LEGAL MATTERS CORNER MIRIAM MC GILLICUDDY ANSWERS YOUR LEGAL QUERIES Refunds/Exchanges

Bonnie got a present of a furry jacket for Christmas from her brother Tony that unfortunately is not her style and she is wondering if she has a right to exchange it at the shop where it was purchased and get the money back instead. She has no interest in buying anything else at the shop.

The situation here is that the contract is between Tony and the shop and strictly speaking he has the legal consumer rights in relation to the item. For example if the furry jacket was not of merchantable quality, was not as described or fit for purpose he would be entitled to his money back. This applies in both sale and non-sale situations unless a defect was specifically brought to Tony’s attention in a sale. If a shop puts up signs “No refunds” or No Exchanges” these do not affect your statutory rights and there should be a note to that effect on the sign.

However none of those scenarios apply here so there is no legal obligation on the shop to take the item back when one simply changes ones mind about the item when one brings it home. Many retailers as part of their customer service will exchange this type of good providing either a gift token, exchange or even a refund but the retailer is not legally obliged to do that. It is at the retailers “ grace and favour “ as it were.

Having said all that many of us when we did our Christmas shopping would be given gift receipts which effectively help transfer the legal rights to the gift recipient. Also an express and implied term of many contracts for gifts bought before Christmas is that the gift recipient can exchange them if they do not like them. However as the shop does not have a statutory obligation to give money back where some one simply does not like a product the usual terms of this exchange would be that it would be in return for something else or a gift voucher for the shop if one did not see something one liked straight away.

Whatever the situation whether it be where you have a right to a refund or are exchanging goods because you do not like them the retailer has the right to look for proof of purchase e.g. a receipt, bank/credit card statement or some other documentation that proves that you bought that item in that particular shop.

An important part of Christmas shopping that we all have to remember therefore is SAVE THE RECEIPT. LEGAL QUIP: “Change is the law of life and those who only look to the past or present are sure to miss the future” - John F Kennedy

PJ COSTELLO LEADS THE CHARGE IN FENIT ON HIS 65TH CONSECUTIVE CHRISTMAS DAY DIP! Gale force winds, heavy rain and strong waves failed to dampen the enthusiasm of the adventurous cohort, who braved the elements for the traditional Christmas Day swim at Locke’s Beach, Fenit. This was the 65th consecutive swim in Fenit where a wonderful tradition was inaugurated in 1952. Thankfully, the strong winds and heavy rain had eased considerably by the time the crowds began to gather in the village. Although the wet and windy weather ended any hopes of a white Christmas, a huge turn-out of swimmers made light of the conditions to enjoy a seasonal dip as a large crowd looked on.

All the regular Christmas Day swimmers were present to take part in a well-established and popular swim. The buzz of excitement and giddy anticipation was tangible as people gathering in the car park were met by lively seasonal music. Members of RNLI Fenit served up a variety of seasonal refreshments while 4

TRALEE ADVERTISER

the gathering numbers were entertained with songs and revelry.

The rain had reduced to a drizzle as the swimmers lined up on the beach at 11.55am for a lively rendition of Jingle Bells. Even the dying sting of Storm Conor was in benevolent mood and had moved on before the traditional charge to the sea at noon. The honour of leading the charge this year fell to the indomitable PJ Costello, who has faithfully participated in every Christmas swim since 1952. As there was a full high tide in Tralee bay this year, there was little sandy beach available to the swimmers as they raced into the choppy sea and the inrushing strong waves.

A substantial cohort of first timers and young swimmers also took the plunge into the cold sea.

The majority of swimmers did the customary three charges into the sea. All the swimmers behaved sensibly and got in, got down, got out and got warm. A special feature of the day was the presence of many people home for Christmas.

The sizable collection went to RNLI Fenit, whose members were in position with their collection boxes from 11am and were generously supported by the festive crowd. The RNLI also provided piping hot soup, tea and coffee

for one and all throughout the day. The warm refreshments went down a treat after the swim. Then it was time to head home for a warm shower before tucking-in to the turkey and ham. The appetite for the traditional fare had been nicely whetted by another unforgettable Christmas Day swim. Long may the tradition continue!

WHAT’S HAPPENING IN TRALEE...

HAVEN PHARMACY KENNELLYS WINS YET ANOTHER HAVEN PHARMACY AWARD Helena Rusk from Haven Pharmacy Kennellys Tralee has beaten 51 other Haven pharmacy ambassadors from all over Ireland to win Ambassador of the year in the 3rd Haven Pharmacy Awards announced on Saturday 12th November. This was the third year in a row that Haven Pharmacy Kennellys has received an award, winning pharmacist of the year and best front of shop in 2014 and 2015 respectively.

The award was presented at a gala dinner hosted

by RTE presenter Brian Ormond and attended by over 400 pharmacists, staff and employees of the Haven Pharmacy Co-operative along with industry and trade guests.

Helena from Haven Pharmacy Kennellys, Tralee

was presented with the Haven Ambassador award - which was sponsored by Glaxosmithkline – for her outstanding execution of the Haven Pharmacy Brand, instore promotions and excellent customer service.

Commenting on the win principal pharmacist, Owen Daly said: We are very proud of Helena. Her award was richly deserved and recognises the high standards of customer service and store presentation she achieves.

This marked another very successful year for Haven Pharmacy Kennellys. In addition to receiving the Retail Excellence Ireland Mark of Excellence in early November, Owen Daly their supervising pharmacist was nominated for the Excellence in Community Pharmacy award at a recent national pharmacy awards night held in the Mansion House Dublin. “We are very proud of our brand and everything our co-operative has achieved in such a short space of time. Thanks to our customers we have more than exceeded all expectations!”

The Haven Pharmacy awards were held for the third time this year following the successful roll-out of the brand across the country in December 2014. Regular health checks,

patient information and consultation, literature and health interventions form a major part of the overall brand offer and the co-operative is planning to introduce more health screenings in pharmacy and regular health talks. “We want Haven Pharmacy to be synonymous with expert care locally delivered - no matter where you are in the country” says Owen.

One of the biggest attractions of the group is the Haven Hot Spots and Haven Top Five, a range of competitive product offers and promotions which appear as regular features throughout all pharmacies in the group and are already becoming a firm favourite with pharmacy customers looking

for both value and choice.

Haven Pharmacy is now the leading, fastest growing independent co-operative pharmacy group in Ireland– and one of the largest dispensers of medicines in Ireland. They are the only pharmacy group created by pharmacists, owned by pharmacists and led by pharmacists. There are fifty two pharmacies in the group, over 100 pharmacists and over 400 staff.

NEW YEARS RESOLUTION’S “Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations” With the New Year many of us will have huge plans to start an exercise programme. Let us help you with our simple guide.

Medical matters: Before beginning any exercise programme it is important to visit your GP to make sure you are ready to start exercising.

Getting medical clearance is especially important if you are overweight, family history of cardiovascular disease or you are a past or current smoker.

Set achievable goals: When it comes to exercise rushing it can lead to injury.

Avoid this by setting goals that are achievable for you. Reward yourself when you achieve these goals. To help commit yourself book a charity event walk/run and tell your friends about it - this will motivate and encourage you.

Be prepared: If walking, jogging or running is your exercise of choice all you need is good shoes! Keep them in an easy place - inside the front door or in the car so you are “ever-ready”, to create a workout habit. Schedule your workouts, this will help create a habit/routine. Set the alarm on your phone, computer or diary and stick to it.

Expect bad days: Don’t expect to be an expert straight away. Be gentle with yourself, you will get there eventually.

“Never never give up” - Winston Churchill.

Find an exercise you enjoy: This may seem obvious but if you pick an exercise you enjoy you are more likely to stick to it. A lot of fitness clubs offer

pay as you go classes or trial of different classes before you commit to membership. Shop around and choose something that suits you. Think laterally - what better way to “feel that burn” then by learning to dance - get fit and make new friends in one class.

Getting started: Any new exercise regime will involve you using muscles you haven’t used for awhile. This may result in delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). This can occur a day or two after exercise. This should gradually subside over a few days. It is important to recognise that this is not the same pain you may experience after an acute muscle injury.

Injuries: Chartered physiotherapists are specially trained in the assessment and treatment of injuries. We have a comprehensive knowledge of anatomy, bio-mechanics, tissue

pathology and healing and are the profession best placed to assess and treat any injuries and the profession of choice to monitor your rehabilitation to return to your activity as soon as possible.

RICE protocol: Unfortunately sometimes injuries will occur. The RICE protocol can help you deal with minor injuries within the first 24-48 hours. RICE is not a replacement for professional care but can assist in the early management.

REST| ICE | COMPRESSION ELEVATION Remember the health benefits - see our blog for more tips and advice “It always seems impossible until its done!”

HELLO MY BEAUTIFUL FRIENDS, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

I HOPE YOU’RE HAVING A FANTASTIC WEEK! I was going to start off 2017 with my goals/resolutions but I thought why not make it about YOU! Make 2017 the year of putting yourself first and taking care of number one.

Sometimes, we get so caught up in our busy lives that we forget how important it is to make OURSELVES feel amazing. Fear no more, this little list will help you to feel FAB!

● TAKE CARE OF YOUR SKIN:

● DO A HAIR MASK

When I have a good hair day I feel a million times better! I love putting a hair mask in my hair for that extra softness and shine. If you want to use a salon hair mask I 100% recommend Redken or Kerastase, or again, you can go DIY and use some good old fashioned Coconut Oil.

● DO SOME EXERCISE

When my skin feels good I feel better about myself, I always make an extra effort to take care of my skin, use facemasks, exfoliate, moisturise and all the little things that make my skin soft and glowy.

Google some DIY Facemasks if you don’t have any at home.

● PAINT YOUR NAILS/GET THEM DONE

I don’t know about you, but when my nails look fab I feel fab! Because I wasn’t blessed with the gift of being able to make my nails look in any way decent, I get mine done. But if you can paint your nails without them looking like a three year old did them, by all means do that!

It has been proven that exercise makes you feel amazing as it releases happy hormones. What better way to make yourself feel FAB than working on number one, YOU!

● GET A NEW PAIR OF PJS This is one of my absolute favourite things to do if I feel crappy. Head into Pennys, grab yourself a new pajama set complete with fluffy socks, go home and just CHILL! FAB.

● DO SOMETHING JUST FOR YOU

Whether it’s learning a new skill, reading a book, or working on a project you’ve wanted to start for AGES, doing something just for you is a sure way to make you feel FAB!

That’s it for this week! I hope you found this little list of tips helpful! If anyone wants to get in contact with me email me at ‘BexblahBeauty@gmail.com’ or message my Facebook page ‘Bexblah Beauty.

FITNESS!

HELLO EVERYONE! HAPPY NEW YEAR! HOPE YOU’RE ALL HAVING A GREAT WEEK! Fasted cardio is basically doing cardio first thing in the morning before you eat anything. It is good for people who want a lot of fat loss as it burns extra fat. I try to do fasted cardio once or twice a

week just to change things up for my body.

lose those last few pounds that you just can’t get rid of.

So the big question is, why does fasted cardio work? In simple terms, fasted cardio works because when you are exercising first thing in the morning the energy that is used during your cardio will come from the breaking down of fat that you already have.

Since you have not eaten, this is your body’s only available energy source. When you eat before your cardio, your body’s first energy source will be the food that you have consumed. For this reason, fasted cardio is often used to

While expert opinions are still indecisive about whether or not fasted cardio is worth it or not, I really believe it is something that you have to try for yourself. Every body is different and each person’s body will react differently. So I challenge you to give it a try and you may just be surprised what fasted cardio can do for you

FOOD TIPS TO START THE NEW YEAR There’s no point trying to go from eating whatever you want to saying you’ll eat 100% clean in a week. You’ll get discouraged, and end up binging on whatever bad food you can get your hands on!

So instead of cutting everything out straight away here’s a few tips:

DRINK WATER: Start small, aim for 2 litres a day at first, then up it from there. Water really does flush out your system and it does wonders for your skin.

Also our body can sometimes confuse dehydration for hunger.

SWAP COFFEE FOR GREEN TEA: Did you know that green tea has more caffeine than coffee? And it is SO much better for you and has SO many benefits. Swap your morning coffee for a green tea and you’ll have more energy.

DONT CUT FOOD GROUPS: January is the time of year where you hear lots of people say “I’m just going to cut all carbs and eat low fat” NO. This will not get long term results.

HEALTHY RECIPES for 2017

WINTER WARMERS....THERE’S A CHILL IN THE AIR! Happy New Year to you all... I hope your Christmas was a happy one, With the cold chill in the air and frosty evenings... what better way to warm the soul than a hearty stew or casserole.

One of my favourite is a venison stew with lots of root vegetables , so we are back with a tasty recipe and I hope you enjoy it.

Remember you can get all my recipes on the blog traleeculinarygangsters.com and lots of other interesting foodie stuff!

VENISON STEW WITH BACON INGREDIENTS

• • • • • • • • • • • •

800gr diced venison 100gr streaky bacon, cubed 125ml red wine 3 red onions, sliced thinly 1 celery stick, sliced 12 baby carrots, peeled 2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped 1 tbsp tomato purée 1 sprig fresh thyme 1 fresh bay leaf 250g chestnut mushrooms (cornflour paste to thicken if desired)

METHOD

1. Heat some oil in a heavy-based pan and fry the bacon until golden. Remove from the pan and set aside, but make sure you keep the fat in the pan.

2. Brown the venison in the same pan. Fry it in batches to avoid the meat boiling in its liquid, rather than frying.

3. Remove the meat and transfer to a casserole or pot with a tight-fitting lid, along with the bacon and any scrapings from the pan.

4. Add the wine, garlic, onions, carrots and celery and increase the heat until the wine bubbles fiercely.

5. Add the tomato purée, herbs and enough water to just cover the meat.

6. Cover, bring to a simmer and cook for 2 hours in the oven.

7. Check from time to time – if it’s dry, add more water and reduce the heat.

8. After 1 1/2 hours (1 hour if using chestnuts), add the chestnut mushrooms and cook until the meat is very tender.

9. If you want a thicker sauce, remove the pan from the oven, add some cornflour mixed with water. Place on the hob and bring back to a simmer stirring continuously until your desired thickness has been achieved.

10. If necessary, season with salt and pepper before serving Recipes by

WHAT’S HAPPENING IN TRALEE...

2017 MARKS YEAR OF CELEBRATION FOR FORD IN IRELAND – In just a few months it will be exactly 100 years since Henry Ford established the Ford factory on the Marina in Cork City, and Ford Ireland plans to mark the centenary through a number of exciting initiatives in 2017.

Beginning on January 1, Ford will launch an extensive and impactful new marketing campaign based around the company’s Irish centenary and encouraging consumers to think about the brand differently. The campaign features the Irish-American actor Aidan Quinn in a range of online video executions and radio, supported with press ads, outdoor and other ambient displays, which will become familiar to Irish consumers during the next year.

There are many activities, promotions and events planned throughout the year, with one of the highlights being a Gala Dinner Event

at Cork City Hall on April 21st 2017 to mark the actual centenary.

Commenting on the centenary, Ciarán McMahon, Chairman and Managing Director of Ford Ireland, said: “Ford has a unique heritage in Ireland, not only through the company’s close family links with Cork but also through the Cork Ford factory and of course many decades of much-loved Ford cars and vans on Irish roads. And we are still to the forefront in the automotive sector in Ireland with the widest network of dealers, providing employment, directly and indirectly, to some 1,000 people across the country”.

“Ford vehicles were and still are a ubiquitous sight on the streets and roads of Ireland all through the 20th century and right up to the present day,” Mr. McMahon went on. “The brand’s constant popularity meant that almost every Irish person grew up with a Ford

car in the family or had aunts, uncles and neighbours who drove a Ford.”

“The factory is sadly no more, but Ford remains one of the best-selling brands in both the car and van market in Ireland,” he added. “Several of our models including the Fiesta, Focus and Transit are segment leaders while the all new Mustang is in a class of its own.

“The company is also looking

to the future as we plan for the next century of business in Ireland,” said the Ford Ireland chief. “Ford is the company with the largest test fleet of autonomous driving vehicles in the world, and in 2017 we will start testing autonomous vehicles across Europe. The company is moving from traditional vehicle manufacture to being a smart mobility solutions provider as we tackle the global mobility challenges of the 21st century.”

TOP MARKS FOR LEE STRAND GRADUATES Board members of several co-operatives throughout Ireland were recently awarded Diplomas in Corporate Direction (Food Business) following their successful completion of the innovative course designed

by ICOS Skillnet and University College Cork. ICOS Skillnet is the learning and development division of the Irish Cooperative Organisation Society (ICOS). The initiative aims to improve the capabilities of directors and senior management to positively influence the strategic direction and corporate governance of food companies in Ireland. It forms part of leadership development initiatives by the Plunkett Institute for Co-operative Governance, established by ICOS.

LAUGHTER ....THE BEST MEDICINE !

A LAWYER IS SITTING IN HIS PARKED BMW WHEN A TOW TRUCK CRASHES INTO THE CAR.

The crash takes car door clean off and the driver speeds away.

The lawyer immediately signals a cop and begins ranting about how much the damage to his car is going to cost.

The cop replies, “You lawyers are so materialistic. All you care about is money.”

The lawyer says, “How DARE you call me materialistic.”

The cop replies, “Well, you’ve been so concerned about your car that you didn’t notice that your arm is missing.”

The lawyer screams, “Crap ! My Rolex!”

A PRIEST AND DRIVER DIED

A priest and a taxi driver both died and went to heaven.

St. Peter was at the Pearly gates waiting for them.

‘Come with me’, said St. Peter to the taxi driver.

The taxi driver did as he was told and followed St. Peter to a mansion. It had anything you could imagine from a bowling alley to an Olympic size pool.

‘Wow, thank you’, said the taxi driver.

Next, St. Peter led the priest to a rugged old shack with a bunk bed and a little old television set.

‘Wait, I think you are a little mixed up’, said the priest.

‘Shouldn’t I be the one who gets the mansion? After all I was a priest, went to church every day, and preached God’s word.’

‘Yes, that’s true. But during your sermons people slept.

When the taxi driver drove, everyone prayed.’

A CRUISE SHIP SINKS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEA...

The people on the ship manage to escape on life boats.

A woman comes to the captain and asks him: “How far is the closest land?” The captain answers :”3 km.” The woman says after: “In which direction?”, to which the captain replied :”Down”

I FOUND A WALLET TODAY, AND AS A PRACTICING CHRISTIAN, I ASKED MYSELF “WHAT WOULD JESUS DO?” So I turned it into wine.

A VERY HANDSOME MAN GETS INTO A TERRIBLE CAR ACCIDENT...

The doctors save his life, but he loses one eye. Before a nice glass one can be fitted, he is temporarily given a wooden eye.

The man becomes very depressed because of his eye loss and sits at home, moping around. Eventually his friends come over and drag him out to a bar to try and cheer him up. While at the bar, he’s still just sitting there looking depressed, not really talking. One of his friends suggests he tries to talk to a cute girl who seems alone at the bar.

“No, she’ll never go for a man with a wooden eye,” the man says.

“Okay, how about that girl over there?” His friend responds. “She has a really big nose”.

The man walks over to the girl and asks, “Would you like to dance?”

Very excited, and shocked, to be asked to dance by such an attractive man, the woman responses “Would, I?! Would I?!”

To which the man quickly responds “Big nose! Big nose!”

CYANIDE

A nice, calm and respectable lady went into the pharmacy, walked up to the pharmacist, looked straight into his eyes, and said, “I’d like to buy some cyanide.”

The pharmacist asked, “Why in the world do you need cyanide?”

The lady replied, “I need it to poison my husband.”

The pharmacist’s eyes got big and he explained, “Lord have mercy! I can’t give you cyanide to kill your husband, that’s against the law? I’ll lose my license!

They’ll throw both of us in jail! All kinds of bad things will happen. Absolutely not! You CANNOT have any cyanide!”

The lady reached into her purse and pulled out a picture of her husband in a romantic embrace with the pharmacist’s wife. The pharmacist looked at the picture and said, “You didn’t tell me you had a prescription.”

TORQUING CARS! BIG JUMP IN ‘DEATH TRAP’ CARS ON ROADS The number of people driving ‘death trap’ cars has shot up dramatically.

The cars are being detected when taken to an NCT centre. Up to the end of November, NCT staff found 6,499 ‘fail/dangerous’ vehicles.

That is 1,000 more than in all of 2015 when 5,432 were discovered, and an even bigger increase on the 4,800 for 2014.

Such is the level of risk around these cars that when one is discovered, NCT staff immediately advise the owner to have it towed, rather than driven, away from the test centre.

The ‘fail/dangerous’ vehicles also have a special sticker put on their windscreens to indicate their ‘perilous’ status. And an NCT official reads out a formal statement to each owner detailing why and how their car is dangerous and un-roadworthy.

Many owners are shocked and decide to have the car towed away. However, a small number have been known to ignore warnings and drive off.

Car testing is overseen by the Road Safety Authority. A spokesman told the Irish Independent: “The vehicles were considered to constitute a direct and immediate risk to road safety and should not be used on the road under any circumstances.”

He said it is an offence to drive such a vehicle.

“When the NCT was first introduced, more than 4pc of vehicles failed with a dangerous defect.

“Since then there has been a phenomenal increase in the number, and age, of cars on our roads. In today’s terms, that would be 60,000 dangerously defective vehicles on our roads if we didn’t have the NCT.” The increase in detections is attributable to higher volumes of older cars being tested more regularly.(Indo Motoring )

DACIA ADD PRESTIGE TO THEIR RANGE

THRIVING Dacia have added a new Prestige trim level to their popular Duster range (they added a Signature Prime limited edition last year).

There is a small price increase but standard equipment includes DAB radio, new headlights, revised front styling, new seat upholstery, satin chrome centre console and so on.

Prestige comes as 4x2 and 4x4 and costs €1,200 more than Signature versions.

Prestige adds 16ins alloys, MediaNav Evolution multimedia system, and rear parking camera with sensors.

Later this year the Duster will get an EDC gearbox (on dCi 110 4x2 versions).

CES 2017: FARADAY FUTURE UNVEILS WORLD’S FASTEST-ACCELERATING ELECTRIC CAR

Amysterious startup has unveiled an electric car to rival those made by high-end giant Tesla.

Faraday Future’s first car, which has been teased for over a year, is an electric vehicle with autonomous driving capabilities that it claims outstrip those of rival Tesla.

Faraday Future, founded two years ago, said its FF91 car has the fastest acceleration of any electric vehicle on the market and can reach 60mph in 2.39 seconds. Tesla’s Model S can reach the same speed in 2.5 seconds.

While its self-driving technology includes the ability to park once the driver has left the car and owners can summon it to pick them up from a designated place using an app, dependent on local restrictions on autonomous vehicles.

Having launched two and a half years ago, the company has come under fire for failing to deliver on its ambitious promises. Its team of more than 1,000 employees, which include former Tesla, Apple, Google, BMW and Nasa staff, will have been hoping to allay fears with the announcement.

But critics were left unconvinced that Faraday Future, backed generously by Chinese billionaire Jia Yueting, can overcome its financial and management problems.

Just weeks before it unveiled the maiden product two top executives left the company, following resignations by six more in recent months. And in November it stopped work on a $1bn production plant in Las Vegas amid reports that was tens of millions of dollars in debt.Faraday Future said the FF91, which was initially billed as a Batmobile-inspired innovation that would rethink everything from the wheel to the electric-powered engine, will go into production in 2018. It is available to pre-order now for a $5,000 (£4,080) payment.

More information about the interior of the car, which includes “Nasa-inspired zero gravity seats” that can recline and massage drivers on-the-go will be announced later this year.

FAI NATIONAl P.R.O. OF THE YEAR KERRY SPORTS HOPES AND DREAMS FOR 2017: I hope all our readers enjoyed a wonderful Christmas and we here at the Advertiser wish everyone a hugely successful 2017 in every aspect of their lives.

And that involves the sporting fields and arenas where some will no doubt have more joy than others. And I know that as my team Nottingham Forest are only going in one direction! But that is the joy of being a fan of a team – we must enjoy the bad times as well as the good and of course we are still two time European Cup Champions, when it was only the League winners from the various countries that took part! But that’s for another day.

This column is slightly different being the first one of the year. Next week we will be back to normal with all the notes from the various sports. And remember if your sport is not being covered make sure your PRO sends us in the information – even though we are very good at our job (!) there are some things we might miss.

So this is time of the year when we set out goals for the next twelve months and make those seldom delivered New Year’s resolutions.

SO FROM A SPORTING POINT OF VIEW WHAT ARE WE HOPING FOR IN 2017?

STARTING WITH THE GAA -CAN WE WIN SAM? While that will not be spoken about publicly at the moment it is the question at the back of everyone’s mind. And of course the answer is that we are one of only 3 or 4 counties that can. But there is a lot of football to be played before we get to that stage with the inter- county action starting this Sunday with the McGrath Cup game against Tipperary in Austin Stack Park at 2pm.

However as the Kerry seniors only got back to training last Tuesday night and are still without a number of players who have either still to decide on their futures or are involved with their clubs the u21’s will represent Kerry, with Jack O’Connor in charge.

He will choose mostly from the 2014 All Ireland Minor winning team and it will be a good test of where the u21’s are at as they continue their build-up to their opening Munster Championship clash on March 8th.

Kerry will have its senior side out the following Sunday when they take on Cork with manager Eamonn Fitzmaurice looking to reach the final of the competition and thereby giving his side another competitive game before the League start.

On who will captain Kerry this season that is in the hands of Dr Crokes but they have said that they will not announce their choice until after their involvement in the Club Championship is completed.

And of course no look forward to the football season would be complete without mentioning the new rule on the ‘Mark’ which is being introduced. Time will tell if this is a success or not but the first thing is that it must be given time to work.

SUCCESS OUTSIDE OF THE SENIORS: The afore mentioned u21’s are due a change of fortune and hopefully this year will see them going all the way. As it’s a knock out competition this is not easy as it’s all about what happens on any given night.

The Kerry minors and Juniors have had great success over the last few seasons and will again be in the mix. Alongside the colleges and club teams Kerry will again be expecting additions to its trophy cabinet.

BAPTISM OF FIRE FOR THE KERRY HURLERS: The new Kerry senior hurling manager will certainly have to hit the ground running as his side takes on Cork in the Munster League in Mallow this Sunday. Fintan O’Connor has not had any time with the squad which is certainly a disadvantage. But from the players point of view there is certainly pressure to perform in the League. At least some of them were responsible for getting rid of the previous management team and when players do that it certainly ups the anti.

It will take time for the new management team to get the squad playing to their style – whatever that will be. Time will tell how this will work out and it’s hard to say what will be a successful season for the hurlers. Once again the Minor and underage hurlers will be expected to challenge for honours.

Camogie is also on the up with various county teams making a name for themselves while at club level in Tralee Parnells are winning silverware for the first time ever. More of the same is expected in 2017.

LEAGUE OF IRELAND ENTRY AT VARIOUS AGES IS THE BIG SOCCER ISSUE: Taking the District League and the Schoolboys Girls League together there are record numbers playing soccer. The Leagues are in a decent state but from a Tralee point of view the question at junior level is there too many teams in the town while at Schoolboys level it’s the opposite and is two enough?

In the KDL Dynamos and The Park are in somewhat of a transition period at the moment and the Premier division needs them to be strong. Outside of these there are many one and two teams clubs in the town. The positive side of this is that it allows many players to play

Friday 6th January 2016

the game while on the down side it makes it easy for players to move clubs and sometimes get games more easily. But if I put this to KDL Secretary John Regan he would rightly say that the KDL’s responsibility it to provide the outlet for all players to play.

The Oscar Traynor and Youths are still favourites to progress to the knock-out stages.

The Oscar Traynor side are in West Cork this Sunday knowing that a point will see them progress.

However the big issue for soccer in the county is the League of Ireland at u15 and u17 level that is part of the FAI Player Development Plan.

The KDL have an Emergency Delegate Meeting this Monday night where the future of the Kerry u17 team will be on the agenda.

From a playing point of view Kerry participation in last season’s u17 League was certainly a success and the development of the players, especially during the second half of the season was evident. This season’s panel, should all players make themselves available, will have a large percentage of players that have a year’s experience in the League behind them.

Obviously entering a team at National League level is an expensive prospect especially when the FAI went with two 12 team divisions. It is not yet known what the proposed set-up will be this season, set to commence in a few months but this should become clear on Monday night.

From this August there will also be an u15 National League with Kerry’s participation being discussed at various level at the moment. This will of course change the landscape of underage football at u14 and u15 level and while for the elite player this is certainly the right way to go with arguably the best playing the best should Kerry have a team there are wider implications.

Add to this the fact the calendar year soccer is also something that the FAI are pushing hard at Schoolboys Girls Level 2017 will certainly be an interesting year.

Personally – and as I am involved in soccer administration in the county it is important to state that there are my views – I hope we have both a 15’s and 17’s League of Ireland team and that we start to put together a 3 to 4 year plan where we can continue this onto having a full League of Ireland team in Kerry. That’s down the line but if it is to happen then hopefully in 2017 the right people sit round the table and start looking to see is this a possibility.

From a purely underage point of view the work being done in the Emerging Talent Programmes continues to pay off with both the 15’s and 16’s reaching their Munster deciders, the Kennedy Cup team of 2016 finishing 7th and the 12’s and 13’s setting out on their campaigns in the coming weeks.

Add to this the call ups of Sean Kennedy (Tralee Dynamos) and Sean McGrath (The Park) to the Irish u15’s as well as a number of other players being called up to Irish training days underage soccer is in a healthy place. And of course we wish our latest overseas players – Rian OI’Sullivan, Shane McLoughlin, Paul White and Cian Kennedy every success for 2017.

IN RUGBY DILLANE’S INJURY THE DOWN SIDE OF SPORT: From the national point of view Ultan Dillane is certainly the Kerry standard bearer in rugby. His rise from Tralee Rugby club, to Connacht and onto Ireland had been great to watch and he is certainly now an integral part of the national set-up. However he is now experiencing the down side of sport as he is out with an injury that could he him miss

SPONSORED BY RON CONSTRUCTION, BUILDING & CARPENTRY SERVICES four or five weeks of action. There is also a fear that his ankle injury might need surgery withy would see him miss more of the six nations so hopefully that won’t be the case. He is also a big loss for his club side who face some vital games in the coming weeks.

Kerry will again have a number of ladies involved with the Irish set-up with 7’s World Cup one of the big things on their horizon.

From a local point of view Tralee are doing great work at underage level but at senior level are not having much success at the moment. They will be hoping that they can turn this around in 2017.

HOOPS OF HOPES FOR 2017: Last year will go down as one of the better ones in basketball with the re-emergence of SuperLeague basketball in Tralee. Now Garvey’s Tralee Warriors they started life as Irish TV Warriors and the contribution of those involved in that initial sponsorship must be remembered. Sadly as we know the television station went into liquidation.

However Garvey’s stepped up and secured the future of the Warriors for this year and hopefully beyond. Any fears that Superleague basketball’s Halcion days were passed were quickly extinguished when the crowds flocked, and are continuing to flock, to the Sports Complex for their home games.

And the squad with local players Kieran Donaghy, Ryan Leonard and the O’Sullivan’s making big contributions hopefully they can reach the play-offs. They have certainly put themselves in a position to challenge for this with 8 wins from their first 12 games. And they picked up their first silverware in their new incarnation by winning the Premier Men’s competition at the 47th St Mary’s Blitz.

Basketball continues to be very strong at all levels below the National League with an especially strong underage set-up of which St Brendan’s and Tralee Imperials are integral parts.

HORSE RACING’S BIG FEW MONTHS: With the National Hunt season now in full swing it is a pity the Tralee’s Bryan Cooper has picked up another injury. He has a broken pelvis following a fall at the Punchestown Christmas meeting.

But these guys are made of strong stuff and hopefully Bryan will b back in the saddle very soon as this is a busy time for the sport.

Bryan, along with the flying Jack Kennedy and Oisin Murphy, are certainly keeping Kerry flags flying on the jockey’s side of the game while Bryan’s father Tom as well as others on both the track and point to point circuits are doing the same from a training point of view. And while it might have declined since the days of the Celtic Tiger the sport would not survive without its owners. So hopefully Kerry is once again to the forefront of the racing game at all levels.

GOING TO THE DOGS IN GREAT NUMBERS. Last year was a very successful one for Kerry’s greyhound trainers both on the track and on the coursing fields. Particularly memorable was the famous triple- crown at the National Coursing

Meeting in Clonmel proving the strength of Kerry in the sport. Liam Dowling and others were at the top of their game on the track and of course the Kingdom Greyhound Stadium continues to be a vital part of the sporting landscape of the county.

Sporting tourism is something we in Kerry don’t treat seriously enough and its one part of the tourism sphere that the authorities are certainly not supporting enough. I put this in here because while it might not be the main reason hundreds of German tourists come to Tralee every month during the season ask any of them what one of their highlights is and they will say their night at the dogs.

There are huge opportunities out there for Tralee to maximise its sports tourism and I believe it needs a forum of representatives of all sports to see how this can be done. Remember the teams and supporters travelling to the town for ‘just’ a game can come under this banner.

They all spend money in the town. It’s how we maximise their spend and those that stay overnight for sporting reasons.

WILL THE ENGINES ROAR IN RALLYING? Rallying is another sport that Kerry is noted for.

On the international stage we have the likes of Paul Nagle, Rob Duggan and Ger Conway, Noel O’Sullivan Jr and Richard Browne while we have the Rally of the Lakes and the Historic Rally.

Locally Tralee Richard Talbot is the incoming Rallies Committee Chairman while the Circuit of Kerry and the Banna Beach Resort Winter Stages Rally attract many local crews. But will they in 2017? For the last number of years rally crews have been paying levies to ensure Motorsport Ireland can get the level of insurance cover needed to make sure the events go ahead.

Now it seems that these levies are not enough and an increase of up to 50% could be needed.

This could see crews paying up to e500 in levies before they pay entry fees and then they have to factor in the cost of equipment and crew. Will this make rallying too expensive for the club member? As there is no insurance in place at the moment 3 events around the country have been postponed. A meeting of crews is set for January 18th which will hopefully see progress on this issue.

CYCLING- With a strong underage participation the long tradition of top class cycling is secure.

At the top end of the sport Sean Lacey, Cathal Moynihan and others will again be challenging for stage and overall wins. The season will again kick off with the Lacey Cup and at Easter Kerry will be the centre of cycling with the Kerry Group Ras Mumhan. The Kerry Clubs League, County Championships and iBike Time Trials will again be hotly contested come the summer.

and international stage. There is a lot of work being done at underage level so hopefully we will see a Kerry player on the Tour in the near future.

ATHLETICS: Claire Fitzgerald, Denis Finnegan, Laura Crowe and Shona Heaslip are amongst the names who made headlines in the athletics world in 2016. With the work being done by the like of the Tralee Harriers many more names will come to the fore in 2017.

And of course the Community Games will again see our young athletes compete for their locality with the hope of then representing Kerry and maybe even going all the way at National level.

This is an annual happening and one of the great sporting traditions of our country.

BOXING CLEVER: The Tralee Boxing Club has big plans for 2017 as it continues to do very good work with its underage and older members. The club also hopes to develop it’s own premises this year.

AND ALL THE OTHER SPORTS: The list above only scratches the surface of what we have on the sporting front in the town.

There is cricket with the Kerry club opening its own field at the Oval in the Spa, swimming where once again the Christmas Day swim at Fenit was one of the biggest in the country and badminton with Moyvane being crowned the Club of the Year in December. And there are many others I left out as well.

BUT WHAT HAVE THEY ALL GOT IN COMMON? Yes there are the participants from the elite players to the youngest participant. But equally as important but often less feted is the volunteers. The hundreds and more likely thousands who give up their time every week to ensure all these sports and more can take place week in week out. And of course there are the even less thanked committee members who work often goes unnoticed.

To all those we wish you every success possible in 2017 and as you know better than anyone one it is not all about the winning. Yes winning is great and so are trophies but it’s the knowledge that you had a part to play in getting the training session taking place, getting the game on, getting the team out or making sure the bills as paid so the club can continue.

To each and every one of you we will do our best to bring you an interesting and entertaining Talking Sport column every week as part of your must read Tralee Advertiser. Roll on 2017 I feel it is going to be a great one.

GOLF: Kerry is renowned worldwide for its wonderful golf course so it is a question as to why we are not seeing young Kerry players make the breakthrough on tour. Indeed golf is one of the games where our female players are outdoing their male counterparts on the national
