LEGAL MATTERS CORNER

MIRIAM MC GILLICUDDY ANSWERS YOUR LEGAL QUERIES

When a person dies leaving property it may be necessary to apply to the Probate Office for a grant of representation. This grant allows a person to administer the deceased’s estate and they have a right to custody and possession of the deceased’s body. In cases where the deceased has made a will, they will usually have appointed an executor, the executor has the responsibility to apply for the grant of probate and carry out the terms of the will as laid out by the deceased.

A Grant of administration is administered where somebody dies without a will. Usually, the next of kin applies for a grant of administration. The Succession Act 1965 states that priority is given in the following order:

• Spouse or civil partner.

• Child.

• Parent.

• Brother or sister.

• More distant relative.

However, in a recent high court case, the judge made an order which showed that the court has jurisdiction to override this if there are special circumstances. In this case there was difference of opinion between the deceased’s biological parents and her half siblings about where the deceased should be buried. The deceased sister wished for her to be buried in the town she grew up in so her friends and community could gather at her funeral and so the sibling could visit her grave. Her parents wished for her to be buried where they live and with her grandparents. According to the 1965 act the girl’s natural parents would be the people first entitled to take out a grant of letters of administration of the estate of the girl, while the girl’s half-sister is in the group next entitled. The circumstances here, where the girl was not living with her parents since she was very young, can be regarded as “special” thereby placing the wishes of her half-siblings and foster parents above those of her natural parents. The judge decided the grant should be extracted by the half-sister and not by the natural parents. The Judge also limited the Grant for the purposes of taking custody of the body, wake, funeral, burial and headstone erection.

Minister Norma Foley cutting the ribbon on the new Casa Dei Bambini Outdoor Montessori School Gardens

The Mounthawk Montessori School Group has once again been recognized as the All Ireland Business All Star Montessori Schools of the Year for 2023, marking their third consecutive win. In addition, they have received accreditation from the Department of Education in both April and May 2023, acknowledging their excellence in all aspects of early years education at both Mounthawk and Maureen’s campuses.

To commemorate this special achievement, Minister for Education,

Norma Foley, T.D., inaugurated the Casa Dei Bambini Outdoor Montessori School & Gardens. The ceremony included the Minister cutting the ceremonial ribbon, unveiling a plaque, and planting a weeping willow tree in honor of Susan’s late father, Tom Quirke, and Helena’s mother, Marion Wallace. Families, children, and staff members alike thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful afternoon celebration, as expressed by Helena.

The presence of esteemed guest Minister Norma Foley, T.D.,

further enhanced the occasion. The Montessori Schools have always been leaders in the field, continuously striving for innovation and receiving numerous awards, including the accreditation as Healthy Ireland Smart Start Preschools from 2015 to 2025.

In November 2022, the Oak Park Montessori School was inaugurated, and Susan represented Ireland as a delegate in the Early Years field during her travels to Norway, France, and Italy. Her most recent trip to Reggio Emilia in April 2023 ignited

the inspiration for the “Reimagining of the World of Early Years” and the innovative practice of the Casa Dei Bambini Outdoor Montessori School & Gardens. This unique project is the first of its kind in Ireland, integrating the Reggio Emilia Inspired Approach into everyday education and highquality practices within the Ateliers, led by highly qualified teams. These initiatives aim to support the best long-term outcomes for all children, as Susan aptly stated, “When the roof truly is the sky.”

CRYO CHAMBER

Seven Key benefits of Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy, a treatment that involves exposing the body to extremely cold temperatures for a short period, offers several advantages. Here are seven key benefits of cryotherapy:

1. Pain Relief: Cryotherapy can alleviate acute or chronic pain by numbing nerve endings and reducing inflammation. It is commonly used to manage conditions such as arthritis, muscle strains, and sports injuries.

2. Reduced Inflammation: By lowering the temperature of the targeted area, cryotherapy helps decrease inflammation. This can be beneficial for conditions like tendonitis, bursitis, and swollen joints.

3. Improved Recovery: Athletes and individuals recovering from intense workouts or injuries often turn to cryotherapy to accelerate their recovery process. The cold temperatures aid in reducing muscle soreness and enhancing the body's natural healing mechanisms.

4. Increased Energy and Endurance: Cryotherapy sessions can boost energy levels and enhance physical performance. The exposure to cold temperatures stimulates blood circulation, increases oxygen delivery, and releases endorphins, promoting a sense of revitalization.

5. Enhanced Mood and Mental Well-being: Cryotherapy has shown positive effects on mental health by releasing endorphins, which are natural mood-enhancing chemicals. This treatment can help reduce stress, anxiety, and symptoms of depression.

6. Weight Management: Regular cryotherapy sessions may support weight loss efforts. The cold temperatures stimulate metabolism and increase calorie burn, aiding in fat reduction over time.

7. Skin Rejuvenation: Cryotherapy can contribute to improved skin health. The cold temperatures promote blood circulation, leading to a brighter complexion, tighter skin, and reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

While cryotherapy offers numerous potential benefits, it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new treatment to ensure it is suitable for your specific needs and medical history...
