Well over 100 people turned up at Beenbawn on Christmas morning to support this annual tradition which has grown in popularity at many other venues throughout the county also.

VISITING STUDENTS. Céad Míle Fáilte to the 70 plus students from Sacred Heart University who arrived in Dingle this week for a 2 week study programme. Apparently this group includes 10 Australian students and we hope all enjoy their time in West Kerry and return for further studies or leisure visits in the future. The SHU renovations of the old CBS Buildings continue and should prove a major economic and social boost to our area in the years ahead. TOWN PARK. It is most disappointing to see broken glass being strewn in the Tennis Court Grounds in the Town Park over the past few months. The Tidy Towns Volunteers who try and keep the place clean for those who wish to use the facility would like to hear from anybody who has information on the culpits. The plans to convert the Park into an All Weather Pitch are progressing and will hopefully result in better use of this fine facility by people of all ages when completed.

Dingle Film Club
Open to Everyone. Tuesday Nights 8.45pm The next feature at the Dingle film club will be screened on Tuesday 7th January. Little Women will be the featured film on the night. Starring Saoirse Ronan, the film is director Greta Gerwig's adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's classic novel. In Gerwig's take, the beloved story of the March sisters - four young women each determined to live life on her own terms -- is both timeless and timely. The following week on Tuesday 14th January, the feature will be Le Mans '66. Based on the remarkable true story of the visionary American car designer Carroll Shelby (Matt Damon) and the fearless British-born driver Ken Miles (Christian Bale), who together battled corporate interference, the laws of physics, and their own personal demons to build a revolutionary race car for Ford Motor Company and take on the dominating race cars of Enzo Ferrari at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in France in 1966. The film balances the breakneck automotive action with enough gripping human drama to satisfy non-racing enthusiasts too.

Farming News Louis Murchan REGISTERING FOR VAT – SHOULD YOU BOTHER Value Added Tax is one of those taxes that we don't think much about even though we all pay quite a lot of it in the course of the year. While registering for VAT will enable you to claim back VAT paid on purchases, it will not pay the vast majority of farmers to be registered. No farmer or farming company is obliged to register for VAT but some do and many wonder if they should. Those who do not register receive what is known as the 'flat rate refund' on sales of livestock, milk and grain which currently amounts to 5.4pc which is designed to offset the VAT paid on goods and services. In addition, all farmers, farm partnerships and farm limited companies who are not registered are entitled to claim a refund of VAT incurred on capital expenditure on farm buildings, land improvement and also on certain items of fixed plant such as bulk tanks, milking facilities, automatic scrapers etc. Registered farmers are not entitled to the flat rate refund so this begs the question, why would anyone bother to register? This is a very valid question as the net after-tax benefit of registration can often-times be minimal if not a negative quantity. In addition, there may be consequences of registration if one is to cease farming or even sell up. While it is the case that most farmers will not benefit by being registered for VAT it is a simple task to assess your position to see if you would benefit by being registered. To do this you will need the most recent five years' farm accounts and take the average expenditure on VATable inputs and overheads and calculate the VAT that you would have incurred. You then establish your average VATable sales and calculate the VAT that was included in those sales and compare the two figures. The difference between the VAT paid out and the VAT received over the five years will quickly make up your mind as to whether you should register or not. Bear in mind that you would have been entitled to claim back VAT on any capital expenditure on farm buildings, fixed equipment or land improvement in any event. The case study set out in table A is based on an actual example of five years accounts and shows that registration in this case would actually have cost €2,962 per year apart from any additional charges for book-keeping. Most farmers will be familiar with the VAT rebate facility for un-registered farmers known as the VAT58 claim. Since earlier this year certain changes have occurred in regard to farmers who are not registered for VAT but who are reclaiming VAT by way of the VAT 58 process in respect of VAT paid on farm buildings, land drainage & reclamation, hedgerows, underpasses and fixed plant items. Claims are now made online through eRepayments and to do so you will need the details of your claim including the invoice number, the supplier details and the amount of VAT being claimed. You do not have to include supporting documentation for your claim, unless requested to do so but all invoices should be kept for six years as these may be required by Revenue for inspection. You can still go back up to four years. Each claim must be greater than €125 and a separate claim must be made for each calendar year so you cannot submit a claim that spans two calendar years. Claiming back VAT whether as a registered or unregistered farmer can have consequences if you sell your farm or if you simply cease farming or indeed cease being registered. There are a number of situations where VAT can be clawed back or where a disposal may be liable to VAT as follows; (1) Where a farmer claims a VAT refund through the VAT 58 process, a clawback arises if the farmer ceases to farm or ceases to use the buildings or land in respect of which the claim was made for farming purposes within twelve months of the VAT having been incurred. While it might be unusual for a farmer to cease farming or to dispose of his holding within twelve months of doing a development, it can happen and in recent times it occasionally happens where a farmer decides to sell his farmyard to his limited company. In any event, it is something to bear in mind where a farm is being disposed of or where a farmer ceases to farm. (2) A situation where a disposal could become VATable is where the land 8 West Kerry Live
or farm buildings were developed within five years prior to the sale, VAT may be due on the sale even though the farmer may or may not be a VATregistered person. This may cause a difficulty with the sale as the buyer, more than likely, will not be able to recover the VAT paid. (3) A claw-back of VAT reclaimed on a farm development can arise where a VAT registered farmer disposes of land containing the development in question between year 5 and year 20 following the claim unless the purchaser is agreeable to apply VAT on the sale which would be unlikely. (4) Where a registered farmer decides to de-register they will be liable to repay the net benefit, if any, as compared to if they had not been registered in the three years prior to ceasing. TREATING LAME SHEEP BEFORE HOUSING. The wet weather over the past few weeks has made grazing conditions difficult for many farmers across the country. The majority of sheep farmers still have their ewes out and will look to house them over the next few weeks until they lamb down. While extending the grazing season may reduce the amount and cost of feed needed during the housing period, it can have a negative effect on ewes’ health. Lameness in sheep is primarily caused by wet underfoot conditions, which farmers have experienced on their land over the last number of weeks. The aim should be to keep the number of lame sheep at any one time below 5%. It is critical to put sheep through a footbath or administer an antibiotic in cases where animals have contagious ovine digital dermatitis (CODD) before housing to eradicate the problem. Taking a chance, and housing a ewe hoping she will recover, would be a huge mistake as the infection can easily spread throughout the rest of the flock and become a huge problem. In most cases, the majority of sheep are housed on straw bedding which has the ability to spread infection in a confined area at a rapid rate. Therefore, farmers should group together any lame sheep and isolate them from the rest of the flock. Furthermore, it is best practice to run the flock through a footbath before housing and at regular intervals to minimise the risk of lameness. Lame sheep – especially ewes – will have reduced performance over the housing period and this could lead to involuntary culling of animals. CONTINUATION OF DAFM SUPPORTS TOWARDS BVD ERADICATION The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine confirmed the continuation of the supports for the early removal of PI (persistently infected) calves under the national Bovine Viral Disease (BVD) Eradication Substantial savings are being achieved by farmers, with the incidence of PIs reducing in 2019 to just 0.04% from 0.66% in 2013 – the first year of the compulsory phase of the Eradication Programme. Proposed amendment to the existing regulations will come into effect in early 2020 whereby it will now be a legal requirement for all animals born on or before 1 January 2013 to have a known BVD clearance. The supports available in 2020 in respect of early removal of PI calves will be as follows: Dairy Herds • €160 if the female dairy and dairy cross calves are removed within 10 days of the first positive or inconclusive test. • €30 if the female dairy and dairy cross calves are removed between day 11 and 21 of the first positive or inconclusive test. • €30 towards the disposal of dairy bull calves through the abattoir or knackery within 14 days of the first positive or inconclusive test. Beef Herds • €220 if the calf is removed within 10 days of the first positive or inconclusive test. • €30 if the calf is removed between day 11 and 21 of the first positive or inconclusive test. Older animals born prior to 1 January 2013 will not be eligible for compensation. The system of automatic herd restrictions and notification of neighbours
will continue in 2020. The restrictions will apply at 3 weeks following the date of the original positive or inconclusive test in the event that a date of death is not recorded on AIM by that time. In the small number of cases where it is requested, confirmatory testing will be done through blood sample similar to the arrangements in previous years. Under this arrangement the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine will continue to fund the collection of blood samples by a Private Veterinary Practitioner (PVP), and their subsequent testing and when sampled at the same time, testing of their dams. The Minister also confirmed that the system of mandatory farm herd investigation once a PI is disclosed (TASAH) will continue. This arrangement, funded under the RDP 2014-2020, has proven beneficial to farmers in assisting them in the eradication of the disease. An increased level of testing within these herds will take place as part of this arrangement into 2020.

Beating the January Blues! Irene Ní Fhlannúra
through longer cooking times making broths, soups and stews ideal to get the best out our meat, fish and vegetables during the Winter. When people relied on their own surroundings for nourishment, preserved foods such as dried nuts, wholegrains. fermented and cured meats and fish and fermented and pickled vegetables made up for any shortfall in fresh produce. Although our supermarkets are filled with produce now grown all year round, foods in season or preserved by traditional methods still offer the best nutrition to stave off Winter woes. Vitamin D levels are at their lowest during January as our Summer stores are certainly depleted by now. Despite the glorious sunshine of last Summer we probably did not spend enough time exposed to the sun for enough vitamin D to see us through the Winter. Low vitamin D status is strongly associated with low mood and depression. Vitamin D supplementation is a first line therapy for Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), confirming the correlation between vitamin D status and mood disorders. The best approach to vitamin D is to get tested and get a proper dosage guide to supplementation. The RDA for vitamin D of 400 – 800iu falls short for most people and more so, for those with low mood, depression, SAD and anxiety. The correct dosage is unique to everyone and depends on present vitamin D status, body weight, gender and state of health. As Vitamin D is also involved in numerous body functions including immunity and bone health, this is a simple yet extremely effective measure to reduce risk of illness at any time of the year.
The brown, withered pine needles on the sitting room floor are a stark reminder that the festive high is about to come crashing down! With only the Three Wise Men to come, the thought of what happens after January 6th can be foreboding and fill many people with a sense of dread. Listening to the radio and reading through media there is an expectation to get off your backside, give up sugar, alcohol, partying and carousing and prepare yourself for a complete turnaround which involves nibbling on microgreens and sipping watermelon juice! The first step to “beating the January blues” is to switch off from this current hype, after all, the same media frenzy had us pouring a glass of Baileys at 11am less than three weeks ago! While it is true, the start of a new year offers the perfect opportunity to begin again, to resolve to be a better human and self-improve, the fear of change and the fear of failure is enough to blow the best of intentions in a very short time. The term “blues” is associated with a short period of depression, low mood and/or agitation that can affect anyone at any time during the year. Many people will feel low as the Christmas holidays end, family moving away again, maybe overspending and over-indulgence can be hard to take once the party is over – feeling a bit down post-Christmas is not unusual and will pass in a short time once normal routines return. The January Blues suggests that things will improve once Spring comes around. The stark difference between December’s festivities and the stillness of January is often the main trigger for the January Blues. Let us not forget that we are still in Winter, a quiet time in Nature with many plants and mammals still resting. It’s a reflective time for humans, ideal for making plans and preparing for the year ahead, but may not be favourable just yet for a sprint up Mt. Brandon! Food this time of year reflects the low position of Earth energy. From within the ground comes a wealth of root vegetables, dark greens and hardy cruciferous such as cabbage, cauliflower, brussels sprouts and kale. The long growing period of these vegetables allows them to absorb more minerals from the Earth which in turn keeps us grounded and nourished throughout the Winter season. Bones and meat cuts for slow cooking are best this time of year, again, reflecting the need for mineral-rich foods for sustenance throughout the darker, cooler days. Minerals such as calcium, magnesium, zinc, sodium and selenium are best extracted from food

Any episode of depression is exacerbated by alcohol, food binging and poor sleep, which is another reason why some people really feel the full brunt of the blues in January. Getting into a good routine soon after Christmas will help shorten a bout of blues. Focus on feeling healthy by cutting out as much crap food as possible, eat three home-cooked meals a day, get outside in Nature, have warm mineral baths before bed and take a break from alcohol. This way, instead of feeling a total wreck, you will arrive at Spring, well rested, restored and prepared for the Season ahead. A very happy New Year to all my readers, may 2020 be filled with soups, salads and plenty vegetables! Irene Ní Fhlannúra, Nutritional Therapist at Ré Nua Natural Health, Goat St., Dingle 066 9151360.

From The Archives
When the boat came up with her, she was seen to jump like a sturgeon several feet above the water.
Edited By Ted Creedon
Mr. Streatton, one of the coast guards, had to let her go twice she was so strong. At last she had to yield, and she now lies safe in the coast guard watch-house [Cooleen]. She swam across about one third of the harbour before she was caught.
Beenbane Mystery From – Tipperary Free Press, 2 October 1857 In the afternoon of yesterday an article, which seemed to be a rude box or coffin, was washed ashore at Beenbane strand, quite close to Dingle harbour, and about a mile from the town. This object on coming into the breakers was so knocked about that it burst open, revealing the body of a female quite naked, except for her having on a pair of stockings. She appeared to be a woman of middle age, with brown hair. The body was not in an advanced stage of decomposition considering the length of time it had been in the water. This has been estimated, by seafaring persons, at no less than four months judging from the length of the barnacles on the lower part of the coffin. Mr. Philip Hodnett of the Coast Guard who was the day watchman, reported the case to the police who placed the body in a coffin got from the Workhouse. It was then brought into town and allowed to lie in the Court house to await an Inquest.
Five Drowned at Valentia From – Cork Examiner, 15 February 1843 On Tuesday last, a hooker belonging to Mr. Thomas Smith, apothecary, of Dingle, with six people on board, left that town for Valentia , with a cargo of potatoes. When making for Valentia harbour, just near Cromwell’s Fort, a sudden squall struck her. She was thrown on her beam end and went down at once by the stern. Five of those on board were drowned, three men and two women. The Knight of Kerry’s Pinnace [rowing boat] was instantly launched, and, pulled by eight stout fellows, made for the sixth person who drifted out into the bay, supported on an oar. When they overtook him he was nearly exhausted but by the most strenuous efforts was restored in two hours. The Captain of the hooker, whose name was Gregory Ash, has left a large family to mourn his loss. All of the victims were from Dingle town.
Dingle Trawler Attacked in Bantry Bay From - Dundee People’s Journal, 1 November 1879
Mother Dies on Roadside
Extraordinary outrages are reported by net fishermen in Bantry Bay. Last week thirty men in five boats boarded the trawlers in the bay. They were armed with guns, knives and hatchets, and they threatened the captains and crews with death if they persisted in trawling.
From – Westmeath Independent, 02 January 1847
Resistance having been made on board the Eleanor, of Dingle, the boarders cut the rigging and lashed the captain and crew to the mast, making them swear never to trawl again. The police arrested three of the culprits in Bantry on Saturday. The fishermen tried to rescue the prisoners, and stoned the police who fixed bayonets and threatened to fire.
Fatal Accident at New Dingle Chapel From – Cork Examiner, 27 June, 1863 A most melancholy and fatal accident occurred in Dingle on Friday under the following circumstances: a number of masons were at work on the tower of the new chapel, which is some 80 feet [24m+] from the base. A small stone of about 2 pounds weight fell and struck one of the labouring men at the base, on the crown of his head. The missile, small as it was, broke his skull like an egg-shell, and caused instant death. Deceased was over 50 years of age, and a very quiet inoffensive man. His death has plunged a poor family into affliction.
Castlegregory Inquest From – Cork Constitution, 7 January 1892 At Castlegregory yesterday Captain Thomas Spring and a jury resumed the inquest on the bodies of six seamen, crew of the Carnarvon schooner, Catherine Richards, that was wrecked in Ballyheigue Bay on Thursday morning last. The bodies were washed ashore near Castlegregory on Friday and Saturday.
A poor woman and her three children left Dingle for Tralee last week to seek relief in the workhouse. Faintness for want of food overcame the wretched creature, and she had to lie down. In a short time a passer-by found the mother dead, and the children, whom she must have starved herself to feed, crying over her remains.
Pilot’s Fee From – Newcastle Courant, 13 December 1850 Joseph Flaherty, the well-known Dingle pilot, has just been paid £150 by the owners of the Prudence, of Shields, which vessel he, with the assistance of his boat’s crew, brought safe into Dingle harbour, after having lost her masts in the recent hurricane.
Cost of Christmas Potatoes From – Cork examiner, 18 December 1862 The dealers are charging nine pence per stone for potatoes, which is an enormous price at this season of the year. Any of our friends in the county of Cork who would bring a few cargoes of potatoes here after Christmas, would be sure to make a fair profit in them.

HOMEOPATH
Wild Doe in Dingle Harbour From – Wigan Observer, 5 December 1857 A few days ago the inhabitants of Dingle were astonished to see a large doe running down John-street, up the Main-street, and down the Green Lane. When she went down to the strand, she took to the water and began to swim across the harbour. Two of the coast guards and a boy launched a small punt and pulled in pursuit of her.

Ryan’s Daughter in Dingle – A 50th Anniversary Recollection John O’Connor
They were heady times in Dingle in 1969. There we were, minding our own business and suddenly, poof, Dingle was a star. Early on, rumours abounded about some kind of film that was being made – it had the tentative name of Michael’s Day. Then gradually, more tangible expressions surfaced viz: “I saw Robert Mitchum in Garvey’s shop buying the newspaper”, and, “Trevor Howard was drinking in Ashe’s bar”. The intercalation of Hollywood stars, English Stage and Abbey Theatre actors with the people of the town happened in tandem with the building excitement and eventual realisation that Dingle had been singled out for something special. In the early months of the year (1969), with the attendant influx, Dingle gathered pace to satisfy the demands of making a Hollywood blockbuster with a budget of $13,000,000 (now equal to $90,000,000 approx.). Actors, directors, writers, technicians and general crew had to be accommodated in the town. Whole estates and private houses were given over at handsome rates to famous stars, while more lodged in guest houses and local hotels. Sheds, barns and assorted outhouses were renovated by the film construction crew to house make-up, wardrobe, electrical, plumbing and other departments necessary to bring David Lean’s story of Ryan’s Daughter to the screen. Busloads of extras from Tralee were transported to Dingle and joined the indigenous locals to act as extras in the crowd scenes of the film. The Tralee contingent would stop in Bawn’s pub in the morning on the way to the set for refreshments, which went on the slate till the evening return to settle up, when the group had been paid. Before arriving on the film set the troupe made a brief stop at make-up to ensure dress and haircuts were compatible with the 1916 setting of the story. A Tralee woman, Mrs Coffey, playing the Old Woman, was tailor-made for the era and became famous worldwide after getting a speaking part – “What will they do with 16 West Kerry Live
them lads, Father?” - in the film against stringent opposition from the Abbey actor’s union. But director David Lean was having none of it – this was his woman for the part. It is obvious in several scenes that ‘good’ local faces are to the fore – Lean assiduously applying his craft. The hordes had to be fed. A roving canteen, mostly situated in the purpose-made village, moved from set-to-set to serve the considerable throng of extras and workers. A cooked breakfast was served when early morning scenes were being shot. Elevenses of sausage rolls and scones took the edge off till a four course midday lunch of soup, main, dessert and tea and biscuits. At four o’clock tea and sweet cake broke the evening and if late day scenes were called for a fry-up meal was had at six. No one was hungry on the set of Ryan’s Daughter. The big names, Mitchum, Sarah Miles, John Mills, Christopher Jones, Trevor Howard, Leo McKern and David Lean had cars and chauffeurs at their disposal. Local businessman Seán Moran provided a fleet of new Zephyr cars and seconded, to Faraway Productions, several of his workforce who were on call ‘round the clock’, to drive locally between sets and be at the whims of the famous for round trips to Shannon Airport to pick up personnel and equipment.
Lore On a drive in the hinterland Robert Mitchum’s car being held up by a herd of cattle prompted Mitchum to wind down the window and remonstrate the herdsman for the delay with: “Do you know who I am? I’m Robert Mitchum … move along there please”. The casual response from the farmer, “I don’t care if you are Robert Emmett, my cows will do what they always do”, is part of the extensive film lore which the project generated. Leo McKern, who played Ryan in the film, was frequently seen around the town in tweeds and in a somewhat unkempt appearance wearing the beard and long hair of his character Ryan. McKern drank in Bawn’s and had the good fortune to be in the pub one day when a local character, Joeen, returned from the dog track after having good winnings. Joeen bought a round of drinks for his friends and after seeing what seemed like a downtrodden caller at the far end of the bar said to the proprietor, “…and give that poor man there a drink as well”. Thereafter, according to lore, McKern would buy Joeen a drink, whenever they crossed paths in a pub. John Mills had to spend several hours in makeup to transform him to Michael, the village idiot, for the film. While in character, Mills often had to wait around between scenes before he was called again and during such a break, he took possession of a new Rolls Royce, which he had purchased. Mills was naturally anxious to get behind the wheel and go for a drive, which he did in his character’s regalia. Subsequently, John Mills was stopped while driving by a local garda and had trouble proving who he really was and not the tramp who had stolen a Rolls Royce.
Economy Boost
At the time of the film, the average industrial weekly wage in Ireland was €280 (about £225, the currency was Irish punts then). The rates on the film set varied for workers depending on skill sets etc. Tradesmen were getting two to three times their normal rate; adult extras were paid by the day and the schoolchildren in Shaughnessy’s classroom had their own rate. If weather hampered the filming, the workers and extras were fed and paid regardless. The local construction providers, P&T Fitzgerald, got a huge boost mainly because of the construction of the film village, Kirrary, on a mountain top overlooking Dunquin and the Blasket Islands. The Moran company, providing the fleet of vehicles, was uniquely placed to avail of the boon at the time. Rentals for accommodation and ancillary activities dug in further to the MGM account and buoyed up the economy immeasurably. Shops, pubs and hotels got their share of the budget too. Among ancillary workers, a local ‘runner’ had the job of travelling to the accommodations of the main players informing of schedule changes and cancellations due to weather etc. – email and texting had not yet arrived. Dingle Boatyard, where Leo McKern had his wooden yacht pulled up for repair, got a piece of the action too. It was estimated that the production company left £1,000,000 (punts) in Dingle before the film was completed in early 1970.
Locations The purpose-built village of Kirrary, which was built on a hill overlooking the spectacular vista of the Blasket Islands, was in the main fabricated of solid façades and faux-carcasses. The cobblestone street was the real thing with peripheral street-side rocks and boulders made of fibreglass. The schoolhouse was a complete solid and authentic structure with sandstone masonry and king-post trusses. It remains today, though now in a dilapidated state and still draws a significant number of visitors annually. Its location is a cinematographer’s dream, with the sea below carpeting the way to the Islands. The woodland scene where Miles and Jones had the clandestine love scene is a mix of a Kenmare estate, Burnham Woods and Murreagh Hall. Due to inclement weather, completion of the scene was not possible outdoors. The flora, fauna and lighting were expertly replicated on the boards of the hall, which was strictly out of bounds to non-essential personnel when the controversial scene was being filmed. The storm scene, which is considered a significant recreation for its time (pre-CGI) was
filmed in the Bridges of Ross in County Clare and cut in with scenes of the landing of guns in Coumeenole beach in West Kerry. Lean waited several months for the right conditions before decamping the crew to a Carrigaholt base for the imminent storm.
Pre-1969 In 1936 the Irish Tourist Association produced a travelogue titled ‘The Irish Riviera’, which featured the south-west coast of Ireland. The Dingle Peninsula was included with scenes of the town of Dingle, Ballydavid and Dunquin showcasing the area at the time. In the mid-1950s an American television production company arrived in the town and made a similar film for the American audience. These productions were a precursor to, and perhaps laid the foundation to, Lean’s grand spectacle, which showcased the area through the medium of storytelling in 1969. In 1969 when Rosie Ryan walked on Inch beach with her parasol, Neil Armstrong walked on the moon; it was the year when British troops were sent to Northern Ireland, Thin Lizzy were formed in Dublin and the half-crown was withdrawn from circulation. Dingle had a thriving boatbuilding industry – the Saint Anne was launched and the Saint Colette was under construction. A significant fishing fleet existed and farming was doing well.
Reception Before David Lean came to Dingle, he had two Academy Awards (Oscars) under his belt as well
as two Baftas and two Golden Globes. He had made three epics: Bridge on the River Kwai, Doctor Zhivago and Lawrence of Arabia as well as the acclaimed, though on a lesser scale, Brief Encounter and Great Expectations. But being the times, they were, and the communications that existed, we had no idea of the talented personage in our midst. Following the release of Ryan’s Daughter, the critics in the main slated the film. It was described variously as a load of expensive gush and as being too small a story for the large scale of the canvas. However, the magnificent scenery captured by Freddie Jones, the cinematographer who won an Oscar for the film, helped put the Dingle Peninsula on the tourist map – it was the start of real tourism in Dingle, as we know it today. Great anticipation awaited the release of the film at a local level. A contingent travelled to London the see the premiere at the Lester Square Theatre. One local man commented after the curtain: “…the biggest load of raiméis (balderdash) I ever saw”. Ryan’s Daughter was seen to be dwarfed by Lean’s earlier epics, but a new assessment today sees the film reappraised as a significant piece of film-making, which showcases David Lean’s exceptional craft. John Mills won the Oscar for best supporting role, for his portrayal as the much-tormented village idiot.
After It took time for Dingle to come down from the high of those heady days. Workers settled back again to ordinary wages and ordinary living –
albeit many were set up for the future following their brush with the mighty of Hollywood. Posters and autographed pictures from the famous actors adorn many establishments. Milltown House, where Robert Mitchum stayed for the duration, is now offering luxury accommodation in the Mitchum Suite. Rosie Ryan - Sarah Miles, has remained a friend to Dingle. She has returned and officiated at the Dingle Film Festival. Documentary films have been made about the making of Lean’s penultimate film - 14 years later Lean directed his final film, the critically acclaimed, A Passage to India. Stories are still told 50 years on about the Hollywood production, which had a huge impact on the Peninsula. There is a yearning in the telling of the stories; a local tradesman who worked for the entire duration (about 14 months) on the project laments: “… if only Ryan had another daughter”.

Linus Óg Burke was one of our first presentations on the night –receiving his ‘Junior C Player of the Year Award’ from Henry Scanlon. Dwight Bacalso was then presented with the ‘Junior B Player of the Year Award’. Well done to you both. Ciarán O’ Connor was a very popular winner of the under 23/ Young Player of the Year. Mike Carroll pointed out that despite his position in the back line, Ciarán is no stranger to making attacks up the field and popping over a score when the opportunity arises! James Daly presented Ciarán with the Shane Daly Memorial Shield, in memory of his late brother Shane. Well done Ciarán on your award and best of luck for the coming season. We were very privileged to have young Conor Giles to present ‘The Johnny Giles Memorial Shield’ (in memory of his late dad) to our ‘Senior Player of the Year’ -Pa Wrenn. Mike Carroll commented on Pa’s commitment to the senior panel, always endeavouring to make training despite his busy and un- predictable work schedule as a paramedic. Pa was also commended for his ‘never give up’ attitude on the field of play and most importantly for being an excellent role model for the younger players coming up. Well done Pa on a richly deserved award and to Conor on doing a wonderful presentation. Our final presentation of the night was for Club Person of the Year. With so many in our club giving so much of their time, this is always a difficult one to decide. However, this year, there was notably one person who stood out amongst all the rest. The very worthy recipient was our Lotto Officer, Eileen Spring. Eileen’s work load as Lotto Officer has increased hugely over the past year and she has coped admirably with it. Not content with that, Eileen is also assistant treasurer at present and she is always eager to help out with underage training too. Our club chairman, Podge Leane presented Eileen with her award.

The Palm Oil Problem New Year- New You! It’s that time of the year when we are encouraged to undertake fitness regimes, detox diets and resolutions of all types to make you a better and healthier person. Imagine being able to boast that in the process of eating healthier you helped make a difference to save the tropical rainforests of South East Asia and its resident endangered wildlife? Well, this week’s small sustainable change may allow you do just that! The fruit of the oil palm tree (Elaeis guineensis), contain the world’s most versatile vegetable oils. Crude palm oil comes from squeezing the fleshy fruit and palm kernel oil is produced by crushing the kernel (stone) in the middle of the fruit. The combination of different types of fats and its consistency after refining make it a popular ingredient in packaged baked goods (bread, biscuits, and cakes) and chocolate. Its low production costs make it cheaper than frying oils such as cottonseed or sunflower. It functions as a natural preservative in processed foods and has replaced trans fats (hydrogenated fats) in ultra-processed food since the 1990s when they were recognized as having very negative effects on human health (20% of the weight of a pack of instant noodles for example is palm oil). In addition to its use in the food industry palm oil provides the foaming agent in virtually every shampoo, liquid soap and detergent. Up to 40% of cleaning products contain palm oil derivatives and cosmetics manufacturers prefer it to using animal tallow in lipsticks for example for its ease of application and low price (approx. 70% of global cosmetics contain palm oil). Palm oil is almost impossible to avoid as it is in close to 50% of the packaged products we find in supermarkets and without really thinking about it, globally we each consume an average of 8kg of palm oil each year. So what is the problem? Worldwide production of palm oil has been climbing steadily for five decades. Between 1995 and 2015, annual production quadrupled, from 15.2m tonnes to 62.6m tonnes and it is expected to quadruple again by 2050. Oil palm trees are native to Africa but were brought to South-East Asia just over 100 years ago as an ornamental tree crop. Now, Indonesia and Malaysia provide over 85% of the global supply of palm oil. The rapid expansion of palm oil plantations has led to the destruction of huge areas of the world’s most biodiverse tropical rainforest and is destroying the remaining habitats of already endangered species (e.g. orangutans, pygmy elephants, Sumatran tigers and rhinos) The impact on biodiversity has been worsened by the draining and burning of peat bogs upon which the rainforest stands, releasing vast amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and contributing to climate change. Wealthy consumers are capitalising on the cheap labour and valuable rainforest that developing nations are using to accelerate their economic growth but this model is not sustainable. Despite the destruction caused by the palm 22 West Kerry Live
oil plantations the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) does not advocate boycotting products using palm oil or using alternative vegetable oils. Palm oil is an incredibly efficient crop, producing more oil per land area than any other equivalent vegetable oil crop (5 times as much per acre as rapeseed oil, 6 times more than sunflower oil per acre and 8 times per acre more than soybean). It is perennial and evergreen, enabling year round production and it can succeed in soils that cannot sustain other crops. In addition, palm oil is an important crop to help grow emerging economies (it accounts for 13.7% of Malaysia’s gross national income and it is Indonesia’s top export) and there are millions of smallholder farmers who depend on producing palm oil for their livelihood. While it is the law to list palm oil as an ingredient on product labels, palm oil and its derivatives can be described by over 200 different names such as vegetable oil, vegetable fat, palm kernel, palmate, palmitate, palmolein, glyceryl, stearate, stearic acid, elaeis guineensis, palmitic acid, cocoa butter equivalent, palmitoyl oxostearamide, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-3, sodium laureth sulfate, sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium kernelate, hydrated palm glycerides, calcium lactylate, butyl sterate, E471, etyl palmitate, palmityl alcohol. This makes it very difficult for consumers to identify products containing palm oil even if they did wish to avoid it. So, what are the solutions? Palm oil can be produced sustainably. An association of industry and NGO (non-governmental organisation) members have been working together since 2004 to produce standards for sustainable production and certify palm oil production mills and plantations with the RSPO logo (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil). The RSPO logo aims to ensure that no primary forests or areas that contain significant concentrations of endangered species or fragile ecosystems have been cleared for the production of the oil, that workers are treated well and the community is consulted before the development of new plantations. This system is not perfect (e.g. sustainable palm oil can be mixed with non-sustainable oil; percentage traceability to the plantations is not as high as traceability to the production mills) but it is improving.
Approximately 15% of palm oil is currently produced sustainably and looking for this logo when buying products in the supermarket or researching the commitments and approaches of large corporations (e.g. Kerry Group, Unilever, Iceland, Aldi) to use sustainably produced palm oil in their products will help this percentage increase. 2. As with so many aspects of sustainability, much of the problem is the volume of goods and products we consume and whether we need those products in the first place (cleaning products and cosmetics will be dealt with in future articles). Most, if not all food products using or containing palm oil are processed or ultra-processed (the fasting growing markets for palm oil are in developing Indian and Asian economies as a cheap source of fat to satisfy the growing appetite for junk food). Reducing or eliminating processed foods such as mass produced crisps, confectionary and ready meals, from your diet will drastically reduce the amount of palm oil you consume. Think of the baby orangutans when you need motivation to keep your 2020 New Year resolutions.

A Call for West Kerry Woodland Olive Moloney I don’t know anyone who has not at least thought about what climate change will mean for their lives. It’s one of the reasons we moved back to Ireland, and to west Kerry in particular after watching the development of a community garden and farm on youtube in Moy Hill, West Clare, Growing. There are few places we’ve been where so many people are talking about and trying out local solutions to improve biodiversity and to address climate change, from Plastic Free Dingle to the recent Transition Kerry courses on biodiversity and climate change. There is so much local expertise and passion for creating better lives for the next generation.
facilitated. The topics that people congregated around for lively discussions were: Find land, Fundraising, PR, Education & Outreach, Events Calendar, and Resources Planning. For me, this film and the dialogue afterwards went to the heart of what it is to be alive – community connectedness, a sense of belonging and taking a place in this world alongside other natural beings, such as trees. Similar to the Anishinaabe people in Canada, we want to reforest the land, for all those beings who live in it and not just for us but for the benefit of future generations, the one’s who will experience the real effects of climate change and reduced biodiversity. You may be wondering what you can do – what is the ask? Whether you’re a blow-in like me, home for Christmas or a native of West Kerry, you may want to take this opportunity to be a part of the solution, to get involved in whatever way you can. You may not have time to give but you might be able to talk to someone you know about that land they aren’t using that could be planted. You could join the group or offer your skills to further the vision of a woodland for West Kerry. It will take a huge collaborative effort to realise the project, something I know can happen in west Kerry having experienced Féile na Bealtaine, Dingle Food Festival, etc. From securing land to collecting and storing seeds and young trees, to building a board of trustees for a Woodland Trust charity, everyone is needed. Can you help? Daoine Dúlra in association with Transition Corca Dhuibhne Please contact Darach Ó Murchú, domurchu@hotmail.com / 0872153758 https://www.facebook.com/Daoine-Dúlra-437236869970133/
It’s what brought us out to An Díseart on a windy Tuesday night to watch a film and chat with neighbours from all over the world about starting a community woodland. The hope is to establish a community woodland of native or naturalized trees somewhere on the western half of Corca Dhuibhne - an amenity space for everybody to use and for nature's benefit in an area bereft of woodlands. Having come from London, a concrete jungle in so many ways, and yet the greenest city in Europe, living in West Kerry, I miss trees. Call of the Forest: The Forgotten Wisdom Trees, is a beautiful homage to trees and features a Clare woman who now lives in Canada, Diana Beresford-Kroeger. Rather than present the usual depressing facts about climate change that can paralyse us, the scientist, molecular biologist and botanist Diana brought us on an informative trip around the globe through Japan’s sugi and cedar forests, Canada’s boreal forest, and of course, to Ireland, and what is left of our ancient oak forests. It was uplifting and at times deeply moving. I admit to shedding a tear at the 1% left of forest in Ireland – the lowest in Europe. Of particular interest to me as a healthcare professional are the multitude of proven benefits that people accrue by being in nature, such as reducing blood pressure, improving memory recall and reducing feelings of anxiety. Since London I’ve known that being surrounded by man-made objects, materials and lines heightens stress, and looking at or being with natural objects, shapes and curves decreases it. Australian researchers looking at different types of green spaces have found poorer mental and general health among adults in areas with higher percentages of bare grass nearby, or with a greater than 1 mile walk from a tree canopy - but there's likely more to that than meets the eye, such as less likelihood to walk in areas that are solely grass without amenities or with less features. All this is aside from the releasing of oxygen for us to breathe, immunoregulatory benefits of microorganisms, the trapping of carbon in the soil, and the botanicals that Beresford-Kroeger talks about in the film, which trees make available to us in the air. With sunbathing at best a sporadic pastime in Ireland, the film touched on something which we could readily adopt, the Japanese idea of treebathing – spending time among green canopies is so beneficial they have a word for it, shinrin-yoku. Not that we need to look to Japanese culture to see the deep importance of trees – the film reminded us that Ogham is an ancient Irish language that derives from trees, the lines and marks symbolising the different native trees of Ireland. Following the film, Darach Ó Murchú led the organisation and feedback of larger group discussions which other interested community members 26 West Kerry Live

Meatballs and Tomato Sauce Mark Murphy - Dingle Cookery School I hope everyone had a great Christmas and hope you all have a fantastic 2020. After all the festivities it is nice to get back to some good comfort food. And nothing says comfort better than something as simple as meatballs. Serve them with pasta or just have them as they are. Even though they are very easy to make, try to take your time and cook them a little slower and you will find the results are much better. Just look at the way Italians cook simple food, the one thing is obvious from all Italian food is the incredible flavour, their method is so simple; use the best ingredients and then cook with pride and care.
1 small onion diced finely small bunch of thyme leaves 1 garlic clove, crushed 1 egg yolk 60ml olive oil salt and black pepper For the tomato sauce 500g really fresh ripe tomatoes skinned, deseeded and diced (use a good can of tomatoes when you can’t find good tomatoes) 1 shallot, finely chopped
and garlic and cook for about 2-3 minutes. Put this in a bowl and let it cool down. Take the breadcrumbs and squeeze the excess moisture from them. In a bowl add the meat, cooked onions, egg yolk, salt and pepper. Mix all of this together gently. Take a little piece of this and fry it off in pan over a medium heat to check for seasoning. Adjust the seasoning if necessary. Form small balls of the mixture and place them on a tray. Cover and refrigerate for 10 minutes to allow to rest. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Cook the meatballs, turning, for 4 minutes or until browned. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a plate.
2 garlic cloves, crushed few thyme leaves
for the tomato sauce and cooking the meatballs
1 tsp. sugar
Heat the oil in a medium saucepan on a medium heat and add the shallot and pinch of salt. Soften for about five minutes. Then add in the garlic and cook for another two minutes. Add the thyme leaves and stir well.
dash of red-wine vinegar 2-3 stems of fresh basil 2 tbsp. olive oil salt and pepper Parmesan (optional)
Add the tomatoes, then the sugar, vinegar and the stems of the basil.
for the meatballs
Method
50g fresh breadcrumbs
for the meatballs
Cook this for about 10 minutes before adding the browned meatballs. Cook this for further 25 minutes over a low heat. Check for seasoning and adjust if necessary, add a little Parmesan if you want.
2 tbsp. milk
Soak breadcrumbs in milk for 5 minutes.
Serve with garlic bread.
500g minced meat (mix of pork and beef)
Meanwhile with a pan on medium heat add a little oil, onion and pinch of salt. Add the thyme

Rounding Cape Horn: My Guinness World Record Nuala Moore
‘Below 40 degrees south there is no law; below 50 degrees south there is no God’ The Drake Passage is between the Antarctic and the most southernly island of Cape Horn, Chile. It is a location where the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean and the Antarctic Ocean meet south of the islands of Cape Horn and it was the place where I went to take on my last swim. At latitude of 55 deg south, there is no land East or West as the world rotates on it’s axis. The power of the oceans becomes colossal, It is like an excited child running and racing without resistance, add in the wind and this is one of the most dangerous bodies of water in the world. Feared by mariners and seafarers alike, I felt that fear, and power when I made the choice to lower my body into the water and start my swim. It was the feeling that if anything happens, there is no one coming. The water temperatures were 7 degrees, the wind was howling, the sea was 14 feet swells but that was a calm day for Cape Horn. No other swimmer in the world had ever swam this far south of the southern tip. Last year in 2018, with the luck of both weather and timing, I became the first swimmer in the world to undertake this swim, starting in the Pacific ocean and ending in the Atlantic Ocean. It was 24 hours steaming in a boat from mainland Chile When we arrived at the back of Cape Horn, the commanding officer advised that the swim had the approval to start but the zodiac and the rescue crew could not accompany me on my swim as the sea state was too high. My choices were to take do the distance with just the support boat standing off me a few hundred metres, meaning I would be isolated and with
swell of fourteen feet, and I would need to trust my team, or the alternative option was to complete the distance on the inside of the bay protected by the land. The second option was the safest one it would be similar to swimming in Ballydavid or in Dingle Bay. It would just be a swim. I knew inside that I had to take my chances. I went back down deck, put on my hat and goggles. I took some time to think. My father and my grandfather were fishermen to the core, they trusted themselves and I have to believe we are the sum of the parts. I remembered so many quotes my father would tell me. The one I brought into the swim with me was that no storm can hit you on four sides. Find a direction. My father always drilled into me, to face the waves-to make sure you take everything head on. It’s where the control is. My decision was to believe I was capable and to trust my team. It was one of the swims where I was the most alert for every sound, every rev of the engines and mostly I never took my eyes of that headland. It was an honour to swim South of Cape Horn, very few people in the world will ever get to say that. Having this recognition as a World Record is fabulous for many reasons mainly for the value of the swim itself but also for the amount of life we exchange for it. Cape Horn was a huge journey for me. Below is the criteria of the swim. The Meeting of the Oceans Swim Challenge (was developed by Julieta Nunez and Cristian Vergara, Founders of Patagonia Swims, with the support and the Permission of the Chilean Armada, governance of the Cabos de Hornes). The swimmer must complete one mile under standard openwater swimming rules crossing between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, an imaginary line south of Cape Horn. Nuala Moore, under the guidance of Patagonia swim, completed the mile in 28 mins and was the first swimmer in the world to complete this challenge to swim the maritime boundary starting in the Pacific Ocean and finishing Atlantic Oceans defined as LONG 67°16'W. The swim got the go ahead by the commanding officer, keeper of the lighthouse of Cape Horn, Adan Otaiza Caro. Starting GPS coordinates
(LAT 55°59'43,7''S/LONG 067°17'00,6''W), more than a mile south of the island of Cape Horn, Significance being no land East or West of the swimmer. Swells of 3.5 meters in Drake Sea, safety team, safety rescue divers Chris Booker and Catherine Buckland. After swimming for 28 minutes in 7°C water, covering 1.71 kms. Nuala exited the water GPS LAT 55°59'47,2''S/LONG 067°15'24,2''W.The maritime line separates the Oceans is defined at LONG 67°16'W and has been verified and cross checked by an independent oceanography company BENTOS based in Santiago, Chile. The decision to start the swim is made by Chilean Armada, it's commander based on the light house "Alcalde de Mar" in agreement with our permits. The co ordinates of entry and exit determining the crossing of the Maritime Boundary was recognised & ratified by the Chilean Armada, Puerta William. Time of 28 mins Nuala completed the fastest mile crossing the Maritime Boundary. "If you ask yourself why? You have no place here" I am doing a talk on the swim in the next few weeks. I hope before the end of January in Benners Hotel (TBC) -I have some amazing footage and will be brining you though the swim and the challenges. Hope to see you there and thank you to everyone for their continued support in all my challenges.

Great fun was had by a dedicated cohort who took part in the Stradbally Wren, in less than ideal weather conditions this year. The wren group fondly remembered their friend, Ciarán Fitzgerald, on the day, while celebrating a revived local tradition. We wish to thank everyone for their generosity, which led to €1,520 being raised for Pieta House. Special thanks to all those who joined us; the talented musicians; our bus driver, Pat Barry; Nick and staff at Tomásíns, and Nora Flynn, for the food; and Kennedy's Coaches for providing the bus. Presentation of the funds to Pieta House will follow. 28 West Kerry Live

Breandán Mac Gearailt Tá feile na Nollag beagnách istigh agus An bhliain Nua éalaithe orainn go pas luiscíneach. Ach fan tá Nollaig na mBan fós le ceiliúradh agus teacht na Trí Rithe ón nDomhan Toir, a tháinig le brontaisí don Leanbh Íosa, b’iad san ór, túis agus mir.Threóraigh réílín iad. Bhí dreóilíní ar an mbóthar ainneoin na gceathanna báistí. Chuir Seán mac a’ ‘tSíghigh comaoin na teiliíse ar Dhreoilíní an Daingin a bhí go rábach gan aon bheann acu ar dhoineann an lae. Tháinig na sluaite ó chian agus ó chomhgar. Bhain idir óg agus aosta spraoí agus cleachta as an bhféile. Gan dabht bhí dreoilíní an Daingin á fhéachaint le chéile. Níor chuala gur bronnadh onóir ar aon cheann féleith. Óladh sláinte gach Dreoilín agus baisteadh go fial iad. Ainneoin na gceathanna níor cuir an bháisteach fuireacht baile ar a bfurmhór agus éireóidh déarfainn na mná amach don Nollaig Bheag nó Nollaig na mBan agus ní le méirnéis ach le gliadacht agus greann. Caid Thug foireann caide Chorcaí greadadh do Chiarraí i gcomórtas Idirmheánach caide. Ar an nDomhnach seo caite tugadar ceacht gan cháim do imreóirí Bhleá Cliath fé fiche bliain. Tá triúr nó ceathrar acu seo a bheidh ar fhoireann na sinsir Chorcai i mbliana. An bhfuil an tsean splanc ar barra ag na buachaillí cois Laoi. Fair amach dos na comharsain i mbliana. Niall Tóibín Bhí clár ar an dTeilifís in onóir do Niall Tóibín a fuair bás le déanaí. Fear cleachtan agus grinn b’ea Nioclás. Corcaíoch go raibh an- éirim ann le canúint áitiúil aon chontae a tharrac chuige. Is trua nár teaspáineadh breis dá chuid saothaír stáitse, radio, teiifis agus scannán. Ard chleachta bea é. Chuirfeadh sé na cait ag gáirí. Bhí máistreacht aige ar an nGaolainn agus gach canúint Ghaolainne aige agus is minic a chaitheadh sé chugainn iad.. Braithfidh saol na cleachtan agus na Gaolainne uatha an Corcaíodh sár thréitheach. Ní raibh déarfainn, aon dua aige cupla scéal grínn nó eachtrá a ínsint do Naomh Peadar ag geataí na bhFlaitheas má ba ghá. Tá Nioclás na cleachtan imithe uainn, seód Gaelach uiltréitheach bea. Ceantair Mheiriceá. Tás agam go mbíonn scéalta ar an dteilifís an Radio agus nuachtáin gur deacair a dhéanamh amach na bpríomh chatharacha atá ann agus a ndaonra.

Legal Alcohol Limits For Driving Question What are the legal alcohol limits for driving? Answer It is an offence to drive in a public place if you are too intoxicated to have proper control of your vehicle. An intoxicant can be either alcohol or drugs, or both.
