Rockie ‘ Denis ‘Dee Butcher’ O Regan

“Our collective Rockie hearts are sombre this week with the passing of one of our princes, the incomparable Dee Butcher. Green & White by birth, his Limerick blood was transfused with that of the Black & Amber, resulting in a faithful servant that anyone who knew him will never forget. Dee’s unfailing generosity, unquenchable good humour, undying support and encouragement for all matters Stacks were the hallmarks of a true giant who had a profound positive impact on us all.To see himself at a game lifted many a Rockie heart – just as it had done on every single occasion since he joined our Rockie clan many years ago.” ....Shane Lynch , Club Chairman

READ LAURE & STEPH'S JOURNEY ON THIS FOCUS COURSE

Laure says:

“Discovering the Focus course at the National Learning Network in Tralee was a transformative moment in my life, thanks to the insightful suggestion of RO Nora. Initially, I hadn't considered it, as I was completing another course and struggling with low confidence, uncertain about my future. However, after meeting Geoff and conversing with Focus course alumni, I decided to take the leap. My first day was nerve-wracking, leading me to arrive late—a rarity for me. I had to muster the courage to enter that classroom, setting the stage for a whirlwind of meeting new faces and preparing for the journey ahead. Looking back, this challenging path stands as one of the best decisions I've ever made, even though it's been about three years since I completed the course.

The Focus course empowered me in numerous ways:

1. Self-Discovery: Before embarking on this journey, I believed I knew myself, but it was during the course that I truly examined who I am and what I desire. I had spent my life conforming to others' expectations, but the course helped me find my voice and establish healthy boundaries.

2. Unique Experiences: The course provided opportunities to explore places I wouldn't have ventured to alone, such as Blackrock Observatory and St. John's Castle.

3. Overcoming Challenges: Even when the world faced a pandemic, the support of the Focus group, both online and offline, helped me navigate the uncertainty. It equipped me with tools to reemerge into a changed world.

While there's much more to share about the Focus course, I encourage you to experience it firsthand. I am living proof that this course can change lives, and I am immensely grateful for the journey and the people who shared it with me. The lessons I learned continue to guide me daily. If you're feeling stuck and aspire to transform your life, I wholeheartedly recommend the Focus course. Approach it with an open mind, give your best, and extend kindness to yourself and others. It's a journey worth taking.

Steph says:

This FOCUS course opened up so many doors for me that i didn't think possible ! It helped me find friends that I will never forget . And equipped me with life skills in so many areas . Yes, the year was challenging , but also fun & relaxed. I am now in full employment and use the skills I learned daily for my mental health"

University Hospital Kerry Unveils the “Snowdrop Room” for Bereaved Parents

University Hospital Kerry (UHK) proudly presents the “Snowdrop Room” in its Maternity Department, a dedicated space for parents coping with pregnancy or perinatal loss. This compassionate initiative aligns with HSE National Bereavement Care Standards and offers a private sanctuary for grieving parents. Designed with care, the Snowdrop Room offers a serene, private space for parents who have experienced pregnancy loss. It reflects UHK’s commitment to providing comfort during difficult times. The room was developed with input from bereaved parents, ensuring it meets their needs. This effort resulted in a quiet, respectful space for parents to connect with healthcare professionals during their journey of loss. Carrie Dillon, Clinical Midwife Specialist at UHK, shared, “We

found it beneficial to hear bereaved parents’ thoughts and needs for this space. We thank those who fundraised for this invaluable addition to our Maternity Services.” The Snowdrop Room’s opening is poignant, coinciding with Baby Loss Awareness Week from October 9th to 15th. UHK offers a Service of Remembrance to support families during this week. The project was a collaborative effort led by the Clinical Midwife Specialist in Bereavement and the UHK Bereavement Committee, including a patient representative. Funding came from the National Women and Infants Health Programme and bereaved parents’ donations. For more on UHK’s Service of Remembrance and commitment to bereavement care during Baby Loss Awareness Week, visit https://uhk.ie/snowdrop-room.

Here are a few factors to consider when deciding whether to get antivirus software:

Operating System: Di erent operating systems have di erent levels of vulnerability to malware. Windows systems tend to be more targeted by malware, so having antivirus software is generally recommended. However, even if you have a macOS or Linux system, it's still a good idea to consider antivirus protection, as no system is completely immune to threats.

Online Activities: If you frequently browse the internet, download les, or use email attachments, you are more exposed to potential malware. Activities like online shopping, banking, or accessing sensitive information increase the importance of having antivirus software.

Device Usage: If you primarily use your devices for basic tasks like word processing and o ine activities, your risk might be lower compared to heavy internet users or those who frequently download les from the internet.

Safe Practices: Practicing safe browsing habits, such as avoiding suspicious websites, not clicking on unknown links, and being cautious with email attachments, can reduce the likelihood of encountering malware. However, even with safe practices, there is still a risk, as attackers are constantly nding new ways to exploit vulnerabilities.

In general, it's recommended to have antivirus software installed on your devices, especially if you frequently engage in online activities like banking, social media and shopping online . Make sure to choose a reputable antivirus solution, keep it up to date, and regularly scan your devices for potential threats. Additionally, maintaining regular backups of your important les is another important practice to mitigate the impact of malware.
