Reidys granted access in laneway dispute A Circuit Court Judge has this week granted a local business access to a laneway during a dispute between business people in Killarney.

Reidy’s Bar on Main St., needs access to the laneway as a fire escape to comply with fire officer regulations, the court in Killarney heard on Tuesday.

Barrister Elizabeth Murphy had sought an injunction on behalf of David Downey, and Kq Accommodation, a limited company, operating JM Reidy's to force the respondents Donal Culloty, Lynda Culloty, Sean Coyne & Company Limited of No 1 and 2 Main Street, and Gerald O'Sullivan of the Caragh Restaurant, at the corner of New Street and Main Street, to allow an emergency exit through a door which has a false front, onto Main Street.

Judge Terence O’Sullivan granted the interlocutory application - a holding mechanism until the issues are fully tried - because on balance there would be a level of inconvenience including a fire hazard.

Reidy’s was originally a sweet shop and small bar and is a protected structure, but in recent years has been transformed into “a super pub”, the court heard.

There was “a huge degree of dispute” with neighbouring businesses over the exit, the judge noted.

At one point the barrister for Sean Coyne and Co., and others, claimed the operators of Reidy’s, which has now grown to cater for 800 patrons, were “riding roughshod” over other users of the lane and had no right to the lane or the exit.

But Reidy’s had never abandoned the right of way via the laneway, barrister for Reidy's, Elizabeth Murphy said.

“We are not claiming ownership, but we are claiming a right of way,” Ms Murphy said.

Approaches from her clients to unblock access to allow exit “in the unlikely event of a fire”, had met with no meeting of minds, and the matter was being “savagely contested", Ms Murphy said.

She handed deeds dating to 1900 into court, showing the existence of the laneway.

She vigorously denied claims about lack of planning and licensing by the respondents.

Eliza Kelleher, barrister for the respondents, opposing the application, said the old Reidy's bar did not even have alcohol on tap.

“It was just cans and bottles and a gift shop alongside run by Michael’s sister Marie,” Ms Kelleher said.

Out the back were considerable yards and stables.

“But the extension by the company is such it now caters for 800 patrons on the premises. There are two bars in

front and four in the stables and sheds out the back as well as two courtyards and an awning. The premises has been transformed from what it was originally.

“The fact is there has been a change, an utter change of use. There has been no application to extend the licence,” Ms Kelleher further claimed, which was denied.

And while the number of fire exits for the first extensions had been adequate "extra ,extra expansion" in 2018 had necessitated this further exit, she also said.

The court was told how inside Reidy’s there was a sign over a hefty door saying “Emergency Exit. Keep Clear at all times!” which was “like a Guinness sign”, the judge remarked.

The sign was erected by the pub operators and there was actually no-where to go since the gate was locked since the 1970s, when her clients redeveloped the site, and replaced the old gate, locking it, and in 1985 erecting a false front, Eliza Kelleher said.

Reidy’s did not have keys and Mr Sheehan had been a friend of Sean Coyne, now retired. They had golfed together and he had never sought a key or access, Ms Kelleher outlined.

The gates were there always and they had never been used, it was claimed.

Ms Kelleher said Reidy’s were “riding roughshod over the people in this lane".

Judge Terence O’Sullivan granted the interlocutory application until the issues are fully tried.

He said that the “readily openable door” from Reidy's ultimately onto Main Street to act as a fire escape will have to be allowed within seven days.

A simple mechanism like a bar might do it, and Reidy’s offered to meet the expense.

There is to be a full and early court hearing.

Michael and Davy to star in RTÉ show A Killarney youngster who endeared hundreds of thousands on the Late Late Toy Show and met his hero Wexford Hurling Manager Davy Fitzgerald – will appear in an RTE documentary next week.

Michael O’Brien (11), son of Noreen and Michael, will feature in RTE One’s “When Michael Met Davy’ on Monday, August 5, at 6.30pm.

And not only that - Michael exclusively told the Killarney Advertiser yesterday (Thursday) - that Davy rang him yesterday morning – and invited him to watch

this Sunday’s Wexford V Tipperary All-Ireland Hurling Semi-Final – which will be Michael’s first ever trip to Croke Park.

The film crew spent some time with Michael and his family, filmed him giving an inspirational talk with the Wexford team at the Innovate Wexford Park in February, and his time with Davy.

And the St Oliver’s NS pupil said he’s very excited that it’s being aired.

“They filmed us for weeks. The lead up to me meeting Davy and it’ll show my inspiring speech to the team,” Michael told the Killarney Advertiser.

And he added that he’s very excited about Sunday’s game.

“Davy rang and invited me and I’m going to take up the offer. I’m excited and it’ll be my first ever trip to Croke Park. I want to wish the Wexford team the best of luck. They’re one step closer and I have faith they can do it.”

His mom Noreen added that she’s very grateful everyone in the community who supports Michael and their family.

“I want to say thanks for all the support and everyone who helped get him to where he is today.”

“Stop the food wastage” | By Michelle Crean

New tournament will celebrate Niall’s love of football A brand new football tournament is planned to honour the late Niall McGillicuddy, who was one of Kerry’s finest young football players. | By Michelle Crean Yesterday (Thursday), Kerry Manager Peter Keane launched the ‘Niall McGillicuddy Memorial Cup’ at 4pm on the balcony of the International Hotel.

Killarney Legion GAA plan to run the football tournament on Saturday, August 17 in memory of Niall, a former player with their underage academy, who died of Leukaemia last October, aged just 16.

The club said it’s not a fundraiser, but more a celebration of Niall’s love of football.

“Last October the McGillicuddy family suffered an incalculable and devastating loss with the untimely passing of their much loved son and brother Niall,” Pat Moynihan, a member of organising committee, told the Killarney Advertiser.

“The entire community of Killarney and beyond was overwhelmed with sadness and disbelief when this earth-shattering news broke. Nowhere outside of the family was this loss more keenly felt than in Killarney Legion GAA Club.”

He explained that Niall had been a constant presence in Derreen since a very young boy and they had all watched him develop into a talented and dedicated Gaelic footballer, but more importantly into a hugely popular, kind and considerate young man.

“We were all looking forward to sharing in what was destined to be an honour laden

and successful future both on and off the field of play.

“As family, friends and club colleagues of Daithi, Sheila, Ellen and Jane, we all wished there was something we could do in any small way to ease the pain of their unspeakable loss. In truth of course there really isn’t much one can do except offer friendship and companionship which comes naturally in the GAA where club truly is family.”

However, he added that when the family indicated that they might like to do something to commemorate Niall’s memory, they didn’t have to ask again.

“A small committee was set up initially to explore various options, but really it was always going to be football, and following consultation with the family, the ‘Niall McGillicuddy Memorial Cup’ was conceived. This is an U16 competition, the age Niall will always be now, and is a one day competition taking place on August 17. Niall had friends in many clubs through his involvement in school teams, divisional sides and development squads and it was these friendships and indeed great rivalries which dicated the teams to be invited this year,” he said.

“The whole club is involved in the organisation of the event and we are confident that the tournament will be a fitting tribute to a very special and much missed son, brother and friend.”

deserving causes and thanked them for so doing, but stated that there is much room for improvement.

He suggested that legislation may ultimately be the only means of ensuring that all food is used wisely.

“The old adage of ‘wilful waste makes woeful want’ is still applicable,” he added.

The Motion was seconded and will now be forwarded to Government for consideration.

Killarney Celtic FC face judgement day | By Sean Moriarty Killarney Celtic FC will learn at 11pm tonight (Friday) if their bid to become the FAI Club of the Year is successful or not.

The club is one of six finalists in the competition that is taking place today (Friday) as part of the governing body’s Annual General Meeting in County Meath.

Earlier today, club delegates faced a panel of judges where they were subjected to a 15 minute questions and answers session on how they manage and promote the club.

They will also have to make a 15 minute presentation on why they feel they

should be crowned the title.

The local club faces opposition from Middleton FC from Cork, two Galway clubs, Salthill Devon and Colemanstown, Meath’s Enfield Celtic and Newbridge Town from Kildare.

The results will be announced tonight during the awards presentation dinner that forms a central part of the annual convention.

“There is a huge amount of preparation gone into this,” Paul Sherry, Club Chair, told the Killarney Advertiser. “There is huge excitement within the club. Whatever happens it is a judging situation.

This is huge kudos for the club and it sets us apart from any other club in Kerry or in the country.”

One local councillor is calling on the Government introduce legislation making it compulsory for all retail outlets to donate food close to its ‘Best Before Date’ to charity.

Mayor of Killarney, Cllr Michael Gleeson says the amount of perfectly good food which is wasted is outrageous.

At this month’s meeting of Kerry County Council, he proposed that Kerry County Council would call on the Government to introduce legislation that would make it compulsory for shops to donate food that is about to reach its ‘Best Before Date’ to charitable/humanitarian organisations.

“There are many charitable organisations who would gladly accept this food and distribute it wisely,” Cllr Gleeson told the Killarney Advertiser.

“I’m asking to make food which has come close to or reached its ‘Best Before Date’, to make it available to local charities who can then use it wisely to benefit those in need. It will stop food wastage.

At least 30 percent goes to landfill which is a huge waste of resources and money for households.”

He said that tens of thousands of tonnes of food is disposed of in this manner every year.

He acknowledged that some supermarkets at present donate this food to

It will mark O’Sullivan’s first time representing Ireland, but it is Hyde’s third time at the Home International Regatta.

They found out last Sunday that they had made the Irish team following the Irish championships in Inniscarra in Cork over the weekend.

“We have been training two times a day all summer and recently upped that to three times a day,” Molly told the Killarney Advertiser. “We have been following Olympic-style training. We are just after the Irish championships so our fitness is quite high, but we had some recovery time too since last weekend.”

Ballyspillane residents plan 40 year celebration | By Michelle Crean Ballyspillane residents are planning a big celebration this Sunday to mark 40 years since the estate was built.

It will begin with a Mass at 2pm in the field behind the Family Resource Centre, and then locals and visitors alike are welcome to enjoy refreshments in the centre and have a chance to view a special photo exhibition marking years gone by.

And not only that, but locals have created a unique booklet which will be distributed to every house in the estate.

“Mass will be celebrated by Fr Niall Howard in the field, weather permitting,” David Foran, Chair of the Residents Association, told the Killarney Advertiser.

“It will be a nice community gathering and everyone is welcome including past and present residents.”

Funding for 330 copies of the booklet was provided by Kerry County Council and will be distributed for free to the 216 houses on Saturday, he explained.

In it, there’s a copy of the original planning permission dated 1978, prior to building the estate, photos of when the

Signs of Lyme disease A concerned local has this week erected a make shift public sign warning walkers about ticks and the deadly effects of Lyme Disease. | By Michelle Crean

Although a leaflet covered in plastic, he local feels that something is better than nothing and is calling on officials to put up proper permanent signage about the danger of tick bites.

The leaflet, which advises the public what to do if they’re bitten by a tick, was placed on the gate at the Kings Bridge entrance to Killarney National Park, opposite the cathedral.

The concerned local spoke exclusively to the Killarney Advertiser this week explaining why it was so important to get

the message out there.

“There are no signs there in the park warning about ticks and Lyme disease,” the local said.

“Something had to be done. People need to know about this. It’s been known for about seven years now. But why isn’t it been made known to the public?”

The local hopes the action will spur officials to finally put up proper signage to help warn the public.

“The OPW and the Council should be doing this. It’s people’s health. Hopefully it will make a difference to someone’s life.”

Locals plan to hand petition to bishop

Kilcummin parishioners are not going down without a fight – with plans to hand deliver a 1,200 signature petition to Bishop Ray Browne. | By Sean Moriarty The action comes after locals held another public meeting on Tuesday night in their continued fight against the loss of their parish priest.

A delegation from the Pastoral Council had met with the Bishop last week in an effort to reverse his decision.

Parishioners were left shocked and angry last month to learn that they’d no longer have a resident priest after the Bishop made the decision to move Fr Eamon Mulvihill to the parish of Castlegregory.

Priests from the Killarney area will now serve the Kilcummin parish – which is one of the biggest in Ireland with three schools, two nursing homes and two cemeteries.

It is all part of a restructuring project, initiated by the bishop, due to the lack of new priests coming through the ranks.

Tuesday night’s public meeting organised by the Pastoral Council explained to locals the outcome of the recent meeting with the bishop.

“There was a suggestion from the floor that our next step is to take the petition to the bishop,” Cllr Moloney told the Killarney Advertiser.

It is understood that a large proportion of those who signed the petition would accompany members the Pastoral Council when they hand in the petition.

However, Cllr Moloney and other council members pointed out that this would not be an organised protest and that

attending the hand-over was up to each individual.

“It is up to the people if they want to join us, but we won’t be rallying the troops either,” Cllr Moloney added.

Six priests, three from Killarney and the respective parish priests from Fossa, Glenflesk and Firies will look after the Kilcummin parish in an on-going six week rota system.

Locals believe this cannot work and cited a similar issue in Keel, Castlemaine where the priests are on a four-week rota.

Locals believe that the priests will be too busy looking after their own parish and that their visits to other parishes will suffer.

“There was no priest available to say 10am Mass at Keel Church on Tuesday morning this week,” said concerned local John Foley. “Three days in to a new system and it is already not working. The same will happen in Kilcummin. There are six priests serving the 15,000 people in the Killarney area, so what happens if one of the priests on rota is too busy with duties in his own parish. That is why the people of Kilcummin are up in arms.”

There are also concerns that the pastoral house in Kilcummin will be left idle, with some locals calling for it to be made available to retiring priests.

It is understood that Bishop Browne agrees with this in principle, but that it would be up to each retiring priest if he wanted to accept relocating to Kilcummin not.

THE

x

Columnist ANNE LUCEY gives her take on happenings in Killarney, Kerry and beyond

“Tourists are being spread like a pound of butter” Tourist numbers are down in Killarney. We can all see it. Maybe it’s Brexit, maybe it’s a build-up of years of traffic congestion left unattended, or maybe it’s the onslaught of Airbnb and the single focus marketing of the Wild Atlantic Way and the pushing of people around the county and the country choking up the rural roads.

It is a perfect storm this summer, much of it thanks to the way authorities like the main tourist agencies and the national and local authorities can simply ignore the voices on the ground here, and get away with it.

The Wild Atlantic Way may be bringing a few bob here and there to campsites and the odd B&B, but it encourages the idea of moving around and taking to the road after one or two nights and getting to know no place fully as a result.

It has also undone years of regulation which helped build the industry into more than just a few weeks of the summer.

Tourists are indeed being spread like a pound of butter now and the upshot will be to undermine the professional establishments so hard won in the industry and drag us backwards.

And the suspicion is that rather than fix our roads and invest properly in traffic management, the grand plan is spread people around away from the popular destinations, like Killarney.

But while continental Europe bakes in the heat, why can’t the marketing geniuses hit the marketing bucket and the continent with ads about the cool of Killarney?

I think Killarney must once more take on board the old story of The Little Red

Hen. It needs to do it themselves, like the little red when it comes to marketing. Really, handing marketing over to Kerry County Council, who will never not do what they are told from on high, and will take what they can from Killarney to hand over to Listowel and Tralee and without too much resistance, is only inviting the fox in to steal the bednights.

Speaking of roads, if we weren’t convinced about the run-down of Killarney as a tourist destination, then all we need do is look at the roads and the state of them to some of the more popular beauty spots.

Take the closure of the N71 to Dinis, all of a sudden, to repair an embankment that had slipped; or the awful state of the road, like a lunar landscape to the back of Torc, and the old Kenmare Road.

But worse again are the potholes on the way to Muckross House. And the road to Dinis is actually dangerous for cyclists. What is going on? As a person from old Killarney stock said to me this week, why can’t the Trustees of Muckross House buy a few barrows of tar and chip and get the potholes filled? Why indeed. They are surely not waiting for permission from Transport Infrastructure Ireland!

All that golf!

I am one of those who knows nothing about golf apart from having to follow a few golfers around a course as part of my work.

I gaze in awe at people who have time to spend all day on manicured greens, and wonder how they don’t die of boredom!

In company I have developed the trick of dropping the right name. The past number of years “McIlroy”, said knowingly and noddingly, has got me out of a heap of trouble.

The importance of golf is not to be underestimated: I couldn’t believe the homecoming in Clara with Lowry was the number one item on RTE News on Tuesday night. It was ahead of Boris Johnson’s selection as new leader of the Conservatives and the game that is Brexit. Some people thought this was because the golf was a feel good story and Boris was simply too rich and too elitist.

But, I said golf is hardly sport for the common people, no matter how many buckets of turf Lowry’s grandfather was told to bring from the shed when he won the scratch cup in Mullingar! And on Thursday, I hear we are to get the Ryder Cup to Adare and “it will attract thousands of wealthy tourists”.

Over the moon with Boris I strongly suspect Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson had a glance at the Killarney Advertiser last week and the humble column of this scribe – only, instead of going with the analogy of the smallest Lichtenstein, Mr Johnson reached for the moon.

This was one giant step too far for those who love to hate him. A lot of people are not over the moon about Boris. But I am not so negative, and I don’t share the antipathy towards the new PM of most of my colleagues who all read the Guardian and the Irish Times.

Last Monday, he wrote that surely if it

is possible to have a moon landing, it is possible to come up with a solution to the Irish border. I am with him on this.

He has got much stick for this analogy.

But do people not understand he wrote this as a columnist in a week full of features about the lunar anniversary? It is not rocket science! People are writing books in this town to capture that anniversary!

And he is a colourful writer, not to say a colourful figure. He has a way with words, like Churchill had. He has an enviable education in Greek and Latin.

It would be a mistake to underestimate him because we resent his plummy accent.

I’m with Bertie Ahern, the pragmatist who thinks Boris is a very intelligent person, very well educated, “knows the game” of politics because he was long enough covering it as a journalist before becoming directly involved, and that he is a clever person, when he wants to be. Even outside of Brexit, we should get on the right side of him - there are things other than Brexit that are important to us, Bertie counselled. Bertie the pragmatist - we could do with him at this trying time. I only hope Leo and Simon will listen to him and end the King Billy act staying high off the ground on their high horses on the border!

New Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

More low energy homes to be built in Killarney

The news came during a visit by Minister for Housing Eoghan Murphy at the Sruthán na Sailí development in Derreen, Killarney.

The Derreen development, which commenced in January 2019, consists of 61 two and three-bed dwellings, built using themohouse’s unique low energy building system.

Due for completion in early 2020, this is

one of Clúid’s largest new build developments currently under construction.

Cluid is a not-for-profit housing organisation, delivering high quality, affordable homes to people in housing need.

As well as being up to 60 percent faster than traditional construction, the houses have superior levels of airtightness, considerably reducing their heating costs. These houses are ‘nearly Ze-

“We are delighted to welcome Minister Murphy to the development here in Killarney, as it enters the second stage of construction,” James O’Halloran, New Business Manager of Clúid said.

“An innovative social housing project in

Ireland, it not only addresses the need for rapid-build homes but also creates greener, more energy efficient buildings, with lower fuel bills. Partnering with Kerry County Council, Rebuilding Ireland and themohouse, who deliver residential projects across Ireland and the UK, has allowed us to meet our goal of providing high quality housing for those who need it, here in Kerry.”

And not only have they doubled their size – going from 24 stations to 38, which includes five barber stations with red and chrome chairs specially imported they’ve added some new features including a Nespresso coffee dock which will serve both clients and members of the public, as well as a retail area where customers can browse the new retail space or relax in the new waiting area.

For 30 years Sean Taaffe and his team have been looking after the locks of the people of Kerry and beyond. Over the years it has expanded and now employs over 60 people ranging from hair to

beauty, make-up and nails.

“After seven months of refurbishment the Sean Taaffe flagship salon at the courtyard Lewis Road in Killarney is opening its doors,” Sean Taaffe told the Killarney Advertiser.

“We broke through and connected unit 10 existing salon to unit 11 next door. The new salon will include a Nespresso coffee dock which will serve both clients and members of the public, and a retail area to browse through with ranges including Morrocan oil, Joico, Alfa Parf, GHD, Colour Wow. The men’s zone St4men has had a complete makeover too with awesome new chrome chairs and a new waiting area.”

And Sean has not been resting on his laurels as he is also launching a professional tool range this week including precision hairdressing scissors and cutting combs.

“We are delighted to launch our new

range,” Sean said.

“It all started with people continually asking when we were teaching seminars where they could get the tools we use, and we saw a niche in the market.”

The new equipment will be available from Sean Taaffe Education www.seantaaffe.com and also on their Facebook shop.

He has put a huge focus on ongoing education and training and this is what Taaffe attributes the success of the brand to.

“It’s easy for a company to get on top, but to stay on top is always going to be the toughest job as there is only one way to go. The team at Sean Taaffe understand their mission to provide bespoke hairdressing services at a consistently high standard, and they know that it is client satisfaction that is the key to the salon’s success.”

Top jockey hints a Killarney return Champion jockey Frankie Dettori hopes to return to race in Killarney next year following the welcome he received in the town last week.

Although he narrowly missed out on riding a winner in his four action-packed races, the charismatic Italian was thrilled with the massive reception he received with the bumper attendance affording the three-time champion jockey the type of greeting normally reserved for All-Ireland winning Kerry teams.

“When I was asked to come here it was a good opportunity to see this beautiful part of the country and to have a good time,” Dettori said.

He was particularly impressed by what he

described as the “beautiful setting” of the Ross Road course and said the track was challenging, rides really well and was in tip-top shape.

“This was the most successful July Racing Festival ever staged at the venue with an enormous crowd and worldwide coverage showing Killarney at its very best,” Killarney Race Company Chairman, Gerard Coughlan, said. “Dettori has hinted a return for a few days next year as he was absolutely blown away with the welcome, the town and the scenery.”

Sanctuary Runners join Run Killarney The Kerry Sanctuary Runners participated in last Saturday’s Run Killarney event for the second time.

BIODEGRADABLE: Single-use bottles were replaced with compostable cups for water at the various water stations along the routes and at the finish line.

3000 enjoy plastic free Killarney event

A plastic bottle-free event proved a huge success at last Saturday’s Gleneagle Hotel Run Killarney. | By Sean Moriarty Single-use bottles were replaced with compostable cups for water at the various water stations along the routes and at the finish line.

More than 3000 runners took part in either the half-marathon or 10k, with the longest sections featuring a run from Moll’s Gap to the Gleneagle Hotel via the National Park.

“Of particular significance this year was

the launch of our plastic bottle-free initiative,” Race Director, Oliver Kirwan, said.

“We are always working towards making our events as green as possible.”

In the half-marathon, Cork dominated the field, the first male was Alan O’Brien from Eagle AC in Cork, coming in at a time of 1hr 09mins 13 seconds. In 2nd place was Michael Morgan, St Finbarr’s AC, Cork (1hr 10mins 44 sec) and 3rd place went to Vivian Foley also from Ea-

They are a non-profit group, founded in February 2018 by journalist Graham Clifford from Kerry, which enables people to run alongside, and in solidarity with, those in direct provision, at runs across Ireland. As part of this year’s event, Run Killarney teamed up with the Sanctuary Runners to help raise awareness of their mission and to collect donations of running gear from the public and those taking part in the race.

“Thanks to the support of the Run Killarney organisers we had 10 runners from direct provision centres in Kerry and Cork running in the 10k and half marathon races,” Graham said. “They were joined by 20 Irish Sanctuary Runners and it was wonderful to receive as much support and encouragement as we did.”

Competitors from all over Ireland and more than 150 international athletes from 15 countries, including China, Brazil, Republic of Congo, Australia and gle AC, Cork (1hr 11mins 05 sec). The first female home in the half marathon was Teresa Murphy from Kent, UK, coming home in 1hr 22mins 46 sec followed by Helen Healy from Raheny in Dublin in 1 hr 24min 20 sec and in third place, Claire O’Brien from Watergrasshill AC, Cork, in 1hr 24mins 46 sec.

The 10k race got underway from the Gleneagle Hotel at 9.15am. First across the line in the 10K was Kieran McKeown, Watergrasshill AC, Cork, 33 mins 28sec, first female to come in was Kerry native Mary Daly at 38 mins 01 sec. Other category

UAE competed in the event.

"I got involved with the Sanctuary Runners because I wanted something to do and I thought the exercise would be important, but quickly I realised it was about a lot more than just running,” Yolanda Mhene from Zimbabwe, who ran the 10k with the Sanctuary Runners, said. “This was about respect. It was about integration. It was about helping us to better understand Irish people and about helping Irish people to understand that we are individuals and not just asylum seekers. It has been wonderful to run in Killarney with our Sanctuary Runner friends."

The Sanctuary Runners were established in February 2018, since then they have run in various national events including the Cork City Marathon. The Sanctuary Runners are expanding nationally and have partnered with the parkrun series with groups now established in eight locations across the country including Killarney’s weekly outings on the ground of Killarney House. wins in the 10k included Ger Daly who won the overall male wheelchair category in a time of 01hr 22min 02 sec and Ross Gallagher in the visually impaired category in 1hr 01 min 52 secs.

“What an amazing day we had at Run Killarney, next year will be our 10th year and it’s fantastic to see this event is still so popular with local people and visitors alike. We are privileged to be able to run this event in such a spectacular setting.

Well done to everyone who took part in the event, whether they broke their PB or walked at a leisurely pace.”

Family fun day planned at the Outlet Centre The Killarney Outlet Centre is celebrating 20 years and to mark the very special event – they have planned a family fun day this Sunday.

There’ll be plenty of free fun with face painting, balloon modelling, bouncy castles, magic shows and Punch and Judy drama, from 2pm to 5pm, and all are welcome.

Over the past 20 years Killarney Outlet Centre has become a landmark shopping destination that is now a favourite port of call for locals and visitors.

Steering the Killarney Outlet Centre in the right direction since 1999 has

been, Manager Paul Sherry, and Office Manager Noreen O’Sullivan, both very familiar faces in the commercial life of Killarney.

“At the very outset we set out to create a real family-orientated space and we are delighted that we achieved that goal,” Paul said.

“We love seeing kids having great fun around the place and they always have a fabulous time when we host our family fun days. We are really grateful to everybody for their wonderful support, loyalty and friendship over the past 20 years and we look forward to what the future brings.”

Conor Myles and Dan O’Connor,

Partners of Terence F. Casey & Company Solicitors, 99 College Street, Killarney, present information on legal issues

DO I NEED AN ENGINEER WHEN PURCHASING A PROPERTY When you find a property you wish to buy and the Vendor has accepted your offer through an Auctioneer/ Estate Agent, you will be required to lodge an initial booking deposit with that Auctioneer which is refundable up and until the time the Contracts are signed.

After the payment of the booking deposit, the Auctioneer will issue a Sales Advice Note to the Solicitor for the Vendor and the Purchaser.

Contracts will then be exchanged between the Solicitors and the Purchaser’s Solicitor will investigate title and recommend the property to be surveyed by a Surveyor/ Engineer or Architect to confirm there are no structural problems with the property and to confirm the position with regards planning, boundaries and services.

It is important to note the principle of “buyer beware” (caveat emptor) applies when you are purchasing a property.

If you do not complete the survey, and discover some defects subsequent to the purchase, you will not be in a position to take any form of action against the Vendor seeking redress for these defects, because the Vendor has no legal obligation to disclose any structural problems.

Accordingly, a Purchaser must satisfy

themselves that all issues relating to the structure of the dwelling are in order. When purchasing a property, you must obtain good marketable title and in this respect an engineer will need to investigate the access to the property and services affecting the property.

The Engineer will also ensure there are no planning issues and that the boundary of the property is in accordance with the maps provided by the Vendor’s solicitor. It is essential an Engineer is appointed to investigate these matters prior to you signing Contracts Once the Purchaser’s Solicitor receives the Engineer’s survey and is satisfied there are no issues to be raised from the survey and that all title matters are in order, the Purchaser will then be advised it is in order to proceed It is important to note in the event that you are securing a mortgage to purchase the property, it is vital that you have a letter of loan offer in place prior to signing Contracts.

The above is a discussion piece only and does not purport to be legal advice and should not be relied upon as such. In respect of any specific circumstances, you should consult your solicitor to obtain specific legal advice and Terence F. Casey & Company do not accept any responsibility for any errors or omissions herein.

Sunshine and smiles for Sarah and David

Not only was the sun shining – but there was plenty of smiles all round on July 6, as bride Sarah Corcoran and groom David Dempsey celebrated their wedding.

The couple were married in St Mary's Cathedral, Killarney by Fr Sean Jones, followed by a reception in the Muckross Park Hotel.

Sarah is daughter of Sue and Tom Corcoran from Boolteens, Castlemaine.

David is the son of Rita Dempsey and Brian (RIP) of Blarney Park, Kimmage, Dublin.

Chief Bridesmaid at their wedding was Edwina McGillycuddy while Rosetta Cotter and Elma Hennessy did a great job as Sarah’s Bridesmaids.

Best Man was Gerry O'Donoghue and Groomsmen Paul Hurley and Terry Murphy. Flowergirl was Sarah’s niece Roisín Corcoran, while her godson Ronan McGillycuddy and David's nephew Jaxon Dempsey did a great job as Pageboys.

Photographer Breda Daly took the couple and their bridal party to the Muckross Abbey and Killarney Lakes. And the couple had a great night dancing with family and friends to The Vinyls at their reception.

“Our engagement was a total surprise,” Sarah told the Killarney Advertiser.

“We were meant to have a busy day

painting our house. We got up and had breakfast as normal and walked our dog Elmo on the Curragh. We walked up this little hill and I was busy taking in the views. When I turned around David said that in fact we weren't doing any painting and he had a day full of surprises planned.

He got down on one knee and proposed.

We then went for a lovely boat trip on the canal and dinner later that evening. Our wedding was the same date that we got engaged. We were very lucky as most of our suppliers we knew straight away from family weddings.”

And she added that their wedding went better than they ever could have hoped for. “From start to finish we could not stop smiling. It was very special to have all our loved ones together in one place wishing us well.”

Sarah and David spent some time in Singapore for their honeymoon and on Wednesday headed to Thailand, as they’re taking some much needed time out after months of wedding planning.

They will reside in Newbridge Co. Kildare.

Kayne’s Bar is a favoured location for the Egan family from Coolick, Kilcummin, but Sunday was an extra special day.

They celebrated their wedding anniversary at the popular Muckross Road venue for three decades so it was the obvious choice when their sons and daughters wanted to organise a surprise party for them.

The event was organised by their daugh-

ters Stephanie and Sarah and sons Christopher and Mark. Their third son Darragh is currently based in Canada, but he was able to join the party via a Skype call.

“As a family, we love the place,” Stephanie told the Killarney Advertiser. “They are very good there. I am getting married myself next year and I am having the reception in the Dromhall too.”

Also at the party where their two grandchildren Jack and Oisin.

Afterwards, the family carried on the party at Corkery’s on High Street where they caught up with several of Bridget’s nine sisters and five brothers.

Brehon celebrates 1000th wedding

The team at The Brehon in Killarney celebrated a particularly special wedding last Friday, when they rolled out the red carpet for their 1000th bridal party.

Denise Lynch from Killarney and Mark O’Connor from Meath were the 1000th couple to celebrate their wedding at The Brehon and so the team at the hotel presented the happy couple with a special gift to mark the occasion.

Denise is the daughter of Denis Lynch and Joan Lynch (RIP) from Tralee Road, while Mark is the son of Gerry O’Connor and Colette O’Connor from County Meath. The couple were married in St Mary’s Cathedral in Killarney.

30 YEARS: Bridget and John Egan celebrated at the Dromhall Hotel on Sunday with their daughters Stephanie and Sarah and sons Christopher and Mark, their daughter-in-law Sarah Nagle, and their two grandchildren Jack and Oisin.

“It was a special day for Denise and Mark, but behind the scenes we were celebrating too,” Sinead McCarthy, General Manager at The Brehon, said. “We are very proud to have hosted 1000 weddings in just 15 years. It is testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team. We are grateful to each of the 1000 couples that celebrated their weddings with us, and also to all those couples that are counting down the days to their Brehon wedding.”

GARDEN MAGIC

Gardening - By Debby Looney

Debby is available for advice and garden consultations, just call 086 6088156 or email barnhillky@gmail.com

Geraniums can tolerate all soil types This year so far has been an excellent year for growth. Perennials are doing exceptionally well, though maybe the wind has wreaked havoc on them this week.

I have noticed that many are not flowering quite as prolifically as they did last year, as there has not been the heat and sunshine of 2018. As always, the herbaceous border is brought to life by the geranium. Not the classic Red geranium of window boxes, but the true geranium, a hardy, colourful, strong outdoor type!

Almost all varieties of geranium available are fully hardy, and tolerate all soil types except waterlogged soil. Most do well in shade as well as a sunny spot, they do not mind wind, and, perhaps most importantly, slugs do not seem to like them. They flower in shades of white, pink, mauve, blue and purple, and provide colour from May to October. One of the earliest varieties to flower is G. phaeum, a hardy plant which is has masses of purple, maroon, violet or white flowers from April onwards. They grow to about 30cm tall and are of an upright habit.

G. sanguineum is low growing covered in pink cup-shaped flowers all summer.

The leaves are toothed and flowers range from white to pale pink to cerise.

It keeps flowering until the first frosts, and is ideal for rockeries. G. Ann Folkard is a favourite - it has a lax habit producing long shoots with golden leaves. It has an abundance of magenta flowers, with almost black centres and veins, from May until frost. It covers a large area and is ideal for keeping weeds down. It has

lime green foliage, glowing golden when positioned in full sun. ‘Dragon Heart’ has the same dark magenta flowers, but has a darker green, smaller leaf, and grows a little denser. It is a great one to keep the weeds down. Another favourite would be Johnson’s Blue, often said to be the bluest, and longest flowering of the geraniums. It has a fairly upright habit, and if this is what your space needs, don’t be tempted into buying Jolly Bee, Rozanne or Heidi. Though these are all beautiful plants with blue flowers, they are all low growing and need a lot of horizontal space! An evergreen variety is G. cantabrigiense ‘Biokovo’, a low growing geranium with bright green foliage and pink flowers. G. machorrizum stays green in my garden over winter, with the added bonus of scarlet leaves in the autumn. G. renardii has soft, hairy foliage, an upright habit and white flowers with dark veins. It is quite unusual, but absolutely lovely! G. cinereum is a dwarf variety which is ideal for alpine gardens, and G. x oxonianum is probably one of the oldest, most common varieties we have - ‘Wargrave Pink’ often growing in hedgerows near old cottages. One of the largest varieties is G. maderense, or the Madeira geranium, which grows to almost a meter tall when in flower. Unfortunately it is a biennial, and I advise anyone who has this stunning plant to collect the seeds. All geraniums can be divided in early spring, however make sure to dig deep, as their roots can go down quite a bit, and the more the main roots are damaged, the longer it takes for them to recover.

Micro Track fundraising takes to the streets | By Sean Moriarty The team behind the Killarney Micro Track will take to streets of Killarney this week in an effort to raise more funds to get the project completed.

The track, which is currently under construction near St Brendan’s College, needs €150,000 to complete the project.

Killarney Micro Track has joined forces with Killarney Valley Classic and Vintage Club (KVCVC) and will raffle a 30-yearold tractor later this year.

It is hoped that the raffle will raise close to one third of the shortfall. Proceeds from the raffle will be shared with ACT for Meningitis.

Tomorrow (Saturday), committee members will be at Daly’s SuperValu on Park Road selling raffle tickets for €10 each.

Next Friday night they will be on Main St in the town for the same reason.

“We will still need €150,000 once the construction is finished,” said project co-ordinator Jer Griffin. “We have broken this down into €50,000 units, so we are having a big push with raffle sales this week. Our next step is to produce a brochure to target private donations.”

The Micro Track, also known as the South and East Kerry Community Rural Track Project, will be located at St Brendan’s College, and will benefit up to 2,000 students from nearby schools, athletic clubs, Paralympic athletes, Special Olympics athletes and community groups.

read Murder In The Missions: A True Story

By Jean Harrington

RELEASED: 18 JULY ‘Murder in the Missions’ is the true story of two Irish priests whose lives were forever changed when they moved to an island devastated by corruption and greed. Fr Des Hartford and Fr Rufus Halley left Ireland in the 1960s to work in dialogue and conflict resolution between Muslim and Christian communities in the Philippines, a country which was rapidly descending into civil war. For many years the priests lived peacefully as Christians in a Muslim-dominated region on the island of Mindanao, their mission not to convert but rather to serve the local people. But despite their commitment to peace and non-violence, both were targeted by Muslim insurgents. Fr Hartford was kidnapped by the Moro National Liberation Front and used as a bargaining tool in their negotiations with the Philippine Government. Fr

Halley was murdered by Islamic extremists. Recreated from interviews, diaries, letters and testimony, ‘Murder in the Missions’ tells their story.

Credit Union celebrates 50 years in Killorglin

For 50 years it’s been a huge part of community life in Killorglin - so if was only fitting to celebrate with the community on Friday.

Cara Credit Union on Mill Road had a great turnout as they opened their doors to the public.

Kenny the Clown was on hand to entertain the children with his creative and impressive balloon modelling skills and for a special treat, free ice creams were handed out from the ice cream van parked outside for the day that was in it. Ellie the Elephant, Cara Credit Union’s Youth Mascot enjoyed the day taking photographs

Trump CORNER

and handing out stickers and goodies to all her young credit union savers.

A coffee dock station serving tea/coffee and refreshments was also a treat for members while they visited the office.

And there was also a look back on the past with a ‘Down through the Years’ exhibition on display for members while they queued in the credit union, and a chance to win €50 on the hour, every hour, throughout the day.

“We were delighted to celebrate our 50th anniversary in Killorglin with our members and the local community in Killorglin,” Pa Laide, CEO of Cara Credit Union, said.

“We had a great turnout and really appreciated the good wishes from our members, past directors and staff who we met on the day, the local businesses and community groups who came down and wished us well. Here’s to another 50 years serving the financial needs of all our members throughout Killorglin.”

Helen Geary, Cara Credit Union’s Branch Manager in Killorglin added that their anniversary celebrations were a great success and that the photo exhibition will be on display in the Killorglin office for the next two weeks.

“We were delighted with the large turnout of people who came to visit and spend time with us on such a joyous occasion. If anyone has photographs/memorabilia/timelines of Killorglin that we can add to complete this showcase, please call in and let us know so we can take copies and update the exhibition.”

Trump and Boris are cut from the same cloth A man with a funny mop of blond hair, prone to diplomatic gaffes and a not so politically correct sense of humour - is the new leader of the country.

This may have been an introduction to a news item in November 2016, at the time Donald Trump became President of the United States.

Or it could have been written an-

ywhere in the world this week following the announcement that Boris Johnson is the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

“We have a really good man who’s going to be the prime minister of the UK now, Boris Johnson. Good man. He’s tough and he’s smart.

They are saying Britain Trump.

They call him Britain Trump. And people are saying that is a good thing. They like me over there.

Owner JP McManus has spent millions on the hotel and golf resort and the course is now recognised as one of the finest in the country.

The Government met in County Donegal yesterday, as the Killarney Advertiser was going to press, and it is expected they will approve a formal memorandum with the PGA European tour as well as a licensing and marketing agreement.

It’s understood this memorandum will provide evidence of funding for things like security, traffic management, marketing and improvements to the infrastructure close to the venue.

The Ryder Cup, which was last held in Ireland in 2006, is likely to attract more than 200,000 visitors to the region – generating more than €150m in revenue.

That’s what they wanted. That’s what we need. It’s what they need.

He’ll get it done. Boris is good, he’s going to do a good job,” Trump has said.

This partnership will have far reaching effects on Ireland. Neither of them seem to fully understand the Good Friday Agreement and what it stands for. Johnson is adamant he will deliver Brexit on October 30 – deal or no deal. No deal will bring a hard border and, without doubt a return to paramilitary activity. No border would be seen as an attempt to break up the Union, considered an act of treason by most Brexiteers.

New underage Rose soccer competition launched The Rose Bowl, a new girls underage soccer tournament, has been launched to coincide with the 60 Year Celebrations of the Rose of Tralee International Festival.

Organised by the Kerry School Boys and Girls League, the day-long event for Under 13s from eight leagues will take place at Mounthawk Park, on August 24.

The Rose Bowl sponsored by Trophyworld will kick-off at 11am on the day and the Rose of Tralee, Kirsten Mate Maher, will present the trophy to the winning

captain that afternoon.

“It will be an exciting day at the excellent Mounthawk Park when up to eight Leagues will come to Tralee for a great day of girls soccer with the Rose of Tralee presenting the Bowl to the winners,” Pádraig Harnett, who’s the Chair of the Kerry Schoolboys Girls League and a member of the FAI National Women's Committee, said. “The Rose Bowl promises to be a wonderful occasion for the visiting players, their families and mentors when they get to experience the family fun festival of events in Tralee in August.”

INTO THE UNKNOWN: Killarney Girl Guide members, Sarah Kenny and Sarah Canavan, are all set to take part in the 'Explorer Belt Challenge' in a top secret foreign country.

Killarney girls to live on €3.25 a day

Two Killarney women are all set to take part in Irish Girl Guides’ toughest challenge – by surviving on just €3.25 a day while hiking 180km over 10 days.

Sarah Kenny (23) from Firies, and Sarah Canavan (22) from Knockasartnett, will take part in the ‘Explorer Belt Challenge’ in a yet unknown foreign country, where they will have to carry all their camping and cooking equipment, clothes, food and water.

The two Sarahs, who are both Leaders of Sika Senior Branch, Killarney, the senior branch of Irish Girl Guides for 14-30 year olds, will also have to complete a number of projects during the challenge. These will involve completing a service for the local community and finding out about local history and culture without using a smartphone!

While the duo have trained over the past few months by hiking and regular gym workouts, it has been impossible for them to prepare for the project as they will not know where in Europe they are going until they arrive with their rucksacks at Dublin Airport on Sunday.

Most of their training has taken place separately as they are currently living in different parts of the country. Sarah Canavan lives in Galway where she is studying Commerce in NUI Galway and Sarah Kenny is in Dublin where she is a dietitian in St James’s Hospital.

While both are looking forward to the

challenge, some nerves are beginning to set in. The fact that they will be taking it on together gives them some encouragement.

“We are well used to working together as we have been in Guides together since we were 13, and we have completed most of our Guiding challenges together,” Sarah Kenny said.

Both girls successfully completed the Irish Girl Guides’ Chief Commissioner’s Award last year when, as a team, they hiked 60 kilometres over five days in Co Waterford and survived on €3.50 a day.

“I feel the mentality side of the challenge will be the hardest,” she said.

“I get extremely grumpy when I’m lacking sleep but the best thing about doing it with Sarah is that she understands that and it’s the same vice versa.”

Sarah Canavan added that another big problem for them will be food. “I’m vegetarian and Sarah is allergic to nuts and gluten, so we’ll be having a lot of eggs,” she said.

The Explorer Belt survival adventure is being organised by two experienced IGG leaders, Katherine Ryan and Jemma Lee, who themselves successfully completed the Explorer Belt Challenge in Germany four years ago.

BICYCLE: Johnny Maguire with the bike.

Stolen bike – but this is no ordinary bike!

One of Killarney’s best-known bikes has been stolen from outside its owners house on the Park Road this week.

The distinctive woman’s High-Nelly bicycle has been used by the Tidy Towns Killarney group as a promotional vehicle and has appeared in many major events in the town like the St Patrick’s Day Parade.

The bike is owned by Betty O’Farrell. Her son-in-law Johnny Maguire is one of the driving forces behind Tidy Towns Killarney.

The bike features a back-box specially designed for litter picking. It was stolen from the rear of his home on Park Road.

“It is a mystery,” Johnny told the Killarney Advertiser. “All I know is that it is missing

and I want it back, or more to the point my mother-in-law wants it back. It is of sentimental value to her. It is 70-yearsold and would have a monetary value to a collector, but it’s not something that would be easily sold around Killarney as everyone knows this bike.

Anyone with information can contact Johnny at his Bricín Restaurant on 064 6634902.

Meanwhile, the Killarney Tidy Town Meitheal group are taking a break for a couple of weeks. The hard-working volunteer group meet every Monday evening to litter-pick the streets of Killarney. This Monday evening they will attend annual Mass in Aghadoe, and the following Monday is the Bank Holiday.

Normal service will resume on August 12.

Beauty - By Jill O'Donoghue

Jill is available for advice and beauty consultations, at Killarney Toning & Beauty Studio. Call 064 6632966

Treat your feet with a relaxing pedicure Feet have to do so much work it’s important not to forget them, especially in the summer, when we are barefoot more often.

Don’t let the hard skin build up because with the heat, we can get swollen ankles.

Having a pedicure gets the circulation flowing and in turn helps reduce the swelling.

Why not treat them to a deluxe spa pedicure? It all starts by sitting in the American spa chair with back massage and a jacuzzi foot bath.

Your feet are scrubbed with exfoliator, nails cut and shaped, drill used to remove cuticles and hard skin rasped off.

This is followed up with a relaxing leg and foot massage.

Nails are then painted with OPI nail polish of choice or a Gelish or shellac if re-

quested.

We also offer a foot health service where it’s possible to have thickened toe nails reduced, ingrown toenails taken out, corns, discoloured toenails and fungal toe nails and excessive hard-skin treated.

Reflexology is also a great treat for the feet. It’s very relaxing and calming on the entire mind and body. It aids sleep and brings around a feeling of overall well-being. It’s also recognised by all health insurance companies such as VHI, Aviva, Laya.

Cologne Philharmonic to play Killarney Classical music fans are in for a rare treat next week when the world-renowned Chamber Philharmonic plays at St Mary’s Church of Ireland in Killarney on August 5. | By Sean Moriarty The ensemble, made up of selected members of the 300-strong orchestra from the German city, is famous for its ability to mix well-known composers like Mozart and Bach with complete unknowns. They are the artists in residence at Mercedes Benz World in the city and often perform for the car brand’s important customers. “Classical music the world over. This is the motto of the Chamber Philharmonic Cologne,” Jens Kehling, Press Officer, said. “It is irrelevant for our musicians whether they are

playing in a little village church, in the open air, in Cologne Cathedral or in the Sydney Opera House – their enthusiasm to play music is the same every time.” A diverse programme ranging from Antonio Vivaldi and his famous "Concerto grosso D Minor" to CPE Bach, WA Mozart and Camille Saint-Saens will feature in the Bank Holiday Monday night concert.

Bookings: cash sales at the door only Tickets are available at the door one hour prior to the concert from 7pm Adults: €20, Seniors/Pensioners: €17, Students/Children €12.

loan is better than a PCP

Close to four in 10 consumers in Ireland will buy a new car in 2019. Over half plan to spend more than €10,000 on their new set of wheels, according to the most recent Carzone Motoring Report (2018). The study also found that one in four consumers who spent between €10,000 and €20,000 on their previous car, used a credit union car loan to fund the purchase.* Credit union loans have always been popular amongst car buyers for their straightforward terms and conditions and flexibility, and look set to be a top choice again in 2019. Indeed, credit unions, such as Killarney Credit Union, are reporting an increase in car loan queries from their members.

Helen Courtney Power, Business Development Officer of Killarney Credit Union explains why she feels there has been a renewed interest in the traditional car loan. “A credit union loan is transparent and carries no hidden fees or charges.

The buyer owns the car outright once they buy it, while with other more complex finance options, such as a PCP agreement, the buyer has effectively hired the car for a period of time while they make payments. At the end of the PCP agreement, they will have to make a balloon payment in order to actually own the car, which can prove to be quite the financial sting in the tail if it hasn’t been budgeted for.”

The Carzone report however also found that 72 percent of people who had spent more than €20,000 on their last car had used a finance option such as a PCP agreement. So while PCPs can be complicated, have a raft of additional charges and a good deal of inflexibility, they are proving popular with car-buyers in the over €20,000 market. Could this be down to the fact that a lot of consumers don’t fully understand what they are signing up to with a PCP? “For many people, headline rates on PCP agreements can at first look more attractive, but these can easily distract from the fact that essentially PCPs are lease schemes and the buyer will need to be conscious of the mileage they are racking up, because the balloon payment, or guaranteed minimum future value (GMFV), of the car will have been calculated with their annual mileage in mind” Helen explains.

“In contrast, with a car loan from the credit union, the buyer simply borrows the money to pay for a car, which they own immediately, and which they can

drive as much as they please. They can also sell the car on at any time they wish, should they need to, whereas they do not have this option with a PCP. Credit unions are ethical lenders. We will work with our members to structure repayments that suit their individual circumstances. At Killarney Credit Union our car loan is available at an affordable APR rate of 7.8 percent**, and is typically approved within 48 hours. We also offer car insurance to make the whole process as convenient as possible for our members. I would really encourage anyone thinking about going the PCP route to have a chat with us first at Killarney Credit Union before making the final decision. We are happy to see all our members, no matter how long it has been since they did business with the credit union, and of course we are always happy to chat to anyone who has never been a credit union member.”

Helen also says potential buyers should familiarise themselves with the below checklist before signing the dotted line on a PCP agreement: Be aware that to extend the term of a PCP you may be charged a rescheduling fee.

Take note of the cap on the number of miles/kilometres you are allowed to clock up over the period of the contract.

You may be requested to commit to certain car servicing agreements.

Ensure you always enquire about additional fees and charges, you are entitled to a list of all additional charges so ask the garage for this before you sign any agreement. *Carzone Motoring Report 2018 ** For a €10,000, five year variable interest rate loan with 60 monthly repayments of €200, an interest rate of 7.49 percent, a representative APR of 7.8 percent, the total amount payable by the member is €12,019. Information correct as at 27/05/2019.

WELCOME Welcome to July’s Home & Living. The weather has been a bit of a mixed bag, but overall not a complete washout, and with some sunshine forecasted for the weekend hopefully we can all get out and about without the threat of rain.

With the kids off for summer, you may be fighting the clutter, so this month we are looking at how you can integrate a mudroom into your home. You don't need a large room or a plethora of hand-built cabinets to reap the benefits of a mudroom, all you need is a bench and some coat hooks or a freestanding press. If you’re lucky enough to have a separate mud/boot room, take a look at the amazing makeover, taking a boot room to the dark side, which shows just how much drama you can add to a room with paint!

If you’re redecorating your hallway, we've looked at how to give this sometimes-small overworked space a sense of style, and this month’s Notebook has the perfect pieces for your hallway or mudroom.

Next month we are looking at furniture in master bedrooms and guest rooms.

Have some fun with your hallway The hallway is a bit of a tricky one.

Some might think it’s unimportant because people pass through it all the time, but it is like a business card for your home. It expresses your personality the instant people arrive, so have some fun with it!

Rock a coloured front door. If you have a small space you don’t have much opportunity for impact, so work what you’ve got. My front door is pink, and it makes me happy every time I go through it.

Your hallway is the ideal spot to add impact with flooring. You may not have the space to make an impact with furniture, so lay patterned tiles, paint the floor, polish the wood, or simply place a colourful rug or runner.

I love hallways that are cosy and inviting, they make you feel comfortable straight away and then you can’t wait to see the rest of the house. Patterned or printed wallpaper, or paint in rich tones can achieve this. The colour helps define the space and make it feel like a room.

Mirrors are an interior designers’ best friend because they reflect light, cleverly creating the illusion of space. They’re also gorgeous and come in a range of designs

to suit your style. Consider using a mirror instead of art if you have a small space.

Make a statement with lighting. Again you may not have space for a statement piece of furniture but you can show your style with lighting and it doesn't have to be specifically a hallway lantern. Think outside the box, like this pink tassel chandelier!

DECLUTTER YOUR HOME

Mudroom by adding a

Mudroom, or boot room as they are known on this side of the Atlantic, was traditionally a room in larger country homes dedicated to clutter of outside living, from welly boots to raincoats to the lovely wet pooch.

You can turn any space into a mudroom in your home. It can be any area that makes a great transition space between the outdoors and the indoors, and with the clever use of storage, you can create a well-organised “mudroom” providing a space to sit as well as storage for shoes, jackets and bags, instead of tracking dirt, dripping water or dropping sports gear in the house.

It can be key for keeping your home organised, and help the rest of the house look decluttered and clean. If you're desiring a stylish and efficient space like this - take a look at our top tips to turn any space into a mudroom.

Don’t have a separate entryway large enough for a mudroom space? No problem. Mudroom spaces like this gorgeous DIY mudroom bench are beautiful enough to grace your family room, living room, or even dining room… wherever you have the space. And the bench can act as additional seating in the room!

USE BASKETS TO HIDE CLUTTER If your mudroom space is in a main living area (or even visible from them), you want to be sure to have baskets to corral the shoes and other random items.

HANG ARTWORK TO DECORATE A MUDROOM On that same theme, your mudroom doesn’t have to be tucked away from the rest of the house if it’s beautiful! Add some art work so you can enjoy the space no matter where it is.

ADD A MUDROOM IN YOUR LAUNDRY ROOM It doesn’t have to be huge. A corner of the laundry or utility room can be just as functional for storing bags and shoes.

One of the best rules to an organised home is to make sure everything has its place, and the laundry room is a fine place for those things to live!

BLEND IT WITH YOUR KITCHEN Using kitchen cabinetry is not only a logical way to design and build a mudroom space, but it can give your home a seam-

less feel. Design a mudroom bench right into a wall of kitchen cabintry and use it in the heart of your home!

TURN A CLOSET INTO A MINI MUDROOM Still lacking a functional spot after all those ideas above? Try a little closet. It only takes some hooks and baskets to organise things and any spot can become a mini mudroom. Some of these DIY mudrooms could be done by simply taking the doors off a closet and adding a builtin bench. So many possibilities!

TURN A HALLWAY INTO A MUDROOM SPACE Don’t have a room off your entryway to designate as a mudroom? Try a hallway which can often be unused spaces. All it takes is a few cabinets or a little hall tree with hooks and baskets to transform the space.

EVERYDAY DISPLAY Turn your everyday items into a display; bright coloured or designer wellingtons are out there in droves. Place them on a tray or wellington boot holder rather than hiding them away. They look great and are easily accessible for that country walk, a spot of gardening or a festival!

DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK Traditionally boot rooms were dark or muted colours to cope with all that dirt.

These colours work well in an entryway.

As any architect will tell you, entering through a darker more enclosed space into a bright open plan area gives you twice the impact.

Less is more Your mudroom area doesn't have to be a hugely expensive large built-in room - a bench and some hooks, and you can achieve this look on a budget!

BEFORE

Going to the

DARK SIDE

Don’t be afraid of the dark!

Having lived with some dark heritage colours for a long time when we redecorated our home, I wanted bright white everywhere!

However, after a while I craved some drama, and after seeing a kitchen painted in Farrow and Ball Downpipe, I took the plunge and painted our boot room.

It’s quite dark and some people will prefer the before, but it is so much warmer and cozier, and it definitely added drama. Also, the contrast of walking from a dark cozy entrance into the bright open space is amazing. It also makes all accessories that you add to the space pop. The press and paneling are painted in Downpipe from Farrow and Ball. Above the paneling is White Tea from Colourtrend Paints. The next project is painting the bench, which is going to be Sulking Room Pink from Farrow and Ball’s new colours.

I can’t resist a spot of pink!

AFTER

HALLWAYS

are perfect for 'VISUAL DRAMA' The problem with most hallways is that they are dark due to the lack of natural light.

The best thing to do is to work against it with the light that you have got.

This is exactly what was done when completing this interior design project.

The striped carpet was put downstairs/ landing to soften the noise levels. The wallpaper adds depth by working with the style of the staircase and blends in with mauve painted walls.

Double doors from the living room were installed as front doors and painted the same as the stairs in order to create unity throughout the building.

An antique mahogany wall stand has being dressed with a collection of hats which belonged to various family members over the years. This adds individuality to the overall interior design scheme, but is also a functional piece of furniture.

The light bouncing off the Waterford Crystal vase helps to create a welcoming and pleasant ambience that lifts the mood.

Work with what you have got by adding an element of visual drama.

Reen’s support county footballers Reen’s Garage Rathmore is backing two key Kerry senior footballers for the remainder of the season.

The Peugeot dealership has named Kerry stalwart Paul Murphy and former county ladies captain Aislinn Desmond as brand ambassadors.

They have both taken delivery a new Peugeot 5008 Allure to promote the

garage and the brand over the next 12 months.

Both play club football for Rathmore, with Murphy a key-defender in last Sunday’s epic encounter with Donegal, while Desmond will line out for the Kingdom against Westmeath at Fitzgerald Stadium tomorrow (Saturday) in the final round of the All-Ireland qualifiers.

ON THE RUN: A great mix of cars is expected for tonight’s (Friday) Ballymac Run. Photo: Katie Cameron

10th Ballymac run this weekend Kingdom Veteran Vintage and Classic Car Club (KVVCCC) members will host the 10th annual Ballymac Vintage Car and Honda 50 Run this evening (Friday).

The event, which takes place at O’Riada’s Bar Ballymac from 7pm, will raise funds for the Kerry Hospice Foundation.

It’s also in memory of three people — Joanne Walmsley, Dan O’Connor and Sean Hand — who passed away in the

last year. All were cared for in the Palliative Care Unit.

Earlier this year the same club ran its 40th Ring Of Kerry Run in aid of Down Syndrome Kerry and a cheque for €1,000 was presented at the Ballymac Run launch last week.

The exact route for tonight’s run won’t be revealed until this evening, but spectators are welcome at O’Riada’s for the start at 7pm and later when the cars return from the run.

The show must go on….

Downpour dampens classic car show | By Sean Moriarty A deluge that swept in over the MacGillycuddy Reeks failed to dampen the enthusiasm of classic car fans from enjoying the sixth running of the Killarney Valley Classic and Vintage Club’s (KVCVC) annual show at the racecourse.

This year’s event was organised to raise badly needed funds for the ACT for Men-

ingitis and the Killarney Micro Track.

Over 80 cars, 15 tractors and 15 motorcycles made up the display, slightly down on recent years, but the heavy rain on the day was huge factor.

One of the highlights was the parade, a new departure for 2019. Organisers created a moving time-line of automotive history as most of the drivers present took the opportunity to drive their cars along the ambulance track at the course.

Killarney and District Motor Club (KDMC) used the event to launch their Autocross event, which takes place at Tralee Racecourse on August 5, and club members displayed many of their specially adapted racing buggies.

Run in memory of one of the club’s greatest stalwarts, as both a competitor and a behind-the-scenes worker, the Jimmy Devane Autocross will celebrate its 10th anniversary this year (more details in the sports section).

“It is a great family day out,” Autocross safety officer Diarmuid Lynch said. “It is run over a 4km track, one of the longest in the country, so there will always be two cars on the course at any one time providing plenty of entertainment. The grandstands will provide ample safe viewing for the spectators.”

Jimmy Devane died from cancer 10 years ago and the admission fee on the day will be donated to the Palliative Care Unit at University Hospital Kerry.

The rally car section is a growing attraction at the event with close on 10 competition cars ranging from a Toyota Corolla, a Subaru Impreza and a few Ford Escorts.

Another great car man, Maurice Nagle, a member of both clubs was also remembered at the show. Two of his rally cars, a rare Ford Escort Mk2 Mexico and Ford Lotus Cortina, the car so often used by the late Aghadoe man as the road-closed car on local rallies, were on display.

“He was a wonderful guy who is unfortunately not with us today,” said KVCVC’s Tom Leslie. “He was a great car guy and you could not meet better if you were running an event.”

The oldest car on show was Mike Buckley’s 1931 Austin, while Darek Stachowiak displayed the oldest motorcycle. His 1955 WFM 06 was manufactured in his native Poland. The oldest tractor on site was a 1951 David Brown Cropmaster.

“Killarney Valley Classic And Vintage Club would like to thank everybody who attended our annual car show in Killarney Racecourse,” committee member Katie Cameron said. “There was a great day had by all despite the weather playing spoilsport. We were delighted with the turnout. There was a lot to see as well with an autojumble, vintage fair, bouncy castles, displays from the Civil Defence and much more. The highlight of the day was the parade with all participants getting a chance to show off their vehicles.

Huge thanks to our sponsors Ahern's Garage and the Killarney Advertiser, and a special mention to Megan Daly and all at Killarney Racecourse for their support throughout the event.”

There is work still waiting for you, So you must not idly stand, Do it now, while life remaineth, You shall rest in Jesus’ land, When that work is all completed, He will gently call you home, Oh, the rapture of the meeting, Oh, the joy to see you come.

Kingdom on brink of last four after thrilling draw in Croker

Whenever you take the lead as late as the 74th minute and fail to hold out for the win, it’s bound to sting. But given the incredible heart and brilliant, free-flowing football on display, it would have been cruel in the extreme if either Kerry or Donegal left HQ empty-handed on Sunday.

It was the game of the season so far and the draw keeps both sides very much in the hunt for the All-Ireland.

All things considered, the result was probably marginally better for Peter Keane than it was for Declan Bonner. Kerry remain ahead of Donegal in Group 1 by virtue of their superior points difference and the fact that their last fixture comes against Meath also (hopefully) points towards a top two finish.

On form you would expect Kerry to win in Navan next weekend and if they better Donegal’s margin of victory (or if Donegal fail to win) against Mayo, they will top the group and avoid the winners of Group 2 in the semi-final. Dublin and Tyrone will face off in Omagh next Sunday to see who earns that particular title.

There’s no soft touch out of those two but you would like to avoid the defending champions if at all possible, so finishing top of the group might be for the best.

DUMMY TEAMS

For the second game in a row, Peter Keane made multiple changes from the starting 15 he had named on the Friday night before. With a number of players placed in unfamiliar positions in the official team sheet, it was fairly obvious that a dummy team had been released and one wonders what the point is in naming a 15 at all if there are going to be so many changes. Kerry haven’t even named substitutes for the last two games so you really haven’t a clue what Keane has up his sleeve.

And as the man himself pointed out after last Sunday’s match, if other

teams aren’t showing their hands, why should he?

Dublin and Mayo (among others) frequently indulge in the same carry on and the whole arrangement has become somewhat devalued over recent years. Perhaps it’s time for the GAA to revise the team selection process entirely. I think it would make more sense to ask managers to name their 26-man panel 48 hours before the game and to give each player a squad number.

This would give the GAA enough time to print player lists in their match programmes.

The official starting line-up could then be named an hour before throw-in.

Many oldschool fans still bring pens to games to keep track of the scorers in the programme, so space could be left for supporters to fill out the starting 15 themselves as it’s announced on the day.

The way things are going, the team announcement on the Thursday or Friday before the game means very little. Peter Keane might as well name himself and Donie Buckley midfield with Maurice Fitz inside in the corner. It has as much a chance of being accurate.

SPILLANE & LYNE

Kerry got some big performances from a couple of unexpected late additions as cousins Killian Spillane of Templenoe and Jonathan Lyne of Legion really caught the eye.

You would have feared for the latter after he was left out of Kerry’s squad for the Mayo fixture but he was brought back in last weekend - though I doubt even he was expecting to make such an early appearance.

SPORT

26.07.2019 Lyne replaced the black-carded Gavin White towards the end of the first half and he won some great ball at crucial points down the stretch. Like Shane Enright the week before, his performance has put him firmly in the frame for the rest of the season, however long that may be.

Killian Spillane had featured in this year’s league campaign but Sunday signalled his first ever appearance in the championship. The speedy corner forward acquitted himself really well, kicking three fine points from play and looking dangerous throughout.

I doubt we’ve seen the last of him in Kerry colours this season.

Paul Geaney (1-4) was back to something approaching his best, which is fantastic news for Kerry heading into the business end of the season, and David Clifford showed well despite coming in for some extra special treatment from the Donegal defenders.

Further out the field (and here, there and everywhere), Stephen O’Brien was immense once again. The Kenmare forward has been in devastating form all year and he is surely now in the All-Star conversation, depending, of course, on how the next few weeks pan out for him and for his team.

Despite conceding 1-20, I thought Kerry also did fairly well in defence.

It was a very open game and the reality of it is that attacking talents like Paddy McBrearty and Michael Murphy are going to kick points in that environment regardless of who’s marking them.

A couple of questionable calls went against the Kerry backs as well in that second half, although there was no questioning the penalty or the equalising free. In defence of the defence, it was a pair of forwards who made those challenges and without being too harsh about it, it showed.

The draw was the fairest result in the end and it certainly wasn’t a terrible outcome for Kerry. You’d much rather be heading to Navan than Castlebar at this point. There could be a kick in Mayo yet.

For the second consecutive week, the positives far outweighed the negatives for Peter Keane and the optimism gauge in this part of the world is rising steadily. Dublin are still overwhelming favourites to claim their historic fivein-a-row but there’s something about this young Kerry team.

Whether or not that “something” is good enough to spoil the party will become clear soon enough.

Honours even in Gaelic football’s game of the year Try as both sides might, there was simply no separating Kerry and Donegal in this breathless Super 8s encounter at Croke Park.

Paul Murphy was almost the hero when he kicked Kerry into the lead in the 74th minute but his namesake Michael, who was imperious throughout, levelled for Donegal with a last gasp free from 35 metres out.

A draw was the right result all things considered and it leaves the joint leaders in a strong position heading into the final round of fixtures on August 3.

There was little to choose between the champions of Ulster and Munster in the first half on Sunday with the sides drawing level on no fewer than six occasions.

Paddy McBrearty, the tireless Ryan McHugh and Murphy were unsurprisingly to the fore for Donegal but accurate kicking by Kerry’s forwards, most notably Seán O’Shea, Paul Geaney, Stephen O’Brien and debutant Killian Spillane, meant Kerry led by one, 0-9 to 0-8, at half-time.

Kerry captain Gavin White was issued a black card for bringing down McHugh before the break and Donegal were dealt a similar setback when Niall O’Donnell was ordered off for a foot trip on Paul Murphy.

It was a hectic opening period and thankfully things didn’t get any calmer in the second.

Knowing that two points would secure a spot in the All-Ireland semi-final, both sides went for the jugular in

CROKE PARK front of over 48,000 at Croke Park and all in attendance were treated to an enthralling feast of carefree, attacking football.

Peter Keane’s charges trailed by a point with 10 minutes gone in the second half but the tie swung back in their favour in the 44th minute when the in-form Paul Geaney capitalised on a defensive mix-up to burst through and score the opening goal of the game.

Donegal didn’t lose faith, however, and they retook the lead just seven minutes later when Michael Murphy tucked his penalty beyond the reach of Kerry keeper Shane Ryan.

It was nip and tuck thereafter with neither side ever leading by more than a single point.

Corner back Jason Foley fisted Kerry into the lead in the last minute of normal time but quick-fire scores by Oisin Gallen and Michael Murphy put the men from Tír Chonaill in front a few short moments later.

Geaney equalised with a well-taken point before the Murphys exchanged scores - either side of a Tomás Ó Sé red card - to leave the teams level, and exhausted, at the end of football’s game of the year.

The GAA have a blind spot when it comes to Dublin You’d feel guilty for even bringing it up. Or maybe it’s the fear of being accused of sour grapes. But fair is fair and fair is not what the rest of us are getting. | By Adam Moynihan None of this is to take away from how good these Dublin players are. We’re witnessing one of the greatest selection of players ever, talent-wise and especially in terms of physical prowess.

They’re also an extremely admirable group with an equally admirable manager and as tough as their dominance is to swallow, particularly as a Kerry fan, you have to applaud their achievements to date.

BUT

But. Dublin have been getting preferential treatment from the GAA. There’s no hiding it. Even leaving the staggering funding imbalance to one side, a curso-

ry glance at the Super 8s schedule tells its own story.

In contrast to the provincial championships, which are often, numerically speaking, asymmetrical and harder to organise in a completely fair manner, the Super 8s are nice and tidy.

The eight best teams in the country. Two groups of four. Top two go through. Three games each. One home.

One away. One neutral. Apart from the seeding of the four provincial champions, it’s supposed to be a level playing field. And it is - for seven of the eight teams involved.

Dublin play their home games at Croke Park so naturally they play their home Super 8s games at Croke Park. There’s no issue there. The problem is that the

Paul Mannion of Dublin in action against Roscommon last weekend. Dublin play their "neutral" Super 8s games in Croke Park, which is also their home venue. Pic: Ray McManus/Sportsfile.

neutral round of fixtures is also played at our national stadium, so Dublin get to play two games at home while everyone else only gets one.

Now, maybe it wouldn’t make a difference. Maybe this Dublin team are so good that they’d have beaten Roscommon in Portlaoise this year or Donegal in Cavan last year. Maybe they’re just better.

And of course it makes financial sense for the GAA to stage every single Dublin game in HQ, the biggest stadium in the country. Roughly a quarter of the population of Ireland lives in Dublin so they have more supporters than anyone else. The association stands to make more money from a full Croke Park than a full O’Moore Park or a full Breffni Park.

But surely giving one team an advantage over others purely for the financial gain of the tournament’s governing body is unethical?

JOHN HORAN

GAA President John Horan will tell you that the so-called “neutral” round of the Super 8s is officially called the “Croke Park” round but that’s a cop-out. Dublin are going to reach this stage every year. They’ve won Leinster nine years in a row so it’s a given in the modern era that they’ll make it this far. The Croke Park thing was always going to be an issue.

It has been reported that the topic will be discussed at the end of year review and you would be hopeful that common sense will prevail.

Why, though, does it take a backlash for the GAA to realise that the arrangement was unfair from day one? It was blatantly wrong from the outset.

Look, we’re bitter about Dublin winning all the time. There’s no point saying otherwise. But it’s much harder to take when it seems as though the GAA have a blind spot when it comes to Dublin.

Pic: Paudie Healy.

Division 1 set to go down to the wire Rathmore have edged in front in Division 1 of the County League but with a number of big teams breathing down their neck, they won’t be counting their chickens just yet. | By Adam Moynihan Liam Hassett’s men are one point clear at the top following last weekend’s comfortable victory over whipping boys St Mary’s and they now know that two wins from their last two games will guarantee them first place and, crucially, home advantage in the league final.

The next step is to beat Kilcummin in Rathbeg (Sunday at 3pm). The reigning All-Ireland Intermediate champions have little to play for - they can’t realistically go down and they’re not in contention for a spot in the final – but this fixture will serve as an interesting preview of a greater battle to come.

Kilcummin will play Rathmore in the Senior Club Championship relegation playoff once both sides are finished in the County Championship, with the losers getting demoted to Intermediate level.

With that in mind, Kilcummin will be eager to lay down a marker and it should make for an interesting match back by the border.

Prior to last weekend Austin Stacks appeared to be a good bet to make the final but their County League aspirations were dealt a major blow on Saturday when they lost to Legion in Derreen. Up next for Stacks is a home game against Spa. Legion, meanwhile, will travel south to take on Templenoe. All games apart from Rathmore v Kilcummin will take place on Saturday at 7.30pm.

CROKES

Defending champions Dr Crokes are still very much in the conversation after their seven-point win over neighbours Kilcummin. Edmund O’Sullivan’s side will relegate Na Gaeil if they can beat the Tralee club at home this weekend and with another home game (against Dingle) to round out the regular season, they will surely fancy their chances of earning maximum points from here on in.

Looking at the fixture list, Kerins O’Rahilly’s, who are also joint second, appear to be in a strong position to qualify for the decider. The Blues host

bottom-of-the-table Mary’s tomorrow and their last game is against Kilcummin, who will more than likely have nothing to play for.

It’s incredibly tight at the top and there’s every possibility that two or more teams could finish level on points in first and/or in second. If two teams finish in a tie for first, a toss of a coin will determine who will play at home in the final.

If one team finishes on their own in first and there’s a two-way tie for second, a playoff will be required.

N Rathmore top after

fifth win in six games

N Crokes, Rahilly’s, Stacks

and Dingle joint second

N Mary’s and Templenoe

down, Na Gaeil set to follow

At the other end, Na Gaeil look to be heading for Division 2 along with St Mary’s and Templenoe, both of whom have already been relegated.

Templenoe made the difficult decision to forfeit last weekend’s game versus An Ghaeltacht due to a lack of numbers. Losing six players to Kerry duty (four senior and two junior) would be difficult enough for most big clubs to handle, let alone one as small as Templenoe, so you’d have to feel sorry for them. They have very much been victims of their own success.

Third career win for O’Sullivan | By Sean Moriarty

Noel O’Sullivan guided reigning World Rally eSports champion Jon Armstrong to a hard but deserved victory on Saturday’s Carryduff Forklift Down Rally.

For Muckross-based O’Sullivan it was his third outright win having previously won the Sligo Rally alongside Sam Moffatt and the Tyrone Rally with Connor McCloskey.

The Kerry/Fermanagh crew were on a one-off outing in a McGeehan Motorsport prepared Mini World Rally Car. They quickly settled into their new mount and were fourth fastest on the opening stage.

They were gradually building their pace

and looked set to challenge for the lead during the second loop of stages when they got a puncture during the fourth stage. Armstrong and O’Sullivan dropped one minute, placing them at the bottom of the top 10. The chasing crew got the bit between their teeth for the final loop of three stages and moved into the rally lead for the first time after stage nine.

“It was a great event with real classic stages,” O’Sullivan said. “Our day didn’t get off to the best start with a puncture on stage four, dropping 50 seconds, but we put our heads down and fought back over the afternoon loops and we were delighted to get the win.”

Dublin-based Currow co-driver John McCarthy made it two Kerry men in the top 15 after guiding local man John Devlin to 13th overall and first in class in their Ford Escort.

BRIEFS... |

I mokilly Rally

Dave Slattery and Denis Coffey were the top Killarney crew on Sunday’s Imokilly Rally in East Cork. The Glenflesk/Farranfore crew brought their Ford Escort Mk2 home in 10th place.

One of the drives of the rally, certainly from a local point of view, was Kieran Reen and Mark O’Leary who brought their Honda Civic home in 15th place and won the junior category to boot.

Kenmare’s Vincent O’Shea and Eoin O’Donoghue were 17th in their unusual BMW. Denis Nagle and Donagh Crowley won class nine in their Nissan Micra as Alan O'Sullivan and Dean Slattery continue their debut season and brought their Honda Civic home in 53rd place. |

K illarney Autocross

Killarney and District Motor Club launched its Jimmy Devane Memorial Autocross at the Killarney Valley Vintage and Classic show at Killarney Racecourse on Sunday.

The event will take place at Tralee Racecourse on Sunday, August 4. So far, over 50 drivers have committed entries for the event at one of the most popular venues for autocross in the country.

This year marks the 10th year the event is run in honour of the late Jimmy Devane, one of the stalwarts of Killarney and Dis-

trict Motor Club as both a competitor and a behind-the-scenes worker.

Proceeds from the August Bank Holiday Sunday event will go towards the Palliative Care Unit at University Hospital Kerry |

A utocross Marshalls

KDMC needs around 35 volunteer marshals to run the autocross and those available should contact event safety officer Diarmuid Lynch on 087 255 2221. |

D uggan Family Fortunes

Ford Fiesta driver Tara Duggan, with her brother Rob on the notes for the first time, finished 49th on the Imokilly Rally in what was Tara’s second rally as a driver. They have won the Rally of the Lakes National in the past, but they swapped seats for this event.

“Rob has brought me to my best rallying results and I’m very proud to repay the favour and bring him home with his worst overall result ever today,” she joked. |

Killarney racer Frank Doherty needs three wins this weekend if he is top the Irish Superbike Cup championship. He trails rival Joe Grant by 13 points but he won two races at the June meeting.

The season enters its second half with rounds 10, 11 and 12 set for the County Kildare track this Saturday and Sunday.

CYCLING Kissane closes in on third county road race title Killarney Cycling Club’s Conor Kissane is chasing a third straight Kerry Road Race title as the series draws to a close next Thursday evening (August 1).

WINNERS: Killarney's Noel O'Sullivan (right) and Jon Armstrong won Saturday’s Carryduff Forklift Down Rally driving a Mini WRC.

Kissane is one of two riders who can claim the county championship. He finished fifth on last Thursday’s Killorglin Cycling Club’s road race.

As a result, the title race is a straight fight between Kissane and his Tralee rival Cathal Moynihan.

They have each won a round apiece this summer with the local man taking victory on last month’s Sliabh Luachra event and Moynihan winning the Killarney Cycling Club-organised race in May. Next Thursday’s Tralee event traditionally finishes on the Tralee to Lyrecrompane road, a long gradient

that should suit the Killarney club member’s climbing skills as opposed to Moynihan who is more of a sprinter.

“We were both told it is between us,” Kissane told the Killarney Advertiser.

“They have not published the tables yet but it is between us. We have both won a round so far this year. The drag to the finish in Tralee suits me as I am more of a climber.”

Kissane finished fifth last Thursday night on the 45km Killorglin–Kilgobnet loop.

That race was won by Tralee’s Sebastian Gebhardt over Killarney CC’s Keith Lyne. The Killarney club took four of the top five places with Marcus Treacy and Tadgh O’Shea taking third and fourth ahead of Kissane.

Meanwhile, on Sunday, Kissane finished third in the non-championship Silver Pail 90km race in Fermoy.

Rattoo pushed on for the equaliser but four minutes later a through ball found Ryan Kelliher who sealed the win. Well done to the management and players who turned the season around and who ended up winning the double.
