‘Kick in teeth’ fury as bank wields axe THREE Bank of Ireland branches in Co Waterford are among the 88 to be axed across the country. The bank says services provided at its Ardkeen, Kilmacthomas and Lismore offices will, from September, be offered by post offices. It has named 23 post offices across the county that will offer basic banking services, including offices in Kilmacthomas and Lismore. An Post welcomed the announcement but the move has brought angry criticism from local politicians. Fianna Fáil TD Mary Butler said it was “a major blow ... to lose three branches in Waterford in one fell swoop .” Ms Butler, who is Minister of State with responsibility for older people, said the closures were “a devastating blow” for this sector. Sinn Féin TD David Cullinane said it was “the wrong decision at the worst possible time”. He said the fall in branch business was hardly surprising given the entire population has had

its movements significantly restricted and accused the Bank of “using Covid-19 for cover, punishing customers for following public health regulations.” Waterford Labour councillors John Pratt, Ger Barron, Séamus Ryan, and Thomas Phelan. issued a joint statment accusing Bank of Ireland of kicking its loyal customers in the teeth. They called on the Central Bank and Government to intervene Fianna Fáil councillor James Tobin called for clarirfication on what services would be available at the post offices. Bank of Ireland said the cuts were in response to significant trends in how people are banking .It said: “The bank will continue to operate one of the most extensive branch networks in the country, with 169 branches. This will be complemented by the new partnership with An Post, offering customers services including over the counter cash and cheque lodgements, withdrawals, and balance enquiries.”

Pain clinic

UPMC has opened a Joint Pain Clinic at the WIT Arena for March. It is a response to the high number of people across the South East who are in significant pain but unable to access care because of Covid restrictions.

THE Waterford senior camogie team and management were out in force for a 5k run to raise cash for their training fund. In line with Covid restrctions they all went thrugh their paces within 5k of their homes. From Passage to Cappoquin, and everywhere in between, the whole panel along with their friends,

family and supporters were out in beautiful weather. Camogie manager, Dungarvan’s Derek Lyons, took things quite a lot further by completing a 50k walk which took him just over seven hours, a phenomenal effort by him and all done within 5k of his home. The Covid pandemic has had a serious impact on camogie fundaising and all

funds raised from the 5K will go towards training costs for 2021. The go fund me page is still open at www.gofundme.com/.../ support-our-seniorstraining... Picture: Dungarvan’s Orla Hickey was joined on the run by her cousin, Laoibhse Harney. Photo: Noel Browne

Freya is the name game winner

FREYA is the most popular name for baby girls in Waterford city. Central Stastistics Office figures for last year show that the old Norse name has knocked 2019 favourite, Grace, from the top spot. Waterford is the only city or county in Ireland where Freya is the top choice, althiough it is popular around the country and in many other countries. It is a name is of Scandinavian origin. In Norse mythology, Freya was the goddess of love and fertility. Friday was named for her. In Waterford county, excluding the city, Amelia and Emily are the most popular names, the CSO figures reveal. In the city, Alex, Jack and Liam are the most popilar boys’ names, pushing out the 2019 favourites, Harry and Noah. In the county the most popular boy’s name was Jack, displacing the 2019 favourite, Tadhg. Nationally, Jack maintains the top spot for boys while Grace ousts Emily to take the top spot for baby girls

More of our commercial property is lying vacant ALMOST three in every 20 commercial properties in Waterford are lying vacant, a survey shows. The commercial vacancy rate here stood at 14.4% the last quarter of 2020, the GeoView Commercial Property Report shows. The rate increased slightly in the year (up 0.3 %) and is higher than the national average of 13.5% . In the county’s urban areas, Waterford city (17.5%) had the highest commercial vacancy rate, while Tramore (14.1%) had the lowest . Waterford accounted for 2.6% of the State’s total commercial stock of 211,677 premises. Some 14.9% of commercial units in Waterford were classified as providing Accommodation and Food Services, indicating the importance here of the tourism and hospitality sectors which have been hard hit by Covid restrictions. An increase in commercial vacancy rates was recorded in 19 counties when compared to the corresponding period in 2019. This included every county in Munster, Ulster and Connacht. Of the five counties to record a decline, all were in Leinster. Previous GeoView Commercial Property Reports have highlighted a growing regional disparity in commercial

occupancy rates and this trend appears to be accelerating. The commercial vacancy rates in Connacht and Ulster were above the national average of 13.5%, while Munster was equal to the national average. In comparison, Leinster (12.3%) and Leinster, excluding Dublin, (12.7%) recorded vacancy rates below the national average. The seven counties with the highest commercial vacancy rates were all on the west coast. With the exception of Kildare (14.4%), all counties in the Greater Dublin Area registered commercial vacancy rates lower than the national average, INCOME: People in Waterford have a lower disposable income than the national average and considertably lower than the average for Dublin. The Central Statistics Office figures are for 2018. They show that Dublin city and county had the highest average disposable income per person. At €24,969 it was 17.4% higher than the state average of €21,270 . In the South East, including Waterford, the average was €19,150, up by €550 in a year. In ther county of Waterford the average was €19,616. Disposable income is defined as the amount left from total income of all sorts, including social payments, after tax has been paid.

Boutique takes its business online A FAMOUS name in Waterford fashion has fallen victim to the Covid pandemic. Redlane is closing its store in Tramore, opened in 2005, and moving online only. Owner Catherine Keighery blamed the pandemic. The retail rule book has been re-written, she said, pointing out that it was a year since they had last opened their doors She said social distancing and health-and-safety regulations had “complete eliminated the joy of experiential shopping for the customer”. The fashion boutique was Ireland’s first independent fashion retailer to launch an e-com-

merce website back in 2008 “I am grateful for the fact that redlane.ie was already established and we were able to move our focus entirely to online sales and for the support, we’ve received from our customers,” Ms Keighery said. “While Redlane will no longer be at The Cross in Tramore I intend to keep Redlane.ie HQ in Tramore and hopefully grow the business further.” The Irish e-commerce report of 2021 is showing that Covid has changed the way people shop. The online sector grew by 159% in 2020, compared to average growth of 32% in the previous two years .

Flying the online flag for Meagher

THE Thomas Francis Meagher Tricolour Celebration has been forced to go remote by Covid restrictions. On Sunday 7 March the 1848 Tricolour Celebration will be playing videos on its Facebook page to celebrate the first flying of the flag in Waterford in 1848. It was flown at 33 the Mall by Waterford-born Thomas Francis Meagher. (pictured) The committee hopes its annual programme of celebration will go ahead on the weekend of June 25 -27. With the support of Waterford City and County Council, this weekend will see, among other things, a lecture programme reflecting on the life of Meagher, short dramas inspired by him, historical walks and a ceremonial Raising of the Tricolour. Mindful of future plans, the committee has changed its name from the 1848 Tricolour Celebration to the Thomas Francis Meagher Tricolour

Celebration. In a statement, it explains: “It is appropriate that Meagher’s name should be included in the title, as he is the originator of our most important national emblem. “This change of name also reflects the fact that Meagher’s name is known and recognised, not only in Waterford and Ireland, but overseas as well – in America, Canada, Australia and Great Britain and France. “He is a man known in six countries and on three continents.”

round judging panel had an even harder task at discerning who should be named winner and runner-up,” she said. “In light of this, it is a truly remarkable achievement to emerge as a runner-up from this highly competitive process.” Picture: Boxworks facilitator, Emer Ward Powel and director, Jim Gordon

Dragons fire up equality project

STUDENTS from Waterford’s Newtown School have secured funding to develop a project aimed at educating primary school children on issues relating to inequality and discrimination. The students pitched their social innovation project idea virtually to a Dragons’ Den panel including representatives from Virgin Media, Unilever Ireland and TUSLA, during the recent Den event series, hosted by Young Social Innovators. The Waterford teens plan to create a children’s book and accompanying diverse doll to help communicate their message of diversity and inclusion to a primary school audience. They also plan to create a podcast in order to promote their message of equality to a wider audience. The students are taking part in Young Social Innovators this year, along with thousands of teenagers across Ireland who are creating and implementing social innovation projects.

Leave the Leaving alone, it has stood the test of time

h e n discussion began on how to conduct this year’s Leaving C e r t exams I assumed the issues were about safety and space. Could schools accommodate that number of students within the rules of social distancing? Would the mingling of teenagers before and after exams send Covid infection rates soaring? But it seems these were not the problems at all. As the Leaving Cert classes return, it is clear that schools are quite capable of staging the traditional exam for all their students and it looks like that is what many of them will do. Under the new rules, every student who wants to sit the traditional Leaving Cert will be allowed to do so, with accredited grades from their teachers

Michael Wolsey as a back-up. Since students can do the test both ways, and accept whichever mark is higher, most have declared their intention of doing just that. They have nothing to lose from taking the two routes and schools seem to be encouraging this each-way bet. So, if schools can accommodate the traditional exam, why do we need a back-up system of calculated grades? Teachers don’t like it because it lacks the impartiality of the

straight exam. They had serious reservations about it last year. But in 2020 they did, at least, have some reasonable data from which to calculate the grades: mock exams, junior cert

results, in-school projects. This year’s Leaving Cert class have not been in school since Christmas and their studies have been disrupted for an entire year, with remote learning the only

option for much of the time. So on what basis are teachers meant to calculate their calculated grades? I can understand why the students like the option. It’s a safety net and in this topsy-turvy year it will do no harm to let them have it. But I worry that this year’s decision may be used in the future to undermine the Leaving Cert. It should not set a precedent for how our main second-level exam is conducted. The Leaving is a blunt instrument for determining a young person’s future but the alternatives are worse. Teacher projections open the possibility of bias and, regardless of rules against canvassing, that will always be the case in a small country like ours. How could it be otherwise when a teacher is grading the son of a neighbour or the daughter of a good friend? Project work is less open to

bias and should, perhaps, weigh more heavily in our exam calculations. But projects have their own unfairness, since they favour children whose parents are willing and able to help and schools with better facilities. The Leaving Cert undoubtedly suits some kids more than others. It can favour one-off excellence over consistency and sometimes allows flair to trump hard work. It’s not a perfect system but it has served the country well enough. It is fair and its rules are clear. The system is not broken and we should follow the advice of the old cliché, and be in no rush to fix it. I’m not suggesting a change of tack on this year’s exams. The decision has been made to go with a dual system and it is best to stick to it. But I hope that by this time next year the only place we will hear mention of calculated grades is on a history paper.

with Justin Ivory

Love is in the Air!

Common Frogs mating (Photo Justin Ivory) With Valentine’s Day just recently passed, us humans were not the only ones getting getting “all loved up”. February is also the month for amorous amphibians, particularly our only frog species, the Common Frog (Rana temporaria). Frogs, being cold-blooded (ectothermic), become inactive and hibernate during winter. During early spring, Common Frogs emerge from hibernation to make their frenzied way towards traditional breeding sites of ponds, pools, ditches etc. The males are first to arrive and begin a chorus of low croaking to serenade the females. As females arrive, they are grabbed from behind by males who wrap their front legs around them in a position known as amplexus. The males use specially adapted ‘nuptial pads’ on each of its “thumbs” to help them cling on to the females. A female can attract a whole host of suitors who will all try to jump and cling onto her together, so much so that some females end up drowning from this overzealous attention. While the male is attached, the female starts to lay up to 4,000 eggs which the male simultaneously fertilises by releasing sperm. Each egg is covered by jelly which swells and offers some protection to the developing embryo. These jelly covered eggs stick together to form the familiar masses of frogspawn. The jelly surrounding each egg in a spawn clump can keep them up to 10 degrees warmer than the surrounding water. Tadpoles emerge from the eggs 3-4 weeks later. After about 10 weeks the tadpoles have metamorphized into froglets which can now emerge on to land. Get out in the next few weeks and you could be treated to a great spectacle! Just remember not to disturb the frogs and that it is illegal to touch or remove frog spawn without a licence.

pawn sacrifice Netflix (oldie but a goldie)

A gripping novel of love and loss in a world in chaos, Our Mersey Shore, charts the resolve of the human spirit to triumph over adversity at one of the darkest times in recent history. The historical fiction novel is set in Bootle Liverpool during the war years. It follows the lives of the Brady family as they struggle to survive the terrors of the Blitz and the dangers at sea in the Battle of the Atlantic. Can love and hope survive when the very fabric of life is torn asunder? When the daily struggle becomes a fight for survival? When Bootle becomes the most bombed town in Britain?

IVAN Yates (retired, not retired, retired, back for a gig, retired . . . ) presents news, issues, fun and risky frolics from the world of sports, with impressionist and TV broadcaster Conor Moore and sport broadcaster Niamh Kinsella. This is not everyone’s cup of tea and Yates certainly isn’t. But in a world where you can’t say ‘Boo’ without getting cancelled, it is refreshing to see that there are a few presenters left who are not afraid to have a bit of proper old banter. So if it’s banter you want, you know where to find it. Just don’t expect it to be very PC.

GIVEN chess is in vogue at the moment, this period drama about famed chess player Bobby Fischer (Tobey Maguire), follows Fischer’s rise from his childhood in Brooklyn through to his famed matchup with Soviet Grandmaster Boris Spassky (Liev Schreiber) at the 1972 World Chess Championship. The film captures Fischer’s mastery of the game, while struggling in a fatherless home and beset by early signs of mental illness. His paranoia reaches a fever pitch in Reykjavik, Iceland, the site of his famous duel with Spassky for the world championship, leading to a remarkably compelling finale.

girl on the train Available now on Netflix

WE have the wonderful Neven Maguire to thank for this. At at time when putting three square meals a day on the table is becoming a torturous affair, this speedy version of the French classic is a Godsend — plus you have the excuse to crack open a bottle of red. This Coq au Vin is made with chicken thighs, which have that wonderful succulent flavour, but you could use chicken breasts. Neven recommends the garlic mashed potatoes, but look, make things easier and just go buy ready-made the mash.

A bright city, a dull morning and a curious girl on the train. So curious that a woman becomes fixated on the lives of a perfect couple as the train zooms past their house at 120-odd kmh. Nevertheless, she gleans so much from that morning glimpse into their lives that she soon gets embroiled in a murder mystery that unfolds revealing truths about her own life. Starring Emily Blunt and based on the bestselling novel by Paula Hawkins, this starts out as an intriguing little jaunt but ends as a catastrophic train wreck. It’s still worth a watch, if only to be thankful that your own life is not going off the rails after all.

god is an astronaut Ghost Tapes #10

international women’s day www.nwci.ie/learn/international_womens_day 2-28

Wicklow post-rock band God Is An Astronaut have just released their tenth long-player, ‘Ghost Tapes #10’, and a rewarding listen it is too. The band – whose music is purely instrumental – have taken a more atmospheric turn with this release than 2018’s excellent ‘Epitaph’, which had been melancholic [and needed to be given the personal tragedy that inspired that album]. I was struck by how much it seemed to capture the eerie feeling of life in these strange times. The album features beautiful artwork by David Rooney.

THE United Nations formally proclaimed March 8 International Women’s Day in 1975 but the roots can be traced back to the struggles of women workers in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. As with everything else, the pandemic has put paid to plans to mark Women’s Day in any meaningful way, but awareness is at least something and there are plenty of online events, such as Shine, which you can access from the National Women’s Council website.

A sudden call from God on high, I had no chance to say goodbye, The hardest thing in life to bear Is to want your mother And she’s not there, I wish that I could see you Mam Sitting in your chair, I wish that I could go back home And find you waiting there, A million words cannot express My love, my sorrow, my emptiness, No more tomorrows for us to share, But yesterdays memories will always be there, No verse can say, no flowers repay, The beautiful mother I lost that day. - Love always Frank, Mary, Zoe & Amy. Lonely is the home without you, Life to us is not the same, All the world would be like Heaven, If we could have you back again.

Loved with a love beyond all telling, Missed with a grief beyond all tears. - Love Darren, Tammy and grandchildren Mam, Your needs were simple, Your wants were few, If your family were happy So were you.

Always willing, helpful & kind, What lovely memories You left behind. - Love from Garrett, Chantelle, Tommy, Emma & Allie God called your name so softly That only you could hear, And no-one heard the footsteps Of angels drawing near, It broke our hearts to lose you But you did not go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home, You’re always close beside us In everything you do, You were our greatest treasure, God’s gift to us was you. -Love Tracey, Dee and Tegan.

Softly the leaves of memories fall, Gently we bend to gather them all, Unseen, unheard, yet always near, Still missed, still loved, still very dear. -From Noel, Tony and Frances the extended Moore family Novena to the Sacred Heart Dear Heart of Jesus, in the past I have asked for many favours, this time I ask for this one special favour (mention favour). Take it Dear Jesus and place it within Your own broken heart, where Your Father sees it. Then in His merciful eyes it will become Your favour and not mine. Say this prayer for 3 days. Promise publication and favour will be granted. Never known to fail. K.G.
