LEGAL MATTERS CORNER MIRIAM MC GILLICUDDY ANSWERS YOUR LEGAL QUERIES Eamonn’s short-lived marriage has come to an end as he and his wife could not live together and the marriage only last 6 months. He is wondering what are his options to sort out their property and finances.

They have no children. He owns the family home and has inherited property.

In a situation where a married couple are separating there are a number of options. But initially Eamonn would have to look at whether in fact he has grounds to apply for a nullity rather than a divorce as it was such a short-lived marriage. If he has to wait for a divorce he has to wait three years effectively. Nullity could be looked at as an immediate option but the grounds are very strict. Firstly both parties cannot agree a nullity one party takes the case and the other either contests it or does nothing but the court will not grant a nullity where they believe both parties are colluding to get a nullity. There are two types of nullity.

1. Where the marriage is void from day one on e.g. lack of legal formalities or incapacity on the part of one or both of the parties to enter the marriage e.g. under 18 or within the list of relationships that cannot marry. Other grounds for a void marriage would be lack of a Valid Consent to the marriage due to Duress ( being forced into the marriage) , Mistake ( as to who or what you were marrying), Mental Incapacity, Absence of adequate knowledge of “circumstance of substance”. E.g. thinking you were marrying one person

and it turned out to be someone different.The parties to the marriage or a third party e.g. family member due to inherit without the marriage could apply to have the marriage declared void.

2. Voidable - This relates to something that arose after the marriage that renders it voidable e.g. Impotence (nonconsummation of the marriage.). Lack of Capacity to enter into and sustain a normal life-long functional marital relationship. Mental Illness, Sexual Orientation ( i.e. not sexually attracted to the sex of one’s spouse) . Emotional Immaturity.

It must be stressed that marriage is a contract and nullity is a relief whereby one is applying to nullify the contract so strong grounds need to be shown to a court often requiring psychiatric and other strong evidence before a judge will grant a nullity.

The big advantage to this type of application is that it is as if the marriage never existed and may allow someone to move on more quickly and also mean that a nullified spouse has limited if no legal rights to property. State nullity is separate to a church annulment which can be obtained through the roman catholic institutions. The church annulment is required if one wants to get married again in the Roman Catholic church. Pope Francis made these church annulments free of charge and introduced reforms to speed up the process of church annulment.

‘Curtain Call’.... ’Unputdownable and Heartwarming‘ Chris Shortt from The Tralee Advertiser caught up with Mark Leen this week , author of Tralee’s favourite son D.J. Curtain’s new official biography.

Well, it must undoubtedly be the most talked-about book “not to hit our bookstores.”

D.J. Curtin’s new tell-all official biography ‘Curtain Call ‘ is a warts and all book that is going down a storm among readers that have already gotten their hands on a copy from its author Mark Leen. We caught up with Mark earlier this week and began by asking, why isn’t the book in book shops?

am

for over 40 years again. We read about the highs and lows of showbusiness, the success of The Kerry Blues and how close they came to breaking the U.K. Charts, the deaths of family members and so on. The stars he met were unbelievable; he could count many celebs among his friends but is too humble to admit it.

C; What would be his favourite Irish moment and his favourite American moment?

M; Irish one? Has to be getting to Number 1 with ‘Almost Persuaded’ or singing the Rose of Tralee live on T.V. before millions with Gaybo. He did it a few times. U.S. moment ?I’d say when he got the freedom of the city in Beaute Montana or maybe being voted ‘Best Act’ on the Las Vegas strip three years running. I mean obviously, the birth of his children tops everything, I’m just talking professional now.

sing azing M; well, Chris this is a limited, numbered edition testimonial of D.J’s life story, and we are running 1000 copies. Book stores typically take 55% of the counter price on books as commission, and that would leave it an exercise in vanity.

So I decided I would get a special edition C.D. to go with the book and give that to people also and bypass the middleman.

C; Tell us what to expect from ‘Curtin Call’.

M; It begins in around 1955 when a young Billy Curtin takes up the Clarinet and it finishes up with Brendan Bowyer’s death a few weeks ago. We read about D.J’s last visit to Brendan at his home and waving him off to go to mass with his wife, Stella. He never saw his singing partner

C; You both sold out the Brandon last November, will he ever return?

M: No. C; So this is it? More or less the last we could hear from him?

ry little moments er care journey hildren just how ng Would they You are.Consider Fostering?

M; Well this is a fantastic testimonial Chris, it is worth the getting for your readers. It will make a great stocking filler at Christmas, and there won’t be any left by then I’d say, not

at the rate they are leaving my house.

You can find me on Facebook also.

C; So how can people get them and what do they cost?

C; Well we wish you and D.J. every success with it, Mark. It must be good as there have been lots of lively commentary on social media and The Kerry’s Eye ran a very positive review of the book in yesterdays edition calling it ‘Unputdownable and Heartwarming.’

Thanks, Mark.

M; €20 each, text me on 0861935277, and I can meet up with you in Tralee around The Brogue or post it if you prefer not to come out, postage is only €3.50. You get the book which is signed by D.J. himself and numbered, and then there is a free C.D. inside titled ‘The Lost Singles’ and features nine newly released songs never released before on disc.

M; Thank you Chris and thanks to Collette also.

The fostering team in Kerry work in collaboration with foster carers to provide a safe stable and secure home for children who for a variety of reasons cannot live with their families.

There is a continuing and consistent need for foster carers who can provide such a home for children in our care for both short term and long term. We welcome the opportunity to discuss with those who feel they can offer stability and security to children in Kerry through a difficult period in their lives from all communities . We would encourage anyone considering fostering to contact 0667184500

IT Tralee secure nearly €9 million in Funding Institute of Technology Tralee has welcomed the recent announcement by the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, Simon Harris, T.D. that it has been successful in its application for Reimagining Engineering Education in Ireland (REEdI) under the Human Capital Initiative Pillar 3, Innovation and Agility.

REEdI - Rethinking Engineering Education in Ireland (REEdI) will transform the way we deliver undergraduate engineering education in Ireland. The project is truly innovative, drawing on international best practice in the field of engineering

education which will enable a student centred, project centric and technologically innovative approach to course provision, equipping graduates with the skills and knowledge required to ensure they are capable of navigating the future challenges and disruptive technologies faced by the manufacturing sector in Ireland.

Head of School of STEM at IT Tralee Professor Joseph Walsh welcomed the announcement “REEdI will draw on the strong research links in manufacturing engineering research through the IMaR Research Centre and the SFI Confirm Smart Manufacturing and Lero Software Development Centres

to embed the technologies and learnings into undergraduate programmes. In addition, Master of Engineering placements will be facilitated through these cutting edge research centres, producing manufacturing engineering graduates of the highest international calibre. The REEdI approach is to be positively disruptive and transformative, with a vision to set the agenda for engineering education nationally.”

President of IT Tralee Dr Brendan O’Donnell said ”This project will place IT Tralee, soon to join with CIT to become Munster Technological University, at the forefront of international undergraduate

engineering education provision, making it the go to university for human capital to fill our manufacturing organizations engineering talent pipeline on a national and international stage.

Congratulations to Professor Walsh and his team on this achievement.

Car Rental Council Ireland seeks Kerry TDs help to reduce Motor Insurance!

Over the weekend, members of the Car Rental Council issued a joint letter to Kerry TDs calling for the urgent implementation of reform to drive down insurance costs in Ireland.

The letter, seeks immediate Government action to resolve the insurance crisis affecting households and businesses across the country. The letter is signed by the Managing Directors of Budget, Enterprise Holdings, Europcar, Hertz, Avis and Sixt; as well as Eoghan O’Mara Walsh, CEO of the Irish Tourism Industry Confederation.

Key Points •

Motor insurance premiums rose by 70% between

•

•

2013 and 2016, with approx. 50 - 65% of premium costs directly covering the costs of claims, according to the Cost of Insurance Working Group The prevalence of soft tissue claims in Ireland is a significant driver of rising costs, with PIAB estimating c.80% of all motor personal injury claims reported are whiplash related Whiplash awards in Irish courts are 4.4 times those awarded in England and Wales

The Judicial Council is due to publish its new award guidelines at the end of

this month. Meanwhile the Law Reform Commission has published its report, finding that the Oireachtas can constitutionally act to legislate to cap awards for soft

tissue injuries. If the Judicial Council does not deliver sufficient, swift reform of the Irish insurance sector, the Government should legislate as a matter of urgent priority to cap awards.

Minister Norma Foley Welcomes €10 million to support disability service users.

Minister for Education and Kerry TD Norma Foley this week welcomes the approval of grant funding totalling €10 million drawn down from the National Action Plan on COVID-19 to increase the level of day service provision and to provide intensive support packages for children and young people with complex/high support needs.€10m has been made available and is broken down into two categories: • €7.5m is being used to increase disability day services by one day a week for over 14,000 adults.

• €2.5m will provide an additional 210 intensive support packages to help children and young people with complex/high support needs remain living with their families.

The funding announced will be crucially important in supporting people with disabilities in the coming months. This investment will go some way to alleviate some of the pressures and stress on people with disabilities and their families.

AND NOW FOR THE GOOD NEWS... from The Tralee Advertiser Team and Tralee Chamber Alliance Good News in Ballyseedy

Lockdown really shone a light on our homes lately. Hunkering down for months highlighted how import a pleasing, ergonomically-dynamic living space is to our health and wellbeing. Nathan McDonnell, from Ballyseedy Home and Garden, agrees.

“People have a much greater appreciation for their home and gardens since the pandemic began,” he said.

Despite tricky trading conditions, the garden centre continues to feel the love from existing and new customers. “We invested in stunning indoor and outdoor plants and we’re seeing a lot of new faces through the doors” Nathan added.

The result? Ballyseedy Home and Garden Centre are currently advertising for a Retail Manager, Retail Assistants and Barista/ All Rounder. If interested, send a CV to jobs@ballyseedy.ie.

Meantime, for a goulash zap of Halloween magic, visit Samhain at Ballyseedy Home and Garden, in full swing now until Friday, November 6th. It’s enough to revive the most world-weary souls! They promise to transport visitors to a unique, autumnal atmosphere; a world of Halloween enchantment. Plus, the Café at Ballyseedy will be serving pumpkin-spiced lattes, pumpkin soup and pumpkin pie from October 23rd. Ballyseedy Home and Garden is open daily 9am to 6pm and Sundays and Bank Holidays 10am to 6pm.

HELLO MY BEAUTIFUL FRIENDS

I hope you’re all having a great week.

This week I will be talking about products that I have used up fully, because they were that good!

1

Laura Mercier Setting Powder

2

Jaclyn Hill X Becca Cosmetics Champagne Pop Highlighter

I have gone through about 3 of these and I am obsessed. I absolutely swear by it. I use it to set my under eye makeup and foundation.

hands down my favourite highlighter ever. It has a lovely golden highlight that looks perfect.

Since finishing this I have moved onto the Anastasia Beverly Hills X Amrezy Highlighter.

3

Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation

My ride or die, most used and most complimented foundation. I am 100% obsessed with this, medium build level coverage, so weightless and photographs beautifully.

4

Clarins Makeup Setting Spray

5

Alien Perfume Theirry Mugler

I got sent this and I’d say I have about two sprays left in it. It’s an amazing setting spray that also hydrates the skin. That and the Urban Decay All Nighter spray are both my favourites.

It’s not often I use up a full bottle of perfume but this stuff is literally my number 1 perfume. I love it and every time I wear it I get asked about it.

More Energy ~ Less Fatigue Remarkably about 1 in 4 people report that fatigue is a significant problem, but just because it is so common this does not mean that you need to accept it.

Fatigue can affect both your mind and body with symptoms including muscle fatigue, lack of motivation, low mood, brain fog, aches and pains and headaches. This often leads people to turn to unhealthy food, stimulants or alcohol to cope.

WHAT’S THE ISSUE? There may be many reasons why you are constantly tired. These include poor sleep, lack of exercise, excess weight, unhealthy eating, and chronic stress. In your body, poor cellular energy production may be an important part of the picture. It is important to seek your GP’s advice if you are concerned about your symptoms.

Dietary and lifestyle changes can make a big difference to your energy levels, a good balanced diet is essential and a number of nutritional supplements can help support you on your journey back to abundant energy.

Research has shown that when your cells are low on energy and you feel run down, taking nutrients such as MAGNESIUM or DR WOLZ once or twice a day may help restore cellular energy production and improve your energy levels. They may also improve your sleep patterns, mood, mental clarity and energy while reducing muscle pain and overall well-being.

CO-ENZYME Q10 has gained much popularity as a dietary supplement for fatigue. It is safe, natural and certainly worth trying, especially if you have severe fatigue.

Despite the common belief that “most people can get all the vitamins and minerals they need by eating a balanced, varied diet”, the reality is that suboptimal intakes of vitamins and minerals are very common, even in people who eat well. While healthy eating is of course very important,

TRALEE ADVERTISER

optimizing your nutritional intake with a good quality VITAMIN B COMPLEX or daily MULTIVITAMIN AND MINERAL formula has been shown to improve your health and well-being. B –VITAMINS in particular can help with mood and energy because they are vital for energy production in your body and are important for your brain.

I mentioned DR WOLZ product earlier in the article, this is an award winning German nutritional health supplement, with years of clinical proven success, it is a very effective supplement to help fight viral and bacterial infections, may help with chronic fatigue, anyone experiencing “burn out” and helps to strengthen your overall immune system. It contains everything the body needs and works at a cellular level enabling vital nutrients to be absorbed directly into your cells, LIFESTYLE CHANGES FOR ENERGY AND VITALITY: 1. Rest and Restore – Many people have jet lag every day, not because they got off a plane, but because they’re not getting enough sleep. Most people need 7 to 8 hours per night. You can improve your sleep pattern by setting and sticking to a regular bed time. Making time to chill out and relax and hour or two before bed. Completely black out your room, and remove electronic devices to enjoy a longer slumber.

2. Detox from Sugar – Contrary to what we hear, sugar does not give you energy, it robs you of it. It’s not just sweets; added sugars are everywhere, so keep your diet as natural as possible.

3. Regular Physical Exercise – Jump off the sofa and put on your walking shoes. Aim for at least a 30minute brisk walk most days

Until next time, stay healthy.

FITNESS!

Hello my strong friends Hope you’re having a great week.

This week I want to talk about something important.

I know every week I talk about how it’s great to be fit and healthy with regards to your physical body... And it is, in a perfect world. But this week I’m going to focus on another aspect of your health that it’s important to take care of, your mental health and being happy in yourself.

The next time you find yourself scrutinising something that you think is “wrong” with your body. Maybe focus on the person and soul inside your body, other than aesthetics. Being a size 6 or 16 doesn’t determine who you are as a person and how healthy you are.

Like everyone, I’m not happy 24/7. I have struggled with body issues, image issues and everything in between. I have finished school only to come out of two separate college courses, because I wasn’t happy in either of them. It took a lot to get to where I am now. Stay positive, a positive mindset always helps.

When you are stuck in something in life that makes you that unhappy, be it a job, living situation, college course, or relationship, it is always best to take a step back and put you and your mental health first. Because if you don’t, trust me, nobody else is going to do it for you.

Talk about it. It doesn’t matter to who, just let someone else know how you’re feeling. You never know they might have the perfect solution, or at least they might make you feel a bit better.

Exercise, even if it’s just going for a walk. It helps clear your head and overall you’ll feel better.

If you are upset about anything, don’t try hide it or play it down because of someone else’s opinions. It’s your life and if something is upsetting you, it’s ok to be upset. Once you know ways in which you can cheer yourself up again.

It’s your life, make a conscious decision to be the happiest, most positive person you can be.

For any of you out there feeling overwhelmed because you don’t know what to do with your life or you can’t pick a college course or you’re confused as to what to do by a situation, remember, no one has all the answers. Not even the most intelligent successful person you know. Everyone just takes it one day at a time.

So don’t feel anxious or pressured into doing anything if you feel it’s not for you.

Life is too short to have a miserable time because you’re ‘being good’ or ‘watching your calories’. It’s all about balance, you can count calories and ‘be good’ on a night in!

He has showing off his car, and waving to pedestrians. no idea what to do with them. After pondering Nearing the end of his day, he parks in a restaurant parking lot and gets out but suddenly the matter, he takes them to an appraiser.

Not too long later the appraiser calls him: “I’ve another car slides into the space next to him and rips the door clean off! The man, infuriated, finished my analysis, and I’ve got some good yells in anger and whips out his phone and dials news. There’s no doubt at all that what you 911.

The dispatcher replies, “sir, um, this kind of issue doesn’t deserve a 911 call—” you can sell them, and they’ll fetch some

You see, the truth is, Stradivarius wasn’t much of a painter... and Van Gogh made lousy violins.”

St John of God to Terminate Services Arrangement with HSE Saint John of God Community Services has recently announced with deep regret it has served a notice of termination of its Service Arrangement with the Health Services Executive and its intention to transfer responsibility for the operation of its services directly to the HSE over the next 12 months. St John of God Community Services clg will cease its involvement in the provision of these services by 1 October 2021.

The formal letter of notice was sent to the Health Services Executive on Wednesday 30 September.

St John of God Community Services currently provides intellectual disability and mental health services to over 8,000 children, adolescents and adults and employs 3000 staff and volunteers in 300 locations across counties Dublin, Kildare, Kerry, Wicklow, Meath and Louth. Over 2,500 of those impacted are in receipt of day, residential and respite services for people with a disability. The Order of St John of God has been providing these services for almost a century.

The Chief Executive of St John of God Community Services, Clare Dempsey,

said they have been communicating over the past 2 days with the children and adults supported by the services, their families and staff members, retirees and volunteers to inform them of the very sad decision that had to be taken due to a protracted and unresolved systemic underfunding crisis that had undermined the organisation for over a decade. “ In separate letters to service users and their families and to staff members, volunteers and retirees, the Service said it would do everything in its power to manage the smooth transfer of service over the 12-month period and that its priority would be to ensure the least possible disruption in particular to its service users, their families and staff.

There will be no immediate changes in respect of the services as they are currently provided. An early urgent meeting has been sought with the HSE, to begin putting the appropriate transitional arrangements and plans in place for the next 12 months. Notice has also been served on the Health Information and Quality Authority.

The ‘10-minute’ town idea that could revolutionise Tralee The initiative aims to have all services accessible within a short walk or cycle from home A ‘10 Minute Town’ concept is being considered for Tralee after a report identified crucial areas for improvement in the town.A report commissioned by the Southern Regional Assembly focused on three key regional towns - Carlow, Ennis and Tralee to form part of an action plan to improve overall access for people living in these towns.The 10 Minute Town Concept seeks to have all community facilities and services accessible within a 10-minute walk or cycle from homes or are accessible by public transport services connecting people to larger scaled settlements. The report highlights the disconnect between developments in the towns and access to public services and amenities, which it says, “has led to poor connectivity between these residential areas

and community facilities”.

Ken Tobin, CE Tralee Chamber of Commerce, said improvements - like those identified in the report - are needed in Tralee.“Tralee has been earmarked for a 30% population increase and if we act now, develop a Strategic Growth Plan for the town and follow key recommendations in this report, we will meet these targets, be able to attract new jobs and make Tralee a more sustainable place to live,” he added.

It recommends specific changes to improve the use of bus, bicycle and walking access to the town.”In these times it’s vital that we give people as many options as possible to access the town; in particular it’s of concern to us that students attending IT Tralee don’t really have an option to cycle safely from the college campus to the town centre nor are there sufficient secure bicycle parking locations in the

town centre,” says Ken .The report also identifies some key measures that will ensure the Tralee-Fenit Greenway will provide “greater benefit” to the people who live in Tralee “As we move through the pandemic crisis it will be critical that investment and efforts are committed to increasing the public and sustainable transport offering for Tralee.“We would also

strongly support the trialling of a bike loan scheme for the growing, but geographically isolated, student population in Tralee.”The key objective is to map and identify infrastructural requirements to support making Tralee a 10-minute town within the region.

‘Where, In Kerry, Will Your Bike Take You?’... Take That Photo!

A new photography competition has been launched this week to celebrate and promote cycling in the Kingdom. Kerry Recreation & Sports Partnership and Kerry County Council are inviting people to take part in the ‘Where, in Kerry, will your bike take you?’ photography competition and are asking everyone to submit images of where they are travelling or visiting on their bikes around the county.

Recent months have seen a significant increase in interest and participation in cycling with many people discovering and rediscovering their localities and well-known

or lesser-known attractions and hidden gems around the county. This has been coupled with an increase in the profile of cycling as a healthy and fun mode of transport and physical activity. To coincide with National Bike Week, the competitions invites images under the following categories: ‘Family Cycles,’ and ‘Showcasing hidden gems in Kerry.’ Participants should be mindful of COVID-19 restrictions and adhere to all public health guidelines.

Entries should be emailed to: info@kerryrecreationandsports. ie before the closing date of 13 October 2020. Images can also be shared on

T RQU ING CARS ! business noticed in Tralee’s favourite Friday read Get your PREMIUM ADVERTISING 30 O KUGA GOES PLUG-IN ... FINALLY !

Ford’s new Kuga compact SUV has just gone on sale, costing from €33,357.The new car is 44mm wider, 89mm longer with a 20mm wheelbase increase. That means more shoulder, hip and headroom for all passengers even though the car is 6mm lower. And sliding second row seats mean you can get up to 645 litres boot space.The line-up includes a plug-in hybrid as well as a 1.5 litre diesel manual. The plug-in version combines a 2.5-litre petrol engine, electric motor and generator, and a 14.4 kWh lithium-ion battery (six hours to charge) to produce 225PS.They claim 56km (WLTP) on pure electric power, fuel consumption of 1.4 l/100km and 32g/km emissions.The 1.5-litre diesel (120 PS) manages from 5.1 l/100km (WLTP) and emissions 133 g/km.Trim levels include entry-level Titanium, ST-Line and Vignale. Titanium includes 17ins alloys (18ins for PHEV), keyless start/entry, 4.2ins instrument cluster, SYNC with DAB (6 speakers, navigation and intelligent speed assist).

MID RANGE ROVER, VELAR, GETS A MID-LIFE LIFT !

Range Rover’s sleek Velar SUV gets a mid-life new look, powertrains and even fewer design lines. They told us they smoothed all lines that were not “absolutely necessary”. The door handles, as we know, are flush with the body as part of the drive for smooth design.Inside is clean and uncluttered too but that doesn’t stall the arrival of new user interfaces. There is next-gen infotainment Pivi Pro - already highlighted here with other Land Rover/Range Rover models. They claim it greatly reduces distraction and is far more intuitive. The focus is on slicker working of nav, phone, media and lines of parking cameras (one shows you the vehicle’s underside).The Velar gets its first plug-in hybrid as well as some mild hybrids. The plug-in has an electric motor, 8spd auto, 2-litre 4cyl petrol engine with a combined 404PS and consumption of 2.2l/100km.The P400e has an all-electric range of 53km and CO2 of 49g/km. Power comes from the 300PS petrol engine and 105kW electric motor.

A 17.1kWh lithium-ion battery can be charged to 80pc in 30 minutes (fast DC charge point), or 1hr 40mins (standard 7kW wallbox).They have added and improved new off-road technologies with Intelligent Driveline Dynamics and much more. Air suspension is standard on 6cyls: coil springs with 4cyl versions.

The engine line-up, with 8spd auto and AWD, includes:2 litre and 3 litre diesels , 2 & 3 litre petrols with Mild and normal Hybrid (MHEV, PHEV)Indo Motoring

SAVE FIVE GRAND A YEAR DRIVING ?

Saving €5,000 a year on a vehicle is a core reason Mullingar-based security firm Key Guard recently bought 10 new electric Renault Zoe vans. If that was repeated around the country we wouldn’t be long making EVs the dominant force the Government wants them to be.The company, established in 2013 by Paul Ennis (pictured) and Ray Moore, employs 160 people at its HQ and patrol bases around the country. With its fleet vehicles each covering up to 150,000km a year, management reckoned that switching its patrol fleet to electric would mean €5,000 saved per vehicle.

They bought the vans from Tullamore Motors Renault.

So far, the company has bought 10 Zoe Commercials, two Zoe passenger cars and two Renault Kangoo ZE vans.

A new charging infrastructure at all its bases, and staff training, means they are investing a total of €450,000 in the switch.

The Zoe commercial has a claimed range of up to 395km and costs from €29,190 including Vat and after a €3,800 grant for business buyers. * THE latest Toyota Land Cruiser arrives next month. There’s a more powerful 2.8 litre 204hp diesel engine. Stop & Start technology is said to lower fuel consumption to 7.4l/100 km and emissions to 195g/km. There is also an upgraded multimedia system. Prices start from €45,160 with 2pc VAT reduction, and from €38,171 ex-VAT. (motoring indo )

EUROPEAN AUTOMAKERS URGE NEGOTIATORS TO SECURE BREXIT DEAL

Politicians on both sides of Brexit negotiations must “pull out all the stops” to secure an ambitious free trade deal, or risk accumulated losses that will run to €110bn (£101bn) by 2025.The call comes as the end of the transition period looms, with just 15 weeks left to secure a trade deal between the European Union and the UK, and punitive World Trade Organisation (WTO) terms applying if no agreement is reached by 31 December.WTO terms would apply a 10 per cent tariff on cars and up to 22 per cent on commercial vehicles, both paid by importers. Industry leaders warn that these costs would “almost certainly” be passed on to consumers. A total of 23 trade bodies from across EU countries, including the UK’s Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), and the continent-wide European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA), are urging ministers, civil servants and diplomats to pull together in negotiations, or risk “severe repercussions” to European automotive companies, in an industry that supports one in 15 jobs, and 14.6 million livelihoods, across the EU and UK.Mike Hawes, chief executive of the SMMT, warned the impact analysis paints “a bleak picture of the devastation that would follow a ‘no deal’ Brexit.”

Hawes said tariffs and trade barriers would “compound the damage already dealt by a global pandemic and recession, putting businesses and livelihoods at risk,” adding: “Our industries are deeply integrated so we urge all parties to recognise the needs of this vital provider of jobs and economic prosperity, and pull out every single stop to secure an ambitious free trade deal now, before it is too late.” Eric-Mark Huitema, director general of the ACEA, said the “stakes are high” for automakers, and that a No Deal Brexit, combined with Coronavirus impacts, would be a “double whammy” for an “already reeling” sector Friday 9th October 2020

DISAPPOINTING AFTER ALL THE HARD WORK DONE BY CLUBS: While it is understandable on one hand that the Government has moved the whole country to Level 3 of the Covid plan on the other hand it could be argued, and this is something that is supported by the WHO and other experts, lockdowns should be more targeted and counties who are doing well should not be included.

However this is not a political column so from a sporting point of view it is very disappointing from the clubs point of view that all the local games are cancelled. Clubs and venues in all sports have done a great job over the past few months with regards to hand sanitisation stations etc. And while there has been a small number of cases in clubs these were all handled under the various protocols and thankfully many of those tested came back negative.

I know people will point at what happened after finals around the country which have mostly been GAA but only because of the way their calendar worked out. Credit must be given to all the clubs in Kerry who won titles recently and there have been no issues with celebrations afterwards.

There was lots of coverage from Blackpool in Cork returning to their club after winning their County Hurling title for the first time in 18 years. And yes there were big crowds but it was all in the open air which we are continuously told is much safer than being inside. We all saw the few seconds on social media but I wonder how long the crowd were there or did they disperse once the team had walked past. Whatever was the story I don’t believe it is right to target these clubs as being the reason Covid numbers are up and we have moved to Phase 3.

However hopefully this three week break from all local action will have the desired affect and that the fact that training can continue, under protocols, will mean the loss of games won’t have any effect on the mental health of the players.

ELITE GAMES GOING AHEAD: It still looks like the final games in the GAA National Leagues and the Championships will go ahead but more likely now behind closed doors – which is the scenario than no one wanted.

Ahead of that from a soccer point of view the Elite games will continue – also behind closed doors. Kerry’s 4 teams in the Underage National Leagues are in Phase 2 action with the 15’s and 17’s in action this week.

The 15’s welcome Wexford to Mounthawk Park on Saturday and will then play Limerick at the same venue on Wednesday the 14th. On Saturday the 17th they go to Waterford and finish this Phase , where only the top team in each of the 4 Groups makes the semi-finals, away to Cobh Ramblers on Sunday May 25th.

Friday 9th October 2020

The 17’s will be looking to get carry their form from their their 4-0 win over Limerick into their away game with Carlow/Kilkenny at Derdimus Park on Saturday at 2pm. On Sunday week, October 18th they are at home to Limerick.

The 13’s and 19’s are free this weekend. The 13’s will begin their Shield Phase on Sunday 18th with a trip to Wexford. Waterford are the other team in their 3 team Group where again only the top team progresses.

The 19’s would love a game this weekend to follow on from their best performance of the season where they defeated Galway 3-1 to open Phase 2 of the League.

UCD beat Cobh Ramblers, who Kerry play next went down 2-1 away to UCD. If Kerry can win away at Cobh it could set up what in essence would be an National ¼ final when they travel to UCD with the top team in to the Last 4. Billy Dennehy guided the 17’s to two National finals last season so along with his assistant James Sugrue they have the experience and the squad to hopefully On the Girls front the Gaynor Competition is also an Elite competition so unless something changes from the time this is being written their 15’s Gaynor Bowl semifinal in Georgie O’Callaghan Park against the MGL side will go ahead.

The Gaynor finals are set for the last two weekends of October with the 13’s Girls already into their Bowl semi-final.

OTHER SPORTS ALSO AFFECTED: From an outdoor point of view rugby will be in the same position as soccer and football with games bar the elite fixtures being cancelled. This comes at the wrong time for the sport as its season has just gotten underway but in saying that if it only lasts for three weeks they will be able to make that up.

It will also be very disappointing for the ladies of the Kerry RFC team who enjoyed a great debut in the Energia Munster Community Series defeating Ballincolling 24-5. We are great sports fans in Kerry and while we will all support out clubs when someone pulls on the Green and Gold we will all support them and this will be the case with this team.

Kerry played with the strong wind in the first half and led 14-5 and then while up front were doing their job the defence was repelling anything the Cork side could throw at them.

All 22 players who were in action did very well with the scores coming from Laoise O’Driscoll who got a try and three penalties and Meabh McElligott who went over for two tries.

They were supposed to play UL Bohemians who have a number of Kerry players in their ranks in Listowel this Sunday but it remains to be seen if that will go ahead. UL Bohs were big winners over Shannon /LIT in their

first game and would be amongst the favourites in this competition.

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AT THE TRACK: Greyhound racing continues this weekend with racing on Saturday and Sunday night. On the first night there is a 12 race programme starting at 7.42pm featuring the final of the KGSCC A3 525 yards where there is a winner’s prize of e3500. On Sunday night there is a 10 race programme starting at 6.38pm.

WINTER SWIMMING SERIES GOES AHEAD WITH RESTRICTIONS: The Tralee Bay Swimming club have announced that their Winter Swimming Turkey Series will still go ahead but there cannot be a group swim as was normal from 11am on Sundays. Swimmers are asked to spread out and pick a time that suits them. The no wetsuits rule still applies.

In another change this year swimmers will not sign in but bring their names on a piece of paper and put this into the name bucket provided along with the e2 which gets you a ticket for the raffle for some lovely treats just in time for Christmas .

This week the Tralee Bay Swimming club presented the proceeds of the Across the Bay Challenge to the Fenit RNLI Lifeboats. And while numbers were restricted due to the Covid pandemic e1520 was raised. This is a great credit to the swimmers, those who volunteered to make sure everything went safely and to those who donated.

HANNAFIN DOWN TO SECOND IN PORSCHE CUP: Along with the Kerry Motor Sports News social media site we have been following the exploits of Lorcan Hanafin in the Porsche Carerra Cup GB. Lorcan has a number of relative in the Ballinorig area of Tralee. He has been in a season long battle with Mathew Graham who has taken the lead following the two races at Silverstone.

Hanafin was fourth in the first race with his rival fifth but in the second race Mathews took the second spot on the podium while Hanafin had to settle for 5th.

CLUB’S NEWS: Things could be different in the club notes from next week but we will deal with that from next week. However we will continue to provide a platform for all clubs to get their notes out to your members in our publication.

AUSTIN STACKS NEWS: The u6’s welcomed Na Gaeil while the u8’s and u10’s continued their Bracker Regan and John Galvin Cups on Thursday night. The u12’s played Laune Rangers and were due to have a final set of challenges this weekend.

The u14’s and u16’s are due to

The Austin Stacks Lotto tickets are available from the usual outlets and on line with the jackpot at e13,400.

TRALEE TOWN BOARD: The Tralee Town Board has expressed its deep sadness at the death of Micheal Kerins who was their President for many years. PRO Timmy Lynch said that Micheal’s made a huge contribution to the Board.

“He was always very positive and encouraging and had a deep knowledge of football that he was always willing to share. We were all delighted to see him at our AGM before the Covid lockdown where his contributions were as apt as ever. He said that he felt football in Kerry was coming on well and that the Town Board was going in the right direction and was his beloved Kerins O’Rahillys.

We extend our sympathies to his extended family”.

PARNELLS NEWS: The club joined with all those who expressed their sadness at the death of Micheal Kerins who is the father of club President Rory. He had a huge passion for hurling as well as football and was immensely proud for him last year as he led the parade before their first senior game.

The minors put up a very strong performance before going down in the County Championship semi-final.

The Saturday Street League was due to get underway this weekend but this will now be postponed.

The u16 camogie side had qualified for their County Shield Final due for this weekend. They put in a great effort in their victory over Cillard in tough weather conditions.

The u12 camogie side were very unlucky to go down by just 1 point in their Division A Shield Final with the game finishing 2-01 to 2-02 to Causeway. The Amber side lost out to Sliabh Luachra in Spa Killarney in another game played in very harsh conditions. The u8’s had their last session and were presented with their certificates. The coaches were delighted with their progress and thanked all the parents for their cooperation.

In u13 hurling it finished Ballyheigue 2-04 to 1-01. The u10’s enjoyed their win over Lixnaw while the u14’s and u16’s Street Leagues on the IT astroturf got inderway last weekend by will now be postponed.

NA GAEIL RELAUNCH LOTTO: The Na Gaeil Lotto has re-launched following its COVID break with the draws taking place in the Clubhouse on Tuesday nights. The opening jackpot is e4,300 and those who have repeated entry tickets won’t lose out as these will be extended by 30 weeks.
