Neglect that makes hospital a war-zone WATERFORD University Hospital has suffered since it was included in the South-South West Hospital Group.

The extent of the neglect has been set out in a hard-hitting letter to the Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar, and Health Minister, Simon Harris.

It comes from Hilary O’Neill, Chairperson of the South East Patient Advocacy Group.

She said that since UHW has been aligned in the group with Cork University Hospital (CUH) it has been stripped of funding for many vital services.

Ms O’Neill’s letter was prompted by the scandal of overcrowding in the UHW psychiatric unit, with pictures showing patients lying on the floor surrounded by screens.

But she also referred to: *Lack of 24/7 cardiac care. *An emergency department “that is like something you would see in a war-torn country”. *A mortuary unit “that is

completely unfit for purpose. *Patients “sleeping on floors and chairs in waiting rooms and corridors in what was once one of the best functioning hospitals in the country”.

Ms O’Neill claimed that “since 2012 the Department of Health and the HSE, by aligning us with CUH, has systematically stripped UHW of funding for many other vital services”.

Referring to the latest revelations she said: “We now have a Department of Psychiatry in absolute crisis because of lack of funding, with what can only be described as inhumane conditions putting the safety of both vulnerable patients and staff at risk every single day.”

And she continued: “You and your government colleagues with the assistance of FF, aided and abetted by senior civil servants in the DOH, have created this mess and you are >>Continued on Page 4

He was one of 2,457 graduates who received their degrees from WIT last week.

Mr Boyle was accompanied at the ceremony by his wife Phyllis, their seven

children and several of their grandchildren.

The former taxi driver and horticulturalist,from Ramsgrange, Co Wexford, said that graduating from college is something that he always wanted to do.

He started a third level course many years ago but never completed his studies.

He enrolled at WIT in 2016 and completed his studies in

Hindus reject bishop’s yoga stand

HINDUS are urging Waterford’s’s Catholic bishop to look at the “multiple benefits” derived from practising yoga.

Bishop Alphonsus Cullinan has advised principals that yoga is not suitable for teaching in Catholic schools because of its non-Christian origins.

But a leading Hindu representative, Rajan Zed, said Dr Cullinan was doing a disservice to students in the diocese.

Mr Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism and based in the USA, said Dr Cullinan should not “snatch the valuable opportunity of highly beneficial yoga from the lives of about 28,500 pupils”.

Dr Cullinan’s stance has also been criticised by former President, Mary McAleese.

She told a conference that she knew the bishop and he was a fine person “but, merciful hour, sometimes he comes out with stuff that just stops you in your tracks and you think ,‘Ah, seriously Bishop Phonsie?’ ”

Rates rule hits council with €3m budget hole

AN EMERGENCY meeting of Waterford council has been called to discuss a €3 million hole in its budget.

The problem arises from the way rates are charged on utilities owned by Irish Water .

Irish Water was established under the Water Services Act of 2013 and rates were charged on water assets which previously had only a nominal value.

The rates were worth more than €4 million a year to the newly combined Waterford City and County Council (WCCC).

It was assumed that Irish Water would pay the money from water charges but when the charges were dropped, after protests, the rates were also dropped and the Government put in place a compensation scheme for the loss of this money.

However, it is now proposed to re-introduce the rates under 2017 Water Services Act and a revaluation has cut the income for the council from €4.5 million just over €1.1 million.

Compensation has not been offered.

In a letter to councillors.

Michael Walsh, the council’s chief executive, said: “There is not a clear indication of what support will be available and it is certainly clear that the quantum of money necessary to offset the total loss to affected

authorities is not available.”

Mr Walsh said the impact for Waterford was greater than anywhere else in terms of the overall rates base.

“WCCC’s loss (reflects) about 13.5% of actual rates income versus not more than 4% for any other authority,” he said.

“This anomaly simply reflects the specific coincidence of timing of our revaluation process and the Irish Water formation in 2013. The only other authority similarly affected is Dublin City but our relative position is much worse given the extent of overall rates income in Dublin.”

Cllr Eddie Mulligan (FF) said the €3.3m could not be borne by the council or absorbed by cutting services or spending.

“The impact for Waterford is disproportionate to everywhere else,” he said.

“Waterford is not Dublin and we cannot absorb this loss of income and the Government must deliver a solution to a Government problem.”

Mr Walsh said he intended to appeal the decision but was uncertain of the outcome.

In his letter he said: “There is an opportunity to appeal the global valuation (or the Irish Water element) but it is difficult to see how the basis for valuation could be shifted in the instance of one authority as distinct from across all councils.”

systematically denying the people of the southeast access to safe services at their regional hospital, especially life-saving 24/7 cardiac care.

“But we say enough is enough now. Every person who dies needlessly because of your failure to fund vital services is more blood on your hands. It is time you faced these facts and took responsibility for your actions.”

Michael Hayes. industrial relations officer with the Psychiatric Nurses Association said that at one stage last week

there were 54 patients in the 44bed psychiatric unit. Another seven patients were sent to the private St Patrick’s mental health services in Dublin and three more to Kilkenny.

He said there were five patients sleeping on chairs and it was impossible to deliver proper care at the unit.

The Psychiatric Nurses Association is organising a protest rally outside the hospital on Friday.

A large crowd is expected at the rally which will be attended by the PNA’s general secretary Peter Hughes and several union officials..

Opening time for a new era at Maher’s

ONE of Waterford’s most historic bars has new owners.

The Moondharrig House in O’Connell Street, better known as Tom Maher’s, is now being run by Moondharrig Ventures, a partnership between Sarah

Jane Hanton, owner of The Parlour Vintage Tea Rooms in Waterford city, and returning Waterford emigrant, Claire Lalvani.

The business was sold in July but the change of ownership

was not concluded until November 1. The pub first opened in 1886, under the name of John Britton’s. Tom Maher, who died last year aged 92, inherited it from his father, who had married John Britton’s daughter.

Tom ran it for more than 77 years. He is thought to have been Ireland’s longest serving publican and was certainly one of the most unusual.

He set his own opening hours and refused to increase drink prices in line with other pubs.

Tom ran Maher’s as a ‘men only’ pub, despite pressure from feminist groups and changes in the law.

The men-only policy continued even after his wife Mary started working there.

Her presence prompted a famous newspaper cartoon which showed two men in the pub reading a report about space exploration.

“There’s a man on the moon,” said one. “That’s nothing,” said the other. “There’s a woman in Maher’s.”

The new owners plan only some small changes, including music and extending the opening hours.

A wheely tough test for Paddy PADDY Flynn is heading home to Waterford by the scenic route. He is cycling from Sydney in Australia and hopes to make the journey in 12 months, crossing 28 countries in three continents and completing gruelling tests on the way.

Paddy, from Rathgormack, and Daithí Harrison, from Tipperary, hope to raise vital funds for two charities – CMRF Crumlin and the Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation.

To celebrate completing the Australian leg of their journey the men took part in a 50-mile race in Dwellingup, Perth.

After battling through the race they enjoyed one day of rest before their flight to Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam.

Paddy and Daithi travelled to the Vietnamese Island of Phú Quốc for their next ultramarathon, where they ran a gruelling 64km route around the South of the Island.

“It was one of the most challenging runs to date,”

Paddy said. “The humidity and heat made for a tough day that we will remember for a long time.”

The pair are currently in Cambodia where they will tackle their third ultramarathon in the coming days.

Paddy and Daithí are pictured above. You can follow the journey on their website www.2cycle28.com. People who want to donate can go to their fundraising page on https:// www.idonate.ie/fundraiser/ mountains-and-men

Savills a winner all right

TRAMORE Racecourse has announced that its newly upgraded Grade 3 chase on New Year’s Day will be sponsored by Savills Ireland for the next three years. The chase has been attracting an increasingly better class of horse in recent years with previous winners Bachasson, Champagne West and most notably last year’s Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Al Boom.

Speaking at the

sponsorship announcement, Angus Potterton, Savills Ireland Managing Director, said: “The feature race on New Years Day at Tramore was our first venture into racing sponsorship two years ago. There is a great holiday atmosphere on the day and the crowds are always huge.”

Owen Byrne, General Manager of Tramore racecourse, said they were thrilled that Savills Ireland have chosen to extend their

sponsorship.

“Our New Year’s Day fixture has been a firm favourite in the South East’s social calendar for many years,” he said. “We hope to build on that success.”

nvestment advisers who meet potential investors will firstly establish the investors’ attitude to risk and the investors’ ability to take that risk.

Based on each investor’s personal circumstances, a recommendation will be made focussing on the assets classes to invest in; the importance of diversification which helps to reduce risk; the potential rewards and what downsides there might be.

Ultimately, the most important thing for most investors is a return on their investment.

This is a reasonable expectation because the reason for taking a risk by investing capital is the expectation of getting a return.

The failure of a fund to perform as expected will decrease potential returns as will the underlying charges.

However, by far the biggest enemy of successful investing is something rarely discussed at the outset - the effect taxation will have on the return.

It is said there are only two certainties in life - death and taxes.

Looking at the number and

type of taxes that are levied on investments, it is clear just how many ways the taxman has of taking his slice of every pie.

The usual taxes levied are Deposit Interest Retention Tax [DIRT]; Capital Gains Tax [CGT]; Collective Investments [Exit Tax]; Personal Portfolio Wrappers; Income Tax and Universal Social Charge.

With rates that vary from 33% to 60%, this can be a serious erosion of returns for any investor.

In most cases, investors who make money in one investment will pay tax on it while they are unable to offset losses in other investments.

M a n y investors are paying higher rates of tax on their investment simply because they are in the wrong type of wrapper.

Adelphi Financial Brokers now offers investors access to an open architecture platform with access to a broad range of fund providers with over 30,000 funds and more than 10,000 ETFs. Not only are charges often cheaper and more transparent, the investor can set up their own portfolio to attract different tax treatment. This enables investors to shelter losses within the portfolio and also write off past capital losses.

Rights scheme to help local landlords

THE Residential Tenancies Board (RTB) is inviting landlords in Waterford and the neighbouring counties to take part in a scheme to improve knowledge of their legal rights.

The Betterlet: RTB Landlord Accreditation scheme aims to support landlords to gain a stronger understanding of their rental rights and responsibilities and to improve knowledge of the latest legislative changes that effect their tenancies.

The RTB is hosting a free one-day accreditation course for landlords on Saturday, 23 November, in the River Court Hotel, Kilkenny.

The accreditation course will take place from 10:00am to 5:00pm and will cover the following areas, which have been updated with the latest legislative changes: *Pre-tenancy guidance *How to manage a tenancy throughout from beginning to end *Rights and responsibilities – landlord and tenant *Dispute prevention and what to do if things go wrong *Minimum standards – how

Jenny Beresford, Clinton Cunnage, Lauren Cunnage, Isabel Cunnage and Leo Cunnage at the launch of Dungarvan’s AGlow festival to ensure your property is compliant with the minimum standards *Rent Pressure Zone qualification criteria and exemptions *How to end a tenancy – information on how to correctly serve notice and what reasons can be relied upon.

Participants’ accreditation will be subject to a short assessment at the end of the course and once awarded, accreditation to the scheme is valid for two years.

Commenting on the benefits of the Betterlet: RTB

Accredited Landlord scheme, Caren Gallagher, RTB Head of Communications and Research, said: “Our accredited scheme works to support landlords to be better informed and more confident in their ability to apply and adhere to the regulations under which they must operate, helping to mitigate any unnecessary penalties or disputes with tenants.”

ON MY SKIN. This Italian movie tells the real life story of a young man who died in police custody and whose case became a huge scandal.

You might think that the scandal was because the man died in custody but that really wasn’t it. The fact is that in the same year that Stefano Cuchi died in custody, he was one of over 1,500 people who died in police custody in Italy. That figure is just astounding and it only comes out at the end of the film.

What is also interesting about this movie is that Stefano is not exactly what you would call a 100% sympathetic character. Even throughout his time in custody he does and says things that make you wonder what kind of person he is.

Also throughout the film, facts about his life come out that also make him less than sympathetic. None of this takes away from the fact that he was, in effect, beaten to death by police while in their custody.

It all starts when he is arrested for drug possession, both hash and cocaine. His main thing is that the police not find out his address as he has more drugs stashed there. Although he is working with his father it is clear that Stefano is also dealing on the side in quite a large way to make money. It also comes out later on that he has been a heroin addict and has been in rehab on more than one occasion. He is also epileptic which he makes clear to the police when he is being processed.

As regards the actual beating he received which led to his death a number of days later there is sufficent ambiguity surrounding it as to who carried it out which is quite deliberate.

You don’t see the beating but you know that he was beaten very badly. Bad enough for an ambulance to eventually be called. Here Stefano makes a big mistake.

The ambulance men who are more than nice say that they will take him to hospital as he badly needs it but Stefano, for some reason, refuses. In the end Stefano is transferred to a prison hospital where his parents are not allowed to visit and some of the staff are less than nice. He also refuses some treatments. Within a couple of days he is dead.

Stefano is not a completely sympathetic person who makes some really bad decisions but that doesn’t excuse what happened to him, nor to so many other people in the Italian criminal system.

A really watchable movie with some great performances showing the complexities of people’s lives as well as the horrors of a criminal system gone badly wrong.

Goggle Box

Just the ticket: a €1 bus fare - or no charge at all A POLITICAL party is asking Bus Eireann to deliver a Christmas present to Waterford.

People Before Profit (PBP) wants the fare between Tramore and the city, and other local routes, reduced to €1 during the month of December.

It says this would encourage people to use public transport to shop in the city centre and would help reduce traffic congestion and carbon emissions.

PBP is writing to the National Transport Authority, Bus Eireann and the Kenneally Bus Company suggesting that Leap cards, or any similar cards, be adjusted to reflect the reduction on all local bus routes for the month of December.

“Local shops, restaurants, cafes, pubs, markets and cultural events would all benefit,” the party said in a statement.

Fianna Fáil councillor Eddie Mulligan went one better and called for free public transport to be tried in Waterford city.

He pointed to examples in a number of Europeran countries where free transport has been

beneficial. He said it would “increase footfall, stem traffic congestion and reduce the carbon footprint.”

Cllr Mulligan called for a pilot project and said free public transport “would reduce congestion on feeder routes such as the Dunmore Road, improve traffic movement efficiency, stop car parking issues, reduce wear and tear on roads and provide a vital injection of people for the local economy”.

“In the long term, we could learn from the successful funding models being employed in Luxembourg, Tallinn and other worldwide models which are funded by combinations of national and local government funding, rates, local business contributions and commercial sponsorship,” he said.

“I will be putting in a motion into council, supported by my colleague Cllr Jason Murphy calling for the council to write to the minister and consider Waterford city for a pilot project. “

Senator hits out at packed trains

A SENATOR has called on Irish Rail to increase capacity on the Waterford to Dublin route.

Senator Jennifer Murnane O’Connor hit out at the “substandard” service which she described as “a calamity”.

The Carlow senator said that, under current plans, commuters would have to wait until the end of 2021, at the earliest, before they see any additional capacity.

“The problem has become so bad that last month commuters were encouraged to stagger their train journeys due to overcrowded carriages,” she said. “This infuriating initiative fails to recognise that the people commuting at those hours are doing so for work and it isn’t an option to simply take a train an hour or two later.”

She added: “It’s not fair that thousands of passengers are paying steep yearly rates for a substandard rail service.

I intend to raise this matter with Irish Rail.”

A piece of history Recently the children of Christ Church National School came together to support the ‘Buy a piece of History’ fundraising campaign for the roof of Christ

Church Cathedral, to replace the slates on its roof, damaged during Hurricane Ophelia two years ago. The children spoke about the various ways the slates could be used, signs for cafes, in gardens, or to make into clocks or mirrors.

Dean Jansson is asking parishioners, the Waterford public, tourists and businesses to buy a piece of history by purchasing a 240 year old slate taken from the original roof of the Cathedral built by John Roberts in 1779. Considering the Cathedral and the Church of Ireland’s openness to all, the Dean is hoping that the old roof will belong to the whole of the community in Waterford and its friends abroad.

The plans are ambitious, but Dean Jansson is confident.

“This is a way of permanently linking this generation with an iconic building in Waterford and preserving that connection for generations to come.”

There are volunteers on hand in the Cathedral during its publicised opening hours, willing and able to help anyone who calls in to buy a slate for a €50 donation. Tel 051 858 958 or email contact@christchurch@ gmail.com to book a slate.

Quays project moves forward but cuts feared

A PLANNING application for Waterford’s North Quays development will be lodged this month.

The announcement by Falcon Real Estate Development Ireland comes amid speculation that the huge project could be scaled back or abandoned altogether.

It has been welcomed by politicians and the Chamber of Commerce which said the speculatation “can now be put to bed and we can move forward”.

However, it may not all be plain sailing for the €350m project. The investors, Falcon Development, are carrying out a “review” of the development and there are concerns that the ambitious project may be cut back.

Waterford council’s CEO, Michael Walsh, told city and country councillors: “There has

been considerable speculation souurounding progress in respect of the North Quays project and there have been delays in recent months that are unfortunate but equally necessary for a project of this scale and complexity.”

In a letter, seen by the news website WaterfordNow.ie, Mr Walsh said Falcon has undertaken “a full review of the details of the North Quays development, it being imperative that the planing application is consistent with feedback from the market place, and appropriately aligned to meet market demand.”

The North Quays development could bring a major economic boost for Waterford and the South East.

The total estimated investment is estimated to be €350 million, phased over three to five years.

It could create 2,300 full-time

jobs with an additional 4,500 indirect jobs.

Falcon last week confrimed that a planning application will be lodged with the council this month.

Commenting on the announcement, Gerald Hurley, Waterford Chamber CEO, said: “There has been a lot of speculation and uncertainty around the North Quays in recent months, so following this announcement, it is encouraging that this can now be put to bed and we can move forward.”

Subject to the granting of planning permission, work on the project is likely to start by the fourth quarter of 2020.

Included in the project will be a 13-storey, 200 bedroom hotel and conference centre; a mixed-use commercial building including tourism, retail, food and drink businesses.

Opinion&Comment

Broad Street on market for €5m

An inspiration at age 82

O

f the many hundreds of people who graduated last week at ceremonies from WIT there was one very special person who deserves particular mention. At 82 years of age, Tom Boyle from Wexford, graduated with an arts degree in Irish and English, proving that when it comes to access to education, there are few barriers that can’t be overcome.

What makes Tom’s achievement all the more amazing is that it was a dream of his that he never gave up on. He had tried to get into further education at an earlier age but due to work and family commitments he just wasn’t able to follow through.

However he never gave up on his dream and in 2016 he began his studies in earnest. This involved getting the 6.15am bus from Wexford every weekday to travel to the WIT campus in order to attend lectures.

Considering that there are probably students a quarter of his age living not 10 minutes walk from the campus who can’t make lectures on time his dogged determination is something to be admired. In fact it is this determination that is central to his achievement.

No matter your dreams, plans, likes and dislikes when it comes to furthering yourself through the education system if you haven’t got the determination to see things through then all your efforts will be for nought.

Undertaking any third level degree, no matter your age, requires a lot of effort and an ability to work towards a goal that will be years in the making.

The impetus for such an undertaking is different for people and in Tom Boyle’s case it seems that for him it was for the love of learning and the sense of achievement he felt in completing a course that he had his heart set on for a long time.

It also goes to show that studying doesn’t always have to be career or jobs focused, that there is an innate sense of accomplishment and enjoyment to be had in the process of studying itself.

In an age when so many people, particularly young people, have to study with an end result of getting a job in mind it’s reassuring that there are still people out there who are studying for the sake of study itself, because they have a love of the subject which overrides all else.

It is this huge pressure in choosing a subject which will land you a great job that is often cited as the reason for the huge drop out rates in tech and science subjects.

Students are going for the end result whether they are suited to the subject or not. Tom Boyle is a timely reminder, at age 82, to find something you are passionate about and let that passion be your guiding light and you won’t go wrong.

THE Broad Street Centre is for sale at a guide price of €5m.

The development, being offered to the market by agent Knight Frank, comprises a three-storey over-basement level scheme providing 1,254sq m (13,498sq ft) of retail space and 1,512sq m (16,283sq ft) of office accommodation.

The centre accommodates seven own-door retail units at ground floor with office and storage accommodation overhead and generates an annual rent of €587,008

Farewell Gaybo: you were a true legend

I

had only been thinking about Gay Byrne a couple of days before his death was announced on November 4.

I had been in Donnybrook Church for a commemorative mass for deceased members of RTE staff (one of my daughters was singing in the RTE choir at the mass).

I’d looked around to see if Gay was in attendance – he’s been at the mass regularly in recent years – but there was no sign of him.

The mass remembers everyone who worked in RTE that has passed away in the previous year.

Not just actors, presenters and high-profile names, but electricians, carpenters, camera operators, security personnel, make-up artists and set designers.

Like in any organisation everyone matters and creates the conditions for success. Gay Byrne knew this implicitly.

Gay was a legend in every

sense of the word.

His continued presence in RTE for decades - presenting with skill and aplomb on both radio and television – meant that he was at once both the voice and face of entertainment in the country, the soundtrack to the growth of our nation into a

“

I looked around to see if Gay was in attendance – he’s been at the mass regularly in recent years – but there was no sign of him

modern, pluralist society.

It’s possible for people to not know who the Taoiseach is, or the President, but everyone knew who Gay Byrne was.

Everyone that is except an academic in my faculty at university, who never watched the news, read the papers or did anything outside of his scientific experiments.

We had Gaybo in to open a new wing of the faculty once and this academic got chatting to him.

“What do you do?’’ he asked Gay. Everyone laughed because they thought he was joking.

They laughed even more when they realised he wasn’t.

When you look at the vast amounts that less-talented presenters than Gaybo earn these days – both in RTE and abroad – there can be no other conclusion than that he was underpaid.

He could have earned a fortune in the US, a place he had offers from. But he liked Ireland, liked his work and stayed. For that we should all

be eternally grateful to him.

Gaybo was way ahead of his time. He set the agenda, had the debates that others shied away from.

He did extensive research and made them compulsive viewing and listening with his knowledgeable and entertaining style of presenting and facilitating a show.

I remember watching the Late Late Show with my whole family on Friday nights.

You don’t get that now unless it’s for something like Strictly Come Dancing. Enough said.

The Late Late Show has never been the same since he retired in 1999. I loved his radio show especially, and always thought he jacked it in too soon.

It was common ground I shared with not just my parents but my grandparents, who were all avid Gay Byrne listeners and viewers.

Remembering Gay brought them to mind too. Farewell Gaybo.

- Brian Quigley

Why local businesses deserve our support Comment

AS we count down the days, hours and minutes to Christmas, we at Waterford Today would like to make one appeal before the festivities get into full swing: Shop here at home in Waterford!

Local retailers play a massive part in making Christmas such a special time so they really deserve our support.

For every €1 you spend with a local independent business, between 50c-70c circulates back into the locality, while shopping online or out of town sees only 5c trickle back.

Local businesses not only keep the economy humming, but they also add to the quality of life in our community in other ways.

Seeing local businesses thrive also gives you the feeling that you’re living in a vibrant community, a desirable place to live, work and raise a family.

Local businesses are owned and operated by local people, while even the chain stores are managed and run by people who live in our community.

They work here, coach the local sports teams, eat in local restaurants and live just down the street – so when you buy in

local shops, you’re supporting your neighbours.

Customer service of the kind you thought had disappeared can still be found in the smallest of local businesses.

And while all the indications are that the country is beginning to re-emerge after the

worst recession in living memory, we must remember one thing - we are more than just an economy.

We are a society of vibrant people, and we deserve each others’ support.

Irish rugby legend Rob Kearney has been announced as the ‘Face of Christmas Jumper Day’ for CMRF Crumlin, to raise vital funds for CHI Crumlin and the National Children’s Research Centre.

The CMRF Christmas Jumper Day will launch in schools and businesses across Ireland from November, and aims to raise €50,000 for some of Ireland’s sickest children.

Rob, who is a CMRF Crumlin ambassador, is encouraging teachers and students to set up a Christmas Jumper Day fundraiser in their school; and employees to set up a Christmas Jumper Day fundraiser in their companies, in aid of CMRF

Rob’s Christmas jumper for Crumlin Kids

Crumlin. “Christmas Jumper Day is a great way to support sick children in Crumlin hospital.” Rob Kearney said, “Over 150,000 children go through the doors of CHI Crumlin every year. CMRF has helped families in most communities across Ireland, so I’m proud to support this campaign.

Hopefully I can encourage as many children, teachers and companies as possible to raise vital funds for sick children. Childhood illness takes too many precious moments of laughter, play and happiness.

Christmas should be a special time for them no matter where they are. I’m calling on schools and companies across Ireland to

join me, and host a Christmas Jumper Day in aid of CMRF, so that they can create some magical memories for sick children this Christmas.”

CMRF Crumlin is encouraging people taking part in Christmas Jumper Day to share photos on social media and to tag @cmrf_crumlin using the hashtags #ChristmasJumperDay and #WhateverItTakes.

Christmas Jumper Day packs can be sent out to schools and companies looking to participate in the nationwide fundraiser.

Interested participants can email Sinead Nolan on christmasjumperday@cmrf.org to order their packs.

2019 Team Hope

Irish Hockey World Cup Silver Medallist Elena Tice has joined forces with Team Hope to launch the 2019 Team Hope Christmas Shoebox Appeal as it celebrates its 10th Annual Appeal.

Team Hope is encouraging families, friends, schools, community groups and businesses across Waterford to work together and inspire teamwork as it aims to surpass its 2 millionth shoebox and deliver a recordbreaking 280,000 gift-filled shoeboxes to children affected by poverty by Friday, November 8th.

Speaking at the launch, Elena Tice said:

“I’m delighted to support the Team Hope Christmas Shoebox Appeal this year.

“I first started taking part in the Appeal in primary school and remember the excitement building in the school as everyone brought their shoeboxes in.

“There aren’t many opportunities for children to feel a part of something bigger but as we stacked the shoeboxes up, you could sense that every box was going to make a big difference to another child and that they were going to be opened with a big smile.”

Carol Hennessey, Team Hope Coordinator for County Waterford added:

“2019 is a big year for the Team Hope Christmas Shoebox Appeal.

“Not only are we celebrating ten years of the Appeal, but we are on the cusp of delivering our 2 millionth shoebox. We cannot do this without the support of you, your family, friends, local schools, businesses and communities.

“So, I’m encouraging everyone to rally around as many people as they can and to inspire them to play their part in helping us smash our target.

That way as many children as possible will experience the joy and excitement of receiving a gift this Christmas.

Shoe Box Appeal

Getting involved with Team Hope’s Christmas Shoebox Appeal is simple. All you have to do is find an empty shoebox, wrap it in Christmas paper and fill it with gifts for a boy or girl aged between 2 and 14, attach €4 and bring it to a local drop off point before Friday, November 8th.

When considering items that are best to gift, think of the 4W’s: · Write – pen, pencil, copybook, paper, colouring book, felt pens, sharpener, eraser, solar calculator (these children have no access to batteries). · Wash– toothbrush and toothpaste, soap (wrapped),

facecloth, hairbrush, comb. · Wear – a hat, scarf, gloves, socks or underwear. · Wow – sunglasses, games, small Irish gift, a photo of yourself, sweets (must be in date until at least April 2020), make up, a small musical instrument, toys like a doll, a car, cuddly toy, skipping rope, yo-yo or finger puppet.

There are a number of drop off points in County Waterford, including all Dealz, Axa, FastFit/ FirstStop branches and Toymaster stores.

To find your nearest drop-off point, visit http://www.teamhope.ie.

Team Hope has a range of free

online resources for schools and businesses to help you get started on http://www.teamhope.ie.

Rockin’: beach The Magic of Christmas stone exhibition opens at UHW ‘Rock Face’, an exhibition

by Adrian Crellin, has opened on the Staff Art Wall at University Hospital Waterford (UHW).

Featuring an eclectic collection of hag stones found on beach walks in County Waterford, ‘Rock Face’ continues until 20 December.

The Staff Art Wall is managed by Waterford Healing Arts Trust and aims to celebrate the creativity of HSE staff by providing an opportunity for staff to display their work at the hospital. The Staff Art Wall is hugely popular among patients, visitors and staff.

Adrian Crellin is a Clinical Nurse Manager on Medical Ward 4. His collection of photographs from the Isle of Man was exhibited on the Staff Art Wall at UHW in 2016.

With this new exhibition, Adrian explains “I wanted to do something different, which was both a bit of fun and quirky, but also to let people use their imagination. I have given each picture a different name as to what I see, but the question I ask

is ‘What does your inner child see?’”

Hag stones are rocks that contain naturally occurring holes.

They are said to be spiritual, a gateway to the fairy world, and are sometimes used to ward off evil spirits or prevent nightmares. They have also been used in fertility spells, to ward off ghosts or to protect livestock and property.

Waterford Healing Arts Trust (WHAT) is Ireland’s leading arts and health organisation. Established in 1993, WHAT brings arts experiences to the bedsides of patients at University Hospital Waterford and other healthcare settings.

WHAT believes that the arts contribute to the wellbeing and vitality of society and that engaging with the arts stimulates the participant’s sense of identity and creativity.

WHAT supports the development of arts and health in Ireland and manages the national website www.artsandhealth.ie Further details from www.waterfordhealingarts.com

The Theatre Royal Waterford are delighted to present an enchanted evening of classical delights for all the family.

Starring Vanessa Whelan, Derek Ryan and musical director Dylan Browne , The Magic of Christmas will feature much-loved favourites from the concert hall, opera stage musicals and cinema screen.

Vanessa Derek and Dylan will be joined by very special

guests including the award winning violist Barry Kennedy and the amazing Male voice choir Dordan.

Celebrate the magic of Christmas in beautiful magical surroundings with Vanessa Whelans magnificent Lyrico Spinto Soprano voice and Derek Ryans powerful and majestic Bass Baritone voice.

Under the brilliant Musical director Dylan Browne who has recently performed the

Shositkovich piano concerto at the national concert hall this is sure to be a musical highlight at The Theatre Royal.

The Magic of Christmas with Vanessa, Derek and Dylan with special guests Dordan and Barry Kennedy is a night not to be missed and takes place at the Theatre Royal on the 30th November at 8:00pm tickets are €23.00 / €21.00 conc.

It’s back!

7th Anniversary THOMAS LUMLEY

In loving memory of Thomas Lumley late of 2 Hawthorn Walk, Hillview, Waterford whose 7th Anniversary occured on November 1st.

My heart still aches with sadness, My silent tears still flow, For what it meant to lose you Tom, No one can ever know, I can’t get over losing you, No matter how I try, I will always keep you in my heart, Until the day I die, So always stay beside me, It helps to know you’re there, Thank you for the memories, And the times we loved and shared, When I am sad and lonely, And things are going wrong, I seem to hear you whisper, Cheer up and carry on, And when I see your photo, You seem to smile and say, Don’t cry I’m only sleeping, We’ll meet again someday.

16th Anniversary margaret Moriarty

In loving memory of Margaret Moriarty (nee Aldridge), late of 9 Ceannt Road, Cork Road, Waterford, whose anniversary occurs on the 9th November.

I think of you in silence Margaret, I always speak your name, But all I have are memories And a picture in a frame, Your parting was so sudden I often wonder why, But the hardest part of all, Was I never said goodbye.

- Your loving husband Richie When God was making mothers, As far as we can see, He spent a lot of time on one, And saved that one for us, He made a perfect mother, Compassionate and kind, With more patience and affection, Than you could hope to find, He gave this lovely lady, A solid heart of gold, And after God had finished, He threw away the mould, We wander to your graveside, Flowers we place with care, But no one knows the heartache, As we turn and leave you there.

- Your loving daughters Marie, Linda and Caroline Although we smile And make no fuss, No one misses you more than us, And when old times we do recall, That’s when we miss you most of all.

- From your sister Mary and family.

You gave us everything you had, Your time, your love & care, You never asked for anything And you were always there, Your life you lived unselfishly, With your gentle loving ways, No verse can say, no flowers repay, The wonderful sister I lost that day - From Catherine Margaret, I speak your name with love and pride, I smile through tears I cannot hide, No more tomorrows for us to share, But yesterday’s memories will always be there.

- Love and miss you forever, your loving sister Bridie x.

You gave us everything you had and held nothing back, You were always there for us And asked for nothing in return.

- From your loving brother Bobby, Susan and family.

A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove, He only takes the best Missing you every single day.

- From your brother Richie and family.

Do not stand at my grave & weep, I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning’s hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the soft stars that shine in the night.

Do not stand at my grave & cry, I am not there: I did not die.

- Love, from Richie and family.

In Loving Memory of Margaret Ryan, Clonmel, Co. Tipperary and Queens Terrace, Waterford who died on the 11th November 2016.

So many people loved you, That makes me very proud, You were a very special sister, That stood out in the crowd.

As time goes by without you, And days turn into years, They hold a thousand memories, And a million silent tears.

For those who have loved and lost you, And whose parting brought such pain, I will treasure your memory forever, In a world that is never the same.

- From Jeanette, Caitriona, Richard, Susan, Leanne & extended families Now I am contented that my life it was worthwhile, Knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile, When you are walking down the street and you have got me on your mind, I am walking in your footsteps only half a step behind, And when you face the gentle breeze, or the wind upon your face, I’m giving you a great big hug or just a soft embrace.

So please don’t be unhappy just because I am out of sight, Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.

In loving memory of John (Seanie) Barry, late of 1 The Grove, Ferrybank, Waterford, who died on 10th November 2002.

Mass offered on 10th November at 10:00 a.m. in Ferrybank Church.

Just a prayer from the family who loved you, Just a memory fond and true, In our hearts you will live forever, Because we thought the world of you.

- Your loving wife Mary, sons Bobby, Shaun, James, daughters Pauline and Ashling, daughterin-law Sharon, sons-in-law Billy, & Jaco, grandchildren Ian, Nicola and partner Jamie, JJ, Seanie, Abby, Lexi & PJ and great grandkids

PRAYER TO ST JUDE Most holy apostle St Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus. I am so helpless and alone. I implore you to bring visible and speedy help.

Come to my assgistance in this great need (ask for favour). I will be ever mindful of this great favour, to always honour you as my special and powerful patron.

Amen. Promise publication and favour will be granted B.O.C. 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. B.O.C.

God called your name so softly That only you could hear, And no-one heard the footsteps Of angels drawing near, The golden gates stood open, God saw you needed a rest, His garden must be beautiful As he only takes the best, - Your son George and grand daughter Amy Long is the road to yesterday, That leads us back to you, And memories of us together And happy times we knew, We shared so much together Laughter joy and tears, For us who thought so much of you, They were our happiest years, Nothing can replace you Mam Nothing ever will, In life we loved you dearly In death we loved you still - Love and miss you, your daughter Bridie.

So many people loved you, That makes us very proud, You were a special mother, That stood out in a crown, As time goes by without you, The days turn into years, They hold a thousand memories, And a million silent tears, For those who loved and lost you, And whose parting brought such pain, We will treasure your memory forever, In a world that is never the same.

- Sadly missed by your daughter Mary, John and Jasmine I sat with you today you know, I sat right in your chair, I know I could not see you, But I knew that you were there, I couldn’t hear your voice at all, But I heard every word that was spoken, I sat with you today you know, Calm, but yet so heartbroken, I know you follow me around, I have known it from the start, But sometimes I am afraid to look, So heavy is my heart, I often feel you touch my face, Or think I feel you near, But when I try and see you, It’s like you just simply disappear, I love you more and more each day, And I beg for you to know, I find it harder every day, Just to let you go, I sat with you today you know,

Grandma, Your life was full of loving deeds, Forever thoughtful of our special needs, Today and tomorrow, our whole life through, We will always love and cherish you.

- Sadly missed, from grand daughter Laura, and great grandchildren Seán, Eoin, Hannah and Charlie.

God saw you getting tired, When a cure was not to be, He closed his arms around you And whispered “come to me”.

With tearful eyes we watched you, And saw you pass away, And although we love you dearly, We could not make you stay, A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.

- Sadly missed, your grand daughter Donna and great grand daughter Kasey.

There was magic in our Nanny’s touch, And sunshine in her smile, There was love in everything she did, To make our lives worthwhile.

- Sadly missed, your grandchildren Darren and Tara, great grandchildren Darragh, Mollie, Kyra and Jayden.

In heaven you rest, No worry or pain, In God’s own time, We will meet again.

- Always remembered by your sister Theresa and nephew Robert.

A silent thought, a silent tear, Keeps your memory ever dear, God took you home, it was his will, But in our hearts you live still.

- Sadly missed, Maria, Yvonne and Martin Quietly today your memory is kept, No need for words, I will never forget, Thoughts go back as they often do, I treasure the memories I have of you.

- Sadly missed Geraldine and Donny.

Softly from the shadows, You heard a gentle call, Taking the hand of Jesus, You quietly left us all.

- Always remembered your niece Theresam John and Joe,.

In loving memory of Billy Power, late of 15 College Street, Rice Park, who died on the 4th November 2006.

Also Birthday Remembrance for Martina Dalton, whos birthday occurs on 5th November.

I think of you in silence Dad, I often speak your name, But all I have are memories, And your picture in a frame, Your parting was so sudden, I often wonder why, But the hardest part of all, Was having to say goodbye.

- Loved and always remembered by your sons John and Gary They say there is a reason, They say that time will heal, But neither time nor reason, Will change the way we feel, For no one knows the heartache, That lies behind our smiles, No one knows how many times, We have broken down and cried.

- Love you Dad, Liam, Eleanor and Richie and Ryan No farewell words were spoken, No time to say goodbye, You were gone before we knew it, And only God knows why, Gone from home that smiling face, Those cheerful happy ways, The heart that won so many friends, In bygone happy days, So there won’t be any doubt, You’re so wonderful to think of, But so hard to live without.

- Loved always Dad, Terase, Derek, Jessica & Georgia.

Those we love don’t go away, They walk beside us everyday, Unseen, unheard, but always near, Still loved, still missed, still very dear, If memories bring us closer, We are never far apart, God has you in his keeping, We have you in our hearts.

- Sadly missed by Louise & Ian, Kim and Grace 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. D.P.

November comes with sad regret, The day the month I will never forget, A heart of gold, a precious love, The angels sang Amazing Grace, The Lord came down and touched your face, He held your hand and whispered low, “Come with me, it’s time to go” The gates of heaven opened wide, The angels lined up side by side, A special guest was on his way, The day they took you away, We shared some laughs, We shared some tears, But most of all we shared great years, An empty space no one can fill, I miss you Mixie and always will.

-Remembered every day with love, Mary.

You gave me everything you had, Your time your love and care, You never asked for anything, And you were always there, Your needs were simple, Your wants were few, If your family were happy, So were you, A heart of gold a life so true, Loved and respected by all you knew.

-I miss you Dad. Love Joe. No special day is needed, For us to think of you, For you were someone special, And we thought the world of you.

-Still loved and missed by your daughter Adrianne and son in law Brian.

Remember him with a smile today, He was not one for tears, Reflect instead on memories, Of all the happy years, Recall to mind the way he spoke, And all the things he did, His strength, his stance, The way he talked, Remember those instead.

-Missed always by your daughter Gillian and son in law Liam.

When one door closes another one opens, But we so often look so long, And so regretfully upon the closed door, That we do not see the ones, Which opened for us.

-Miss you Grandad, Love Ryan.

Sweet is your memory, Dear is your name, Deep in our hearts, You will alway remain, It does not take a special day, For me to think of you, Still loved, Still missed, Still very dear.

-Love Kathleen, Leon, Aishling, Reiltin and Donnacha.

When Irish Milers and Middle Distance Runners were World class There was a time when Irish milers and middle distance runners were recording great times and winning maby the jor championships.Presently the Irish All Rounder record for the mile outdoors 3.49.77 is held by Ray Flynn from Longford and it was set in Oslo in 1982 and the record for indoors is 3.49.78 held by Eamon Coghlan set in 1983 in Eugene Oregan, he was also the first man over 40 to break 4 minutes which he did in 1994 in Boston indoors in 3.58.15 ,he was European 5000 metres Champion in 1983 and was nicknamed the chairman of the Boards due to his many successes over the mile indoors in the USA. Marcus O’Sullivan Cork ran 101 sub 4 minute miles and won three World Indoor 1500 metres titles in 1987,89 and 93 ,Frank O’Mara Limerick won two World Indoor 3000 metres titles 1987 and 1991.In 1985 Coghlan,Flynn,O’Mara and O’Sullivan set a World 4x1 mile record in Dublin and it still stands. The most recent mile time approaching the marks set by Flynn and Coghlan was by Mark Carroll Cork in 2000 with 3.50.62, he won the European Indoor 3000 metres that year also. Ireland’s Olympic 1500metres Champion of 1956 Ronnie Delany ran 3.57.5 on a cinder track in Santry in1958 the race being won by the 1960 Olympic 1500 metres Champion Herb Elliott Australia in 3.54.5. a new world record at the time.Here in Waterford just one athlete has run under 4 minutes for the mile and that was David Mc Carthy West Waterford whose fastest times were outdoors 3.55.75 in 2013 and indoors 3.57.85 in 2012. Our own John Treacy Olympic silver Marathon medallist and twice World X Country Champion was a fine 5000 metres runner with a PB of 13.16.81 in 1984 and a 3000 metres best of 7.45.22 in 1980 and Gerry Deegan five times National X Country Champion was again a great 5000 metres man capable of running around 13.30.

For the record the world mile record outdoors is now 3.43.13 and indoors 3.47.01. Presently Irish athletes at home and abroad in these events seem incapable of approaching these times and the question has to be asked, why not. Is it insufficient training or indeed too much training or the incorrect type of training ,perhaps a look back in time to the training methods of those athletes mentioned above may throw some light on the subject. Younger athletes of the moment hoping to make it Internationally will see from these figures the kind of times they will have to be capable of achieving to make their mark.

Wildcats fall short Maree’s Carol McCarthy is unable to stop the progress by WIT Wildcats Jasmine Walker. Photos:Noel Browne This Super League game between two teams placed joint second on the table with 3 wins each from four games was expected to go Wildcats way with home advantage.

However, it was the visitors Maree from Galway who proved best on the day. The visitors were good value for their win as they had quality players who made the best of every op-

portunity.

Wildcats on the other hand struggled for long spells of the game as their ragged defence proved costly. Playing without both Meibh Maher and Cathy Kavanagh, out injured, and will be for some time, it was imperative that those available brought their A game to this crucial encounter and for the first two quarters they did and went to the break leading 45-42 , mainly

This was to prove costly for Wildcats who lost their way at times, turning the ball over and committing careless fouls which Maree were grateful for and made the most of their chances on the free throw line.

Such was not the case for Wildcats who only converted 5 from 14 on the line in the second half. As the game progressed Wildcats were struggling to stay in touch.

Indeed the difference would have been much greater but for some outstanding performances from Wildcats young-

est players. Abby Flynn was superb under pressure at point guard as was Debbie Ogayemi who finished as the games top scorer with 20 points while Robyn Morrissey, playing her first game at top level made a healthy contribution with two wonderful three pointers.

Their efforts had Wildcats in touch trailing by just 5 points with four minutes to play but though they had a number of opportunities to pull the game from the fire, their efforts were off the mark and it was the Galway side who put further distance between the teams at the games end .

Wildcats have a lot of soul searching to do if they are to be in the right frame of mind for this weekends away clash in Cork against Glanmire.

BOULEVARD WREN AND OTHER STORIES

The Kindness of Strangers Virgin Media 3, Thursdays 10pm

Boulevard Wren and Other Stories is the stunning follow-up to the bestselling Gospel According to Blindboy, and a warped mirror held up to the Irish psyche. Provocative and unsettling, the stories rove through the centuries, from the barren fields of Faminestruck Meath to the chaotic landscape of the near future, where social media has colonised the deepest recesses of the human subconscious. This is a world populated by characters lost and at odds with the demands of contemporary life, for whom the line separating redemption and madness has grown impossibly fine.

Episode 1. Part one of two. Businesswoman Ellie is struggling to cope with her new life following the arrival of twins. As she juggles caring for the babies, working from home and dealing with a teenage son, her marriage to Joe suffers. A chance meeting with seemingly generous widow Fiona helps lighten her load - but the friendship soon takes a sinister turn.

Psychological thriller, starring Julie Graham, Hermione Norris and Neil Pearson.

Blue Tit on a peanut feeder (Photo Justin Ivory) With autumn rapidly drawing to a close, and the colder, shorter days of winter looming ever nearer, now is a good time to start feeding birds in your garden if you have not already being doing so.

Although the weather has been unseasonably mild and warm to date, and there are still quite a few insects on the wing and wild fruits, nuts and berries to be found, these food sources will soon be running out.

Also, the shorter days give less daylight hours for birds to look for food and in lower temperatures it takes more energy to search and find less readily available food sources.

In wintertime every little bit of extra energy expenditure can ultimately spell doom for an individual bird.

So that’s where we come in. Putting out food for birds gives them an easy and reliable source of food. It can literally mean the difference between life and death for them.

While birds obviously benefit from supplementary feeding in winter, food shortages can occur at any time of year.

Feeding all year round gives birds a better chance of surviving food shortages whenever they may occur.

So, what foods should you feed birds?

Below is a list of the best options: Nyjer Seed – tiny black seeds which need a special feeder, they have a high oil content and are rich in fat.

Sunflower Hearts – the most popular food in my garden, I literally can’t keep the feeders topped up with the stuff.

Peanuts – the traditional favourite but make sure to get from a reliable source as they can contain a natural toxin, aflatoxin, which can kill birds.

As well as they above, seed mixes, fatballs, mealworms and specialist mixes for Robins are all great choices.

Remember to clean your feeders about every 2 weeks with warm soapy water to avoid the spread of disease.

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING Friday November 15th Starts @ 8 p.m. Tickets: €26/€24 from Box Office or www.theatreroyal.ie

Born and bred in Dublin, Don Baker first learnt to play harmonica as a young lad in hospital recovering from a bout of TB. Fifty years on and Don is still immersed, still listening, still performing to the songs of Blues legends and adding to the Blues canon with songs and compositions of his own as he developed his talent from musician to gifted songwriter in his own right. Indeed, his songs have been recorded by scores of other artists. He has released fifteen albums and shared stages with Tom Jones, Sinead O’Connor and Van Morrison.

Caroline Ainslie brings laughter and games to rich science activities. In an engaging show Caroline covers topics such as shape and space while using either soap bubbles or building giant balloon structures. Booking recommended: Please contact Carrickphierish Library: 0761 10 2696. Best suited for families with children up to 8 years. This event is part of the South-East Science Festival, the regional celebration of Science Week, and coordinated by Calmast, Waterford Institute of Technology’s STEM Engagement Centre.

Rough Magic in a co-production with Kilkenny Arts Festival bring a new staging of one of Shakespeare’s most romantic comedy dramas, Much Ado About Nothing. This hilarious comedy of gleaming wit and linguistic fervor that gleefully undermines the seriousness of romance. Created by the company’s superb design team, as the production is set on the deck of a deluxe mobile home, where a group of friends gather for a week-long party full of cocktail-infused debauchery, bad dancing and questionable gender politics.

RADICALLY EFFICIENT PEUGEOT 508 PLUG-IN HYBRID RANGE ON THE WAY

The new PEUGEOT 508 HYBRID range has passed stringent certification tests under the new WLTP protocol with impressive results. Achieving 29g CO₂/ km (1,3L /100km) and 54 km in 100% electric mode for the 508 fastback and 30g CO₂/ km (1,3L /100km) and 52 km in 100% electric mode for the SW estate, under Ireland’s Budget 2020 announcements, the range will therefore qualify for the newly calculated grant thresholds now applicable; under new rules, plug-in hybrids must now

emit less than 50g/km CO2 and travel more than 50km in all-electric mode to qualify for the €5,000 SEAI grant and €2,500 VRT relief. The new 508 HYBRID range will go on sale in Ireland from December when prices and specifications are announced, with first units arriving in early 2020.

The new PEUGEOT 508 HYBRID and 508 SW HYBRID combine a 180bhp (132kW) PureTech petrol engine with a 110bhp (80kW) electric motor for a maximum combined power of 225bhp (165kW).

The battery offers a capacity of 11.8kWh and recharging takes less than 1h45 with a Wallbox (optional 6.6 kW charger, 32A).

Built on PEUGEOT’s EMP2 (Efficient Modular Platform), uncompromisingly, spaciousness is maintained, and the boot volumes are identical to the combustion versions (487L for PEUGEOT 508 and 530L for PEUGEOT 508 SW).

New driving modes are on offer: a Zero Emission 100% electric mode; an exhilarating Sport mode; a Hybrid mode; a Comfort mode, combining

the Hybrid mode with the comfort of the controlled suspension.

With the introduction of the PEUGEOT 508 HYBRID and 508 SW HYBRID, PEUGEOT’s primary aim was to successfully deliver ownership and running costs, dependant on local taxes, equivalent to that of a traditional BlueHDi diesel 130bhp EAT8 8-speed automatic engine. For business to business company use, this cost is calculated based on 30,000 km per year with a driving rate of 65% in hybrid mode and 35% in 100% electric. For private individuals, the calculation

is based on an assumption of 15,000 km per year with a 50/50 split between hybrid and 100% electric driving.

Available in Allure (level 3), Allure Business, GT Line (level 4) and a top of the range GT trim, the PEUGEOT 508 HYBRID and 508 SW HYBRID form a full range of plug-in hybrid engines alongside the PEUGEOT 3008 HYBRID and 3008 HYBRID4 from early 2020.

Des Cannon, Managing Director at Gowan Distributors, PEUGEOT Importer in Ireland, said: “PEUGEOT is rapidly embracing an electric future.

The all-new 508 HYBRID and 508 SW HYBRID will join our growing line-up of plugin electric hybrid and fully electric models, including the soon-to-arrive and all-new 3008 SUV GT HYBRID4, the e-208 and e-2008 SUV. This is an exciting time for PEUGEOT as the brand works to fulfil its philosophy of ‘choose your PEUGEOT, choose your powertrain’ where customers can choose between conventional petrol and diesel models as well as electrified variants.

By 2023, 100% of the PEUGEOT range will be electrified.”
