Love Your Mask!
Sewing, especially machine sewing, can be torture to some. So here is a shortened and modified version of the HSE's very simple design for a cloth face mask. To check any details look at the HSE's website or key in the words 'HSE Ireland cloth face coverings'. Masks will become more necessary as we start moving around again and tourism picks up. Masks are certainly a factor in keeping other people safer. Let’s do it! Carry a couple with you always in a clean bag. That way you will be ready for anything – such as popping in to see an older person or going into a busy shop for icecream. Keep a second bag for used masks.
Hopefully you can find fabrics that you like at home, possibly recycling a finely woven scarf or a t-shirt. I've met someone proudly wearing a chopped-up Man United hat, together with hairbands at the ears. That required creative thinking when she was in lockdown. I have seen another mask that reads 'I'm actually smiling'. Why not make a plain mask and add your own graffiti? Wear it with pride. (No garden ornament was harmed in the preparation of this article.)
- Úna Ní Shé Urraithe ag Cumann Sláinte Intinne Chorca Dhuibhne.
1. Cut two pieces of cloth (cotton, silk or linen) measuring 25cm x 15cm. 2. Find some elastic tape or hairbands or cloth tape for tying on the mask. Stitch the top and bottom edges of your two pieces of cloth, making a tube.
3. Fold in the two side edges. Iron them so they stay put. Place the elastic along the fold and stitch alongside it so the elastic is held inside. You will need a 15 cm loop of elastic to go around the ears. Or, if you prefer, tie the hairband elastics in a bow at the back of your head. Be sure that you can open it easily when you are taking it off again. Avoid touching the front of the mask. Remove it from behind. Pop it in a bag which you keep for the used masks. Machine wash the mask at 60 degrees or put it in a bowl of freshly boiled water before hanging it out to dry.

How to be a Superhero Dr. Peadar Ă“ Fionnain
few weeks - going into shops and around at times wearing one. Socially it can be quite an uncomfortable experience (though I think I've got over it now) and I've had a few funny looks and comments. People sometimes ask me if I'm worried about getting infected. I think we see those we think of as either vulnerable or paranoid wearing masks - so they're often seen as a cause for pity or sign of weakness. What we're being asked to do now is wear them as a population in shops or similar situations - the main purpose is to stop us spreading to others - not so much to protect the wearer. It's not a sign of fear, it's showing that you care! I've also been observing those who do wear masks - most people are awkward about it, frequently put their hands to the mask to adjust it. The mask is essentially a bug harvester, so we never touch the front of the mask - only the straps, and only then very rarely. If you do touch the mask, you should wash your hands. Once you take it off ideally you pop it in a bag for washing, so you would need to have a few. Having fun designs on them can make it feel more friendly.
As we enjoy the last days of having the place to ourselves we are also looking forward to getting back the lifeblood of the economy here, tourism. While it's obviously going to be a very challenging summer for all businesses it does seem as if we'll have a busy few months ahead, with lots of visitors from all over the island, and possibly even beyond. So far we have existed as a fairly idyllic back-water to the pandemic, our low population density, and remote location helped to keep the caseload exceptionally low. While we have made big changes, and sacrifices too, the actual pandemic was kinder to us than elsewhere. This is likely to change, I feel. And even though nationally we might not have an overwhelming surge in infections, there will be a brisk enough throughput of bodies here to ensure that we get a flow of ongoing cases. As a peninsula (leith-inis) how we behave as a community will be critical to how these cases are contained. I've been conducting social experiments with mask wearing these last
If we can manage to normalise mask wearing, visitors are likely to follow suit. The same goes for the other (more important) measures of hand washing and watching our metres. Businesses will obviously need to think through the choreography of what happens in their workplace, and figure out how to maintain compliance. You need to be very very clear, and a bit bossy, to do this. Alcohol gel needs to be really prominent at the entrance, and customers need clear signalling as to what they can and can't do. It goes against the grain of being welcoming, so obviously you need to find new ways of showing this. As cases are identified businesses and employees will be taken out of circulation for periods of time, and also visitor numbers will drop if we're seen as unsafe. If Dingle can show we are competently managing the risk, visitors will be more at ease (and I guess more likely to spend too). Wearing of masks correctly is one clear way of showing we are competent at this. So, by wearing a mask you are making normal life safe for everyone, helping our businesses back on their feet, you're allowing the weak and vulnerable to come out and (if it helps) you can imagine you're a superhero!

Farming News Louis Murchan MEALBINS & SILOS NOW ELIGIBLE FOR TAMS 11 GRANT AID As of recent, meal bins and silos are eligible for TAMS 11 Grant support for all farm sectors. The grant can significantly offset the cost of a meal bin by up to 60%” for qualified young farmers, and 40% for all others. With farmers looking to increase the return on investment and with higher herd sizes being the norm, this grant supports farmers who are looking to protect themselves against feed shortages and improve biosecurity. Farmers can save upwards of €30 per ton by buying in bulk. The grant is calculated based on reference costs. Single silos have a base reference cost of €2200 (where the silo is going on a new concrete base) or €1900 (on an existing base) plus an additional €68.50 per cubic metre capacity. This is potentially of major benefit to farmers as Split silos offer many advantages. You increase the efficiency of the farmyard space; you can store two feeds in the one silo as well as using one feed system to handle both feed mixes. As with all grants, there are terms and conditions which must be adhered to, but to be fair they are fairly straightforward in relation to Meal Silos. •
The concrete for the Silo base must be a minimum of 3m x 3m by 250mm thick and should be grant approved concrete of 37 Newton concrete.
•
All silos will need to be supplied painted unless the silo will be erected inside an existing building.
effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. Farmers, finishers and food businesses will also benefit from access to the Government’s liquidity and investment responses to Covid-19 impacts, including the expansion of the Future Growth Loan Scheme for capital investment and Microfinance Ireland loans for working capital. While the banks have extended their payment break from three months to six months for those directly impacted by Covid-19, the Government has announced an expanded Credit Guarantee Schemes, which will support working capital lending to SMEs, including farmers and fishers. In addition, food businesses are eligible for the Covid Working Capital Loan Scheme, as well as Enterprise Ireland supports to maintain business continuity and liquidity, and Bord Bia supports to accelerate eCommerce and expand marketing activities. This has to be a welcome announcement considering the turmoil caused by Brexit, the (on-going) dispute with the beef factories and the current Covid-19 crisis. To date there has been over €200 million in new money made available to the beef sector, over a two year period, (not specifically targeted at Brexit, Covid-19 or the factories), and €300 million under the Beef Data and Genomics Programme (BDGP). Following a campaign by Member States, spear-headed by Ireland, the European Commission introduced a scheme of aids to private storage under the CAP for certain dairy products, and certain beef and sheepmeat cuts. Farming specific supports available include: an increase in the budget for the Calf Investment Scheme to €4 million; bringing forward of balancing payments under GLAS and the Organic Scheme; and various practical flexibilities for applications for the main farm schemes.

establishment of a Food Ombudsman, whose remit will be to improve transparency in the sector – including price transparency. One specific task of the ombudsman will be to oversee the transposition of the EU’s Unfair Trading Practices (UTP) Directive into Irish law, and the implementation of the directive as it relates to the agricultural sector. The ombudsman will also have a key role in market monitoring and reporting. Appeals review panel:- According to sources, the agreement also makes provision for a new government to bring forward legislation to create an ‘Independent Agriculture Appeals Review Panel’. This body would review appeals made by farmers to the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. At present, appeals are made to the department, which decides on any appeal unilaterally. This new panel, when it is established, will be independent – i.e. not under the auspices of the department. It is understood that this panel will have representation and input from farming bodies, which is being described as an “important step”.

Dingle Notes Richie Williams COVID-19 STREET PLAN. Kerry County Council have published their plan for social distancing on the streets of Dingle which include some contentious proposals. The plan highlights the closing of Strand Street to through traffic for most of the day as one of 3 high density pedestrian areas and the removal of up to 30 parking spaces in various streets where the pavement does not allow for 2.5 metres between people walking these areas. The Business Chamber is coordinating online and face to face meetings to try and get consensus to please most of the issues raised over the past few days by residents and business operators. Kerry County Council are working on the extension of the Green Street Car Park next to the Church and hope to facilitate 20 extra spaces there in the next few weeks to relieve the situation especially in that street. BUSINESS RETURNS. It is great to see most of the business outlets opening their doors again as the restrictions are eased nationally. One issue highlighted in the online discussion with the County Council was that staff parking all day take up valuable spaces along most of our streets. We renew our appeal to people who work in the town centre to park their vehicles in the perimeter of town where there is adequate space for safe day long parking. After all most business outlets are only a few minutes walk from a vehicle parked in the perimeter of Dingle Town. There appears to be a great demand for take away food at present with a good number of outlets taking orders online for collection only. Yes initiative and hard graft was never an issue in the Dingle Business community.

Our sincere thanks to Joe for such a beautiful gift and to Kerry County Council Management and crew who undertook the task of securing the structure in a prominent and safe location. Of course the train which functioned up until 1953 actually passed the very spot where the replica is now situated when taking on cargo from the Pier. When the present restrictions are lifted it is hoped to organise a talk on the history of the train and unveil/welcome the replica as part of a proper public occasion. CUL CAMPS. The news coming from Croke Park is that they will organise Cul Camps starting from July 20th but numbers are likely to be restricted to club members for this year. Full details in our next edition. POLITICS. We appeal to the Party members who are presently voting on the Programme for Government to get on with it and back their respective leaders to get the new Government in situ as soon as possible. Surely all the talks over the past 5 weeks have covered the main issues dividing the parties so time to take and accept the responsibility we have voted them in there to do. Yes it is a big change to see some of these parties coming together but the governing of our country comes before anything else in these fast changing times. T.V. Most T.V. stations seem content to show repeat after repeat of nearly programme over the past few years. Great credit is due to T.G.4. who have come up with interesting programmes many of which highlight the importance of our language and culture suitable for viewers of all ages.

Unravelling Vitamin K, The Mysterious One! Irene Ní Fhlannúra There was a time when scientists believed that only four nutrients (macro nutrients) were vital for humans to survive – namely carbohydrates, fats, proteins and water. They were on the right track for quite some time but soon were back to the drawing board after newly discovered diseases came to the fore. They noticed that even when humans had access to adequate amounts of macro nutrients, illness and even death occurred in the absence of any obvious infection, toxin or injury. It is hard to imagine a time when we did not understand the role of vitamins in human health, but for long periods of our history, humans died of diseases of deficiencies before they copped that there was more to health than first thought. From around the late 19th century, the scientific community began to discover another branch of nutrients, now called, micronutrients, that were needed in smaller quantities yet essential, not only for our survival, but for our survival in good health. The term vitamin was coined by a Polish biochemist, Casimir Funk in 1912, when he formulated the concept of vitamins or “vital amines” and paved the way for others to isolate, identify and name the vitamins now recognized to be essential to all human life. Vitamins were named alphabetically in the order in which they were discovered, beginning with vitamin A. They were identified in quick succession soon after first one with B, C, D and E getting their recognition. Vitamin F (linoleic acid) was put on the transfer list when it was re-classified as an essential fatty acid. Vitamin G is now B2 and vitamin H is now Biotin, also part of the vitamin B complex. Similarly, vitamins H and I were like the Bs, so they were put on that team too. This explains the big gap in letters before we get to vitamin K, now you know! What we now know about vitamins is more than what was understood a few decades ago, and less than what is yet to be discovered. Science is constantly evolving, and the human body is an intriguing yet complex subject. Saying all that, our knowledge of vitamin K is just as fascinating as all the other vitamins, yet public awareness seems lacking. COVID-19 has catapulted it into the limelight as scientists grapple for answers as to why some people get extremely sick and die while others go unscathed with little or no symptoms. Vitamin K is best known for its role in the blood clotting process. This was discovered 1929 when Danish scientist, Henrik Dam was investigating the role of dietary cholesterol by feeding chickens a fat-free diet. After several weeks, the chickens began to suffer from frequent bleedings which did not stop when fat was re-introduced. Dam figured there had to be something else in the diet that prevented the bleedings. Years (and many chickens) later, he isolated a component in hemp seed that stopped the haemorrhaging and called it the coagulation factor, soon to be known as Vitamin K. Decades later vitamin K was further classified into K1 and K2. Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) is solely found in plants – green leafy vegetables, lettuce, cabbage, broccoli and brussels sprouts while K2 (menaquinone) is found in liver, eggs and fermented foods such as cheese and natto (fermented soybean). Vitamin K2 is also produced by our own gut bacteria. These bacteria are particularly fond of the fibre found in the K1 foods (leafy greens and cruciferous plants) - eat more K1 to get more K2 seems to be the lesson here! Babies are born without the necessary bacteria to make K2 and breast milk is a poor source of it, therefore a vitamin K injection has been recommended for newborns to prevent the risk of internal or external bleeding during their first few weeks of life, until their own bacteria kicks in. Recently K2 has been further classified into MKs - MK4 and MK7 now known to be co-factors in preventing osteoporosis and calcification of arteries. There is a risk now that they will run out of letters! 12 West Kerry Live
Vitamin K in all its forms is absorbed in the small intestine, metabolized rapidly with only a small amount of it stored in our fat cells. Deficiencies can occur when there is a fat malabsorption issue (as in gall bladder disease, Crohn’s disease, Cystic fibrosis). Defective coagulation leading to excessive bleeding and bruising is the most common symptom. However, optimum vitamin K intake (which is always more than the RDA) is associated with improved bone density and reduced arterial stiffness. There is no upper limit for dietary intake of vitamin K1 or K2 because it is metabolized so quickly and much of it ends up in our pee and poo. However, those taking Warfarin or other anti-coagulants should not supplement with Vitamin K. Preliminary research into COVID-19 suggests that patients with extreme symptoms have low Vitamin K levels. As the researchers explain, COVID-19 causes blood clotting and leads to the degradation of elastic fibres in the lungs, which is where vitamin K may play a regulatory role. Just as in the past, we await further advancements but, for now, we can be confident that to eat more greens, more fermented foods and take care of our gut bacteria is always a good move!

Castlegregory house outrage
Edited By Ted Creedon
On the night of 23rd of July, a house in the village of Castlegregory, the property of John Roughton, was maliciously pulled down by persons not yet identified. Chief Constable Coote, of the Dingle station, received information of the occurrence on the following evening, from Constable Burke of the Castlegregory station.
Shipwreck near Dingle Harbour From – Hampshire Chronicle, 28 January 1788 On the 24th of February an unidentified sloop struck a rock near Dingle harbour, in Ireland, and was smashed to pieces. This accident resulted in the loss of all on board. The following morning a number of empty casks were washed up on shore and bore the marks ‘Butter, Cork.’
Sank off Brandon Head From – Kerry Evening Post, 1 October 1851 We regret to report the wreck of the barque Joseph Huskissos, which was sailing from Crookhaven to Limerick. When she was some 20 miles off Brandon Head she was struck by heavy seas and thrown on her beamends. The mainmast was cut away to lighten the vessel which began to take on water. Some time later the barque Anna, from Liverpool and bound for Tralee, fell in with her and rescued the whole crew and an old woman of 76 to whom the Captain had given passage from Crookhaven to Limerick.
Blasket Seizures From – Kerry Evening Post, 6 August 1890 The seven canoes and the yawl seized on Tuesday last from the inhabitants of the Blasquet Islands, for non-payment of rent, have been given back to their owners on the payment of £42. In a separate case a colt and a heifer belonging to Batt Manning of Gortadoo, near Ballyferriter, were seized for rent due to the landlord, the Earl of Cork.
Ballyferriter church in ruins From – Freeman’s Journal, 17 February 1883 The late storm has resulted in the almost total wreck of the Catholic church in Ballyferriter. This attractive little church is virtually a complete ruin now. The people of the area are sad and distressed by the sight of this terrible damage resulting from the storm that ravaged this area for three days. That storm was the worst in living memory in this vicinity.
From – Kerry Evening Post, 30 July 1831
The Chief Constable left Dingle at 7 o’clock the next morning and arrested a man named Darby O’Connor upon information from Roughton who accused O’Connor of the outrage. The police brought the prisoner before the Magistrate, the Rev. Mr. Swindle who, after examination, liberated him for want of sufficient evidence. Several persons belonging to the adjoining houses were examined by Mr. Swindle, and none of them seemed to have any knowledge of the outrage.
Shipwreck at Rossbeigh From – Kerry Examiner, 12 January 1849 During the heavy gale which blew on the night of Tuesday last, and the following morning, a French Lugger bound for Cork from Bordeaux, with a cargo of Indian Corn was driven from her moorings off Kells. She was left high and dry on Rossbeigh where she is expected to become a total wreck. The vessel put into Dingle Bay from stress of weather after losing a mast and her sails. [Other reports state two of the crew were lost and that the lugger was suspected of being a smuggler].
Ballintaggart Accident From – Kerry Examiner, 3 November 1848 On Sunday last Robert Hickson, Esq., of Ballintaggart House, got up on a pony which was being trained for his use. The animal became restive, and reared so high that Mr. Hickson fell backwards onto the paved yard and the pony rolled over him. He now lies in the most perilous state and slight hopes are entertained for his recovery.

This church, dedicated to Saint Vincent de Paul, was designed by the architect J. J. McCarthy who was engaged by Bishop Moriarty in 1855 and it was completed a year after the foundation stone was laid.
Flooding From – Newry Examiner, 22 February 1840 The Dingle area experienced severe flooding this week which washed away houses and bridges and caused serious damage to roads in the district.
Fishermen rescued by coastguards. From – Kerry Evening Post, 18 January 1865 Last Friday as the Dingle trawlers were on their usual fishing grounds, it came on to blow and the wind soon increased to a gale. The boats immediately made for the shelter of the harbour and all succeeded except the Spirit, the property of the Rev. Mr. Jervois. The crew of four first cast anchor under Bull Head, about two miles from the mouth of the harbour, after having their mainsail swept away. In a short time the anchor chain snapped and she was driven up the bay towards Inch. When the trawler came opposite Minard Castle another anchor was dropped. Their plight was spotted by the coastguards in the Minard station. They signalled the Spirit to know if assistance was required. The response was in the affirmative and the coastguards immediately launched a boat and pulled off to the trawler. At imminent risk to their lives and in the teeth of an increasing gale, the coastguards succeeded in bringing the crew safely to shore.

Born 5th May 1935 to a Hanna Griffin in Killorglin, was named Mary and was fostered, she came to England at 16 and met her mother and found out that she had a sister but she did not know about mum, the mother and daughter worked at Hammersmith hospital in London, in the fifties they both disappeared from her life almost 70 years ago. I know the power of facebook yields results so if this can be shared far and wide and just maybe her sister if she is still here or one of her family might see this , a long shot I know I found out today that mum was born in Beaufort killarney, and her mother was living in Cromane Killorglin at the time as a servant, we think then she decided to come to England

Tourism Talk and Thoughts from the Dingle Peninsula Caroline Boland It’s great to see more of our local retailers and activity providers re-opened since June 8th and it is hoped that the challenges of our new ‘normal’ is working out fine as we all get used to social distancing safety practices and being mindful of the pressures as people come back to work. There are going to be many new ways of operating and enjoying our local experiences over the coming months and we wish everyone the very best over the coming weeks and months as the Dingle Peninsula re-emerges from closure. Dingle Peninsula Tourism Alliance wants to help support and promote all businesses – shops, activities, restaurants, pubs, cafes, attractions, accommodation, etc. across the peninsula who are re-opening. If you haven’t already done so, can you please email Sam at dinglept@gmail.com your opening dates, opening times, if pre-bookings or ticket purchases are required, any specific terms and any details you would like the Alliance to list for you on the Dingle Peninsula website and social media?

Small Changes: Water Conservation
It rained on Sunday. It was the type of rain that freshens up the land and convinces you that you can hear the grass growing. While the weather is a national preoccupation anyway, the rain on Sunday is particularly noteworthy because a six week nationwide water conservation order (hosepipe ban) was implemented just 5 days earlier on the 9th of June. A quarter of the respondents to a survey conducted by Irish Water last year did not believe that there is any need to conserve water in this country mainly because of its perceived abundance. It is therefore not hard to understand that convincing the public to adhere to a hosepipe ban, especially those living on the western seaboard, is a difficult task. WHY DO WE NEED TO CONSERVE WATER IN THE SHORT TERM? According to Met Éireann it has been the driest spring on record since 1850. To provide some perspective, prior to the 2018 national hosepipe ban, 204mm of rainfall was recorded at Valentia Observatory for the month of April and 114mm in May. This year 60mm and 52mm of rain were recorded at the weather station for April and May respectively. The country would need an accumulation of at least 100mm of rainfall over a number of weeks and a return to normal precipitation levels after that to replenish reservoirs but based on the current long range forecast this scenario is unlikely to happen anytime soon. In addition to very low rainfall, there has been a significant increase in domestic water usage since the beginning of the COVID pandemic (domestic demand accounts for two thirds of all water use in this country) resulting in a 20% increase in water use overall. Further pressure will be put on supplies as commercial premises return to work because many businesses will need to flush out systems that are currently stagnant and/ or complete deep cleans of their premises. These issues exacerbate the problems associated with a very old supply system that has a national leakage rate of over 40%. Usually reports on water shortages refer primarily to problems being experienced in the Greater Dublin Area but it is a national issue this year again. In Kerry alone, Irish water have so far categorised 12 supply schemes to be in emerging drought (including Dingle & Cloghane), drought or severe drought (includes Riasc). Households not serviced by public mains or who are reliant on private wells and springs may be particularly vulnerable to water shortages. Ian O Mahoney of Irish Water stated starkly on Radio Kerry recently that if Kerry householders wish to have water flowing from their taps in July and August then we all need to start conserving as much water as possible immediately. WHY SHOULD WE CONSERVE WATER IN THE LONG TERM? Water covers 71% of the planet but only about 2-3 % is freshwater and just about 1% of this is easily accessible. According to the United Nations, by 2025 an estimated 1.8 billion people will live in areas plagued by water scarcity, with two-thirds of the world’s population living in water-stressed regions as a result of use, growth and climate change. Despite Ireland having one of the highest availability rates of water in Europe, the fact that we are experiencing a second drought within the space of two years should be evidence enough to the future water shortage difficulties we are likely to experience in this country. 80% of mains water in Ireland is extracted from rivers and lakes and 20% from groundwater. Two thirds of group water schemes source their supply from groundwater and there are more than 100,000 private wells and springs in use. There are many environmental and economic costs associated with the provision of clean and safe drinking water from all these sources. Depending on the origin, it can take up to three days and up to 7 stages of treatment (e.g. screening, filtration, disinfection, testing) to make raw water suitable to drink. Assuming the source water has not 22 West Kerry Live
been polluted (the usual culprits in Ireland are either nitrates from fertiliser and microbial contamination from septic tanks and slurry spreading) there are further significant financial and energy costs associated with distributing/pumping this water to our homes. Obviously the more we conserve water, the less amount of raw water that needs to be treated and distributed. Water conservation also reduces problems arising from wastewater such as extending the life of your septic tank or lessening the burden municipal sewers and wastewater treatment facilities which in turn lowers the potential for untreated sewage to flow into rivers, lakes and seas. The benefits of water conservation are not as visible or as apparent at an individual level when compared to the conservation of other resources such as energy. This may change from January 2022 when Irish Water start issuing bills to households using excess water (defined as use above the annual allowance of over 213 000L for a 4 person household). The hope is that this will encourage people to repair leaks and become more aware of their water usage. WATER SAVING TIPS The water conservation order essentially means a hosepipe should not be used for tasks such as watering the garden, washing your car or filling paddling pools. The main message is to prioritise hand-washing over power washing! There are many other simple and effective small changes that can be made to conserve water not just during the hosepipe ban but all year round. 1. More than half our daily water consumption originates from the bathroom and use of the toilet. • Turning off the tap when brushing your teeth will save up to 6L of water per minute and stoppering the sink when shaving instead of running water to clean a razor is also recommended. • The average shower uses approximately 7L of water a minute (considerably more for a power shower) so having shorter showers will obviously reduce water usage as well as reducing your electricity bill as less energy will be required to heat the water. Replacing conventional shower heads with a water saving showerhead is also an option. • A third of all water used in the house is flushed down the toilet. If it’s yellow let it mellow is an adage to consider and the only thing that should ever be flushed are the three p’s (pee, poo and paper). Depending on whether you have a standard or modern toilet, each flush uses between 6 and 9 Litres of water so using a displacement device such as a brick or jar filled with water in the cistern to reduce the capacity is a good idea. 2. Less water is used in running a full dishwasher than washing dishes by hand especially when used on an eco-setting. Washing machines should also be run on a full wash only. Use only the amount of water you need when boiling the kettle, this conserves water and reduces your electricity bill. 3. Instead of running a cold tap for drinking water, keep a jug of cold water in the fridge. Not only can this save up to 10L of water a day but chlorine and trihalomethanes (a potential by product of water treatment) evaporate from an open jug over 24 hours so the water will taste better. 4. Water used to rinse and cook vegetables, eggs etc. can be kept to water potted plants. As well as the chlorine having evaporated off, this water has added nutrients and so is better for your plants. 5. If you have a garden consider collecting rainwater in a water butt fed from your gutters. Not only does it reduce reliance on your mains supply but rainwater is also much better for your plants. Watering plants should always be carried out in the early morning or late evening to reduce evaporation. Using mulches reduces the frequency that you need to water plants and weeding regularly ensures that you are not wasting water growing unwanted weeds. 6. It goes without saying that all leaks and dripping taps should be fixed as soon as possible. Over 20L of water a day can be lost from a dripping tap! 7. The production, manufacture and distribution of food and consumer products are an often overlooked source of water use. It can take 37 gallons of water to grow and process coffee beans for a single cup for instance and 2000 gallons of water are required to produce cotton for one pair of jeans. The key message as always is to reduce unnecessary consumerism, avoid waste and shop locally.

Mo Chéad Turas ar Aonach an Daingin Roibeard Ó Cathasaigh Bhí de phríbhléid agam bheith i bpáirt i gcomhluadar bríomhar d’fhoghlaimeoirí fásta Gaeilge in Ollscoil Luimnigh i bhfómhar na bliana anuraidh, do ‘Ceiliúradh Jimín 100’ ar cuireadh ón nDr. Deirdre Ní Loingsigh, Stiúrthóir Aonad na Gaeilge sa Choláiste. Céad bliain um an dtaca san a d’fhoilsigh Pádraig Ó Siochfhradha (An Seabhac) na chéad mhíreanna dá shaothar ceannródaíoch Jimín Mháire Thaidhg sa Lóchrann i nDeireadh Fómhair 1919.
Clóscríobhán an tSeabhaic ar taispeáint ag an gCeiliúradh a bhuí le hÉamonn Ó Siochrú Grianghraf le Roibeard Ó Cathasaigh
Mo chéad turas ar aonach an Daingin Is mó eachtra óm chéad turas fhéin ar aonach an Daingin a d’fhan im cheann, ach luafad ceann acu anso. Maidin Shathairn fhómhair i lár sheascaidí an chéid seo chaite, ghlaoigh Daid orm le giolc an ghealbhain, agus tar éis bricfeasta bhuaileamar bóthar ó Pháirc an Teampaill ar a leathuair tar éis a sé nó mar sin. Sé nó seacht gcinn de phollies deasa dubha leathbliain d’aois le díol againn – iad roghnaithe is réitithe ón tráthnóna roimh ré, iata isteach go cluthair thar oíche i mbothán fé dhíon tarra, stríoca neata de phéint ghorm greanta le bata ag Daid ar rumpa gach beithíoch acu lena n-aithint ar Pháirc an Aonaigh, beart tirim luachra mar easair fúthu, agus gabhal féir rompu a choimeádfadh ag cogaint go maidin iad. ‘Téirse chun tosaigh,’ arsa Daid liom, ‘agus seas in aon bhearna bhaolach rompu, maith a buachaill.’
‘I bpáirt i ‘Ceiliúradh Jimín 100’ in Ollscoil Luimnigh. 2019 Bosco Ó Conchúir, Éamonn Ó Siochrú, Deirdre Ní Loingsigh, Caitríona Ní Chathail. Grianghraf le Roibeard Ó Cathasaigh Thug Deirdre cuireadh dúinn ár rogha mír as Jimín a chur i láthair. Ag machnamh dom ar na cúrsaí seo, is amhlaidh a chuaigh m’aigne ar bhóthairín na smaointe, siar go Scoil Chluain Chumhra, mé tosnaithe i Seomra an Mháistir – Pádraig Ó Súilleabháin, O.S., ó Chinn Aird ó dhúchas – sinn-ne i Rang 4 i mbun scríbhneoireachta, agus sleachta as Jimín a léamh os ard ag daltaí na n-ardranganna ina nduine is ina nduine lena linn sin. In ionad a bheith ag scríobh, n’fhéadfainn gan cluas a thabhairt d’eachtraithe suimiúla a bhain don gharsún Jimín is é i mbun cúramaí clóis is feirme, ar ár gcuma fhéin ag baile, agus cor barúil ar an scéal aige ó lá go lá. Roghnaíos ‘Scéala an Aonaigh’ as Caibidil IV mar go raibh cosúlachtaí idir taithí na beirte againn inár n-óige ar Aonach an Daingin, cé gur saolaíodh an Seabhac i 1883, a d’fhág deich mbliana is trí fichid, geall leis, eadrainn. Seo mír den sliocht as Jimín a roinneas ar an gcomhluadar, mar leanas:
D’éirigheamair – mé féin is Daid – ar a cúig a chlog agus chuamair leis an ngealaigh ’on Daingean. Ceithre cinn de bheithígh a bhí againn. Gach aon bhearna a bhí ar thaobh an bhóthair thugaidís fé dhul isteach ann agus bhíodh Daid gach ’ra neomat ’a rá liom:
‘Jimín, a bhuachaill, rith rómpa agus sáraigh iad san’ nó ‘preab isteach, a gharsúin, agus bagair amach í sin,’
nuair bhíodh ceann acu tar éis dul i bpáirc éigin. Is minic a bhíodh dhá chúrsa déag agam féin agus ag an mbeithíoch tiompall na páirce istigh sara ritheadh sé ’na cheann gur cheart di dul amach ar an mbóthar arís. (Jimín Mháire Thaidhg, An Seabhac, 1921, 18)

B’sheo liom roimis na mbeithígh agus sceitimíní orm ar eagla ná déanfainn an bheart, mar go raibh teaspach orthu a’ bualadh bóthair dóibh. Bhí sé fós dorcha, agus ní raibh le clos ach cniog-cnag chrúba na mbeithíoch ar an mbóthar, análú láidir mar shiollaí gaoithe óna bpolláirí, agus boladh te tais bualtaigh ón sconna sciodair ina ndiaidh aniar.

Cad a bhí le déanamh ach é a leanúint im chroí-dhícheall isteach sna ‘Corcaigh’ mar a thugaimis ar an dtalamh riascach de bhéal na Trá Bige, mar a raibh an fheirm éisc ina dhiaidh sin. Ní gan dua a sháróinn mo dhiabhal ansúd istigh le geatairí ar aon airde liom a fás ann, agus braonaíocha bolgacha ar gach brobh acu ó bháisteach na h-oíche aréir.

Storied Kerry: Cath Fionntrá Kevin O’Shea
Shuibhne. It may come as no surprise to hear that tests recorded lithium in the water here at higher than normal levels. Science confirming what myth already knew. In the end Fionn and the Fianna prevailed, Dáire Donn’s world army were defeated and Irelands sovereignty survived another day. Fianna Éireann had a motto. Glaine ár gCroí, Neart ár nGéag agus Beart de Réir ár mBriathar. Purity in our hearts, Strength in Our Limbs and Truth on our Lips. Words as true as they’re ancient. This story is one of the many which appear on the Storied Kerry website (storiedkerry.com). Stories on the site are based on Kerry legends, our landscape, flora, fauna, archaeology, history, folklore and our contemporary story, with stories coming from the eight Kerry districts – Caherciveen, Castleisland, Dingle, Kenmare, Killarney, Killorglin, Listowel and Tralee.
Mossy Donegan
On the Dingle Way, walking the white strand on Ventry beach it is not difficult to imagine you are walking through a mythical landscape. For legend has it that here was the location of Cath Fionntrá The Battle of Ventry. This was the beach Dáire Donn, King of the World choose as his landing point to invade Ireland, the only land in the world not then under his control. It fell to our hero, Fionn Mac Cumhail and Fianna Éireann to defend Ireland in her hour of need. This happened before history began, when time was more cyclical in nature. Sometime after the Milesians lead by the poet Amergin had landed in Waterville and forced the Tuatha Dé Danann underground but before the first monks had settled the Skelligs. A time when nature was sacred. Fionn had his suspicions that something was up and had indeed placed sentries on the hills of Ireland, which enjoyed commanding views of the Irish coastline. Cruach Mhárthain was one such hill, and here Conn Crithir kept watch. Anyone who has climbed this hill will have experienced the uninterrupted view from Cnoc Bréanainn to Más an Tiompáin, Cuan Ard na Caithne, An Triúr Dreiféar, Ceann Sibéal, Ceann Sraithe, Inis Tuaisceart, Tiaracht, An Blascaod Mór, Inis Mhic Aoibhleáin, An Dún Mór, Bá an Daingin and Rinn na Báirce. These names, na logainmneacha, link landscape, language and legends. Dinnseanchas. Conn Crithir fell asleep on the job, woken only by the sounds of Dáire Donn’s marauding troops razing Dún Chaoin. Mortified by his slothfulness he rushed into battle to defend Ireland on his own or die trying. Three giant leaps. On his way he encountered three sisters of the Tuatha Dé Danann who each professed their love for him and offered him supernatural help, turning rushes and thistles into a phantom army to accompany him into battle and providing a healing well to cure all at the end of each day. On the Dingle Way, walking the white strand on Ventry beach it is not difficult to imagine you are walking through a mythical landscape. For legend has it that here was the location of Cath Fionntrá The Battle of Ventry. This was the beach Dáire Donn, King of the World choose as his landing point to invade Ireland... And so it began. The Battle of Ventry lasted a year and a day, the body count making the Soprano’s look like Glenroe. The taking of heads was the done thing. Much of the early fighting took the form of personal challenges. One such encounter pitched Fionn’s son Oisín against Bolcán, the king of France who had a score to settle with Fionn and was determined to take Oisín’s head. Following the intervention of Oisín’s son Oscar, Bolcán’s race is run. Losing his sanity he takes on birdform and flies east across the peninsula coming down in Gleann na nGealt, the valley of the mad. This valley has a long association of curing visitors of all types of mental agitation, think Mad Sweeney in the story Buile

This service will be manned from 1pm to 4pm, 7 days a week. If you need to use this service, we ask that

you telephone your prescription through to your pharmacy by 1pm and pay for it by card if possible as our volunteers will not under any circumstances ask for or accept cash. If you then telephone 066 7174066(no text messages) and speak to our coordinator we will do our best to collect the prescription and deliver them to your house by the next day or sooner. The same will apply for food/fuel delivery as needed. It would be of great help if you could have your eircode to hand. Note that this is a free/confidential service and at all times our team of volunteers will respect people's privacy and when delivering we will keep a safe distance to minimise the possibility of spreading the virus. Also note our volunteers will never ask you for nor accept cash. We believe that as a community, working together and supporting each other, we can help to relieve one worry from our friends and neighbours and get back to our normal daily lives as soon as possible. We would be grateful if you shared and communicated this post so it reaches those that may need help, especially those not on social media.

Killorglin Starts To Reopen Safely
Covid-19 updates: https://killorglin.ie/2020/03/covid-19-coronavirusupdates/
Coronavirus has ripped across the country, transforming every town and village in its wake. Killorglin’s businesses have been hit extremely hard, while the majority in the town closed completely, others created new innovative ways to survive, from creating an online presence to offering a delivery or collection service.
Covid-19 and your business: https://killorglin.ie/covid-19-your-business/
In light of the accelerated reopening plan set out by the Government last week, it is great to see the businesses in the town starting to reopen their doors again, albeit in the ‘new normal’. Stephen O’Sullivan, Chairman of the Killorglin Chamber Alliance, said: ‘Over the past 13 weeks there was a real sense of loss when you saw our empty silent streets. It’s now great to see Killorglin reopening safely. Local retailers and businesses are vital to the economic and social fabric of Killorglin and we can all play a part in their survival so I’m urging people to make a conscious effort to please shop local.’ As consumers venture back out around the town centre, they will see that Upper Bridge Street has been transformed. The businesses along the street have been spruced up with a fresh coat of paint. We hope to expand on the Streetscapes projects success to other parts of the town in the coming months. Day to day we know that our fantastic community rallies around to support one another. During the lockdown this was further highlighted, an example of how our incredible community has pulled together for the greater good includes Killorglin Family Resource Centre, along with the support of local businesses coordinated and distributed packs for local families in need, while The Real Burger embarked on selling burgers for a community project fundraiser which was the brainchild of Chad Byrne and Andrew Byrne. Killorglin.ie has also played its part by increasing its digital output with the introduction of dedicated communication hubs sharing some practical hints, tips, supports and links to help keep our community and businesses informed and engaged. The hubs can be accessed via the links below:
Shop local safely: https://killorglin.ie/local-businesses-operating-duringcovid-19-coronavirus/ Our annual cultural events and festivals like K-FEST and Puck Fair sadly won’t be taking place this year but we’re certain that the voluntary committees will ensure that these great experiences once again are the pride of the town in 2021. ‘In the coming weeks we can all enjoy meeting up with our family and friends, rediscover our stunning surroundings and help our town thrive again,’ concluded Stephen.

Brigid O'Connor REOPENING IRELAND Camp like everywhere else is beginning to come to life again and some local businesses will reopen when the time is right for them and they are ready. Our local volunteers in Camp Community Council are working hard to prepare all community facilities to open safely to the public too when the time is right. And a field development project under the guidance of Chairman Gene Finn is ongoing at the moment, well done ! Camp Childcare Centre too is having a facelift with staff back in action and preparing to reopen. Great work and enthusiasm, a great team. Well done all. A BIG SHOUT OUT - Thank you to Joe, Áine and Breda O'Dwyer and the entire staff of O'Dwyers Mace in the village who continue to provide such a wonderful service particularly ensuring we all had food and essentials during the pandemic lockdown.

Smoked Haddock, Pea and Baby Gem Lettuce, Pea Cream Mark Murphy Dingle Cookery School
600g smoked haddock (undyed), cut into 4 pieces
This makes a fabulous light meal for this time of the year. It may seem strange to cook baby gem lettuce, but when it is just cooked for about two minutes it allows it to wilt but still keeps a little crunch.
400g peas
The combination of the smoked fish, pea and lettuce is divine. Make sure to ask for naturally smoked haddock it has a superior flavour than the smoked dyed haddock or cooley. Ingredients serves 4 (as a starter) 1l milk 1 bunch of thyme 1 bay leaf 2 shallots, finely diced
knob of butter
2 baby gem lettuce, cut into small pieces 1 tbsp. crème fraîche salt and white pepper small bunch of chives, finely chopped Method In a wide shallow pot add the milk, thyme, bay leaf and half of the shallots. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Bring this to a simmer and then turn it down a little. Carefully place the fish into the pot and cover with parchment paper. Put another pot over a medium to low heat and add a little butter and add the rest of the shallots with a pinch of salt. Cook this for about five minutes. Add in some the of milk (about one ladle full) from the pot cooking with the fish.

The plan offers a route back to playing, subject to the government timelines being achieved in the weeks and months ahead. Some of the key dates of the plan include: June 29th: Training recommences for small groups, of not more than 10 players/2 coaches, for non-contact training under social distancing guidelines, where players must maintain the Government advised distance from each other (currently 2m). Training includes running, aerobic training, resistance training, agility & ball work
At this stage, the fish should be cooked. Turn off the heat and leave it for a few minutes until you finish off the rest of the dish. Take the pot with the peas in it, and add a little butter and the baby gem lettuce. Cook this over a medium heat for about two minutes. Season with salt and pepper. to serve Put some of the pea and lettuce in the centre of the plate. Spread some of the pea cream to one side. Carefully remove the fish and place it on top. Sprinkle with finely chopped chives. Bain Taitneamh As!!!

required indoor social distancing measures can be maintained. From a Milltown Castlemaine perspective; training will recommence on two different dates: June 29th: U-12 and older: Kerry County football competitions are to re-commence on July 31st so the older age groups will come back earlier, observing the 2-meter social distancing guidelines, to prepare for the county competitions. July 20th U-10 and younger: Maintaining the required 2 meters distance between players is considered unrealistic for the younger age groups so training will resume when full contact is permitted after July 20th The stand-out elements in the plan, designed to control the spread of the disease include: · Appointment of a club COVID-19 supervisor for each team
July 20th: All forms of team and group training permitted (i.e. full ‘normal’ contact)
· All players and coaches to sanitise their hands, on entry & departure from grounds
July 31st : Resumption of club competitions for all cohorts (U-12 and upwards)
·
August 10th: Access to GAA buildings and indoor facilities including meeting rooms, gyms and exercise studios permitted where regular and effective cleaning can be carried out and where
Add the peas and cook this for about two-three minutes. Using a slotted spoon remove half of the pea and shallot mixture from the pot and put it in a blender. Pour some of the milk from this pot to the blender and the crème fraîche. Blend this to a fine purée/cream and season with salt and pepper.
Water Bottles must not be shared
· All shared equipment (balls, cones, ladders etc.) must be washed/sanitised at beginning & end of training and games · If a player/coach/parent/guardian has a temperature over 37.5°c the individual must not
attend training or games · Parent/guardian must drop off and collect child at the club · The introduction of a mandatory Health Questionnaire to be completed by players & coaches before each training session & match. The questionnaire will record temperatures (taken at home before training) and will be available for contact tracing if required. Data management will be consistent with GDPR guidelines · The requirement for all participants (players, parents, coaches, COVID-19 supervisors etc) to complete an online 'Safe Return to Activity' education programme highlighting the new measures around temperature checking and completed documentation before training and games. Please Note 1. The ‘Safe Return to Gaelic Games’ document produced by the GAA mirrors the Government roadmap and outlines the opt-in approach of the wider Gaelic games family regarding a possible return to activity and play. 2. Club Members who have a concern regarding personal higher risk, or a family member / household contact with higher risk, should discuss the situation with their GP (or West Kerry Live 29

What’s Happening in the Hub? Deirdre de Bhailís Happily, the Dingle Hub re-opened on a partial basis for individual offices on Monday, June 8th and to say there was a sense of relief at returning to some form of normality would be an understatement. We are planning to welcome even more of our members back on June 29th as safety guidelines become clearer and we build confidence in the protocols we are implementing to follow them. We know that many people have started their remote working journey on the Dingle Peninsula in the past few months and we look forward to ensuring you feel supported and connected to enable you to continue to work from here either partially, intermittently or permanently. Make sure to contact us to let us know what you need to work seamlessly from Dingle. Many thanks to all of you who registered to take part in our collaborative online workshop to imagine and shape new possibilities for the Dingle Peninsula. It is hugely encouraging to see so much of the community coming together to devote their time and energy to explore new opportunities for the future. We’re really looking forward to what I expect to be a very enjoyable and stimulating weekend. It was important to limit numbers to maintain an interactive and participative experience and so, regrettably, spaces are now full. We endeavoured to ensure that different sectors and geographical areas are equally represented. For all those who missed out, we still want your ideas and we will continue to work to ensure they are captured and incorporated in the process in the weeks and months ahead. We are planning a session to disseminate the outputs to a much broader audience later in the summer. Tipperary Energy Agency are running online courses that are designed for the construction sector and will cover a number of topics relating to energy efficiency upgrades of homes and specification and design of heating systems with heat pumps in Ireland. The courses are “Specification & Design of Heating Systems with Heat Pumps” and “Introduction to Specification & Design of NZEB Homes”. ESB Networks will sponsor suitably qualified tradespeople to undertake this training to support energy efficiency upgrades of homes, businesses and community facilities on the Dingle Peninsula. This initiative is also supported by the SFI funded “Activating the Energy Citizen” project. The courses are delivered online, you can complete them in your own time and are CPD accredited by Engineers Ireland. Interested persons should contact deirdre@dinglehub.com for further details. There’s still time to apply for the ESB Networks Dingle Arts Commission. We are delighted to be working with Claire McElligott, ESB Networks and Catríona Fallon, Green Arts Initiative on this commission with a fund total of €4,000 for the successful artist to create a piece of work. It’s open to artists living on the Dingle Peninsula. The chosen art form and proposed project will speak to the brief and be accessible to the commissioning organisation (ESB Networks), the local community and the wider public. Audience engagement is a key element of the commission. Overall the work and final piece should encapsulate what the ‘Activated Energy Citizen’ of the future looks like on the Dingle Peninsula and beyond? It should relate to and emphasise the energy and sustainability work on the Dingle Peninsula with the ESB Dingle Project. Engagement with the projects to date and people involved is recommended to get a full picture of the scope. For more info see poster and full brief on our website www. dinglehub.com Deadline: Friday 19th June 2020 Feel free to contact us with any questions on info@dinglehub.com Stay safe and well everyone.

The Time of the Tans le
Tomás Mac Conmara foilsithe ag
Mercier Press Tá Winston Churchill, an ceannaire Sasanach, go mór sa nuacht an aimsir seo agus a choirpeacht chogaidh á plé mar chuid de stair an impiriúlachais. Bhí baint mhór aige le cogadh Shasana ar Éirinn. Deireann an staraí Ryle Dwyer san Examiner 7 Eanair 2019: ‘As minister for war from 1919 to 1921, Churchill ‘attempted to crush the rebellion in the south through the use of two paramilitary forces’... As minister, he was largely responsible for the behaviour of the Black and Tans and Auxiliaries.’ Agus arís ‘Paul Bew (staraí) believed Churchill was aware of the Big Fellow’s likely involvement in the Wilson murder, and was using this ‘to make Collins move’ against the Four Courts, which was what ignited the Civil War.’ Seo leabhar ar na Dubhchrónaigh. ‘Stories of the Black and Tans have been told across Ireland since the force was first released into the country in March 1920. Casting a dark and lingering shadow, they remain an evocative and emotive category of memory. For people who lived through it and those who inherited associated stories, the Black and Tans were the embodiment of British repression, violence and malevolence. The Irish War of Independence is a landmark in the chronology of Irish history and profoundly affected all areas of life. Much of that experience was never recorded... The Time of the Tans illuminates the stories of a period that has dominated the historical consciousness of Ireland.’ - Mercier Press An Café Liteartha, Bóthar an Dadhgaide, Daingean Uí Chúis Siopa Leabhar an Daingin ó 1979 West Kerry Live 31

Gan dabht ní raibh cead caid a imirt rud a fhág ár gcroí chom dubh le háirne. Is páirt mhór an chaid i saol na muintire. Teaspáineadh seanchluichí mar Blea Cliath agus Maigh Eó mar a raibh an bhua ag bleá Cliath le pointe suarach amhain. Thug feara Chonnacht lásáil dos na Jeacíní ach bhí rath an tsiúíl ar Bhleá Cliath; agus bua na Gaeltachta seo againne i gcomortas peile na Gaeltachta.

Is mó ceist agus scéal seoigh a pléití. Bualadh amach chun aifrinn, dul ar an aonach. Féachaint i ndiaidh do chaoire agus stoc. Dul ag snámh agus bualadh le daoine. Dúl ar an bhFeothanaigh le drámaí a fheiscint agus sásamh a bhaint as ócádí éagsúla a bhí ceilte ort nuair a bhís gafa sa bhaile.

Agus mé a scríobh seo tá trí bliana ó báthadh Dainí Mac a’ tSíthigh ar chósta na Portaingéile. File agus scríobhnóir. Is dócha go bhfuil dán molta scríte aige fé Naomh Peadar. Cathair na Glóire aige, agus comhbhrón ó chroí dá chéile Máire agus a gclann.
