Pat's Voice to be heard no more but what a Voice! Padraig Harnett.... Rest in Peace.

A giant , thats all I can think of , a giant of a heart ! Met Pat first in a work capacity in 2013 when we took over The Tralee Advertiser .

I had known him from before this between Killarney , Tralee Chamber of Commerce , my own lads playing sport and oh yeah ...the Cinema !

But it was only working with him every week for nearly 10 years that Pats true attributes became known to me . So knowledgeable... and not only about Sport ( that was on another level altogether ! ) and the guy knew everyone and smiled everytime he met someone . Week in week out he would duly digest all the various club notes that were sent in to The Tralee Advertiser along with his own notes and present us with Padraig Harnetts take on what was happening in Sport in the

greater Tralee area that week ...as well as the Kerry team !!! It was a 'Must Read '. He loved all sports ...yes you could say he had favourites but he was passionate about all as far as I could see ...Schoolboys , Underage , Basketball , Soccer , Gaa ...didnt matter ..he consumed them all !

Kerry could have no better Voice of sport than this gentle giant ..what he did for so many codes . Never a man to see you stuck , Padraig would often lend a hand to us delivering the Tralee Advertiser on the odd Friday , which allowed us the odd breakaway , comfort in knowing that there was a good man at the helm of our delivery day . I have fond memories of our catch up coffees... particularly every Christmas , usually at the Rose Hotel . Also during the start of Covid in Corrib Service

Station ..( where everyone met ! ) ...me sitting on my hands while all my customers and business were on pause as was I ! ...and Padraig? .... with no sports happening ? Well he was busy helping out Meals on Wheels and Vincent De Paul making sure all those less fortunate were taken care of ...Yes a giant Heart as well as a giant Voice .. Rest in Peace Padraig ...Missing you already ....Chris Shortt ( Tralee Advertiser )

Keep your Business in Tralee and keep Tralee in Business!

THE TEAM AT THE CLINIC ARE HERE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS ON COSMETIC AND HAIR RESTORATION ISSUES. My daughter is going to her debs in December and is wondering what acne treatments you have, as her skin and her back have really broken out and she wants to wear a backless dress for her special night.

Thanks, Anne.

Hi Anne, Debs season is upon us and we have so many males and females getting their skin looking its best for their special night.

Firstly, a 1:1 consultation with our Aesthetic Practitioner is a great place to start and they will tailor a personalised plan just for you. The correct skin products and their application is the first step to getting the skin on the road to recovery. When it comes to acne, we like to include certain ingredients to treat the issues. To manage bacteria we like to include salicylic acid as it is an exfoliant with anti-inflammatory properties. Bright and clear solution is a great product to apply to your chest and back as it contains lactic acid and salicylic acid to exfoliate the skin. We also have a fantastic encapsulated retinol in the AlumierMD medical-grade skincare range that helps to speed up cell turnover and renewal, which helps to achieve brighter and clearing younger skin.

Calling all stall holders! you interested ???

At CHRC, we also offer a treatment called AC dual that works on both the bacteria and inflammation within the skin. This treatment utilises intense pulsed light technology to deliver direct bursts of blue and red light onto targeted areas of the skin. Both the blue and red light have acne fighting capabilities. The blue light targets and eliminates the bacteria causing acne, while the longer wavelength of the red light reduces inflammation. There is no down time with this treatment and usually a course of 8- 10 treatments is recommended. The treatment takes around 30- 40 minutes and can be done every four days. The treatment is quite comfortable and quick and results can be seen after just one session. Once you are finished your course of treatments, maintenance treatments can be done every couple of months to maintain the results of the treatment.

Aran Jumpers Soar Due to Banshees Of Inisherin Movie Irish fashion is having a Hollywood moment right now with the release of Martin McDonagh’s new movie The Banshees of Inisherin currently in cinemas.

The film, starring Irish actors Brendan Gleeson and Colin Farrell is already receiving rave reviews from critics worldwide and is putting Ireland and Irish traditional fashion back on the map in the same way as hit show Peaky Blinders did when it was first released.

Irish fashion company “The Sweater Shop”, which has shops in Dublin, Kilkenny and Galway, as well as an online shop, have reported a sales spike in classic Irish clothing such as Aran knit sweaters, since the release of the movie and the publicity surrounding it.

Speaking of the increase in sales, Laura Byrne, one of the family members behind the business, said; “The Sweater Shop is delighted with the attention The Banshees of Inisherin has brought to quality Irish clothing and fabrics. We’ve noted a 50% increase in sales of Aran jumpers and our merino wool jumpers both online and in our shops over the past two weeks or so, compared to this time last year.

Our website shows that people are searching for classic items like Grandfather shirts, capes in greens and reds, and chunky knit Aran sweaters with data showing a huge spike in this since the hype around this film first started.

We are sending a lot of online orders to America where the movie came out last week too. It’s wonderful to see a newfound appreciation of Irish designs and fabrics that are being recognised because of this movie.”

Property Expert Tommy Carmody gives the 'Real Deal' about last weeks First Time Buyers announcement MORTGAGE RULES CHANGES WELCOME BUT TOO LITTLE AND FAR TOO LATE !

"Brokers Ireland welcomed this weeks announcement by the Central Bank of Ireland of its intention to change the loan-to-income threshold from 3.5 times gross salary to four times for first-time buyers .

The organisation said reducing the loan-to-value threshold for second and subsequent buyers from 20pc to 10pc, in line with first-time buyers, was logical, something that Brokers Ireland has been calling on the Central Bank to do for some considerable time."

Tommy says Wednesday, last week , affected first time buyers in more ways than one.

Early in the day it was announced that an eviction ban was coming in on rental homes.

How is this good news for 1st time buyers? The good news for 1st time buyers and unfortunately the bad news for tenants comes in the

10

Friday 4th November 2022

form of unintended consequence - Small landlords have seen this as unnecessary interferance and another measure which sees them losing control of their property and ultimately has led to landlords deciding to sell their properties at the next available opportunity. Simply put this decision will increase the housing stock coming to market and most will be in the range of typical 1st time buyer budgets. More stock is good news for 1st time buyers.

In 24 hours I have had 3 seperate landlords instruct me to sell 3 homes which were becoming available to rent at the end of November and early December (Homes where tenants gave notice to quit I will add , not the landlord!).

In the space of 5 hours the news came through that the Central Bank would relax criteria around mortgages. On the face of it this should be celebrated by 1st time buyers however when the time comes that first time buyer go to

view homes with the higher approval amount it is likely that the same cohort of 1st time buyers will be bidding on the same homes which they would have been bidding on regardless but instead all 1st time buyers will be armed with more funds and in most cases they will bid to the highest level possible or come close at least.

Does this mean that House A will be sold to a first time buyer for say €195,000 as opposed to €185,000 or €190,000. I believe so.

The one scenario where the higher approval amount may benefit a 1st

Call Chris or Colette Tel: 066-7126399 or e-mail : traleeadvertiser@gmail.com

time buyer is in the case where they are competing with an investor for a home purchase as in many instances 1st time buyers have narrowly missed out by a small sum to an investor.

However when it comes to a 1st time buyer vs another 1st time buyer competing for a home there can still only be one winner, BUT it will be a winner who will likely have paid more due to this change in criteria.

As the saying goes "If everyone has more....nobody has more!"

If you are interested in creating a memorable customer experience for your clients, one that will ensure they return again and again AND recommend your product or service to friends, then this Breakfast Briefing is for you.

Two New Kingdom Of Kerry Two parts of the Kingdom of Kerry Greenways network were officially opened last week by the Minister of State at the Department of Transport, Hildegarde Naughton TD. The 16km Listowel to Abbeyfeale Greenway and the 11km Tralee to Fenit Greenway, which follow the route of former railway lines, are now fully open to walkers and cyclists.The new projects in Kerry were funded by the Department of Transport and delivered by Kerry County Council and Transport Infrastructure Ireland.

In a joint statement, Cathaoirleach of Listowel Municipal District, Cllr Aoife Thornton and the Mayor of Tralee, Cllr Mikey Sheehy, said: “This is a historic day for the county. The opening of new two greenway routes not only enhances the reputation of Kerry as a prime location for walking and cycling infrastructure, it also greatly enhances our tourism offering as well as the local economy.

“We can look forward in anticipation to the development of a new link between these two greenways as well as the development of the South Kerry Greenway and the linking of the various routes which

14

Friday 4th November 2022

will enable users to enjoy the county’s beautiful landscape,” they said.

Minister of State Hildegarde Naughton said: “We have allocated approximately €60m for Greenways alone this year as well as over €285m in walking and cycling infrastructure

around the country to enable people to safely choose to walk or cycle instead of using the car.

Chief Executive of Kerry County Council, Moira Murrell said: “I want to acknowledge the support of the Department of Transport in funding these greenways and I want to

Demons back to haunt Warriors With just a single League win to their name, Garvey’s Tralee Warriors need to regroup and regather after suffering their second defeat at home this season to UCC Demons( 85 -89) on Friday night and their fourth loss in total so far. The Warriors have produced nothing like the form they displayed last season when they captured

both National titles and maintained an unbeaten record at home.

Late indiscipline again in the final quarter cost the Warriors dearly, losing Jokubaitis and Jackson after they both reached their quota of fouls in quick succession. Jokic and Andrée Michelson battled defiantly to the end but Tala Fam Thiam

inflicted the final blows for Demons with two free throws to seal the 89-85 win.

Attention turns to the InsureMyHouse.ie Pat Duffy National Cup next weekend as the Warriors begin their defence of the title they captured for the first time last season. . Tip off next Saturday evening at Colaiste Éanna is 5.00pm.

Representing Kerins O’ Rahillys in the U13 Tralee District Championship are Aimee Turner, Lily Breen, Córa Meehan, Caragh Houlihan and Aoife O’ Connell

IT’S ONLY A JOKE

What’s Happening Tralee..

KeepIn your Business in Tralee and keep Tralee in Business!

NEWS

A MAGICIAN WAS WORKING ON A CRUISE SHIP

Since the audience was different each week, the magician did the same tricks over and over again. There was only one problem: the captain’s parrot saw the shows each week and began to understand how the magician did every trick.

Once he understood, he started shouting in the middle of the show “look, it’s not the same hat”, or “look, he’s hiding flowers under the table”, or “ hey, why are all of the cards aces?”

The magician was furious but couldn’t do anything. It was, after all, the captains parrot. One stormy night on the pacific, the ship unfortunately sank.

The magician found himself on a piece of wood floating in the middle of the sea, as fate would have it, with the parrot.

They stared at each other with hatred, but didn’t utter a word This went on for a day, then two days, then three days. Finally the parrot couldn’t hold back and said “Okay I give up, where’s the ship?”

A MAN ABSOLUTELY HATED HIS GIRLFRIEND’S CAT

A man absolutely hated his girlfriend’s cat and decided to get rid of him one day by driving him 20 blocks from his home and leaving him at the park.

As he was getting home, the cat was walking up the driveway.

The next day he decided to drive the cat 40 blocks away. He put the beast out and headed home.

Driving back up his driveway, there was the cat! He kept taking the cat further and further and the cat would always beat him home.

At last he decided to drive a few miles away, turn right, then left, past the bridge, then right again

and another right until he reached what he thought was a safe distance from his home and left the cat there. Hours later the man calls home to his girlfrien: “Jen, is the cat there?” “Yes”, the girlfriend answers, “why do you ask?” Frustrated, the man answered, “Put that son of a b@%#h on the phone, I’m lost and need directions!”

TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE.

A boss had an affair for the first time with his secretary. They spent time in his office till late at night. They kissed and cuddled and when they were done, the secretary turned to him and said, it is late and you are all messed up, your wife will take one look at you and realize what we did.

Don’t worry he said, I got this...

So the man got home. He did nothing to fix himself up. Only thing, He went to the grass and rubbed his shoes into the grass. Disheveled. Smelling perfume and lipstick all over he went and knocked on the door.

His wife opened the door to see him disheveled, smelling like perfume, lipstick all over. Before she opened her mouth, he said...

“Now before you say anything, I have to tell you that I was late because I just had an affair with my secretary. We were together for two hours and she kissed me all over that is why I have lipstick all over. Also that is why I have perfume smell all over..So the wife took one look at him, and screamed... You Scoundrel ! You expect me to believe such a story?! Look at your shoes, you have been playing golf again with your friends and got some waitress to kiss and leave a lipstick print on your shirt and rub all over you to smell like perfume, so you can come to lie to me. Get inside and clean yourself up! And let this be the last time you go golfing with your friends again... and I don’t want to hear a peep from you!
