towntalk THE town is pulling out all the stops as the Bank of Ireland Enterprise Town event arrives in Killarney next Friday, April 15, and Saturday, April 16. The programme of events will take place on the Friday from 5pm to 8pm at the Killarney Sports & Leisure Centre and on Saturday, April 16, from 12pm to 3pm at the Killarney Racecourse. You will get to enjoy a business, community and sports expo as well as plenty of family-friendly activity throughout the day. The Bank of Ireland Enterprise Town event has been organised by the bank in partnership with the local community, said Deirdre Twomey, Bank of Ireland, Killarney, branch manager. “The initiative aims to promote enterprise and drive business momentum for local businesses and the wider sports and social community in Killarney by connecting with the communities in these areas to showcase what the area has to offer,” added Deirdre. “Events are free to attend for all the family and are open to both customers and non-customers of Bank of Ireland. “Over the course of the two days, 100 exhibitors will display a wide variety of products and services and we are calling on those living and working in Killarney to come and support all the exhibitors.” On Friday night broadcaster Weeshie Fogarty will facilitate a panel discussion with Gillian O’Sullivan, world champion walker and personal trainer; Brendan Kealy, Kerry footballer and startup business owner; Michael Stack, Tricel Ireland owner and manager; Kate O’Leary, Killarney Chamber of Tourism & Commerce president, and Michael Buckley, Kerry Coaches owner and manager. Well-known TV chef and author Rachel Allen will also be in attendance. On Saturday there will be a sports panel discussion with Mick Galway, former Munster and Ireland rugby player; Liam Sheedy, former Tipperary hurling manager; Killian Young, Kerry footballer; and Jim Culloty, former jockey and horse trainer. A second panel will consist of Siobhan Linehan, founding member of Defibrillator Action; Cathal Walshe, from Ring of Kerry Cycle; Pat Dawson, from Killarney House Redevelopment and Henry Clifton.

Centenary Shield Clash At Celtic Park THERE are probably few more apt settings for a Ireland v Scotland soccer international than Celtic Park, Killarney. This Thursday night, April 14, at 7pm the two sides clash in the Centenary Shield with the Irish under-18 Schools taking on the Scottish under-18 Schools. The Centenary Shield is a competition dating back to 1973 with England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland taking part for the start. The Republic of Ireland joined in 2003 and have won the competition five times and are defending champions. They play England away this Friday night and then head to Killarney. The Irish side have drawn their only game to date - a 0-0 draw with Northern Ireland. Scotland have lost by a goal in both their games - v Wales 1-0 and England 2-1. From a Kerry point of view, Jesse Stafford Lacey from the Park and Mercy Mounthawk is on the panel. Come along and support the Boys in Green at Celtic Park this Thursday, April 14.

Killarney House opens the gates on a new era

IT REMINDED me of those dreams where you find a room you never knew existed in your home. As the crowds wandered happily around the preview opening of Killarney House & Gardens last Sunday, their smiles reflected the fact that the whole community feels as if an entire new dimension has been added to the town. Killarney is now truly “the town in the park”, in the words of Killarney Chamber of Tourism & Commerce.

The potential of the planting around the elaborate pathways is exciting and the whole project blends town and National Park beautifully. Families basking in the sunshine got to eye the town from another – wonderful – perspective. The Thursday before the opening, a mural blossomed on the walls by the Golden Gates, quoting author Frances Hodgson Burnett’s famous line: “And the secret garden bloomed and bloomed and every morning revealed new miracles.” This was never truer than last Sunday.

See our coverage on pages 2829 of this welcome new chapter for Killarney. Congratulations also order to St Brendan’s College which brought the coveted Hogan Cup back to town on Saturday following the All-Ireland Colleges final. Last but not least, well done to the 3,500 volunteers who took action the same day to help ensure the county is looking its best following the Kerry County Clean-Up in association with KWD. EVE KELLIHER,

Mario Rosenstock To Bring A Host Of Friends To Killarney

Question Should my dog be microchipped? Does the microchip replace a dog licence? Answer Under the Microchipping of Dogs Regulations 2015, all dogs born after 1 June 2015 must be microchipped and registered on an authorised database by the time they are 12 weeks old, or if they leave the property on which they were born before the age of 12 weeks. The microchip does not replace the licence. You will still need to have a licence for your dog. Dog licences are issued by your local authority. If your dog was born after 1 June 2015 and is now over 12 weeks old, it should already have been microchipped and registered. Since 31 March 2016, the Regulations apply to all dogs over 12 weeks old. Even if your dog has already been microchipped (for a pet passport, for example) it needs to be registered on an authorised database as well.

EXPECT a whole host of characters from Kerry and Ireland’s sporting, political and cultural domains to entertain you as Mario Rosenstock takes centre in the INEC this weekend. Mario told Killarney Advertiser he always enjoys appearing in the venue where the crowd lap up the characters – particularly those with a Kerry accent! His brand-new stage show is proving enormously popular and follows the phenomenal sold-out nationwide tours of Gift Grub Live in 2010, 2012 and 2014, with sales of over 150,000. “The show will feature all-new sketches with numerous brand-new characters as seen on TV plus Gift Grub favourites,” said Mario. "I can't wait for people to see the new show and be a part of it - there's going to be even more audience interaction this time so, watch out, If you're in the audience, you might be on stage too!" Mario will perform in the INEC tomorrow, Saturday, April 9. For details on tickets contact the INEC Box Office on 064-6671555 or see Ticketmaster.ie

The microchip can only be implanted by a vet, a veterinary nurse or a person who has been trained by one of the authorised databases. The microchip contains a unique 15-digit number. When you register with an authorised database, this number is recorded on it, along with your name and address details. Microchipping and registering means that, if your dog goes missing and is found, you can be identified as its owner and be reunited with it. If you plan to buy a new dog at any stage, you should check that it has been microchipped and registered. The seller has to give you the dog’s certificate of registration and you should forward it to the relevant database to get the details updated. If you move house, you will need to update your contact details on the database. The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine has published a list of authorised databases, along with a set of Frequently Asked Questions, on agriculture.gov.ie. Further information is available from the Citizens Information Centre below.

St Brendan’s College power to victory to claim Hogan Cup

HOGAN CUP HEROES

WHAT a week it’s been for St Brendan’s College which ended a 24-year famine as it triumphed in the All-Ireland Colleges final and raised the Hogan Cup with pride on Saturday. The Killarney side defeated St Patrick’s College, Maghera, on a socreline of St Brendan’s 2-13 St Patrick’s 2-6. A top-class performance by David Clifford, 2-5, culminated in his sealing victory with a second goal in the second minute of injury time, after an excellent run by Evan Cronin to create the opening. Maghera’s failure to build on Shane McGuigan’s goal on 36 minutes ultimately proved their downfall. The Derry outfit held the inside lane for much of that opening period, thanks in the main to a Patrick Kearney goal on eight minutes. St Brendan’s rattled off the next five scores through Billy Courtney (’45), Evan Cronin, Michael Casey and David Clifford (0-2). The scoreboard now read 0-6 to 1-2. David Clifford passed into Croke Park legend following his breath-taking late show. The Munster champions ran out 2-13 to 2-6 winners in the end. St Brendan’s received a rapturous welcome back to base on Monday as their schoolmates, college principal Sean Coffey and staff congratulated them.

Killarney To Step It Out In Memory Of Paddy

KERRY and Legion sharpshooter James O’Donoghue was on hand on Killarney’s High Street to help unveil details of the first-ever Paddy Turner Memorial Walk on Monday evening. The event is being organised in honour of popular Killarney man Paddy Turner, who died last year, and it will take place on Saturday, April 23. “As Paddy loved to walk every day, it is fitting that the people who knew him so well are now walking in his memory,” said organiser Enda Walshe. Friends of Paddy gathered at the bench erected in his memory at the top of High Street for the launch of the walk. Registration will be in the Killarney Avenue Hotel at 10.15am on April 23 and the walk itself will proceed along Mission Road, entering the demesne area at the Deenagh Bridge entrance and continuing through Killarney National Park following the route of the Circular Walk (a total of 5km). The registration fee is a minimum donation of €10 with proceeds to go to two local charities. One of these is the Killarney Men’s Shed which is a dedicated, friendly and welcoming meeting place where men come together and undertake a variety of mutually agreed activities. New members are always welcome. In addition, the Killarney branch of the Kerry Mental Health Association will benefit. For many years, the association has been supporting people with mental health problems through social housing, befriending, recreational programmes, holidays, transport and the provision of occupational therapy. “Both these worthy charities are housed in the same complex on the site of the old Ross Products Factory on Upper Lewis Road. Just a stone’s throw away from where Paddy lived,” said Enda. “Huge thanks to Jean Courtney of Killarney Valley Athletics and Pat Dawson of the National Parks & Wildlife Service for their cooperation in facilitating the walk and also to the Gardaí for their assistance.”

Funding For Killarney Roads FUNDING for three Killarney roads has been welcomed. Park Road will receive €55,000 for 300 metres, Mill Road, €50,000 for 400 metes, and Woodlawn Road, €59,000 for 400 metres. "Since the abolition of Killarney Town Council, I have sought to ensure that matters of concern relating to the urban area are given appropriate attention,” said Cllr Gleeson. “I am, therefore, pleased to inform the at the recent Municipal Area Meeting my colleagues and I formally approved these roads maintenance grants.” Cllr Gleeson has also allocated the sum of €4,000 towards the provision of a controlled pedestrian crossing at Countess Road. “This is for the benefit of the general public and in particular to ensure greater safety for parents and pupils going to and from Saint Oliver's National School,” he said.

Kerry and Legion football star James O’Donoghue launches the first Paddy Turner Memorial Walk.

Commemorative stone to be unveiled in Valentia AS PART of the Kerry 1916 Centenary Commemorations, a ceremony will be held in Knightstown, Valentia, on Sunday, April 17, to mark the role of local brothers Timothy and Eugene Ring and their cousin Rosalie Rice in the Easter Rising of 1916. Timothy and Eugene Ring worked at the Valentia Island Cable Station. Timothy was a member of the Irish Republican Brotherhood and was enlisted by the Supreme Council of the IRB at the beginning of 1916 to send an apparently innocuous but coded message to Clan na Gael in America and its leader, John Devoy. With the assistance of their first cousin, Rosalie Rice, who worked at Kenmare Post Office, a telegram was sent from the post office via the cable station and to New York on Easter Monday colloquially known to have said “Mother operated on successfully today. Signed, Kathleen”, though a recent discovery has shown this to be “Tom operated on successfully, today, Margaret O’Sullivan”. The event on Sunday, April 17, at 3pm will involve the unveiling of a commemorative stone to Timothy and Eugene Ring and Rosalie Rice (in the public area directly opposite the Cable Station at Knightstown, Valentia Island). Kerry 2016 co-ordinator and arts officer with Kerry County Council, Kate Kennelly said there will be a flag-raising ceremony by the Defence Forces and there will be performances from the Valentia Pipe Band and baritone Gavin Ring, a descendant of the Ring brothers. “The Cathaoirleach of the Kerry County Council

will deliver the keynote address and the children of the local national school will sing the national anthem. Many members of the Ring/ Rice family will be in attendance and a reception will be held afterwards at the Royal Hotel. The old Cable Station building will be opened for a few hours for anyone wishing to see the location where it all happened. Everyone is welcome,” she said. “This is the first is a series of very significant commemorations in Kerry. On April 21, we will have an event at Ballykissane Pier in Killorglin to remember the first casualties of the Rising who drowned on Good Friday and later that day, the President of Ireland, will attend a ceremony at Banna Strand to honour Sir Roger Casement.”

Timothy and Eugene Ring.

‘You Will Be Believed And You Will Be Supported’

Michael Crosses The Finish Line In Style CONGRATULATIONS to Kilcummin native Michael O’Connor who impressed on the world athletics stage last week. Michael, a member of Farranfore Maine Valley AC, finished 10th in the European Masters 5k race-walk in Ancona in Italy and was the second scoring member of the Irish team that finished in fourth place. The masters category is for people aged from 35 upwards, explained Michael, 66. “I have been competing in athletics for nearly five decades now,” said Michael. “I was originally encouraged by a friend of mine, Jim O’Shea from Listry, who also competes and is a British and Irish high jump champion.”

Concern Over Mental Health Services In Kerry

Michael was one of only four Kerry men to compete in the Italian event, the others being Ger Cremin and Pat Murphy from Castleisland and Cian Lynch from Caherciveen. His fellow team members were Bernie O’Callaghan, Donegal, and Sean McMullin, Mullingar. “There were people there competing in their 80s and 90s and there is wonderful camaraderie at these events,” he said. Michael trains four to five days a week, usually around Killarney National Park and the Fossa Way. The next event on Michael’s athletics calendar is the National Masters AAI Championship in Tullamore in July.

A NEW unit which opened in Tralee Courthouse on Tuesday sends a message of support to those who have survived sexual crime, said Vera O’Leary of the Kerry Rape and Sexual Abuse Centre. A woman who suffered sexual abuse by her brother-in-law when she was a child praised the new court support room – the first such facility outside of Dublin – and said she hopes others who have suffered abuse will be encouraged to come forward because of the facility. Deborah Courtney, 54, from Castlegregory, Co Kerry, was only 10 when she suffered the abuse, which continued for three years. In February of last year, she and her older sister Mary, waived their right to anonymity, following the conviction of their abuser. “The victims need to be protected and it’s almost like an embrace to have a room like this — it’s so calming and welcoming,” she said. Vera O’Leary, director of Kerry Rape & Sexual Abuse Centre, which lobbied for the support room, thanked the Courts Service for providing the facility. “We have accompanied many survivors to court and are only too aware of the impact on the victim that this experience can have,” she said. “Survivors of sexual violence will be unfamiliar with the courts and attending as a witness can be a daunting experience. Being in close proximity with the accused and not having a dedicated waiting space can add to that trauma.” She added: “It gives a very clear message to both victims and survivors that you will be believed and you will be supported, so please come forward.” This facility, which was officially opened by Dr Mary McCaffrey, will provide a comfortable safe space for the clients of the Kerry Rape and Sexual Abuse Centre and will also be used by ADAPT Kerry Women’s Refuge, Tralee Women’s Resource Centre & Federation of Victim Assistance.

KERRY has seen a sharp increase in the number of people availing of local services for mental health wellbeing, according to the South West Counselling Centre. The centre, which provides outreach services in the community including low-cost counselling, revealed at its AGM that it had provided support to over 2,400 clients in Kerry in 2015, an increase of 26% on the previous year. The demand for services provided by SWCC continues to grow with an alarming increase in client numbers of over 90% in the last four years. “Funding continues to be a constant struggle with the need for ongoing fundraising paramount in sustaining and developing services for individuals in need,” said the centre’s business manager, Nikki Wissell. “We receive no Government funding for our Kerry Lifeline Service and we remain indebted to the local community, our fundraisers, supporters and friends of SWCC who contribute time, expertise and money in supporting us.” The annual AGM meeting for SouthWest Counselling Centre was held at the end of March at the centre’s premises in Lewis Road, Killarney. SouthWest Counselling Centre also offers Kerry Lifeline, a suicide prevention and awareness service, which provides free counselling and support groups. The Centre can be contacted on 064-6636416 or by email on info@southwestcounselling.ie or see www.southwestcounselling.ie or

Soroptimists Flip Into Action For Local Charities

Beverley Is Killarney-Bound BRIT-AWARD winning singer Beverley Craven is on her way to Killarney where she plays the INEC on April 15. Beverley became a household name in the early 1990s with the release of her eponymous debut album that became a worldwide hit, selling more than two million copies. Her 1991 single, Promise Me, went on to become a huge hit across Europe and she followed this up with a string of chart successes. After a ten-year hiatus from the music business Beverley returned for some live appearances in 2004. However her “comeback” was cut short when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. “I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005 and it was a bolt from the blue,” Beverley told the Killarney Advertiser. “I know so many women who are suffering from it, it is an epidemic.” Following the all-clear she returned to music and in 2009 released her album Close To Home. She showed that she has lost none of her

ability to sing from the heart about the things that truly touched her. Tragically, Beverley’s beloved sister Kathy died from cancer at just 44, a loss the singer describes as “devastating”. “I am still very angry about what happened to my sister,” she said. Beverley published her own autobiography, Truth Be Told, in 2012. The book revealed in honest detail the story of her Home Counties upbringing, the rise of her music career, her battle with cancer and the aftermath including the breakdown of her marriage and her career revival. Beverley is now looking forward to performing new songs from her current album Change of Heart alongside her timeless classics. “Expect a lot of old stuff, new stuff and stuff in between!” she said. Appearing in Ireland for the first time in over 20 years Beverley is embarking on a mini tour of Ireland and performs in the INEC Acoustic Club on April 15.

IT DREW a packed attendance when it was held on Shrove Tuesday and the pancake morning organised by the Killarney branch of Soroptimist International paid off for a number of deserving local charities this week. Receiving cheques at a ceremony in the Killarney Plaza Hotel on Tuesday were the St Mary’s Church of Ireland repair fund, the Killarney Order of Malta, and the Kerry Cancer Support Group. Part of Soroptimist International, a worldwide organisation for women, the Killarney group is one of the longest-established in the country and has notched up half a century promoting women, human rights, friendship, and assisting local causes in Killarney. Proceeds of the Shrove Tuesday pancakes and raffle morning also went to South West Counselling Centre and to local woman Mary O’Leary who is travelling to Nepal to carry out missionary work. Acting president Noeleen O’Sullivan thanked the public for their generous support, once again. “We would especially like to thank the Killarney Avenue Hotel and staff for the wonderful venue and the Pancakes,” President Noeleen said. The morning was a huge success and there was a surprise visit by Fianna Fail leader Micheal Martin and along with him TV cameras and the country’s national and local media. Their annual church gate collection takes place the first weekend of June and again all money goes to Soroptimist causes locally, nationally and internationally. The Soroptimists meet at The Gleneagle Hotel and one of their founder members was the late Sheila O’Donoghue of the hotel. The Killarney organisation includes women of all professions including founder member Elizabeth McCarthy, former manager of the Castlerosse Hotel.

Schools Get On Their Marks For Fitness Challenge YOUNG people will be putting their best foot forward for the AIB Schools Fitness Challenge this month. The event, in aid of the Killarney Micro Track Project, commences at 1pm sharp on April 20 and will proceed through Killarney National Park. It has the support of a number of sporting legends from Kerry GAA stars Colm Cooper and James O’Donoghue to World Student Games champion Thomas Barr. “Thomas, who competes in the 400m hurdles, is a real contender for the Olympics in Rio,” said organiser of the Schools Fitness Challenge and micro track committee member Jerry Griffin. Music and entertainment will be provided by Niall "Botty" O’Callaghan. Registration begins at 12.15 from the field in Knockreer next to the playground. “Each school will receive a framed photo of their participation with the stars,” said Jerry. “Primary school students will complete a 2k course while the secondary students will complete a 5k route.” The event is organised by Sean Coffey St Brendan's College, the community track group and Killarney Valley AC. “Last near 1000 school students arrived to meet their heroes in the beautiful Killarney National Park,” added Jerry.

update LUCASFILM, the company which produced Star Wars: The Force Awakens, has announced the start of its 2016 “Force for Change” charitable initiative – offering Star Wars fans the chance to win a grand prize of a trip to Ireland, sponsored by Tourism Ireland in New York. In a special video announcement, LucasFilm president Kathleen Kennedy and Star Wars legend Mark Hamill share the details of the latest “Force for Change” fundraising campaign. The short film includes details of the grand prize and footage of Skellig Michael – which Kathleen Kennedy describes as “the location of the dramatic final scene from The Force Awakens”. This film clip will be widely promoted across all the Star Wars owned platforms in the United States over the coming weeks (including on Twitter, to its 2.19 million followers), as well as by the four charities associated with “Force for Change”. An extensive PR and publicity push by LucasFilm is also helping to spread the word about the campaign – with the film already on the websites of USA Today, Entertainment Weekly, The Hollywood Reporter and BroadwayWorld.com. Niall Gibbons, CEO of Tourism Ireland, said: “We are delighted to be associated with Star Wars and its 2016 Force for Change campaign. Not only does the video showcase the magnificent scenery of Skellig Michael, it also highlights a truly worthwhile initiative and is a great way to support four different charities. “Star Wars: The Force Awakens has broken box office records around the world, bringing Skellig Michael and the Wild Atlantic Way to the attention of millions of people everywhere. Tourism Ireland has been taking every opportunity to capitalise on the publicity around the film, to help whet peoples’ appetites to come and visit,”he said.

Why Not Adopt A Woodland? SHOW your love for your area by joining the Adopt a Woodland scheme. The Killarney National Park Mountain Meitheal will be embarking on its next outing on Sunday, April 17, and it will be as part of this innovative project. The volunteers will be heading out to the Glaisin na Marbh for the second time. “We are the first group to take part in this new scheme,” said Johnny McGuire of Killarney National Park Mountain Meitheal. Some 15 volunteers have already been out in force as part of the scheme, under the leadership of Tim Cahalane who is contracted through the National Parks & Wildlife Service to help with rhododendron eradication. “Tim led us up the mountain to Glaisin na Marbh on our most recent outing where he

gave a practical demonstration of the methodology applied by the park in the control of rhododendron,” said Johnny. “Then under his guidance, we tackled clusters of rhododendron infestation in a section of this woodland area.” If you would like to join the outing taking place on Glaisin na Marbh on Sunday, April 17, take note that the group is meeting at 9am at Dinis car park. “Anybody interested in coming along needs to be fit and able for a hard day on the mountain,” added Johnny. Volunteers are also advised to bring a packed lunch. “Any group or individual interested in the Adopt a Woodland project in Killarney National Park should contact Tim Cahalane on 086-0740112 or Peter O’Toole 087-6781614.

MS Coffee Morning Brews Up Funds

TEMPTING treats and plenty of fun proved a heady brew for 500 big-hearted men, women and children who converged on the Killarney Royal Hotel on Saturday morning for the annual coffee morning in aid of the South Kerry branch of the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Ireland. Two local ladies, Ann Marie O’Leary and Tara O’Donoghue, put the kettle on for the event, in the process raising over €2,000 with money still coming in! Both have links with the local branch of MS Ireland. Ann Marie’s mother in-law, the late Mary O’Leary of Countess Road, and Tara’s mother, the late Maire O’Connor of Woodlawn Park, had multiple sclerosis. “The coffee morning is a small way of giving something back to a local organisation who do so much good work for the individuals and families burdened with this progressive debilitating disease,” said Ann Marie.

End Of An Era As Cronin's Shop Closes

LAST Wednesday saw Patrick and Gene Cronin lock the doors of their family-run business in Curtin’s Cross for the final time. Cronin’s Shop was a thriving business since February 1979. Its central location ensured it was always a first stop for many before heading for Killarney or after leaving the town. This is the end of an era as there was a shop at Curtin’s Cross for almost 70 years as Maggie Kelly, from Rathbeg, also had a business there prior to that. The Cronin family has long been associated with the Spa GAA Club as members, footballers and coaches and in relation to sponsorship. When Spa set up the club lotto, Patrick and Gene Cronin volunteered their services on the committee and the shop as a location to sell tickets. “As a result their shop was the largest selling outlet. No doubt we will miss the lads behind the counter with a friendly smile and chat when we pick up our usual errand,” said Anne Holland, Spa GAA Club. “We wish all the Cronins every good wish with their future endeavour and look forward to our continued association.”

She was also the winner of the Light Opera Perpetual Trophy – over 18 and the winner of the Mary McCarthy Memorial Perpetual Cup' for the best soprano performance. Not only that, but Laura was a silver medallist in the Operatic Perpetual Cup competition and finished in third place in the Lieder Perpetual Prize. A regular cantor in St Mary’s Cathedral, Killarney, Laura is also available to perform at weddings and funerals; call 086-3935262 or 085-2422159.

The songs guide us through the journey from the Irish in London in the Sixties and on through the issues and events that shocked and shaped us to the present day and what we have become,” said a spokesperson. Christy Moore: Journey will be screened on RTÉ 1 at 9.30pm on Sunday, April 10, and Monday, April 11.

Killarney sets the scene for wedding celebrations BY EVE KELLIHER THEIR paths first crossed while working in Killarney and 10 years later Caroline Moore and Martin Howley were back in town to tie the knot. Caroline, from Laois, and Galway native Martin exchanged vows in the Prince of Peace Church in Fossa where they were married by Fr John Lalor. They celebrations continued at the reception venue, the five-star Muckross Park Hotel. Killarney Golf & Fishing Club was just one of the scenic venues to provide a backdrop to the photographs taken for their wedding album by Micheál O’Sullivan. Both sets of parents, Marie and Finbarr Moore and Patricia and Tommy Howley, helped the couple plan their big day to perfection. Caroline’s sisters, Catherine, Deirdre and Jacqueline, lent their support as bridesmaids, as did the bride’s niece and flower girl Saoirse Rafferty. Martin’s friends Paul Joy, John Moran and Conor Bernie were his groomsmen. Martin popped the question on

Caroline’s birthday while walking on Howth Head and they described their wedding as the best day of their lives. “For anyone who is getting married, ensure you cherish each and every moment of the day as time flies far too fast!” said Martin. Caroline’s brother Kieran drove her to the church and the bride looked stunning in a gown she designed herself. Blooms, Killarney, took care of the floral arrangements and talented local band Truly Diverse and DJ Alan Finn kept the party going late into the night. The newlyweds jetted off to Spain after the wedding and will enjoy stage two of their honeymoon on holiday this summer. Caroline works inaviation Industry and Martin is Food and Beverage manager in Morrison Hotel, Dublin. They reside in Dublin.

Sun smiles down as preview opening of Killarne

Preview of Killarney’s answer to St Stephen’s Green THE Golden Gates swung open on Killarney House & Gardens on Sunday when thousands flocked to enjoy the ultimate in family days out. The eagerly anticipated special preview opening was designed to give locals the opportunity to enjoy the on-going restoration and re-creation of the gardens, which has been funded by the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht and Fáilte Ireland. The inside of the house itself will open a little later in the year but even at this early stage it is easy to see the enormous potential of this development. Strolling about in the sun-soaked gardens were a host of ladies in colourful Victorian attire. The Killarney Active Retired group along with Reverend Simon Lumby and Christel Nolke, as Lord and Lady Kenmare, certainly helped bring history alive. And, from the past to the present, Dermot Healy was flying overhead in his helicopter, affording award-wining Killarney photographer Valerie O’Sullivan a bird’s eye view of the house and gardens below, captured beautifully in her spectacular aerial shots. Killarney Chamber of Tourism & Commerce, in association with Kerry County Council, cooperating with local management of the National Parks & Wildlife Service, certainly pulled out all the stops for the event, with music, pageantry, activities and fun for all the family. Killarney Chamber president Kate O’Leary presented the guest speakers on the day who included National Parks & Wildlife Service regional manager Pat Dawson and Minister Jimmy Deenihan. “While we expected a few hundred to attend, we were blown away at the thousands who came along to see the results of our work to date and to enjoy the excellent programme of events organised by Killarney Chamber of Tourism & Commerce,” said Pat Dawson. The many features of the gardens were admired, including the Cherry Tree Walk, the Long Terrace Walk and the cherub statue. “We still have more planting to do in the Gardens and this work will continue from Monday through to Friday over the coming two months or so,” said Mr Dawson “The Gardens will be open from 9am to 6pm on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays for the time being and we would hope to be open seven days per week from July.” Thanking all who attended for the respect shown to volunteers and staff on duty, Mr Dawson added: “Compliance with our guidance in relation to having dogs on leads and refraining from cycling within the Gardens was very much appreciated and we hope that all visitors to the Gardens in the weeks, months and years ahead will cooperate with us to ensure that everyone can enjoy the Gardens in comfort and safety.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Irish Proclamation For Today IT IS admirable to note the many centenary celebrations in parishes up and down the country dedicated to our patriots. The idols of 1916 rising deserve our honour, respect and appreciation. Seán Mac Diarmada was the second signature on the proclamation of independence. He worked with the newspaper “Irish Freedom” and was only 33 years old when he was executed. A few years earlier Mac Diarmada contracted polio, which greatly weakened his strength on his left side and he had to walk with the aid of a walking stick. Because of his disability, Mac Diarmada was unable to fully engage with the fighting over Easter. He was however as a member of the Provisional Republican Government, stationed at the headquarters in the GPO. The Proclamation read by Padraig Pearse outside the GPO states that “the republic guarantees equal rights and equal opportunities to all its citizens.” It also states, Jackie Daly outside his garage business Killarney Autos in 1966, under the watchful eye of his dog Herald. Killarney Autos was situated in High Street where Killarney Carpet & Furniture Centre is today.

“cherishing all the children of the Nation equally". Now, 100 years later, what should this mean for our Irish citizens with a disability in our nation? For instance, as the Irish sign language is the primary language of the deaf community, this republic should give full recognition to it as the third language of our State. There is no official recognition of this Irish visual language despite calls to make Irish sign language the third official language in Ireland, after Irish and English. Other countries officially recognise their own indigenous sign language such as Iceland and Belgium. I’m sure Mac Diarmada as a revolutionary and a political activist would passionately welcome the establishment of a cabinet minister with full responsibility for disability inclusion in the next government. Tom Doherty, Killarney

‘Demolition of town councils has been the singular act of vandalism ever committed in this country’ IN RELATION to news that Ireland’s local councillors are to seek a 40% pay rise in the near future, I find it amazing that the Local Government Association of Councillors would be seeking such a raise when all that has changed for county councillors is that their area meetings, with anadditional few councillors, have become municipal meetings. The Local Government Association has some nerve. The excuse given for the demise of town councils, we were told, was to spare money. The fact is that town councils were the most efficient element of local government. If now the new municipal set-up is too much work for elected representa-

tives, might I suggest that our town councils would be replaced? If the body representing local councillors was doing its job for local governance it should be calling for the restoration of town councils. But then it negotiated an amalgamation of the bodies and sold town councils down the Swanee. The demolition of town councils has been the singular act of vandalism ever committed in this country and all involved should hang their heads in shame. A town without a council is not a town. Sean Counihan, Killarney

Top Marks For Kerry Bathing Waters KERRY’S bathing waters got a clean bill of health from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) this week. The county is one of only three local authority areas in the country where all designated bathing areas achieved “excellent’” status. Kerry County Council has welcomed the findings of the new report from the Environmental Protection Agency, which noted: “All of Kerry County Council identified bathing waters continue to be of excellent quality.” The report found that 15 beaches which were surveyed had maintained their standards from the previous year. These are: Baile an Sceilig; Ballybunion North; Ballybunion South; Ballyheigue; Banna Strand; Castlegregory; Doire Fhíonáin; Fenit; Fionntrá; Inch; Kells; Maharabeg; Rossbeigh, White Strand; Inny Strand, Waterville; and White Strand, Caherciveen. The chief executive of Kerry County Council, Moira Murrell, warmly welcomed the EPA report saying

the findings were testament to the hard work of council staff and local community groups and residents in maintaining our beaches. “This is great news for Kerry at the beginning of another tourist season and will allow the county to continue to attract visitors and local alike to our beaches as an amenity for recreational use,” said Ms Murrell. “I want to pay tribute to the staff of Kerry County Council who work to maintain our beaches to such a high standard. This effort is supplemented by the local residents and community groups who clean up areas along our coasts and maintain them. “As the EPA says, good quality bathing water is a highly desirable natural resource for recreational use as well as being an important economic factor for tourism. This is wonderful news for a county which treasures its tourism industry, its local amenities and its reputation for environmental protection and cleanliness.”

Although I think that this legend actually relates to a similarly named formation in Surrey, it is no less gripping. What passed me by, I must admit, was the term Helles. It turns out

that this is not a reference to the underworld but rather a particular type of pale lager. Helles lager was first produced by the Spaten brewery in Munich in 1894 and was used differentiate the beer from darker versions (Dunkelbier). Today the Helles style dominates the mainstream beer market but to be truly appreciated you really have to try some of the higher quality incarnations.

Last Week’s Sudoku answers

TIME FOR A TIPPLE

2 medium carrots 3 sticks of celery 1 tbsp tomato puree 2 cloves of garlic 4 sprigs of fresh thyme 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary 1 cup red wine 1 litre chicken stock

Killarney Brewing’s offering is a great start. So too is the Greek beer Mythos and the ever popular Polish lager Lech. Also worth trying is the craft lager from Brú which is currently on offer at four for €10 with the rest of the Brú and Kenmare ranges. This Czech-style Lager (the original Spaten was itself influenced by Czech Pilsners) is full bodied and crisp. A lager as it should be.

METHOD Finely chop herbs, garlic, bay leaf and mix with sea salt and olive oil. Massage mix over lamb and tie with string. Preheat oven to 250 degrees C, place shoulder in roasting tray and cook for 15 minutes. Turn over and add chopped veg. When golden add tomato puree and herbs, pour in the red wine and chicken stock and turn heat down

to 125 degrees C. Turn every 30-45 minutes. It usually takes around three to four and a half hours to braise till it is tender. Remove string, cover meat with tinfoil and a tea towel and rest for 10 minutes. Strain liquid and reduce slightly. Place on a warm serving dish and pour the hot sauce over it.

WHAT IS REFLEXOLOGY? Reflexology is a gentle therapy that encourages the body to work naturally to restore its own healthy balance, says Jill Duggan of Killarney Toning & Beauty Studio

REFLEXOLOGY is the technique of applying gentle pressure to the reflexes (pressure points) on the feet or hands to clear the vital energy pathways that can become blocked due to the stresses and strains of modern day life. The hands and feet are like mirror images of the body, with various points on the feet representing different structures and organs in the body. A treatment involves the therapist applying gentle yet firm pressure to these points along with stretching and massage release blockages and break up patterns of stress, restoring balance and relieving tension.

it is well worth checking out.

Conditions that can benefit from reflexology treatment include women’s health, urinary tract infections, migraine, PMT bloating/fluid retention, acne, allergies, sinusitis, hay fever, eczema, psoriasis, digestive problems, irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, stress-related conditions, insomnia, disturbed sleep patterns and anxiety. To make your appointments, contact Killarney Toning & Beauty Studio on 064-6632966.

Laura shares her passion for fashion A LOVE for writing and an obsession with style prompted Laura Mac Sweeney to set up her own fashion and lifestyle blog at the start of the year. The Killarney native, who spent five years working in London in the creative sector, returned to the town in 2014 and has since been working in retail as a brand manager. Laura’s blog focuses on fashion and style whilst also concentrating on lifestyle and current topics.

Laura describes her style as being completely versatile: "I love the adventures that fashion can take you on, whether it's a dress from a charity shop or a high end fashion designer, it's up to each individual to make it their own and tell their own style story with each piece they wear," she said. Tune in to these pages next week when Laura will be featuring some local fashion and style for spring/ summer weddings.

Reflexology treatments can also improve a patient’s circulation and elimination – two very important factors in maintaining good health and well-being.

At Killarney Toning & Beauty Studio, reflexology treatments are covered under VHI, Laya Healthcare and Aviva. Some clients receive up to 12 sessions completely covered by insurance, or six sessions covered. It completely depends on what package you are on and

Icon’s pilgrimage from Rome to Kerry

THE Our Lady of Perpetual Help icon visited St Mary’s Cathedral on Wednesday and Thursday this week. The icon’s pilgrimage to Roman Catholic Cathedrals in Ireland commenced in Limerick on Monday after the Pilgrim Icon was blessed by Pope Francis in Rome on Holy Thursday and taken back to Ireland by the Irish Redemptorists the following day. This pilgrimage is being organised by the Redemptorist order in conjunction with all 26 Cathedrals and celebrates the 150th anniversary of the devotion to Our Lady of Perpetual Help and its custodianship by the Redemptorists during this time. On the icon’s arrival at St Mary’s Cathedral on Wednesday a Mass of Welcome was celebrated by Bishop of Kerry Ray Browne at 6.15pm. After that the faithful had the chance to venerate the icon with petition writing opportunities also available. A healing service took at 8pm followed by prayer. Yesterday, Thursday, Mass at 7am was followed at 9.15am by a prayer service for secondary school children and Mass at 10.30am. The Sacrament of Reconciliation was available afterwards. From Killarney, the icon travels to Cobh. The original “Mother of Perpetual Help” icon was presented to the Redemptorists in Rome by Pope Pius IX in 1865. It was installed in the Church of St Alphonsus Liguori in 1866 and one of the first copies of the icon was received at the Redemptorists Mount St Alphonsus Monastery in Limerick in 1867. The devotion to our “Mother of Perpetual Help” quickly spread to all parts of Ireland and continues to be an important part of the lives of many Irish people and others all around the world; see www.followtheicon. ie for updates.

Life through the Lens of the gospels JOHN 21:1-19: The disciples spend a fruitless night fishing and catching nothing. Things change dramatically when Jesus appears and invites them to try again. Remember those who came to you and encouraged you to try again when you felt discouraged. Perhaps on some of these occasions the results were beyond your expectations. The story can serve as a reminder that sometimes we are wasting our time if we try to work on our own without the Lord’s help. When have you found that your work or life was more fruitful when you acknowledged that you needed God’s help and you spoke to God about your need? Peter is given the chance to be fully reconciled with his Master after his denial during the Passion. Remember those who have given you an opportunity for reconciliation after you had hurt them or let them down. What was it like for you to be given this chance? To whom have you offered the possibility of reconciliation? John Byrne OSA

3D BROWS – SEMI-PERMANENT EYEBROW EMBROIDERY AT ORCHID DAY SPA ORCHID DAY SPA is delighted to announce its latest treatment – a first in Killarney! What is it? 3D Brow Eyebrow Embroidery is a semi-permanent treatment that lasts at least two years and allows you to have perfect full brows 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. How does it work? Your technician (Moolan) will have a consultation with you, and together you will decide on the optimal solution, customised for your face, your brows. Then she will create your fully natural looking brows with fully realistic hair strokes using a Microblading pen, with colours to match your natural look. This can be compared to tattooing but it is on the dermal layer, so 3D Brows look much more natural than regular tattooed eyebrows, which tend to fade badly and look unnatural. How long does the procedure take? Your initial session will take between one and two hours. You will need to return for a top-up treatment within four weeks (free of charge). For the first day or two the brows will look stronger, after this they will fade slightly and look perfectly natural. The top-up treatment allows refinement and finishing of your new fabulous brows.

Killarney Advertiser 27.03.15 08.04.16

Does it hurt? A topical anaesthetic will be applied to the area of skin. Most people feel nothing at all, but some people experience a feeling similar to a light pinch. How much does it cost? The initial session costs €300. Top-ups within four weeks are free. A top up within two years will cost €180. After two years the price will be €300. The money saved on tinting will quickly pay for the cost of the treatment! Who does this treatment benefit? 3D Brows are perfect for anyone that currently uses an eyebrow pencil for shaping, or tinting. It’s particularly beneficial for anybody who has very light eyebrows from over plucking, alopecia, or loss of hair, including from chemotherapy. This treatment is only available by appointment. Call the spa to arrange a free no obligation consultation today, 064-6627462 or email info@orchiddayspa.ie or check out orchiddayspa.ie or follow Orchid Day Spa Facebook.

Make Run Killarney your summer goal

TIPS TO GET YOU RUNNING FIRST of all, set a goal – whether it is a 5k race/10k race or simply getting up to running a specific distance you’ll make things a lot easier for yourself if you have a finish line in sight! Make sure you have the appropriate equipment/footwear. Nothing more likely to cause injury/

discomfort than this. Try training with other people/ clubs. This can be a great way to improve your enjoyment of running, as well as acting as a way of trying to improve by testing yourself against other people. Many clubs now cater for all category of runner, from beginner to

competitive. Mix your running surfaces. Too much running on one surface can lead to repetitive strain injuries so where possible vary between road/grass/trail/path/ treadmill.

A WEEKLY ROUND-UP OF NEWS +

OUR CONFUSING ATTITUDE TO TAX THERE has been a surge in direct and stealth taxes over the past decade yet services and infrastructure have most certainly not advanced accordingly. Are the funds being spent effectively and efficiently? Despite the taxes being collected, there has been an abysmally slow rollout of high-speed broadband, for instance. Main roads across Kerry are frequently not fit for purpose despite the fact that we pay excessive car tax. Indications that returning emigrants may now be offered a tax incentive if they were to return to employment in Ireland, are all fine and well but why are all the tax payers who were burdened with enforced, new and increased existing taxes during the recession being overlooked and disregarded? Why isn’t there a tax incentive being implemented for the tax payers who stayed, worked and sacrificed all to bail the country out? Ireland has restrictive tax bands which do not allow people with low and middle incomes to grow financially. In a wider context, it dovetails with the perpetuation of the wealth divide. We are all concerned about this inequality, yet do we question the fact that multinationals pay much less tax than most individuals? It’s an issue that is rarely publicly debated and the corporate tax regime appears to be supported by Irish voters.

The Irish tax structure pioneered in the 1980s – abolished in the 2014 budget – was designed to allow firms to minimise their tax bill. Corporate tax avoidance was an issue on the doorsteps during the 2014 European elections in countries such as Austria, Germany and Finland, as citizens got fed up with being asked to pay more taxes while multinationals were helped to cut their tax bills. In Ireland, left-wing politicians protest about water charges but will mount no serious challenges to the corporate tax regime. But then again, the jobs provided by multinationals could be why many have an ambiguous attitude to this facet of our tax system.

CLIMBING TREES, NOT WALLS... Three-quarters of UK children spend less time outside than prison inmates, according to a new survey revealing the extent to which time playing in parks, wood and fields has shrunk. A fifth of the children did not play outside at all on an average day, the poll found. Experts warn that active play is essential to the health and development of children, but parents’ fears, lack of green spaces and the lure of digital technology is leading youngsters to lead enclosed lives. Most of the parents polled said their children have fewer opportunities to play outside than they did when young. The new research is strongly supported by previous work; including a government report in February that found more than one in nine children had not set foot in a park, forest, beach or any other natural environment for at least a year. “The truth is we are enclosing our children,” said Mark Sears, at The Wild Network, which works to increase wild play. “We are stifling their ability to be free, to be at their best as children and it is having significant impacts.” He said increasing obesity and lower mental wellbeing in children was linked to a lack of physical activity. Last week, UK Environment Secretary Liz Truss announced that every schoolchild will have the opportunity to visit a national park, noting that only 10% currently have access to outdoor learning. “I want every child to know the joy and wonder of the great outdoors,” she said recently. “Our children should be climbing trees, not the walls.” The plan is part of a government campaign expected later this year that will aim to connect children with nature and the environment. The new survey questioned a nationally representative sample of 2,000 parents of 5-12 year olds and found 74% of children spent less than 60 minutes playing outside each day. UN guidelines for prisoners require “at least one hour of suitable exercise in the open air daily”. The poll also found children spent twice as long playing on screens as playing outside. It was funded by Persil, as part of the detergent brand’s Dirt is Good campaign. “Academic research shows that active play is the natural and primary way that children learn,” said Sir Ken Robinson, an educationalist and advisor to Unilever, which makes Persil. “It is essential to their healthy growth and progress, particularly during periods of rapid brain development. We must place adequate importance on play now, so that our precious children grow up into successful, well-rounded and happy adults.” Sears said: “Parents see the value of outdoor play and still it doesn’t happen. Outdoor time is shrinking. It is a gigantic paradox.” He said fear of strangers, traffic or accidents deterred parents from allowing children to play outside, as did lack of time due to busy school and work lives. “It’s time we gave parents the tools, skills and confidence to do the things that they know are good for their children.” A separate study from the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT), published earlier in March, found that children from poorer backgrounds were less interested in being outdoors in nature than better-off children. But WWT found this difference was overcome after just one day spent learning outside.“Young kids that learn and play outside get direct experience of weather and the seasons and wildlife – things that are only possible outdoors – and they get to assess risks, solve problems and develop creativity,” said Lucy Hellier, WWT Learning Project Manager. “The benefits may seem obvious, but in reality many children don’t get to be outdoors in a natural environment in any regular or meaningful way. And that’s even more common among kids from deprived areas.” In 2013, the RSPB published a three-year study, which concluded that four out of five children in the UK were not adequately “connected to nature”. In 2012, a National Trust report called Natural Childhood revealed the growing gap between children and nature. Less than one in 10 children regularly played in wild spaces, it said, compared to half of children a generation ago.

Clock thieves apologise to owners of Dick Mack’s THE people responsible for removing a valuable clock from the wall of Dick Mack’s pub in Dingle have come forward to apologise for their actions. Dick Mack's clock was returned on Tuesday, not too far from where it was originally taken. The clock, which dates back to the late 1800s, turned up at the back of Curran’s Yard in the town on Tuesday afternoon, having been taken from the pub late on Saturday night. Massive social media coverage of the stolen family heirloom resulted in those responsible coming forward and owning up to their actions. According to the Dick Mack’s Facebook page, they’ve also agreed to pay for any damage to the timepiece. The clock was originally acquired by Tom McDonnell, grandfather of the current owners, when he worked as station master of the Dingle Railway.

VIEWS FROM KERRY AND AROUND THE WORLD SKIN CRAFT Scientists in Japan have successfully transplanted mice with lab-grown skin that has more of the organ's working parts in place than ever before. Starting with stem cells made from a mouse's gums, they managed to craft skin with multiple layers - as well as hair follicles and sweat glands. When implanted into a "nude mouse" with a suppressed immune system, it integrated well and sprouted hairs. Researchers say this success will take 5-10 years to translate into humans. But eventually, the team hopes their system will lead to perfectly functioning skin that can be grown from the cells of burns victims and transplanted back on to them. This would be vastly superior to the culturing and grafting techniques that are currently available, which produce skin without many of the biological components and functionality that we are used to. The technique could also be adapted to manufacture realistic skin samples that drug or cosmetics companies could use to test their products - instead of using animals. The findings, reported in the journal Science Advances, have been greeted with enthusiasm by other scientists working in this field. Takashi Tsuji is the paper's senior author. He said the dream of re-growing personalised organs was beginning to materialise: "Up until now, artificial skin development has been hampered by the fact that the skin lacked the important organs, such as hair follicles and exocrine glands, which allow the skin to play its important role in regulation. With this new technique, we have successfully grown skin that replicates the function of normal tissue. We are coming ever closer to the dream of being able to recreate actual organs in the lab for transplantation." Dr Tsuji, from the Riken Centre for Developmental Biology in Kobe, conducted the research with colleagues in Tokyo, Sagamihara and Sendai. They began their experiments by taking cells from the gums of a mouse and converting them into "induced pluripotent stem cells" or iPSCs. This is a popular and promising technique in stem cell research, discovered in 2006, which bathes the cells in chemicals to "wind back the clock". The resulting cells, like those of an embryo, can divide again and again, and be guided down many developmental pathways to become nearly any type of cell in the body. The team's real achievement was in coaxing these cells to form the different layers and structures of deeply layered skin - the "integumentary organ" that protects our bodies, senses touch, regulates heat and does myriad other jobs as well. John McGrath, a Professor of Molecular Dermatology at King's College London, said this study was one that researchers in his field had been looking out for - and it was a substantial step forward. He told BBC News that the new system took us "over the halfway mark" towards growing functional skin for human patients - where previous efforts had stumbled at much earlier stages. "It's recapitulating normal skin architecture," Prof McGrath said. "So rather than having isolated bits of skin... here we've actually got a whole box of stuff.” And that means there is hope, he added, for lifelike, lab-grown skin. "[Today's skin grafts] function, but they don't really look like or behave like skin. If you don't have the hair follicles and you don't have the sweat glands and things, it's not going to function as skin." Prof McGrath also said that many other laboratories would now be trying to reproduce these findings - and to adapt them for different purposes, such as recreating skin diseases in a dish and trying out treatments. "There will be lots of benefits for immediate use, as well as for translational science," he said.

Michaella McCollum tipped for Big Brother BOOKIES are giving odds that Michaella McCollum is set to be the next big reality TV star. The Tyrone model and dancer, who was convicted of drug smuggling in Peru, has been tipped to star in Big Brother, I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here and Come Dine With Me. Paddy Power are giving 7/1 odds of Michaella McCollum entering the Celebrity Big Brother house, with 10/1 odds of her appearing on Come Dine With Me and 16/1 of her entering in the I’m A Celeb jungle. Not only are the bookies taking bets on what shows she will be on, they are also taking bets on who could play Michaella on a big screen, if her story gets turned into a movie. The news comes after hundreds of viewers took to Twitter to comment on Michaella’s interview on RTE.

Panama vows change after offshore leaks PANAMA is creating an international panel to help improve transparency in its offshore financial industry. The move follows the leak of millions of documents from law firm Mossack Fonseca, showing it helped some clients evade tax and avoid sanctions. Several countries are probing possible financial crimes by the rich and powerful in the aftermath of the leak. President Juan Carlos Varela said Panama would work with other countries over the revelations. "The Panamanian government, via our foreign ministry, will create an independent commission of domestic and international experts," he said in a televised address. The panel, he said, would examine working practices and propose measures that could be shared to strengthen the transparency of the financial and legal systems. Correspondents say the president is eager to defend his country against a "media attack" by wealthy countries that he says are unfairly stigmatising him following the leak. Mossack Fonseca, for its part, says that it has been the victim of a hack.

A REAL match-day performance ensured Kerry was perfectly pitched when it came to ensuring the county’s highways and byways were in All-Ireland winning form at the weekend. Kerry legend Colm Cooper led the team out for the fifth annual Kerry County Clean-up Day, which is facilitated by KWD Recycling with the help of Kerry County Council, Killarney Looking Good/Killarney Tidy Towns and tidy town committees across the county. Some 3,500 hard-working volunteers took part, filling 15,000 signature red bags, supplied by KWD Recycling, on Saturday. KWD Recycling began the mammoth task of collecting all the bags from the different pick-up points around the county on Monday. “Colm was on hand to kick off the Killarney leg of the litter pick bright and early Saturday morning with members of KWD Recycling, Killarney Chamber of Tourism & Commerce and Tidy Towns members,” said Noel O’Reilly of KWD Recycling. “Other tidy towns and voluntary groups all over Kerry had similar turnouts starting at different times throughout the day.” Mounds of bags sprang up on roadsides during the day and the benefits of the clean-up were immediately noticeable with cleaner and greener roads. “One of the most noticeable contributors to litter along the roads this year was plastic drinks bottles, drinks cans and tea/coffee cups which were constantly strewn all along our roads,” said Noel. The organisers appealed to all to be conscious of how we dispose of our waste when driving, ensuring it is disposed of at home and not along our roads. “The organisers wish to take this opportunity to thank the 3500 volunteers who participated,” said Noel. Killarney Chamber of Tourism & Commerce President Kate O’Leary congratulated all involved. “I would like to thank Kerry County Council, KWD Recycling and all the volunteers,” she said. “Kerry County Clean-Up Day is of vital importance. Colm Cooper went above and beyond the call of duty and played a blinder in promoting our fifth annual clean-up.”

PROPOSAL TO CREATE ADDITIONAL HOUSING UNITS KERRY Fine Gael TD Brendan Griffin has outlined a proposed new scheme, which he has devised to help free up additional housing units. Speaking in the Dáil, Deputy Griffin outlined his Rental Renovation Scheme, which would see property owners grant aided to bring uninhabitable properties up to habitable standard on condition that the property would then be available to local authorities free of rent for a period equivalent to the value of the grant. The tenant would remain in situ for an agreed period thereafter when the owner would also start receiving rent. Deputy Griffin says that there are thousands of units all over rural and urban Ireland that would fit this category, including old shop units in village and town centres that could be converted to residential use. “It would benefit the tenant, who would have secure, affordable accommodation, it would benefit the owner, given that what was a rotting house would be made habitable and, in a few years' time, would start generating rent, it would benefit the localities because what was a derelict house would look well and have people living there, it would benefit builders by creating employment and it would benefit the State and local authorities, which would house

Deputy Brendan Griffin.

people on their housing lists,” said Deputy Griffin. In a subsequent response to a Written Dáil Question on the proposed scheme, Deputy Griffin was told that the proposal is currently under consideration. Deputy Griffin said that he is open to changes to the proposed scheme if needed but insisted that there is room for such a scheme as a cog in a very large wheel of measures to address the housing shortage. Deputy Griffin also reiterated his long held view that the rate of VAT for residential construction activity must be reduced to 9%.

THE BEST CAR APRIL FOOLS

THE car industry is never short of ideas for April 1 with some manufacturers going to great lengths to raise a smile and this year has been no different. Here are two.

A brolly good idea from Skoda

SKODA made no bones about its April Fool offering - as part of its Simply Clever range of options it is offering a doggy umbrella. Developed by Professor Al Sayshon in Skoda’s home in the Czech Republic, the umbrella attaches to a conventional lead and gives, says the company, a unique ‘paws-free’ operation. Škoda project leader Dr Jacques Rustle said: “We’re delighted to bring this new dog umbrella to the UK market first. “British rain is officially the wettest in the world, so we knew this accessory would have big appeal with owners in the UK. “During development, we captured large quantities of British rain and brought it back to our workshop in the Czech Republic before signing the design off.”

Vauxhall's Adam C

JUST for fun Vauxhall came up with the new Adam C the world’s first full-sized production kinetic car. The mechanism is not too far removed from that found in children’s wind-up toys, it said. (The C stands for clockwork). Vauxhall says after incredibly secretive research it has ditched the engine, fuel tank and battery and replaced them with simple, yet innovative wind-up technology that propels the vehicle. The result is zero running costs and no damage to the environment and all, says Vauxhall, without compromising performance. It said: “All you need is manpower. Just fifteen minutes fully powers the vehicle and connects everything from the acceleration to six-speaker sound system. “And because the new model achieves an operating range of up to 125 miles on one full wind-up, it’s as perfect for city driving, as it is for longer journeys. “In terms of efficiency and sustainability it’s a no brainer.” It went on: “Better still, for the health and fitness fans among us, winding the clockwork mechanism burns serious calories. The rotating motion offers an incredible cardio and strength workout. By exercising your chest, shoulders, arms and core muscles, a 65kg person can expect to burn over 400 calories in just 15 minutes of winding. “When the 15 minutes are up, a buzzer sounds and a voice announces: “End of wind-up!”

Nissan Qashqai first to get firm’s autonomous tech NISSAN has announced its small Qashqai SUV will come equipped with its state-of-the-art Piloted Drive 1.0 technology before any other of its models. The new semi-autonomous tech is said to steer, avoid hazards, brake and maintain a safe gap between other vehicles at up to motorway speeds. Later on in 2018, the Piloted Drive self-drive technology will be upgraded to automatically change lanes and avoid hazards while driving on the motorway. In 2020 the next-generation version of the semi-autonomous tech will be introduced, allowing Nissan cars to navigate junctions and urban areas all on autopilot. Initially, the Piloted Drive-equipped Qashqai will be available later this year in the Japanese domestic market before it is introduced in other global markets in 2017. It’s not yet known whether Nissan plans to offer the new self-drive tech as an option or whether he Pilot Drive 1.0 will be incorporated to a new high-spec Qashqai trim.

Killarney students enjoy trip of a lifetime to Shanghai By Ciara Carroll, transition-year student, Brigid’s Secondary School OVER the Easter Break, 15 lucky students from both St. Brigid’s Secondary School and St Brendan’s College were given the opportunity to attend a two-week long Easter Chinese language camp in Shanghai University. St Brendan’s was given 10 places and we were given 5. The places were decided through a raffle between the people who had interest in going. The first five names who were picked out of the hat were Laura Corlett, Aoife Kelliher, Caitlin Kerin, Claire O’Leary and myself, Ciara Carroll. We were ecstatic when we received the news. As we were attending the camp, we also entered a ‘Chinese Bridge’ competition which was developed so that China and Ireland can strengthen their relationship. The competition included a one-minute introduction and a five-minute talent show, both to be spoken in Chinese. Qi Qi, our Chinese teacher, was kind enough to help us with both the speeches and talents. Our group read an ancient poem and the boys sang “If you’re happy and you know it” in Chinese. Some of the acts were incredibly talented as some actually had lived in China for quite some time. Afterwards we had a break which was followed by a quiz on Chinese culture. The day was great and was fantastic experience for us all. On March 17, we were ready to depart from Cork Airport to Shanghai. The boys went from Cork to London for their layover and we went from Cork to Amsterdam. We then met up in Shanghai where we went for a welcome dinner. Over the next two weeks, we attended Chinese class-

es and lectures to expand our knowledge on China, its language and its culture. Our Chinese teacher, Panda, told us that on our last day we would be taking a test that would examine us in what we had learned the past two weeks. I will admit, the classes were very difficult as they lasted from either one hour and forty minutes to three hours. Saying that, they were still very enjoyable. The lectures would be two hours long and covered different topics such as Chinese culture, history and economics. We learned many new things that helped us in our everyday lives there. We had one class and lecture a day unless we were to go on a day trip. These day trips included visiting the Ancient Water City, the West Lake in Hangzou and the Oriental Pearl TV Tower.

The culture there is quite different to the culture here in Ireland. The main difference would have to be the food in my opinion. The food there is cooked in a different oil so it is actually very healthy. We all tried a various number of interesting foods such as dumplings, sushi and calamari. We also went to Nanjing road which was the New York of Shanghai. The lights and shops were mesmerising. Overall, our trip to Shanghai was simply amazing. I would go back there in a heartbeat. Everyone made so many new friends and learned so much about the beautiful country of China.

Glenflesk Rambling House makes a splash for water rescue team THE community of Glenflesk will never forget the wonderful work done by volunteers from Killarney Water Rescue when the area was hit by serious flooding last December. The residents hosted a hugely successful rambling house on Easter Sunday in Glenflesk GAA Hall to boost the coffers of the organisation. Rambling House organiser Neilie Moynihan likened the volunteers to the heroes of a cowboy film. “It reminded me of the way you’d see the cavalry coming over the hill to the rescue,” Neilie told the Killarney Advertiser. “The volunteers were so professional and so caring.”

For nothing loved is ever lost And he was loved so much. Sadly missed by your loving wife Breeda.

Gneeveguilla Basketball Club

The Boys Primary School Basketball Tournament was held in Duagh on Wednesday 30/03/2016. The Gneeveguilla club was represented by Paudie O’Leary, Ross O’Leary, Dara Fitzgerald, Ciaran Cremin, Liam Brosnan, Sean Finnegan, Sean Hurley, Mark Fitzgerald, Dylan O’Riordan and Ryan Daly. In the group stage, our first game was against Tralee Imperials winning 24-8. Our second game was against Titans of Galway City. This team was a strong physical team with Gneeveguilla narrowly losing by a basket. We played T.K. Vixens in our last game winning comfortably on a score of 33-21. Having come second to Titans in our group, we came up against Corrib of Galway in the semi-final. Fighting hard, we won this game by a basket. In the other semi-final - Titans beat Duagh. So it was a replay of the group game - Titans V Gneeveguilla in the final. Gneeveguilla went down 8-0 in the 1st quarter. Our boys rallied well and brought it back to 19-12 at the end of the 3rd quarter. In the last quarter the Gneeveguilla boys fought like tigers winning the fast breaks and even though Titans were physically a much taller & stronger side, we managed to win by a single point from a buzzer beater from Ross O’Leary. All boys played their hearts out & dug deep when needed in what was a great team performance. Well done to all the boys and those who helped on the day. Thanks to the parents as well who travelled to Duagh to support the boys in what was a win to remember. A great day out. Also congratulations to our local Rathmore/Gneeveguilla U13 Basketball teams who competed in the Community Games County finals over the weekend. The Girls team won a bronze on Saturday and the boys won a silver on Sunday.

This was only for the third time, in the history of this famed football academy, that the “Sem” have been victorious in this championship. The previous winning teams from 1969 and 1992 went on to give the Kerry Jersey many of its most illustrious players, including John O’Keeffe, Ger O’Keeffe, Paudie Lynch, Paud O’Mahony, Seamus

Moynihan, etc. Liam added that Killarney Golf and Fishing Club through their members and extended families have a large number of the “Sem” team and their mentors as members, and extends his best wishes to them in bringing the Hogan Cup back to Killarney. Liam also wishes to commend the performance of the Club’s Junior Boys foursomes team who took part in the Kerry section of that competition on Saturday last at Tralee Golf Links, our lads came in third place, and just narrowly missed out in a place in the play-offs, well done to those who took part, and also to their mentors, Ned Brosnan, and John Curtin who continue to play a huge role in continuing to promote Junior Golf on behalf of our Club. Single stableford competition Mahony’s point, 3/04/2016. 1st Denny Lyons (9) with 45 points, 2nd Tim O’Keeffe (20) with 43 points, 3rd Matthew Leacy (5) with 42 points, 4th Greg Lanigan (5) with 42 points, 5th Stephen O’Brien (16) with 42 points Category 1 Eugene O’Sullivan (5) with 41 points Category 2 Conor McNiece (7) with 41 points Category 3 Sean Casey (13) with 42 points Category 4 Liam Daly (20) with 40 points. There was a massive entry of almost 160 competitors for this ever popular Golfer of the Year qualifying competition, and the very favourable weather conditions lent their assistance to the 17 players who scored 40 points or more and broke the standard scratch mark of 39 points. Denny Lyons who was a very worthy winner by two clear shots had a magnificent back nine of 25 points which included 3 four pointers, Tim O’Keeffe who was in second place had an almost equally impressive front nine of 24 points. Denny, by virtue of his win goes on to represent our Club in the Irish Open” Pro-Am qualifier which will be played at Dooks Golf Links on Monday the 25th of April next, when he will be partnered by Breda Duggan, who was the Ladies Club winner of their corresponding competition, they will make a very formidable partnership, and their tee time has been scheduled for 10.40am there that day when teams from all over the Country will be vying for a slot in this most prestigious of Pro-Am’s in the golfing calendar. Men’s Club competition Sunday 10th of April on Killeen. The next Men’s Club competition will be on Sunday next the 10th of April and will be a single’s stableford competition.

Cormac Flannery Club Secretary Manager presented the third of his Club up-date question and answer session at the Club, Cormac addressed those who attended who were, once again few in number, but they never-the-less played their part in a lively debate, many Club topics were discussed, but the most interesting topic was in relation to the re-jigged new nine hole course on Lackabane, and a further proposal will be forthcoming in relation to same. Cormac’s presentation was followed by the prize presentation to all of our recent prize winners, it is planned that these information evenings will be coupled with prize presentations for the foreseeable future, with the next one planned for the 29th of April.

It was a fitting date as fools day is a day for outwitting each other, and that is just what the The Tatler Jack and Lals OutCasts tried to do in the Group 1 final in Mustang Sally’s. This was a clash of the Titans if ever there was to be one in the town league. Lals OutCasts team entered the league this year with 7 players from the Kerry County Darts team and local boys The Tatler having only 3 County players. This was probably the first time ever the Tatler were the underdogs in any final that they ever played. This final was each leg counted, so first to 14 were the victors. After the singles it was 10 - 8 to Lals OutCasts. Tatler took the 5 legs of the first two double games, score now was Tatler 13 - Lals 11. Last doubles game saw Lals take the first 2 legs, now at 13 all, it was down to the final game. Lals Richie O’Connor had a shot at 56 to win, but missed and left double 10 for Dale McCarthy. Tatlers Neill O’Donoghue had 104, hitting treble 20 with the first dart, 8 with the second, paused and confirmed what he had left with the chalker, moved along the Oche and took out double 18 to take the victory for the Tatler Jack. Final score Tatler 14 - Lals OutCasts 13. MVP was Leonard Fitzgerald and group 1 Highest finish was Kevin McCann (150). The Committee would like to congratulate the Tatler, and hard luck to Lals OutCasts, we’re sure ye will be back. The Committee would also like to thank the following, our sponsors. Also Congratulations to Paul Cronin on his recent appointment as Chairman of The Kerry Darts Association.

Killarney Salmon & Trout Angling Club

Firstly due to the unforeseen weather conditions locally in the Caragh Lake catchment last weekend, we were notified at the weekend that the competition could not go ahead owing to flooding. We are presently trying to establish a new date and will update once this has been set. Entry has now closed for the Munster Lake Competition and we are proud to have seven competitors taking part this year and wish them tight lines for the competition on May 8th on Lough Lein. Also on Lough Lein and over on the Brown Island to be exact, we have been informed by Park Rangers that a pair of sea eagles have commenced nesting this is another milestone development on this wonderful project and no doubt anglers will be witnessing their flights in that vicinity presently and in coming weeks . However to minimize disturbance to the nesting pair and hopefully a further generation of sea eagles, Anglers and Boatmen are asked to avoid landing on the Brown Island for the coming period, to give this pair of potential parents their own undisturbed space and thus minimizing the risk of them abandoning the nest. Given that we are early in the angling season and with sufficient other attractive landing locations, I’m sure anglers and lake users alike won’t mind this temporary alteration and will be looking forward to witnessing the fledgling flight of a Brown Island Eagle over the lake this year.

SPA IS CREAM OF THE CROP SPA GAA CLUB celebrated 12 All-Ireland medals both on and off the field at the weekend. First off, in Croke Park the Sem team won the Hogan Cup in sensational style. Four players from the club contributed to the victory with David Carroll pulling off great saves and saving a penalty in a vital moment of the game. Evan Cronin scored a point and passed the ball to man of the match David Clifford scoring a goal to bring the Sem in with a chance. David Spillane, when introduced, was outstanding in defence. Special mention to Dara Moynihan as written in the history books personified a true Gaelic player. His performance was one of his best throughout the match. He opened and finished St Brendan’s scoring

sheet. He defended, he scored and he tackled with his neversay-die attitude. The second All-Ireland was announced in the INEC later that day when Spa won another GAA All Ireland in the form of Scór Sinsear Rince Foirne. The auditorium erupted with jubilation when our figure dancers collected their medals from president of the GAA Aogan O Fearghail. Spa was the sole Munster winner on the night under the club’s cultural leader Sheila McCarthy. The record-winning team were Ciara O’Shea, Katie O’Connor, Clare Moynihan, Sinead Cronin, Trish Murphy, Fiona Kelly, Mairéad Mangan and Anne Marie Nelligan. They were expertly coached by Triona Mangan and Maureen Hegarty Vogels.

Kerry take on Roscommon in Allianz League semi-finals after victory over Cork KERRY advanced to the semi-finals of the Allianz League and a meeting with Roscommon following a five-point victory over neighbours Cork at sunsplashed Austin Stack Park on Sunday last (0-20 to 1-12). While it would have taken an extraordinary set of events, including a Cork win, to deny the Kingdom a place in those semi finals, nevertheless both managers were eager to lay down a marker ahead of the upcoming championship and as a result we got quite an enjoyable game before the larger than expected attendance of 8,327. Kerry really got into their stride in the first half leading by 10 points to 2 at one stage before a late penalty saw Cork go in at the break just three points adrift. That score did not reflect Kerry’s dominance in that opening half and the big crowd certainly got behind the home side as they hit eight unanswered points, seven from play. Cork did improve on the changeover and they fought back to level the game with ten minutes remaining. However, the introduction of some fresh legs to the Kerry attack had the desires affect and Kerry

Kerry now play Roscommon

Kerry travel to Croke Park on Sunday next to take on Roscommon in the Allianz League semi-final and of course this will be a chance to atone for their poor display in the Round 2 game between the sides when Roscommon came to Fitzgerald Stadium with a big following and outscored the locals by 0-14 to 1-10. Kerry followers consoled themselves on that occasion by pointing out that if they had a recognised free taker then the result would have been different but Roscommon were full value for their factory on that occasion and their presence in Division 1 this year was a breath of fresh air to the competition. Along with their defeat of Kerry they also had a big victory over Cork when they scored an amazing 4-25, before heading to Letterkenny and scoring 1-19 against the home side. When those type of victories are taken into account maybe Kerry’s

Sunday evening in the county league which was played in wet conditions. The home side picked up their first win of the season winning on a score line of Currow 5-08, Duagh 4-08.

East Kerry

East Kerry Senior League There were 2 games played in the East Kerry Senior league last weekend. On Saturday, Listry hosted Kenmare in what was a fast moving and entertaining round 1back game and it was the home side took the 2 league points on a final scoreline of Listry 2-16 Kenmare 3-11. The second game played was a division 2 Play Off/Semi final between Firies and Scartaglen on Sunday morning. This was closely contested with a nail biting finish. It was the home side, Firies who prevailed and qualified to play Fossa in the final. Full time score: Firies 1-10 Scartaglen 1-8. The final will be fixed for the first available date. Under 15 East Kerry/Kenmare Coaching Under 15 East Kerry/ Kenmare coaching took place over the last few weeks. The coaching sessions were well attended with over forty players taking part. All players showed great interest in improving and developing during the sessions. Thanks to Cian Horan (Glenflesk) for supporting Vince Cooper East Kerry/ Kenmare GDA in delivering the coaching sessions. Mick Myers (Fossa) provided excellent support on training days. Tommy Brosnan (Kerry South U15 Manager) was in attendance to cast his eye over players. Under 13 East Kerry Skills Final The East Kerry Under 13 skills final was

performance against the Primrose and Blue outfit may not have been that bad after all. Darran O’Sullivan and Aidan O’Mahony, who suffered knocks against Monaghan forcing them to sit out last weekend’s game, will be available and so too will Paul Geaney who picked up a knock in training last week. A decision on the availability of team captain, Bryan Sheehan will be made midweek. A strong League panel has been Eamonn Fitzmaurice’s Achilles heel over the last three years but injury problems seem to be clearing up at just the right time of the year. No doubt the Kerry manager will want to extend the winning streak to six games on Sunday. The throw-in for the game is at 2pm and it is the first of a double bill that also features the other semi final between Dublin and Donegal at 4pm.

St Brendan’s are Hogan Cup Colleges Champions

lowing a dramatic 7 points victory over St Pats Maghera in Croke Park on Saturday last (2-13 to 2-6). An early goal for St Pats sustained them for much of the first half though the “Sem” fought back and took their points well and were just a point adrift at the break, 0-7 to 1-5. St Pats were dominant in the 3rd quarter scoring a goal through their talisman McGuigan before the turning point of the game came at the three quarter stage with the dismissal of the influential Derry minor Conor Glass for a strike on David Clifford. With Clifford coming into his own, the “Sem” outscored their opponents by 5 points to 1 in the next 12 minutes before Clifford earned his man of the match status with two fine goals in the closing minutes to seal a third Hogan Cup win in a row for Kerry schools.

Juvenile Boys Football Fossa boys U16 panel had a tough start to their campaign losing to Firies on Monday evening in Fossa. Next up are Gneeveguilla on next Monday evening, where hopefully things will improve. The boys under 14’s got their campaign off to a great start with a comprehensive win over Castleisland on Wednesday evening in Fossa. Next up are Ballyduff away on Wednesday, a tough battle lies ahead for the team but if they work as hard away as they did in Fossa this week then they should reap the rewards. The boys U12 black team got off to a winning start in the County League with a hard fought away win over Ballyduff. Final Score Fossa 2-14 Ballyduff 3-10. The boys U12 red team had a baptism of fire in their first county league game losing away to Ballyduff. Playing with a strong breeze they started slowly and fell behind early on. However as the game progressed they started to get some nice scores. Unfortunately they couldn’t bridge the gap despite the best efforts of Rocco Sheehan at full back. Others to play well, were Scott Carlton, Ted Donovan and Luke Murphy. The Fossa under 6/8/10 academy is now in full swing every Sunday morning at 12.00. Anyone interested please come along and join in the fun. Ladies Football Well done to our three young stars, Anna O’Reilly, Erica McGlynn and Anna Clifford who were part of the victorious Kerry U-16 team who beat Cork in the first round of the Munster Championship, 3-10 to 0-07 on Saturday. There was mixed fortunes for our ladies teams this week. The Senior ladies were away to Beale in the 3rd round of the County League, Beale proved physically much stronger in the first half. Fossa did rally in the second half but Beale retained the lead and won out in the end. Final score Beale 5 -7 to Fossa 2 -13. Fossa U14 girls had a comprehensive win over Ballymac in the second round of the County League. Played under horrible conditions in Fossa, the teams were closely matched in the first half. Fossa girls played fabulous football especially the second half when they controlled the game, final score 4-10 to 2-8. Congratulations A massive congrats to David Clifford who wrote himself into the history books on Saturday when he engineered a famous win for the Sem over St Pat’s, Maghera in the Hogan Cup final in Croke Park. On a day when the Sem

had many star performers, David stood head and shoulders above the rest, his ability to score with the left and right foot brought back memories of the great Maurice Fitzgerald. He finished the game with a personal tally of 2-05, each score being crucial but the one that stands out was the second goal when he turned his marker and crashed the ball to the top corner of the net. He was also presented with the Man Of The Match afterwards for his display. He did his family, school and club proud and I have no doubt it is the first of many great days that David will have in Croke Park in the years ahead.

Mastergeeha FC

U13 Mastergeeha 3 Ballyhar 1. The boys had a good win at home on Friday evening in the first round of the shield. Brendan O’Leary (2) and Cian Foley were the scorers on the night in a good team performance. U14 DIV 1 Mastergeeha 5 Inter Kenmare 0. A brace from Ian O’Connor and a hat trick from MOTM Darren Lehane gave the lads a deserved victory against a plucky Kenmare side. The lads were 2-0 up at HT following superb long range strikes from Lehane and they pushed on in the 2nd half with O’Connor netting twice before Lehane claimed the match ball following great wing play from Darragh O’Riordan. A good all-round team performance from all involved. U16 KERRY CUP

SENIOR PREMIER A Mastergeeha 2 Tralee Dynamos 3. In this tough battle Mastergeeha were unlucky not to at least get a point. In the opening half the visitors took the lead but Mastergeeha were back on terms when Chris Keane scored. After this Mastergeeha created the better chances and took the lead when just before the break when Padraig Nagle scored. In the second half the visitors got the equaliser and then took the lead shortly after through a deflected shot. In the closing stages Mastergeeha pushed forward and created good chances but could not get the deserved equaliser. SENIORS DIV 1B Killorglin 1 Mastergeeha 1.

Legion

SEM There were great scenes in Croke Park last Saturday as the St Brendan’s College senior football team won the Hogan Cup for the first time since 1992. A huge amount of credit is due to the players and their mentors who were terrific all year. Congratulations from everyone at the club to all involved, especially to Legion’s Cian Gammell and Peter McCarthy, who both started and played brilliantly, and also to panellists Mike Pierce and Finbarr Murphy. COUNTY LEAGUE Our seniors are back in action this Saturday with an away fixture against Kilcummin. Throw-in: 6.30pm. U-14 BOYS Killarney Legion 4-11 Laune Rangers 3-8.

MEK United FC

Academy: Our Academy continues to thrive and we train at the Astroturf Pitch at Fossa National School. Training takes place every Saturday with U6/7 training between 2-3pm, U8 between 3-4pm while our U9/10 train from 4-5pm and all are welcome. Last week we decided to organise a match for Saturday between our U9/10 squad and our U12b squad. As you can imagine, the younger squad relished the chance to take on the older players and the game was very competitive, with both sets of players really showcasing some fantastic skills on the day. In the end, it was the U10’s who ran out the winners following a very spirited display. Every single player from

both teams played very well and the skills on show on were a testament to the hard work by the coaches throughout the season. Well done to everyone and we hope to have a rematch over the next few weeks! U13’s Our U13’s were due to take on Fenit in the Kerry Schoolboys League - Division 2 last Saturday away, however the match was cancelled due to a waterlogged pitch. Earlier in the week the U13’s took on Tralee Dynamos last Thursday, in Tralee. The home side won by 3 goals to 1, however our U13’s are showing huge progress and they played very well against Tralee, with Aaron O’Shea scoring MEK’s goal. Great credit is due to head coach Trevor Anderson who is working tirelessly with the squad each week. U12’s: Last weekend, our U12A’s took on LB Rovers in Ballybunion in the worst weather conditions possible. MEK lost 6-3, however we had to play with 8 players as some players couldn’t travel. Down 4-1 at half time, our goal coming from a fantastic solo run by Eddie Moroney. A brace by striker Bailey Carlton early in the second half brought the gap to one but alas the extra man and the sub made a difference for LB. The U12’s are coming along nicely and the goals are coming. Pa Murphy, Ger Lynch and Liam Healy are working hard with the squad and the players are developing into a strong squad. Well done all, keep the progress going.

Coiste na nÓg Chiarraí

Feile na Peil 2016 There was a huge crowd at the Draw at the Gleneagle Hotel last Thursday night for Feile na Peil 2016, including National Chairman Martin Skelly and representatives of host counties Kerry, Cork, and Limerick. This will be the biggest Feile in the history of the competition, with 250 clubs from all over the country and the globe joining together, 125 host clubs and 125 visitors, 5500 U14 players representing their clubs and their communities with pride. All of the speakers on the night, particularly National Chairman Martin Skelly and Feile na Peil 2016 Chairman Tom Keane and his hard-working Committee, stressed that Feile is not a competition; Feile is a celebration of our sporting and GAA culture, and all clubs and spectators are asked to emphasize that aspect of the games. As part of that, there will be nine parades on the Saturday night, hosted by Tralee, Killarney, Listowel, Dingle, Cahirsiveen, Kenmare, Newcastlewest, Kanturk, and Carrigaline. These parades are most certainly not restricted to participating teams; juvenile academies and teams from other age groups and clubs e.g. local hurling clubs, are strongly encouraged to participate and show club colours. Feile is very much an inclusive event and the theme of the parades will be Friendship and Respect. There are clips of the night available on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/ GAAfeile/videos. The full details of the draw are also available. Feile na Peil will be launched at Brosna on May 9th. It should be an historic occasion and everyone is invited to attend.
