Dingle Cookery School Recipe
Mark Murphy Dingle Cookery School
This time of year, should excite everyone who loves to cook, the evenings getting longer, plenty of vegetables in season and it is the perfect time for comforting and hearty food. At the cookery school we always focus on the techniques of cooking. We believe that if you understand them well you can cook anything. The basics of a stew always remain the same, this one just happens to have beef, chorizo and a few spices. So, for a dark stew, brown the meat, add the vegetables, add enough liquid to cover everything and cook for a few hours until it is tender. Even though it is going to be cooking for a few hours, try to spend the first 20 minutes giving it plenty of attention, this is where you really make the difference. I always love to season any rich hearty stew with and tomato, stir this and put the lid back on and

The Skellig:s Islands on the Edge of the World
le
Peter Cox
‘The Skelligs are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and offer some of the most spectacular landscapes anywhere in the world. This book is the result of nearly ten years photography, and the final pieces of it came together when I realized a long-held ambition to photograph Skellig Michael at night. I also made images from the South Peak, the highest point on the island, and a very difficult spot to reach. A seemingly inaccessible pinnacle of jagged rock, the South Peak is also the pinnacle of the Skellig experience. The climb to it is dizzying, but not nearly as much as the experience of photographing from that knife-edge summit. Other Skelligs books have been published, but there aren’t that many dedicated photography books. I’ve never personally felt that they have fully captured the essence of these islands, nor matched the sense of awe that I feel when I’m there myself. The images in this book were captured from boats, aircraft and from Skellig Michael itself. I’ve been fortunate enough to overnight on the island. This is something very few people have done, and it enabled me to make photographs in light that no tourist ever sees.’ - Peter Cox An Café Liteartha

These are available in Spar, the Beach Box and the Village Pharmacy in Castlegregory and include beautiful, locally made ones. We would like to remind everyone to continue wearing them and not to become complacent as time goes by. If you aren’t in the habit of wearing your face mask, now’s a great time to start. It is good that the Covid 19 figures in Kerry are relatively low. Let’s do our part to keep it that way by complying with the practices advised by the health and safety authorities. Stay safe and many thanks for taking good care in the community! Tidy Towns will commence work again soon with all of the relevent restrictions in place.

Due to Covid 19 it will be more difficult this year - the priority is the safety of everyone and it is very important to adhere to social distancing and to the HSE regulations.
Obviously we will not be able to hold our Coffee Mornings like we used to but rather than abandon the idea completely we are wondering if people could partake in a virtual coffee morning. We are so very grateful for all the support that we have received from the whole county over the last thirty years. This, however, is one year where we cannot thank you in person, over a cup of coffee, for all the help you have given us. But, we would be delighted if, on 24th September, or any other day, you can raise your cup to yourselves and consider the enormous effort and goodwill that has helped build both an inpatient and outpatient unit, supporting thousands of patients and their families. Kerry Hospice Foundation has been a community organisation all the way, run and supported by ourselves. We are not finished - there is still work to be done. There will always be a demand for palliative care. It is our job to ensure there will always be resources to provide the best possible professional service. So join us on our virtual coffee morning, whether by Zoom, WhatsApp or simply sitting in your own kitchen enjoying your own company. Salute yourselves for all the contributions you have made. We too will be saluting you and your loyal support to this great self-help journey. Remember Ted Moynihan's wish 'You may never need the Hospice, but the Hospice will always need you'. We have Coffee Packs available, sponsored as always by Bewleys, should you wish to avail of them.

Comhghairdeachas le Rang 2020! Ó Choláiste Íde, Phobalscoil Chorca Dhuibhne agus Mheánscoil Nua an Leith-Triúigh, bhí bliain dhúshlánach agaibh ach is mór an rud é teacht go dtí an phointe seo - maith sibh! Congratulations Class of 2020! It’s been such a challenging year for you all and this week brings important milestones. Well done for reaching this point. We hope the path you choose leads you to achieving your potential and we have no doubt that the resilience you have developed this year will serve you well. We’d love to stay connected with you all - you are the people who may want to build your future careers and businesses from the Dingle Peninsula.

Go n-éirí an bóthar libh go léir agus fanaigí i dteagmháil linn! On Culture Night on 18th September 2020, we’re delighted to be hosting a performance by two local artists Silke Michels and Maggie Breen. The performance, which will be live-streamed from our office, explores freedom and isolation in a two metre square. Can freedom be found within these boundaries? This multi-disciplinary piece is part of ongoing work exploring our connections to closeness, our experiences of distancing and looks at what isolation means and how it affects us. The work is grounded in the personal experiences of the artists and captures how they each navigate these elements through movement and spoken word in their native languages - Irish, German and English. Léiriú a dhéanann iniúchadh ar saoire agus ar uaigneas i limistéir cearnóige dhá mhéadar cearnach. An féidir saoirse a bhraistint istigh sna teorainneacha seo? Is mar chuid d’oibre leanúnach é an píosa seo, a dhéanann iniúchadh ar ár nasc do chóngaracht, ár dtaithí ar a bheith scartha ó dhaoine, chomh maith le iargúltacht agus conas a théann sé i bhfeidhm orainn. Tá tionchar mór ag taithí pearsanta na n-ealaíontóirí; taispeánann an obair seo conas a dhéanann siad a mbealach tríd trí mheáin gluaiseachta agus focail i dteangacha dúchasacha na n-ealaíontóirí - Gaolainn, Gearmáinis, Béarla.
Time: 5pm - 5.30pm Genre: Performance Art/Movement/Spoken Word
