Despite the cancellation of this year's Féile na Bealtaine due to the Covid 19 pandemic, a Bealtaine fire was lit to mark the coming of summer. In the ancient past, to mark the passing of winter and the coming of more fruitful times, fires were lit on May eve. With the permission of the landowners and the Gárdaí a handful of Féile volunteers brought timber up to Eask Tower overlooking Dingle harbour to the north and Dingle Bay to the south. As the sun went down the fire was lit as reminder of our past and a beacon to brighter days ahead.

Farming News Louis Murchan BISHOP OUTLINES CHALLENGES FACING THE CHURCH DURING COVID OUTBREAK This may not be entirely agricultural or farming related, but faith is the cornerstone of our rural community and many members of all faiths have suffered by not being able to practice their religion in what was the traditional fashion. However, non-attendance at church ceremonies is not a sin, but just an inconvenience. Many devout worshippers miss the routine and the sense of being part of a community of faith, but all return back to normal, when the time is right. Our own Bishop in the Diocese of Kerry, Dr Ray Browne holds dear the commitment of his community, as do all religious leaders in the county. One midlands bishop says that says adapting to the coronavirus pandemic has been challenging for the Church and its people, and that 55 per cent of priests in the diocese are cocooning. The recent lifting of restrictions has eased the situation for many, but close contact, and house calls are still not possible at the present time. Confirmations and First Holy Communion ceremonies have also been put on hold, and may be held later in the summer, depending on when restrictions are lifted. it's been a particularly difficult time for the bereaved, with only ten people allowed to attend any funeral, and our thoughts go out to all who have suffered at this stressful time. But all are asked to be patient and strong. There is light at the end of the tunnel. DAFM NEMATODIRUS FORECAST 2020 Nematodirosis is a severe parasitic disease of lambs six to twelve weeks of age which become infected through ingesting large numbers of infective larvae from grazing on contaminated pasture. The life cycle of the causative worm, Nematodirus battus, is unlike that of other roundworms in that typically it takes almost a year on pasture before the egg hatches releasing the infective larva. There is a mass hatching of eggs in spring when the soil temperature increases after a period of cold weather and disease typically occurs in April, May and June. After ingestion by lambs, Nematodirus larvae invade the wall of the intestine. Infection is characterised by profuse diarrhoea, dehydration and weight loss. In outbreak scenarios, lambs can be seen congregating around water troughs due to the severe thirst that develops, while the ewes which are unaffected continue to graze. This disease is best prevented by keeping the current year’s lambs off pasture that was grazed by lambs or young calves (which can be carriers of infection) in the previous year. Enterprises with high stocking rates are particularly vulnerable. Please note that twin lambs, or single lambs born to ewes of poor milking ability may be at a greater risk of developing disease as they begin consuming greater amounts of grass earlier in life. If ‘clean’ pasture is available, preference should be given to moving these lambs first. Along the south west coast, lambs should be dosed with a suitable wormer (anthelmintic) by the third week of April while lambs in the rest of the country should be dosed between the last week of April and the first week of May. However, consideration should be given to dosing lambs earlier on individual farms where clinical signs consistent with Nematodirus are observed as the above treatment guidelines are based on the anticipated peak hatch of eggs. The best wormers to use are Benzimidazoles (white drenches). These are the treatment of choice for Nematodirus infections and are effective against both larval and adult stages. The use of this anthelmintic class as the first-choice treatment option will also help to reduce the exposure of other worms such as Trichostrongylus and Teladorsagia to the other anthelmintic classes (e.g. macrocyclic lactones) at a point in the grazing season when treatment for these may not be necessary. This will help to sustain the effectiveness of these drugs and is particularly important on farms with pre-existing issues of benzimidazole resistance in populations 8 West Kerry Live
of the common stomach/intestinal roundworms. Please note that currently there are no drenches with effective residual activity against Nematodirus. This means that as lambs continues to graze they can become re-infected with larvae, and as a result may require repeated treatments with the same or similar wormers at two to threeweek intervals. It is also important that farmers are aware that other parasites can cause diarrhoea in young lambs which require different control measures and medication. Nematodirus can be wrongly assumed to be the cause of severe diarrhoea in lambs when in fact the cause is a coccidial infection. Rotation of pasture and frequent movement of feeding troughs and watering points to drier areas will help prevent coccidiosis in young lambs as localised poaching creates moist conditions suitable for the spread of coccidia. Raising feeding troughs will also help to reduce the contamination of feed with faeces and hence transmission of coccidiosis. In some cases, nematodirosis and coccidiosis can occur together, giving rise to severe disease. 2-YEAR CAP TRANSITION ‘MUST BE BACKED’ BY BUDGET COMMITMENT The prospect of a two-year transition period for the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) “must be backed” by a commitment to keep funding for the CAP at its current level during that period, according to one farm organisation. This is in response to a decision last week by the European Parliament Committee for Agriculture and Rural Development to back plans to extend the CAP for a two-year period, due to Covid-19. Given the huge and unprecedented uncertainties facing farmers at this time, particularly in relation to Covid-19 and farm incomes, there is a clear onus on our politicians at national and EU level to ensure that an appropriate transition agreement is in place. The transition was “absolutely essential” due to the “uncertain time-frame for the conclusion of the overall EU budget; the finer details of the CAP reform; Brexit; and now the Covid-19 pandemic, according to the leader of one of the main Farming Bodies, the ICMSA. Farm schemes are a very significant part of farm income across all sectors and while there is presently a level of certainty regarding the BPS [Basic Payment Scheme] / Greening payment during the transition period, there is no such certainty around schemes such as GLAS, TAMS and ANC. These schemes are all due to come to a conclusion at the end of 2020 and the incoming government must commit to their continuation during the transition period – whether that’s one or more years – and so provide a level of certainty to farmers on their income and on the important environmental component Any extension of CAP provides a chance of stability and a clear future for farmers and must be welcomed. With a current budget deficit of over €7 Billion as compared to €3.2 Billion this time last year indicates that we are on the back-foot financially in this country. This transition period offers the Government Departments (especially DAFM) a great opportunity to renew schemes that will help farming develop for the future. There are over 3,000 farmers currently locked out of the GLAS scheme and allowance and consideration of this situation must be made over the coming months, and they must not be excluded from such schemes for the next two years. BPS APPLICATION DEADLINE This is the final reminder that Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) and Areas of Natural Constraint (ANC) Applications must be submitted before tomorrow week, Friday 15th May 2020. This also applies to any applications to the Young Farmer Scheme (YFS), or to the National Reserve (NR). Other requirements that need to be completed before this deadline are the BEEP Scheme, Transfers of Entitlements and applications under an ER.1 for a herd Number. Given the restrictions due to self-Isolation and Social Distancing, it is not possible for advisors to carry out their normal house-calls, or office visits, so farmers are asked to get themselves into gear, if they haven’t done so already and make that call. All farm details are on file and available to farm advisors, and can (and in fact must) be made on-line. Be assured that no advisor will leave anybody behind, and it is their brief and their vocation to ensure that all BPS etc applications are filed, on-line and on time. If you have any worries or questions, make that call. BUT, if you have already sorted your application out, don’t call, as to many calls to an advisors office will eat up his limited time.
KEEPING GRASS RIGHT To keep grass right, no farmer should be making a decision on grass without walking the farm. It is proven that increasing the number of grass covers improves decision making as a result. This increases performance and profit on farms. There is surplus grass on farms at the moment and this should be baled to keep quality grass ahead of livestock. Cattle should be grazing grass covers of 9-10 cm and sheep should be grazing covers of 6 cm to maximise intake and performance. Rotation Length should be 20 days. If cattle are on a 40 acre holding, livestock should be grazing 2 acres/ day to ensure sufficient quality/quantity ahead of them. If livestock are not grazing this amount of area per day, far away paddocks can be closed off for silage. Drystock farms should be operating a rotational grazing system, where livestock are moved on every 2-3 days. If cattle/ sheep are in a paddock any longer, ragwort will be encouraged Regarding fertiliser and slurry management, all paddocks where there is silage taken off should receive and all chemical fertiliser should include sulphur. Protected Urea should be used where possible while Straight Urea should not be used given the warm, sunny conditions. Anywhere that did not receive slurry or compound fertiliser, should get a compound fertiliser to boost growth (where there are allowances).

Dingle Notes Richie Williams EVENTS. The West Kerry Agricultural Show has been cancelled for this year due to the present lockdown restrictions. Beidh sé ar ais arís an blian seo chughainn le cúnamh Dé. September looks to be the month for multiple activities on the Peninsula with a lot of events rescheduled for what we hope will see a full return to normal life again. The Dingle Marathon takes place on Saturday 5th over the usual half and full courses. The Dingle Races have booked the following weekend from 11th to 13th for their annual fixture.
so we appeal to our readers to continue to support all the outlets who are open and ensure the jobs of all who are providing a wonderful personal service at risk of their own health. A lot of the outlets who may not be visibly open are actually providing an online service so details of how to contact them are printed elsewhere in this edition. CORONAVIRUS SUPPORTS.The contact number for the Dingle GAA Community Support Initiative is 087-6338124 if you need help and want medicine, shopping or fuel delivered to your door. An Gairdin Mhuire Centre in Green Street is providing a daily delivery of dinner to their clients and other elegible people so if you know someone who might benefit from this service contact 066-9151300.
The Dingle Walking Festival is back on the calendar this year now fixed for Friday 18th to Sunday 20th.
The present crisis has thrown up many problems which in fairness the authorities have been doing their best to overcome with various initiatives. However we all need to try and overcome the personal problems that confront us and our immediate family members.
The Dingle Regatta is still scheduled for August 15th and 16th with the All Ireland Coastal Rowing Championships on the following weekend also in Dingle Harbour.
PHYSICAL HEALTH is something we can all try and keep in shape by getting out and about as often as possable with the pleasant weather of late coming at the right time.
The Ride Dingle Cycling Events are also rescheduled for Saturday August 15 based in Dingle.
FINANCIAL HEALTH - there are some supports available from various institutions so it is up to everybody to seek out the information from these outlets. There is light at the end of the

tunnel which appears to be getting closer every day so on the financial front have hope and seek support if you really need it. MENTAL HEALTH. This problem we all have to overcome at some stage in our lives. Very often a number of people who get depressed when they are faced with difficulties in life turn to addictions of various kinds which of course are only short term remedies. The best way to try and deal with ones problems is to discuss them with family, workmates, friends, medical practitioners or members of the clergy. We should all be on the lookout for signs of depression in our family circle or neighbours or friends and be prepared to take action without delay by directly approaching the person or contacting someone else who may be better qualified to deal with the situation. POLITICS. It is now over 3 months since we went to the polling stations to elect a new Government. All I can say is come on Ladies and Gentlemen in the political world, we voted for you to show some leadership, to take responsibility and we expect you to do so as soon as possible. It appears to me that some of those not committed to the talks process are hedging their bets and ensuring come the next election they cannot be blamed for the unpopular decisions necessary to get the country out of the present crisis. Yes we elected you to run the country so get on with it and engage in the talks process without delay and leave the parish pump politics aside for now. SLAN TAMALL!!! West Kerry Live 9

As Cill Chuáin i gCorca Dhuibhne do Jack Máirtín ó dhúchas, ach tá sé ag cur faoi i mBaile Átha Cliath ó 1934 agus cónaí air ar an gCarraig Dhubh ansin. “Éirigh ar maidin, agus coimeád sa tsiúl, agus sin é an chiall go bhfuil mé ar mo chosa fós a Dhara, mar éirím ar maidin agus coimeádaim sa tsiúl. Is cuimhin liomsa, nuair a bhí mé i mo leaid óg, na pinsinéirí fadó nuair a bhfaighidís an pinsean, b’shin é an ceann scríbe. Bhídís sa tsiúl go dtí sin, ach ansin maidin lá arna mhárach, bhídís suite sa chúinne agus ní bhogfaidís a thuilleadh, mar cheapadar go raibh an cúrsa rite acu, agus an chéad rud eile bhíodar imithe...”

Come for Dinner...
“Ná caill do spéis sa tsaol ... Bí ag déanamh rud éigin más féidir leat, sin í an chomhairle is mó a thabharfainn duit. Gairdín beag a bheith agat, nó rud éigin go mbeadh suim agat ann.” Ba léir gur fear é Jack nach mbíonn díomhaoin. D’inis sé do DharaDinner Ó Cinnéide go raibh na prátaí curtha aige, agus an t-athchré curtha orthu, agus go raibh páipéar an lae léite aige ar maidin roimh an agallamh. Ba mhúinteoir a bhí i Jack i gcaitheamh a shaoil, agus chuaigh sé ar scoil i Scoil Naomh Eirc i mBaile an Mhóraigh. Tá sé anois ar an iar-scoláire is sine de chuid na scoile, agus dúirt sé go raibh sé ag súil go mór leis an gceiliúradh 100 bliain i 2021. Ag caint ar a óige i gCill Chuáin, dúirt sé gur ‘aoibhneas’ an focal a ritheann leis le cur síos a dhéanamh air, cé go raibh daoine beo bocht. “Aoibhneas. Cé go rabhamar bocht agus gan faic againn, agus dá mbeadh pingin agat an uair sin bhíos i’d mhilliúnaí, sin é chomh bocht is a bhíodar an uair sin. Ach bhí saol breá ann mar bhí comhar na gcomharsan agus ná haon rud eile, daoine ag féachaint i ndiaidh a chéile, b’fhéidir go bhfuilid fós, ach n’fheadar bhfuil siad chomh maith is a bhíodar an uair sin.”

We’re on the Roadmap to Nowhere .. or Somewhere, You Decide! Irene Ní Fhlannúra
heat, she also asks that we cool down! Get the right balance by including as many cool green foods as the red and fiery ones. Cucumbers, melon, young leafy greens (baby kale, spinach, rocket, salad leaves) are hydrating to all cells, helping to flush toxins while cooling down inflammation and excess heat. Magnesium, found in the same young greens also help calm down agitated blood vessels and neurons, reducing both physical and emotional stress – another good reason to stay the course. Our Summer feast is not complete without our oils. Drizzle a cold-pressed olive oil or avocado oil on salads and vegetables for heart-friendly monounsaturated fat. Omega 3 from wild, oily fish or cold-pressed flax seed oil is the lubrication needed to keep the show in the flow, preventing stickiness in the blood and maintaining the fluidity of cell membranes. Omega-3 plays an anti-inflammatory role in all areas of the body and most recently has shown promising results in dampening the cytokine storm responsible for the most serious of complications of Covid-19.
The excitement about the new set of guidelines in the ongoing Coronavirus crisis would have been comical if it were not so serious. We now have a “roadmap” for returning to some sense of normality over the course of the next few months. The overwhelming feeling is of frustration and disillusionment rather than that of optimism, as the Government advises on a terribly slow and gradual ease of restrictions. The proposed “roadmap” spans the whole Summer season, from early Summer, beginning in May to the end of August, which rolls into a period known as Late Summer. Curiously, the timeline for the Covid-19 exit is built on a road that has existed all along, the natural cycle of the Seasons. While it might not have been intentional by our leaders, the true spirit of Summer offers a parallel roadmap we can adapt to, one of health, ease, joy and creativity. The stability and reassurance we need are just a side-step away from us right now in the form of Summer – a time to strengthen our resolve, ignite the fire in our bellies and benefit from a timely emotional lift and nutritional boost to our hearts and minds. Our urge to gather and congregate outside the boundaries of the homestead is greater during the Summer as the weather and longer daylight hours allow for these activities. It is unfortunate that Covid-19 and the government’s roadmap has put a stop to most of our galivanting and carousing this Summer. This is a great challenge for the whole of society and the consequences may be felt for a long time. However, the greatest Summer gains are felt by just being outside. Fortunately, observing Nature and stocking up on Vitamin D only needs you! Here are a few ideas of going with the flow while keeping your distance – rise early and catch the dawn chorus, gardening, walk barefoot on grass/ sand, swim in the sea, practice yoga or tai chi in the back garden, try out mindful walking, simply sit outside and breathe! Think of activities that are more enjoyable and more suitable in the Summertime, now you are following the Parallel Roadmap! Summer energy, or Fire energy feeds the heart, vascular system and the small intestine. Simply put, seasonal food is most nourishing to these organs and likewise, the organs are more receptive to a seasonal tuning during the Summer season. With the heart and mind so intricately connected through the expansive network of blood vessels and nerve cells, when you feed the heart you nourish the mind. Summer foods are a colourful, juicy, fresh array of fruits and vegetables. Eaten raw or with minimal cooking, Summer foods provide a rich supply of antioxidants and vitamin C supporting our blood and nerve networks, with extra resources to boost our immunity. Most interestingly, these foods often resemble the heart in shape and colour - tomatoes, strawberries, raspberries, beetroot, hawthorn berries - rich red colours and plump round forms. Go boldly along the Parallel Roadmap adding a little fire to your dishes with hot spices such as cayenne, chilli, paprika and pepper which are vasodilators, increasing blood flow around the body and reducing blood pressure. Interestinly, chilli and cayenne are used in anti-viral remedies, as they increase the temperature in the oral and respiratory tracts, hampering the virus’ ability to invade and replicate in our cells. Another good reason to heat things up in the kitchen! Mother Nature has a sense of humour – while she wants us to create some 12 West Kerry Live
The emotion connected to the Summer, and therefore, the heart is JOY! We often refer to the word “heart” when describing love and joy – “heartfelt”, “bighearted”, “sweetheart”, “heart-warming” and the like. The opposite of Joy is sadness - “heartache”, “disheartened” and “heartbroken”. Even though modern medicine is reluctant to connect emotions with the physical biology of organs, the remnants of a once-held belief is carried through in our language. The Parallel Roadmap cultivates joy through selfcare and community spirit. The only obstacle on this road is you, be kind. Covid-19 has not stopped the arrival of Summer, nor will Autumn or Winter be thwarted. Our resilience depends on our ability to adapt and flow with the least amount of struggle or stress. The Parallel Roadmap is not an alternative route, but more like the ditches that dictate the road’s direction. The opportunity to follow the unwavering and dependable Mother Nature is to be grabbed by both hands, washed for at least 20 seconds in soapy water first, of course!

Marking The Feast Of St Brendan in Restricted Circumstances In recent years, a small group of people have marked the feast of St Brendan on May 16 by connecting many of the places associated with the Patron of County Kerry. They have done this on foot, by bicycle and by climbing Mount Brandon and celebrating mass on the mountain on the feast day. The places which were usually included in their pilgrimage were Fenit, Ardfert, St Brendan’s Church Tralee, Castlegregory, Cloghane, Mount Brandon and on to Cuas (Brandon Creek) in the west of Dingle, where St Brendan is said to have left on his voyage to the New Lands. Due to the current situation of restricted movement, it will not be possible for anybody to undertake the pilgrimage to mark St Brendan’s feast day this year. However, the idea has been put forward of looking at the initiative from a very different perspective; that is, various people linking the different sites connected with St Brendan, while remaining within their five kilometre radius. It is planned that individuals, or those in the same household, will select a stone from the beach at Fenit, close to St Brendan’s birthplace. They will start the journey and set the stone down at a designated point within five kilometres. The stone will then be taken up by another individual or household and brought a further five kilometres on the way to Cuas. The process will be repeated until the journey from Fenit to Cuas is completed. It is hoped to start on Tuesday May 12 as this will give five days for the full distance to be covered. From the birthplace St Brendan near Fenit the stone will travel to Cuas via Kilfeonora, Cathair Airde, Ardfert Cathedral, Termon Eirc, Weather’s Well, the churches in Tralee, Curraheen, Camp, Castlegregory and Cloghane. As restrictions this year will prevent inclusion of mass on Mount Brandon, the journey will be via Dingle, Carraig and Feoghanagh and ending at 14 West Kerry Live
Cuas. On the route which has been selected there are eight churches of different denominations dedicated to St Brendan; they are Ardfert (Church and Cathedral), Tralee (St Brendan and Our Lady), Curraheen, Kilgobbin, Killiney, Cloghane, and Carraig. Though all buildings will be closed, it is hoped to pass by them. All physical distancing, hygiene and hard surface disinfection procedures will be in place. It is hoped that the fine weather will continue and that the event will divert our attention for a moment from the understandable concerns which we all have at this time. Anybody living on the route as outlined and who would like to be part of the event, is requested to contact Michael Fitzgerald at 087 2523467 or stbrendan2020@hotmail.com As considerable organisation will be required, the earliest possible contact with Michael will be appreciated.

And here a great multitude kneel each Sunday and holiday to worship their Creator! In wet weather the floor is knee deep in mud, while the rain runs freely through the huge crevices above, and the wind roars through the roof and rafters – threatening at every gust to blow the whole wretched makeshift to pieces. The wonder is how it has been kept together at all.
Revenue Seize Tobacco From – Saunders’s News-Letter, 8 September 1821 His Majesty’s Revenue cruizer [sic], Griper, under Lieutenant Figg, has arrived in Kilrush, with two wherries, laden with tobacco. One of the vessels was captured by the Second Mate of his Majesty’s Revenue cruizer, Diligence, in one of her boats, in the inner sound of the Blaskets, with eleven men on board. The other vessel was captured by the Second Mate of the Griper, in one of her gigs, near Doulish Head [sic], Dingle Bay. The crew escaped, notwithstanding the most active exertions, and an incessant fire of musketry kept up by that officer and crew.
Narrow Escape From Shipwreck From – Kerry Evening Post, 21 December 1872 The Prussian brig Marie, of Barthe, with a cargo of timber from St. John’s to Caherciveen had a narrow escape from shipwreck on that most dangerous of all places, Inch Bar, on Tuesday last. It appears she was out 52 days and experienced all the recent very severe weather. She lost her chief mate, who was washed overboard, as well as having her deck swept clean, her topmasts and sails gone and steering apparatus damaged. She and her crew were only saved by the bravery of the Messrs Flaherty, the Dingle pilots who boarded her in a heavy gale of wind, and brought her to under Minard Castle. The crew suffered much from want of water and provisions. They were most hospitably treated by the coastguards.
Castlegregory Drowning From – Dundalk Democrat, 29 June 1861 A fine young man named John Bunyan, about 21 years of age, lost his life on Thursday evening about six o’clock, while bathing. He and a young lad named O’Brien went to the strand to bathe. Neither could swim. Bunyan soon got out of his depth and sank. Young O’Brien, in his efforts to save him, was seized by the drowning young man, and with great difficulty extricated himself from his death grasp. The Coast Guard boat was immediately launched, and, owing to the active exertions of boatman Sullivan, and the men with him, the body was recovered after being in the water about 40 minutes. The ordinary means for restoring animation were applied but without success. [Timothy Sullivan was a Commissioned Boatman in the Castlegregory coastguard in 1861].
Killed By Lightening From – Saunders’s News-Letter, 30 October 1810. Tuesday last, a dreadful flash of lightening burst into the house of Thomas Wallis, between Tralee and Dingle, which killed a woman on the spot, and burned two children, one aged four, and the other two years, in a very severe manner. Wallis had the side of his face and one of his legs dreadfully burned.
It is impossible for the most callous hearted not to pity the priest and the people who have to use such a place for the celebration of the most sacred mysteries of religion.
Schooner Survives Storm From – Kerry Examiner, 30 April 1841. The schooner Jane and Mary Anne of Cork, bound for the Shannon, Richard Pritchard, master, after encountering the dreadful hurricane of Saturday morning, arrived in Dingle harbour that evening with the loss of all hers canvass, together with her mast and yards shattered. She presented a melancholy spectacle on her entrance to the harbour and were it not for the masterly and very great physical exertions of the Captain she would have been a total wreck ere now.
The Wreck Of The Ulysses From – Saunders’s News-Letter, 14 April 1823 A few days since, a large vessel, the Ulysses of Bristol, was found abandoned off the Blasquet Islands. She was boarded by the Water-guard who found her rudder carried away and the vessel in a sinking condition. They were obliged to leave the ship and gain the shore at the imminent risk of their lives. Shortly afterwards the vessel drove, with her sails set, on the cliff, at or near Dunmore Head, parish of Dunquin, and was instantly dashed to pieces. Her cargo consisting of American timber, oak and black birch has been since floating about and driving on shore in all directions.

Carrig Church 1870 From – Tralee Chronicle, 30 September 1870 The Catholic Church, ‘Carrig chapel’ is the most miserable structure we ever looked at. Outside it appears like a long-deserted cow house but get inside the door and you will see a spectacle that will certainly cause your nerves a shock. The roof has given way in several places and the thatch has entirely disappeared at others.

Stories from the Waterside – Storytelling Competition County Kerry, just like everywhere in Ireland, has a rich heritage of storytelling. It is part of our national identity and defines who we are as a nation. Stories bring local places to life and help us to remember and cherish what makes those places so special and to pass it on to future generations. Kerry’s rivers, lakes, streams and sea have long been associated with Irish mythology, inspiring legends and folklore through the ages. They are beautiful, forever changing with the seasons and people have lots of stories and memories around waterbodies. With changes to our countryside, some of this is being lost, and so a story-writing competition has been launched by the Local Authority Waters Programme (LAWPRO), in partnership with The Heritage Council and The Heritage Officer Programme, Inland Fisheries Ireland and Waterways Ireland, to capture these stories. In the European Union, streams, rivers, lakes, estuaries, canals and the coast are referred to as waterbodies, and each waterbody has something special about it. The stories can be factual – recording what is special about wildlife, fishing, heritage, traditions and crafts, or just how things were or are – or they can be from your or someone else’s imagination. The storyteller doesn’t have to be an expert and there is a category where the teller of the story can be interviewed by someone else: a great way, maybe, for a family member or friend to share memories with others, especially during this period of increased isolation. Breda Moriarty, Community Water Officer with LAWPRO and based in Co. Kerry: ‘We hope that everybody in Kerry with an interest in their local waterbody will take part in this exciting competition and share their stories with us. Local communities are the ones who have knowledge about their waterbodies, and it is that local knowledge that make these stories so special’. The competition is open to everyone, with under-18 and over-18 categories and entries can be in English or Irish. The closing date for entries is 31st May, 2020. 16 West Kerry Live
To enter, just write your original story in 600 words or less: it can be a story of your own or one that you have been told. There are great prizes to be won to a total value of €4000, made up of 10 prizes worth €300 each and 10 prizes worth €100 each. The lucky prize winners can choose from local providers to do any of the following with family or friends: guided fishing for the family, zip-lining over a lake, family kayaking adventure or other water-based activity. You can choose book tokens or arts and crafts tokens if you prefer! Prizes will support local businesses and operators. 3 ways to enter: •

GOOD DEED It was lovely to see Ocean View our local Nursing Home on RTE News receiving a delivery of complimentary flowers from Jiska, Flower Farmer who decided to give her flowers away this year due to the lack of demand. A lovely generous gesture, I'm sure appreciated by all in Ocean View. IRISH TRADITIONS - MAY In olden times it was a custom to walk the farm on May Eve with a bottle of Holy Water. Usually Easter Holy Water, that is water that had been blessed during Easter. This was sprinkled in the four corners of the farm, in the gaps, and on the animals, using a palm branch, which had been blessed on Palm Sunday, to keep them safe for the coming year. It was believed that it would keep the fairies away who would steal the cream off the milk and therefore the profits for the year. This custom still exists among some farming folk and nowadays it is more of a blessing on the Farm and animals. MAY ALTAR Some families erect a May Altar in their home. Grottos, Shrines and Church Altars are decorated with flowers in May, the month of the Virgin Mary. QUIET REFLECTION Ar scáth a chéile a mhaireann na daoine !

Small Changes: Packaging Waste
cup. Napkins, single use cutlery (even compostable options), milk and sugar sachets, stirrers and cup lids can all be avoided while cup holders can be reused if required. The same types of considerations apply when getting take-away food.
Any business with a turnover of €1 million that places 10 tonnes or more of packaging on the market must comply with packaging regulations. Essentially this means that they must ensure the waste they put on the market is recycled and they are also required to take back similar types of waste from the consumer. In its purest form the idea is that a shopper can leave packaging behind them and the shop or business is obliged to take it. This is not ideal for most businesses but in Ireland, a company can avoid the situation if they sign up to REPAK.
Food packaging obviously has an important role to play in protecting food and in some cases extending the shelf life of a product (e.g. shrink wrapping cucumbers reduces moisture loss to extend shelf life and reduce food waste) but a lot can be avoided especially with regard to fresh food (there is no evidence that Covid-19 is transmitted on food or food packaging). Choose loose fruit and vegetables rather than pre-packaged and pack them in your own reusable bags. Dedicated fruit and veg shops and market stalls generally offer more choices of loose produce so you can support local businesses and avoid excess packaging at the same time. If you choose to buy organic produce, finding a local supplier is advisable as organic fruit and vegetables are almost always pre packed in supermarkets so they don’t get mixed up with the conventionally produced products. Many butchers and supermarkets with fresh meat counters will allow you to bring your own Tupperware for meat and the same applies for prepared salads, bakery products etc.
REPAK is a business-led compliance scheme licenced by the Irish government to fund the recovery and recycling of packaging on behalf of Irish producers so that they are not obliged to take packaging waste back from consumers. Companies pay fees to REPAK based on the amount of packaging waste they produce so REPAK undertake to do their recovery and recycling for them. REPAK in turn uses the money to subsidise household recycling bins, bottle banks and various other recycling schemes. REPAK has been incredibly successful and Ireland has surpassed every recycling and recovery target set by the EU for all materials. REPAK and other producer responsibility initiatives such as WEEE (waste electrical and electronic equipment) have made Ireland one of the top performing countries in terms of municipal waste recovery and recycling (municipal waste is a mix of household waste, commercial waste of a similar nature e.g. office, café waste etc. and cleansing waste e.g. street cleanings, public waste bins).
These initiatives are deserving of credit. However, these schemes like most of the global effort to address the waste crisis, are focused on waste management rather than waste prevention or preparation for reuse which ignores all the resources used through the whole life cycle of a product. There is very little incentive for companies to reduce the amount of packaging waste they produce and because household recycling costs are subsidised, we as consumers pay little attention to the amount of waste we generate. Despite our exemplary recycling statistics, every person living in Ireland produces an average of 577kg of municipal waste annually, the sixth highest level per capita in the EU and Ireland is the top producer of plastic waste in Europe (60% from packaging). If any lesson can be learnt from the COVID-19 pandemic and applied to the environmental crisis it should be that individuals, commercial enterprises and governments must all work towards the same goal to achieve success. At government and business level progress towards a circular economy (a regenerative economic system aimed at eliminating waste and the continual use of resources as opposed to current linear economy which is based on a take, make and dispose model) for packaging is very slowly being made. Initiatives such as the implementation the single-use plastic directive for example and the REPAK members voluntary ‘plastic pledge’ are all helping to reduce unnecessary packaging. The contribution of individuals cannot be underestimated especially in terms of the power we wield as consumers. The following are some small changes and actions we can all take to reduce packaging waste. AVOID The best way to manage waste is not to produce it in the first place by rethinking your choices and reducing consumption. For example, 22000 coffee cups an hour (200 million a year) are disposed of in Ireland and so a keep cup is the obvious choice to reduce this waste stream. Some outlets have temporarily stopped accepting reusable cups due to concerns about COVID-19 (tips on contactless exchange can be found on http://consciouscup.ie) but waste associated with takeaway beverages is not limited to the 18 West Kerry Live
REDUCE, REUSE, REPURPOSE
It is obviously impossible to avoid all packaging but it can be reduced significantly by considering some of the following. Avoid buying individually wrapped sweets, chocolates and biscuits. Choose refillable options. Consider loose leaf tea and alternatives to coffee pods if you have coffee machine. Buy in bulk when possible (or the largest size suitable to your needs which will also avoid food waste) especially nonperishable items. Paper, cardboard, glass and aluminium can theoretically be recycled indefinitely so choosing goods packaged in these materials is preferable over single use plastics. Most condiments and sauces offer the choice between plastic and glass packaging for instance and soft drinks can be purchased in cans. If you must buy water or fizzy drinks then buy the largest bottle you can rather than multiple small bottles which are usually sold in plastic covered multipacks. When online shopping, there is usually a comment box for special instructions. Consider asking the retailer to reduce packaging where possible for your order. It is also worth noting that packaging waste from online shopping purchases from foreign retailers do not fall under the remit of REPAK so its members unfairly bear the cost of collecting and recycling this packaging – yet another reason to shop local and Irish. Reusing and repurposing packaging is limited only by your imagination or the time you have to do an internet search. Glass bottles and jars can be reused over and over for the storage of anything from food and drinks to pens and hairclips. Children will always find a good use for a large cardboard box but cardboard boxes of any size can be used as storage containers, for children’s art and craft (crèches and preschools are always grateful for cereal boxes!), mulches in the garden or a surface protector when painting. Butter containers are excellent for freezer storage of soups, curries, sauces and stews while yogurt pots can be used to propagate seeds and plastic bottles can be used to protect new seedlings that have been planted out. Soft plastics such as cling film, crisp packets, sweet wrappers etc. can be used to make eco bricks (a plastic bottle packed with used clean and dry unrecyclable plastic which can be used in construction of furniture, walls etc.) thus avoiding landfill or pollution of the environment.

RECYCLE Recycling is preferable to landfill or incineration but should be viewed as a last option rather than a solution to dealing with waste. Until governments and industry embrace a circular economy we as consumers have the responsibility of disposing of packaging correctly even though we have limited control to address the issues related to excess packaging.
Morans VTN Dingle
According to a waste characterisation study carried out by the EPA in 2018 over a quarter of the waste currently collected from household recycling bins does not belong there. Glass, metal, wood, textiles, food, garden waste and hazardous waste do not belong in the recycling bin (or the black bin for that matter). In addition, in some parts of Ireland contamination can be as high as 36% because people place items with food and drink residues on them into the recycling bin which leak onto dry recyclables so the entire contents of the bin (and possibly the collection lorry) will end up in landfill. Next week’s article will deal on how to recycle better and dispose of waste responsibly but adhering to the mantra of ‘clean, dry and loose’ as advocated by waste collectors is the simplest advice to follow.

Scéal Shiobhán na nGeimhleach Roibeard Ó Cathasaigh
Thug sé aghaidh ar na Rossa (Ros Beithe) as san go Cromán agus stad níor dhein sé gur shroich sé an Barra (an sruth nuair a bhíonn an taoide tráite idir na Bainc agus Oileán Inse). Lena linn sin bhraith sé an cailín taobh leis, agus d’fiafraigh sé di cad a bhí uaithi, agus dúirt sí go raibh sí ag imeacht leis. Chomhairligh sé dhi gan a dhéanamh, go raibh an tóir ina dhiaidh féin agus ná raibh ach an ainnise i ndán dó. D’inis sí dhó an grá a bhí aici dhó. Níor dhein sé ach í a bhualadh ar a dhrom agus shnáimh sé an canáil agus thanadar isteach go hOileán Inse. Shiúladar leo agus stad níor dheineadar gur shroicheadar Cinn Aird i bParóiste Lios Póil. Cheap sé ná raibh aon áit chomh h-iargúlta leis an mbaile sin, agus go mbeadh sé sábhalta ann. Bhí an fiach ina dhiaidh i gcónaí agus sa deireadh fuarthas amach é. Bhí sé teanntaithe. Dúirt an Captaen leis ná raibh aon bhreith aige ar a anam a thabhairt leis ach chomh beag le léimt thar barra na binne ansan. ‘An scaoilfir liom má léimim thairis,’ arsa an fear óg. ‘Scaoilfead,’ arsa an Captaen. Dhruid sé amach ó bhinn an tí, thóg sé fáscadh reatha (dash) agus chuaigh sé de léim thar barra na binne. ‘Sea, ar m’onóir,’ ars’ an Captaen, ní raghaidh mé i ndiaidh m’fhocail, bíódh cead do chos agat choíche.’
Pic: Mossy Donegan Beannachtaí bláthúla Bealtaine chugat, a léitheoir! Misniú dom gur léirigh léitheoirí Corca Dhuibhne Beo suim im mhír ar thoibreacha Chinn Aird agus an tearmainn ó phláigeanna a ghabhann leo – Tearmainn Fhíonáin, in eagrán 9-23 Aibreán ’20. Seo má sea, blaiseadh beag breise ar ábhar gaolmhar ó bhéaloideas an cheantair chéanna, le spreagadh ó Pháid Ahern ó Bhaile Ristín a luaigh ‘Leac Shiobhán na nGeimhleach’ liom tar éis dó m’alt a léamh. Deir Páid liom gur chuala sé scéal Shiobhán na nGeimhleach ó Jim Brien, Cinn Aird le linn dó siúd a bheith in Ospidéal an Daingin thart ar 1999, an bhliain gur léigh an tEaspag Bill Murphy aifreann cois Thobar Mhuire, Cinn Aird, tús samhraidh, mar chlabhsúr is mar cheiliúradh ar shaothrú an tsaesúir ag Clubanna Óige Chorca Dhuibhne is an Leitriúigh, agus chun slán d’fhágaint leis an seanamhílaois is fáiltiú roimis an mhílaois úr.
Tharla, tamall ina dhiaidh sin go dtáinig Siobhán ag lorg a h-iníne – Bean de Mhuntir Dhonnchadha ab ea í – fuair sí tuairisc go raibh sí i gCinn Aird (ó bhean siúil i leagan Chinn Aird). Bhí sí ag tarrac ar an áit sin agus dhá chapall bhána fén gcóiste aici. Bhí an galar uafásach san an cholera go forleathan i gCorca Dhuibhne an uair chéanna. Bhí na bailte a leanas, Cinn Aird, Tobar na Múdán, Fothrach, Com a’ Lóndraigh, agus Áth an Charbail saor ón aicíd mar bhíodar faoi thearmainn Naomh Fhíonáin, agus bhíodh daoine ag bailiú isteach sna bailte sin chun go raghaidís saor uaidh. B’é treo go dtáinig Siobhán fé dhéin Chinn Aird ná tré Dún Sián aniar. Bhí an galar ina fuil aici sarar shroich sí an Trá Bheag. Fuair sí bás ar an dtaobh thiar den dtráigh agus is ann a cuireadh í. Dá n’eireodh léi gabháil thar an abhainn a ritheann tríd an tráigh nuair a bhíonn an taoide amuigh bheadh sí saor ó ghalar. Tá leac mhór fhada os cionn na huaighe ar imeall na trá agus cros gearrtha uirthi – Leac Shiobhán na nGeimhleach. Deineadh cúpla iarracht ar an lic d’aistriú ach fuarthas í san áit chéanna maidin lar na mháireach. Bean ana-naofa dob ea Siobhán agus thug sí ana-chabhair dos na bochtaibh le linn an drochshaoil.
Táim buíoch do Bhreandán Ó Cíobháin as a thacaíocht i dtreo an ailt seo, agus dar ndóigh, do Mossy Donegan dá phictiúr glé den leac a thóg sé go speisialta chuige.

Finscéal Shiobhán na nGeimhleach
Leagan Chinn Aird den scéal
Deirtear go bhfuil dhá insint ar gach scéal, agus mar a tharlaíonn tá dhá leagan den scéal ‘Siobhán na nGeimhleach’ i mBailiúchán Béaloidis Bhunscoileanna Lios Póil a bhailigh príomhoidí na scoileanna úd idir 1937-’38
Tá leagan Chinn Aird den scéal ar aon dul cuid mhaith le leagan na nDúnta, ach go bhfuil roinnt difríochtaí gur fiú trácht orthu, mar leanas:
a)
Tús an scéil: Bhí buachaill i gCinn Aird uair agus pé coir a dhein sé do theich sé, agus ’sé’n áit gur shocraigh sé fé ann ach in Uíbh Ráthaigh.
insint dar teideal ‘Siobhán na nGíleach’ ó Scoil Chluain Chumhra a bhailigh Seán Ó Súilleabháin, ‘cuid de ó Mhícheál Ó Súilleabháin, Baile an Ístínigh, agus an chuid eile óm athair Dúshlán na binne: agus óm mháithair i gCinn Aird’ …Thánadar (na saighdiúirí) go Cinn Aird ar a lorg, agus nuair a bhraith sé b) insint den scoth eile dar teideal ‘Siobhán an nGeimhleach’ ó ag teacht iad chuaigh sé isteach sa tseanafhothraigh – an seana-sháipéal Scoil na Min Airde a bhailigh Mícheál Ó Caomháin ó Mhícheál – ag teitheadh uathu. Ó Cinnéide (70), Na Dúnta, leaganacha den scéal ó dhá thaobh an pharóiste, a léiríonn go raibh Teacht Shiobháin go Cinn Aird: an finscéal forleathan go h-áitiúil breis is ceithre scór bliain ó shin, agus mar bharr air sin, tá an scéal le clos ó bhéal na muintire i gcónaí, mar a chífimid ar ball. Seo leagan na nDúnta den scéal ó bhéal Mhichíl Uí Chinnéide.
Siobhán na nGeimhleach Dhein fear óg darbh ainm Ó Muircheartaigh coir éigin agus b’éigean dó dul ar a choimeád. Bhí an tóir ina dhiaidh agus breab mór airgid le fáil ag aoinne a inseodh don arm cá raibh sé le fáil. Ní fada a stadadh sé in aon áit. Shiúil sé Uíbh Ráthach, agus tharla samhradh agus é i nGleann Beithe gur ghaibh sé thar bráid díreach agus Siobhán na nGeimhleach agus a h-iníon ag crú na mba ar an mbuaile. Bheannaigh sé dóibh agus tar éis tamaillín ag cabhrú leo thit an iníon i ngrá leis agus ba bhriseadh croí di é d’fheiscint ag imeacht. 20 West Kerry Live
…Tamall ina dhiaidh sin do ghaibh bean siúil an treo, ón áit gurbh as an cailín agus d’aithin sí an cailín láithreach agus do chuir sí gach tuairisc uirthi. Nuair a chuaigh sí abhaile d’inis sí an scéal go léir do mháthair an chailín. Do ghluais an mháthair ar thuairisc na hiníne ach sarar shroich sí tearmainn Fíonáin do bhuail an droch-aicíd – an cholera a bhí ag imeacht an uair sin – í. Ní fhéadfadh an tseanabhean bás d’fháil sa tearmainn ar a shon go raibh sí á snoí (wasting) ag an ngalar. D’ordaigh an sagart dóibh í thógaint amach thar teorainn an tearmainn. Thogadar sall trasna na Srúille í go Dún Sián agus chuireadar ina luí ar lic ansan í. Leac Shiobhán na nGíleach a tugtar ar an lic riamh ó shin. Aistriú na lice: …Tá an leac san ar chladach na Trá Bige ann fós ar thalamh an Imligh. Ar thalamh Dhún Sián a bhí sí ina seasamh go dtí gur thóg Chute í go Chute Hall in aice Thrá Lí (c.1849). Déarfadh daoine leat ná raibh rí na rath ar Chute ná a mhuintir ná ar a ainmhithe an fhaid a bhí an leac aige ann i slí is gur b’éigean dó í a chur ar ais mar a bhfuair sé í.
Local legend of Siobhán na nGeimhleach What follows is a summary of the local legend of ‘Siobhán na nGeimhleach’, of which we have two versions in the Schools Manuscript Collection, National Folklore Collection, UCD, one from each of the two schools on opposite ends of Lispole Parish from 1937 – Scoil Chluain Chumhra and Scoil na Min Airde (both schools are closed now and are replaced by Scoil Eoin Baiste). ‘Geimhleach’ means ‘captive’ or ‘prisoner’, but is spelt ‘gíleach’ as the word is pronounced in the Cinn Aird version of the story. The legend is told locally to this day: A young man from Cinn Aird committed a crime and as a result was a wanted man with a large bounty on his head. He made his way to The Iveragh Peninsula and worked as a farm labourer but didn’t stay long on any one farm. One evening as he passed by, Siobhán na nGeimhleach and her daughter were milking their cows. The young man saluted them and lent them a helping hand. The daughter instantly fell in love with him and followed him to Rossbeigh and from there to Cromane. He tried to persuade her go return home but to no avail. He then put her on his back and swam across the canal to Inch Island on their way home to Cinn Aird where they married and settled down, all the while being pursued by the army. The soldiers cornered him eventually, but he made an amazing escape by jumping the gable end where he was hiding having laid a bet beforehand with the army officer who was about to arrest him, that if he did so he would set him free, and so he did. Meanwhile Siobhán na nGeimhleach – the girl’s mother – came to the area seeking her daughter, but contracted cholera while on her way, breathing her last breath at Dún Sián where she was laid to rest near the strand close to where the ogham stone is to be found today. According to the legend she would have survived had she come into Tearmainn Fíonán/St. Finian’s Sanctuary by Cinn Aird’s Holy Wells before she got the cholera.
Ogham Stone at Dún Sián Strand Below is the outline of the ogham stone which is at the heart of the legend drawn by Seán Ó Súilleabháin OS (who collected a version of the story in 1937). To quote from Suirbhé Seanndálaíochta Chorca Dhuibhne: “the first such stone to be recorded in this country. An account of it is included in a manuscript note by Edward Lhwyd dating to about 17027, … Curran refers to the stone as Cloch an tSagairt … Leac Shiobhán na nGeimhleach is erroneously applied to the stone.” Mention is also made of an old church and graveyard at the strand. A plain Latin cross is inscribed on the present upper surface. The ogham inscription which runs along one edge of the same face reads: BRUSCCOS MAQQI CAL(I)AC(I; Cuppage (1986, 255). Brosc Mac Cailligh > Brosc Son of Cailleach, in today’s terms.
Breda Enright and daighter Aisha would normally be among the many participants in the Féile na Bealtaine parade on the Sunday of the May Bank Holiday. Despite the cancellation of this year's festival the pair still donned the fancy dress and stilt walked around town. Maith sibh!
Líníocht den leac ón ls. le Seán Ó Súilleabháin O.S. Ted Creedon informed me that two stones are to be found in close proximity at the north-eastern end of Dún Sián Strand, 1. The ogham stone known as Cloch an tSagairt (contemporary photo of this ogham stone by Mossy Donegan included); 2. A stone close-by which is barely visible above ground today, of which Thomas Sheehy (1942-2007) told Ted once that according to tradition Siobhán na nGeimhleach used that same stone to mount her horse – evidence that the legend lives on to our own time. Finally, to quote Fr. Jim (Thomas’s brother) on recent inquiry: ‘In olden times the locals would mount their horses from that rock as they set out on their journey with butter to market in Cork.’ Source: Bailiúchán na Scol, Scoil Chluain Chumhra.

Milltown Castlemaine GAA Darkness into Light Run / Walk’: The Corona Virus and associated restrictions is very challenging for all. Some people might find it more worrying than others and may need some extra support. There are many things we can do to mind our mental health during times like this. Most people’s lives will change in some way over a period of days, weeks or months. But in time, it will pass. These challenges are putting extra strain on the many mental health support groups who are doing tremendous work- especially here in our own county. Covid 19 restrictions have impacted immensely on the fundraising events for these voluntary groups and so we here in our club are embarking on our own ‘Just Giving’ fundraiser for Pieta House. The event - a ‘Darkness into Light Run / Walk’ can be completed anytime between 5pm on Friday May 15th and 5pm on Sunday May 17th and over a distance of between 1 and 5 km. We hope as many as possible will participate in this fun initiative and of course any donation will be most appreciated. Make sure to take plenty of photos to document your walk/run. You can dress in club colours or fancy dress is also be an option. So if you want to be a Cinderella and be home from the ball before midnight then the 11-12 slot might suit you. All the dashing princes might like to step it out then too! Or maybe you’re the ‘early bird that catches the worm’ and so a sunrise saunter might be your cup of tea. Perhaps a post brunch brisk walk is your preference! So all you need to do now is choose a time that suits you/your family and let us know on 087/6536631. We ask all participants to please familiarise themselves with the HSE Guidelines that are current on that date and fully adhere to them when participating.
Baked eggs are always delicious and are a great treat for breakfast, brunch or lunch. The sauce here will be smoky and will have and nice heat to it. You can always make a larger batch and serve it with chicken and pasta or serve it with sausages and chickpeas. In this recipe I have sprinkled a little sumac over it, the dish will be delicious without it too if you don’t have it. Sumac is a fragrant spice from the middle east, the next time you are shopping for spices I would recommend getting it, it has a citrus and tangy flavour and will add great colour to dishes. It is so tasty with lamb, fish, prawns, chicken and roast vegetables. Check out our Dingle Cookery School Facebook and Instagram pages where we post a new recipe each day. Ingredients olive oil 1 onion, sliced ½ red chili, seeds removed and sliced 2 cloves garlic, crushed 1 tsp. smoked paprika 2 tbsn. harissa 1 tin of plum tomatoes 200g spinach, washed 1 block of feta, cubed salt and pepper sumac (optional) Method Preheat the oven to 170ºC Put a pan over medium to low heat, add a little oil then add the sliced onion and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 3 minutes, add the chilli and garlic. Cook gently for another 3 minutes or so. Add the smoked paprika and harissa paste, stir this to mix well and then add the tomato. Turn down the heat and cook for about 15 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Add the spinach and feta and mix through the tomato sauce. Using a spoon make 4 dimples in the sauce, one in each quarter, add an egg to each one and season with salt and black pepper. If you have sumac, sprinkle some over the top. Put this in the oven for about 10-15 minutes. Serve with some crusty breads or pittas. Bain taitneamh as!! West Kerry Live 25

Marita Conlon-McKenna Dá olcas inniu é, ba mheasa aimsir an tSasanaigh é. Seo leabhar nua le scríbhneoir oilte. ‘Ireland’s hopes for freedom are dashed with the arrival of a deadly potato blight that strikes terror in the heart of its people. 1845. Seamstress Mary Sullivan’s dreams of a better future are shattered as she looks out over their ruined crop. Refusing to give in to despair, she must use every ounce of courage and strength to protect her family as they fight to survive. Dr Dan Donovan is Medical Officer to the Skibbereen Union. The arrival of ’The Hunger’ soon brings starving men, women and children crowding into the town and the workhouse, desperate for assistance. Fr John Fitzpatrick’s faith is tested by the suffering that surrounds him as his pleas for help fall on deaf ears. Inspired by true Irish heroes, The Hungry Road is the heartbreaking story of the Great Irish Famine told by one of Ireland’s best loved writers.’ - Transworld Ireland An Café Liteartha Bóthar an Dadhgaide, Daingean Uí Chúis Siopa Leabhar an Daingin ó 1979

West Kerry GAA Breandán Fitzgerald Covid-19 Response The Government announced last Friday that the current restrictions regarding the Covid-19 pandemic will be extended until 18th May. So please continue to follow all medical advice such as washing your hands and physical distancing. On May 18th if our battle with Covid-19 continues to show us beating this virus, a five-phase road map for how Irish society and the economy will slowly reopen will be introduced. In this road map from 20th July, the Government says GAA teams will be allowed resume some activities, but only where social distancing can be maintained. In the meantime, the Association is encouraging all members to continue to follow the guidelines which have been provided by the health authorities. Flatten the Curve The best way to prevent the spread of Covid-19 is by us making a decision to stay at home and avoid all unnecessary travel and follow what the Health Authorities are telling us. By physically distancing ourselves by at least 2m from other people and following the medical advice – Wash - Cover - Avoid - Clean - Stop – Distance.
Wanted / Ag Teastáil
We control ourselves, what we do, say and post so don't wait for others to lead or show you what to do. Please practice social distancing by physically distancing yourself from other people while continuing to talk on phone and online to your family and friends. Look out for your neighbours, ring them to see if they are ok and have a chat.
Wanted All types of store and Factory sheep. Payment on the day. Phone 0876522357
Please be responsible in what you say and publish online and do not spread panic by sharing unverified sources of information or chain messages in WhatsApp or on your Social Media. Stay positive and have a routine which includes exercise.
