Eachtra ar Phiaras Firtéar

File maith do bheadh Piaras. Do bhí ana thrácht ar a chuid filidheachta ar fuaid na hÉireann. Do chuaidh a mhór-cháil a gcluasaibh file eile i gCo. an Chláir, agus dubhairt sé leis fhéin go mbaineadh sé amach Piaras agus go mbainfeadh sé bodhta as.

Seo leis chun siubhail, agus níor stad sé riamh ná choidhche gur bhain sé amach Dún an Fhirtéaraig. Bhuail fear annsan leis mara bhfuil an taoide ag rith suas fiche éigin slat idir dhá thalamh.

Buaileadh isteach na aigne gurbh é Piaras a bhí ann, agus níor theastuig uaidh é fhéin do chur i n-aithne dho 'dtí go mbainfeadh sé triall as a chuid filidheachta ar dtúis. Do sgaoil sé chuige bhéarsa:

"Dia is Muire dhuit-se a shár fhir, a mhic na máthair súairc"

"Is an mó galún sáile a gheibheann an áit seo suas"

D'fhreagair Piaras é ag rádh: 'Is deachair dómh-sa é thómhas na cártaibh

Mar bíonn sé láidir luath,

An méid ná coimeádann an áth do,

Imthígheann sé an bádh o thúaidh.' Níor dhein an file stróinseardha ach ionntó ar a sháil agus Conndae an Chláir a bhaint amach, mar bhí a fhios aige nárbh aon mhaith dho dul chun filídheachta lé Piaras.

DOG OWNERS BE AWARE Dog owners, be aware of cable ties placed on your gate or fence ! In recent times this practice has been associated with the theft of family dogs. As many as 10 dogs believed stolen in Kerry were found recently in Rathkeale. The Gardaí are appealing to all dog owners to be aware and anyone missing a dog are asked to please contact them. Dogs are valued and much loved pets and many people are deeply distressed by their loss. A dog is often a persons only companion. SUCCESS Congratulations to Dr. Breda O'Dwyer, Camp Cross on achieving her Doctorate on Entrepreneurial Mindset. Breda researched and produced her thesis on the entrepreneurial mind-set of the entrepreneurship educator - essentially showing it to be a dynamic life long process and that each and everyone of us has the potential to behave entrepreneurially - people just need to have our minds open to it. It is about embracing change, being transformative and adding value - and goes way beyond being just about setting up a business - about being open to learning, thinking and behaving entrepreneurially! Breda says going forward Ireland, Europe and global policy makers are seeking entrepreneurial thinking citizens and are tasking the educators with achieving this objective - hence the need to learn about the entrepreneurial mind-sets of these educators - hence her study found that they do indeed have entrepreneurial mindsets and can help others to develop theirs. Go n-éirí an t-adh leat, a Bhreda.

FAREWELL TO FR. GERRY

On Sunday after 12 noon Mass in Camp Fr. Gerry Keane our resident Parish Priest in the parish of Annascaul, Camp and Inch for the past 5 years said farewell to a large gathering of parishioners outside St. Mary's Church. Fr. Gerry is the 86th priest in the parish, the first being a Fr. D. McCarthy who served here from 1829 - 1830. And St. Marys Church, Camp was built in 1826, 3 years before Catholic Emancipation. A presentation was made to Fr. Gerry on behalf of all parishioners in the Camp area and Gene Finn, Chairman Camp Community Council and Brigid O Connor said a few words of thanks in grateful appreciation to Fr. Gerry for his commitment and his dedication to the parish over the years. A lone Priest in a parish with 3 churches was not an easy Parish assignment and therefore the parishioners are very grateful to Fr. Gerry who despite difficult mountainous terrain and often inclement weather, never failed to turn up on time, be it for a service for our dearly departed, a christening or wedding, Fr. Gerry never left any family down. For that he will be fondly remembered and parishioners are eternally grateful to him ! Camps loss is Eyeries gain and everybody wishes Fr. Gerry great happiness and success in his new ministry Parish Priest of Eyeries and Allihies, Co. Cork. In his final homily in Camp, Fr. Gerry read a letter from a young parishioner whose lovely sentiments of appreciation pleased him greatly, Fr. Gerry departed at the end of his final Mass in Camp with an appropriate quote from scripture - When I have taught you everything, I will leave ! A Short Poem, was also read as follows -

AFTER CAMP MASS

Fr. Gerrys in a hurry, And hes not going making hay, And as sure

as God above looks down on us,

St. Senans are playing today. Go n-Eirí an t-adh leat, Fr. Gerry. SUCCESSFUL DEBUT IN THE USA How exciting to read the following report on the sporting success of Campman Kenneth Quirke in the USA. Report in Kerry Motorsport News as follows - Successful US debut for Quirke. Kenneth Quirke took a very creditable fourth overall on his American rally debut on Saturday July 18. The New York-based Camp man contested the Southern Ohio Forrest Rally as co-driver to Ryan Booth, a former Indy car racer who, in recent years, turned his hand to rallying. The pair used a McKenna Motorsport hired Ford Fiesta R5 for what was the second round of the Rally America national series and their opposition reflected the event’s national status. Congratulations and well done Kenneth !
