Waterford man jailed over ‘cruel’ puppy farm AN Animal Welfare Inspector with the ISPCA has described how “defenceless dogs” that were saved from an illegal puppy farm in Waterford have been able to start their journey to a new life. Of a total of 42 dogs and puppies that were found living in converted sheds at the premises, 29 described as being in the worst conditions were surrendered to the ISPCA and taken into the care of Waterford SPCA. However, Inspector Alice Lacey explained that it took months of rehabilitation before any of the adult dogs were ready to be rehomed due to the issues relating to their nervousness and fear of people. Ms Lacey was speaking after a case in Dungarvan District Court on Friday, May 13, when Michael Lenane (65) of Dromana, Cappoquin, Co Waterford was sentenced to three months’ imprisonment having admitted nine offences under the Animal Health and Welfare Act (AHWA) 2013. Giving evidence in the case, Inspector Lacey told the court

Marguerite Magee and Lorraine Forrestal at the Comeraghs Wild Festival at Crotty’s lake where Mary Coughlan was the headline act. Pic: Patrick Browne how a visit involving the ISPCA, Waterford SPCA and Waterford County Council, assisted by members of An

Garda Síochána, was conducted on Thursday, March 25, 2021 following a report that there was an illegal dog breeding

establishment operating at the address. Inspector Lacey described how dogs were living in confined spaces with very little room to move or express normal behaviour. One shed where expectant mothers and females with young pups were housed was in virtually complete darkness and had little ventilation. Some of the dogs were without water and some had inadequate bedding meaning that young puppies were lying on bare, hard surfaces. Inspector Lacey described how, in addition to the accommodation issues, some dogs had dirty matted coats, overgrown nails, and painful infected teeth and gums. The premises was subsequently served with a closure notice under the Dog Breeding Establishments Act by Waterford County Council. Inspector Lacey also told the court that the adult dogs removed had extremely nervous dispositions Continued on next page

Man jailed over ‘cruel’ puppy farm

Continued from previous page Asked by counsel for the defence, as to whether that was because she was a stranger to the dogs, Inspector Lacey said that their environment did not allow them to be any other way but that. She said that they were subjected to an environment whereby they were confined to a small space with little to no interaction for the purpose of breeding. In addition to the custodial sentence Judge Brian O’Shea disqualified Mr Lenane from keeping dogs for life. He fined him €2,000, and ordered that he pay a total of €2,770 in veterinary and legal costs. Commenting on illegal dog breeding and the work of the ISPCA and Inspector Lacey, Judge O’Shea said: “The work of this ISPCA Inspector is important in saving dogs from this type of treatment, which has the potential to be very lucrative and the work of the ISPCA needs to be commended in trying to shut down these places”. Mr Lenane has appealed the sentence.

Six-year plan paints brighter future for Waterford

THE Office of the Planning Regulator (OPR) has commended Waterford City and County Council on “a coherent and appropriate strategy for the delivery of key national planning objectives including the promotion of compact growth and town and village centre regeneration.” It comes after the adoption of the Waterford City and County Development Plan 2022-2028 by elected members of the local authority. The plan covers the six-year period from 2022 - 2028. Michael Walsh, Chief Executive, Waterford City and County Council said: “With our ultimate aims of enhancing growth of the wider city region and driving regional prosperity to make Waterford the best place to live, work and invest, this Development Plan provides us with a clear roadmap to enable us to attain those objectives. “Throughout the process there was extensive public consultation and collaboration. “In fact, with a total of 1,155 written submissions, it was the highest level of engagement received for any draft development plan. “It is evident that the people of Waterford care deeply about how our city and

county develop, and Waterford City and County Council is committed to a proactive and dynamic approach towards sustainable social, environmental and economic development of the region.” The OPR stated: “The preparation of the City Neighbourhood Strategy, Appendix 21 ‘Waterford City and County Regeneration and Opportunity Sites’, and inclusion of brownfield targets for the county’s settlements within the core strategy table are all welcomed and demonstrates the planning authority’s objective to support compact growth and the provisions of NSO 1 of the National Planning Framework.” It added, “Furthermore the delivery of a robust renewable energy strategy, which provides for measurable renewable energy targets, demonstrates the planning authority’s clear commitment to supporting national renewable energy targets under the Climate Action Plan 2021.” The Development Plan also provides the basis on which Local Area Plans will be prepared for parts of Waterford City, Dungarvan, Tramore and other urban towns across the county.

‘A gamechanger’ for homebuyers

THE new €400m affordable purchase scheme has been described as a game changer for first time buyers and fresh starters by Waterford Senator and Fine Gael spokesperson on Housing, Local Government and Heritage, John Cummins. The scheme aims to bridge the affordability gap between the maximum mortgage people can get from the bank and the cost of a housing unit, up to a maximum of 30% and 20% if being combined with the Help to Buy scheme.

Senator Cummins said: “This is a targeted and proportionate scheme which will help individuals and couples who are just missing out on purchasing a home because their mortgage is restricted by the Central Bank rules to three and a half times their income. Price ceilings will apply depending on the area of the country you are seeking to purchase a new home. Fine Gael believes in home ownership. We want more people to own their own homes.”

opinion&comment

Not a flake left ... and what’s the Government doing about it?

summer got off to a soggy start in June and July has gone from too wet to too warm. I don’t understand why the Government is doing nothing about it. Too late now, I guess, although I am hoping Pearse Doherty will take up my suggestion and try to get the Dáil recalled. Sinn Féin puts down a recall motion every summer and it would be a pity to waste the opportunity this year, when Martin and Varadkur are just blatantly ignoring the weather as if it had nothing to do with them. But turning a blind eye is this Government’s speciality. I mean they’ve done nothing at all about that little wall that’s collapsing at the back of my garden. It’s not my fault. The builders used some sort of dodgy material and now I’m expected to pay for it.

Michael Wolsey

Some neighbours are suggesting I should have employed a registered contractor, not that guy who works out of a shed, down the lane behind his caravan. Well, it’s easy to be wise after the event. And anyway, neighbours can be spiteful. Some of them are saying the compensation I’m looking for could build a new house, never mind a wall. OK, let’s see which canvassers will be making that point when the next election comes around. Then there’s the road at the front of the house. It’s so busy I can’t get my own car out. It took me a good four minutes the other day. I’ve written to Eamon Ryan about it but he hasn’t responded to my simple suggestion for traffic lights. All it needs is a sensor on my gatepost that activates the lights when I start to pull out. A two-minute halt on each

side of the road is all I’m asking for. The solution is so obvious yet Eamon ignores it. But that’s the bleedin Greens for you. They hate cars. If I was trying to get a push bike out of my drive they’d build me my own cycle track. And while we’re talking about the Transport Minister, what is he doing about the air traffic controllers’ strike in France? Rien, that’s what. Absolument rien. I took it up with a local TD and he told me the French government wouldn’t like us to interfere. The French government! What’s it got to do with the French government? We’re trying to fly out of Ireland, Eamon, in case you hadn’t noticed. Time to get le doigt out, minister. And don’t be listening to that Paul Murphy guy. Sure there isn’t a strike anywhere he hasn’t supported.

Or Mick Wallace either, unless he can persuade Aeroflot to do the flying for us. Maybe he’ll put in a word with Putin. Trouble with that lot up in the Dáil is they put everything on the long finger. Two years now and there hasn’t been a chocolate flake to put in a ninety-nine. I’m worried about the long term consequence for children after all they suffered during the lockdowns. There could be serious emotional damage. I explained all this to Roderic O’Gorman but he seems to think the problem has nothing to do with him. Nothing to do with him! If the Minister for Children can’t sort out the missing chocolate flakes, what hope is there for us? But that’s ministers for you. Like the guards, they’re never around when you want one. Like when that damn cat from up the road comes and pees in my garden.

Is a simple bit of security too much to expect? I’ve written to Helen McEntee umpteen times about it but I get no answer. You’d think she could take a bit of time out of her maternity leave, but no. Well, we’ll see what Sinn Féin has to say about that. I don’t think Louise O’Reilly will just ignore the cat issue. Although if the creature keeps sitting on that collapsing wall the problem might solve itself. I wonder if I can include a vet’s bill in my compensation claim? I must ask Heather Humphreys about that. She’s Social Protection, isn’t she? And that’s all I want, a bit of protection. Between the cat and the wall and the weather, my human rights are being trampled on. And what, I ask again, is the Government doing about it. Sweet FA! And don’t get me started on the FA ...

Soccer also features, with memorabilia from the heyday of the Blues in Waterford, the 1950s and 1960s, and the Waterford versus Manchester United match in 1968. www.waterfordtreasures.com.

Tributes paid after death of our new Deputy Mayor

TRIBUTES have been paid to the Deputy Mayor of Waterford, Cllr James Tobin, who passed away suddenly, only days after being elected to serve in the role. Mr Tobin (inset) was first elected to Waterford County Council 23 years ago. Originally from Knockanore, near Tallow in west Waterford, he was a stalwart of Fianna Fáil in the region, topping the poll for the party at the 2009 local elections. Following a council election earlier this month, he was due to serve alongside Mayor of Waterford John O’Leary, who said Cllr Tobin was a good friend who had “immersed himself” in community work across his life. “I have the honour of saying I knew James for over 30 years and in that time, I was privileged to work closely with him and consider myself a friend of his,” he said. He was remembered as a man of “wisdom and wit” by Taoiseach Micheál Martin, who said Mr Tobin had left behind him a long and distinguished record of service.

Marie Dennehy of Waterford Hospice is pictured on the Greenway at Kilmacthomas Viaduct for the presentation of a €20,500 cheque from the proceeds of the ‘East meets West Greenway Leisure cycle’ which was handed over Brian Jacob, Shay O’Connor, Denis Kennedy and Paul O’Gorman, who are all members of either Waterford or Dungarvan Lions Club. Pic: Noel Browne “James was the consummate public representative, a man who loved what he did and who did it for the right reasons,” he said. He cared deeply and passionately about the people he represented and worked tirelessly to

improve their lives and their community,” Mr Martin added. In a measure of Mr Tobin’s popularity, a huge crowd turned out on Friday, July 8, in The Church Of The Immaculate Conception, Tallow, for the Funeral Mass.

The congregation included Minister for Education Norma Foley, Waterford’s Minister of State Mary Butler and all the members of Waterford City and County Council. Mr Tobin is survived by he and his late wife Anne’s children, Mairéad, Micheál, Seán, Áine, Séamus and Pádraig.

Skillnet backs 625 local firms

Over 625 Waterford companies and 2,089 individuals were supported by Skillnet Ireland programmes in 2021, a new report shows. Notably, there was a record level of investment in talent development across the country in 2021, growing by 17% to more than €60m. Contributions from businesses represented €22.5m, or 37% of total investment. Skillnet Ireland is a business support agency, responsible for advancing the competitiveness, productivity and innovation of Irish businesses through

enterprise-led workforce development. Launching the annual report Higher Education Minister Simon Harris said: “Skillnet Ireland’s results demonstrate a growing appetite for talent development and upskilling from businesses of all sizes. “In 2021, Skillnet Ireland played a critical role in providing upskilling programmes to workers in areas that will be vital to ensure our economic success into the future, including digitalisation, green skills and boosting SME productivity.” See: www.skillnetireland.ie

School allowance raised

Minister for Mental Health & Older People and Fianna Fáil TD for Waterford, Mary Butler, has welcomed new measures designed to help families with children returning to school in September. The Back to School Clothing and Footwear Allowance is being increased by €100 for each eligible child. Minister Butler said: “We recognise this is an expensive time of

year for Waterford families, particularly those with a number of children in school. “The announcement of a targeted suite of measures to help families with back to education costs this September across transport, clothing, footwear and meals, builds on the additional cost of living supports we have introduced since Budget 2022 and I believe it will be welcomed by many parents.”

Bikes for all in the city

WATERFORD newly elected Mayor, Councillor John O’Leary officially launched the new Transport for Ireland (TFI) Bike Share Scheme at Arundel Square recently. TFI Bikes is a self-service bike rental service, with 14 stations and 220 bikes located in key areas around the city, including at SETU, University Hospital Waterford, Bank Lane, Kilcohan and Arundel Square. These bikes will allow commuters to switch to more active ways to get to and around the City Centre. With docking stations at several SETU Campus locations, students also have plenty of opportunities to use them to travel to and from the city centre. For tourists, users can also cycle to the different events and attractions around Waterford City throughout the year, while taking a leisurely bike ride along the mile-long quayside, or cruising the compact city centre and enjoying the facilities on offer. More information can be found at www.bikeshare.ie/ waterford.html

Time to roll as skatepark launched

Having been built in just under nine weeks, Dungarvan Skatepark has been officially opened in Fairlane. The skatepark is suited to skateboarders, rollerbladers, BMXers and scooter riders of all ages, skills and styles. Over the past 15 years many groups and individuals have been calling for the provision of a skatepark in Dungarvan. The 600m2 facility developed by Dungarvan Skatepark Company is constructed in concrete and combines elements of bowl and street plaza features. It has been designed with the needs of skateboarders in mind with input from Waterford Comhairle na nÓg and local skateboarders. Donal Connolly, Dungarvan Skatepark Company said, “The whole premise of the skatepark was to give young people a safe space to skateboard, the opportunity to meet their friends outdoors, have fun and try their hand at skateboarding, regardless of their level of skills.”

ninenottomiss book review book of the week tv show of the week with Audrey Bracken @fable_books

Fierce Appetites by Elizabeth Boyle Every day a beloved father dies. Every day a lover departs. Every day a woman turns forty. All three happening together brings a moment of reckoning. Medieval historian Elizabeth Boyle makes sense of these events the best way she knows how – by immersing herself in the literature that has been her first love and her life’s work for over two decades. Startlingly original, compelling and honest, Fierce Appetites opens with the loss of Boyle’s father. It quickly becomes apparent that this book will not shy away from uncomfortable truths or sugar coat content to make it more palatable. It takes place over the course of a year, each month given its own chapter. The simple narrative structure works well, particularly when framed against the volatile backdrop of a global pandemic, a polarising US election, the Black Lives Matter movement, and various lockdowns. The reader embarks on a journey that at times feels voyeuristic and uncomfortable, with Boyle serving as a fearless and uncompromising guide. Journeys are a recurrent theme throughout; Boyle’s own journeys, shuttling between her dream job in Ireland and her daughter’s home in England, interspersed with journeys undertaken in the Middle Ages. Boyle’s passion for medieval history and her devotion to her students is abundantly clear. She writes eloquently about the importance of education and the opportunities it brings, particularly to those from disadvantaged backgrounds. She analyses woman’s role in society from the Middle Ages to present day, peeling back layers to expose biases in still present in today’s societal structures. The writing particularly shines when Boyle lays herself bare, talking candidly about her own addiction, her complex feelings around motherhood, and how guilt and shame are hardwired into the female experience. Her fierce intelligence, unflinching honesty and dark humour make for an extraordinary read.

the amusements by Aingeala Flannery

paul hollywood eats mexico Channel Four, Sunday July 17, 9.00pm

the black phone Cinemas nationwide

SET in Tramore, visitors arrive in waves with the tourist season, reliving the best days of their childhoods at the seaside amusements. Local teenager Helen Grant is indifferent to the charm of her surroundings; infatuated with her glamorous classmate Stella Swaine, she yearns to escape with her to art college, and from there, the world. But leaving Tramore is easier said than done. With an alcoholic father and an unsympathetic mother, Helen’s family life may shatter her dream, just when it seems to be within reach . . . The Amusements is an unforgettable story about roads taken and not taken.

AS it’s silly season and the TV schedule is full of repeats or sports that nobody wants to watch, why not tune into something a bit off the beaten track? In most food programmes, the convention is that a presenter shows us delicious things to eat but in Paul Hollywood Eats Mexico, the producers delight in making Hollywood eat things that look revolting. Like the Doriloco. This is a split bag of Doritos topped with grated carrot, pickled pigskin, chilli powder and – wait for it – gummy sweets. Enjoy.

A QUIET town in Colorado is rocked by a series of child abductions carried out by a figure known only as the Grabber (Ethan Hawke). When Finney (Mason Thames) is taken by him, his sister (Madeline McGraw) tries desperately to find him through disturbing visions she receives at night. Finney also has help in another form - a black phone in the cellar where he’s being kept that has the Grabber’s other victims at the other end of the line... a first outing as a psychopath for Ethan Hawke, who seems to have tried just about every role going through his career, in this fairly ho-hum horror.

Birthday Remembrance Richard Power

A golden heart stopped beating, Had working hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove He only takes the best, They say that memories are golden And maybe that is true, But I never wanted memories I only wanted you, Your life was love & labour Your love for your family true, You did your best for all of us And I will always remember you. God saw you getting tired, When a cure was not to be, He closed his arms around you And whispered “come with me”. - Lots of love, Richie 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.

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. - From John Paul, Jenny, Jack, Josh and Jessica Out of our lives you may be gone, But in our hearts you still live on, Will those who think of them today, A little prayer to Jesus say. - From Maggie, Jayo, Callum, Dylan and great grandson Joshua and baby Jason No special day is needed, for me to think of you, For you were someone special, and I thought the world of you, You always had a smile to share, Time to give and time to share, Years may pass and tears may dry, But memories of you will never die, - From Sarah, Paddy & family Somewhere beyond the sunset, Where loved ones never die, You sleep in a beautiful garden, Beneath a golden sky, Though heaven and earth divide us, We are never far apart, For you are always in our thoughts, And forever in our hearts. -From all the family in Holland

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.M.K.

Birthday Remembrance for our Loving Father, a Grandfather and a Father in Law Richard Power, late of 79 Woodlawn Grove, Cork Road, Waterford, whose birthday occurs on the 6th of July, You held my hand When I was small, You caught me when I fell, You’re the hero of my childhood And my later years as well. Every time I think of you, My heart just fills with pride, Though I will always miss you dad, I know you’re by my side. In laughter and in sorrow, In sunshine and in rain, I know you’re watching over me, Until we meet again. - Happy birthday, miss you, Corina, Adrian and grandsons Ethan & Ollie. Happy Birthday memories Dad, Fill your heart today, With all the warmth I’ve missed so much, Since you went away, I knew that I could turn to you, If every thing went wrong, And you’d be there to help me, Gentle, kind and strong. And when I stop and think about, The lovely time we had, I long to know you once again, For being a perfect Dad. You guided and brought me strength, You filled each day with love, And now you send me courage, From your resting place above. - Missed and loved always by your daughter Natalie, son in law Barry and grandson Theodore. What would I give, to clasp his hand, His happy face to see, To hear his voice, and see his smile That meant so much to me. The rolling stream, of life rolls on, But still the vacant chair, Recalls the love, the voice, the smile, Of the one, who once sat there. - Happy birthday, miss you, love your daughter Caroline. My heart still aches in sadness, My silent tears still flow, For what it meant to lose you, No one will ever knoe. Although you cannot be here with me, We’re truly not apart, Until the final breath I take, You’ll be living in my heart. Dearest Dad, to hear your voice, And see your smile, And just to sit and talk to you a while, Would be my dearest wish today, On this your birthday. - Miss you, your daughter Sandra.

In loving memory of Paul Hearne, late of Farran Park, whose 15th anniversary occurs on July 9th. Mass offered. I speak your name with love and pride, I smile through tears I cannot hide, Death does not part us or distance divide, Each day of my life you walk by my side, Thank you for the years we shared, The love you gave and the way you cared, Look after him Lord as he takes his rest, For he is my son and one of the best. -Love from Mum and Dad Those we love don’t go away, They walk beside us every day, Unseen, unheard, but always near, Always loved, missed and very dear, If memories bring us closer, Then we are never far apart, God has you in His keeping, While I have you in my heart. -Love sister Niamh When we last saw your smiling face, You looked so bright and well, Little did we know thad day, Was to be your last farewell, To us you were someone special, Someone kind and true, You will never be forgotten, For I thought the world of you, Sunshine passes and shadows fall,

1st anniversary Christopher Foran

1st anniversary occurs of Christopher Foran 11th of July late of 142 Hennessy’s Road 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. - Sadly missed by his loving partner miriam daughters faith and Harper and son Jake 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. -Loved and missed dearly by his heartbroken mother Christina brothers and sisters extended family and friends

Somewhere beyond the sunset, Where loved ones never die, You sleep in a beautiful garden, Beneath a golden sky, Though Heaven and earth divide us, We are never far apart, For you are always in my thoughts, And forever in my heart. - Love, your brother Alan Deep in our hearts your memory is kept, To love and cherish and never forget. - From Amelia, Martina, Patricia, Jack Paul & Jimmy Paul, a special day, another year, A loving thought, a silent tear, A little tear to keep in touch, With a precious uncle I love so much. -Love from your nephew Richard A laugh, a joke, a drink or two, That’s the way I remember you, Hoping you are happy in your Heavenly home above, On this your anniversary we send you all our love - from Amo Time has passed, how quickly time goes by, Our thoughts of you go on and on, But the memories never die. -From Theo Sweet is your memory Dear is your name, Deep in our hearts you will always remain, It does not take a special day For me to think of you, Each mass I hear, Each prayer I say Is offered up to you. - From your aunts Teresa, Patty, Noeleen and Ruth, and Uncles Tony, Gerry, John, Mickey and Thomas .

16th Anniversary NORA SHERIDAN

In loving memory of Nora Sheridan, late of 3 Andrew St, whose 16th Anniversary occurs on 11th July. Mass offered. Our lives go on without you, But nothing is the same, We have to hide our heartache, When someone speaks your name, Sad are the hearts that loved you, Silent the tears that fall, Living our lives without you, Is the hardest part of all, You did so many things for us, Your heart was kind and true, And when we needed to talk to someone, We could always count on you. The special years will never return, When we were all together, But with all the love within our hearts, You will walk with is forever. - Loved and missed every day, Marian, Bobby, Angela, Joyce, Denise, grandchildren, great grandchildren xxxxx.

In loving memory of Teresa Sheridan, late of 262 Larchville, who died on 12th July, 2003. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove He only takes the best, They say that memories are golden, And maybe that is true, But I never wanted memories, I only wanted you, Your life was love & labour Your love for your family true, You did your best for all of us And I will always remember you. God saw you getting tired, When a cure was not to be, He closed his arms around you, And whispered “come with me”. The one who worked so hard for us, Is resting at Gods will, Two tired eyes are sleeping, Two willing hands are still. -From your loving husband Paddy He held your hand and whispered low, Come with me Teresa, it’s time to go, If tears could build a stairway And memories a lane, I’d walk right up to Heaven And bring you home again. For no one knows the heartache, That lies behind my smile, No one knows how many times, I’ve broken down and cried, I want to tell you something Mam, So there won’t be any doubt, You’re so wonderful to think about, But so hard to live without. Take care of her Lord as she takes her rest, For she was one of the best. -From your son Tony, daughter in law Anne-Marie and grandchildren Kate and Abbie. My heart still aches with sadness, My silent tears still flow, What it meant to lose you, No one will ever know. -From your son Derek and family Now it’s your anniversary, How quickly time goes by, Our thoughts of you go on and on, But the memories never die. -From your friends Betty, Yvonne and Bridie

o holy st anthony Gentlest of saints, your love for God and charity for your neighbour, made you worthy while on earth to possess miraculous powers. Miracles waited on your word, which you were ever ready to speak for those in trouble or anxiety. Encouraged by this thought I implore of you to obtain for me my request....(Pause) The answer to my prayer may require a miracle, even so you are the saint of miracles. O gentle and loving St Anthony, whose heart was ever full of human sympathy, intercede for me and whisper my prayer into the ear of the sweet Infant Jesus who loved to linger in your arms and the gratitude of my heart will be yours. K.G.

In loving memory of a Very Special Husband. Mass Sunday 24th July 10am St. Joseph’s & Benildus When God was making husbands as far as I can see, He made a special soul-mate especially for me. He made a perfect gentleman, compassionate and kind, With more love and affection than you could ever wish to find. He gave my darling husband a heart of solid gold, He gave me wonderful memories only my heart can hold. He was someone I could talk to that no one can replace He was someone I could laugh with till tears ran down my face.

‘Hear for You’ - Samaritans

Minister Mary Butler, Paula Evoy, Ann Barron, Catherine Whelan, Baby Neasa Burke and Sharon Deveraux at a recent Samaritans event. Photo: John Power SAMARITANS Waterford and South East are walking 7km on July 24th to raise awareness of 24/7 service. The walk will take place in Waterford City and finish at The Granary Café. This July, Samaritans Waterford and South East is reminding the public that its volunteers are here around the clock to offer a listening ear to anyone who is struggling to cope. Amid continuing uncertainty, Waterford and South East Samaritans are highlighting the power of talking as part of the charity’s annual Talk to Us awareness campaign

which takes place in July. As part of Talk to Us month, branches across Ireland will mark Samaritans Awareness Day on Sunday 24 July, one of the most important days in the charity’s calendar, to help spread the message that volunteers are available to listen to anyone who is struggling - 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Samaritans Waterford and South East Branch Director, Sharon Devereux said: “It’s been a challenging few years for everyone, and we know that many people are still facing all kinds of pressure, however, we want to remind

the public that they are not alone.” Our volunteers, together with family and friends, will be raising awareness of our emotional support services and encouraging anyone struggling to reach out for help on as they walk 7km on July 24th. (24/7) Anyone can contact Samaritans for free any time from any phone on 116 123, even a mobile without credit, or you can email jo@samaritans.ie. (NI: jo@samaritans. org).
