability, the quickening of the struggle for justice and peace.”

HOME & AWAY A WEEKLY ROUND-UP OF NEWS + VIEWS F THE AIR WE BREATHE

A report out this week warns that thousands of deaths a year can be linked to air pollution.

While many are aware of outdoor pollution “Every Breath We Take: The Lifelong Impact of Air Pollution,” highlights the dangers inside homes, schools and workplaces.

Kitchen products, faulty boilers, open fires, fly sprays and air fresheners can contribute to poor indoor air quality say the Royal College of Physicians and the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health.

Particulates and nitrogen oxides from heating and cooking appliances can damage the lungs and heart, and people are also at risk of potentially fatal carbon monoxide poisoning from faulty boilers and heaters.

The report continues: “Indoor air pollution may cause or contribute to 99,000 deaths annually in Europe”.

It also raises concerns about common items such as air fresheners and deodorants, hairspray, DIY and cleaning products because they contain chemicals known as volatile organic compounds, which start as solids or liquids but readily evaporate into the air.

Researchers also warn of furniture, fabric, furnishings, glue and insulation which can emit formaldehyde vapour, which causes irritation to the lungs.

Even biological matter in the home, such as dust mites, mould and flecks of skin and fur can harm human health.

The RCP and RCPCH warn the problem is compounded by people looking to reduce ventilation in their home to improve insulation and cut energy bills.

The bodies list health conditions linked to indoor air pollution, including foetus defects in pregnant women, increases in heart attacks and strokes in older people, and links to asthma, diabetes, dementia, obesity and cancer.

The report demands a crackdown on polluters and wants local authorities in the UK to be given the power to shut local roads when air pollution gets too high.

Professor Stephen Holgate, chairman of the report’s working party, said: “Air pollution has a substantial impact on many chronic long-term conditions, increasing strokes and heart attacks in susceptible individuals. It adversely effects the development of the foetus, including lung development. And now there is compelling evidence that air pollution is associated with new onset asthma in children and adults.”

Dr Andrew Goddard, the RCP lead for the report, said: “Taking action to tackle air pollution will reduce the pain and suffering for many with longterm chronic health conditions, and lessen the long-term demands on our NHS.” Jonathan Grigg, Professor of Paediatric Respiratory and Environmental Medicine at Queen Mary University of London and the vice chairman of the working party, called on the Government to monitor exposure to air pollution more effectively to identify those children and young people who are most at risk.

He added: “There is clear evidence to suggest that longterm exposure to air pollution has a wide range of adverse effects in childhood, and exposure during early life can lead to the development of serious conditions such as asthma.”

BREXIT & DE VALERA

I fear the Brexit debate will create a lot of heat but throw very little light. From the ‘Off’, David Cameron & his party colleague Boris Johnson have gone personal, reminding me of the British Labour politician, Horace Maybray-King’s opinion that, “One of the myths of the British parliament is that there are three parties there.

I can assure you from bitter personal experience there are 629.” So, it looks as if every single Member of Parliament is going to have their say and that can only lead to division. The British attitude to Europe differs fundamentally from ours: the British believed there was no finer club than the British Empire. I think there was always an attitude among the ruling elite that by joining the Common Market, they were dumbing down, slumming if you wish. Back in the day, we were delighted that anyone would allow us in from the cold. While Britain had ruled an Empire on which the sun never sat, we were emerging from the doom and gloom of the 1950’s and 1960’s. I think we naively thought that by joining the EEC, we were, at long last, fulfilling Emmett’s vision of taking our place among the nations of the Earth.

“Once, when a British Prime Minister sneezed, men half a world away would blow their noses. Now when a British Prime Minister sneezes nobody else will say, ‘Bless you.’” (Bernard Levin). Lord Curzon once boasted that while other countries had but one capital – Paris, Berlin, Madrid- Great Britain had a series of capitals all over the world from Ottawa to Shanghai. Indeed, Dublin was once considered the second city of the Empire.

Now, having lost an Empire, Britain still hasn’t found a role.

One thing is crystal clear: Britain is not happy with its current status in the EU and they believe that successive treaties, Maastricht, Amsterdam, Nice and Lisbon represent an extension of EU authority and centralisation in Brussels. Immigration is another bone of contention. Britain believes it is being targeted and that its politicians are powerless to intervene and it’s not just the numbers but the lack of control, what they view, not without reason, as the loss of sovereignty. Likewise, Britain takes great pride in the prestige and influence enjoyed by the City of London and they fear that further federalisation will concentrate more economic power in Frankfurt, Paris and other European economic powerhouses to the detriment of the City.

Indeed, it would seem to me that there are shades of De Valera’s concept of “external association” in what the supporters of the “Out” movement want. De Valera’s external association saw Ireland in free association with the British Commonwealth group as distinct from Dominion status. He believed the British Dominions enjoyed freedom because of the “immense distances which separate them from Britain and have made interference by her impracticable.” He firmly believed that Britain would never keep her meddling hands off Ireland and that true friendship between the two countries could only be achieved “through amicable but absolute separation.” Boris Johnson and his supporters seem to think that by defeating the proposed referendum, they may well be in a better position to renegotiate Britain’s status and that Britain may be interested, associated but not absorbed with Europe; with Europe but not compromised. In other words, Britain seeks an external association much like De Valera did in 1921. Back then, external association to Lloyd George simply meant Ireland’s cessation from her allegiance to the King and said it was a point: “upon which no British government can compromise.” The Republic had become Ireland’s symbol, as the Crown was Britain’s. All Ireland asked was the freedom to preserve her own symbol. Lloyd George asked: “To put it bluntly, will you be British subjects or foreigners? You must be either one or the other.”

And therein lies the problem.

The ‘Out’ side believes a Leave vote could be a prelude to securing a better deal in a second referendum.

The ‘In’ side solidly disagrees. Making clear that a Leave vote would be followed by withdrawal negotiations under Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, Mr Cameron quickly disavowed Boris of this notion of taking a second look at another time: "Sadly, I've known a number of couples who have begun divorce proceedings, but I don't know any who have begun divorce proceedings in order to renew their marriage vows."

Again, reminders of the Anglo-Irish Treaty when some believed the terms of the Treaty provided stepping stones to unity while others saw only betrayal.

Ireland needs to be supportive of our friends and allies. Britain and Ireland are closer now than ever before.

We are economically, geographically, commercially and politically entwined, one with the other. We are proud Europeans and we must be neutral Let’s hope they get it right.

S FROM KERRY AND AROUND THE WORLD STATINS - A MIRACLE CURE? The cheap and commonly prescribed drugs are taken by millions of people to lower cholesterol.

Many people have been on them for years. Statins have been taken since the late 1980s to lower cholesterol, a key risk factor in a host of killer cardiovascular conditions like coronary heart disease.

It is also claimed statins reduce the risk of dementia, could ease some symptoms of multiple sclerosis, protect those with diabetes against cardiovascular disease and trigger the “suicide” of cancer cells.

But tests show the pills can also destroy blood fats that clog the eye, giving fresh hope to millions whose vision will rapidly deteriorate.

The build-up leads to age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the most common cause of blindness in elderly, affecting 600,000 people in the UK. Scientists claim a daily high dose could prolong vision, providing the first effective treatment for the as yet incurable condition.

Professor Joan Miller, an eye specialist at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, said: “We found intensive doses of statins carry the potential for clearing up the lipid debris that can lead to vision impairment in a subset of patients with macular degeneration. We hope this promising preliminary clinical trial will be the foundation for an effective treatment for millions of patients afflicted with AMD.” The macula is the eye’s “sweet spot” giving us the ability to see things in fine detail.

It is essential for reading, driving and facial recognition.

Macular degeneration is most common in those aged 50 and over and one in 10 people over 65 having form of the debilitating condition.

It mostly starts in a “dry” form in which the light sensing cells in the eye become damaged, but can progress into a more threatening “wet” version when newly formed blood vessels can cause blindness.

A study of patients with the dry form found an 80mg dose destroyed the buildup of fat in their eyes that was behind their condition.

It also boosted the sharpness of their sight.

Painless AMD is associated with an accumulation of fatty deposits below the retina with patients experiencing blurred vision or blindness in the centre of the visual field.

Treatments are available for the wet form but there is nothing that can be done for the dry form, which accounts for 85 per cent of cases.

The research suggests patients with “softer” fat deposits in their eyes may respond better to high doses.

Prof Miller found atorvastatin, marketed as Lipitor, and several generic equivalents slashed lipid deposits and improved visual acuity in patients who at high risk of going on to develop the advanced form of the disease.

In experiments on 23 patients with dry AMD with soft lipid deposits in the outer retina, 10 found they were eliminated and their visual sharpness mildly improved after being prescribed 80mg of Lipitor and other statins.

Her findings, published in EBioMedicine, are the first time a potential therapy has been put forward for those suffering with dry AMD. Researchers hope to replicate the results in trials involving hundreds of patients.

Early diagnosis and treatment of wet AMD is essential for reducing the risk of severe vision loss.

It can be treated with medication designed to prevent vision deteriorating by preventing further blood vessels developing.

In some cases, laser surgery can also be used to destroy abnormal blood vessels.

Experts now think the wonder drug could be “repurposed” to offer an alternative to traditional treatments for a host of killer conditions.

Dr Demetrios Vavvas, director of the Ocular Regenerative Medicine Institute at Harvard Medical School, said: “Not all cases of dry AMD are the exactly the same, and our findings suggest if statins are going to help, they will be most effective when prescribed at high dosages in patients with an accumulation of soft, lipid material. These data suggest it may be possible to eventually have a treatment that not only arrests the disease but also reverses its damage and improves the visual acuity in some patients.”

He added: “Millions of patients take (atorvastatin) for high cholesterol and heart disease, and based on our early results, we believe it offers the potential to halt progression of this disease, but possibly even to restore function in some patients with dry AMD.”

Spotlight on Michael Fassbender KILLARNEY’S Michael Fassbender will be hitting the red carpet for the 88th Academy Awards on Sunday.

The acclaimed actor and Fossa man has received his second Oscar nomination (and his first in the best-actor category) for his leading turn in Steve Jobs.

Meanwhile, yesterday the first, eagerly anticipated, trailer was released of Michael’s upcoming movie The Light Between Oceans which will be released later this year.

Based on the best-seller by ML Stedman, The Light Between Oceans stars Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander as Tom and Isabel, a lighthouse-tending couple who stumble upon a boat carrying a dead man and a baby. Tom and Isabel decide to raise the child as their own, with emotionally tortuous consequences.

Migrant crisis: EU meeting seeks to heal growing rifts MINISTERS from EU and Balkan nations met in Brussels on Thursday to try to heal rifts over migrants that have plunged common policy into chaos.

Austria, Serbia and Macedonia have taken their own steps to limit entry to migrants, angering Greece, which fears the controls will cause a bottleneck.

A surge in migration, and the failure to agree an EU-wide response, have led to warnings about the bloc's survival.

More than 100,000 migrants have reached Europe this year, most via the Balkans.

European Council president Donald Tusk has warned that the failure to make progress towards resolving the crisis could increase the likelihood of the UK voting to leave the EU this year.

The EU interior ministers meeting in Brussels heard plans drawn up by Austria and eight Balkan countries that seek to restrict the numbers entering their borders.

This left them with two draws which was not enough to stay in the tournament so hard luck to the boys and their trainers Arthur Moynihan and Owen O’Leary. We would like to thank the trainers for their commitment and all the parents for who travelled to Milltown on Sunday.

The team that took part were Cian O’Connor, Oisin O’Leary, Ross Moriarty, Gavin Barry, Sean McAuliffe, David Darmody, Conor Moynihan and Oisin Hurley.

MUSIC AND SINGING EVENT Big thank you to Mark O’Leary and Katie O’Sullivan who took part in the Music and Solo singing at the weekend. They were a credit to their families and their area, with both their performances. Mark took part in the U16 Music in Keel on Saturday and Katie performed her solo song in Abbeydorney on Sunday evening. Both young enough to compete in U16 for the next 2 years, so a great experience and we look forward to having them back again in future events.

Our U12 Solo singing event was represented by Tara O’Leary and 19 boys/

girls took part in this event. After singing ‘A Candle on the Water’ from the film ‘Pete’s Dragon’, Tara came fourth place and was presented with a County Final Certificate from the judges on Sunday evening. We would like to congratulate Tara, as this was her first performance in a Community Games singing event, at County level.

BASKETBALL TRIALS Both trials have commenced this week for U11 mixed and U16 boys teams.

Please follow our Facebook page for updates and U13 girls trials will be announced shortly.

ART AND HANDWRITING EVENT This event will take place this Saturday, February 27, in Listowel. We wish our children all the very best in both events. Results to follow next week.

Tara O’Leary, Rathmore Gneeveguilla, who won a county certificate at the U12 Solo Singing County Finals in Abbeydorney on Sunday.

Killarney Aims To Become Ireland’s Number One Green Destination A GREEN workshop aimed at the hospitality sector offered plenty of food for thought when it unfolded in the Randles Hotel on Tuesday.

Leading speakers on sustainable tourism offered an insight to tourism businesses on how to become more engaged in responsible tourism with a focus on waste and resource management – especially as to how they impact on the local environment.

“Killarney Chamber of Tourism & Commerce has always recognised the importance of our environment to the hospitality industry and down through the years the Killarney tourism sector has been taking a very active role in all matters relating to our environment,” said Johnny McGuire of Killarney Chamber of Tourism & Commerce.

“Killarney should aim towards being the most sustainable tourism town in Ireland and the number-one green destination in Ireland. If the hospitality industry in Killarney signed up to the green hospitality agenda it would go a long way towards achieving this aim. It would be better if Killarney was seen to be a leader rather than playing catchup.”

Vince Durkin, Killarney Park Hotel, Rosaleen Randles, Randles Hotels, and Alan O'Sullivan, Safe Hands Drycleaners.

THIS IS HOW FORD IS PREPARING YOU FOR DRIVERLESS CARS

LIKE it or not, fully autonomous cars are very much on the agenda for many car manufacturers. You might be surprised to hear, however, that you’re already being mentally prepared for the driverless revolution, set to arrive in the coming years.

Ford vice-president of research and advanced engineering Ken Washington said: “We aim to be testing Grade Four autonomous cars on roads within the next four years. Technically, the cars are nearly there – it’s the legislation that needs to catch up.”

However, it’s not just a battle with the legislators that car manufacturers face. There will also be a battle with customers. The idea of being driven around in a car controlled by a computer is downright scary to some. So, how does Ford aim to tackle this?

“We’re introducing autonomous cars gradually,”

said Ford’s consumer experience expert, Jörg Ullrich.

“Think of it like Spotify. It was a gradual thing. If Spotify had launched straight away, no one would have used it. But first we were introduced to paying for music downloads, and then this advanced to streaming. We aim to do the same with cars. First there were cars that steer themselves into parking spaces while the driver operated the pedals. This seemed a weird concept at first, but now we’re getting used to it.”

Over time, Ford predicts drivers – and those in charge of legislation – will get used to the idea of entirely autonomous cars.

This is how Ford is preparing you for driverless cars Ford isn’t just mentally preparing us for driverless cars. For example, in the early stages of FordPass (launching in April 2016), drivers will be able to find

parking spaces through the app and then pay for parking. As the system advances over the coming years, this will change so that the car detects where it’s parked and for how long – paying automatically by using your card details. Eventually, as autonomous cars arrive, your car will go and find a parking space itself, and pay for it.

“When cars can drive themselves, why would you want to do the horrible, dirty job of refuelling your vehicle?” said Ullrich. “Instead, the car will be able to drive itself to its nearest fuel station, refuel itself and charge it to your credit card, which is saved on the app.”

Ford has already axed fuel filler caps across its range – a move that will make it easier to refuel automatically without the help of humans in the future.

LOVELY HURLING EXHIBITED BY SOUTH KERRY STARS LAST Sunday, an attendance of 1,612 cheered on the Kerry Senior hurlers when they met Liam McCarthy hopefuls Limerick in Fitzgerald Stadium, Killarney. While Kerry lost, it was an impressive performance with them coming from 11 points to within 4 points of Limerick in the second half.

The half-time exhibition game gave players of the South Kerry U12 Development Squad a tremendous opportunity to showcase their hurling skills in front of the large crowd. This development squad is made up of hurlers from Dr Crokes, Kenmare, Kilgarvan, Rathmore and St Pat’s. They put on a great performance in wet and windy conditions and got cheers and applause from the supporters afterwards. Well done to all the hurlers who took part. Thanks to David O’Dea, South Kerry hurling development administrator, and Ger McCarthy, county hurling officer, for organising the half-time game and to the mentors from the various clubs.

Dowling

In loving memory of Albert Klausner formerly Salzburg, Austria and Gortroe, Fossa, Killarney. A wonderful husband, Papa and Opa who died on February 27th 2014.

Each day as evening starts to set The ache builds in my chest I know that I must go to bed And try to get some rest.

I hug my tear-stained pillow close When no one is around And cry for the one I loved and lost And scream without a sound.

Others see me in the day And think I’m doing well But everyday as evening sets I enter my own hell.

Time hasn’t healed my pain at all Or quieted my fears So every night, alone in bed I shed those silent tears.

Goodbye my love Goodbye My love will never die And when my life is through God will lead me straight to you.

In loving memory of my wonderful Papa Albert Klausner formerly Salzburg, Austria and Gortroe, Fossa who died on February 27th 2014.

He never looked for praises He was never one to boast He just went on quietly working For the ones he loved the most.

His dreams were seldom spoken His wants were very few And most of the time his worries Went unspoken too.

He was there, a firm foundation Through all our storms of life A sturdy hand to hold on to In times of stress and strife.

A true friend we could turn to When times were good or bad One of the greatest blessings The man that we called Dad. The day that you were taken My hear was broken in two But I know that one day My path will once again lead to you.

What Makes A Papa God took the strength of a mountain, The majesty of a tree, The warmth of a summer rain, The calm on a quiet sea, The generous soul of nature, The comforting arm of night, The wisdom of the ages, The power of the eagles flight, The joy of a morning in spring, The faith of a mustard seed, The patience of eternity, The depth of a family need, Then God combined these qualities, When there was nothing more to add, He knew His masterpiece was complete, And so, he called it Dad. RU-HE IN FRIEDEN

I often lie awake at night When the world is fast asleep And take a walk down memory lane With tears upon my cheek Remembering you is easy I do it everyday But missing you is a heartache That never goes away.

I hold you close within my heart And there you shall remain To walk with us throughout our lives Until we meet again.

Loved and missed always Your loving son Albi and Tina xxx

There is always a face before us, A voice we would love to hear, A smile we will always remember, Of Paddy, we loved so dear.

Your memory is our keepsake, With which we will never part, God has you in His keeping, We have you in our hearts.

On this the first anniversary of Paddy’s death, thank you to all who attended the Removal and Funeral, sent Mass cards, floral tributes and sympathised.

Many thanks to the wide circle of friends and acquaintances that Paddy cherished throughout the years. Your kindness, support and friendship meant so much to Paddy. The respect the people of Killarney showed as they bid farewell at the Funeral, would have put a smile on Paddy’s face.

To all he visited daily, may God reward you for being that ‘special friend’.

UNDER U10 BOYS INDOOR SOCCER:- On Sunday last, we also had our Under 10 Indoor Soccer County Finals which were played in two venues – Duagh Sports & Leisure Complex and the Nagle Rice Community Centre in Milltown.

MILLTOWN: The southern section of the competition was held in Nagle Rice Community Centre in Milltown. The morning group included six teams Beaufort, Fossa, Kenmare, Killarney South, Rathmore/Gneeveguilla and Spa/ Fenit/Barrow. This section was divided into two groups of three with Beaufort and Kenmare emerging victorious from each of their groups. They then played each other to decide who would qualify from the morning session and this turned out to be a very exciting and tense game. They drew 2-2 after full time and this was still the case after extra time. It then went to penalties and Beaufort came out on top. It was hard luck on Kenmare.

In the afternoon session, there were five teams competing - An Gaeltacht, Annascaul/Camp/Inch, Milltown/Listry, Spa Muckross and Valentia. This section was played on a found robin basis with all teams playing each other. It looked like Milltown/Listry were in pole position after winning their first two games but they were beaten in their next game

by An Gaeltacht which turned out to be the crucial game. An Gaeltacht improved with each game, drawing their first and then winning their remaining three games, UNDER 13 BOYS INDOOR SOCCER FINALS: Check-in at 9.30 am sharp at Milltown.

Killarney South Community Games

Club Captain Liam Hartnett, was delighted to strike his first Golf Stroke in a competition for over three months, in last weekend’s “mixed foursomes” Our Club are most indebted to our sponsors, without them, we just simply could not afford to run our competitions, they are really the “life’s blood” of our ability to continue to be able to provide such magnificent prizes to our competition winners and other prize recipients. Thank you to all of our Sponsors.

The Competition was won by the pairing of Maureen Creedon and Gerard O’Meara, with a magnificent score of 37 points, they were the clear winners, and Gerard in his brief acceptance speech was magnanimous in his praise for the condition of the course, despite the inclement weather conditions. A former Club Captain, when asked as to the playing conditions remarked that “they were horrendous, the par 4s were par 5s, and the par 5s were par 6s at least, and the 13th if we were playing to the actual green rather than the current temporary green which is in play, would have been at least a par 7.!!!

The other prize winners were 2nd Liz and Eamonn O’Connor with 35 points, 3rd were Ursula Daly and Dermot Roche with 33 points, they won on the better back 6 holes, and 4th were Mary and Derry O’Connor with a better back three holes than those in 5th place.

Best Gross was won by Christine and Denis O’Carroll with 24 points. Captain Liam and his partner Eimear O’Donnell returned a creditable 31 points, and in taking the weather conditions, once again, into account the turnout of some 37 couples was indeed a testament of the anxiety within our Club Members to get back out on the Course.

The next Men’s Club competition will be

U10 INDOOR SOCCER: Well done to the U10 Boys who competed in the County U10 Indoor Soccer Finals on Sunday. In the first game they came up against a physically strong Beaufort team. Goals from Liam Hennigan and Szijmon Kieptus in the game but Beaufort ran out winners in the end. In the second game two early goals from Rathmore / Gneeveguilla left us with a mountain to climb but Killarney South played brilliant soccer and two superb goals from Briain O’Shea and Szijmon brought the teams level. Excellent defending from Ronan Fahy and Sennan Cotter combined with great goal-keeping from Noah and Adiel earned us a fully deserved draw and the never-say-die attitude was brilliant to see. Well done to all the Boys who were excellent on the day and thanks also to Milltown Community Centre for hosting the event and to Denis O’Mahony for his excellent refereeing and explaining the rules to the Boys. Well done to all!

Senior News Senior Ladies Cup Semi-final Killarney Cougars 29 Caherciveen 26 A great attendance at the Pres Gym saw Killarney just edge out Caherciveen a tough defensive contest in this Cup Semi-final. Cougars trailed early on but finished the quarter well with baskets

by Ciara Meaney giving Cougars a three point lead. Cougars thanks to Emer O’Shea and Caroline Kelly led by four points at half time. Caherciveen finally got on top of the home side in their best spell of the game with good baskets by Clodagh Quinlan, Sinead Sheehan, Linda Cronin and Lisa O’Sullivan to lead 19-18.

The final quarter was a tense period with the lead changing hands throughout but Cougars hit the front in the last minute with Fiona McSweeney on target from the free throw-line with two points and Caherciveen missing good opportunities from the free throw line and Cougars Ciara Meaney scoring the final basket to give Cougars a very hard earned win a very entertaining finish to the game.

Senior Ladies Div 1 Killarney Cougars 53 Tralee Imperials 50 League leaders Killarney maintained their great run in the league but the Cougars had to stage a comeback in the final quarter to overcome a strong challenge from Imperials. Cougars had an impressive 18-12 first quarter lead with two three pointers each by Cassandra Buckley and Marian O’Callaghan but suffered a blow as they lost through injury the influential Sinead O’Connell. Imperials had a huge improvement in the second quarter to lead by half time 32 - 25 as they dominated this period thanks to good play by of Sinead Mackessy and Grainne Quigley for the visitors as the Killarney ladies struggled to maintain the first quarter tempo as they lost their early grip of the game.

The third quarter was very evenly balanced but the visitors Imperials continued to hold on their advantage to frustrate Cougars and stay ahead 43 - 36 entering the final quarter.

Throughout the season the Killarney ladies have proved to be resilient and unbeaten at home in the league they again found a great response to finish the game as they started with three pointers

by Chloe O’Doherty, Cassandra Buckley and Mags Cronin to take the lead. Despite strong pressure from Imperials they couldn’t get the scores as Cougars pushed ahead and defended well with Allyson Caggio and Emer O’Neill both strong on the boards throughout the game. Cougars now ahead remained composed in the closing minutes and finished with another three pointer by Marian O’Callaghan to secure the points in a very entertaining game a win that keeps Killarney top of the league with the two games remaining.

KERRY MASTERS TOURNAMENT Tralee was the venue for the 2016 Kerry Masters, the tournament & charity fundraising event in Aid of local Special Olympics and the Killarney Cougars Mens again contributed to a good tournament to again contest the final. Cougars came through the group stages with a good win over Sussex to reach the semi-finals to take on the group winners Kilkenny who knocked out Galway and the Cougars again came through a great game with Cougars edging it by just three points to reach the final.

To help mark the occasion and to preserve our history for future Killarney Celtic generations, we will shortly be compiling a Digital Archive of club photos, news reports, memorabilia etc. That will require current and past members to rummage out whatever you might have in display cases, old biscuit tins and photo albums. We’ll be publishing more details here and via the press on the project and how you can get us your materials (and get them safely back).

Results As always, fixtures are only provisional and we advise players and supporters

to confirm with managers or check our facebook page on match day for confirmation.

Munster Junior Cup: Killarney Celtic 1 Shannon 0 (AET) This was a brilliant game to watch, despite a stiff and swirling breeze, with two superb teams almost perfectly matched.

Shannon probably edged the first half narrowly, while Celtic were the better side in the second, and completely dominated the last quarter of an hour as Shannon began to run out of steam – the game was played at a very high tempo all through. Celtic lost defensive linchpin Brian Spillane to injury but management and players remained calm and focused, with Gary Keane dropping back and Joe Hurley stepping seamlessly into midfield.

We couldn’t break through, though, and the game entered extra time. Celtic were still on top and finally made the breakthrough, Conor Randall deftly flicking a long ball from Jamie Spillane to the net for a superb goal.

U16 Premier: Killarney Celtic 3 Castleisland 1 James Lynch put us in front before the break and Josh Fleming and Micheal Devlin came off the bench to clinch the win in the second half.

U15 Kerry Cup: Killarney Celtic B 3 Asdee 3 (Celtic win 8-7 on penalties) Adam Kissane (penalty), Jared Barton, and Lorcan Martins got our goals and we were unlucky not to win it in normal time – credit to the Asdee keeper from a brilliant save of a well-struck Tommy McGuire penalty late on. Celtic went on to win 5-4 on penalties. Best for an excellent Celtic were Tommy McGuire, Jared Barton, Matthew May, and Jack McCarthy.

U13 Cup: St. Brendans Park B 0 Killarney Celtic B 3 Erin Moloney had us leading 1-0 at the break and Ruairi Dorrian and Erin wrapped it up after the break. Harry White and Sean Michael Coffey were excellent for Celtic.

Congratulations to U13 player Harry White on making the Kerry Schoolboys/Schoolgirls Team of the Week.

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

Vital points at stake as Kerry footballers travel to Newry WITH two pointless games behind them, Kerry’s trip north to take on Down in the Allianz Football League Round 3 on Sunday next is certainly one that they will have to bring away something from. Before the League commenced, given the fact that so many of the panel were absent due to injury or other commitments, along with the fact that Kerry were going into the All Ireland title holder’s back yard in Round 1, very few would have put Kerry down for four points at this stage of the competition in the first place, but they certainly would have said that Kerry would have two points in the bag from the Round 2 encounter with Roscommon.

We all know what happened on that occasion, and Kerry are now in a situation where they have to win on Sunday to keep their hopes of a semi final place alive not to mention the very important issue of avoiding relegation from the premier division. Their opponents Down, are in exactly the same position having shipped a 17 points defeat at the hands of Donegal on home soil while also losing out to Monaghan albeit after a much improved performance in Round 2.

Kerry’s Under 21 players, Brian Ó Beaglaoich, Tom O’Sullivan and Barry O’Sullivan, having helped the seniors out in a time of need, return to training with

Jack O’Connor’s crew for the remainder of Kerry’s involvement in that championship but on the flip side of that coin some well-know faces are back in the reckoning for a starting place on Sunday.

Eamonn Fitzmaurice has confirmed that the likes of Marc Ó Sé, Kieran Donaghy, Colm Cooper, Bryan Sheehan, Peter Crowley and Kieran O’Leary will all be vying for a place on Sunday. He also confirmed that Aidan Walsh and Denis Daly (St Marys) and Tadhg Morley and Gavin Crowley (Templenoe) are in training with the Kerry squad right now following their exertions with their respective clubs in the All Ireland Club Championship campaign. Meanwhile the Geaneys, Paul and Mikey, Anthony Maher and James O’Donoghue are all still recovering from autumn surgery.

Right now, as we witnessed when they went 29 scoreless second half minutes against Roscommon, Kerry are badly in need of a creative player such as Colm Cooper up front and with a cock a hoop Donegal just around the corner Kerry need to get back on track on Sunday next in Páirc Esler. The game has a 2pm throw-in time with Martin Duffy in charge of the whistle.

Kerry’s remaining games in the League are at home to Donegal in Austin Stack

Kilcummin

for the music competitions and in the solo-music U12 Olwyn Evans, playing the concertina, performed brilliantly to claim third place and the County bronze medal.

Next up was our U12 music group and here the team of Julieanne Friel, Olwyn Evans, Ewan Evans, Michael Healy, Liam Kerrisk & Ryan McGurl performed a slide and a highland and their note- perfect renditions saw the team awarded first place and the Gold medals from the nine entrants in this category. This group now goes forward to the All-Ireland finals in Athlone in August and many thanks to Grania Evans for her time and dedication in preparing the team.

In the U16 solo-music Kilcummin were represented by Kirill Healy on tin-whistle and a magnificent performance saw Kirill awarded third place and the bronze medal.

The final event of the evening in Keel was the U16 group-music and here the parish was represented by Shauna O’Leary, Clare Stagg, Liam Randles, Kirill Healy and Brandon Griffin and their superb performance of a jig and a reel saw Kilcummin take the gold medals again in a field of nine entries.

A big thank you to Stephen O’Leary who trained this group.

Abbeydorney was then the venue on Sunday for the singing competitions where Kilcummin were represented in three categories. In the U12 solo-singing Amy Sexton did superbly well in a very strong field while in the U16 solo-singing Shauna O’Leary put in an excellent performance to take fourth place and was awarded the certificate.

However, it was the Kilcummin U12 singing group who swept to glory and their rendition of “We go together” from the musical Grease caught the attention of all present and they were duly awarded the Gold medals in a hotly-contested event. So heartiest congratulations to Clare Culhane, Ruth

East Kerry Super League 2nd Round Dr Crokes 7-16 Kilcummin 1-6 We proved far too good for an under strength Kilcummin on Sunday last, in Lewis Road.

Kilcummin started the second half in a positive manner and had a goal from a penalty in the 32nd minute. Our lads controlled matters for the rest of the half and scored 1-10 in this half to register a 7-16 to 1-6 victory.

In Division 2 Cordal were ahead at half time, 0-5 to 0-1 but a Scartaglen goal in the second half proved to be the difference between the sides, and visitors Scartaglen took the league points on a final score of Scartaglen 1-06 Cordal 0-06.
