Dingle Notes Richie Williams EVENTS. Ongoing concerns over increasing covid virus numbers and restrictions arising from same results in many annual events in the Peninsula being cancelled again this year. The Dingle Marathon organisers have now transferred the names all those registered for the 2020 and 2021 Full and Half events to their 2022 dates which means all intending participants will not have to go through the registration process again. Further details available by emailing run@ dinglemarathon.ie. The Dingle Race Committee and the Regatta Committee have already announced their respective programmes will not go ahead this year. The Dingle Food Festival have a few more weeks to decide if the Feile Bia programme or any part thereof will be possible to organise in the current climate. Blas Na hEireann Food Awards will be held and entries are already well under way in most of the categories for the coveted Blas Award Badges. FREE HISTORICAL TOWN TOURS. Dingle Peninsula Tourism have hit on a real winner with their Free Morning Guided Historical Walks around town 3 mornings a week. The tours which take 1 hour to complete must be prebooked due to limited numbers under covid guidelines and start from the Fungie Statue at 8.45a.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. Further details on www.dingle-peninsula.ie. SERVICES. While browsing through our last edition I noted a number of interesting additions to the ever expanding range of services and opportunities in our town and indeed throughout the Peninsula. An Diseart have attracted Marys Wild Joys Greetings Card Exhibition to the Gazebo Garden Gallery with full details at www.haiga.ie. The Dingle Art School run by Anne Lundon is now based in An Diseart open weekdays between 10a.m. and 1p.m with prior booking available from 0857035677. Dingle Tasting Tours provide a great opportunity to sample some of the best food and beverages the town has to offer. Booking is essential through 0852609824 or info@dingletastingtour.ie. TIDY TOWNS. Despite the lockdowns and covid restrictions our volunteers have got through an amount of work over the past few months. The flower and shrub beds and tubs have all been replanted and repainted where necessary.

The Mall Statues got their annual facelift and the plague containing the names of those who died in the 1916 Rising in this area has been reengraved to ensure the names are clearly legible to the human eye again. On closer inspection it is now very noticable that all the inscriptions are compleded in the traditional Irish lettering style. Both Proclamation slabs have been reset to ensure the rust staining thereon can be contained. Great work by John Herlihy from Camp ( Atlantic Headstones Kerry) and Padraig McKenna Builder from Cooleen. The exterior walls at Milltown Graveyard have been repainted and approach fences nicely trimmed thanks to the Milltown Meitheal. Unfortunately our usual fundraising sources have dried up since covid took over our lives last year( Quiz Nights, Church Gate Collections and events) so funds are now pretty low with insurance premiums and equipment maintenance costs due shortly. Donations would be much appreciated and will be graciously accepted by committee members or our volunteers. SLAN TAMALL!!!.
Open: Mon - Sat, 7am - 5pm Large selection of cakes, confectionery, sandwiches, hot pies, sausage rolls, teas, coffees etc. Wide selection of breads

Danger Money – Dráma le John McManus Dráma á léamh ag an scríbhneoir John McManus Award winning playwright John Mc Manus will deliver a performed reading of his play “Danger Money” – “a beautiful ‘close-up’ of rural Irish life”, full of heartache and humour. The story is told by Teddy ‘the Mucker’ Tucker who emigrated to London, it was only ever meant to be a stepping stone for him but somehow he stayed there for over thirty years. Until one day he abruptly abandoned his friends and his job and returned home to North Leitrim. Where we find him with a lot on his mind: Why did he ever come back to Leitrim? why did that Danny fella ever leave Ventry? why does'nt his landlord take a drink? are dead people flying around as birds? should snakes receive the Free Travel Pass? who puts plasterboard on a shower? why is he gathering turf in the bog when when he does'nt have a fireplace?.

Are We There Yet, Are We There Yet? Good Food On The Go! Irene Ní Fhlannúra
sickness poses a problem - add some slivers of fresh ginger to your water or herbal tea and sip regularly. Nibbling on crystallized ginger pieces can also keep motion sickness at bay. Sugary, fizzy drinks are a definite no-no when travelling. Not only can they upset the stomach, they can upset the whole family. The sugar rush from a bottle of fizz can drive small ones into hyper-mode, not a good idea when confined to a small space! The downer that comes after the sugar high can cause fatigue, crankiness, impatience and energy slumps - a sure way to ruin that holiday buzz! The same goes for most sugary snacks and sweets - so best to keep these for wide open spaces and always to a minimum. Children's menus are slowly improving but many restaurants continue to offer only junk food to young diners. In a country where we take so much pride in our food and have a choice of great ingredients, a little imagination and consideration for our young diners would be greatly appreciated and welcomed by children and parents alike. Enjoy your holidays! Irene Ní Fhlannúra (Flannery), Nutritional Therapist at www.omnom.ie Nutrition Consultations, Weight Loss Plans & Food Intolerance Testing available in-person (in Dingle) and online. 086 1662562
Make a wish, set a goal, get a plan..make it happen! You have packed the bags and are ready to hit the road, hoping that you have thought of everything. Adding food to the pack list might tip you over the edge yet leaving food to chance could be even riskier. Having just arrived in Donegal after a seven hour journey, with my family, without planning our food stops we would have hardly made Galway! Finding healthy food stops on the go can be challenging but with a little forward planning can become part of the fun of being on holidays. Sadly, most roadside dining options are crammed with junk food and many families have little option but to pay dearly for deep fried junk which is neither nourishing or good value. The problems associated with a diet of processed foods, fake meat, white bread products, sugary drinks and snacks are well documented - so why not take a holiday from junk food this Summer and discover a wide range of meals for wheels which are good for you and good for your pocket! A cooler box is a must for travelling by car, especially with young children. A picnic in the open air or a playground is a great opportunity to get fresh air and a chance for small ones to run off some of the pent-up energy after being couped up inside a car for a few hours. Prepare food for the cooler as close to departure time as possible to maximize freshness. Wholegrain wraps or pitta pockets filled with real chicken, turkey or roast meat slices, cheese or hummus - adding some torn salad leaves and grated carrots gives texture and flavour to this handy snack. Go easy on mayonnaise as it doesn't travel well and like many dairy products (milk and yogurts) can contribute to travel sickness. Other ideas for dashboard dining include potato omelette cut into wedges and whole rye crackers with peanut butter - slice a banana on top of this when serving. Cold rice and pasta salads travel well but don't forget to pack some forks!

Fruit cut into bite size pieces can be prepared before setting off and put into individual tubs for easy distribution. You will get a lot of mileage from a pineapple and a watermelon as well as other fruits such as kiwi, grapes, peaches and berries. Apples and pears are a handy snack at anytime during your trip. You can also make your own trail mix which will provide slow release energy during long drives. Toast sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, cashew nuts and almonds on a baking sheet in a hot oven for 5-7 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Add a selection of dried fruits such as mango, apricot, raisins and dried banana chips - toss them together and store in an airtight container or individual little bags. With GPS and Google maps it is easy to locate and plan the perfect pitstop before setting off on your journey. Farmers' Markets also provide a healthier, fresher choice of fare for the whole family and offer better value than many family roadside eateries. Again, you can Google to get days and times of markets along your route. It is important that you spend sometime out of the car in the fresh air, both for the children and adults alike. Do include plenty water for the journey. Travelling by car can leave you dehydrated much quicker than you would think. Fatigue is one of the main symptoms of dehydration so top up regularly with fresh water or cooled herbal or fruit teas. Add a good squeeze of lemon or orange to your flask for a refreshing drink that will keep you feeling alert. If travel 10 Corca Dhuibhne Beo

Dem bones dem bones need calcium…. Vitamin d and physical activity! Bones give our bodies structure, protection and very importantly store calcium. Calcium is needed for the healthy functioning of heart, muscles, blood and nerves.
MORAN'S Morans Tyre Centre
By not having enough calcium in your diet, the body draws the calcium from your bones, causing them to become weak and brittle. This is known as osteoporosis, which can lead to bones breaking very easily. The stronger your bones are the less likely you are to develop osteoporosis.

Things all of us, of any age can do to improve bone health-Improve calcium intake either by diet (ideally) or supplements to strengthen bones. Found commonly in milk, cheese, yogurt, eggs, fish, nuts and seeds, certain fruits and meat, tofu, chickpeas and soyabeans…. A multitude of options to suit your dietary beliefs and preferences! -Adequate vitamin D intake. It helps improve absorption of calcium from the gut. We are exposed to it from the sun. Just a few minutes a day sunshine exposure is usually adequate (not forgetting to be sun safe!). In Ireland, vitamin d supplements are recommended from Hallowe’een until St Patricks day for everybody. Some need to take vit d every day, babies, those who work indoors, pregnancy, elderly, darker skinned Vehicle Testing for all Light Commercial Vehicles people are just some examples.

Farming News Louis Murchan FARM SAFETY WEEK With farm traffic on the road at its peak, this being silage season, and the weather being so good, the risks to farmers and all road users increases this time of year. This is the time to be vigilant and everyone must be cognisant of the dangers. The public must also be reminded that this is an very important time of year for the farming community, and the experienced traffic on the roads is essential and unavoidable. Patience is urged. And road users are asked to be aware that delays will occur. Tractor and machinery drivers are also asked to be considerate, especially in the West Kerry area, which is now awash with tourists. This brings us to the week in hand, which is designated Farm Safety Week, and it is being put out there by the minister responsible, Martin Heydon, who has a passion for the topic, as he is a survivor of a serious farm accident, in the past. While there are many risks in farming, farming does not have to be a dangerous occupation. Behavioural change is what is required to prevent many accidents. It is a case of being aware of the risks and taking the time to do what is necessary to minimise them. There are plenty of ways to reduce the risk, without spending huge money. The first of these is to complete a Farm Risk Assessment. This also means undertaking a detailed and honest appraisal of the safety risks on your farm. When doing a risk assessment, you should get someone in to do the risk assessment with you. Fresh eyes will see risks that you have become accustomed too and no longer realise are present. Once the risk assessment has been completed, you need to start continuously working to remove and contain all of the risks. To date this year there have been three fatal incidents on Irish farms, while on average over the last 10 years, there have been 21 fatal incidents on our farms each year. Now is the time to redouble our efforts in relation to safety, to continue to reduce the risk and to work towards the behavioural change that is required to keep the rate of fatal incidents down”. No individual action or organisation can solve this difficult problem that impacts so negatively on so many lives each year. We must all work together and review our attitude to safety on our farms”. Farmers need to be reminded to think ‘am I doing enough’ to ensure there are no incidents on their own farm – it is through farmers taking individual action that the number of farm incidents will be reduced”. Farm safety is an ongoing issue and it is important that farmers think Safety First in all the tasks they perform, no matter the pressure. DEADLINE FOR ON-LINE ORGANIC MANURE MOVEMENT SYSTEM EXTENDED The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine are announcing that the deadline of 1 July for mandatory use of the Department’s on-line system to record the movement of organic manures is now extended to 1 September 2021. The on-line system updates and from 1 September replaces the previous method of submitting paper Record 3 Forms. Farmers are reminded that the deadline to declare movements is 31 October 2021 for those who applied for a Nitrates derogation, and 31 December 2021 for all other farmers. The on-line system for recording movements of organic manures will also update the Departments Nitrates & Phosphorus Statements for each farmer periodically though the year to allow them see the effect an export/import has on their overall (cattle only) N&P levels. A short video demonstrating how to use the system is now available on the Department’s website here: https://www.gov.ie/en/publication/c9563-rural-environment-sustainabilitynitrates/#nitrates-records The Department of Agriculture, Food & the Marine has also announced that Nitrogen and Phosphorus statements (N&P Statements) for January to May 2021 (cattle only) are now available on the Department’s online system www.agfood.ie. These statements are particularly useful to allow farmers to plan for the coming year and to ensure compliance with the limits of the Nitrates
14 Corca Dhuibhne Beo
Regulations, thus avoiding penalties for breaching the limits of 170 kgs of Nitrogen per hectare or the limit for those who hold an approved derogation is 250 kgs of Nitrogen per hectare . SHEEP NOTES GRASSLAND: June and July are probably the most challenging months for keeping grass leafy and highly digestible. Encouraging leafy growth and suppressing stem is key to achieving high levels of animal performance off grass swards in addition to setting them up for the autumn. In rotationally grazed swards, aim to allow lambs into grass heights of around 8cm and move them on once sward height reaches 6cm (i.e., post-grazing sward height of 6cm). For set stocking situations aim to keep sward height at around 7-8cm for July. Once lambs are moved out of swards it is essential that they are grazed out fully to maintain grass quality into August/September. Because the lambs will be moved out of swards at around 6cm it is necessary to get other stock to graze out the sward fully (down to 4cm). If there is no stock on the farm that can do this job, then the sward will need to be mowed/topped down to 4-5cm. Much of the topping carried out on farms is cosmetic, as the blades of the topper/mower are set too high. In order to be effective the topping should remove as much stemmy material as possible. The topper should be set to remove all grass above 4.5cm. REPLACEMENTS: Weaning time is the best time to select replacements from the flock. Maintaining a closed flock has advantages in terms of reducing the risk of buying in disease, so it makes sense to keep your own replacements. If potential ewe lambs have been identified at birth, then weaning time is the ideal opportunity to go through these and pick out the best ones. However, even where this has not happened it is still a good idea to go through the ewe lambs at weaning time. It is not terribly important if they are singles or twins (but there is an advantage in picking well grown twins). What is important is that their dam did a good job rearing them. It is also important to keep enough replacements. As a general rule, 25% is a good number as it allows for culling of some inferior hoggets later on. WEANING: The optimum age to wean lambs at is 100 days or 14 weeks. Therefore, July is the optimum time for most mid-March lambing flocks to wean their lambs. Keeping the lambs on the ewes any longer will not benefit either ewe or lamb performance. Weaning allows the best grass on the farm to be offered to the lambs without them having to compete with the ewes. Weaning also allows the ewes to recuperate and regain body weight in anticipation of the next breeding season. The target weaning weight for lambs sired by terminal sire breeds is 34kg. It is a good idea to weigh a proportion of your lambs to see how they compare. If lambs are significantly below this target the possible reasons for this should be investigated. Potential reasons are: poor grassland management; poor ewe condition at/post lambing; disease/parasites; and, poor genetics in ewe/ram flocks. Consider putting a plan in place to rectify any issues for next year. FLUKE TESTING FOR BEEP-S SCHEME With the Beef Environmental Efficiency Programme-Suckler (BEEP-S) scheme now well underway, the Irish Equine Centre is a DAFM approved lab for faecal egg testing under Action 3 of the scheme. The farmer simply calls the Irish Equine Centre on 045 866 266 to request a BEEP-S testing kit and makes the required payment of €28 (including VAT) to cover the cost of the sampling kit and the test. A kit will be sent out in the post which will include 10 sample pots, a Ziploc bag and a submission form. Farmers are required to submit one fresh faecal sample per cow from 10 cows which will be pooled into a single batch sample for testing. If a farmer has less than 10 eligible cows they must still submit 10 samples in order to comply with the conditions of the scheme. Samples can be posted or delivered back to the IEC. Samples are tested for the presence of both liver and rumen fluke eggs. Results will be emailed to the herd owner and to the Department of Agriculture. Additional testing on bovine samples is also available for lungworm and /or a worm egg count (at an extra cost). SUSTAINABLE INNOVATION PROJECT ON THE DINGLE PENINSULA This is a locally driven agricultural project, coordinated by a number of innovative farmers, advisory services, Kerry Agri-Business and Net Feasa among others. They are looking for 30 willing farmers to participate in the Pilot project to test on-farm sensor technology. On-farm sensor technology will be tested on-site, which will capture real-time data on the farms, with the aim of improving environmental metrics and precision management
Participants will follow a defined framework incorporating the following elements:
Pat Hanafin
a) installation of sensors, b) data capture of a range of measurements, c) data analysis, d) interpretation and use of the data in decision-making and e) clear before- and after- measurements indicating degree of improvement in parameters.
Septic Tank Emptying & Drain Cleaning
and also in reducing labour demand.
Testing will be carried out on Milk production, Grass management parameters (PastureBaseIreland), Weather parameters (air and soil temperature, wind speed, rainfall), Soil moisture and Slurry production. The objectives of the project are to lead and support a move towards more sustainable farming systems through the use of technology and eventually reduce costs and improve margins.
With over 30 years in business providing a Septic Tank Cleaning Service in the Dingle Peninsula, we now provide DRAIN CLEANING. From 2” sink lines to 4” - 12” sewer pipes. Biocycle tanks filter system,washed after emptying. Providing power washing service and washing facility. 24 hour cover.
This will all result in identifying whether progress is made in areas such as Milk Production, extending Grazing season, grass production and quality, improvements in soil fertility, reduction I fertilizer usage and utilisation of clover, all of which should result in reduced costs and higher productivity and profits. The benefits of all this are that farmers will be able to optimise their output, reduce risks to the environment, and show farmers how key impact decisions can and will affect their farming enterprise from an operational and profitability point of view. Information available on www.dinglepeninsula2030.com or interested farmers can contact Tom Fitzgerald on 0879583957. To register your interest in this project email tom@dinglehub.com or call Dingle Hub on 066 9150140. Closing date for applications is Friday 23rd July.

What Are You Drinking With That?
your orange juice a little exciting and have it in the form of a mimosa?! Prosecco and orange juice – a failsafe.
The Juice Press
Speaking of cocktails, juice is a great addition to many alcohols. We’ve mentioned mimosas, but elderflower cordial or other cordials can also be added to prosecco to add a little ‘something’. Or try a dash of cordial in your gin and tonic to really jazz it up. Equally, they can be added to sparkling water to create a unique beverage with extra flavour. Of course, we can’t talk about juice and alcohol without mentioning the classic cocktail! There are endless choices when it comes to these, from porn-star martinis with their strong passion fruit flavours, to sex on the beach, full of delicious tropical fruit. Perhaps the most recognizable “food friendly” cocktail is the Bloody Mary with anything breakfast/brunch orientated. If any of these sound like your thing, be sure and check out Dingle Cocktails, who offer a brilliant selection available at The Dingle Pub or in bottles ready-made to take home with you. And, for an interesting spin on the Bloody, use Dingle Original Gin in place of vodka (known as a Red Snapper)!
When we think of juice, it may be tempting to jump right to the ‘juice cleaners’ or ‘juice diets’ or the basic orange juice with your breakfast. But there is so much more to the world of juice than that! Certainly, a good juice packed full of fruits and vegetables is hard to beat when you’re craving something healthy and refreshing, and we all need that every now and then! There are some local spots doing these juices really well – like Juice for Thought and Seed & Soul in Dingle town. Seed & Soul also do wonderful smoothie bowls, which, it can be argued is a juice in itself! If you’re looking for a way to incorporate more fruit and vegetables into your diet, this is a great place to start, and these two businesses are serving them up in delicious ways so be sure and check them out! Moving on from juices on their own, an undeniable food and juice pairing is fruit juices with breakfast foods. As we mentioned, orange juice is probably the classic juice for breakfast. Whether you’re having a full Irish, a bowl of cereal, a slice of toast, an omelette – a glass of orange will pair with them all! And if orange juice isn’t quite your thing – try apple or cranberry or something more exotic like grapefruit or pineapple – they should all go down well! And, before we leave the topic of breakfast, why not make
Milltown/ Castlemaine GAA Condolences: Eileen O’Connor. All at Milltown/Castlemaine GAA Club would like to offer our most sincere condolences to the family and friends of Eileen (Eilo) O’Connor who passed away last Tuesday morning. Many of you will know Eileen’s daughter Adele O’Dwyer who is the founder of our fabulous Mothers and Others Group at our club amongst many other things. Our thoughts and prayers are with Adele, her husband Jimmy, Aisling and Connor as well as Eileen’s husband Noel at this time. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam Bernie Griffin. Our sincerest condolences to the family and friends of Bernie Griffin nee Parker of Fenit and the Plough Bar, Milltown. Bernie hosted our Lotto draw on numerous occasions and also a race night for our club. Bernie was laid to rest last Tuesday morning and will be sadly missed by our club and community.

While some are nice to sip on before a meal, certain cocktails can also be a good accompaniment to food, as they will have slightly higer acidity because of the juice in them. The acidity will help to ‘cut through’ and balance fatty elements of dishes and make the overall experience delightful! Other ‘juices’ to consider pairing with food are ciders. A glass of cider pairs beautifully with seafood or cheeses like brie and cheddar. This may sound unusual, but give it a go and see what we’re talking about! Hardly a complete tertius on the world of juice and food, but at least a beginning. An extremely diverse category of beverages, juices are surely something to try out with your next meal, whether it’s a fruit juice, a cocktail or a glass of cider. They’ll all offer something to enhance your dining experience. As always, please drink responsibly and never – EVER – drive after drinking. Sláinte mhaith duit fhéin agus dod’ chlann. Cheers.
defensive play, tackling, passing and scoring on a very warm evening at the Track in Killorglin on Wednesday. This was the 5th game between our neighbours Laune Rangers GAA and our Milltown/ Castlemaine Gaa Club across the last 8 days with some fantastic games between the two clubs involving our Juniors, U11 Boys, U10 Girls, U9 Boys and U8 Girls over the past week. Great to see such fantastic enthusiasm for the game in Mid Kerry as always at all age levels and wonderful to have football back at all age levels. Well done to our U15 Green Team who won the Division 2 Shield semi final on Wednesday evening against St Michaels Foilmore. With our Milltown/ Castlemaine team on top form they took a good lead into the second half of 3-11 to 1-03. The second half brought more strong play from our U15s as they went on to win 5-17 to 1-07 and book a final spot against Rathmore later this week. Our U15 White Team also had a semi final on Friday evening against a very strong Ballymac side in Div 10 of this years County League. Although our Milltown/Castlemaine side worked hard and played some fantastic football they were to just miss out on the night. Well done to the players and their coaches on a fantastic run of performances in this years county league. Well done to our U10 Girls teams who were out again against Scartaglen on a very sunny Saturday morning again both teams played some fantastic football showing some brilliant defensive work and incredible accuracy in front of the goal. Our U13 Green Team were just pipped at the post as they say against Ballyduff on Sunday evening in the County League Phase 2 match. The sides were all square at the first water break, our visiting side led by a point at half time and by a point at the second water break only for the home side to grab the win with a last gasp green flag. Our U13 showed excellent skill, commitment and guile throughout the contest which could not have
been any tighter. Field Development Project: There has been fantastic progress in our field development project in the past week with the concrete works on the stand nearing completion, being expertly done by Denis O’Riordan and his company FRC. It is our hope that the seats for the stand will be installed in the next 2/3 weeks. We would like to say a huge thank you to Padraig Clifford & Sons Power Washing who kindly washed down the containers for our socialisation area, a fantastic job and if you need their services you can contact Padraig on 0876777154. This week also saw the laying of the astro turf sections of our walkway and at the entry points to the field including the dugout areas. All Ireland Minor Final: Well done the Cillian Burke and his teammates on reaching the 2020 All Ireland Minor Final. It wasn’t to be on the day but all here at Milltown/Castlemaine GAA Club are incredibly proud of our club member Cillian Burke and his achievements along with his fellow Kerry players over the past year. Senior Team: Sponsored by Almas Takeaway & Bathrooms 4U Senior Round Up: Senior: There was a fantastic win for our senior team away to Brosna on Saturday evening keeping them in the hunt to make the play off in Division 3. Well done to the whole panel and their coaching team led by David Heasman. The score 1-10 to 11 points in favour of our visiting side with Duagh to come in the final game whilst Brosna will travel to Laune Rangers with it all to play for. Junior: Our Junior Team had another great win at home to Keel on Tuesday evening with a fantastic performance particularly in the second half our junior side where in great scoring form. The final score reading 4-16 to 1-07 andf leaving our juniors in a three way tie on six points at the top.

YOUR MONEY MATTERS FINANCIAL ADVICE COLUMN Q&A
Cost Saving Energy Tips at home Comhar Chreidmheasa Chorca Dhuibhne Q: I’ve been hearing a lot of talk about saving energy in the home and I’d be interested in some tips on how I can do this and save money at the same time. What would you advise? A: You can reduce your energy consumption and save money on your energy bills at the same time. Firstly, you should shop around. Switching your gas and electricity providers only takes a matter of minutes and the average consumer can save around €300 by switching from standard tariffs to the cheapest on the market. For accredited price comparison websites go to www.bonkers.ie or www.switcher.ie. Secondly, you should try to reduce your usage. Remember to switch off all appliances when not in use, whether it’s the microwave or the TV, and make sure to switch them off fully and not just leave them on standby. This could save up to 20% of your appliances’ energy use, or between €50 and €100 a year on an average household electricity bill.
Taking out a loan when you’re a First Time Borrower Heating & Insulation: This takes up a huge proportion of our energy bills so conserving heat will save you money. Aim for 20°C in your living areas and 15Ǧ18°C in hallways and bedrooms. You can reduce your heating bill by 10% by turning down the heat by one degree. By insulating your attic you can cut your energy bill by 20%. Install a lagging jacket and you can save up to €2.50 per week in heating water costs. Have your boiler serviced once a year to ensure it is operating efficiently.
If you’ve never taken out a loan before in any Doors & Windows: Seal off your windows and doors to prevent heat loss due to draughts. Close financial institution, you may think you have a doors to rooms that are not used often and keep your curtains closed at night, even in empty rooms. Kitchen: This is theexperience room in the house where ahead we consume the energy but there are lots of ways daunting ofmostyou. Fear not! It’s to cut back. You should only put as much water as you need in the kettle, so if you’re only making a cup of tea, don’t kettle to the top. Electric ovens are expensive run, so where possible keep the oven door not asfill thecomplicated as you tomay have thought. closed during cooking. Use a toaster instead of a grill to make toast at a fifth of the cost. When buying new appliances choose the most efficientconsider model you can afford. taking out a loan it is But before you Bathroom: It costs the same amount of money to heat the water for one bath as it does for 5 showers, important so save money and take that showers! you make sure you can afford yourself a favour and save money and energy at the same time! These are just the main examples of toDomoney pay back what you borrow. Be realistic with saving tips but there are others, such as replacing your light bulbs with low energy bulbs, which use about 5 times less electricity than a normal bulb, and you could also consider getting a night saver metre yourself about your living costs, making sure that and installing an electricity monitor to find out which gadgets are using the most electricity.

The first thing you should do is to look at your budget and calculate how much you can afford to repay each week or each month. You should also allow some leeway for unexpected costs. You should ask yourself how much do you need to borrow and how much can you afford to repay. Remember that credit always comes at a cost and you will pay interest on what you borrow, so don’t be tempted to take on more debt than you need to or can afford to repay. If you do run into problems with repayments, your credit history may be affected and this could cause you problems borrowing in the future. You also need to consider how long you should borrow for. The longer your loan lasts, the more it will cost you in interest, so don’t borrow for longer than you need to. Most financial institutions have loan calculators with a sliding scale on their websites so you can calculate weekly or monthly repayments over various timescales online before applying for a loan. The importance of flexibility: Flexibility is extremely important when choosing a financial provider and the more flexibility built into your loan, the better, in case your circumstances change. Choose a loan provider who will give you the flexibility to alter your repayment options without a penalty, whether it is to extend your repayments over a longer period, if, for example you are made redundant or become ill, or to pay off your loan early without a fee or to increase the amount you repay each week or month and thus reduce the length of the term of the loan.
Chreidmheasa Chorca Dhuibhne, we are always available to talk and to give advice to you about your borrowing needs, and remember that you also have the option of going the online route if you prefer by sending in your application through our website or our App. Please note that we also have a special reduced First Time Borrower’s Loan rate that you may wish to avail of. You can scan the code below for more information. To get a credit union loan, you first need to be a member of a credit union. Becoming a member probably sounds like extra hassle you don’t need, but in fact it’s a very straightforward, quick and easy process. In most cases, as soon as you are a member you can apply for a loan.

If you apply for a loan through your local credit union, you can be assured of an open-minded, honest and transparent process. Credit unions will always give you a fair hearing. Our loan officers take the time to understand the wideranging reasons behind each and every loan application and will do their utmost to approve the loan. The process of taking out a credit union loan is a lot simpler and quicker than you may have thought. We will require certain documents from you, such as proof of income, but you can check out the documents required on our website (cccdteo.com) or you can phone (066-9151919) or email us (eolas@cccdteo.ie) with any queries. Hopefully you will have our decision on your application within a few days, and we approve 97% of loan applications. There are of course circumstances where a credit union may not be able to grant the borrower the full amount they requested. This is because credit unions are ethical lenders and will never approve a loan that will put financial strain on a member and cause them stress. In this situation, credit union loan officers will go above and beyond to try and grant as close to the desired figure as possible. Be sensible and only borrow what you need and what you can afford to repay!

Once you have done your research, and have established your own repayment capacity, and have decided which financial provider suits your needs the best, you can then apply for your loan. Most financial institutions have the facility to apply for a loan online, but some people may prefer to call in and talk to someone first about their options, which may be a good idea if it’s your first loan.

A History of Cumann Bádóirí Naomh Bhréanainn Dingle Sailing Club (Part One: 1987 – mid 1990s) John O’Connor - with contributions from Ann Curran and Brian Farrell. In the years prior to the emergence of Dingle Sailing Club, a local man, Jim Long, was regularly seen sailing his wooden punt in the harbour with a makeshift sail and a sculling oar for a rudder; Jim was one of the last old timers from the days of the sailing nobbies, working fishing boats, which speckled the harbour and bay in the first half of the 20th century. Leisure sailing wasn’t happening in Dingle - apart from Jim and the occasional visiting yacht which would be berthed on the east side of the fishing pier – until the formation of the sailing club in 1986 (the club was launched in 1987). Dr Finbarr O’Shea, John Greaney and John O’Connor (The Wood), were the first members to explore the idea and following a series of public meetings, more troops were shanghaied: Eileen Galvin, Ann Curran, Joan Rohan, and Marina Curran were added to the group which moved the project forward. The first club officers were: John O’Connor, commodore; Dr Finbarr O’Shea, vice-commodore; Eileen Galvin, secretary; John Greaney, treasurer. Mirror dinghies under sail in the harbour. students from Tralee Regional Technical College (later IT Tralee), who were already part of their college sailing club which was overseen by Len Breewood and John O’Connor. Dingle Technical School, and a building in The Tracks, owned by the Moriarty family, were kindly given over for the construction and assembly of the boats which were made from marine-grade plywood stitched together with wire and reinforced with fibreglass tape. The club members learned new skill-sets as well as doing the mundane work of sanding and scraping prior to painting the boats they built. Local fundraising added to the membership fees, which were meagre at that stage, and helped to buy sails and rigging for the completed hulls. As the club gained traction, it was buoyed-up financially by the work of an active ladies committee organising cake sales, treasure hunts and table quizzes in Dannos - and Pepsi Heidke and donkey with red-nose fund-raising at Christmas time. In the summer of 1987, the club was launched at The Rocket house; the three dinghies, coloured blue, red and white, along with a 13ft fibreglass boat rigged for sailing, which belonged to the Tralee college, took to the water with the assisted supervision of Len Breewood and student sailors from the college club. Following the successful launch, drawings were submitted to Kerry Co. Council for planning permission to build a clubhouse at the Rocket House site. Planning permission was duly given for the building which would store the boats and rigging and serve as a headquarters for the club. Around that time there was talk of a marina being built in the harbour to the west of Dingle Pier and it was decided to hold-off on going forward with the clubhouse and wait to see if the club would be accommodated in the marina facilities. A new harbour master,
Construction of Mirror dinghies in Dingle Technical School, 1986. Volunteering college students include: Michael Randles, Bernard Sheehan, Michael Hanrahan. Inset: Ann Curran. The ethos of the club was set right away: that sailing would be made available to all, and to give practicality to that, the club started building their own sailing dinghies which would be available to all members; this was a departure from the normal run of sailing clubs where members had to have their own sailing boats. The first boats, three Mirror dinghies, were constructed by the members in conjunction with help from boatbuilding 28 Corca Dhuibhne Beo

Brian Farrell, arrived with the new marina which was opened in 1992; Brian and his wife Brenda got actively involved with the club. The sailing club, courtesy of the harbour administration, moved on to two wooden huts on the marina breakwater and there it gained a new momentum and a semblance of permanency. A boat owned by the Fenton family was rigged for sailing and donated to the club – the fleet was beginning to grow. Sailing courses were started and instructors from Eddie English’s sailing school were hired. A tranche of local teenagers gained proficiency and ultimately became sailing instructors - who were giving of their time in training more home-grown instructors. There is a core half-dozen youngsters that emerged as keen sailors and leader types that brought the club forward with a new zest. In those
early days, thanks to assistance from FÁS, the club provided courses for local secondary school pupils as part of the school curriculum. Sailing courses were complemented with evening sailing where club members generously volunteered and supervised young and adult beginners. A newly-purchased Drascombe Lugger proved a popular training boat for adults. A couple of sailing instructors (who came to stay), Mark Greely and Enda O’Dowd, were employed by the club in the mid-90s, they also gave generously of their time in the evenings supervising club activities, which had increased and gained members and was now severely constricted in its makeshift accommodations on the breakwater.

ADHD and Your Child – The Hidden Gems Amongst the Challenges Siún (Creedon) Prochazka What comes to mind when you think of ADHD? A boy being disruptive in school? The phrase ‘Oh look, a squirrel!’? Or maybe this is the first time you’ve ever read about it. In the last 20 years or so we’re hearing more and more about it. But ADHD is definitely not new. Some time ago we went from being huntergatherers, skilled at being hyper aware of our surrounds, scanning for danger by noticing any sound or movement around us, having whip-fast reaction speeds, being able to change plans and adapt to changes quickly to staying in one place, working the land and not needing to be so hyper vigilant to possible dangers. The thing is, 10 000 years later, some of us are still hunter-gatherers in a world of farmers. There are 3 types of ADHD. There’s Hyperactive which is the most well-known and usually gets diagnosed earlier due to the child’s very energetic behaviour. Boys are more likely to be diagnosed with this type. There’s Inattentive which is usually diagnosed later because it often just looks like daydreaming or ‘not trying hard enough’ in school. Girls with ADHD are more likely to be diagnosed with inattentive type. And lastly there’s combined HyperactiveInattentive type. Impulsivity is also a major trait of ADHD where a child has difficulty with turn-taking in play time or blurting out answers in school and often interrupting conversations. Emotional challenges are also a big part of having ADHD. Children and adults with ADHD can experience the world in more intense way because of how their brain is structured. Emotions can flood the brain to the point of overwhelm which might look like a tantrum in a child (past toddler age) or feeling emotionally drained and an inability to work or do regular everyday things in an adult. Emotional intensity can also be an incredible experience when it comes to happiness, listening to powerful music or following what we are passionate about. Everyone’s brain has a ‘budget’ of energy it uses every day. The brain, in its energy-efficient way, is constantly scanning for a potential dip in energy supply. The part of our brain that’s in charge of self-control uses the most amount of energy and it’s the first thing to get ‘switched off’ when our brain is trying to conserve energy. Lack of self-control goes a long way to explaining how a child with ADHD can quickly get fed-up and wriggly in their desk. Or might be grumpy, having tantrums or just plain exhausted after a day at school where they have been sitting
at a desk (a challenging task in itself) for a lot of the day, using what little bit of regulation they have to sit still without much ability to use their brain to pay attention to what they are not interested in.
a child with ADHD. Between struggles with schoolwork, feeling awkward socially and dealing with stigmas attached to having the diagnosis (like beliefs of being ’stupid’), it’s a lot to deal with for a child and the family as a whole.
Whether your child has ADHD- Hyperactive, Inattentive or Combined type, chances are that after coming home from school they need a break before starting their homework. Giving them a snack, letting them run around and having them turn their attention to something totally different for an hour or so will help them to build up the brain reserves needed to sit for a while and do some homework.
That’s why changing things up with humour is a wonderful form of distraction. Telling the odd corny one-liner (getting your best Dad Jokes out) or just doing handstands, impressions or being silly to lighten the mood for your happily bemused children is great. Your spontaneity will likely entice them to join in the fun. Or at least elicit an amused/embarrassed “MOM!!!!” type reaction!
When our ADHD brain has found something that interests us enough, there’s no limit to how much time we can spend on that particular project. When a child has found something that really grabs their attention, interest will skyrocket and even working memory, which is usually very limited, greatly improves.
People with ADHD are known for their funloving ways and using humour as a distraction is something we all could use more of every chance we get. It bonds us through a shared positive experience. It helps us move past arguments. It rewards our brain with the feelgood dopamine, a chemical which naturally occurs less in the ADHD brain.
There’s even something called Hyperfocus (not exclusive to people with ADHD) where a project is so absorbing that time passing or biological cues like hunger go unnoticed for hours and hours at a time because the person is so absorbed in what they’re doing. The walls around them could cave in and they wouldn’t notice. You might see it when you’re saying your child’s name over and over while they’re playing computer games and nothing outside of the computer game can get their attention.
Creating an environment where fun and laughter is part of the everyday experience will go a long way to improving your child’s happiness, their self-esteem and even their concentration. (To find out more about Siún and an upcoming ADHD parents workshop, see www.siunprochazka. com)
By now you might have noticed that the words attention deficit hyperactivity disorder are misleading and discouraging for this neurological difference. In its truest form, ADHD is anything but a deficit of attention and focus. It is a deficit of interest, and interest must be present for the child to pay attention. Children with ADHD have enormous capacity for focus and attention. It’s just that the focus might not be ignited by maths or languages or whatever subjects your child doesn’t show any interest in. Forcing a child with ADHD to pay attention may take you some way to getting information into them but it will cause them more problems like anxiety and fear and issues with low self-esteem because they feel like they’re letting you down. As well as that, an anxious brain finds processing and remembering new information near impossible. Distraction is a great way to reset focus. Life can feel fairly serious and heavy-going for

The Minister for Rural and Community Development, Heather Humphreys TD, on July 14th announced an increased investment to €21 million for upgrade works on non-public roads in rural communities. The announcement doubles the original €10.5m budget which had been allocated for investment under the 2021 Local Improvement Scheme (LIS). This will improve access to rural homes and farms, as well as outdoor amenities such as lakes, rivers, mountains and beaches. The focus of the scheme is to support the continued improvement of rural roads and laneways that are not normally maintained by local authorities but which represent a vital piece of infrastructure for rural residents. The additional funding will be delivered in the same manner as previously. Local Authorities are responsible for identifying and prioritising roads for improvement works under the scheme, in consultation with residents/ landowners. The works must be completed before the end of the year. The funding provided by the Department of Rural and Community Development will be complemented by a local financial contribution from landowners/householders, as well as Local Authority resources. There will be a cap of €1,200 on the amount that any individual householder or landowner will be asked to contribute towards the cost of repairs to their road.

What’s Happening in the Hub? Deirdre de Bhailís Hope ye are all enjoying the Summer sunshine. What beautiful weather to lift the heart! We were delighted to be interviewed recently by the one and only Mary Kennedy for ‘Moving West’, an exciting new six part TG4 series produced by Dundara Television & Media, in association with the Western Development Commission. The series is about people who have made the move and gives an insight into their stories and experiences. It also looks at the real concrete opportunities which exist now in terms of hubs and remote working and fast broadband access and other positive factors. We’re really excited at the recent launch of a new short docufilm at the ESEE21 conference hosted by Teagasc: Corca Dhuibhne 2030: building sustainability on the ground. The Dingle Peninsula has become an important focus for innovative projects involving diverse AKIS (Agriculture Knowledge Innovation System) actors. At the 25th meeting of the European Seminar on Extension and Education (ESEE) Conference (2021), this new docufilm was launched showcasing Corca Dhuibhne’s ambitious vision for 2030, and a profile of rural innovation projects that are achieving that vision on the ground. These projects illustrate how inclusive innovation approaches, anchored in integrated research, education and extension, can make impactful contributions to rural sustainability. Teagasc, the Irish Agriculture and Food Authority, is the Irish partner in three major projects working with local people in West Kerry to test and launch new innovations that provide sustainability solutions to farmers nationwide and across the EU. The conference was attended by over 300 delegates from 30 countries. The film, a fantastic piece of work, was produced by Dingle filmmaker John Kennedy. You can watch the film on our YouTube channel or go to www. dinglepeninsula2030.com to find it there. Sustainable Innovation Project on the Dingle Peninsula We are looking for 30 farmers to participate in our Sustainable Innovation Project to test onfarm sensor technology. Deadline tomorrow 23rd July. As part of an EU Horizon 2020 funded project, Dingle Hub together with Teagasc, Kerry Agribusiness, Net Feasa and the IFA are working together on this initiative to address and achieve early progress in hitting environmental/climate change targets; at the same time creating more profitable and sustainable farming systems through the introduction and use of sensor technology. We will be testing on-farm sensor technology, which will capture real-time data on the farms, with the aim of improving environmental metrics and precision management and also in reducing labour demand. Participants on the project will: - showcase how the technologies can reduce agri-emissions 34 Corca Dhuibhne Beo
- share their knowledge and insights - develop a smart approach to farm business - a selection of the farms will act as ‘role model’ demonstration farms for the programme - share results and experiences Benefits: - All farmers will receive a report at the end of each year measuring their progress against their starting point and the targets set for the farm. The data collection will be achieved using a selection of sensors on each individual farm. Data captured will be analysed by DCU (Dublin City University) and Teagasc (data will be anonymous at all times) - The programme will demonstrate how to optimise your on-farm decision-making, for the benefit of both the environment and your profitability - Teagasc advisors and technical personnel will provide technical backup for farms, knowledge of the study principles, interpretation of the data and support in promoting improved environmental parameters together with broad sustainability - Opportunities for involvement in Teagasc trial work and meeting other like-minded progressive farmers to progress more sustainable farming methods

Small Changes: Hedgerows
Countless ‘TOP 10 PLACES TO SEE IN WEST KERRY’ have been compiled over the years in guidebooks, in print and on social media and whether it is Inch or Com Dhineol, the top of Mount Brandon or Gallarus Oratory, these tourist spots will not disappoint. However, I’m sure that everyone who lives here loves a particular spot that will never make a top 10 for tourists but is no less spectacular or special. In my own top 10 is a stretch of very biodiverse hedgerow near my home, that is a feast for the senses. Turning the corner on a summer evening I am hit with the fragrances of honeysuckle, dog rose and meadow sweet. The hedgerow is a riot of colour courtesy of wildflowers, the blend of which changes through the seasons. I catch glimpses of the hills and sea through the odd gap in the hawthorn and blackthorn while I check on how much longer it will take for the blackberries, sloes and wild cherry to ripen. What is most special though is the buzz of bees and other pollinators zipping from flower to flower, the birdsong, the flutter of butterflies and the odd sighting of a hedgehog or rabbit that combine to give the sense of being in a habitat that is truly alive. A hedgerow is are defined as a linear area vegetation that is less than 5m high and 4 m wide and is often with associated drains, banks, walls or trees. In Ireland we are fortunate to have over 300,000km of hedgerow accounting for 1.5% of the land area. Most Irish hedgerows were planted during the 1700s and 1800s because Acts of Parliament in 1697 and 1721 made it obligatory for landlords to erect proper permanent boundaries between their properties, enclosing former commonage into the field structure we recognise today. Our oldest hedgerows, however, date back as far as the 8th century when they had a more ancient role of defining parish boundaries. Hedgerows are important standing records of Irelands heritage, documenting the social history and land ownership of an area. They display evidence of local geology, enhance the landscape aesthetic and in the west of Ireland they reflect the nature of extensive agricultural practice.
A 2014 EPA report estimated that hedgerow, together with non-forest woodland and scrub, could remove 1.4 Mt of CO2 per year from the atmosphere. The ecological value of hedgerows is hugely significant, especially in Ireland, as we have one of the lowest levels of habitat connectivity in the whole of Europe. They are a vital habitat, providing a food source, place to breed and a place to overwinter for so many birds, animals and insects. They have often been referred to as nature’s superhighways due to the way that they act as wildlife corridors, connecting patches of formerly continuous habitat. Bats, butterflies, bees, birds such as barn owls and many small mammals have been shown to navigate the landscape by travelling along hedgerows rather than across open fields. Fifty five of the 110 bird species regularly recorded in the Countryside Bird Survey carried out during the breeding season by Birdwatch Ireland, use hedgerows for cover, to perch in or as a food source. Thirty five of these species use hedgerows to nest in. Hedgerow trees provide roosts for bats and support an incredibly rich variety of insects while the dense base provides cover for mammals such as hedgehogs. The structure of hedges allows pollinators to collect their food efficiently and the native flora which thrive in hedgerows are an incredibly nutritious source of pollen and nectar for them. Historically, wildflowers have been a valuable source of medicines and food for humans and the herbs and grasses that migrate out into swards still provide a diverse diet for farm animals. Unfortunately, hedgerows are a habitat that are under threat despite the fact that they are protected under the Habitats Directive. These threats include over-trimming, neglect, close ploughing, pesticide spray drift, disease and direct removal. Even though it is illegal to cut hedges between the 1st of March and the 31st of August each year, at least 3000km of hedgerows have been cut back by local authorities since 2018 in the prohibited season. Nearly all cases were carried out on road safety grounds (which is permitted and very important, especially on rural roads), however, in most cases authorities were unable to provide evidence of road safety assessments to justify the cutting (Noteworthy from thejournal. ie, 2021). Furthermore, hedges are being cut too severely and too frequently by landowners and councils. Shattered cuts (which occur incorrect types of machinery are used e.g. smooth wood species such as willow and hazel are not suited
to flail cutting) make it hard for trees to see off potential bacterial and fungal infections and also disturb breeding birds by exposing their nests. In addition to the many issues threatening current hedgerows, there is currently very little incentive to encourage farmers to establish new hedgerows despite the environmental advantages they confer to farmland including a finding from a recent survey carried out by the European Commission Joint Research Centre proving that planting hedgerows is one of the best ways to combat ecosystem fragmentation in intensively farmed landscapes. Under the GLAS scheme, for instance, the planting of hedgerows was an option for selection and proved to be a very popular with almost 15% of the 49000 active farmers choosing to plant hedges as part of their conservation efforts (minimum length of 10 metres). This option suspended for tranches 2 and 3 of the scheme to encourage uptake of other options. Landowners and individuals can, however, take actions to preserve and improve hedgerows without huge investment and/or with investment that is more cost efficient in the long run. Proper maintenance is required to encourage flowering, fruiting vigour and improve the potential for a diverse range of wildlife to inhabit the hedgerow. Essentially this means that hedges should only be cut back every 3 to 5 years (one side at a time), ideally between the months of November and January when they are dormant. Cutting an A shaped profile leaving a bushy top to provide maximum protection from the wind is the preferred option but if, for example, a straighter vertical is required along narrow roadways then allowance should be made for increased height or width instead. Pesticides or fertilisers should not be applied within 1.5m of the hedge. Gaps in the hedge can be filled by planting in new trees or shrubs, preferably a mix of species to enhance biodiversity. If your garden is already surrounded by a nonnative hedge, you could plant a new line of native shrubs along the boundary (in a zig-zag, not a straight line). The ideal mix is 75% hawthorn and 25% other species such as blackthorn, spindle, willow, holly, birch, elder or cherry. Growing from locally sourced seeds or cuttings is always preferable as they have already grown successfully in the area and now is a good time to take cuttings from shrubs such as willow. This is a great way to grow a hedge for free! Climbing plants such as honeysuckle are also a nice addition. Once the hedge is established, native species of wildflower, grass and fern will naturally colonise it.
In farming terms, not only do hedgerows enclose stock and define property boundaries but they also create shelter from the sun, rain and wind for all types of livestock. They absorb noise and filter dust and fumes from busy roadways. The long root systems of hedgerow plants help regulate water movement to alleviate flooding. They trap runoff, silt and soil particles which prevents slow soil erosion and has a positive effect on water quality. Soaking up excess water also helps to reduce the incidence of a variety of animal diseases e.g. liver fluke. Their potential value as carbon sinks is a more recently recognised benefit of hedgerows.

Kerry League Division 2 kindly sponsored by Billy Kissane. Annascaul/Castlegregory 5-8, Castleisland Desmonds 4-7. Recent results show success for both teams and this Division 2 final was again a winner, played in an immaculate Annascaul pitch. Annascaul/ Castlegregory settled in well, with the breeze at their back racing into a 3 pt. lead in the first half. Caoimhe Skinner, Leah Courtney scoring 2 quickfire points, Saoirse Brosnan placed beautifully for a goal and another point from the hard running Leah gave us a great start. Desmonds now hit their purple patch and despite some great play from our backs Orla Curran, Caoimhe Cawley, Tara Laide and Molly McCarthy and two super saves from goalie Beatrice Dowling, the visitors managed to score 1-2, leaving the score at the first water break A/C 1-4, Castleisland 1-2. A/C with Allana Griffin, Caoimhe Skinner and Niamh O Callaghan supplying good ball, the forwards Lil Falvey, Lia Sheehy helped set up scores for a Keelin point and a Sharon Enright goal to leave it A/C 2-5, Castleisland 1-2 at half time. The second half was give and take, with both teams kicking some excellent scores. Castleisland played some delightful football and tagged on at 2-2. But the score of the game came after some great team defensive play, forcing a turnabout and Niamh O Callaghan burst out of defence, fed into Caoimhe Skinner who whipped it up to Aoibhinn O Callaghan at half forward. Aoibhinn used her pace and cleverly found our goal machine Sharon, who doesn't need a second invitation and crashed home to the delight of the big home crowd. Game back on now. Co-Captains, Keelin and Molly led the charge and Aoibhinn assisted scores for Leah Courtney and Caoimhe Skinner to leave the score at the Solar Systems second water break A/C 4-6 Castleisland 3-5.

The first half was tough but very competitive with the sides level on numerous occasions. However, the GGC lads took over in the second half showing great fighting spirit, endurance and fitness that got them the vital win. It was a great game played in very warm conditions, well done to the panel and their trainers Gráinne Keary and David (and Erin) Moroney. Panel: Daragh O’Connor (Cromane), Diego Andreatta, Gio McCarthy, Liam McGrath, Alex Keary, Sean Doherty, Sam Kelly, Aidan Sheehan, Tadgh O’Sullivan, Paddy O’Sullivan, Darragh O’Connor (Glenbeigh-Glencar), Evan Keary, Oran Sheehan, Daniel Teahan, Eddie O’Sullivan, Eoin Gill.

They played some excellent football for the hour with a very impressive first half laying the foundations. They led by 3-9 to 1-6 at the break with goals coming from Darragh McKeefry and Jack O’Sullivan. This proved to be an unassailable lead as they ran out comfortable 4-17 to 2-12 winners. This was their second win in the county league after their opening round win over Beaufort. Their final game in the group is on Saturday week away to Fossa. Team: Jack McGillycuddy, Liam Joy, Diarmuid McGillycuddy, Eanna Healy, Sean Tadgh Sheehan, Liam Roche, Aodhan Roche (0-1), Tommy Quirke (0-2), Liam Smith (0-1), Sean Quirke (0-3), Cian Knight, Jason Clifford, Darragh McKeefry (2-9, 0-4 frees), Jack O’Sullivan (2-1), Sean O'Connor.

They were much too strong for Sneem-Derrynane in Glenbeigh today. This was the GGC U13s’ fourth win from their five games in phase one of the county league.

This was their final group game. The Cromane group is the Shane Ryan/Stephen O'Brien group - a lovely idea. Over the past six weeks, the team has played a series of games against Glenbeigh-Glencar, Scartaglin, Beaufort, and last Thursday’s game
against Gneeveguilla. It’s great to get the panel together: remember, the idea of the Go Games is that every child gets a “Go” for the entire “Game”. Panel: Alex Keary, Hannah Clifford, Grace Keary, Edie Corkery, Liam McGrath, Jack Morris, Mia O’Shea, Daniel Fenton, Alice O’Sullivan, Ellie Foley, Kate O’Sullivan, Daragh O'Connor, Paddy Griffin, Conor O'Sullivan, Emma Hannon, Liam O'Sullivan, Daire Harkin, Diarmuid Riordan, Liam Holmes, Charlie Sheehan, Danneka Horgan, Fionn Teahan. UNDER-9s: The Cromane under-9s played a series of games against Fossa in Cromane last Sunday morning. Many thanks to Fossa for travelling to play these games. It was the first outing of the year, outside of training, for many of our crew and it was great to start playing games against other clubs. RESTORATION of Kilcolman Rectory in Milltown has commenced with lots of volunteers. A Go Fund me Page has been set up to help with the cost of restoration. All support would be appreciated to bring it back to its once former glory in the midst of Mid Kerry. There has been a Church of Ireland Rectory and Church in Milltown, Co Kerry, since 1820. The residing Rector would have served in a number of small parishes between Castlemaine and Beaufort. The last Rector who lived in the rectory retired twenty years ago. It was then noted that major work needed to be done. However, it has remained vacant since and the following Rectors have had to live in rented accommodation around the area. The following is the link to which people can donate. The Link: https://www.gofundme.com/f/ restoration-of-kilcolman-rectory-milltown-kerry COUNTRY MARKET has resumed again in the cyms Killorglin every Fri 10 to 1pm. MENS SHED: Killorglin Mens shed has opened again in The Fair Field Killorglin after Covid. 10am to 1pm. All men welcome. CLOTHES BANK: If you are doing a spring clean and wish to dispose of clean linen, clothes, they can go in the Clothes Bank located at Cromane Gaa Pitch. It is another way to support the club. No duvets, pillows or dirty or wet items. LOCAL LINK: A bus travels to Killorglin from Cromane every Friday morning departing at 10am. QUOTE: Criticism is easy, achievement is difficult.

Ó Mhárthain Breandán Mac Gearailt Tá an teas ag cur allais ar dhaoine ná chorraigh le fada nó lucht an díomais. Mheasfá go mbeadh an teas san oíche titithe chomh mór is dá mbeadh sioc amuigh, a mhalairt atá fé láthair. Tá daoine sna tíortha teo á marú ag an dteas go mór mhór iad siúd atá anonn sna blianta. Is cuimhin liom lá i ndeiscirt na Fraince gur stopas an gluaisteán agus chuas isteach ‘n tsiopa. Ní raibh ach deich choiscéim le dul agam. Mheasas go rabhas ám mhúchadh. Bhí an teocht 40 C. Fuair scata daoine sa Ghréig bás don mór bhrothall fiche bliana nó mar sin ó shin. Gan dabht tá daoine sna tíortha teo bog ar an dteas, ach nuair a thagann raistí móra luíonn sé ar gach aon duine. Ní gá dhuit aon eagla a bheith ort go fóill. Tá suas le naoi chéad milliún euro luaite le Éirinn de thoradh an víoras agus ciorraithe eagsúla. Bhí Uachtarán an Aontais Eorpaigh i mBleá Cliath le déanaí agus dúirt go mbeadh an t-airgead seo ar fáil mar chúiteamh agus le saol eacnamaíochta na tíre seo a neartú. Ní gnáthach a leithéide a bheith ag scailéatha. Caid + Iománaíocht Is baolach ná raibh aon dath don rath ar fhóirne Chiarraí an tseachtain seo caite. Buadh ar na mionúir agus imreoirí fé fhiche bliain. Caithfead a rá go rabhas díombách. Bhíodar go maith ach gan iad maith a ndóthain. Is in aghaidh mo thola a fhéachas ar an gcluiche iomána, craobh na Mumhan idir Luimneach agus Thiobrad Árainn. Ní thuigeas go mbeadh Luimneach chomh maith. Sa chéad leath bhí na Tiobradaigh ag déanamh gabhair dos na buachaillí cois Sionna. Déarfá go mbeadh an sean- phort againn- bua ag na Tiobradaigh gan dua. Déarfá ná raibh aon gaol ag an dá fhoireann, an chéad leath ag na Tiobradaigh agus an dara leath do Luimneach. N’fheaca le cuimhne na ndaoine, an faobhar a bhí fé bhuachaillí Luimní. Mheasfá go raibh draíocht ortha. Ní thóg sé ró fhada uatha an naoi no deich phointí a bhí ag Tiobrad Árann ortha, a chur ar ceal agus bua bhreá bheith acu. Tá stil an- tharraingteach ag iománaithe Luimní. Bhí claochló ar Luimneach sa dara leath. Mheasfá go raibh a saol ag braith air. Caitfí ghaiscígh Thiobrad Árann a threascairt. Bhí gach duine do fhoireann Luimní tofa. Bhaineadh srathar na hainnise an chéad leath, dóibh féin agus fuadar do chreite sa dara leath. Bhí Tiobrad Árann á gcur dá mbuile óir bhuaidh Luimneach go brabhsach. Bua taibhseach ar deire. Chuaigh Luimníoch suas an gort agus níor stad ná staon sé go bhfuair sé báide. Lean an fonn do-chreite go raibh bua acu. Ní fheaca a leíthéid le fada. Bás Fuair Treasa ní Bheaglaoi,Uí Phiogóid ó Bhaile an Fhiadnaigh bás le déanaí. Bhí Treasa ag freastal ar scoil an Bhuailtín lem linn féin. Bean chríochnúil bea í agus sí a bhí deaslamhach. Bhí sí pósta le Sean Piogóid a fuair bás tamall ó shin. Bhí sí ag obair seal ‘ge baile agus i gCill Áirne. Maireann deartháir Tomás agus beirt mhac Dáithí agus Caoimhín. Solas na bhFlaitheas ag a hanam. Fuair Máidhc ’Baá’ó Cinnéide ón gCam Dubh agus Londain Shasana bás le déanaí. Bhí beirt deartháracha Séamus agus Tomás agus deirfiúr Máire básaithe roimhis. Maireann beirt deartháracha, Donal agus Pádraig. Imeasc na naomh a anam.

Fuair Bríd Ní Chatháin Uí Mhaol Domhnaigh ó Chlochar agus Ráth-bhile Ceatharlach bás in aois 85 bliain. Aintín do Charol uí Laoithe Mám na Gaoitheab ea í. Bhí a céile Mícheál básaithe. Maireann iníonacha, Roisín, Áine, Máire, Íomar, Caoimhín, Dónal agus Mícheál. Go soillsí soillse na bhFlatheas ar a hanam caoin. Tá Desmond Fennell tréis bháis ar Lá Mhic Dara i nGaeltacht Chonamara. Bhí scata tuairimí aige cuid acu ar fiar. Chaith sé seal i mBéal Feirste. Fear mór i saol na Gaelge thug sé tamall maith i gConamara. Maireann a chéile Miriam agus deirfiúr Róise, agus clann Oisín, Cillian, Kate, Sorcha, Natasha agus a gclann siúd. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam. Marglann agus Monarcain Tá ann ba gamhna agus caoire. Tá an- airgead ar chaoire le déanaí. Is gnáthaí go mbíonn praghas caoire go maith sa Bhealtaine ach nuair a thagann mór éileamh titeann an luach beagán. Níor tharla san go fóill i mbliana. Rud eile bhí an- phraghas ar chaoire ná raibh uain acu, nó gur tharla óspairt éigin dóibh. Ceannófaí sean- chaoire chomh maith. Is cuimhin liom uair amháin go raibh caora le bheith ag beirt éigin dá mbeadh bua acu ag imirt chártaí. Níor ghá aon chongas le duine a bhogadh, a ith aon chuid di. Bhíodh caoire óga ar phraghas maith ann chomh maith sna monarcain. Údarás Gaeltachta. Tá tamall maith ó dúirt an Taoiseach go mbeadh Údarás Daonlaitheach ag muintir na Gaeltachta dá mbeadh sé i gcumhacht. Tá cúrsaí an údaráis ó thaobh eolais agus fadhbanna chomh marbh le hart. Baintí an- shólás as an gcúram nuair a bhí sé daonlaitheach. D’fhéadfaí toghcháin a ghairm ar beagánn costas mar d’fhéadfí an toghchán a bheith ann aon uair go mbeadh toghcháin áitiúla nó Dála nó reifreann nó a leithéid ar siúl. Beidh Chumann Cearta Sibhialta Ghaeltacha an cheanntair ag cur san ar a shúile don dTaoiseach Mícheál Máirtín, sara fada.
