PERSON OF THE YEAR 2023

Danny Takes Home The Title

Kilbrin Sports and Social Club was buzzing! The 12 worthy monthly winners from 2023 were bought up on stage and interviewed by Michael Breen MC. At the interval, Kanturk AstroTurf committee held their raffle, accompanied by the music of Sheila Fitzgerald. When the final votes were counted, it was close but the overall winner was

Danny Curtin. He was presented with a trophy onstage by Gerry Greaney Chairman of Kanturk & District Community Council and Tina Dunstan of Cherry Blossoms (the event sponsor).

The night didn’t end there; Danny was celebrated with plenty dancing!

Not Bad(minton) At All!

Congratulations to my husband, John Murphy (Clonakilty Badminton Club), and Adam Harris (Skibbereen Badminton Club), both who competed in the Irish National Men’s Doubles, Grade G, in Dublin. An amazing run of games, earned them a qualification for the Irish National Men’s Doubles, Grade G Final which will be held in the Irish National Indoor Arena, in Dublin, on the 12th of May 2024.

John is originally from Rockchapel. He played juvenile badminton with Rockchapel Badminton Club, in the 1990’s, under the guidance and encouragement of Badminton coach, Timmy Twomey. John is now living in Clonakilty West Cork, and plays Badminton with Clonakilty Badminton Club.

I can’t commend Timmy Twomey and the Rockchapel Badminton Club enough, for their positive influence, great spirit and sportsmanship that stayed with John well into his adult years. It is great to see that Rockchapel Badminton Club is still as vibrant as ever, with no doubt many more young people being positively influenced and encouraged by this juvenile club.

St. Bridget’s Crosses

Our month of February started with the commencement of St. Bridget’s Day and understanding who was St. Bridget? The making of the traditional St. Bridget’s Crosses proceeded. The children enjoyed walking the surrounding hinterland of the school gathering rushes so they could proceed with the making of the crosses. They explored and experimented with the rushes to make different types of St. Bridget crosses and enjoyed the fun and banter of this. The physical, social and imaginative characteristics of this activity brought great joy to the classroom. All children made their own St. Bridget’s crosses and took them home for their families and relatives.

Shrove Tuesday

The smells and aromas were drifting out to the front door of the school from 9.20am in the morning. Pancakes were made in the kitchen with the children and various toppings were added. Many a pancake was eaten at small break and lunch time break. The making and flipping of the pancake was a test of the culinary skills and the wrist movement but the greatest skills of all was the tasting skill. A skill that was perfected within the day!

Student Council at Dromagh NS holds Bake Sale for their charity fundraiser on St. Valentines Day.

It was a pleasure to see so many parents, grandparents and past pupils visit the school on St. Valentine’s Day for the Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland (AADI) charity fundraiser, organized by the student council. All the boys and girls worked hard in the weeks before, preparing posters, artwork and practicing their culinary skills for the event. The children showcase their baking skills and of course during the day they tasted the baked goods too! All invited guests were encouraged to take home a selection of their favorite bakes in take home boxes for their St. Valentine’s evening tea.

The student council found this event to be extremely rewarding and an important event in their school calendar as they raised much needed funds to support the various initiatives that AADI organise. They look forward to AADI visiting the school in March for the presentation of their raised monies.

“Be Our Guest”

On the 1st of February all children travelled to the Edel Quinn Hall in Kanturk by bus for Coláiste Treasa’s Production of “Be Our Guest”. The play was a great success and enjoyed immensely by all our children. A huge thank you to Coláiste Treasa for their kind invitation to attend the production. Well done to the TY students on their superb drama skills and their production of such a wonderful play.

Open Night

We cordially invited all new parents with their children to the school on Friday 23rd February.

Parents were encouraged to take a guided tour of the rooms in the school and explore the school and see the fantastic facilities that we have to offer The students presently attending the school were present to show, play and tell the young children what to do and answer any questions that the new parents would need to have answered too.

The evening finished off with having a chat to our friendly and dedicated staff and parents over a cup of tea/coffee and some light refreshments. We wish to thank all who attended and we look forward to September 2024 with our new families.

Cleaning Up Kilbrin

An Taisce Spring Clean was coordinated and supported by local Foroige club in Kilbrin on Saturday March 2nd and the local national school supported on the Friday. Refreshments sponsored and served by An Foroige in the day. The whole effort ended with collection of almost 60+ bags of rubbish! Well done, everyone!

FRONT ROW: Denny Callaghan, Gerald O’Connor, Tommy Flynn, Johnny O’Connor, Ted Coleman, Stephan Cahill, John Sheehan. Thanks to John Tynan for providing all the names for this photo.

Special thanks to Pat Randles for sharing all three of these photos with us. Originally posting the above class picture to Facebook, Pat shared it along with the following words - “This is a Banteer class photo of Teddy Fitzgerald, he is top row, 3rd from right, I know most of these young boys are gone but maybe a family member may not have this photo. Old photos are wonderful memories.”

It’s very true. Pat also shared with us a picture of her uncle, the aforementioned Teddy Fitzgerald (L) and grandfather, Paddy Fitzgerald (R), that was restored digitally and colourised by a relative of hers. Discover Duhallow’s Tadhg Curtin and Pat discussed the process of restoring old photos. Tadhg feels the process of colourising has it’s pros and cons. Technology today can restore past media to present day standards with such ease, but should there be a limit in how one alters past media? It’s an interesting debate to have but is fascinating either way. Thank you again, Pat, for your pictorial glimpses into the past! Words by Tadhg Curtin

Go Green for LauraLynn

LauraLynn is a hospice for children with life-limiting conditions and residential care for children and young adults with disabilities.

Located in Dublin, they employ approximately 140 staff within our teaching, fundraising and care provision departments.

LauraLynn’s mission is to provide a Community of Care that delivers evidence-based, personalised services to children with palliative care needs, complex care needs, and complex disabilities, while also providing family support services and a home to our residents where quality-of-life is paramount.

It all started with Jane and Brendan McKenna and their two daughters, Laura and Lynn. The youngest daughter Laura, was born with a hole in her heart, and having endured and survived six months and two serious operations in Our Lady’s Hospital Crumlin, went on to have a few relatively good years, with the final repair operation to come. Sadly, when it did, Laura did not survive it and died in 1999, aged just four. Lynn, on the other hand, had 13 years of perfect health until she was diagnosed with Leukaemia just days before her younger sister passed away. She sadly passed

away aged 15.

Through their personal experience, Jane and Brendan were aware of the need for support and palliative care in a home from home environment, so they established the LauraLynn Foundation and dreamed of building a hospice dedicated to their memory. They worked tirelessly raising funds and fulfilled their dream when they joined forces with The Children’s Sunshine Home Hospice Project and succeeded in the building of a dedicated children’s palliative care unit. It was opened in September 2011 by President Mary McAleese and since then has provided care and support to more than 450 families from the time of diagnosis, through crises and, where required, at end of life and into bereavement. This award

winning healthcare building and it’s everyday operations are funded by the generous support of our donors.

IRD Duhallow will be participating on the GoGreen Day for Laura Lynn this year and invites you all to take part too! We’ll be dressing in green on the 15th, ahead of the St. Patrick’s Day weekend and raising as much funds as we can for this great service

Notifications About Nothing

By ALICE O’BRIEN

Alice O’Brien Counselling, Newmarket

When the postman comes to my door if I’m not at home, I get a notification on my phone. My colleague gets regular notifications when their teenager buys a chocolate bar on his school lunch break. Your fridge can send you a notification if the milk supply runs low. All these pings on our phone alert us to things that are not vital to the running of our daily lives. Are we being constantly contacted by things that don’t add to our connection? Is our phone is alerting us to useless information?

Can you remember the last time you had a meaningful conversation with someone who phoned to see

how you are?

Connecting to others is a vital part of live, daily chats can really enhance our mental health. In an attempt to make our lives faster and more convenient, we are losing that connection. The self-service check-out in the supermarket won’t ask you how you are, or how the kids are or even if you got over the recent flu you had. We might get out of the shop faster by scanning our own groceries, but we’ve made no eye contact with anyone, or had no meaningful interaction.

Social isolation can be a big issue for rural areas. Being miles away from your nearest neighbour means the chances of informal interactions are less likely. So, we need to ensure we keep the

everyday encounters going. Drones delivering your package might be a futuristic concept but it isn’t impossible and a drone won’t wave at you like the DPD man will.

So, how do we keep the connection alive? Well, we can support on-going efforts in the community, groups that can only run if you make an effort to go. Active retirement groups, tidy town’s projects or mother and toddler groups. When we attend these groups, we strengthen our connection to our community in general and benefit our own mental health at the same time.

So, if you’re thinking of joining that local group this is your sign to go do it.

Detox This Equinox

By MAIREAD O’KEEFFE New Leaf Health Store

The Spring Equinox falls on 24th March this year. It is the day that the sun aligns with the equator, meaning that we have a perfect balance of 12 hours of day and 12 hours of night across the entire planet. It marks the change of seasons.

The Vernal (Spring) Equinox is the perfect time for a cathartic clear out. Tidying, decluttering and cleaning and swapping winter woollies for summer clothes.

Many people schedule a regular cleanse at the Equinox or solstice to enjoy the benefits of greater energy, improved digestion, clearer skin, weight loss and improved mood. Indeed, many naturopaths

consider that the Equinox is the optimum time for a cleansing detoxification. It is considered in certain spiritual circles that fasting or cleansing during the Equinox and solstice is more effective than at other times in the planetary calendar.

Some herbs traditionally associated with detoxifying the body are milk thistle, cleavers, burdock, dandelion, and nettle. Viridian have some super herbal tinctures in their range and there are some excellent herbal teas that you can enjoy. These have the extra benefit of increasing your intake of water as well as giving the benefits of herbs.

Oxidative stress can be caused by toxins in the environment or in our diets, stress and exposure to the sun. It can even be caused

by vigorous exercise, It may be wise to supplement with natural antioxidants. To combat oxidative stress in the body and protect the skin many beauty supplements contain ingredients such as Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Selenium, Betacarotene or Grapeseed extract.

If you want an all in one option to give you a great balance of detoxifying ingredients and antioxidants as well as other beneficial ingredients like Biotin and Zinc you can try Viridian Beauty Complex, Viridian Clear Skin Complex, or Terranova Beauty complex.

Call in to New Leaf if you want to discuss any specific issues you might have with your skin, hair or nails.

Metastatic (Stage 4) Cancer? Speak to a Peer for Support

By CHRISTINE EICHBAUM

If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with metastatic (stage 4, or secondary) cancer, a cancer that has spread to other organs from it’s origins, it can feel like the proverbial rug that has been pulled from under you.

The Irish Cancer Society offers a free one to one peer support that consists of up to 4 confidential phone calls from trained volunteers who are all living with stage 4 cancer, providing understanding warmth, empathy and listening. When I was diagnosed by chance through an MRI for something unrelated with stage 4 breast cancer, it came as a total shock, and it took time, and support, to

learn to live with a new reality. Having had a phone call with a volunteer peer supporter at the time was just so lovely, I felt less alone, and I felt understood. And, crucially, I felt some hope! Later, I entered the training to become a peer supporter, and I am grateful for the opportunity to be able to help others.

If you would like to find out

more, or ask for a peer supporter to call you, you can either ring the Irish Cancer Society Helpline on 1800 200 700, where a nurse will talk you through the process, or drop into the Daffodil Centre in Cork University Hospital, Cork.

World Hearing Day 2024: How To Access Ear and Hearing Care Services in Cork

By BRENDON PURCHASE

World Hearing Day is an annual global advocacy event for raising awareness regarding hearing loss and promoting earcare, and calling for action to address hearing loss and related issues.

Each year, this event is celebrated on 3 March. This day addresses the growing prevalence of hearing loss and aims to prevent hearing impairment through public health strategies and advocacy.

Hearing loss has often been referred to as an “invisible disability”, not just because of the lack of visible symptoms, but because it has long been stigmatized in communities and ignored by policy-makers.

World Hearing Day 2024 focused focus on helping people overcome societal misperceptions and stigmatizing mindsets. It helps people understand and accept hearing loss better by sharing facts and stories raising awareness.

Globally, over 80% of ear and hearing care needs remain unmet. Changing mindsets related to ear and hearing care is crucial to improving access and mitigating the cost of unaddressed hearing loss which the World Hearing

Organization states totals almost $1 trillion globally every year.

There is a quiet epidemic of hearing loss in Ireland, as many people ignore the problem or suffer in silence for years before getting their hearing loss treated.

The Irish Society of Hearing Aid Audiologists estimates that one in 12 people in Ireland will acquire a permanent hearing loss. And about 50 per cent of those over 75 say that they experience some hearing loss.

Unlike sight tests which most people will go for willingly, there is a stigma about hearing loss as people associate it with the ageing process and are often reluctant to having their hearing checked.

It is advised that people have their hearing checked every two years from their late 30s or early 40s onwards. “People are on the go constantly now and we are seeing hearing loss at earlier ages – particularly for those who work in very noisy environments”.

Medical card holders are entitled to free hearing aids. The HSE also offers hearing aid grants through the PRSI system.

When people get hearing aids earlier, not only is it good for their quality of life but it reduces the health burden on the State.

Signs that you have hearing loss:

1. If you turn up the volume on a television, radio or computer louder than usual to hear what is being said. This is often noticed only when others in your company find the volume too loud.

2. If you have trouble hearing the person you are speaking to on the telephone. Or you ask the person to repeat what he/she said.

3. If you find it difficult to follow a group conversation, particularly if you can’t see the speaker or there are a few people speaking at the same time.

4. If you struggle to hear people speak in noisy environments such as restaurants, clubs or bars.

5. In a work context, an unexplained decline in productivity or work done incorrectly by a staff member who is usually reliable, a sudden lack of confidence or depression can be caused by undiagnosed hearing loss.

Blow Up

Tadhg finally gives his thoughts on the 2023 cultural event known as ‘Barbenheimer’ which saw two movies, - Barbie and Oppenheimer, released simultaneously. Beginning with Chrstopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer (2023), was it worth the hype?

Christopher Nolan made a massive return to the big screen in 2023 with his epic Oppenheimer His previous movie, Tenet, was released during the Covid Lockdowns of 2020 and was met with lukewarm box office and critical reviews. Oppenheimer saw him take back his position as the premier event cinema filmmaker. A massive hit at the box office, to look at the premise of Oppenheimer, it screamed anything but.

Based on the book American Prometheus by Kai Bird and Martin J Sherwin. It deals with J. Robert Oppenheimer (played by Cillian Murphy), the theoretical physicist. Dubbed the ‘father of the Atomic Bomb’, it follows his involvement with the Manhattan Projectthe World War 2 undertaking in developing the first Nuclear weapons - and his subsequent fall from grace due to his 1954 security hearing.

The movie shows that at some point in WW2, the Americans were in a race against the Nazis to develop a nuclear bomb. Racing to produce this weapon leads us to the stand-out sequence of Oppenheimer - the Trinity test. So tense, so thrilling, the ultimate countdown. Many believed at the time that by creating and igniting a bomb of this nature, there was

a possibility it would lead to an endless chain reaction that would eventually destroy the world. Never has pushing a button had so much riding on it. It’s executed to perfection. The whole movie is. Its photography and score intersperse old techniques with the new. Nolan is one of the few filmmakers today to still shoot on film. Shot in the massive IMAX film format, it looks glorious. Composer Ludwig Göransson incorporates an amazing score that is both ethereal and classical, mixing ambient soundscapes with jittery strings. Nolan is also someone that tries to do as much practically as possible. The Trinity Test was done for real, replicating the notorious mushroom cloud with practical effects. It’s an incredible example of the craft of film-making at its best.

The second half follows Oppenheimer as he defends himself in security hearings and while these scenes might be less thrilling, they are thrilling just watching great actors be great. These scenes are tense in their own way; claustrophobic, repetitive, we are under as much duress as the character is.

Cillian Murphy is so good in this movie, we feel the weight of

the world on his shoulders. He has such a unique and expressive face but here, it’s stony. Yet we get glimpses of what the enigmatic Oppenheimer is feeling. Murphy leads an epic ensemble cast. There are so many to mention but for me, Robert Downey Jr. is the real stand out. As Lewis Straus, he is so restrained playing someone who is not number one, someone who feels he is owed praise and recognition and is spiteful and petty when he isn’t. He’s incredible.

Why did Oppenheimer hit the way it did? Maybe it was Nolan’s name and reputation. Maybe it’s the current cultural feeling in the air, that the world is on fire and humanity was and always will be the most self destructive of the species. It certainly feels pretty grim these days and Nolan’s movie doesn’t give us any easy answers. Those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it. True words for living life. When it comes to art, and the movies, I hope filmmakers follow Nolan’s lead and keep pushing through the BS of Hollywood to produce works as great as this.

Superb!

The Burial Cloth of Jesus - Shroud of Turin

By TOM DENNEHY

The burial cloth of Jesus has attracted a lot of attention since it was discovered in 1390 AD. It consists of a 14 foot linen cloth bearing an image of the crucified Jesus. It was the burial shroud that wrapped the crucified Jesus when He was placed in the tomb.

The imprint of His crucified body on the shroud was caused by the intense burst of UV radiation and energy released at His resurrection among other notable facts that has made its authenticity stand.

The burial cloth is mentioned in all of the four gospel accounts – the wrapping of the body by Joseph of Arimathea and the disciples finding the cloths after The Resurrection.

The shroud was damaged in a fire in 1532 in the chapel in Chambery in France. Fourteen large triangular patches and eight smaller ones were sewn in to the cloth by the Poor Clare nuns to repair the damage.

In 1988, radiocarbon dating tests were carried out which claimed the samples dated to The Middle Ages. Further interest was aroused in 1998 when it was found that the radiocarbon dating results of 1988 were suspect as the scientists did not adhere to prescribed protocol. For some reason samples were taken only from the damaged and repaired parts of the shroud.

Evidence that has convinced many of the Shroud’s authenticity

1. The image on the shroud could only have been caused by some intense burst of UV directional radiation not understood until modern times – that at the moment of the Resurrection of Jesus, there was

an incredible explosion of light lasting for only a fraction of a second that left the imprint of His crucified body on the cloth.

2. Embedded in the shroud is the imprint of two coins used to keep the eyes closed before being wrapped in the shroud. These coins, minted in 29 AD, bear the name Tiberius Caesar.

3. The Sudarium of Oviedo, long venerated as the cloth that covered the head of Jesus, has a known history going back to 577AD. When this cloth is placed over the head area of the Shroud of Turin, it matches to an amazing degree 123 blood stains found in the head area of the shroud. There is a similar blood flow pattern consistent with a crucified man. Without doubt, the shroud and the Sudarium touched the same face of a crucified man.

4. Both the sudarium and the shroud display blood marks that have remained (unusually) crimson in colour- indicating the presence of high levels of bilirubin. When a man is tortured and deprived of liquid, he can go in to shock and the liver starts pumping out bilirubin. It makes the blood stay crimson red forever. The blood group found on both cloths is AB+. Amazingly, Eucharistic miracles that have been investigated by the Church throughout the centuriesthose times when the Eucharistic species have turned into visibly human flesh and blood – were found to be the same blood type.

5. Different tests show that most of the pollen fossils on the shroud are specific to the area of Judea in the First Century AD. They also indicate that the shroud spent time in Odessa, in Constantinople and in France.

Bruno Barberis, Professor of Mathematical Physics at the University of Turin and Vice President of the Brotherhood of

The Holy Shroud, provides us with reasons why he believes the man in the shroud is Jesus of Nazareth.

1. Wrapped in a sheet – both the image on the shroud and the body of Jesus were wrapped in a sheet after death which was very rare.

2. Crown of thorns - both wore crown of thorns on their heads. This fact is truly exceptional. No historical document describes this custom.

3. Transporting the cross. Like Jesus the man in the shroud carried a heavy object on his shoulders, which can only be the cross on which he was nailed.

4. The use of nails. Both Jesus and the man in the shroud were nailed to a cross.

5. Unbroken legs. Both were injured in the side after death, with unbroken legs. This is unique, as breaking the legs of of the crucified to hasten death was very common.

The shroud is housed at the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist in Turin. It has rarely been displayed publicly in order to preserve it.

As we journey through Lent, let us profess our belief in The Resurrection of Jesus from the dead. He has conquered death. So let us go forth with great joy and sing on Easter morning. Alleluia, Alleluia, He is Risen, Alleluia.

Inspire Inclusion on International Women’s Day 2024

International women’s day is celebrated annually on March 8th as a cornerstone in the women’s right movement. Promoting the achievements of women worldwide, originally as a strategy to promote equal rights, we are now able to celebrate women who have made remarkable change in all facets of life.

The family moved to Dublin, where Sarah met and fell in love with Robert Emmet. After Emmet’s rebellion failed, Sarah’s involvement with him became known. Angry that his daughter had been compromised, Curran refused to act as his lawyer. After Emmet was executed, Sarah found refuge in the house of Cooper Penrose, an old friend of her fathers, near Tivoli in Cork. She married an English army officer called Henry Sturgeon in 1805.

She is buried with her grandmother’s people, the Philpotts, in the Church of Ireland graveyard in Newmarket.

Celebrating Maurice

By ADAM O’CONNOR

Having been held annually during Easter Week since 2002, the Maurice O’Keeffe Music Festival has now reached its twenty-third year. It is a Week-Long Festival of Sessions, Céilís, Set Dancing Workshops, Concerts, Mass and Choir, & Much More! Among the activities it offers are Morning Escorted Tours including visits to The Ring of Kerry, The Dingle Peninsula, The Gap of Dunloe & West Cork. Its purpose since its inception has always been to celebrate the amazing Maurice O’Keeffe and his equally amazing life.

Born in Glounreigh in 1919, Maurice’s love of music started in his early childhood, and can be attributed to his mother Mary O’Keeffe. An accomplished concertina and melodeon player from a noted musical family, Mary ensured that music became entrenched in the lives of her children. At age ten, Maurice acquired his first musical instrument, a fiddle, purchased for him by his mother in Ballydesmond, and received lessons from renowned local teacher John Linehan. It appears that Maurice was Linehan’s last pupil. The lessons imbued Maurice

with a style and repertoire that would serve him well throughout his long life, and he continued to have lessons with his mother following Linehan’s death. Frequent house parties in the neighbourhood ensured that Maurice had plenty of opportunity to hone his craft.

Maurice became a favourite performer of many music halls in his area, but such occasions became less frequent as the music hall scene died out in the 1950s. Subsequently Maurice would occupy himself far more with his home life, raising eight children with his wife Peg. However, this musical dry spell was not to last, as the revival of set dancing and rising popularity of pub sessions brought with them opportunities for Maurice to perform in other parts of Sliabh Luachra and establish himself as a fixture of the musical community.

Despite never producing a commercial recording, Maurice’s gift for the music of his locality ensured that his legacy would last for many years to come, though it was his immense generosity to all that will last in people’s hearts and minds for generations. Until his death in 2017, he was not only the guest of honour at the music festival named after him, but an active participant, playing away in

the sessions until the wee hours. In 2007 he was presented with the Patrick O’Keeffe Traditional Music Award in recognition of his contribution to the tradition.

Interview With Kanturk Men’s Shed

By KEVIN O’ CONNOR

2003&2023 Special Olympian, & 2023 Person of the Month

How did the Men’s Shed first start?

The Men’s Shed was formed by guys like Eddie Walsh and John fuller. It started off in Edel Quinn Hall as we had no place of our own.

How did you get volunteers involved with the organisation outside from Kanturk town and in town?

Getting members or volunteers was a bit of a struggle and has been over the years, but luckily we had a solid group of lads who continued coming weekly over the years. Thankfully, this last 6 months we gained 4 or 5 new members which was a great boost to Kanturk Men’s Shed.

Tell us about the community achievements led out by the Men’s Shed?

Our success in the community comes from been involved in community projects over the years. We made 16 Park Benches for the play park and set them in concrete bases, we made the Christmas Crib which is the main focal point in O’Brien St Park over the Christmas period, and we made numerous flower planters which are lined out all over the place and filled yearly by the tidy towns so there just a few of our community projects.

With all the other Men’s Sheds around the county, would Kanturk Men’s Shed be the stronger one?

Strength wise vs other Men’s Sheds in the county, it’s a hard call but I’d say that Kanturk Mens

Shed is definitely as strong as any in the county and once we move to our new home – Kanturk Old Fire Station – and re-develop it, we would have huge plans for the future and expect to get a lot stronger in terms of what we do and how we help out with men’s health etc.

With all the events around Kanturk, how did you find time? Basically, we never looked out at any other group and what they do. We focus on our own events like our Christmas Fair and our Darkness into Light walk, and over the years our Christmas fair has proven to be one of the biggest and best supported fairs in the area. In the near future, we plan to maybe hold a coffee morning etc.

With all charities the Men’s Shed organise, what fundraising events would ye do?

Our fundraising for Charities; basically we run the Darkness into Light walk in aid of Pieta House every May, and its a huge event and well supported.

Two years back, we held a fundraiser for a guy called Padraig O’Keeffe and his dog Cooper, a K9 search and rescue dog who went to Ukraine in search of bodies due to the war with Russia. We raised €6852.02 by holding a

bucket collection in Kanturk Town one Saturday, and it helped cover his costs for a few months.

Twelve months previous, we held another fundraiser for a member of our Shed who had a house fire. We called it the Mannix House Fire Fundraiser and raised close on €14,000 again by a bucket collection in the town of Kanturk one Saturday so we have been useful in helping those in need in more ways than one.

Tell me about getting Most Physically Active Shed?

Getting the Most Physically Active Shed was a huge boost for us at the Men’s Shed event held in Cork in January.

It showed just how much we do as in projects for the community, projects for people who ask help in making or repairing stuff for them, and of course our Poly Tunnel – a 50ft by 20ft tunnel – is an incredible project we took on 2 years back. It involved serious land cleaning before erecting our tunnel and getting it laid out ready for its 1st planting this coming spring. That was one of our greatest achievements due to every member getting stuck into it over a period of time. Possibly the reason why we got the Most Physically Active Shed for all the work we done vs some Men’s Sheds maybe

focusing more on relaxing time together when opened.

By Plugging the Shed around the Duhallow area, will you get more volunteer members on board?

Plugging Men’s Shed in Duhallow is never really an issue. We don’t go searching for members unless we know them, and maybe while in conversation we would mention it to them. Mostly new members would have heard or read about us and just make contact. For example, some of the new members lately just moved into local townlands and inquired about activities and were told of Kanturk Men’s Shed so obviously our name is out there with the public.

Tell us more about your Christmas Market?

Christmas events for us is a huge bonus as our Christmas fair is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and we raised over €3,000 from

last year’s fair. We then make that night a night out for us, and usually go for Dinner and a few drinks and sing song after the fair is over; as I say, our Christmas party. Then we try to help the lights committee in setting up the Christmas lights in town and take them down again after Christmas so it’s a busy time of year for the men involved.

Tell us about the Men’s Shed outings?

Our outing over the year is the highlight of our summer which we started 2 years ago. We went to Cobh and visited Spike Island before having dinner in the Commodore Hotel and then going onto Middleton Distillery; a fantastic adventure.

Last summer we went to Kinsale and started with a harbour cruise before having lunch in the Acton Hotel and then going onto Charles Fort which was another huge success and time out for all the

Interview

guys. We finish off our day out with a few drinks and sing song. This is a very important bonding day for all involved.

In the Men’s Shed, have the Shed any favourite Legends of all time?

It’s hard to call on our favourite legends, I suppose everyone has their own but for me having dealt with and fundraised for Padraig O’Keeffe and his K9 search and rescue dog Cooper, he gets my plaudits.

I feel everyone chooses their legend through sports, but for me, offering there services in finding bodies in a bombed country where they risked their own lives deserves the highest accolade. Outside of these heroics, Padraig was an absolute gentleman who’s passion set him on his own path in life and one he followed to the end.
