Annual property prices rise 13.5% AFTER reporting recently in Waterford Today that the average three-bed semi in Waterford had risen 8.8% to €177,000 for the third quarter of 2021, the picture for the year overall has emerged and it isn’t a good one for prospective house buyers. The price of homes rose by 13.5% in the 12 months up to October 2021, according to data from the Residential Property Price Index (RPPI) recently published by the Central Statistics Office (CSO). The latest statistics show the RPPI increased by 13.5% during the year, with prices in Dublin rising by 12.3% and prices outside Dublin up by 14.6%. The average price of a property purchased nationally was €275,000. The Eircode with the highest median price of a property remains A94 Blackrock, in Dublin, at €682,000. The lowest median price in Dublin was D10, or Dublin 10, at €250,000. Outside Dublin ,the A63 Greystones, Co Wicklow

Eircode is still the location of the highest median priced property at €490,000. The least expensive Eircode remains H23 Clones, in Co Monaghan at €85,000. More generally, outside Dublin, the cheapest location was Longford, where the median priced property was €129,000. The south-east region, including counties of Waterford, Carlow, Kilkenny, and Wexford, saw a rose of close to 20%. Goodbody chief economist Dermot O’Leary, said the latest figures implied the annualised rate of growth in the three months to October was 23%, which is slightly below that of September but still among the fastest in the last decade. However, he added: “While growth in Irish residential property prices has climbed to unforeseen heights relative to expectations at the beginning of the pandemic, we suspect the rate of growth will ease substantially from 13% in 2021 to 5% in 2022,” he said.

Think before you pour ... that doesn’t mean drink! Chef Kevin Dundon goes in for the big clean-up

IF, like so many of us, you are only now getting to all that washing-up — the roasting dishes, pots, pans and the myriad unknowns hiding under the foil — then pause for a moment and consider what you are going to do with all that fat and grease. While the temptation is there to lash it into the sink and hope for the best, Ireland’s well-known chefs, including Kevin Dundon, are

asking you to ‘Think Before You Pour’ — and we’re not talking about the beer and wine here. Fats, oils and greases may seem like liquid when poured, but they cool and harden as they travel along the pipes and can cause blockages in the sewage system. When combined with other waste they can build up to form fatbergs and the results are catastrophic. Kevin offers the

following advice before you go in for the clean. “My best advice is, using kitchen paper, scrape the setting fat into a container and dispose of the fat in the general bin. “It is a simple step that the family can do at home and help keep our pipes clearer. So this Christmas, use as much butter and cream in your recipes as desired and Think Before You Pour!”

Mental health is suffering

A NEW survey has shone a light into the dark places that the pandemic has reached — our mental health. Almost half (48%) of people in Ireland are feeling nervous socialising, 38% are exercising less and 43% are eating more, according to new research commissioned by Maxol, which looked at the impact of the pandemic on physical and mental wellbeing. Some 42% said that their mental health had disimproved since the pandemic and mental health charity Aware has confirmed that more than one million people accessed its website and social channels last year for information and support. The charity answered more than 27,000 calls, many from people who were experiencing mental health difficulties for the first time. Leading clinical psychologist, Dr Eddie Murphy, said: “We’ve been living with the pandemic for almost two years, which is a very long time, and our coping mechanisms are suffering from prolonged wear and tear.” For support: www.aware.ie

Stay safe as 199 homes ravaged by fires in Waterford

Fire fighters in Waterford were called out to a total of 199 fires in 2020, prompting calls to check fire alarms in the home. The startling figures come from Government sources which were last updated in September, 2021. And although the advice is to test smoke alarms weekly and carbon monoxide detectors once a month, many Irish households don’t check either of these even once a year. This is according to a new survey from Peopl.ie, provider of home and life insurance, which found that 38% of households haven’t checked their smoke alarm in over a year — if ever, The insurer is urging people throughout Waterford to take five minutes out of their day to run a few checks that could prevent a Christmas or New Year catastrophe — particularly as many of us will be using our gas boilers extensively over the winter period, and Christmas lights and candles commonplace over the holidays. The survey reveals that while 4% of households don’t have a smoke alarm, as many as 22% don’t have a carbon monoxide detector. Commenting on the findings, Paul Walsh, CEO of Peopl Insurance said: “Christmas lights, candles, late nights, and lots of cooking — all ingredients for the fun festivities most Irish house-

holds enjoy this time of year. However, without wanting to sound too like the prophet of doom, they can be also a recipe for disaster in some homes. “In 2020, there were over 5,000 fires attended by the fire brigade in homes around the country — with 199 of these in Co Waterford alone. Chimney fires and hot ashes, electrical issues, cooking and heating appliances, and smoking materials were all primary causes. “People do not always appreciate how quickly a fire can start and how they can become disorientated with the volume of smoke, even from a small fire. If someone is asleep in a room where a fire starts, the chances of coming out of it are very slim without a working smoke alarm. It’s all very well to have a smoke alarm installed but if it’s not working properly, it will not protect you or your family. Mr. Walsh continued: “Carbon monoxide exposure presents a range of dangerous health risks, even death, so it’s startling to find that 22% of people don’t have a monitor or alarm for this gas in their home, and that 4% don’t even know what one is. Six people die in Ireland each year as a result of unintentional poisoning, I think if people knew this, most would see the absolute need for a detector in their home.”

Tammy wins top business award

Waterford entrepreneur Tammy Darcy has been selected from hundreds of entrants as a winner in Visa’s inaugural grant and coaching programme for women entrepreneurs in Ireland. Tammy (pictured) founded The Shona Project in 2016 to educate and empower young girls. During the pandemic, The Shona Project reached over 40,000 girls across Ireland. The organisation is a tribute to Tammy’s sister Shona, who was diagnosed with a brain injury at 15. Speaking about her win, Tammy said: “The Shona Project is scaling very quickly in terms of impact, and to sustain that impact, we need to think, act and operate like any other company with national and international reach. The support of this programme is hugely important to the Shona Project, but also to me personally, as I need the support of other likeminded women . . . we can’t wait to see what the future holds,” she added.

Dogs Trust gets 2,155 Teen online calls to house new pets spending up 184% DOGS Trust, Ireland’s largest dog welfare charity, has revealed that they received 2,155 requests in 2021 from members of the public asking the charity to take their dogs in for rehoming. This is an 82% increase on 2020, when dogs were in huge demand. The most common reason provided for people wanting to relinquish their dog was due to behavioural issues. The charity is particularly concerned since the beginning of the pandemic, when the demand for dogs saw prices soar into the thousands for puppies being sold online. These concerns always rise at this time of year, when people have bought new dogs at Christmas and are struggling to cope within a matter of days. Ciara Byrne, Head of Communications at Dogs Trust Ireland explains: “Sadly, this is the most lucrative time of year for puppy farmers, and we know genuine dog lovers don’t

16-week-old crossbreed puppies who were surrendered to Dogs Trust Ireland at before Christmas want to fuel this vile trade. It’s not just the puppy that you buy that’s affected, it’s the parents of the puppies that are left behind in often appalling conditions that suffer the most and that’s why we launched our End

Puppy Farming campaign in November. We want to show that the public wants to see an end to the horrors these poor dogs endure daily, all in the name of profit.” Dogs Trust are directing

people who want to buy a dog or puppy this year to: www. PetBond.ie which is run by a team of vets. For more information, or to sponsor a dog, go to: DogsTrust. ie/EndPuppyFarming

A rise in spending online among teens has prompted a warning to parents as credit and debit cards come out once more to pay for the extravagant Christmas spending spree. Spending online in the lead-up to Black Friday in November soared 184% among teens, with a 40% increase in online spending recorded among 18-25-year-olds, leading to fears the trend will be repeated over Christmas. Advising online shoppers, Edel McDermott, Head of Fraud at Bank of Ireland said: “Irish consumers are clearly spending more money in 2021 than for the same period in 2020 and a significant proportion of this is being spent online. This increase in online transactions has multiplied opportunities for fraud.” And with a warning aimed at parents, Ms McDermott advised them to “check in with teens and younger members of their household” to ensure they are shopping online securely and that their spending is being monitored closely.

Lidl Dashers raise Listen to €2,700 for charity your gut and stay hydrated Lidl Waterford customer Sile Brennan grabs over €425 worth of goodies in the ‘Trolley Dash’. OVER €2,700 has been raised by Lidl Waterford’s ‘Trolley Dash’ in support of charity partner JIGSAW, the national centre for youth mental health. The fundraising initiative, now in its 7th year, raised over €280,000 across all of Lidl Ireland’s stores. Lidl Waterford customer Sile Brennan managed to grab over €425 worth of goodies making for a Merry Lidl Christmas! For two weeks annually in November, Trolley Dash tickets were sold in Lidl stores for just €1 each, offering customers the chance to win a supermarket sweep style dash around their local nearest Lidl store. Since its inauguration in 2014

the festive fundraiser has raised over €2m. Speaking about the success of this year’s Trolley Dash, Lidl Ireland Head of CSR, Owen Keogh, said: “It’s an incredible milestone to have raised over €280,000 in this year’s Trolley Dash, it’s a fun and festive way to mobilise efforts in support of a super charity. With restrictions over the past two years, looking after local community’s big and small is more important than ever. “The team at Lidl Ireland are heartened by the generosity and that so many customers wanted to contribute to a cause that has a real impact for those looking for support in times of need.”

SO you’ve just managed to squeeze in that bit of pudding and are crawling on all fours towards the couch, wondering where the spritely Christmas you has gone. There is a scientific explantation behind the ‘Christmas Dinner Coma’, and it involves an increase in blood flow to the gut as part of the digestive process, with an associated drop in blood pressure, hence that sleepy feeling. Consultant Gastroenterologist Dr Deirdre O’Donovan said our energy levels are affected by our gut health and while a nap is fine, the concern is the failure to spot an underlying condition. Her advice is to watch your ‘gut health’ over the Christmas period, watch stress levels and hydrate. “It’s been a tough year for everyone,” she says. “It’s easy to drink too much alcohol over Christmas, which can harm the lining of the gut and the balance of bacteria. Staying well hydrated with water can reduce some of this negative effect.”

I’ll make my New Year move when I find this wonderful land

omewhere over the rainbow is a land called Other Jurisdictions. I can’t find it on the map and my satnav is no help, but I intend to keep looking, for it is a wonderful place. Everything in Other Jurisdictions works better than in Ireland, according to some industry representatives, many media commentators and all Sinn Féin spokespersons. The Covid pandemic has been handled much better in Other Jurisdictions. So obviously this outstanding land can’t be in Austria where the government felt obliged to make vaccination mandatory. Or in France where new curfews have been imposed in some cities and very tight restrictions introduced at airports. Covid restrictions are far less severe in Other Jurisdictions, unlike Ireland where the Gov-

Michael Wolsey

ernment, out of pure spite, has decided to destroy the hospitality industry, ruin the life of

entertainers and spoil sport for everyone. So clearly Other Jurisdictions can’t be in Wales where the regional government has ordained that sports events must take place behind closed doors, or in Scotland where Nicola Sturgeon canceled the celebrations for Hogmanay, Scotland’s booziest, grooviest night of the year. But everyone knows why they have handled the pandemic so well in Other Jurisdictions. It’s because their health system is so much better than the poor old HSE. In which case Other Jurisdictions can’t be in Italy where, at one stage, they were treating patients in the car parks of overflowing hospitals. Or in Australia, where the biggest city was sealed off for most of 2021 because its intensive care wards were full. The thing is, they plan everything so much better in Other Jurisdictions. When they make

a decision they stick to it. So obviously Other Jurisdictions can’t be in Sweden where they originally planned to have no Covid restrictions at all but have now introduced rules that are much the same as Ireland’s. Or in neighbouring Denmark,which had announced an end to all Covid curbs but has now closed concert halls, theatres, cinemas, museums, galleries, community centres, zoos, casinos and amusement parks . And you can’t buy alcohol there after 10pm, not even to take away. If you think Other Jurisdictions might be located north of the border, think again. In Northern Ireland, where Sinn Féin is in government, the infection rate has been running at two to three times that of the Republic. The Executive has reluctantly introduced rules similar to those that apply here and may tighten them when they work out what Boris Johnson is doing in England. They could

be waiting a while. In the meantime my hunt for Other Jurisdictions will continue. In that great land they drink less, exercise more and eat better than us poor slobs in Ireland. Their schools are better run, their transport more sustainable, nobody is homeless and people are dancing in the streets, not sleeping on them. But here’s an amazing thing. The United Nations has conducted a survey of 189 countries and decided that Ireland is the world’s second best place to make your home. The UN Human Index report ranked Ireland Very High for quality of life, just ahead of Switzerland, Iceland and Germany. The index is measured by health, education and income. Yes, health. In Ireland life expectancy, for anyone born now, is 82.3 years. The chart topper here is Hong Kong with a life expectancy of 84.9 years. It’s the time of year for such

international stock taking. So here’s another list to ponder. Ireland has been named ‘Best Good Country in the World’ by the Good Country Index which says we have made the greatest contribution to humanity and the planet. The survey ranked 125 countries by combining 35 separate indicators from the United Nations, the World Bank and other international institutions. Ireland topped the league. The UK came seventh. Other Jurisdictions didn’t get a look-in. But surely it must have made that UN table? If Ireland came second, good old OJ must be top of that one. So is my search over? Can I now start packing for my move to Other Jurisdictions? Sadly, no. According to the UN Human Index, the best country in the world is Norway. The hunt for Other Jurisdictions continues. With luck I may have found it by this time next year.

All Department oﬃces, including Intreo Centres, will be closed on Monday 27 December, Tuesday 28 December and Monday 3 January.

Do you check your smoke alarm?

Irish households are dangerously exposed as 4 in 10 rarely or never check their smoke alarm! 29 people died in Ireland as a result of a fire related incident in 2020. And although the advice is to test our smoke alarms weekly and carbon monoxide detectors once a month, many Irish households don’t check either of these even once a year. This is according to a new survey from Peopl.ie, a nationwide provider of home and life insurance, which found that 38% of households haven’t checked their smoke alarm in over a year, if ever, while

this figure soars to 42% when it comes to carbon monoxide detectors. The insurance provider is urging people throughout the country to take 5 minutes out of their day this week to run a few checks that could prevent a Christmas catastrophe, particularly as many of us will be using our gas boilers extensively over the winter period, and Christmas lights and candles will be commonplace in homes the length and breadth of the country in the coming weeks. The survey of 1,000 respondents, conducted

by iReach, revealed that although both preventative tools can be the difference between life or death, most people really give them very little thought – if at all. Commenting on these findings, Paul Walsh, CEO of Peopl Insurance said, “Christmas lights, candles, late nights, and lots of cooking – all ingredients for the fun festivities most Irish households enjoy this time of year. However, without wanting to sound too like the prophet of doom, they can be also a recipe for disaster in some homes.”

Santa’s Little Messengers

history of the week

with Justin Ivory

A Christmas card from 1934 (National Museums Liverpool, accession number 1976.561) Did you ever wonder why there seems to be so many Robins about this time of year and why they are always singing? Well they are Santa’s little messengers and they are singing all the information back to him about how well (or otherwise!) the boys and girls are behaving. About two weeks ago my daughter was reminiscing about all this, how when she was younger and the magic of Santa was still working for her and how she had to be on her best behaviour as the robins seemed to be everywhere watching her and her brother! The association of Robins with Christmas really goes back to Victorian times when the sending of Christmas cards started in 1843, the brainchild of a civil servant, Sir Henry Cole. The postmen of the day wore bright red coats and became known as ‘Robins’ or ‘Redbreasts’. In no time at all Christmas cards started depicting Robins delivering the post to houses! There are also many traditions and stories linking Robins to the Christian faith. It is said a small brown bird tried to keep the baby Jesus warm as he lay in a manger by fanning the flames of a fire with its wings. Some embers from the fire scorched the breast of the bird turning it red for evermore, and thus Robins as we know them were created! Another story tells how a Robin went to comfort Jesus on the cross by singing gently in his ear. He cut himself on a thorn on Jesus’ head and his breast got stained red. As a reminder of that good deed all Robins since have had a red breast. Another variation of this is that the Robin plucked a thorn out of Jesus’ head and got stained with his blood. Whatever your beliefs or traditions, I wish you all a happy and peaceful Christmas.

One Day at a Time Diary 2022 Abby Wynne

the 355 Cinemas Nationwide from January

Beyond 2022 is an all-island and international collaborative research project working to create a virtual reconstruction of the Public Record Office of Ireland, which was destroyed in the Civil War on June 30th, 1922. The ‘Record Treasury’ at the Public Record Office of Ireland stored seven centuries of Irish records dating back to the time of the Normans and what was lost in that terrible fire one hundred years ago is now being brought online in time for the centenary of the Four Courts blaze on June 30th, 2022. In the meantime, have a look at the progress and discover more about the fascinating project.

ABBY Wynne’s One Day at a Time Diary 2022 is both a practical diary that provides space to write down your stuff, and an inspirational workbook that is filled with uplifting affirmations and space to journal your thoughts and emotions. Drawing on information from astrologers, the diary will support you through the energy shifts of the coming year through monthly themes, exercises and affirmations, if that’s your bag. And why not? This diary provides the tools and support to enable you to slow down, step out of time and reconnect for the year ahead.

THE world is in trouble. A deadly weapon has fallen into the wrong hands! Mercenary hands! The world needs to be saved! We’ve heard it all before! Well, kind of. Move out of the way Bond, Men from UNCLE, Kingsmen etc etc, this time around it’s up to a female CIA agent to pair up with other international agents to save the world and recruit some top female leads. Jessica Chastain first proposed the idea for a female-led spy film back in 2018 and she stars alongside Marion Cotillard, Penélope Cruz, Diane Kruger, Fan Bingbing and Lupita Nyong’o. There is one bloke in it, Edgar Ramirez, but quite what he’s doing there is anyone’s guess.

THE Byrdes family journey — what’s left of it — is coming to an end in 2022 with the first half of the two-part final season arriving in January. If you haven’t watched it yet, then you have the chance to catch up early in the new year and we highly recommend you do — especially if you thought you’d had a dysfunctional family Christmas. Bet you didn’t get involved in laundering drug money for a Mexican cartel? We’ve followed the family all the way, and every season they’ve dug themselves deeper and deeper into the hole they’ve dug for themselves, so here’s to seeing just how deep that hole really is.

THE RTÉ Choice Music Prize will return in 2022 as one of the music industry’s biggest nights, will be back in Vicar St on Thursday 3rd March and celebrated in an exclusive live broadcast on RTÉ 2FM, along with a TV-special on RTÉ2 later that month. The Choice Music Prize key dates include: Irish Album of the Year 2021 Shortlist Announcement – Wednesday 5th January; Irish Song of the Year 2021 Shortlist Announcement, Wednesday 26th January. Both the Irish Album and Song of the Year 2021 will be announced live in Vicar St. (Pictured is last year’s winner, Denise Chaila)

FORMER Waterford hurler Maurice Shanahan and Dublin Ladies Senior Footballer Nicole Owens are lending their support to Talking Depression, a new campaign to encourage open conversations as new research reveals that almost half of Irish adults (47%) do not feel equipped to have a conversation with a family member or friend who they suspect may be experiencing a mental illness, despite almost two thirds (62%) having more empathy towards mental illnesses, such as depression, compared with before the pandemic. The campaign is in tandem with a new book, The Little Book of Big Conversations.

STARRING Ben Affleck, Lily Rabe, Tye Sheridan and Christopher Lloyd, The Tender Bar is about a neighbourhood pub in Manhasset, Long Island which becomes a second home for a fatherless boy. Directed by George Clooney, it follows JR, whose father disappeared from his life before he was old enough to speak, and he moves into his grandfather’s dilapidated house after he and his mother once again hit hard times only to discover friends in a local bar. You do worry that Affleck has done a lot of boozy movies of late, but this is a little gem.

So if you’ve had too much pudding and gin and beer and wine and chocolate . . . the last thing you need is a heavy dose of politics and grim predictions for 2022, right? Wrong. Roll up to your desk, grab your phone or one of the kids’ new tablets and have a little gander on this authority’s predictions for the year ahead. And actually, there is much to cheer about. Vaccines will get better and Covid will weaken; Brazil’s election offers hope for the rainforest; hybrid work is on the up; world poverty will fall; and Donald Trump is coming back.

In Loving Memory

Birthday & Christmas Remembrance LARRY & PAUL HAYES

Birthday and Christmas Remembrance of my dear husband Larry, whose birthday occurs on the 19th of December and Christmas Remembrance of a dear son Paul. I wish you were here today even for just a little while, So I could say Happy Birthday Larry and see your beautiful smile, The only gifts today will be the gifts you left behind, The laughter, joy and happiness, precious memories, the best kind, Today I’ll do my very best to try and find a happy place, Struggling to hide my heavy heart and the tears on my face, I’ll sit quietly and look at your picture thinking of you with love, Hoping you’re doing ok in Heaven up above, May the angels hold you close and sing you a happy song, And I’ll be sending wishes to you today and all year long. There is a bridge of memories from here to Heaven above, It keeps us very close to you, it’s called the bridge of love, If memories bring us closer, then we are never far apart, God has you in His keeping, we have you in our hearts with love. Our loving thoughts are with you Larry, as life goes on its way, We will always think about you, with love on this sad day, To us you were someone special, we thought the world of you, We have some lovely memories, but we wish we still had you. Memory land is a beautiful place, where thoughts are fond and true, I travel down that road and always think of you Larry, No matter how my life has changed, or whatever I may do, I will never forget those special years, the ones I spent with you. - Missing you is a heartache that never goes away, our third Christmas without you, your heartbroken wife Nora xxx Nothing on earth can ever replace the sound of your voice, The smile on your face, no verse, no flowers, no tears can say, How much we love and miss you, today and everyday. - Merry Christmas Paul, sadly missed by his loving Mum, sister Madeline, brother Raymond, brother-in-law, sister inlaw, nieces and nephews Dad, Have you ever lost a Dad, who meant the world to you, The one you loved so much, and

miss him like I do, If you never had that feeling, then I pray you never do, For when God takes your Dad, he takes a part of you, The photographs we treasure, are all we have to touch, Of a Dad I loved with all my heart, and miss so very much, Next time I see you Dad, will be at Heaven’s door, And when I see you standing there, I won’t cry anymore, I will put my arms around you, and kiss your smiling face, Then the pieces of my broken heart, will fall back into place. - From your son Raymond & Jennifer 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 & tears, For us who thought so much of you, they were our happiest years Nothing can replace you, Dad, nothing ever will, In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still, The precious year won’t come again, when we were all together, But the love & joy you gave to us, will stay with us forever. - From your daughter Madeleine& son-in-law Tony 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 your grandchildren, Nicole, Craig, Reece, Dale, Lauren, Paul & Ethan, and great grandchildren Lara and Frankie. God looked around his garden, and saw an empty space, He then looked down from Heaven. and saw your tired face, He wrapped his arms around you, and whispered Come to rest, His garden must be beautiful, Larry, because He only takes the best. - From Jane, Patrick, Ryan and Siobhan

Christmas Remembrance SEÁN AND PATRICIA LYNAGH

New Ross seniors What a great finale we had to our golfing season last Thursday when we ran a charity day in aid of St Vincent De Paul which raised a grand total of €450. Not alone that, but in the golfing arena we had one of the greatest finishes of recent years when no less than six teams finished with deadheats, and single points between the teams in the shake-up, another dream result for the handicapper. In dry weather, but with heavy underfoot conditions, dead air, and no run on the ball, scoring was hard enough to come by, and tallies were down on recent weeks. Nevertheless, some teams coped better than others and these were the ones who figured in the final shake-up. Coming home in first place by a single point with a total of 102 was the team skippered by one Eddie Keher (16), with Willie Wallace (23), Denis Murphy (24) and Paddy Bennett (27). (I wonder did Eddie convert a few vital frees as he did in years gone by on other sporting fields?) After that first prize was confirmed, the tallyman was in a bit of a dilemma as three teams finished on 101 points. However, the better back nine (52/48) gave second prize to Andy Ronan (20), Steve Travis (21), Aidan O Connor (24) and Lar Miskella (40).
