LEGAL MATTERS CORNER MIRIAM MC GILLICUDDY ANSWERS YOUR LEGAL QUERIES

Cynthia Baker is setting up a new business “Ice Baker” selling home-made ice-cream and cakes including ice cream cakes and is creating an unusual distinctive logo and a look for her business with interesting colour schemes and designs. She is wondering how she can protect this branding.

Many cake and ice cream recipes are generic and it is hard to argue that they are protected by copyright as a new creative work. Moreover once they go into the public domain they are very difficult to control. The best way that Cynthia can protect any new recipes is with total secrecy around her research and development and tying her staff into confidentiality agreements. Coca Cola kept their recipe for Coco Cola secret initially in a bank vault for 125 years. In relation to her branding the logo, description and artwork can be protected by registering a trademark. If she is using a graphic design artist for her artwork she would need to ensure that all intellectual property in those designs and artwork are signed over to her in writing. Cynthia needs to register her business name provided it is not similar to a name already registered. She needs to do this as she is using a name that is not her own name. This can be done through the www.cro.ie and it costs only €20 if done online. Once the Certificate for the new business name is obtained it should be exhibited in her business premises. One can also do searches on www.cro.ie to check for similar business names out there already to help get one’s unique business name that is not similar to one in use already. Searches online will help with this also to ensure that there is no similar website/business name out there already which could be confused with her’s. If there is they may send her cease and desist letters which would be a disaster if she has already spent a fortune on paint, art work, illustration, colour scheme and business furniture and packaging.

She would also need to register a domain name for her website and email address. A lot of expense is put into early branding and advertising and it is important that Cynthia protects this as much as she can. If another business were to use similar designs and branding to her own and piggy back on her advertising she could potentially have an action in passing off if they do not cease and desist using her look on their products. She also may be able to use her trademark registration to get them to stop if they use a trademark similar to her own.

In relation to protecting a new invention like a new ice cream machine or part for the machine then one could register a patent. If one developed a new type of novel kitchen furniture in the shape of an ice cream scoop one could register it as an industrial design. The fountain of all knowledge on intellectual property in Ireland is www.patentsoffice.ie where one can do searches to see if anyone has taken out a patent or industrial design registration on an idea one would like to develop and you feel it is new.

Night of Festive Laughter In Store for Tralee This christmas be sure to come enjoy a night of stand-up

comedy. The show, happening on the 28th of December in The Greyhound Bar is sure to be a night of fun for everyone.

Tickets are on sale now for just 2.50 if you buy online and 5 euro on the night. Seek out "Brat Laughs Comedy" on facebook for more info. The show is being organised

by Oscar Brophy, a Ballyheigue native who now calls Bratislava, Slovakia his home. He is an active member of the Central European comedy circuit, regularly performing in Bratislava, Prague and Vienna. Joining him on the line up is Radio Kerry DJ-turned-comedian Brendan Fuller, who is a regular at the Kingdom Comedy Club in Killarney. After diving into the Irish comedy scene in February 2018, Lixnaw native Gillian Fitzgerald has brought her razor sharp wit and hilarious anecdotes to audiences across the country and beyond. Gillian has performed on famous stages in Dublin, such as The Comedy Crunch, The International Comedy Club, Cherry Comedyand the Comedy Cellar. Her festival credits include Electric Picnic, Vodafone Comedy Festival and Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Next up is Colm Brosnan, a native of Tralee who comes highly recommended by Tralee's most famous comedy export, internet sensation Shane Clifford. Zach Buggy, Tralee-born rapper and journalist, resident of the city of London bruv, will be delivering his own brand of acerbic wit to proceedings. Rounding out the lineup is Killkennyman turned Kerryman, Master of Ceremonies, Seamus Kelly, recovering comedian. Seamus is in many ways responisble for Oscar's first steps in stand up, and was working hard to build a stand up comedy scene in Tralee in the first half of the 2010s. What better way to end the decade than a night of hearty guffaws and absolute LOLZ? 6

Ian Duggans Company 4site acquired by Indigo UK TELECOM INFRASTRUCTURE COMPANY 4site is looking to expand internationally following its acquisition by British company Indigo.4site, which is based in Limerick, designs and builds equipment for telecoms infrastructure.

It was acquired this week

by UK outfit Indigo Telecom Group, which provides management and maintenance services to telecoms networks.

Chief executive Ian Duggan, who founded the company in 2002, and is from Tralee , said that the decision to sell to Indigo was driven by the need for stronger financial backing for growth.“We’ve been working into the UK for the last number of years but we’ve only been scratching the surface of the opportunity in the UK market,” Duggan said.“We see a lot of consolidation in the market.

I saw that happening before and we see more of that happening in the market,” he added.

One of 4site’s customers

is telecoms infrastructure company Cignal, which was acquired earlier this year by Spain’s Cellnex Telecom.

“We work for a lot of blue chip customers. If you don’t consolidate and grow, you’re left behind,” Duggan said.

Among 4site’s biggest customers in Ireland are Vodafone while in the UK its customers include fibre network infrastructure firm CityFibre. 4site is among the vendors in Ireland’s infamously delayed National Broadband Plan.Last month, the government put ink to paper on the €3 billion contract, awarding it to the consortium led Granahan McCourt, which includes partners such as Nokia and Actavo.“We’re the design contractor in the National Broadband Plan … one of our biggest services that we provide is the design of FTTH (fibre to the home) services,” Duggan said.“We’ve been doing that quite extensively in Ireland.

We’re doing a major part of that in the UK.”Another key growth area for the company

will be the burgeoning area of 5G networks.“We’re designing (5G) networks for operators, we’re designing their trial networks. We’re moving into roll-out phases with some of our customers on the design of the 5G networks.”According to 4site and Indigo, the combined business will have

an annual turnover of more than £50 million.Duggan said that 4site, which employs over 100 people, will have turnover this year that is “approximately in excess of €12 million”.

CBS The Green and Mercy Mounthawk make Bank of Ireland Money Smarts Challenge Grand Final Teams from CBS The Green and Mercy Mounthawk in Tralee, emerged victorious from the Kerry final in the Bank of Ireland Money Smarts Challenge, held in the Killarney Convention Centre on Thursday, December 12th.

A total of 132 students from 15 schools across Kerry took part in the final, comprising eight rounds of money related questions and puzzles, which saw CBS The Green emerge as the winners and the Mercy Mounthawk team claim the runner-up spot.

The two Tralee teams guaranteed their places in the Money Smarts Grand Final

next April, and now have the chance to claim the top prize of €25,000 for their school.

The Kerry final was the eighth regional contest to take place in the challenge, with Lauren Guilfoyle on hosting duties.

The Money Smarts Challenge is designed in conjunction with business studies teachers and Financial Wellbeing experts, and is part of Bank of Ireland’s five-year Financial Wellbeing Programme. The aim of Money Smarts is to increase financial awareness among teenagers, presenting core elements of financial wellbeing like spending, saving, earning, credit and debt through

interactive content and real life scenarios.

Rory Carty, Head of Youth Banking, Bank of Ireland, commented: “It was fantastic to see a strong turnout of Kerry schools displaying their financial knowledge at the Money Smarts Challenge held at the Killarney Convention Centre. It’s not always easy to get teenagers engaged about money management and financial literacy, but Bank of Ireland’s new secondary school competition puts students to the test and offers a fantastic prize of €25,000 to the winning school.

Congratulations to the teams

from CBS The Green and Mercy Mounthawk on their qualification from the Kerry final, we look forward to the welcoming them to Citywest for the Grand Final next April.”

There are 18 Money Smarts regional finals taking place between November 2019 and February 2020. Secondary schools from across Ireland can enter up to three teams, and school principals and teachers can find out more about the competition and how to register by visiting boi.com/moneysmarts. Early registration is advised as places are limited.

Kerry Supervalu Stores Celebrate At The Off Licence Awards Night On Thursday 28th November the annual Edward Dillion & Santa Rita Estates SuperValu Off Licence of the Year Awards took place at The Talbot Hotel, Dublin with finalists stores SuperValu Castleisland, SuperValu Listowel and SuperValu Tralee in attendance on the night.

While the Kerry stores didn’t win one of the top awards this year, on the night they enjoyed a cocktail reception tasting some of Edward Dillion’s best loved brands including Hennessy and Bombay Sapphire Gin. Hosted by RTE’s Shay Byrne with entertainment from top Irish comedian and actress Deirdre O’Kane, guests had an evening of laughter and delicious food paired with 12

TRALEE ADVERTISER

Santa Rita wines.

This year’s winners at the Edward Dillion & Santa Rita Estates SuperValu Off Licence of the Year Award won an exclusive trip to Argentina visiting Mendoza and the Dona Paula Vineyards and exploring the sights of Buenos Aires.

The finalist stores were judged

by Rodney Trenwith and were marked on a range of criteria including overall appearance, innovation and customer service.

Speaking at the event Andy O’Hara, CEO of Edward Dillion said: “Every year the standard of stores exceeds and surpasses the year previous.

It’s brilliant to see the passion that each store has to achieve excellence.

Friday 20th December 2019

We would like to thank and congratulate all the four

winning stores, and also to each of the finalist stores”.

NYE in Tralee – All you need to know about New Year’s Eve Tralee certainly sounds like the perfect spot to ring in the New Year with the Family. It’s hard to believe we reached the end of the year already, and also the end of another decade as we get ready to enter the 20’s The best way to end a decade is to give it a major send off, and cheer in the new year with a big street party…and the party starts early in Tralee.

At 5pm on Tuesday 31st of December, the ultimate disco band UV5 take to the Denny Street Stage to get things started. UV5 are described as ‘the gold standard of live music entertainment.

Delivering high energy shows around Ireland, the UK and Europe. With a set expertly designed for the dance floor, UV5 are a four-piece disco inferno that will whip crowds into a frenzy, and keep them coming back for more every

time’.

Ken Tobin of Tralee Chamber says “The live band are fantastic fun, and definitely for all ages. By starting early, we give a chance for everyone to come down and get something to eat or do some shopping, before heading off to Denny Street for the party at 5pm, and once the street party is over it means the kids can be dropped home in time for Moms and Dads to maybe hit the town to celebrate some more” “There is a late-bar exemption as usual right throughout the town on New Year’s Eve, and the bars will have some excellent entertainment lined up” “We want to say a special thanks to our supporters of the Fireworks for sponsoring the cost of it this year, and also to the everyone who has helped our team to organise

the New Year’s event and the other events throughout Christmas, including the great support from the Tralee MD of Kerry County Council along with the volunteers, stewards and the local businesses who got involved” Organisers recommend getting to Denny Street early with Denny Street (from Park Lane around to Ivy Terrace) closed to traffic from 4pm. UV5 are going to play from 5-7pm, pausing at 6pm to count-down the Fireworks show, before kicking the party into another gear to keep the crowds entertained.

“The party is bigger and better than any previous years, but like previous years we expect

large numbers from all over Kerry to come and celebrate in the County’s capital, so our advice is to get there early” The New Year’s Eve Fireworks

by Tralee Chamber Alliance is supported by Kerry County Council’s Community Support Fund and lead-sponsor Cara Credit Union, along with sponsorship from Borg Warner, Yummy Café and Manor West Retail Park.

Young Homes Ltd generous gesture raises funds for St Vincent De Paul Kerry

Patrick and Jacqui Young of Young Homes Limited and Mark Sullivan, General manager of The Rose Hotel met with Paddy Kevane of St Vincent de Paul Kerry and Deirdre Walsh of Radio Kerry to hand over the vouchers for the package that they kindly donated to help raise funds for St Vincent de Paul Kerry. The successful bidder was Paddy O Carroll who was unable to attend.

Patrick Young’s generous offer of Dinner B&B in The Rose Hotel, Tralee and a €500 Tralee Chamber Alliance Gift Card to spend in participating shops in Tralee was offered to Radio Kerry. After discussion with Mr Young it was decided to auction it on Radio Kerry in conjunction with the annual Christmas Jumper Day in aid of St Vincent De Paul. The €400 raised has been added to the Christmas Jumper Day fundraising, the tally for which currently stands at €9,000.

Patrick Young was born in Tralee in the 1950s. He emigrated to England where he set up Young Homes Limited, a development company based in Liverpool. He hopes one day to return to Tralee to develop areas of his native home town. Patrick has sponsored events at The Rose of Tralee International Festival in the past couple of years and looks forward to doing so again in 2020.

Mags gets motion to oppose 5G until further evidence

On Monday the 16th of December the motion to oppose the roll out of 5G in Kerry until independent scientific evidence can prove it is safe, was carried by Kerry Councillors.

Mags O’Sullivan from Tralee who has spoken out over her concerns with regard to the health effects of Radio Frequency Radiation said this is a good day for the citizens of Kerry. She thanked all the Councillors who voted in favour of protecting Kerry citizens from 5G milli-metre radiation exposure until it can be deemed safe through independent scientific studies. She especially thanked Councillor Norma Foley who put forward the motion seconded and supported

by Brendan Cronin and Mike Kennelly. Mags continued to say she will continue to lobby all the TD’s, Ministers and Senators in order to help protect every Irish Citizen from the exposure of 5G millimetre radiation. She continued to say 5G consists of a newer type of radiation which consists of high energy milli-meter radio waves which do not travel far, operate at much higher frequencies and have the ability to heat the outer layer of skin. To counteract the short distance travelled by these milli-meter waves, more 5G transmitters will have to be installed closer to homes and premises than previous technology generations to cover mass areas. It is the impact of so many masts, transmitters and antennas which will dramatically increase everyones exposure to 5G wireless radiation 24/7/365 days a year with no option to turn it off. Fibre Optics is a much safer solution to 5G. David Sullivan, chemist and author has stated “there is nothing wireless can do that fibre cannot do in terms of speed or low latency.”

Radio Frequency Radiation is known to cause:Cancer; Supressed immunity;Impaired fertility;Mitochondrial distress;Impaired cognitive function;Memory loss;Insomnia –supressed melatonin production;Brain Fog Mags continued to say there are many more undiagnosed Radio Frequency Radiation and Microwave induced illnesses due to chronic exposure so it is up to everyone to assess their own environment, identify their radiation exposure risks and take action to reduce these risks. In the new year Mags said that she will be calling on the Irish Government to consider her 8 point plan including the Initiation of a complete moratorium on the rollout of 5G and 5G related equipment in Ireland until the Minister, Comreg and the DCCAE provide the same number of independent, peerreviewed published scientific studies proving that Radio Frequency Radiation does not cause biological harm as those proving Radio Frequency

(Daily from 1pm, onstreet & Public Car Parks)

Chris & Colette

First issue of 2020 comes out on Friday the 10th of January

Shop Local, Spend Local, it really makes a difference!

Lets go back 7 years, its

2012... I want to tell you what wasn’t around… and when I say wasn’t around, I mean there were gaps, as in nothing there, or very little.

We were firmly in the grips of a bitter recession. None of the following businesses existed…

The Rose Hotel, Benner’s Hotel, Quinlan’s Fish, Costa, The Brogue, The Roast House, The Ashe Hotel, Chamber Alliance, Sports Direct, JRI America, Celsius, Dish, revamped Pennys, Dominos, Bathrooms4u, Munster Robes, Homestore & More, Lana, Jack Macs, John Doughs, House of Glamour, only one Aldi, one Lidl… the list could go on if I had more time.

Who would have thought back then, we would be where we are now? Tralee has bounced back, grown and matured, in the last few years. Best ever and biggest Rose Of Tralee this year - Its 60th Anniversary Year, Overall Winner of Enterprise Town in the whole of Ireland, Purple flag awards, The ITT on the 18

TRALEE ADVERTISER

cusp of University status, our youth finally beginning to be attracted back home.

Tralee, like the rest of Ireland has seen adversity, albeit in different guises before.

“Adversity is the mother of progress” - Gandhi. Tralee as a town and society has bounced back, through its business growth, through its achievements, through its endeavours, every day week and month, by its people.

There has been massive retail investment in the town, a revamped CH Chemists, Specsavers & Michael Guineys. And in the new year we will be seeing a massive global business come to town… Starbucks. While yes this isn’t a local business, it will provide careers for local people, and isn’t it a great sign that Starbucks wants to come to Tralee, that they think it’s worth setting up in our town?

Absolutely.

Don’t get us wrong, there is still plenty more to do, still daily and weekly challenges, but take a moment to look back and see where we have come from! And take a little satisfaction in knowing that you have been part of these changes. Todays voiced concerns seem a million miles away from way back, but yet only 7 years ago. Yes we have challenges now, what to do with the island of Geese? Is the Mall working out? Why are certain parts of retail still fragile?

Friday 20th December 2019

The constant looming of the online threat, the over expansion of certain industry sectors, remember you cant buy a cup of coffee or get your hair done online! Can we attract business away from the more densely populated areas of Ireland? Even Brexit! I call this ‘Positive Stress’ I'd take it any day of the week when compared to the alternative.

And we have grown too!

The Tralee Advertiser is an important element in the fabric of everyday life in Tralee. We report, we support, we promote, we encourage... why? It’s all for the improvement of Tralee as a place to live and to work.

We now publish with pride, a bigger, and we hope, better weekly magazine. We report “Whats happening in Tralee” as our tag line says! This little publication (now 26 years old) would in no way exist without you, it’s the readers who demand to read it each week nor without our advertisers who ensure that we can bring this magazine to you FREE every week. At this time of year, as throughout the year, we urge you sincerely to support them, our local businesses, to buy local, because that’s where a lot of our livelihoods come from - the local economy. If it does well, we all do well! A big thank you to our contributors, who help keep us fresh, current and topical, Rebecca our Beauty

& Fitness editor, Miriam’s Legal Corner, Billy from HRI in Tech Corner, Frances in Citizens information, Ken Kevin and David in Tralee Chamber Alliance, our wonderful Chef Noel, our photographers both the public and the professionals ,Joe Hanley John and Martin Cleary, and Domnick Walsh . Pat Hartnett for all his in depth top sports analysis. Our backroom team, The Keanes & Co at Kingdom Printers and Rafal, our excellent creative hardworking graphic designer from Expose Design, who both ensure we deliver an excellent publication EVERY week! And to everybody else who send us in photos, articles, poems, stories and so much more, a big thank you. Keep doing it… we really do appreciate it.

We are looking forward to a little break now… 50 issues back to back and still here! We start all over again on January 10th with our first issue of 2020. We are delighted to see our Digital Edition of the Tralee Advertiser grow so well in the last four years.

This addition to the Advertiser gives everybody the ability to read, on their smartphone or Tablet/iPad, anywhere in the world, the most recent edition of The Tralee Advertiser and see “What’s really happening in Tralee !”

Merry Christmas

Question I was in hospital recently and I was not happy with my experience there. When I complained to the nurse in charge I wasn’t satisfied with the response. How can I take my complaint further?

Answer The Health Service Executive (HSE) has a complaints system, called Your service your say, that you can use to make a complaint about your experience of a service provided by the HSE or on behalf of the HSE. If you want to make a complaint about a public hospital to the HSE, you can get support from the new Patient Advocacy Service to help you make your complaint. The Patient Advocacy Service is fully independent of the HSE. It is a free and confidential service that provides information and support to people who want to make a formal complaint about an experience they have had in a public acute hospital.

The Patient Advocacy Service provides support by phone helpline, on 0818 293003, and on its website, patientadvocacyservice.ie, where you can find information and a contact form. The service can explain how to make a formal complaint, including what you should include in your complaint and how to write it.

If there is a delay with the processing of the complaint or if you are not satisfied with the outcome, the Patient Advocacy Service can give you information about your options.

Connecting for a worthy cause . . .

Finish off the Christmas festivities in style with the Connect Kerry Annual Ladies Luncheon, Health, Beauty & Fashion Afternoon The Ashe Hotel Sunday January Kerry's premier monthly lifestyle magazine, Connect Publications, is hosting their annual Ladies Lunch and Fashion Afternoon at the Ashe Hotel Tralee, on Sunday January 5th 2020, renowned for the last Sunday in November, organiser of the event Margaret Kissane says ‘ this year we felt with Women’s Christmas falling on a Monday and so much happening on the lead up to Christmas that we would change things round a little and so we have an action packed day ready for those who worked hard over Christmas and now have the chance to relax before getting back into the routine that January brings.

The day will commence at 12.30pm with some bubbly and ladies can avail of bargains at the shopping village during the drinks reception, then it’s off to the main room for a delicious 4 course luncheon with fine

5th 2020. wines, The Ashe have created a mouth-watering menu and have even included their very popular slimmer’s choice which offers a delicious alternative for those who have started the healthy eating plan on January 1st, fashion from local boutiques will showcase the top 5 sale bargains they feel are a must for your wardrobe, and Emma Quirke Hair and Romy Birdthistle from Paradise Beauty will be on hand to provide many beauty tips and tricks for the upcoming spring events and family occasions.. More Guest speakers will join us on the couch to prepare us well for January and how best to get ourselves and our family healthy, and lots lots more.

Tickets are only €60.00 and are available from Margaret Kissane on 086 2408237, also available in That’s Perfect, and from the Ashe hotel.

Pre booking is essential and demand for tickets is

high, so book now to avoid disappointment. They are an ideal Christmas gift and I think we all know a lady who would love to find these tickets on Christmas morning.

Margaret Kissane, Publisher and Editor, Connect Magazine goes on to say ‘A fantastic day is planned and our ladies get to continue the evening in style at the infamous after party with the very entertaining Sean Crowley. All in all a great day out is guaranteed as always, so don’t miss it.’

‘We have always supported a local cause with our events here in Connect and proud to say we have raised lots for many charities over the years, however we have now choose to support local schools going forward with our events for a term to enable us to give something back to that area of our community, so this year’s lunch will support Tralee CBS Primary School, it’s one of the

many wonderful schools in the county and we hope you will join us and support them too, if it’s not your school don’t worry we will get to support your school very soon’.

Paula Lambert Puppet Theatre presents 'Bosco’ in Siamsa Bosco Magical Garden and Sleeping Beauty

Bosco is Bosco, not a boy, not a girl, just a Bosco: a cheeky, lovely, funny, slightly-cracked, irrepressible, eternal five-year-old who lives in a box and who loves nothing more than to just be Bosco and meet all the boys and girls.

After starring on Irish TV for three decades, you’ll see why Bosco remains a firm favourite for each new generation.

Enjoy the enchanted story of Sleeping Beauty where an evil Fairy-Night filled with jealousy try’s to harm Beauty but luckily she has very good fairy friends. With its brilliant array of Characters, lots of fun and excitement through this completely interactive live experience with the absolute magic of Puppet Theatre.

Warriors pass UCD exam to stay top of the League Garvey’s Tralee Warriors remain on top of the Super League table following an 86-76 win over keen rivals UCD Marian at the

Belfield Sports Complex last Saturday night. The Warriors exacted full revenge on Marian who had inflicted a defeat on the Tralee side in the opening game of the campaign and repaid them with interest by winning out after asserting late on.

Fittingly the two outstanding offensive players on the night for the Warriors Paul Dick and Jon Lawton fired in two late showstopping and game winning threes to seal another significant win for the defending champions.

Next up for the Warriors is the toughest of road trips as go head north of the border to take on Belfast Star in the De La Salle Hall next Saturday night. Along with DBS Eanna, the sides go into the contest as the form teams of the League, and it promises to be a game to savour before the festive break. Tip off next Saturday in Belfast is at 6.30pm.

Kerry’s Frs Recruitment Named Best Online Agency FRS Recruitment, who have offices in Kerry, have been named ‘Best Online Agency’ at the prestigious National Recruitment Federation Awards 2019. They were singled out for their dynamic digital presence, which has been extensively revamped over the last year to deliver high quality customer experience and service.

FRS Recruitment’s Kerry offices are located Moanmore, on the Tralee Road in Castleisland.

The NRF Awards are regarded as ‘blue ribbon awards’ of the Irish recruitment industry, with the NRF being the representative body for all the recruitment agencies operating throughout Ireland. This year’s ceremony took place in the Shelbourne Hotel, Dublin.

In their submission for the awards consideration, FRS Recruitment highlighted a range of key aspects to their digital strategy which set them apart from their competition.

The key element was the focus on people, which has

38

TRALEE ADVERTISER

been the core focus behind their successful online presence.

Speaking about the award recognition, Donal Broderick of FRS Recruitment Kerry said, “We were greatly honoured to receive this award, which is testament to our team in Kerry and around the rest of the country. A huge effort has been made by the various FRS Recruitment employees over the past year to enhance our digital presence. We wanted to ensure we had a top quality service that connected with jobseekers and made it simple for them to find great jobs and employment opportunities.

“Changing jobs is a major decision in anyone’s life and we wanted to emphasis the human dimension as much as possible. We wanted to tell the story of the candidate, giving them all the information they would need to make the choice that is choice that is right for them if they are considering applying for a new position. Our brand tagline is

Friday 20th December 2019

‘We Work for You’ and that is the ethos behind everything we do in FRS Recruitment.

It is thanks to our ability to bring that human touch to the online world that we received this award from the NRF,” Mr. Broderick concluded.

FRS Recruitment operates 10 offices around the country.

The business is part of the FRS Network, a not for profit social enterprise co-operative which was established in 1980

and also encompasses FRS Farm Relief, FRS Fencing, FRS Training and Herdwatch.

€500 Win for Kiltallagh NS, Castlemaine in Tralee in Lee Strand Cash 4 Schools Lee Strand visited Kiltallagh NS in Castlemaine to present a cheque of €500 in the Cash 4 Schools Draw. Speaking at the presentation Paula Ní Bhriain, Principal stated “On behalf of Kiltallagh National School, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all who have so generously been gathering tokens on our behalf, both in the school and in the wider community. Míle míle buíochas ó chroí to all in Lee Strand for our early but most welcome Christmas present! Here in Kiltallagh we have enjoyed taking part in the “Plan a school excursion to Lee Strand” in Ballymullen, Tralee and had the opportunity to explore the production plant and view all stages of

the milk production process.

We enjoy daily the Lee Strand school milk pack delivered to our school, offering pupils a nutritious drink full of vitamins, calcium and protein at an extremely reasonable price.

The Cash 4 Schools draw prize of €500 from Lee Strand is just the icing on the cake and could not have come at a better time. As play is such an important part of a child’s education, socialisation and growth, we are looking forward to investing the money won in some additional sports, playground and classroom games and equipment. Some new scooters, footballs, skipping ropes and hula hoops are already on our wish list.”

To celebrate Lee Strand’s new Renewable pack three more €500 Cash 4 Schools Draws will take place. To enter collect TEN Lee Strand has gone Green tokens on the side of Lee Strand’s new 1 Litre

2019 Rose of Tralee Sinead appeals for support for the HOPE Christmas appeal The 2019 International Rose of Tralee Sinead Flanagan is taking to her role as Rose of Tralee with all the compassion and humanity one expects from the winner of the title.

In November, like her Rose predecessors, Sinead took her first overseas trip to Kolkata (formerly Calcutta) to visit HOPE’s projects with street and slum children.

There she witnessed the shocking conditions endured

by Kolkata’s most vulnerable children, those who live in the slums, dumps and streets of India’s second most populous city.Speaking about the most

difficult experience of her trip to Kolkata, Sinead says that accompanying the night ambulance was upsetting and it struck her that all that is different between us is where we were born and appealed to people to remember the forgotten street children of Kolkata this Christmas.

"During my week in Kolkata I have seen how HOPE are giving vulnerable children an opportunity, through education and protection, to lift themselves out of the poverty that they were born into. It is a great privilege to get to witness this incredible work first-hand and to meet the other volunteers from Specsavers and The Law Society of Ireland”.

HOPE Honorary Director, Maureen Forrest, thanked The International Rose of Tralee Festival for their ongoing support and stated:“We are delighted and grateful to have such wonderful people here in Kolkata supporting our work around the 20th Annual Foundation Day. I am humbled by the support we have received from the Irish public in the past 20 years. These are the forgotten children, born into a world of dire

42

TRALEE ADVERTISER

Friday 20th December 2019

poverty. As people like Sinead give just a little of their time, skills, knowledge, wisdom, compassion, wealth and love, the world becomes a better place.”

Over the coming weeks HOPE will be encouraging people to buy a Gift of HOPE, download or purchase their new album called ‘Friends of HOPE’ or donate to help continue the work in Kolkata for Christmas, please see www.giftsofhope. ie. For as little as a €5 donation a week you can

sponsor a child’s education and make a huge difference.

What is very important, is a ou a e so e sor of ness alan e and you don’t go into, “feck it I’ll start in January” mode from now on. ere are op ps o ensure a doesn happen…

Plan your “big nights”: You’ve your

annual lun i e irls e s a par couples night out and you’ve been invited to more things than you can count. You know you’re going to be going hard and do every single one of those 12 pubs, and Jesus, John is fe in o e fro a er o ears ne Tuesday so we’ll have to hit the pub then, and we all know it’s just plain rude not to go out St Stephen's night. So, pick your i ni s and s o e urin e day before them stay hydrated, eat a good breakfast and monitor what you have during e da etter pa of a os ins ead of 10), and try to get some form of a workout in, 20 mins HIIT cardio, a walk with the dog, ANYTHING.

Sa a e Do not, I repeat, Do NOT, walk out of the gym(leave behind your exercise regime) because “Feck it, it’s Christmas now” and return on the second of JANUARY… well you can but 1) The gym will be packed the second of January and 2) You will not thank yourself, trust me. We all know Christmas is coming, it’s cold and dark and ou re red and es ou don a e o go to the gym for 2 hours everyday, no one

CHRISTMAS RECIPES Having a crowd over?

Party maybe?

This is a pure comfort dish , simple to make and great for a crowd !....with some tasty roast beetroot, pork shoulder is packed full of flavour and will go down a treat with your guests over the festive season !

Slow-roasted shoulder of pork Serves 6 INGREDIENTS • • •

• • • •

4-5 garlic cloves, peeled 2 red chillies shoulder of pork, also called the blade, about 2¾ -3kg/6lb-6lb 8oz, on the bone with the skin on and scored (ask the butcher to do this for you) juice 5 lemons 3 tbsp olive oil 300ml chicken stock large bunch oregano, leaves picked

METHOD Heat oven to 230C Using a mortar and pestle, smash the garlic with the chilli and some salt and pepper. Stab holes all over the flesh side of the meat, then rub the chilli mixture into the flesh, pushing it into the holes and any gaps between the muscles. Place the shoulder on a rack in a roasting tin, then roast for 30 mins or until the skin begins to crackle up, blister and brown. Pour over half the lemon juice and 2 tbsp of the oil. Reduce the heat to 180C, then leave the meat to roast for about 2 hrs. The shoulder is ready when it is completely soft under the crisp skin. You can tell by prodding it with a roasting fork – the meat should be tender and give way. Set the meat aside to rest. While the meat rests, make the gravy. Tip all the fat out of the roasting tin, then place the tin over a low flame. Tip in the rest of the lemon juice, then sizzle, scraping any sticky bits off the bottom with a wooden spoon. Pour in the stock, then bring everything to the boil. Strain the gravy through a sieve into a small saucepan, add the oregano leaves, then simmer for a moment. Serve each person some of the crisp skin and meat cut from different parts of the shoulder. Serve with the side dishes, see recipes below, and some buttered new potatoes.

Merry Christmas from the Tralee Advertiser!

Probiotics for Winter Health The use of beneficial bacteria, commonly known as “PROBIOTICS� to improve health dates back over a hundred years, but only in the last few decades have probiotics become very popular. They are now widely available and even used clinically to manage a variety of complaints.

Believe it or not we human beings are mostly made of bacteria, in fact the bacteria cells in your body out numbers your own cells 10 to 1.

Most of these bacteria are found in your digestive system and influence the health of not just your digestive system but your overall body.

Modern lifestyles, including stress, alcohol, antibiotics, poor diet and lack of exercise can cause an imbalance in your bacteria, depleting your good bacteria and allowing the bad bacteria to flourish, which may lead to poor health and sluggish digestion.

PROBIOTICS (available in capsule) are good bacteria that help improve the health of your gut. Good bacteria are also important for the development of a healthy immune system and some research has shown that a daily probiotic may help reduce risk of infection. They also help with digestive issues such as irritable bowel which may include loose bowel movements and or constipation, bloating and excessive gas.

Children are susceptible to coughs and colds and there are probiotics available specifically for children and many are suitable from birth.

Some of the most commonly asked question include: 1. 1: Can I just eat yoghurt which contains probiotics? Research shows that yoghurts made with probiotics often have very low

levels of good bacteria in them and may not help your gut bacteria. They may also contain additives including sugars, artificial sweeteners, flavouring or preservatives.

2: Do probiotics interfere with medication? There are no interactions between probiotics and common medications but if you are taking immune suppressants you should speak with your GP before taking probiotics.

3: Can I use them with antibiotics? Yes, just ensure you leave an hour or so between antibiotic and probiotic. Several studies have shown that probiotics may help prevent the negative effect of these medications on your good gut bacteria.

4: Can I take probiotics while pregnant? Probiotics can be used safely while pregnant and may have benefits for both mother and baby; as with all supplements it is best to stick with one formulated for pregnancy.

We know good bacteria are effective in digestive health but it is important to take the one to suit your specific needs.

Remember a healthy gut is an essential step towards good health. As always we are happy to advise you, just call in to any of our stores.

Until next time, stay healthy.

AN ELDERLY COUPLE WATCHING TELEVISION

Elderly couple... sitting down watching television when the commercials come on, the husband smiles at his wife and says, I would love some ice cream right now. His wife says, me too! What do you want, I’ll go get it. Husband: I’d like to have 2 scoops of vanilla with chocolate and caramel syrup whipped cream and a cherry on top. Wait, let me write that down for you so you don’t forget. Wife: You don’t have to write anything down, I’m not old like you. I’ll remember and bring it back in a few minutes. After a while, the wife comes back with a tray and proudly boasts, I remembered everything you asked for, Ive got eggs, sunny side up, bacon and orange juice. Sighing heavily with his hand on his head, the husband says, No you didn’t! You forgot the toast!!

A YOUNG MAN IS CAUGHT FISHING ILLEGALLY FOR LOBSTERS.

A young man is caught fishing illegally for lobsters.

He has two in his boat when the police approach him.

The young man claims he’s not poaching them and they are his pet lobsters, he’s just taking them for a swim.

“I let them play in the water for a few minutes but when I whistle they come back to me.”

So the police let him place the lobsters in the water and command the young man to call them back.

“Call who back?”

HURLER ON THE DITCH

Two 90 year old men, Pat and Tom, have been friends all of their lives. When it`s clear that Pat is dying, Tom visits him every day. One day Tom says, “Pat, we both loved hurling all our lives, and we played through all the ranks, right up from U-12 together for so many years. Please do me one favour, when you get to heaven, somehow you must let me know if there`s hurling played up there.”

Pat looks up at Tom from his death bed, “Tom, you`ve been my best friend for many years. If it`s at all possible, I`ll do this favour for you.”

Shortly after that, Pat passes on. At midnight a couple of nights later, Tom is awakened from a sound sleep by a blinding flash of white light and a voice calling out to him.

“Tom, Tom.” “Who is it?” asks Tom sitting up suddenly.

“Who is it?”

“Tom it`s me, Pat.” “You`re not Pat. Pat just died.”

“I`m telling you, it`s me, Pat,” insists the voice.

“Pat! Where are you?”

“In heaven”, replies Pat. “I have some really good news and a little bad news.

“Tell me the good news first,” says Tom. “The good news,” Pat says, “Is that there`s Hurling in heaven. Better yet, all of our old buddies who died before us are here too. Better than that, we`re all young again. Better still, it`s always spring time and it never rains or snows, so there`s no need for cancelled fixtures. And best of all, we can play all we want, and we never get tired...”

“That`s fantastic,” says Tom. “It`s beyond my wildest dreams!

So what could possibly be the bad news?”

“You`re starting corner-forward on Tuesday evening.”

FAI NATIONAl P.R.O. OF THE YEAR E E : No the Black and Amber have not swopped codes and were in a on in Mounthawk Park but if I had printed a headline two years ago that said us n Stacks have won the County ea ue i ision 4 on penal es readers would be thinking that I had cracked up.

But that was the case on Sunday en e nal a ains Ra ore ended le el ea a er e ra e o se s of pla ers deser e great credit for the display they put on in the worst of the weather.

The Tralee side got an early goal in the second minute when Kieran Donaghy’s pass found Fiachna Mangan for the opening goal.

Playing with the wind the Stack led before a vital goal for Rathmore put them back in to the game leaving the Stacks 5 points up at the break.

Ra ore ad e etter of e ondi ons in e se ond alf and e nal is le e sides ould not be separated at 1-09 each.

Both teams could only manage one poin ea in e ra e as e ondi on and e ea er e an o take their toll – it must be said that the grounds men in Rathmore had e pi in rea ondi on And then history was made with e rs e er G penal s oo out in Kerry. While many will not be happy that games are decided this way one must remember that if it went to a replay the players would have to train again this week and play another game less than a week before Christmas Day. This is not fair on them, the management or their families and so I believe the right decision was made in agreement with the County Board o ial presen ns a e as in eres n o read was that the Stacks season covered 47 weeks staring as far back as January 27th – now that shows the commitment that’s demanded from our local footballers.

Darragh O’Brien, Micheal O’Gara and Sean Quilter scored as e sides ere ed a er 4 penal es ea en Ra ore missed there were very few players ou ould an a in our penalty than Kieran Donaghy. e ul alen ed spor s an ad starred with the Warriors the night

I think it will as the demand’s on the players is so great now that the ore a es a an e nis ed on e da e etter nd ere is nothing wrong with borrowing aspects of other sports if they work for you!
