LEGAL MATTERS CORNER MIRIAM MC GILLICUDDY ANSWERS YOUR LEGAL QUERIES

Sylvia Pinkchester was looking at her boundary hedge between herself and her neighbour which was getting a bit on the straggly side and was harbouring multiple brambles. It was also spreading out into herself and her neighbour’s property. She is wondering what to do about it.

The presumption in law is that each owner of property with a shared boundary owns his or her own longitudinal section of the boundary with the owner on the other side as tenants in common so neither owner can unilaterally pull it down or prevent the other owner from enjoying rights over it. So Sylvia cannot go at the hedge without the consent of the other shared owner. If she does she could be liable in trespass and nuisance at the very least and if she hit a pipe or caused damage to the neighbouring property -negligence.

Communication obviously is key, and one person’s meat is another person’s poison, and the neighbour might treasure the advancing greenery, so it is important to be diplomatic and see how the neighbour views the hedge and try and get them to agree to a neater green hedge and share the costs.

This is Sylvia’s challenge and hopefully with a reasonable neighbour she will be able to make progress.

If she cannot get agreement and meets a stone wall! she can make an application to the district court for a works order under Section 45 of the Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Act 2009. This is an application to court to get a court permission for the works to be carried out and offers protection for Sylvia from actions in trespass, nuisance, property damage and criminal damage but the works order obtained must be strictly adhered to as departure from it could leave Sylvia open to legal action. This application to court must be on notice to the adjoining landowner so that they make representations to the court. The Judge has a wide discretion in relation to the works order he might make, and it could include gardening work in relation to the hedge bearing in mind damage and inconvenience to the adjoining landowner. The Judge can also set terms and conditions in relation to the works e.g., timing, professional advice, insurance, provision of detailed schedule of works etc. He may also set out provisions for covering the costs of the works and the costs of any damage to the adjoining property as well as contribution payable by adjoining landowner. As you can imagine the above could be significant cost and trouble so Sylvia might decide bearing in mind all the above to simply trim back her side and weed as long as she does not do any detrimental damage to the hedge.

The Serenity Garden at Hogans

HOGANS... TAKING CARE OF ALL FUNERAL EVENTS

Our personal touch is there for all religious, non-religious and civil funeral ceremonies.

Demand for non-religious funerals is growing and Hogan’s Funeral Home are responding their service to reflect the needs of the local community in Tralee and surrounding areas. In the last Census, 2022, the number of people who reported having no religion increased to 736,210 nationally - that is over 14% of the population. Celebrating an individual’s life that is personalised can be done in a number of ways, including religious, non-religious and civil funeral ceremonies at Hogan’s Funeral Home.

A non-religious ceremony can be specifically designed by the family and friends reflecting the wishes of the deceased. A civil Celebrant or Humanist can guide you through the process and then conduct their spiritual ceremony which can include reflections from family members or friends, music, poems and readings.

Sean has been in the funeral business for over 35-years starting with Lynch’s Funeral Home in Castlegregory which he still runs, and now Tralee after purchasing Hogan’s Funeral Home in 2021.

John O'Rahilly has worked in Hogan's Funeral Home for over 65 years and since his time the premises has undergone significant refurbishment which is contemporary, calm and serene.

Sean, John and the Hogan's team are highly skilled caring professionals who are well-known throughout Kerry for the personalised service they offer.

They create a solid relationship with each family they work with and are delighted to be able to offer a range of funeral services to the people of Kerry.

While a non-religious funeral can be held anywhere, Hogan’s has a number of inter-faith rooms available to mourners, including the large bright modern Fuchsia Room and the Serenity Garden where loved ones can gather and celebrate the life of their beloved in a personalised funeral service - to give them a fitting tribute on their final journey.

Hogans also has the Family Room which provides a personalised break-out space for the immediate family members to use before, during or after the service. Religious ceremonies can be held in The Rose Chapel. Livestreaming is available from all rooms and Chapel.

Owner of Hogan’s Funeral Home, Sean Lynch, says “The most common funeral service in Kerry is still centered around the Christian and Catholic faiths, but we want to acknowledge the diverse culture and community living in Ireland today and feel it is important to reflect their wishes at such an emotional time in a family's life".

Hair’s to Dáithí!

Renowned broadcaster Dáithí Ó Sé has undergone hair restoration treatment at the Cosmetic and Hair Restoration Clinic (CHRC), Bon Secours Hospital Tralee (BSHT), achieving fuller, thicker, and healthier-looking hair. The CHRC team in Tralee is proud to announce Dáithí Ó Sé as the clinic’s hair restoration Brand Ambassador, aiming to destigmatize hair loss and raise awareness about available treatments.

CHRC’s Client Liaison, Nicole McEllistrim, stated that Dáithí’s popularity, integrity, and profile as a TV presenter made him an ideal Brand Ambassador. The CHRC in Tralee boasts Ireland’s only stateof-the-art artificially intelligent hair restoration robot, the ARTAS iX.

The procedure, conducted by Dr. Mohamed Abdelrahim, utilized the ARTAS iX robotic system, a minimally invasive hair transplant technology employing Artificial Intelligence (AI) to achieve natural results without scalpels or stitches.

Dáithí, who had his first consultation with Dr. Mohamed in December 2022, expressed his satisfaction with the procedure, noting the absence of pain and swift recovery. He also underwent Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatments to enhance hair density, a novel procedure utilizing the patient’s own blood platelets.

Dáithí openly shared his hair restoration journey, highlighting its transformative impact on his confidence and self-esteem. He emphasized feeling like a younger

version of himself after the procedure, embracing his improved appearance. The CHRC hopes that Dáithí’s candid experience will help break taboos around hair restoration, encouraging more men to seek assistance.

Dáithí’s journey will be showcased on CHRC’s social media platforms, aiming to raise awareness about the positive impact of hair restoration.

For further information about CHRC’s hair restoration services or to schedule a consultation, interested individuals can contact 086 0786 120 or email chrc@ bonsecours.ie.Photo By : Domnick Walsh © Eye Focus LTD .

Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) can treat a wide range of conditions from joint pain (e.g. hip pain, shoulder pain), muscular pain (e.g. low back pain, neck pain), postural imbalances, sports injuries, and repetitive strain injuries.

How does Neuromuscular Therapy differ from other treatments?

While other approaches have their merit, NMT focuses on and works closely with our nervous system to help alleviate pain and restore movement. NMT considers the interconnectedness of the muscular and nervous system to tackle the underlying factors in your injury/condition.

How can I book an appointment with KP Therapy?

Simply, head over to www.kptherapy.ie to schedule an appointment.

What’s involved in a Neuromuscular Therapy Session?

While every NMT session is different, a typical NMT session involves an initial assessment followed by hands on treatment using a range of NMT techniques. To conclude the session your therapist will provide some aftercare advice and information on follow-up treatment.

How long will it take to see results?

Many people feel the benefit after only one session. However, for more complex issues, 5-6 sessions are recommended.

Have a good weekend!

Mass celebrated at God’s Acre, Ballybeggan next Wednesday

The main burial ground for those who died in Tralee Workhouse (now Áras an Chontae) during The Famine was the small cemetery that was opened in 1846 in the north-east corner of the site; it’s still possible to visit it. In September of ‘Black ‘47’, as the dreaded Gort Mór raged among our people and as deaths and burials increased, the Poor Law Commissioners ordered that the authorities in every workhouse in the country were to bury their dead paupers in separate locations at a distance from Tigh na mBocht! It has long been the belief in Tralee that it was then that God’s Acre in Ballybeggan was opened as the Workhouse Cemetery. For over 160 years, people have been regularly visiting that very special little burial ground and devoutly praying for the souls of the departed; they pray especially for those ‘known only to God.’ That wonderful tradition continues!

On Wednesday next, 8th November, at 3pm, the annual Mass for the Holy Souls will be celebrated in God’s Acre, Ballybeggan, Tralee, by a priest from the Parish of St John the Baptist. Everybody is invited to come along and pray for their own dead as well as for those who have nobody to pray for them. ‘It is a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead that they may be loosed from sins’ (Maccabees).

This year’s event is being organised by God’s Acre Committee 2023 which is led by Dawn Uí Chonchubhair (cathaoirleach), John Mason (leaschathaoirleach), Eddie Ó Murchú (rúnaí), Sinéad Uí Allmharáin (cisteoir). Beannacht Dé le hanamacha na marbh.

READ ABOUT SOPHIE’S JOURNEY WITH US Hi my name is Sophie. I was a student in the National Learning Network for five years.

Before I came to the National Learning Network I was in mainstream school in Killarney where I was bullied and found it very difficult to get on with other people and make friends. I found the work very difficult because of my condition which made it harder to learn for me. My Guidance counsellor recommended the National Learning Network Tralee for me.

I started searching about the National Learning Network and found that this was the place for me because it has small class sizes, no leaving cert points needed, students learn at their own pace and students are supported all the time.

I began with directions which is a QQI Level 3 course. I completed this course for 3 years. I completed modules like personal and interpersonal skills, self-advocacy, career preparation, work experience, and computers just to name a few. This course helped me to explore various careers. I learned so much during this course such as budgeting and independence. Because of this course and thanks to the instructors, I was the first student in the course to live independently and still am for 9 years. I experienced various work experiences on this course such as retail and working in schools and even got to sample other courses too.

After directions, I went on to Sporting Chance which is a QQI Level 5 in Sports, Recreation and Exercise. I knew this course was for me as I am mad into sports and fitness. During Sporting Chance, I gained various qualifications such as Gym Instructor, Personal Training, Sports Massage, Kickstart level 1, Assistant Swim Teachers level 1, and lifeguard. I also got to complete various work experiences in gyms. This course gave me the opportunity to go further and pursue my career in MTU Kerry where I have completed a Level 7 and currently finishing a Level 8 in Coaching and Sports Performance.

The National Learning Network changed my life so much. It made me feel inclusive where I was able to get on with everyone. I felt I was listened to and really supported by the staff. I didn’t feel under pressure to learn because classes were small, and it was easier to learn at my own pace. It gave me the opportunity to go further with my education which allowed me to go to MTU Kerry and pursue my education further as well as gain confidence and support while living independently.

My future involves going back to MTU Kerry to complete my master’s and open my own business as a personal trainer. This wouldn’t have been possible without the help of the National Learning Network which I like to call a second home.

Can Cryotherapy save my 5 a side soccer career?

They say you know you are getting older when it takes you longer to recover from the event than the length of the event itself !

Well here I am , born in ‘65 ( work it out for yourself ...I won’t admit it ! ) and like to think I enjoy being active ..whether it’s walking with herself ( Colette!) , Cycling ..( did the Greenway last Sunday , fantastic ) , Swimming ...love the Sea Swimming ...or even the odd game of golf ( played recently again after a 13 year break ! ).

And dare I admit it , I play soccer twice a week , every Tuesday ( 5 a side indoor in Cuman Iosef ) and Wednesday ( 7 a side in the Complex Astro pitch) ...oh why are the 2 games back to back ...n0 recovery there ! And therein lies the problem , ( well apart from Father time !) ..I’ve been playing now ever since I arrived in Tralee from Galway in 1989 ...wow ..I’m now 35 years playing ...and still enjoying it ,, albeit at maybe a slower pace ...!

Goalie was my main position but enjoy outfield too ! And injuries could be counted on one hand TG ..Quads, Hamstring , Calf pulls mainly ..and yes an MCL injury to my knee in 2022 (that took a good while to come back from ) ...So how am I going to continue playing ? , ( If every week , my body could be screaming at me to stop ...or at least go down to 1 day a week ) But as Barney Mc Kenna , the Banjo player in the Dubliners , replied when asked , “ when are you going to retire ? “ ...he retorted , while continuing to strumm ...” too late to stop now !”

The question nags me every week ...its very social , great group of lads , enjoyable and competitive enough to keep you running after the ball ! Well maybe the answer is right in

front of me ..a secret treatment that was once only enjoyed by the rich, famous, well heeled and connected ...and of course ...by the Kerry footballers! ( ask Barry John Keane ) !

You see, there is a business family in town that have invested heavily in state of the art technology to run their empire , mainly the Tanning Studio , but as I only found out this year when I started working with Mario and Illona through The Tralee Advertiser , they also have installed a ‘Top of the Range ‘ Cryotherapy Chamber in the premises, The Sun Factory Tanning Salon in Rock St (opposite Supervalu ).

They also operate FroYo land ( Ice Cream Bar etc ) but thats another story . So last Monday on Marios invitation , I went along to my 3pm appointment for my inaugural session in the Cryo Chamber ...not knowing what to expect from a visit to a chamber that goes down to minus -160 degrees .. it was ‘.created ‘ in 1978 in Japan ,designed to heal certain injuries ) ...and the session lasts approximately 3 minutes ( if you can handle it ! .most can ) with Mario in attendance supervising the whole time ...You see , the way Cryotherapy works, and the secret behind Cryotherapy is that it speeds up recovery of the body whether from injuries or just Father time taking its toll on the body ...Initially as the cold temperature hits you , your brain will trigger a rush of adrenaline and endorphins into your bloodstream, skin temperature will drop to around zero degrees, but your core temperature will remain at approx 37 degrees ..after the session you will feel a tingling sensation over your skin surface ( yes , I did! ) which has an energetic euphoric effect ( yes ..felt that too !) as oxygenated

blood pumps around your body , helping to reduce inflammation .

Effectively your capillaries expand to 4 times their normal size , which enables your white blood cells to start the healing process which speeds up the recovery by 50% over the natural process . Other benefits that have been documented from Cryotherapy include pain relief ,reduced inflammation , increased energy , enhanced mental well-being as well as skin rejuvenation .

Thats the simple explanation ! How did I feel afterwards?

Well I did get tingling in my toes ( I was supposed to put the supplied socks on going in ,,,but too busy chatting to Mario and taking snaps ! ) and Yes , initially I will say that I felt ‘ better ‘ on Monday evening and the body was more relaxed and not as stiff /sore in the lead up to my 8pm game on Tuesday ..and as I write this late Tuesday night , the body maybe isn’t talking to me as much ...but time will tell..its not a magic bullet..initially ..as Mario reckons 1 session a week to feel the ongoing benefits of Cryo and if you are recovering from injury , 2 sessions a week should have a pronounced effect on your recovery

. Roll on next weeks session ...

I will keep you posted ..

By the way Meet Dan Hickey! , an Ardfert man who I met on Monday in with Mario...you see Dan is a sprightly 80 year old and as he says himself . “ I suffer a lot from swollen and Inflamed knees and my legs “ ...This was impacting on Dans ability to walk , but is now a regular visitor to the Cryotherapy Chamber ( about twice a week ) and he swears by it ...the relief it has given him has been ‘lifechanging ‘ and walking isn’t the issue it used to be ...Hows that for a recommendation !

Mario is constantly running introductory offers for the Cryo Chamber so you can try a session out ...Just tell him Chris the legendary Soccer player sent you ! ( Mario 066-7120873 Sun Factory Tanning Salon Rock St Tralee )

TALKING SPORT WITH THE TRALEE ADVERTISER BASKETBALL- GARVEYS TRALEE WARRIORS InsureMyVan.ie Men’s Super League 2023/2024 - Round 5 Flexachem KCYMS pulled off a thrilling victory against Garvey’s Tralee Warriors in a local derby.

This marks the first time since 2019 that KCYMS secured a win against the Warriors.

Key Moments: The Warriors trailed at the end of all four quarters, with a critical period in the second quarter when KCYMS scored 14 unanswered points.

The game was marred by a midgame injury to Daniel Jokubaitis, who could be doubtful for the upcoming National Cup clash with Sligo.

KCYMS’s Lovre Tvrdic opened the scoring with a three-pointer, countered within seconds by the Warriors’ Ryan Leonard.

A heated personal battle between Rap Buivydas and KCYMS’s RJ Kelly added intensity to the contest.

The hosts inched ahead with impressive plays by Kendall Jacks and RJ Kelly.

The Warriors responded with two stunning three-pointers from Jokubaitis.

KCYMS’s Kelly fired back with consecutive threes, giving the home side an 18-17 lead in the first quarter.

The Warriors surged ahead in the second quarter with three-pointers from Leonard and Jokubaitis.

However, Killorglin orchestrated a remarkable 14-point run, swinging the game in their favor.

Despite late efforts from Johnny Williams and Buivydas, the Warriors still trailed 41-36 at halftime.

KCYMS’s RJ Kelly and Kendall Jacks extended their lead in the third quarter.

The Warriors fought back, equalizing through Johnny Williams and well-coordinated team plays.

Nonetheless, Killorglin regained momentum with Tvrdic, Kelly, and Scott Angus’s plays, leading 62-55 into the final quarter.

The Warriors launched a comeback in the fourth quarter, briefly taking the lead.

Tragedy struck as Jokubaitis suffered a serious leg injury, leaving the Warriors without their threepoint specialist.

KCYMS seized the initiative with a scoring spree, securing their win.

The final score was Flexachem KCYMS 83, Garvey’s Tralee Warriors 76.

Top Scorers: Flexachem KCYMS: RJ Kelly (28 points), Kendall Jacks (19 points), Lovre Tvrdic (16 points) Garvey’s Tralee Warriors: Johnny Williams (22 points), Ryan Leonard (17 points), Jarvis Doles (13 points) Upcoming Fixture: The Warriors will face EJ Sligo AllStars in the InsureMyHouse.ie Pat Duffy National Cup. The winner will earn a spot in the quarterfinals, taking on Bright St. Vincent’s.

IN MEMORY NOVENA TO ST. MARTHA O St. Martha, I resort to thee and to thy petition and faith, I offer up to thee this light which I should burn every Tuesday for nine Tuesdays. Comfort me in all my difficulties thro’the great favour thou didst enjoy when our Savour lodged in thy house.l beseech thee to have definite pity in regard to the favour I ask (mention favour).

Intercede for my family that we may always be provided for in all our necessities. I ask thee St. Martha to over come the dragon which thou didst cast at thy feet. One Our Father and three Hail Mary’s and a lighted candle every Tuesday and the above prayer made known with the intentions of spreading devotions to St. Martha. This miraculous Saint grants everything before the Tuesdays are ended. No matter how difficult. A.D.

THE MIRACLE PRAYER Dear Heart of Jesus in the past I have asked for many favours, this time I ask you this special one (mention favour). Take it dear Heart of Jesus and place it within your Heart where your Father sees it, then in his merciful eyes it will become your favour not mine. Amen. Say this prayer three times for three days and your favour will be granted. Never known to fail. Must promise publication of prayer. J.E.
