Páidí 'Fitz' Mac Gearailt
Grianghraf le Roibeard Ó Cathasaigh Roibeard: Fáilte go ‘Fís na Féile 2020’. Táimid anso cois Trá Bige agus faram tá beirt sheanchara, Páidí ‘Fitz’ Mac Gearailt ón nDroichead ó dhúchas agus Tommy Evans ón dTobar, agus táimid chun mírín scéalaíochta a thabhairt daoibh anois. Tosnóimid leatsa, a Pháidí – conas tánn tú?
Páidí: Go maith, buíochas le Dia.
R: Is maith san. Anois, tá seanará agatsa a bhaineann leis an dtráigh a mhúin an múinteoir daoibh, abair leat. P: Seán Ó Súilleabháin, fadó fadó riamh. Deireadh sé linn go raibh an Trá Bheag anso: ‘Bíonn trá na ndomhan tuilte nuair a bhíonn tráigh na bhfaoileann tráite,’ sin é dúirt sé linn.
R: Tá san ráite go deas – agus mar bharr air sin, tá scéal púcaí agat a bhaineas leis an dtráigh anso, a d’inis sé daoibh.
P: (Gáirí) Tá ceann agam mar gheall ar an Áthán Buí* – bhí fear ón dTobar nó Cinn Aird sa mhargadh sa Daingean agus bhí taoscán ólta aige during an lá, agus nuair a bhí sé ag teacht abhaile tháinig sé go dtí’n Áthán Buí – the Áthán Buí anso down at the bottom of Tobar Village, and, at that time the tide used to come into the road – since then the Council raised the road and the high tide don’t come in there any more, but at that time they’d be a couple of foot of water on the road. But when he came to the Áthán Buí there was a mermaid in from the sea coaxing

him to come down into the tide, and faith, he realized what was going on, and he with his horse and car, he didn’t get out of the car, and he didn’t follow the beautiful mermaid, but he put his hand in his pocket and he took out his penknife, and he stuck it her, and she vanished. Anyway, he went home. Next day he took out his pipe to have a smoke – his pipe was empty. He got his half quarter of tobacco, and his penknife – but there was no penknife in the pocket, and he remembered what he was after doing with it, and he came straight down to the Áthán Buí to see if his penknife would be anywhere, and there it was stuck in a big frog, and he got his penknife back. Sin é an scéal – sin é mar a dúirt an múinteoir Seán Ó Súilleabháin linn é ar scoil, agus má tá bréag ann bíodh, mar, ní mise a chum ná a cheap é, ’sé Seán Ó Súilleabháin a cheap é! R: Ardfhear, gura míle míle maith agat, a Pháidí.

Rí na Trá Bige! Tommy Evans Grianghraf le Roibeard Ó Cathasaigh
Roibeard: Anois, a Tommy, conas tánn tú inniu? Tommy: Ara, ag strácáil, táimid a déanamh maith go leor, buíochas mór le Dia. R: Ar dtúis, cad is aois duit, a Tommy? T: Naocha h-aon, agus cúpla mí leis. R: Well, in those ninety odd years you must have seen many iontas down here in the Trá Bheag, can you recall one or two of them, led thoil. T: Well, I remember this happened in 1942, the biggest gale and high tide I ever saw, I think it was around 1942 or three, there was a spring tide and a gale to the back of it, it did a lot of damage, knocked fences and everything, and it put barra taoide up on tha Áthán Buí that Paudie was telling you about, and in the barra taoide was dead fish – battered off the rocks. I’ve never seen it since, there was a line of fish up on the fence by the Council workers when they were clearing the place. R: And to finish, one other iontas that you saw. T: Well, I saw – that was most unusual, I didn’t see it before then, and I didn’t see it since, but then again I don’t be there too often – back at The Carraig at the mouth of the Short Strand, at turn of tide, there was a flood in the river first of all, and they were waiting for the spring tide to turn up – salmon – fine big salmon jumping all over the place, waiting to move up with the tide. I have never seen a shoal of salmon – they were there by the hundreds, I’m not adding to it, they were there by the hundreds, God only knows how many were there. And the minute the tide started to turn, you could see them moving up along the shore – one way passage for a lot of them, I’d say! R: Agus ar deireadh, tá seanará agat dúinn. T: ‘Tóg nuair a gheobhair, mar b’fhéidir, nuair a loirgeoir ní bhfaighir.’ R: Gura maith agatsa as an méid atá tugtha agat dúinn, agus táimid ana- bhuíoch díot. T: Fáilte romhat!

Mír sheanchais a d'eachtraigh Pádraig Ó Súilleabháin (81), Cinn Aird dá mhac Seán Ó Súilleabháin, O.S., 22/8/1941 Pádraig: Ghaibheas aniar barra Poill a’ Bháid lá samhraidh agus chonac amuigh sa loig [hollow] in aice na Srúlach an breac agus a bholg le gréin aige – chomh geal le sneachta, agus gan thar troigh uisce san áit. Chaitheas díom mo bhróga agus ní fada bhíos ar a thí agus d’éalaíos amach. Bhíos ag cuimhneamh go m’fhéidir go raibh sé marbh. Nuair a thánga os a chionn, chonac a sceolbhach ag oscailt agus ag iamh. Chuireas an dá láimh greamaithe ann – lámh thiar ar chaol a eireabaill agus an lámh eile amuigh aigena cheann agus d’fháisceas i gcoinne an talaimh é. Bhíos ag ionfairt is ag aistriú na méireanna amach go bhfuaireas an sceolmhach aige. Ní raibh aon bhaol orm ansan, agus thugas liom den iarracht san é.
Bhí cuid mhaith cairteacha gainimhe (LS gainmhí ) ar an eitir [submerged sandbank] agus d’fheicfeá an t-ionadh a bhí orthu – fámaire de bhas gheal a bhí trí troithe ar fhaid.

dinners (i.e. stews, curries, pasta etc.) viable options. Packaging & Palatability- Adults, not to mind children, are unlikely to eat lunches of soggy sandwiches and squashed bruised fruit or drink warm milk, so investing in a reusable lunchbox and drinks bottle which will protect food and keep beverages hot/cold is a good idea. This has the added bonus of reducing the need for unnecessary packaging (i.e. cling film, tinfoil, plastic bottles and cartons). This does not mean that you need to spend a fortune on ‘ecofriendly’ or fancy bento style lunchboxes (which are a pain to wash anyway). If it is reusable and strong enough to last longterm it will contribute to the circular economy. Using butter tubs, yogurt cartons etc. to pack food or to compartmentalise it in a larger lunchbox is also a good sustainable option as you are reusing otherwise single use packaging and cutting down on the need for surplus Tupperware. Websites such as stopfoodwaste.ie offer advice on some clever hacks to ensure more palatable lunches i.e. freeze dairy products like yogurts (which also prolongs their shelf-life) and they will be defrosted but still cold for lunch time in school; make sure to separate cheese from crackers so that the crackers do not absorb moisture from the cheese and make them soggy. €25 Apply their knowledge €35 €30 - Do not underestimate your child’s knowledge and understanding of environmental issues like climate change and €40 waste of resources.

Cromane GAA
MID KERRY: Well done to the Mid Kerry senior football team that beat Kilcummin 3-15 to 0-12 in the County SFC at Fitzgerald Stadium, Killarney, on Saturday. Cromane were represented by Kieran O’Sullivan, who was making his County SFC debut at corner-back. Kieran was very solid and played beyond his years as he is still just 18. Darren Houlihan was also on the Mid Kerry panel. SENIOR DRAWS: The Cromane seniors have been drawn to play Keel in the Mid Kerry SFC quarter-final. The winner of this game will take on Beaufort or Glenbeigh-Glencar in the semi-final. Meanwhile, the Cromane senior team will also take part in this year’s Novice Football Championship. Cromane were paired with Valentia in the quarter-finals. That game, at a date to be decided, will be played in Cromane.
UNDER-16s: County League result: GGC 0-9, Milltown-Castlemaine 5-18 The Glenbeigh-Glencar/Cromane (GGC) under-16s never got going last Monday week in their third game in phase one of the county league. After a positive performance in their previous outing when defeating Beaufort in Cromane, it was a disappointing performance. The key though for these players is that they bounce back in phase two and find more consistency. The highlights included some fine points from play from Jason O’Connor and some excellent shot-stopping from goalkeeper Jamie Casey. This was their final game in phase one of the county league. Phase two of the Under-16 County League is scheduled to begin on Monday, August 30. Scorers: Jason O’Connor 0-4 (0-1 free), Charlie Foley 0-3 (0-2 frees), Kealan O’Sullivan, Tony Óg Duffy 0-1. Team: Jamie Casey; Jed Switzer-Dando, Darragh Crosby, Joshua O’Sullivan; Kealan O’Sullivan, Cian Lyons, Tony Óg Duffy; Liam O’Neill, Noah Falvey; Brian Cahill, Charlie Foley, Keith Moriarty; Jack McGrath, Jason O’Connor, Seamus Moriarty. Sub: Jamie O’Sullivan. UNDER-14s: The GGC under-14s are preparing for phase two of the county league. Their first game against Fossa was postponed due to the new guidelines imposed last week. The other teams in their division are Dingle and Templenoe/SneemDerrynane (who they play at home on Wednesday, September 2). The Fossa game will have to be rescheduled. UNDER-12s: In phase two of the Under-12 County League Cromane are in a division with St Michael’s (Ballinskelligs), Tuosist, Valentia, and Skellig Rangers. These four games are in addition to the three Cromane played in phase one against Glenbeigh-Glencar, Laune Rangers B, and Legion B. Cromane won their first game in phase two a fortnight ago against St Michael’s (Ballinskelligs). Their next game is this Sunday (August 30) away to Tuosist, at 1pm. JUNIORS: The Cromane B team is taking part in the County Junior League. They were defeated by Fossa in Cromane in their first game a fortnight ago. These games are invaluable for players who have not received game time in the junior championship as well as those players on the comeback trail.
FIXTURES:

Dr Morrison was attached to the Ionad Leighis an Daingin for the past 2 years and now sets up his own service with his wife Brid who is an experienced nurse. The contact phone number is 066-9151343. Dingle Business Chamber wish them every success and welcome this new service in these uncertain times.
MENTAL HEALTH . The Kerry Mental Health and Wellbeing Fest 2020 is scheduled for October 10th to 17th and the organisers welcome participation from all interested individuals or groups. The 5 main ways to wellbeing are as follows --- Connect/Give/Take Notice/Keep Learning/Be Active. Further details in our next edition.
SCHOOLS. Its time to get our schools open again after the Covid lockdown left all students at home since mid March last. Last week I witnessed the enormous amount of work that has been undertaken by teachers in their respective schools. This upheaval of furniture and fittings to ensure the premises both interior and exterior are complying with Government Guidelines and safe for students to return to normal education life again. Molaim sibh go léir as an obair iontach seo go mór mhór i rith aimsir laoithe saoire an tSamhraigh. STREET CLOSURE. News coming to hand this week is that Kerry County Council wish to extend the closure of Strand Street to traffic from 11a.m to 6p.m. until November 1st next. The reason provided is the large influx of tourists to Kerry will continue for another 2 months and Covid related guidelines for pedestrian safety will be necessary in our towns. The research locally is that bookings will taper off once the schools reopen and the tourist numbers will dramatically fall come mid September. The Business Chamber are requesting an urgent meeting with the Council Management to discuss the issue as it was originally stated that normal traffic flow would return on September 9th.
PEIL. Dingle Senior team lost by a single point to Templenoe in the County Senior Football Championship fixture in Páirc An Ághasaigh last weekend. Well done guys on a great effort but injuries to key players before and during the game did not help matters either. The County League Division 1 and West Kerry honours are still up for grabs so plenty to play for before year end. PLANNING. The County Council Draft Local Area Development Plan for the Dingle Electoral Area has been published recently and will be open for submissions for the next few weeks. Once passed by the locally elected councillors this plan will form the basis for all planning applications decisions in this area for the foreseeable future. Therefore it is vitally important for everybody to read the plan fully and make submissions if you do not agree with certain proposals contained therein. Viewing on website kerrycoco/planning/planningpolicy/ municipal-district-local-plans. COVID GUIDELINES. I know you will say you are sick of hearing it but please once more be careful and comply as often and as long as possible with the basic guidelines until the virus is supressed sufficiently to return to normal living again. Yes we are all involved so play your part for everybodys sake. SLÁN TAMALL!!!.

After ten years on the road, Dingle band Walking On Cars have come to the end of their musical journey. On Friday the quartet released a statement confirming that they are going their seperate ways. Through raw talent and tireless dedication, the band built up a large and loyal following over the years and cemented their credentials with thrilling live performances. Their decade long career as a band saw them enjoy chart success, fame and critical acclaim. And they deserved every bit of it. They soared high but kept their feet on the ground, touring all over the world and always returning to West Kerry. In their statement the band were particularily appreciative of their fans and assured them that they are all individually working on their their own projects. As a parting gift they released one final EP; "Clouds". We thank them for ten years of music and wish them well in their future endeavours. Go n-eirí libh.

The shortening evenings signal the imminence of the flu vaccine 'season' to all of us healthcare professionals. This year the flu vaccine (also known as influenza vaccine) has been extended to all children, free of charge, between the ages of 2 years to 12 years regardless of health status. To date the flu vaccine is offered to all those with chronic health conditions for example diabetes, cardiac issues, imunosuppression due to disease or treatment (including treatment for cancer) etc. from the age of 6 months and to all adults aged over 65 years. Target groups: Children aged 2 years to 12 years 6 months old to 64 yrs with underlying health conditions e.g. cancer, heart conditions etc Adults aged over 65 years Pregnancy People with Down syndrome Health Care Workers (HCW)

Household contacts of people at risk People at close contact with poultry and pigs In a nutshell, the flu causes death and hospitalisation every year and the vaccine offers the best protection against getting the flu for at risk groups. You need to get the flu vaccine every year ; the virus changes, therefore so too does the vaccine. The vaccine contains killed viruses - it cannot give you the flu. The rationale for vaccinating children in Ireland 10% of children under 15 years attend the GP with influenza in an average season. Highest incidence is in youger children, with under 5 years having high risk complications, including hospitalisation with high rates of admission to critical care units in children especially in children under 5 years. The vaccine has been received by millions of children globally including the US, Canada, the UK and Finland. A pilot study in 2014-2015 saw a 94% drop in GP consultations for influenza-like illnesses in primary school children and a drop of 74% in A + E attendence in primary school children with respiratory issues. In adults, a 59% drop in consultations with influenza-like illnesses was seen.
Over the last 10 years in the Irish healthcare system, over 11,000 confirmed cases of flu were children, over 4,750 of which were hospitalised and 183 were admitted to critical care. There were 41 deaths (figures courtesy of Health Protection Surveillance Centre).
This year sees two forms of flu vaccine - the LAIV (Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine) being administered to children aged 2-12 years and the QIV (Quadricalent Inactivated Influenza Vaccine) to at-risk children aged over 6 months to 23 mths and aged 13 years and over and to those childrem whereby receiving a 'live' vaccine such as LAIV is contraindicated (eg those who are immunosuppressed, on aspirin, severe asthmatics). The LAIV is given through the nose, NO INJECTION. The QIV is an injection, given to smaller children in the thigh, to older children commonly in the upper arm. The LAIV which is a more effectice vaccine - 83%efficacy against confirmed influenza disease and also may protect against other strains not contained within the vaccine, is not licenced to give to children under 2 years old as it can cause wheezing. The QIV can be given to children aged under 2 whose health is compromised and in children who should not receive 'live' vaccines (as above). While the QIV is not as effective, it is hoped that vaccinating all children will provide 'herd' immunity for all. 'Live' vaccines can generate an immunoresponse in the body - a weakened strain of the vaccine is given which can cause mild systoms of flu or heavy cold i.e. mild fever (< 39c), nasal congestion,runny nose, tiredness and decreased apepitete are the most common symptoms. This can be treated with over the counter paracetamol/neurofen and is usually resolved within 24-72 hours. As with any medication/vaccination there is a risk of anaphylaxis, but it is very rare ( 1 in every 10,000). Your nurse or doctor will not give you the vaccine if you are known to have this risk and you will be monitered post vaccination for severe allergic reaction which usually occurs within seconds to minutes of receiving the vaccine. In conclusion, if you have never had the flu, that does not mean you are immune. If you fall within the target groups for vaccination, getting the vaccine is the surest route you have to ensuring that you do not get the flu this year. Personally, the most common side effect I have seen and experienced myself post flu vaccination is a sore arm for a few hours....to me that is much preferable to actually getting the flu! I will be first in line this September with my children to get vaccinated, who else is with me?
