Billy simplifies and explains Todays Technology Question:

I have Virgin formally UPC, they are ending their service on the18th of April ....what are my options?

If you watch sport then Sky would be you best solution, because you can subscribe to Sky Sports. If you have fibre broadband you can get E-vision from Eir or Vodafone TV from Vodafone. But if you just want extra choices you could install a Free to Air system which would give you extra channels, for example, BBC1, BBC2, UTV SKY NEWS and many more. There is no subscription for the Free to Air system. There is also a “recorder box for the free to air systems” which will record the UK channels and has series link. You may need to get a saorview aerial to receive the Irish channels.

Question:

How do I keep my laptop battery in good health?

All laptop batteries are built to handle a certain number of usage cycles, estimated roughly around 500, and often more. Each cycle of use decreases the battery’s capacity, so the less you drain it, the longer it’ll last — all other things being equal so when you are using your laptop plugged in, it is a good idea to remove it. Never let your battery discharge fully. Heat breaks down the battery, and reduces its overall life. When you use your laptop, make sure the vents are unblocked. Never work with the laptop on pillows or cushions. If possible, put it on a raised stand that allows for plenty of airflow.

My Offer of the Month

Anyone who wants to move /or has to move from Virgin Media (formerly UPC) ... to one of my 'Free to Air' Satellite systems (€200 + No Bills!) will get a FREE SAORVIEW Aerial (worth €80) OFFER AVAILABLE UNTIL APRIL 30TH

PROTECTING THE KINGDOM PHONEWATCH OPENS NEW OFFICE IN TRALEE

Company actively recruiting for its South West Sales Team Tuesday 23rd March 2015. PhoneWatch, Ireland’s leading provider of monitored Home Safety Systems has opened its first office in Tralee, and will be creating up to 12 new jobs initially, with additional jobs being created as the company grows its business in Kerry.

The offices were officially opened by Kerry GAA Star Mark O’Sé today. PhoneWatch is actively recruiting for its sales team to lead the company’s expansion in the county and has appointed Vincent Murtagh from Tralee as Sales Manager for the new office.

Speaking at the opening, Alen Tully, Sales Director at PhoneWatch said; “People are becoming increasingly concerned about home safety. Almost every day the newspapers are reporting on burglary and rural crime. Up to the 30th of September 2015, 327 burglaries were recorded in Kerry and those are only the ones that were reported. The trends are suggesting that this is set to continue into 2016.”

He continued. “PhoneWatch is encouraging all householders to review their home security arrangements. We no longer live in a society where keys can be left in doors or window left open. Thieves thrive on rural isolated areas. The only way to adequately ensure that your house is protected is by installing a monitored home security system.”

Vincent Murtagh, Sales Manager of the PhoneWatch Tralee is very excited to be leading the PhoneWatch business expansion in Kerry.

“This is a very exciting opportunity for me personally and I’m thrilled to be leading the growth of the PhoneWatch business in Kerry.

It also brings much needed new jobs to the county which is something I am incredibly proud to be part of” he said.

He continued, “PhoneWatch is a fantastic company to work for. It has a structured training programme, and provides daily coaching and mentoring which gives you every opportunity to progress in your career”, he said. “We’re always looking for the right people and I’d encourage anyone interested in a career in sales to talk to us, even if they have no sales experience”.

According to Vincent, a career in sales is very rewarding. “You’ve great flexibility in structuring your own day; excellent income potential, and there is great satisfaction in knowing that customers who buy a PhoneWatch system enjoy great peace of mind knowing their home is protected and monitored 24/7.

Details of new jobs available at PhoneWatch in Tralee and in other locations can be found at http://www.phonewatch.ie/careers-atphonewatch or call PhoneWatch on 1850 442 700 to speak to one of the recruitment team.

The societies other two shops at Friary Lane - one clothes, and one furniture continue to trade very successfully, and all three shops are working in tandem to bring an unrivalled retail experience.

Junior Locke Tralee Area president is delighted with the initial reaction “the people of Tralee have been very supportive of the new shop, in terms of donations, volunteers, and sales and for this I would like to say a big thank you”. Junior is appealing for further donations for the three Vincent’s shops in Tralee “donations are the lifeblood of our shops, so I would appeal to people when donating think of your local Vincent’s shops in Castle Street, or Friary Lane”. “We can convert that bag of donations into revenue, revenue that will help people in need in the local community, so please think of your local Vincent’s shop”.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS: DISCRIMINATION WHEN RENTING RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY Question Are advertisements saying that landlords won’t accept tenants getting Rent Supplement allowed?

Answer Equality legislation applies to lettings and accommodation.

The Equal Status Acts 2000-2015 ban certain kinds of discrimination. Broadly speaking, discrimination means that you receive less favourable treatment than other people in a comparable situation on grounds of gender, civil status, family status, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability, race or membership of the Traveller community.

Landlords cannot discriminate against potential tenants on these grounds.

Since 1 January 2016, following an amendment to the Equal Status Acts, landlords cannot discriminate against tenants because they are getting Rent Supplement or any other social welfare payment, or a Housing Assistance Payment (HAP).

This means that landlords can no longer state when advertising accommodation that Rent Supplement (or HAP) is not accepted and they cannot refuse to rent you accommodation because you are getting Rent Supplement, HAP or a social welfare payment.

However if you are sharing with the home owner (under the Rent a Room Scheme, for example), a license agreement exists and the Acts do not apply. There are some other exemptions.

If you feel you have been discriminated against by a landlord or their agent, you can contact the Workplace Relations Commission to find out more about making a complaint under the Equal Status Acts. Visit workplacerelations.ie for contact details.

For more information about your rights you can contact the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission.

KERRY COUNTY COUNCIL VISITS TOURISM IRELAND IN NEW YORK

Representatives of Kerry County Council, who were in New York for the St Patrick’s Day period, met with senior executives from Tourism Ireland in New York last week. They were briefed on Tourism Ireland’s extensive promotional programme for 2016, which is in full swing right now. Tourism Ireland aims to build on the success of 2015, which was the third record-breaking year in a row for Irish tourism from the United States. Alison Metcalfe, Tourism Ireland’s Head of North America, said: “Tourism Ireland is undertaking an extensive programme of promotional activity again this year – to build on the success of 2015. Our ambition is to grow visitor numbers from the United States by a further +7% in 2016. “St Patrick’s Day traditionally marks the real start of the tourism season for us; our aim is to bring a smile to the faces of people everywhere and to convey the message that Ireland offers the warmest of welcomes and great fun, as well as wonderful scenery and John Griffin, Kerry County Council; Alison Metcalfe, Tourism Ireland; Pat McCarthy, heritage. We took every opportunity to capitalise Mayor of Kerry; and Deirdre O’Brien, Tourism Ireland, in the Tourism Ireland office in New York. on Ireland’s heightened profile last week; the saturation coverage about Ireland at this time of year – across the airwaves, in newspapers and digital media – is an invaluable boost for our overall tourism marketing drive in 2016.” Tourism Ireland participated in and promoted the island of Ireland at a range of St Patrick’s Day events across the United States. For the first time ever, 7 World Trade Center at Ground Zero in New York, the famous Boston Red Sox (baseball team) and Reunion Tower in Dallas joined Tourism Ireland’s Global Greening initiative to celebrate St Patrick and Ireland. Other major landmarks to be illuminated in green included the Empire State Building, the iconic ‘Welcome’ sign in Las Vegas and the world-famous Niagara Falls. And Chicago also went all out to celebrate St Patrick and Ireland once again this year, with numerous buildings and sites across the city ‘seeing green’ – including Navy Pier, the John Hancock Center, Soldier Field (home to the famous Chicago Bears team), the Wrigley Building, Chicago Gaelic Park and One Prudential Plaza.

BROGUE LINES UP ANOTHER”ABSOLUTE 80’S NIGHT “ WITH CHRIS SHORTT THIS WEEKEND

After a great response to the previous “ABSOLUTE 8O’S NIGHTS in the Brogue , This Easter Sat night March 26th , its going to happen again !! Yes , the Brogue Inn is playing host to ANOTHER late night “ Absolute Eighties” session with well -known local DJ Chris Shortt .”We wanted to try something a little bit different , as we are now having entertainment up to 7 nights a week in the Brogue “ says Fiona Kirby .So Chris came up with the idea of an “Absolute 80’s Night “ which we thought was brilliant . According to Chris , “these nights really rock .....People who I haven’t seen in years come out purely to hear the great songs of the 80’s ....It really brings the great memories flooding back “ says Chris .... I grew up with the music of the 80’s , a lot of the crowd who come out on Sat night to the Brogue are very familiar with this music and even a lot of the younger generation in their 20s and 30’s are really into that decade of Music ....we are talking Bob Marley , The Police , Deacon Blue , Simple Minds , Dire Straits , Abba , the list goes on ...Remember MT USA with Fab Vinny ...we are talking Michael Jackson , Van Halen, The Pointer Sisters , Starship , The Eagles , Fleetwood mac . Chris really knows his music , he has been the Rose Ball DJ for many many years now “ says Kevin Cotter .from the Brogue ..”.it only makes sense to have someone who knows the 80’s music back to front entertaining our customers rather than having someone working from a Playlist!” Hopefully AGAIN on the night , we will find other people who know their music as the Brogue have some lovely tasty prizes from Cobblers Restaurant , and their Piano Bar upstairs as well as from the Carvery downstairs “ So remember this Easter Saturday Night is “ABSOLUTE 80’S NIGHT with Chris Shortt in the Brogue

This page is sponsored by Munster Robes & Kitchens Hello my beautiful friends. I hope you’re all having a fabulous week!

This week I will be talking about How To Do Brows.

Eyebrows are taking over the world! They’re one of the most lusted after facial features and top of every makeup brands newest product list. I am obsessed with eyebrows, they can change up your entire look and they frame your face. There are many different products and tools I use to maintain my brows the way I like them.

• BROW TREATMENT: To ‘treat’ my eyebrows I go to Jurga in Sean Taaffe Tralee. She is my absolute BROW

•

QUEEN. She knows exactly how to make your brows look amazing! Even though I live in Dublin now, I still only go to Jurga to get my brows done, I wouldn’t trust anyone else. In between visits to Jurga I just pluck any stray hairs that annoy me.

BROW PRODUCTS: When I’m doing my makeup I ALWAYS fill in and shape my brows, always. I look back at pictures of when I didn’t and I cringe, it looks terrible, well on me anyway. I don’t use pencil when filling in my brows as I find I can achieve a more natural not so ‘drawn on’ look if I use either a shadow based or cream based product.

THE ESSENTIALS: For me, there are three must have products when it comes to my brows.

1. Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade: This is a cream based eyebrow product that I fill in my brows

2.

3.

using an angled brush. I got this in Sephora over in America but don’t worry, it’s available online at BeautyBay.com for €11.30 along with all the other products from this brand, so if you’re more into a pencilled brow they have the ‘brow wiz’ for that. This brand is amazing for all things brow so be sure to check it out!

Anastasia Beverly Hills Angled Brush: I use an angled brush to apply my brow cream as I find it really gets that defined brow look. Obviously you can use any branded angled brush, but I really like the size and quality of the Anastasia Beverly Hills one. Blank Canvas do a fab double ended one with a brow brush on the other end.

NYX Wonder Pencil: I use this pencil in the shade light just under my brows to clean them up a little and really define them as well as highlight my brow bone. The pencil is a really creamy texture so it’s easily blended out.

So everyone, that’s what I do to get ‘The Perfect Brows’. Head over to my Facebook page ‘Bexblah Beauty’ to stay updated with everything including competitions! And leave any suggestions you may have there. I’m also on Instagram @bexblah and twitter @bexblah.

CRYOSURGERY is now available in our Clinic!

What conditions can be treated with Cryosurgery?

If you suffer from • Sun damaged skin • Moles, Warts or Skin tags • Early skin cancers (Bowens disease etc )

Medical & Dental Clinic

Then Cryosurgery could be for you..

WHATS INVOLVED IN THE PROCEDURE ?

Cryosurgery is normally done during the course of a routine out-patient consultation with our dermatologist.

It normally does not require a local anaesthetic and procedures are generally over in a matter of seconds.

After Cryosurgery has been completed, then eventually the frozen tissue thaws and it is then absorbed by the body naturally.

Depending on the nature of the lesion, more than one treatment may be necessary, and this is usually repeated at regular intervals.

AND ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS? One of the key benefits of Cryosurgery is that it is far less invasive than other forms of treatment as well as producing far fewer side effects. It’s also a far less expensive treatment to administer. Our dermatologist will discuss this further with you.

Bexblah Fitness!

HELLO MY STRONG STRONG FRIENDS, I HOPE YOU’RE ALL HAVING A GREAT WEEK! THIS WEEK I’M TALKING ALL ABOUT THE WEIGHING SCALES AND WEIGHING YOURSELF.

I’ve recently started weighing myself everyday, not because I’m focusing 100% on the number on the scale, but because I find personally it helps me stay on track instead of just avoiding weighing myself. But I don’t just focus on the scales, I take progress pics and measure myself too!

Regardless of your specific goal, one of the easiest and most common ways of tracking your progress is by weighing yourself regularly.

THE IMPORTANCE OF WEIGHING YOURSELF • It shows if things are working. Fat and muscle both weigh something, which means that losing fat will typically cause a decrease in body weight and building muscle will typically cause an increase in body weight. So what’s the best reason to weigh yourself regularly? To ensure that what you’re doing is actually working. Meaning, if your weight isn’t moving in the right direction for your goal, it’s a pretty good sign that your current diet/workout isn’t working and needs to be adjusted somehow.

• It shows if things are working at the ideal rate they should be. In addition to just knowing if your body weight is moving in the right direction for your goal, there’s also the issue of whether your body weight is moving at the ideal rate for your goal. You see, depending on your exact goal and a few other factors specific to you and your body, there is a certain rate of weight loss and weight gain that is considered optimal. So what’s the second best reason to weigh yourself regularly? To ensure that your body weight is changing at the speed it should be (not too slow, not too fast).

THE PROBLEMS WITH WEIGHING YOURSELF • “Weight” is more than just fat or muscle. There would be no downside to weighing yourself if the weight you lose and gain was guaranteed to always be either fat or muscle. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case. Your body weight can and very often does change as a result of a loss or gain in muscle, fat, water, glycogen, poop, food intake and more. That means daily fluctuations in body weight (plus extra monthly fluctuations for women) are extremely common and normal.

• “Weight” alone tells us nothing about the composition of that weight. The number on the scale only allows you to track your weight… not the composition of that weight. And since most of us want to lose fat (but not muscle) and gain muscle (but not fat), the composition of the weight we lose or gain is often more important than anything else. That’s why most people should do more than just weigh themselves to monitor progress. For example… use measurements, body fat percentage, pictures, mirror and so on.

• Normal daily fluctuations in weight can drive a person crazy. Some people just aren’t aware of the fact that it’s normal for their body weight to fluctuate, and this can easily cloud that person’s judgement about the effectiveness of their diet/workout and generally drive them insane.

WHAT DOES ALL OF THIS MEAN? It means that you should weigh yourself regularly because it’s a useful tool for tracking progress, but at the same time realize that the numbers you are seeing aren’t always an accurate representation of what your body is doing.

WEIGHING YOURSELF EVERY DAY Most people think weighing yourself every day is the LEAST accurate way because of those normal daily weight fluctuations I mentioned before. In a way, this is true. But, if you make one small change to the way you do it, you’ll see that daily weigh-ins are actually the MOST accurate way to do it.

Let me explain…

• If you weigh yourself every day and make decisions based on these day-to-day changes, then you’re being a complete dumbass.

Because of all of that daily weight fluctuation stuff I keep talking about, this would be the worst way to do it.

• HOWEVER, if you weigh yourself every day and then take the AVERAGE at the end of the week (and base your decisions on THAT weekly number)… then you’ll have the most accurate figure you could possibly get. Doing it this way actually serves to eliminate the potential of daily weight fluctuations throwing things off.

WEIGHING YOURSELF ONCE A WEEK In terms of accuracy, weighing yourself once per week isn’t perfect. It’s certainly not useless… but it’s just not as good as weighing yourself every day and taking the weekly average.

However, despite not being as accurate as possible, once per week might still be the right option for certain people. Which people? The ones who will go a bit crazy watching the day-to-day changes in weight that would come with daily weigh-ins.

So how often should you weigh yourself? As usual, the true best answer is that it depends on you and the type of person you are.

HEALTHY RECIPES for 2016

A Big Roast on Easter Sunday!

Easter is upon us and the Sunday of Easter is always a big family day. So a big roast is needed and either ham or pork is a tradition at Easter .

So here are two glazed ham dishes that are sure to be winners .

You can send your food questions to me at askchefnoel@Hotmail.com and I am also on twitter @chefnoelk

HONEY-WHISKEY-GLAZED HAM

The sweet, sticky glaze on this juicy ham is subtly spiced with fennel, coriander and star anise

SMOKY GLAZED HAM with Red Pepper Jelly

INGREDIENTS INGREDIENTS • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

One 8-pound, bone-in whole or spiral-cut smoked ham, at room temperature 1 cup sugar 1 tablespoon fennel seeds 1 tablespoon coriander seeds 4 star anise pods 4 bay leaves 2 cinnamon sticks 2 garlic cloves One 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, thinly sliced 1 dried red chilli 1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest 2 cups whiskey 2 tablespoons soy sauce 2 tablespoons honey

2.

3.

Preheat the oven to 160°. Place the ham in a large roasting pan and add 1 cup of water. Cover the pan with foil and bake the ham for about 2 hours and 45 minutes, basting occasionally with any accumulated juices, until an thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 64°.

Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine the sugar with 2 tablespoons of water and cook over moderately high heat, swirling the pan occasionally, until a lightly golden caramel forms, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and quickly add the fennel seeds, coriander seeds, star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon, garlic, ginger, chilli and orange zest; let sit for about 20 seconds, until fragrant. Carefully add the whiskey, soy sauce and honey. Return the glaze to a simmer and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.

Remove the foil and brush the ham with the glaze. Roast for 30 minutes longer, glazing every 10 minutes, until the top is lightly caramelized.

Transfer the ham to a platter and let rest for 15 minutes. Skim the fat from the pan juices and transfer them to a bowl. Serve the ham with the pan juices

3 cups chicken stock 3 cups water 2 cups cola, 1 1/2 cups Pinot Noir or other dry red wine 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup dark honey 1/4 cup red wine vinegar 1/2 sweet onion, thinly sliced 1/2 cup thinly sliced fresh ginger (2 ounces) 1 carrot, thinly sliced 5 small dried red chilli 1 1/2 teaspoons coriander seeds, crushed 1 1/2 teaspoons fennel seeds, crushed 1 1/2 teaspoons black peppercorns, crushed One 8-pound, bone-in smoked ham Hartys Red Pepper Jelly, for serving

METHOD 1.

METHOD 1.

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

2.

In a large saucepan, bring the stock, water, cola, wine, sugar, honey, vinegar, onion, ginger, carrot and chilli to a boil. Simmer over moderately high heat for 20 minutes.

Add the coriander and fennel seeds and peppercorns and simmer until reduced to 4 1/2 cups, 15 to 20 minutes longer. Strain the sauce through a fine sieve into a heatproof bowl.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180°. Set the ham skin side up in a 12-by-15-inch roasting pan and pour half of the sauce on top. Roast the ham for 1 hour, basting with the sauce in the pan every 15 minutes. Pour the remaining sauce over the ham and roast for about 1 hour and 30 minutes longer, basting the ham every 15 minutes, until glazed . Transfer the ham to a carving board and let rest for 15 minutes.

Discard the skin from the ham before slicing. Serve the ham with hartys Red Pepper Jelly.

LAUGHTER ....THE BEST MEDICINE !

FINANCIAL PLANNING

Dan was a single guy living at home with his father and working in the family business.

When he found out he was going to inherit a fortune when his sickly father died, he decided he needed a wife with which to share his fortune.

One evening at an investment meeting, he spotted the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her natural beauty took his breath away.

“I may look like just an ordinary man,” he said to her, but in just a few years, my father will die, and I’ll inherit $200 million.” Impressed, the woman obtained his business card and three days later, she became his stepmother.

Women are so much better at financial planning than men.

MOBY DICK

I was sitting in a bar one day and two really large women came in, talking in an interesting accent.

So I said, “Cool accent, are you two ladies from Ireland?”

One of them snarled at me, “It’s Wales dumbo!”

So I corrected myself, “Oh, right, so are you two whales from Ireland?”

A MAN IS HOLIDAYING IN JERUSALEM

The man asks for her body to be flew back to their home state to be buried there, but he finds out that it will cost $5000. He is given an offer to bury her right there in Jerusalem for only $150.

The man thinks about it for a while, but eventually says he will pay the $5000 to ship her back home. A local walks up and is amazed, saying that he must have loved his stepmother very much.

The man glances around and whispers to the local, “No, not really, it’s just that I heard of a case where someone was buried here and they rose three days later, and I don’t want to deal with that.”

Doctor: You’re obese. Patient: Whoa, for that I definitely want a second opinion. Doctor: You’re quite ugly, too.

Doctor, how can I live longer than 100 years?

Do you smoke? No. Do you eat too much? No. Do you go to bed late? No. Do you have affairs with promiscuous women? No. Then why would you want to live more than 100 years?

A MAN AND TWO WOMEN DIE AND GO TO HEAVEN

They reach the pearly gates, where St. Peter greets them and has them sign some legal papers. They are confused, but sign anyway, eager to get to paradise.

As they finish, St. Peter points to the last paragraph of the papers, saying, “Pay special attention to that provision. Do NOT step on a duck.”

The three are confused, and think it’s just a joke so they smile and nod. The gates are opened and they enter heaven, realizing heaven is just FILLED with ducks. They’re everywhere, shoulder to shoulder, hardly even any room for milling about.

Within minutes, the man steps on a duck. It quacks, and all the other ducks around it quack, and soon all the ducks in heaven are quacking. God hates the cacophony. St. Peter appears and, without a word, chains the ugliest woman in the world to him for all of eternity.

About an hour later, one of the women steps on a duck. St. Peter appears and, without a word, chains the ugliest man in the world to her for all of eternity.

The second woman, however, is very careful. She shuffles her feet around, carefully avoiding stepping on any ducks at all! About a week goes by when St. Peter appears and, without a word, chains the most beautiful man in the world to her for all of eternity, then disappears.

“Wow!” exclaims the woman, “I don’t know what I did to deserve this!”

The man glances at her and says, “I dunno, but I stepped on a duck!”

BIDDING REACHES OVER €4M ON SWEENEY’S MUSIC VENUE NEAR CENTRAL BANK

A popular live music venue with bars and a small hotel close to the Central Bank on Dublin’s Dame Street has attracted bids of over €4 million since it went for sale through agent CBRE. Sweeney’s first opened for business in 2008 and has proven a popular attraction for locals as well as tourists because of its proximity to Trinity College, Dublin Castle and the Guinness Storehouse.

CBRE initially invited offers over €3.5 million for the six-storey over basement building with bars at basement, ground and first floor levels and a fully fitted catering kitchen and stores on the second floor.

There are 15 ensuite bedrooms on the top three floors.

MAYFAIR RESTAURANTS HOPE TO CASH IN ON SOARING WEST END RENTS

Signs are on that London property is nearing its peak when Mayfair’s most famous restaurants are looking to cash in on soaring rents in the city’s most expensive enclave.

This week the Financial Times reported that three restaurants – including two with two Michelin stars – are quietly looking to sell their leases. The Square, a two-Michelin star restaurant, has been sounding out buyers and looking at moving out of the area after 25 years.

Meanwhile, Hibiscus, another two-Michelin star restaurant, is also seeking buyers, while Princess Garden, a Chinese restaurant in the area since 1983, is reported to have marketed its lease for £2 million.

The culinary rush to vacate the area may have been prompted by the arrival last year of two multimillion-pound destinations: Sexy Fish and Park Chinois, which prompted restaurant rents and premiums to soar.

Caprice Holdings is reported to have spent more than £15 million transforming an old NatWest Bank on Berkeley Square into Sexy Fish while Alan Yau spent “tens of millions” decorating Park Chinois. Other restaurants that have left the area include Brasserie Chavot and Pescatori, which closed last week after more than 40 years on Dover Street.

PYLONS HAVE “NO SIGNIFICANT EFFECT” ON PROPERTY PRICES

Pylons built near homes have little or no effect on property prices, a new study has claimed.

The research, which was commissioned by infrastructure company Eirgrid, found that the presence of pylons or overhead electricity lines had “no significant impact” on the sale prices of residential and farm properties around the country. The report contradicts opponents of pylons who have long criticised the presence of them and power lines built close to homes.

The report, which focused only on what effect pylons may have on property prices and no other potential ramifications, found that the fear about pylons hurting property prices was incorrect.

The “perception of potential decreases in sales value as a result of high-voltage overhead lines close to property far outweighs the reality borne out in actual sales data,” it said “Internationally, approximately half of the available studies on the issue found no impact on property values; the remaining 50pc were generally low, in the region of 3pc to 6pc,” it said.

The report, which was compiled by Insight Statistical Consulting and Corr Commercial Land, looked at published international research, sales data for residential and farm property properties in Ireland, and a survey of the views of 45 Irish estate agents.

Even though the statistics showing almost no change to house sale prices when pylons were near by, estate agents made clear they felt that wires and other infrastructure projects would hurt sale prices, despite little evidence of that being the case.

“In the estate agent survey we looked at nine types of types of infrastructure projects, and the agents expressed a view that there would be a negative impact on property value located close to any major infrastructural development,” said Professor Walsh ,who is chair of statistics and director of the Centre for Health Decision Science at University of Limerick “However, when we reviewed the sales data from the same estate agents of property and land situated close to transmission lines, it did not support this anecdotal view,” he said.

Pylons have long been among the most controversial of infrastructure projects in Ireland, particularly in rural parts of the country where there has been fierce opposition.

TORQUING CARS! FORD MARQUE, THE TOP SEARCH IN KERRY Research reveals 36% of people in Kerry bought a car in 2015 • • • •

Ford is the most searched for car marque in Kerry The Ford Focus is the most searched for car model in Kerry Black is the most popular car colour in Kerry 31% of motorists in Kerry said they are not satisfied with their current insurance premium.

Introduction Carzone.ie has today released the sixth edition of the Carzone.ie Motoring Report which reveals that 36% of people in Kerry bought a car in 2015, compared to the national average of 42.5%. The reports also shows that a Ford Focus was the most searched for car by people living in Kerry. The bi-annual index studies trends in the Irish motoring market by analysing data from the 111 million searches carried out on Carzone.ie in 2015, as well as in depth survey of 1,700 Irish motorists nationwide. In terms of what Kerry motorists were searching for specifically, Ford topped the polls for most popular car marque. Ford was closely followed

by Volkswagen in second and Toyota in third. When it comes to the most popular model of car, the Ford Focus tops the poll (compared to the national number one, the Volkswagen Golf.) The colour black remains extremely popular amongst Kerry motorists accounting for some 35% of colour searches. Fuel type is still a critical part of the buying process for Kerry motorists. On a national level, the Carzone.ie Motoring Report shows that 78% of searches in 2015 were for diesel cars while only 17% of searches on Carzone.ie were for petrol models. The Carzone.ie Motoring Report reveals that the top financial concerns for Irish motorists are fuel costs, road tax and the cost of insurance. In Kerry, this is interestingly different with an emphasis on road tax, followed by insurance and then fuel. The research from Carzone.ie also shows that 31% of people in Kerry are either unsure, or have no knowledge of current tax bands. On the topic of insurance, 54% of Irish motorists felt insurance costs would be the biggest obstacle in affording a car in the next 12 months. Meanwhile 31% of motorists in Kerry said they are not satisfied with their current insurance premium. Research also pointed towards a lack of knowledge of car financing, with 51% of Kerry motorists not fully aware of car finance options available to them when buying a car.

7 REASONS TO BUY A JAGUAR XE

THE Big Cat carmaker is taking on the might of BMW, Audi and Mercedes-Benz with its first compact executive car. But is its roar loud enough?

1. It’s a Jag. For many buyers, this is reason enough to sign on the dotted line 2. It handles like a Jag. The Midlands-based carmaker has, for decades, built a reputation for cars that are a pleasure to drive 3. It looks like a Jag. 4. It feels like a Jag inside. The interior is also reminiscent of the Big Cat’s cars of old: it’s classy and leather-lined, 5. There’s Jag-style comfort, too. The seats are supportive and comfortable with lots of adjustment 6. It rides like a Jag (and even better than some). The comfort theme is extended to the ride quality, which has just the right level of pliancy and doesn’t sacrifice comfort 7. It has Jag engines. Jaguar Land Rover has recently invested £500m in a brand new manufacturing plant for its new Ingenium engines, which have been designed and engineered to be lightweight and efficient

FAI NATIONAl P.R.O. OF THE YEAR BRYAN COOPER THE TOAST OF TRALEE: Looking a social media it looks like the whole of Tralee backed Bryan Cooper in the Gold Cup. It was a wonderful sight for all Kerry sports fans to see him winning the Blue Ribbon of National Hunt racing and doing it in such style.

Bryan has packed a lot into his short career and it is easy to forget he is still only 23. The son of Tom and Geraldine has also experienced the down side of sport with a serious leg injury but thankfully is now back to the top of his game. Bryan worked with his father, Dessie Hughes and Kevin Prendergast and it was at Cheltenham 2013 where he rode 3 winners that put him amongst the top jockeys.

He took over as retained jockey for Michael O’Leary’s Gigginstown House Stud in January 2014 and now just over 2 years later he has a Gold Cup win on Don Cossack on his CV. His father Tom said it was great for the family, the town of Tralee and all of Kerry and his is right. And I am sure those hundreds who backed him in Tralee and in Kerry will agree – but I am not sure about the bookies!! And with Fairyhouse next week I am sure we will be seeing lots more of Bryan Cooper passing the winning post in front.

KERRY HURLERS LET DOWN BY THE SYSTEM: Firstly I know the argument that it was all agreed beforehand and that the system is the system but in truth the Kerry hurlers have been let down by the powers that be. What they have achieved in their first year in Division 1B has been huge for the game and the players and management deserve great credit. They came within a few minutes of making the quarter finals and I understand as they were celebrating their win over Offaly they were told that they had made the Last 8. That would have set up a game against the master Kilkenny. But with Wexford late win it is Offaly who now face the Cats and Kerry must face Laois in the Division 1B play-off. The loser plays against the winners of the Division 2A final which Carlow and Westmeath contest.

However the crazy part is that Kerry ended the League on 4 points and Laois didn’t pick up any.

It is vital for counties like Kerry to play at the highest possible level and Kerry have worked hard to get up to Division 1 B where they faced some of the big counties. Getting 4 points and not finishing bottom should see them safe. It should be the team that finished bottom goes into the relegation play-off. The unthinkable can happen where Laois beat Kerry and stay up on 0 points while Kerry could go down on 4.

It is the same as having League finals (and of course I know that the GAA is not the only place where League finals are held!). Of course it is done for the reason of having more big gates.

But it does leave situations at the top the team with the most points might not win the final and therefore lose the League while at the bottom a

36

TRALEE ADVERTISER

team with more points than one below them can go down.

But of course for the Kerry hurlers let’s hope it does not come to that. They go into their games against Laois on Saturday April 2nd high on confidence. It is over 50 years since a Kerry hurling side beat Offaly and to do this in the spiritual home of Offaly hurling in Birr was a great achievement.

Now hopefully a huge crowd comes to Austin Stack Park for the 5pm throw in and Kerry can enjoy a second season at this high level and who knows maybe next season the scoring Gods smile on Kerry and they do reach the quarter final.

EGAN’S PLAYER OF THE WEEK: If you think a Kerry hurler can’t beat a Kilkenny or Clare player then think again. John Egan, St Brendan’s Ardfert beat off the Cat’s TJ Reidy and Conor McGrath to win the GAA.ie Hurling Player of the Week with 35% of the poll.

CATHAL’S STILL FASTEST UP THE HILL: The Annual St Patrick’s Day Tralee Cycling Club hosted Lee Strand Hill Climb saw Cathal Moynihan retain his title. The former Olympic rower now stars with Tralee Manor West iBike and held onto the Billy Nolan Cup for the second year in a row in a time of 11.51.

The climb is from the roundabout on the Tralee / Milltown Road to the crest of the hill saw Killarney’s Conor Kissane take the runner up spot from and Manor West iBike rider George Doyle.

In the u12 section Kingdom CC took the second and third spots with Adam Lenihan and Zac Boyle respectively but the winner was Killarney CC’s Shane Galvin. Sean Barrett (Manor West iBike) was the fastest u14 up the hill in the u14’s followed by Killarney CC’s Ethan Slattery and Kingdom’s Ciaran Commane in third. It was an all Tralee Manor West iBike top three in u16’s with Kieran Coggins winning from Patrick White and Robbie Scott.

Currow CC’s Suzanne O’Sullivan took the Ladies climb in 16.16.90 followed by Tralee’s Ciara Tierney. Martina Eager from Killarney CC was the only u10 rider and she completed the climb in 31.42 on a mountain bike.

TRALEE RIDERS STAR ACROSS THE BORDER: Tralee Manor West iBike’s Cathal Moynihan got the perfect preparation for Ras Mumhan with a win in the Derry Crowley Memorial Race in Blarney. Moda Kingdom Endurance had a good day with John Brosnan in 3rd, Eddie Barry in 5th, Owen Cummins 7th and Roy Madden taking 8th. Killorglin CC’s Michael O’Shea was the 1st unplaced A2 rider.

In the Ray Looney Memorial Masters Race Tralee Manor West iBikes Gerry McCarthy in 2nd followed by Mark Prendeville in 3rd.

Ross Culloty (Manor West iBike) had his first big win when he took the Kay Stratton Memorial A4 Race.

TRALEE TEAM’S READY FOR RAS: The 4 Day Kerry Group International Ras Mumhan will see one of the biggest fields in its history take part over the four days of Easter Weekend. The Ras follows the regular route

starting in Killorglin at 3pm on Good Friday for a stage round East Kerry. Saturday’s action move to Kenmare and West Cork with the action down in South Kerry on Sunday before the traditional finishing stage in Killorglin early on Monday.

There is plenty for Tralee cycling fans to follow for the weekend with Sean Leacy heading up Aqua Blue. Team Moda Kingdom Enduarance have John Brosnan, Eddie Barry and Denis Dunworth in their squad.

Team Manor West iBike has the aforementioned Cathal Moynihan in their squad and he will be amongst the favourites in the Ras. ACTION ON THE OCHE BEFORE THE EASTER BREAK: With this Friday being Good Friday the Tuborg Darts League will obviously be taking a break before returning on April 1st. In the Group games before the break The Huddle A defeated McElligots Bar 5-2 while O’Connors Bar just saw off New Kingdom Bar 4-3. The Railway Bar were the winners on Group B defeating The Complex 5-2. In Group C Boland’s Bar were 4-3 winners over Dew Drop while Parker’s B defeated the Huddle C 5-2.

The 1st gun will be at 3pm on Saturday and at 11am on Sunday. There are lots of prizes to be sailed for including the Dr Denis Buckley Memorial Trophy. The Tralee Bay Sailing Club will be a busy spot for the weekend with food and entertainment on offer.

PITCH AND PUTT SEASON TEE’S OFF: On Sunday March 20th the Newmarket Pitch & Putt Club hosted the Paul O’Sullivan Memorial Kerry 3-Ball Scramble. The hole-in-one winners (both on the same hole) were Deerpark’s Paul Cronin and Castleisland’s John McCarthy.

The second nett winning team consisted of Deerpark duo Gearoid Cronin and Kieran fitzpatrick along with Newmarket’s W.J. Buckley.

The gross prize was won by a team headed up

by County Chairman Deerpark’s Damien Fleming with club mate Robbie O’Brien and Newmarket’s Con Buckley who had a brilliant twenty-six under total.

ALL STAR FOR RHEANNE: Team Garvey’s Tralee Rheanne O’Shea was rewarded for her excellent season by winning an All Star for the Women’s Division 1. Rheanne was the outstanding player for the squad who had and up and down year with the loss of coach Mark Bernsen during the season.

North Kerry’s Aine McKenna had a great week as she captained Team Montenotte Hotel to the League title – a record 7th win in the top Division.

NO LUCK FOR TRALEE BOXERS: Kerry boxing clubs enjoyed a good weekend at the Munster Championships held in Limerick.

Kerry fighters won 6 Munster titles with the Cashenvale BC taking 3, Trojan BC winning 2 and 1 Munster title was won by Sliabh Luachra.

The Tralee Boxing Club had a number of boxers in action in the Southside Club but sadly the results just went against them.

On Sunday Jonathan McCarthy lost out in the final of the Boy 3 36kg and Patrick McCarthy went down in his Boy 3 44kg final.

Kerry GAA star Darran O’Sullivan beat off a host of GAA stars, radio stars and local politicians to win €2,000 for his charity The Irish Heart Foundation. The runners-up were Colm ‘Gooch’ Cooper in second place, Damien Ryall in third place and Ivan Parker in fourth place who all received €200 for their chosen charity.

Principal Ms Anne O’Callaghan stated “The ‘KUBE’ was a great success and the event will bring us another step closer to constructing an All-weather Pitch on our school grounds.

CAMOGIE NEWS: The Kerry camogie team’s good start to the season came to an end with a 2-09 to 0-06 point home defeat to Armagh. The game was at John Mitchels and the visitors started much the quicker and were ahead from early on. By half time Armagh led 2-05 to 0-04 and the second half didn’t get any better for the Kingdom. In the Limerick League Round 3 it finished Cillard 5-09 to 1.1.

Check out the clubs Facebook page for all the photos.
