PAGE SIX The expression “don’t feed the trolls” comes to mind Words: Adam Moynihan

The front and back pages have been dominated this week by the revelation that Eamonn Fitzmaurice has “a box full of anonymous letters” that he received during his reign as manager of the Kerry senior football team. The news has prompted several other prominent GAA figures to comment on their own experiences with hate mail, with fellow managers Anthony Daly, John Horan and John Kiely speaking to the media about all the angry letters that came through their door. The public backlash has been vociferous and naturally I agree that no one deserves that kind of treatment, especially not a man like Eamonn Fitzmaurice who has been such a great servant to Kerry football. But the whole thing is being blown out of proportion in my opinion. On Wednesday the Irish Examiner led with Kiely’s story on the front page of their sports section under the headline “Me too”. The Examiner’s sports coverage is generally excellent but I think that drawing comparisons between this particular episode and the #MeToo movement is a bit over the top, not to mention distasteful. (Incidentally, Kiely also revealed that he gets his wife to vet the letters so nothing too serious comes his way.) It’s reflective, however, of the widespread melodrama Hate Mailgate has induced. It’s obviously unacceptable behaviour to send an anonymous, abusive letter to anyone. That goes without saying. I’ve no doubt that it wasn’t a nice experience for Eamonn and his wife, or anyone else who has

had to deal with it down through the years. But I don’t see why anyone would feel the need to publicise the issue. Let’s take Fitzmaurice’s situation as an example. He says he has a box of letters at home, all sent by Kerry fans and all hurtful presumably. What purpose does revealing that serve? Firstly, think about the type of person who would take time out of their day to sit down, get a pen and paper, write an abusive, anonymous letter TO A FOOTBALL MANAGER, find out his home address, go to the post office, buy a stamp and put it in the letterbox. There would want to be something seriously wrong with you. It’s pathetic. Someone like that isn’t even worth considering, so why give them oxygen by going public with it? The people who sent those letters are probably at home today delighted that they apparently “got to” Fitzmaurice. They might even feel like they contributed to his resignation. The expression “don’t feed the trolls” comes to mind. Secondly, these letters are now being used as a stick to beat all Kerry supporters - most of whom aren’t absolute morons. Bryan Sheehan came out a couple of days ago to say that he and others players received similar mail over the years but he added that if you went back and looked at the handwriting, they were probably all coming from the same handful of people. I have no doubt that it was the same sorry bunch who were harassing Fitzmaurice. You’re talking about a tiny

minority of fans, but that hasn’t stopped countless journalists and ex-players from recalling with glee the time Páidí ó Sé referred to us as animals. Many of us criticise Kerry managers and even players when we feel as though they’re not performing but we don’t cross the line and get personal. I think Kerry fans have been unfairly branded by this story. The rest of the country - the media in particular - will be slow to forget about it. And you might say, “it’s easy for you, you’re not the one getting the hate mail,” but, funnily enough, I have actually been on the receiving end of an abusive letter. It was hand-written and delivered to my home and the tone of it was extremely aggressive. I’ve broached a few controversial topics in these pages but this is Killarney so of course it was in relation to something I wrote in the sports section. I was shocked initially but I quickly realised how sad it was. I chose not to go public with the details, primarily because I didn’t want to give whoever sent it the satisfaction, but also because I didn’t want to tarnish the good name of the club he or she was supposedly from. Thankfully for me it was an isolated incident, and I do genuinely feel for people like Eamonn Fitzmaurice who have had to deal with it on an ongoing basis, but I think it’s best to just throw the letters in the bin and move on. The authors of this abuse don’t deserve our time. For more reaction to Eamonn Fitzmaurice’s resignation, see Sport P1-3.

Healy-Rae says HSE “lacking compassion” Michael Healy-Rae TD has accused the Health Service Executive of being untruthful and lacking compassion as pressure mounts on the HSE to utilise Killarney’s vacant hospital beds. Deputy Healy-Rae says the HSE are being misleading by referring to “open” beds at the hospital as opposed to occupied beds. According to the independent TD, there were 17 vacant beds in Killarney District Hospitals as of July 30.

“The HSE management is now operating with a complete lack of compassion and human kindness when it comes to dealing with patients and the excellent staff there can only deal with what resources they are given,” he said. “The hospital has to be put working at 100% capacity but even that in its self is not enough as that will not deal with the bed requirement in our county “We also need to open up again the hospital to deal with minor treatments that are

needed which will result in taking pressure off our over burdened A&E in UHK Tralee.” As highlighted in the Killarney Advertiser over the past number of weeks, SIPTU’s Branch Manager of Kerry Hospitals Donie Doody has said that Killarney’s empty beds should be used to take pressure of University Hospital Kerry. Speaking to the Advertiser on July 27, Mr Doody said that he believed there were 30 vacant beds in Killarney. He had never seen so many unused beds in the town in his life, he added.

McShain Campaign

Words: Adam Moynihan

Statues or McShain Memorial Park? Locals have their say As our campaign to have John and Mary McShain honoured continues to gather momentum, a poll carried out on the Killarney Advertiser Facebook page suggests that the majority of locals would favour renaming Killarney House & Gardens over erecting busts/statues in their honour. At the time of going to print, hundreds of our readers had voted in just 24 hours. When asked ‘How should John and Mary McShain be honoured?’, 81% chose “McShain Memorial Park” with 19% opting for “busts or statues”. Suggestions for officially recognising the philanthropic American couple, who purchased Killarney House & Gardens and a large area of Killarney including the Demesne, Ross Castle and Innisfallen Island before returning it to the State for free, have been rolling in since the historian Damien Switzer and the Killarney Advertiser teamed up to start a campaign last month. Renaming the famous house and gardens where the McShains resided has been mentioned, as has erecting statues in their honour either on or outside the grounds of Killarney House. Some locals have also put forward the idea of renaming Mission Road, the land for which was donated to the council by the McShains, ‘McShain Road’. Speaking exclusively the Killarney Advertiser last week, caretaker Harry O’Donoghue revealed that he had pleaded with the relevant authorities to name the road after the McShains from day one but his idea fell on deaf ears. The loyal Killarney House employee, who worked for and knew the McShains personally, also threw his weight behind the idea of erecting statues in their honour in a suitably prominent position. Although many of our readers appear to prefer the

idea of renaming the park, Pat Dawson, General Manager of Killarney House & Gardens, has thrown cold water on the prospects of this actually happening. “The suggestion of having a bust or a statue of John McShain on display in or at Killarney House is one that I am sure our Department would look favourably upon and we would be happy to cooperate and support any local efforts to that end,” he said. “The suggestion of re-naming the area around Killarney House as the ‘McShain Memorial Park’ is unlikely to be a runner, however. The entity which is the National Park, which includes the Muckross Estate and

the Kenmare Estate, has an official status and I do not foresee any changes in that regard. Part of the park has been renamed before but there were mitigating circumstances, Mr Dawson explains. “The Bourn Vincent Memorial Park, (which encompasses those lands donated to the State by the Bourn Vincent family in 1932), was established by an Act of the Dáil, the Bourn Vincent Memorial Park Act 1932, and was so called to comply with the express wishes of the Bourn and Vincent families at the time. “In his various transactions and interactions with the State, John McShain never requested that a memorial be erected in his name or that any part of his former lands be designated as a memorial park.” What do you think? Should efforts be made to rename the park regardless? Would statues be a fitting way of recognising the McShains? Do you have any other ideas? Let us know by emailing newsdesk@killarneyadvertiser.ie.

Residents take to Facebook to bemoan traffic and parking problems Angry locals have taken to social media to vent their frustrations over Killarney’s ongoing traffic and parking problems. Commenting on last week’s article (‘Has Killarney’s traffic problem reached breaking point?’) on the Killarney Advertiser Facebook page, fuming motorists expressed their dismay at the current situation, with some branding it a “nightmare”. Congestion seems to have reached new levels this summer as residents and visitors alike are finding themselves stuck in long lines of traffic approaching and leaving all sides of the town. As we mentioned last week (and numerous times before that), the recent TEIR 1 tourism report highlighted parking and traffic as major concerns for tourists and business owners alike. The report also predicted a 30% increase in tourism over the next seven years. Parking and infrastructure in general will clearly have to be addressed if this growth is to be sustained. We contacted the Kerry County Council to ask if anything concrete plans were in place to tackle the issue but we are yet to receive a response. Speaking to the Killarney Advertiser in this week’s Smalltalk interview

(see P16), Mayor John Sheahan admitted that parking and the interlinked issue of traffic were the biggest challenges facing the town. He added that the new car park on the Rock Road will help alleviate the problem and also said they were looking at the Lewis Road site. The latter has been signalled as an ideal area for development in these pages since last year, and our artist’s rendition of a proposed civic plaza and multi-storey car park was greeted warmly by our readers. One thing is for sure: the majority of Killarney people are not happy with the current situation. Facebook comments: Michael Kelleher: Parking is the issue. Closing off a car park in the middle of the summer season and not providing a replacement for the temporarily lost spaces when spaces are at a premium. Danijel Baždarić: Traffic in Killarney is really a big problem. Brigid Mary O’Neill: Beyond ridiculous! Carl Williams: I had to go pick up people in Cork Airport last week. It took me 1 hr 20 mins to get from Killorglin to other side of Killarney. It’s a disgrace really.

Teresa Moynihan Fox: Why not set up a park and ride system? Mary Ellen O’Sullivan: Killarney traffic is a nightmare. Roadworks are constant in the middle of the busy season. Stop and go lollipops and queues mounting, not to mention no parking spaces. It’s getting worse all the time. Will someone wake up and try to solve this huge problem that’s causing chaos in such a busy tourist town? Jordan Naughton: Why on God’s Earth do they not build a huge multi-storey car park?

TOWNTALK Music

Kendrick Lamar, The Prodigy… and Sem students? A talented group of young musicians from St Brendan’s College will perform alongside the likes of Kendrick Lamar, The Prodigy, Walking on Cars and Dua Lipa at Electric Picnic, it has been revealed. The youngsters will join world famous Killarney musician Liam O’Connor on the Hazel Wood After Dark Stage at the iconic festival, which is held annually at Stradbally in Laois. Liam and the lads will perform on Friday, August 31. The Sem’s trad musicians are no strangers to rubbing shoulders with big stars; earlier this year they played alongside Liam and Aslan

frontman Christy Dignam at a fundraising concert in the college chapel. Speaking to the Killarney Advertiser, Liam said he was looking forward to the show. “I’m delighted to be doing Electric Picnic for the first time,” he said. “I decided, because of my close association with the college, to bring the trad students of St Brendan’s to perform as special guests. “It’s a massive opportunity to play at an international festival and it’ll be a great experience for the students to perform and get to know the music industry at the highest level.”

Gap tragedy: Tourist died of blunt force trauma The inquest into the death of one of two North American tourists who died in a jaunting car accident at the Gap of Dunloe earlier this year has opened and adjourned. The inquest heard that Canadian Normand Larose (62) died as the result of severe brain injury after falling onto rocks from the pony and trap. The inquest opened in Killarney on last Thursday morning “to allow the death certificate to issue”, coroner Aisling Quilter said. The post-mortem, which was carried out two days after his death on April 11, found that Mr Larose had suffered from severe trauma, brain injury and extensive fractures to his skull, Ms Quilter noted.

“Death was the result of blunt force trauma with severe brain injury due to a fall onto rocks from a pony and trap on April 9, 2018,” the coroner said, adjourning the hearing. Mr Larose’s partner Joy Few (64) from Phoenix, Arizona also died in the incident. It was believed at the time that pair’s extended family came upon but did not witness the tragic accident, which rocked the town of Killarney. It’s understood that the horse suddenly bolted and the couple were thrown from the carriage when it struck an embankment. The horse was seriously injured and subsequently had to be put down. The jarvey, Dan Casey from Kilgarvan, was taken to UHK where he was treated for shock. It was also confirmed this week that large warning

signs will be erected at the Gap, 15 months after a separate tragedy claimed the life of an American cyclist. Janet Price from Washington DC died after falling from her bike on a sharp turn not far from Kate Kearney’s Cottage. The signs will warn cyclists of dangerous bends at the world famous beauty spot.

God Has No Country Returns For National & International Dates The critically-acclaimed play God Has No Country is set for a welcome return over the coming months with special performances taking place in Kerry and much further afield, it has been revealed. The play, written and performed by Donal Courtney, depicts the true war time exploits of Kerry priest, Monsignor Hugh O’Flaherty. “As part of my mission to bring the story of Hugh O’Flaherty to a wide an audience as possible, I am pleased to announce that God Has No Country returns this autumn for national and international dates,” Donal said. The next performance is a return to St John’s Arts Centre, Listowel on Wednesday, August 15 at 8pm. This

will be the third time the play has been staged at St John’s, including a sell-out performance at the Writers Week festival in 2014. The play will also run in County Mayo for the first time at the Town Hall Theatre, Westport, Friday 14/ Sat 15 September at 8pm. A special performance will take place at Killarney Golf Club on Friday, October 26 at 8pm. This performance will be staged in celebration of the 125 years of Killarney Golf Club and also as part of the Hugh O’Flaherty Memorial Commemoration. The Monsignor had a very close attachment to Killarney Golf Club. “It gives me great pleasure to announce international dates also,” Donal continued. “This is crucial to spread-

ing the story of this great Killarney man as well as promoting Killarney and Kerry abroad.” The play will be staged at the Theatre Practice, Singapore on Thursday 28/ Friday 29/Saturday 30 September with the support of the Irish Chamber of Commerce in Singapore. It will be the first time Donal has had the opportunity to take Monsignor O’Flaherty’s story to Asia. A further honour will be two performances in Valetta, Malta on Monday 15 and 16 October. The second of these will be a special performance in the Presidential Palace where, Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca, President of Malta will be in attendance. These performances have been organised by the

Irish embassy in Malta and follow on from a performance in Rome in 2017 which was also thanks to the Irish embassy there. In November the play will go to America for a second time with a performance in Columbus, Ohio on November 1 and a second performance at the prestigious College-Conservatory of Music, Cincinnati, Ohio on November 2. “I am delighted with the continued success of God Has No Country, which since its premiere in my home town, Killarney in 2013, has been performed almost 100 times and has been seen by nearly 10,000 people,” Donal said.

NEWS Kelleher expresses disappointment at FF snub

10.08.18

Former Mayor of Killarney Cllr Niall Kelleher has expressed his disappointment at not being added to the Fianna Fáil ticket for the next general election. Kelleher, a native of Rathmore, had hoped to get the nod ahead of the other six candidates who expressed an interest but in the end Cllr Norma Moriarty was chosen to join Deputy John Brassil on the card. Kelleher congratulated Cllr Moriarty on her victory before adding that: “On a personal note, I am disappointed that I have not been added to the ticket, thus far, but I am encouraged by the fact that the National Constituencies Committee has stressed that the situation in Kerry will be kept under review over the next number of months. “I am not alone in thinking that to be

in with the best possible chance of winning two seats in Kerry, we need to run three candidates and we need to maximise geographical advantages. “I will now be concentrating on the next election we know we will face and that is the local elections in May 2019 when I will focus on increasing my vote. We will see what happens after that as, in terms of the timing for a general election, we are still in the dark.” Senator Mark Daly, Cllr Michael Cahill, Cllr Norma Foley, Cllr Michael D O’Shea and Cllr Tom McEllistrim were the other candidates who were overlooked. Cllr Cahill also expressed his dismay at not being selected, citing gender balance as one of the reasons the party went with Cllr Moriarty. “For my part I wish to state that I am not at all surprised but obviously very

disappointed not to have been added to the party ticket,” he said. “Not surprised in that I was up against the gender balance whereby political parties have to run 30% female candidates to qualify for the maximum state funding. “Disappointed in that I was one of five candidates that contested the party convention last January, coming out on top in South Kerry, the very same convention that both Cllr Michael O’Shea and Cllr Norma Moriarty were eliminated in. I have given my entire adult life to public service, almost 28 years, I am known for my tireless work and I am a proven vote getter.

Mayor calls for reduction of speed limit Mayor of Killarney John Sheahan has called for a reduction of the speed limit at a junction on the main Killarney to Killorglin road. Cllr Sheahan and local campaigners hope that reducing the speed limit from 100kph to 60kph will make the stretch of road near the Beaufort Bridge safer.

“I received more votes in the 2014 local elections, more than any of the Fianna Fáil candidates including Deputy John Brassil. This along with my vast experience and political base in Mid Kerry would have put me in an ideal position to win a seat for the party. “You should always play your strongest team.”

“Are these slugs wearing Kerry jerseys?”

The closing date for submissions for the speed limit review date is August 17. Many within the Beaufort Community are strongly in favour of decreasing the limit, and a petition is currently being signed at the Beaufort Bridge shop. Local business owner Michael O’Sullivan says that the area on the busy N22 encompasses two busy junctions, one towards Lahard and the other towards Beaufort village. Both junctions are within 100 metres of each other. High volumes of fast-moving

traffic is making access to this area very difficult and dangerous, he added.

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, In your edition on August 3 you published an item by your columnist Anne Lucey regarding the difficulty being experienced by wheelchair persons in accessing taxis and of the need to highlight the problem. I wish to inform your readers that at the most recent (July 2018) Monthly Meeting of Kerry County Council I proposed the following Notice of Motion: “That the Taxi Regulator, the National Transport Authority and the Taxi Drivers Federation would enter into meaningful discussion with the Irish Wheelchair Association with a view to formulating a policy/ plan that will ensure fair and reasonable access to wheelchair accessible vehicles for wheelchair users.” I stated that many wheelchair users experience great difficulty in getting a taxi unless they book well in advance. Those requiring immediate access to a taxi are frequently disappointed and unable to keep

an appointment. The recent national allocation of additional taxi accessible licences should help the overall situation. The government grant of €7,500 towards the purchase of a wheelchair accessible taxi was meant to significantly increase the number of such vehicles and make them more readily available to people who use wheelchairs. The Notice of Motion has particular relevance for Killarney as the town has been selected to work towards becoming Ireland’s foremost town for accessibility for people with any degree of disability. It would be wonderful if the town could be an exemplar to the rest of the country in the matter of access to taxis. Equality of treatment in all areas of life is the very essence fairness. Mo bhuíochas, Michael Gleeson (Cllr) Kerry Independent Alliance

Danny Healy-Rae TD has expressed his dismay that it could cost up €2 million to move Kerry slugs from the proposed site of the new Macroom bypass. “I am very disappointed with the announcement that it will cost €2 million to remove the ‘Kerry’ slugs from the proposed route Macroom Bypass route,” the Independent TD said. “I cannot understand how it will cost this much. I would prefer to see this money spent to reduce the number of people waiting on trollies in UHK.” Furthermore, I would like to know how it was decided that this slug, living in Cork, is from Kerry? Are these slugs wearing Kerry jerseys or is there proof that they travelled all the way from Kerry in the last 500 years? Do we know how long it took the slugs to travel from Kerry?”

Notice from An Garda Síochána An Garda Síochána, Killarney wish to advise the public that a licence has issued for a private fireworks display. Date of Display: August 11, 2018 • Time: 10.30pm Address of Display: Dunloe Area of Killarney, Co.

SmallTalk

Adam Moynihan caught up with the new Mayor of Killarney, John Sheahan, in the first edition of a new series of Smalltalk

How have your first few weeks as Mayor of Killarney gone? I just finished up with the county and that was fairly busy, so we were pretty much up to speed with what was going on. Things are going very well in Killarney. As we can all see, people are coming in droves. What’s biggest challenge facing the town? Parking. I get a lot of calls about parking and I see it myself. Yesterday evening I had a bit of business in town and I was driving around the High Street car park, but they’re all chock-a-block. There is, as we speak, a plan being devised to deal with the issue. There will be a new car park at Rock Road and the executive have their eyes on Lewis Road as well. The engineers are also putting plans in place to get traffic moving around the town more efficiently. Does the job come with perks? Maybe it does but I haven’t seen them anyway, Adam! Are your family from Killarney originally? We’re originally from Glenbeigh. I’m the fifth in a family of ten, nine boys and one girl. My sister was the toughest of us all. She was well able to give you a kick up in the behind if you didn’t do things her way! We came to town in the 80s and set up a family butchering business in College Street. And you have two sons? I have, the famous Denis and Danny who you know from football. I hope they don’t be picking on you now up at Legion training… They wouldn’t dare, John! They’re based up in Cork? They are and they come every weekend with the washing, expecting to be fed. I suppose my wife must be doing a good job, that’s why they keep returning. They play with the Legion as you know and if everyone is fit and puts their shoulder to the wheel, who knows, they might bring home some trophies this year. And what about your wife? My wife, Mairead, who keeps everything turning over, is a nurse in University Hospital Kerry. She’s a great woman and she works very hard. What made you want to get into politics? When we were youngsters in Glenbeigh we used to be pushed out to go canvassing with the local councillors. Our house was steeped in politics. I had two brothers who were forerunners and I got co-opted in 2007. I had a deep desire to contribute and to help people with their issues. It’s

something I enjoy. What was the toughest moment of your career? When we turn Christmas we’ll be facing into another election and that’s always a difficult time. You have a lot of work and canvassing to do, and you’re on tenterhooks. You can never bet on the outcome. What was your proudest moment? I suppose the day I got married. We’ve had many wonderful years ever since then. And the most embarrassing? I was at a conferring ceremony in Limerick and I saw my name on the programme to give a speech in the auditorium. I nearly had a canary, as the Yank would say. Thank God there was a namesake who was the current Mayor of Limerick on hand to do the honours - it was his responsibility. Now and then I still get calls from people looking to disagree with this John Sheahan from Limerick. What do you make of Leo Varadkar? He’s a real progressive, forward-thinking leader. He’s a safe pair of hands and very much in touch with the electorate. If you were Taoiseach, what would your first act in office be? Being a little biased, I’d ensure that the towns of Adare and Macroom were bypassed. But I think the first thing a fella would have to do is enable the construction industry to recommence building.

John Sheahan

I’d prefer to go with people who are living anyway. Mícheál ó Muircheartaigh is one. He’s a total entertainer and I wish I had a memory like him. And Christy Moore. Not just an ordinary man. I think he’s a very genuine character and his songs tell it all. What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received? It was from my father and he said, “young lad, keep your feet on the ground.” Do you have any nicknames? The family nickname would be the Den Dans. There are so many Sheahans in Glenbeigh, you had the Mick Dans and the Danny Dans, and we were the Den Dans. Is there an app on your phone you couldn’t live without? What’s an app?

If you had to vote for one of Danny HealyRae or Michael Healy-Rae, who would you choose? If they were running for the same seat, I’d give them both number 1.

What kind of phone do you have? I have a Nokia.

Haha… What do you make of them? They’re clever and they’re hard workers. They’re doing very well. What more can you say?

What would you sing at karaoke? Andrea Bocelli would be a big favourite of ours here, my wife and myself, so I’ll say Con Te Partiro.

Which politician would you least like to get stuck in a lift with? My colleague Bobby O’Connell. He never laughs at my jokes so we’d be running out of topics fairy quick.

Who would play you in a movie about your life? Michael Fassbender. He’d manage it alright.

If Fine Gael dissolved and you had to change parties, who would you join? I think I’d stay loyal or my mother would come and haunt me. My brothers wouldn’t be too happy with me either.

And last one… Can you tell me a joke? It doesn’t matter how often a married man changes his job. He still ends up with the same boss. It’s all ahead of you, Adam!

If you could go for dinner with any two people, living or dead, who would they be and why?

Thanks for talking to us, John. Thank you.

You wouldn’t have any apps on that so! I’d just be looking for fellas numbers. I manage away.

Killarney Credit Union On Hand To Help With College Costs With the Leaving Cert results and CAO offers coming out this month, many families will see their child or children off to college for the first time. For these families, this can be an extremely stressful time, as the cost of third level education continues to spiral, having a huge impact on family budgets and household spending. Killarney Credit Union would like to remind their members that the credit union is here to help and have this week launched their education loan which can help families in the South Kerry area cover these costs. This week Killarney Credit Union also announced the opening of its 2018 Bursary Award which will give a €4,000 bursary to four third level students to attend college this academic year. The bursary is open to all members of Killarney Credit Union who are attending college for the first time and

is also open to students studying aboard and mature students. Speaking about the awards, Joy Clifford-Vaughan, Youth Officer with Killarney Credit Union said “last year we had 46 applicants for the awards and the lucky winners were Rosha Courtney, Paul Murphy, Michéal McCarthy, Fianait O’Donoghue who each received an award for €1,000 each. With the increased costs of attending third level, this bursary is a welcome financial aid for meeting those costs” she concluded. Application forms are available in all branches and on the website www.killarneycu.ie. The closing date is Friday 21, September at 5pm. Proof of acceptance on course must be provided in advance of payment of bursary. Helen Courtney Power, Business Development Officer, Killarney Credit Union said: “The significant cost

of third level education puts phenomenal pressure on both parents and students starting or returning to 3rd level education this year. The student registration fee combined with monthly rent and bills, books and materials, food and day to day expenses are a significant financial burden to many families. Helen added “Killarney Credit Union is available to support both parents and students as they prepare for the academic year ahead. We have put in place dedicated student loan officers in each of our three branches, who can advise parents and students on the best finance options. We are advising parents and students to come in early and discuss their financial needs for the college costs. We are also here to support families through our Bursary Award also, so make sure to apply before the end date” he concluded.

Conor Myles and Dan O’Connor,

Partners of Terence F. Casey & Company Solicitors, 99 College Street, Killarney, present information on legal issues

ORGANISATION OF WORKING TIME The Organisation of Working Time Act 1997 sets out that the maximum average working week for many Employees cannot exceed 48 hours. It is the average hours that is calculated and this does not mean that a working week can never exceed 48 hours. The average may be calculated in one of the following manners: over four months for most Employees, over six months for Employees working in security industry, hospitals, prisons and other areas which have peak periods at certain times of the year such as tourism or over twelve months where there has been an agreement between the Employer and Employees to this effect. The calculation of 48 hours does not include annual leave, sick leave or maternity leave/adoptive/ parental leave. The Organisation of Working Time Act 1997 does not apply to all Employees. It does not apply to the Gardai, Defence Forces, Employees who control their own working hours or family Employees on farms or in private homes. There are separate regulations governing the working time of trainee doctors or those working in mobile road transport activities

or Employees working at sea. A recent decision by the Labour Court dealt with an Employee who was required to deal with out of hours work emails which led to an excess of hours worked over and above the 48 hours per week. The Labour Court ruled in the Employee’s favour and awarded a sum of compensation. This was one of the first cases to deal with hours worked outside of the work place and shows the strict approach taken by the Labour Court and the Workplace Relations Commissioner towards Employers in these matters.

Talented Nik captures Beautiful Killarney

A fabulous new book of photos which takes readers on a tour of Killarney is now available in shops. Photographer Nik Hall describes Beautiful Killarney: A Walk Through the National Park as a guide for people coming to Killarney, or a book that visitors can take with them as momento. “It’s a walk through from town right through to Ladies View, taking in all the sights on the way,” Nik explains. “It takes you back down through Muckross woods to Muckross Abbey. It’s a route you can walk or drive or cycle. Every picture in the book is in order of what you could possibly see on the way.” “I wanted people to go and hunt for some views themselves. That’s the thing about Killarney. I haven’t even scratched the surface of all the things here myself and I’ve got a book

on it.” Nik, who is originally from the south coast of England, says he always had a passion for photography but he wasn’t able to attack it properly until about five years ago. He taught himself from scratch which is a remarkable feat, especially considering the quality of the images on show in this beautifully crafted, self-published book. “We had the launch day a few weeks ago at Fossa GAA and it was great. The reaction has been really positive so far.” Beautiful Killarney is available from Easons, O’Connor’s, The Handy Stores and the Bricín. For more information, email lordhallpublishing@gmail.com. You can also follow Nik on Twitter @niksimages.

A Weekly Round-Up Of News + Views From Kerry And Around Fatal Amount Of Alcohol Can Be Bought For €10, Report Finds Alcohol in Ireland currently costs so little that a “fatal” amount of alcohol can be bought for €10, a new survey has suggested. In its latest alcohol market review and price survey, Alcohol Action Ireland (AAI) has said that the price of alcohol in Ireland “demonstrates the remarkable affordability of alcohol to everyday shoppers”. The report said that there is an urgent necessity to implement the Public Health Alcohol Bill, including minimum unit pricing to ensure the low-cost of the strongest, cheapest alcohol will be tackled. The survey also suggested that alcohol can be bought at a low-cost from not just major retail operators, but across all levels of retail. Conducted over seven days in July across four nationwide locations – two urban and two regional/rural centres – suggests that cider products remain the cheapest, strongest alcohol products available to the off-trade consumer. Beer products are the second cheapest just ahead of wine and

spirit products such as gin and vodka. The HSE low-risk weekly guidelines on alcohol consumption for healthy adults aged 18 to 65 are currently 17 standard drinks for men and 11 standard drinks for women. The methodology deployed sought to establish the unit cost per standard which is set at 10g of pure alcohol in each product surveyed. So, for example, a 4.3% beer product in a 500ml volume container contains 1.7 standard drinks, while a 37.5% gin product in a 700ml contains 21 standard drinks. A man consuming alcohol within the HSE low-risk guidelines can reach the weekly threshold for as little as €8.49 and women consuming alcohol can reach the weekly threshold for as little as €5.49, according to AAI. “At this level of affordability, for a tenner you can buy enough drink to cause a fatal alcohol overdose,” Dr Bobby Smyth, consultant child and adolescent psychiatrist and AAI board member said.

Trump Corner Michael Moore Releases Trailer For Trump Doc The first trailer for Michael Moore’s Donald Trump documentary Fahrenheit 11/9 has been released, promising an incendiary look at modern life in America. The Oscar-winning film-maker has been focusing on the effect of the president in an attempt to shift public perception before November. “I’m finishing my movie and getting it out before the midterms because I want millions of people to get to the polls,” he said to Bill Maher in June. “We’re going to bring Trump down.” In the first footage from the film, we see Moore speak to Parkland student and activist David Hogg and rising Democratic star Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The Bowling for Columbine director is also seen spraying “Flint water” into the front yard of Rick Snyder, the governor of Michigan. Moore goes on to describe Trump as “the last president of the United States”. The title is a reference to the day that he won the election. In an interview with HuffPost, Moore describes Trump as an “evil genius” and speaks to the potential power of his new film. “On opening weekend, Fahrenheit 9/11 was the num-

Never fails to entertain

ber one movie in every red state in the country,” he says in reference to his award-winning documentary. “It was a hit in military towns and on military bases. My choir is the American people. The old guard of the Democratic party has failed to speak to them. I will at least give them a song they can belt out.” Fahrenheit 9/11 remains the highest grossing documentary of all time, making $222m worldwide. It’s the latest offering from Moore aimed directly at the effect of Trump following on from his filmed one-man talk Michael Moore in TrumpLand and his Broadway show The Terms of My Surrender. It was originally set to be released with the Weinstein Company before Harvey Weinstein was hit with multiple allegations of sexual assault. The documentary will premiere at this year’s Toronto film festival before a US release on 21 September. “Hope is passive,” Moore said about the movie. “Hope gives you permission to let someone else do the work. Hope leads people to believe that tax returns, or a pee tape, or the FBI or an adult film star will save the country. Hope, and the passivity that comes with it, is what helped get us here to begin with. It’s the lazy way out. We don’t need hope. We need action.”

Ukrainian Hunger Striker Says “End Is Near” A Ukrainian film-maker on hunger strike in a remote Russian jail is in a “catastrophically bad” state, one of his cousins says. Oleg Sentsov (42) went on hunger strike on May 14 to press Russia to free 64 jailed Ukrainians whom he calls political prisoners. On Facebook his cousin Natalya Kaplan quoted a letter from Sentsov. She wrote (in Russian): “He can hardly stand up. He wrote that the end is near.” Russia jailed him on terror charges. Ukraine’s rights ombudswoman Ludmyla Denisova published pictures on Facebook of Oleg Sentsov on Thursday dated August 9, which she said she had received from her Russian counterpart. Ms Denisova quoted the Russian ombudswoman as saying that Oleg Sentsov was “active, watches TV, reads books, writes from time to time”, and that his condition was “satisfactory”. Sentsov was found guilty of plotting terrorist acts, including arson attacks, in Crimea after Russia annexed the Ukrainian peninsula in March 2014. In August 2015 a military court in Rostov-on-Don, southern Russia, sentenced him to 20 years in jail, and he is now being held in La-

bytnangi, a small town in Russia’s Arctic north. There is a high-profile campaign in Ukraine demanding his release. He is best known for his 2011 film Gamer. His lawyer Dmitry Dinze visited Sentsov on Tuesday and later said his client had lost 30kg (66lb) in weight and his heart rate had slowed. During the trial, Sentsov denied the Russian charges, saying that “a court of occupiers cannot be just”. He said members of Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) had beaten him up to extract a confession. Prosecutors say he was involved in two attempted arson attacks in the city of Simferopol, ordered by extremist Ukrainian group Right Sector. The Ukrainian government says he is being punished for being a Crimea-based pro-Ukrainian activist. Russia’s annexation of Crimea and its support for rebels in eastern Ukraine led to a series of sanctions imposed by Western nations against Moscow. Ukrainians have been staging protests near Russian embassies around the world, demanding the release of Sentsov and other Ukrainian prisoners in Russia.

California Man Arrested For Starting Authorities have arrested a man for starting the so-called Holy Fire, which has burned over 9,600 acres through the mountains of Southern California. Forrest Gordon Clark, 51, had emailed the local volunteer fire chief to threaten “this place will burn”, according to Orange County officials. Over 600 firefighters are battling the Holy Fire, which is just one of 18 wildfires raging across the state. The Mendocino Complex fire has been declared the largest in state history. Mr Clark was arrested outside his cabin on Tuesday after a brief

standoff with officers. He was charged with arson, felony threat to terrorise and resisting arrest. He was booked in jail on a $1m bond in relation to the fire, which continues to burn in the Santa Ana Mountains south of Los Angeles. Authorities say he intentionally started the fire on Monday after a decade-long dispute with neighbours. All 12 nearby properties were burned by the fire, with only Mr Clark’s home left standing. Susan Schroeder, spokeswoman for the Orange County district attorney’s office, said her office would “bring him to justice for these terrible crimes”.

Sonar May Play A Role In Whale Strandings The Irish Whale and Dolphin Group has reported a further seven whale strandings after an initial three were reported earlier this week. On Wednesday, the IWDG reported that three Curvier’s beaked whales had been found dead in separate locations in Mayo and Donegal, describing the strandings as a cause for concern. The group has since received seven more such reports – two in Galway at Inishturk and Omey Island, one in Sligo at Cliffony and three in Donegal in Falcarragh, Inishboffin and Inishowen. Another carcass, also believed to be a beaked whale, was spotted from the Celtic Explorer vessel. Mick O’Connell, coordinator of the IWDG Cetacean Stranding Scheme, believes the actual death toll is likely

to be much higher, describing the whales that have been spotted so far as the “absolute minimum”. O’Connell said that beaked whales are particularly affected by loud underwater man-made noise such as naval sonar. He said that there would be no post-mortems carried out on the whales because they were in such a poor condition when they were found. “If one was carried out, a post-mortem would show acoustic damage in the whales inner ear and bubbles in their organs, if sonar did play a role in their deaths. The bubbles would be caused by decompression sickness, which is odd because whales are designed for dealing with pressure changes.” O’Connell added that man-made causes like sonar were likely to blame.

Yemen: Air Strike On Bus Kills 29 Children

At least 29 children have been killed and 30 wounded in a Saudi-led coalition air strike in Yemen, the International Committee of the Red Cross says. The children were travelling on a bus that was hit at a market in Dahyan, in the northern province of Saada. The health ministry run by the rebel Houthi movement said put the death toll at 43, and said 61 people were wounded. The coalition, which is backing Yemen’s government in a war with the Houthis, said its actions were “legitimate”. It insists it never deliberately targets civilians, but human rights groups have accused it of bombing markets, schools, hospitals and residential areas.

Yemeni tribal elders told the Associated Press that the bus was hit as it passed through Dahyan market and that it was transporting local civilians, including many school children. The charity Save the Children said it had been told by its staff that the children were on their way back to school from a picnic when the driver of their bus stopped to get a drink. The vehicle was stationary when the attack happened, it added. The ICRC said a hospital it supported in Saada had received the bodies of 29 children, all of them under the age of 15, and 48 injured people, among them 30 children. It sent additional supplies to the hospital to cope with the influx of patients.

“Largest Fire In State History”

If you’re going to catch them all, you need to have the right kit. Grandfather Chen San-yuan has rigged 11 smart phones on his bicycle to play the augmented reality game, Pokemon Go. He plans to add four more. The Taiwanese man, affectionately known as Uncle Pokemon, learnt about the game from his grandson, and can play up to 20 hours straight before he runs out of battery power for his devices. He currently spends more than £1,000 ($1,290) a month on his habit. Mr Chen uses portable battery packs to power his multiple devices, enabling him to stay out late at night to catch Pokemon in the capital city, Taipei. He was unaware of his popularity until Taiwanese news channel EXP.GG found

him and interviewed him, when he was only using nine phones to play. Fans of the game first learnt of him when a photo of Mr Chen appeared on social media site Reddit. He says the game has helped him to make friends and to fend off Alzheimer’s disease. Launched in July 2016, Pokemon Go quickly swept the world and made shares in Nintendo soar. Players use their smart phones to catch virtual monsters, superimposed onto the physical environment through augmented reality. They flick Pokeballs on their phone screens at the creatures to capture them and level up.

Fianna Fáil Tweet Asks If The Hse “Are On Crack” Fianna Fáil has said a tweet sent from its official account suggesting the Health Service Executive (HSE) is “on crack” is not representative of the party’s policy on drugs. In June the HSE and the Ana Liffey Drug Project launched a harm reduction campaign to tackle the increasing levels of cocaine and crack cocaine use in Ireland. The campaign had a health-focused approach and was aimed at people who are already using the drug, whether it is recreationally or on a regular basis. The offending tweet from Fianna Fáil yesterday morning questioned why the HSE was spending time on campaigns like this when there are almost one million people on hos-

pital waiting lists. It also suggested the HSE may be on crack cocaine. A similar message was also posted on the party’s official Facebook page. Both posts were quickly deleted after immediate criticism. A spokesperson for Fianna Fail said the tweet was “posted by a junior member of the staff from the party account”. “It does not represent party policy whatsoever,” they said, adding that the party’s national drugs strategy submission supports “fairly radical proposals” to tackle problem drug use. They also pointed out that the tweet was quickly deleted.

quel to Breaking Bad, rather than something that feels like an extension of the now-iconic series, but the two worlds are definitely about to collide in season 4. “If you love Breaking Bad, you’re going to get to see that world expand a bit,” creator Vince Gilligan explained “And in addition to seeing things from that world that you’ve seen, you’re going to meet people who were referenced in Breaking Bad but you never met.”

SISU opens new Clinic

Offers Treatment Promotions in Killarney You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone. That’s especially true when it comes to a youthful, gravitydefying appearance. That’s why two Irish brothers, Dr Brian Cotter and Dr James Cotter, opened their first Visage Clinical Beauty location in 2014. The Cork-based clinic was an immediate hit, offering doctor-led, nonsurgical treatments like Botox anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers, lip fillers, liquid face lifts, neck lifts and more. Dr James Cotter explains why it felt so urgent to open a clinic where only medical doctors perform treatments. “Unqualified providers were performing treatments that demand medical training. Some were even coming to town for a weekend, getting dozens of unsuspecting people into hotel rooms, and injecting them in an assembly line style.” The doctors felt they had to do something. What the Cotters did was provide a safe, doctor-led clinic offering bespoke treatments with continuity of care at reasonable prices. With dozens of 5-star reviews on WhatClinic.ie and glowing word of mouth spreading from thrilled patients, the two soon launched a Dublin location and brought on more doctors to handle the influx. New SISU patients were arriving in droves from Killarney, Tralee and Beaufort for treatments. So in 2017, the doctors opened their third clinic, in Killarney’s Old Town Hall, Market Cross.

Now, Visage Clinical Beauty has rebranded as SISU Clinics. To celebrate and say thank you to the Kerry community, they are offering huge savings at SISU Clinic Killarney. “Kerry has been very good to us. We have so many brilliant patients who come from near and far, and our doctors and reception staff have come to know them very well. What better way to say thanks than to give everyone a massive discount on their treatments?” asks Dr Cotter. The relaunch offers, detailed below, are open to new patients as well. What’s more, the Killarney location has just had a complete refit to take patients’ inclinic experience to the next level. “We want to give every patient the best experience in every way,” Dr Cotter emphasises. “That includes feeling pampered in a gorgeous, soothing atmosphere.” Open Tuesday through Saturday from 10AM to 6PM, SISU isn’t your typical clinic. Patients enjoy a warm welcome and free consultations with their own SISU doctor, as well as continuity of care that includes free 14-day, posttreatment follow-up appointments. “You can only get the best results from a doctor who understands your concerns, gives you all the information you need, and puts you at ease in asking questions,” says Dr Cotter. “Our doctors have that extra bit of empathy, putting the patient first. We will even say no if we think a treatment won’t be right for you.” Thanks to those trusting doctor/patient relationships fostered

by SISU’s doctors, most new patients return for further treatments. SISU Killarney’s own rejuvenation reflects the doctors’ desire to serve patients in calming, plush surroundings, according to Dr Cotter. “So many people come to us saying, ‘I finally decided to do something for myself.’ Often they’re busy parents, working hard, rushing to do everything for everyone else. When you put yourself first for a change, you deserve a luxurious, relaxing experience.” Women aren’t the only ones flocking to SISU to regain a youthful appearance. Dr Cotter reports that more than 30% of the clinics’ patients are men - from all walks of life and across the age spectrum. SISU even offers a ‘Mantox’ treatment, a bespoke treatment for men’s unique muscle structure and fibre patterns.

SISU Clinics cofounder Dr Brian Cotter, cofounder and CEO Pat Phelan, and cofounder Dr James Cotter

“Men are staying in work longer, and their colleagues are getting younger. They want to regain their peak masculine form. The guys tell us they feel more confident after their Mantox or fillers.” Dr Cotter adds the fact that most of SISU’s treatments can be done on a lunch break or just before a special event, with no downtime or need to take days off work, also goes down well with patients.

This is reflected in SISU Clinics’ new branding: ‘Sisu’ is a Finnish word suggesting resilience, strength and perseverance. “It’s a perfect fit for what we deliver to our patients,” Dr Cotter says. “Everyone deserves to look and feel like the best version of themselves. Our doctors are here to make it happen.”

Female or male, Dr Cotter reveals the goal is the same: to look like themselves, only better. “Most people come to SISU seeking a refreshed, more youthful look - not a drastic,

obvious result,” he notes. “Patients say it gives them a huge confidence boost at work, home and in their social lives.”

BOTOX ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS Remarkably effective at eliminating lines and wrinkles, especially in the forehead, around the eyes (‘crow’s feet’), and frown lines (‘elevens’) between the eyes. Botox is superb at lifting and smoothing any wrinkled, saggy skin including the neck and décolletage (cleavage). SISU’s doctors use Botox in their LA Liquid Face Lift (see promotion details above) and Nefertiti Neck Lift, among other treatments. Also reduces excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) and migraines.

DERMAL FILLER INJECTIONS Dermal fillers smooth, volumise, and add definition where skin is sunken, drooping, lined, or causing unflattering shadows. SISU’s doctors use injectable dermal fillers in Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty (nose job) and treatments to eliminate marionette lines around the mouth, fill in nasolabial folds around the nose, eliminate dark circles, restore volume to sunken undereyes, and address obvious neck bands.

LIP FILLERS Lip fillers are used to give lips volume, definition, and a more flattering shape. SISU’s doctors cater for every age group and aesthetic goal, specialising in both natural-look fillers and the glam style popular with celebrities and social media influencers.

CLINICAL SKINCARE

Garden Magic Words: Debby Looney

Is it still worth putting in summer plants? I think we can all agree that our petunias, geraniums and summer bedding have never looked as well as this year. However, some plants have exhausted themselves. I have pulled all my tagetes and surfinias out at this stage, and many pots are looking shabby. Is it still worth putting in summer plants? Well, a quick fix, if you need it, is always the geranium. You will still get plenty of pleasure out of geraniums, busy lizzies and begonias – they will last until the first frosts. However, if you are looking for something which is long lasting and will take you through the winter, consider an alternative such as topiary trees. Lollipops are very practical, euonymus, bay tree, buxus, conifers, photinias (red robin), or holly trees. You can plant them into your pot and underplant with seasonal bedding throughout the year. Cone-shaped topiary is also popular. Again, buxus are low maintenance and very affordable. Spiral and stepped lollipops are also interesting choices but require more maintenance to keep them in the correct shape. New Zealand flax, phormium, are also great in pots, as are cordylines. ‘Torbay dazzler’ is a particular beauty, having pink, green and burgundy striped leaves.Hebes are nice plants, staying ever-

green in the winter and flowering purple or pink in the summer. ‘Rhubarb custard’ and ‘Black beauty’ are good varieties to try. Some less obvious choices are grasses. For example, stipa gigantica stays evergreen, and has beautiful tall ‘flowers’ throughout the summer. Pennisetum varieties are not altogether evergreen, but their colourful brushy flower heads are a joy in the summer. There are many ferns available also, tree ferns are very suitable for pots, as you can easily protect them from harsh winter weather. Nandina domestica, also known as false bamboo, or holy bamboo, is a spectacular plant with it’s feathery foliage, graceful habit, white flowers, red berries and changing colours. It should be a lot more popular than it is! If you are hoping to keep your pots looking good until the end of autumn, make sure to keep feeding regularly. I recommend an all-purpose food rather

than tomato food, which is the popular choice. An all-purpose food, such as Miracle Gro or Phostrogen, keeps the whole plant healthy, from root to tip, as opposed to tomato food, which really only forces flowering at the expense of all else. It causes plants to push themselves to flower, causing exhaustion much sooner than is necessary. A problem this year, I think due to the beautiful weather, is caterpillars. Unfortunately, the damage is often done before you realise you’ve had visitors, but if you do see the caterpillars on time, it is easy to pick them off. Alternatively, a product such as Provado Bug Killer will kill them. I notice that many bedding plants are still for sale, and of course they are always a cheap, quick filler. Winter pansies and violas are also for sale already and while these are an excellent choice, they might become lanky if the weather gets warm in August. They can be cut back, and will then come back stronger!

has a reputation for high profit margins, currently cashes in around €17,000 per car – almost twice what Mercedes-Benz, Audi and BMW make. The biggest loser, according to Dudenhoffer, is Bentley who instead of making money on each car it sells, currently loses €17,000 on every Mulsanne or Continental GT it shifts. Tesla is another loss-leading car-maker says the economics professor, with the Model 3, S and X all costing its car maker €11,000 for every sale.

Tesla Adds ‘Party & Camper Mode’ To Model 3, S And X

FASTFINDER

Tesla chief executive Elon Musk has announced the Tesla Model 3, Model S and Model X will soon receive an over-the-air update that will add a “Party & Camper mode” to their infotainment repertoire. The new features, designed for people who take weekend camping trips with their

pure-electric vehicles, allows the battery pack to keep powering the car’s air-conditioning or heating, selected interior lights, sound system and power outlets for 48 hours or more. This, the car-maker hopes, will allow its vehicles to be used as impromptu camper vans in hot or cold climates.

Hyundai

Future Hyundais to be “sexier than Alfa Romeos” Hyundai’s VP for design SangYup Lee has declared that from next year all new Hyundai models will be “sexier than Alfa Romeos”. In an interview that declares that the Korean car-maker is on the verge of revolutionising its car design, Lee - who was responsible for penning the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro concept and the C6 Corvette Stingray while working for GM and the EXP 10 Speed 6 concept during his time at Bentley - told Automotive News a sea of change is coming to Hyundai design. Confirming Hyundai would next year introduce its first car inspired by the 2018 Geneva motor show Le Fil Rouge’s “sensuous sportiness”

design language, the senior exec confirmed Hyundai had ditched its Russian doll approach to styling but said the car-maker’s trademark ‘cascading’ grille won’t be going anywhere. Instead, Lee claims every model it produces will have a “unique take” on its new design language and that, in most cases, will see Hyundai overtake Italian car-maker Alfa for emotional appeal. Responding to a question that asked what people would think of Hyundai in 10 years from now, the Korean car-maker’s design boss said he’d like people to say: “Hyundai has some sexy cars - sexier than Alfa Romeo. That is the message I’d like to give to the world”.

Prince Harry’s Audi RS 6 for sale

Monarchists rejoice! A chunk of high-performance history is now on sale in the UK in the form of a pristine 2017 Audi RS 6 Avant, which was allegedly owned by a prince of the United Kingdom. The 4.0-litre twin-turbo all-wheel drive beast is advertised as “Prince Harry’s old car” on a UK classified ad site, and although there’s no way to check its provenance (this side of a DNA swab test of the steering wheel), the prince has shown a

liking to German culture in the past. Despite an asking price that’s significantly less than the then-new price of a 2017 Audi RS6, the 280km/h super-wagon appears to be in very good condition. That means Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, will probably be getting around in a Range Rover from now on. The regal chariot has been pimped out with loads of extras too, including night visions and dynamic ride control, the latter no doubt chosen for the

odd time that Prince Harry ferried around Madge – her Royal Majesty the Queen – and didn’t want her jostled about on crumbly Westminster roads. The British Royal family is not short of cash and has had some rather tasty machinery in its stables, including pretty much every top-shelf British car you can think of from Land Rover and Aston Martin to Bentley and Rolls-Royce.

HEARNE

Somewhere beyond the sunset, Where loved ones never die, You sleep in a beautiful garden, Beneath a golden sky, Though Heaven and earth divide us, We are never far apart, For you are always in my thoughts, And forever in my heart. Wrap your arms around her Lord, Don’t leave her on her own, For it is her Anniversary, And she can’t come home. Call her name softly, And when she looks your way, Tell her that I love her, And miss her everyday. Always remembered by Dave. xxx

PRAYER TO ST. JOSEPH O St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God, I place in you all my interest and desires. O St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession, and obtain for me from your divine Son all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. So that, having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers. O, St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating you, and Jesus asleep in our arms; I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me and ask Him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, Patron of departing souls pray for me. This prayer was found in the fiftieth year of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. In 1505 it was sent from the Pope to Emperor Charles when he was going into battle. Who ever shall read this prayer or hear it or keep it about themselves, shall never die a sudden death, or be drowned, nor shall be burned in any fire or shall be overpowered in battle. Say for nine mornings for anything you desire. It has never been known to fail, so be sure you really want what you ask for. In thanks for request granted.

We hold you close within our hearts, And there you shall remain, To walk with us throughout our lives, Until we meet again.

“Fans lost patience with the manager, not with the players” Words: Adam Moynihan

Eamonn Fitzmaurice’s controversial reign as Kerry manager came to an end last Saturday evening following his side’s unexpected elimination from the All-Ireland Series at the Super 8s stage. The 12-point victory over Kildare in Killarney counted for nought as Monaghan defeated Galway in the other game to consign the Kingdom to a third place finish in Group 1. To be frank, were it not for a moment of madness from Kildare forward Neill Flynn just before the break, Kerry might well have finished bottom of the table. The visitors dominated the early exchanges and were good value for their four-point half-time lead. On first viewing, Flynn’s red seemed harsh but the replays clearly showed that he swung a hand down onto Killian Young’s head. His dismissal was undoubtedly the turning point in the game and Kerry made good use of the extra man after the interval. Substitutes James O’Donoghue and Kevin McCarthy really stepped up to the mark and David Clifford was spectacular once again; he registered 2-6 as Kerry ran out 3-25 to 2-16 winners. It was an unusual scene. The players

on the field were trying their best to lift the crowd but the crowd knew something they didn’t: Monaghan were comfortably beating Galway in Salthill. As Kerry were putting Kildare to the sword in the closing minutes, supporters were already filtering down the Sandpit cursing Galway and, in many cases, the soon-to-be-departed manager to boot. When the groups were decided and the fixtures set, we were worried that the Kerry v Kildare game would be a bit of a damp squib. We were right, but for the wrong reasons. Fitzmaurice stepped down later that evening, saying a new voice and a new direction would be good for the team. “I think that by taking me out of the equation,” he said, “it can remove some of the over the top negativity that was coming at the team, which I feel was unfair.” Tony Leen of the Irish Examiner put it to him that even if Jesus Christ himself came down and managed Kerry, there’d still be the same criticism if they’re not winning. Fitzmaurice hesitated. “Yeah… I think you can take criti-

cism… but I think if

you’re being patient there shouldn’t be over the top criticism when you have a young team. There has to be a realisation within the county that we need to give them a bit of space, a bit of time, and maybe try the positive stance and see how that works.” I don’t fully buy into that to be honest. Yes, there was criticism in the wake of the Galway and Monaghan games but 95% of it was aimed at the management. The general consensus was that the youngest players, the likes of Clifford, Seán O’Shea and Gavin White, whom Fitzmaurice specifically mentioned in his press conference, were the least of our worries. I agree that it can’t have been ideal for them to have witnessed all the negativity this year but but they’re not stupid, they know who the bulk of the criticism was

aimed at. Fitzmaurice called for patience with the kids but people were patient with the kids. No one was expecting an All-Ireland this year. No one expected David Clifford to be so influential. There was widespread acceptance that it was going to take time. But there’s a big difference in Kerry between simply not winning an All-Ireland and getting outplayed by Galway, Monaghan and Kildare (for 35 minutes) in consecutive championship outings. Ultimately, people lost patience with the manager, not with the players. You can talk about young players all day long but the reality of the situation is that Kerry barely finished third in a group containing a trio of teams who have two All-Irelands between them in the past half a century. With the talent that Kerry have in their ranks at the moment, you simply cannot justify the side’s performances in the Super 8s. Many people have come out in the past few days to defend Eamonn Fitzmaurice, saying that he’s a great Kerry man and he didn’t deserve the criticism he got. I agree 100% that he has been a great servant and we should be grateful for all his hard

work. He took the job on without any financial gain and he has given countless hours of his life to Kerry football. I’ve no doubt that his intentions were always good and that he tried his level best to bring success to the county. But to say that he, or any intercounty manager, shouldn’t be criticised is wrong. If you take on a job like managing the Kerry football team, you have to accept that criticism is part and parcel of the gig. Of course there’s a line that shouldn’t be crossed and personal insults and hurtful anonymous letters are unacceptable, that should go without saying. The Finuge man was on the receiving end of both and that’s disappointing but you have to look at the people responsible for these attacks. Can you imagine how sad a person would need to be to send hate mail to the manager of a football team? In the last couple of days, people seem to be lumping criticism and hate mail into the same category. “All this criticism and hate mail is out of line.” They’re not the same thing. As long as it’s not personal, you have to take it on the chin. In fairness to Fitzmaurice, I think he did take it

on the chin throughout his term in the hot seat and he always carried himself with an air of dignity. Unfortunately it didn’t really work out for him in the end but I think any manager who wins an All-Ireland will be fondly remembered in Kerry (once the dust settles). Now it’s time for someone else to put themselves in the firing line and Peter Keane appears to be the early front-runner for the post. He has done a great job with the minors and people who have worked with him speak very highly of him indeed. He seems like the obvious choice at the moment. Plenty of other names have been thrown around, including the likes of Jack O’Connor, Maurice Fitz and Séamus Moynihan, but the one who stands out for me is Pat O’Shea. He seems to be very committed to his club so the County Board might have their work cut out in convincing him to come back but what he has done with the Crokes is exceptional. I think he’d be the right man to mould this young but unquestionably gifted

team into the powerhouse we know they can become. And as a Legion man I think the Crokes are due a good, long transition period. Main Pic: Brendan Moran/Sportsfile.

Fitzmaurice Bows Out After A String Of Poor Calls

Words: Eamonn Fitzgerald

Eamonn Fitzmaurice, manager of the Kerry senior football team, has stepped down as team boss. He addressed his players in the dressing room after they had beaten Kildare in their final game. Although they defeated Kildare in the Stadium 3-25 to 2-16, the result in Salthill did not fall the right way for Kerry. Galway needed to defeat Monaghan but they played very poorly and Monaghan won by 16 points to 8. Monaghan and Galway are now through to the All-Ireland semi-finals. Fitzmaurice told the players that he had given his all to the position for the past six years and felt it was time to move on. During his tenure of office he delivered six Munster SFCs, one National League and that all-important Sam Maguire in 2014. In most counties that would count as a wonderful record but not so in Kerry where All-Irelands won is what counts. He has been appointed principal of Pobalscoil Chorca Dhuibhne, an onerous job, so surely this factored into his decision. When he announced his retirement as Kerry football manager to the assembled press gathering, he said that the foundations are there for the future. He added that a change of voice and a change of direction will be good for the future of Kerry football. This team is in transition. For the opening game versus Clare he named no less than seven debutants and that was very significant. They sailed through that game and inflicted a very heavy

defeat on Cork. On to Croke Park where they met Galway and lost that game. Galway were no world-beaters and Fitzmaurice was well aware of that. He could not account for such a poor display by Kerry. That was the low point for him. They also played second fiddle to Monaghan in Clones, finishing with 1-2 without reply. David Clifford’s last minute goal earned them a draw. It was a welcome reprieve for the beleaguered Kerry boss. Last Saturday’s match versus Kildare was must-win and they duly delivered but Galway did not do any favours so Monaghan go through. It was the first time in his six-year tenure that Kerry failed to make it to the last four. Give Fitzmaurice full credit for giving youth its fling and blooding so many young players for the future. Remember he had high profile selectors, all proven All-Ireland winners in their playing days: Mikey Sheehy, Liam Hassett and Maurice Fitzgerald. That was a very strong backroom team but once the players went into action I felt that Fitzmaurice made some poor calls. He welcomed Paul Galvin back from retirement when he was well past his best. The optics were also wrong there because of the family relation. He took off James O’Donoghue and Paul Geaney in Croke Park when they were the best chances for scores. Killian Young was out of football for over a year and was well past his best. We saw that in the Kildare game where Young was well beaten by Paul Cribben who scored five points from play.

There seemed to be no plan B for games where they were struggling. A case in point was Saturday last. The game plan was to loft high balls into the square where Kieran Donaghy should be at his best. This did not work out as David Hyland won every ball in this duel. The selectors waited until half time before they made the changes. They were four points in arrears at that juncture. James O’Donoghue and Kevin McCarthy came on for Donaghy and Young. They should have made those changes much earlier in the half. The subs did very well and changed the game to plan B. Neil Flynn was red carded in the 32nd minute and from the TV viewing it seemed more like a yellow card offence. Down to 14 men, Kildare struggled and once again David Clifford showed his class. He scored 2-6 which included a penalty after David Moran was brought down in the square. Kildare ended the game with 12 men. Mick O’Grady got a red card in stoppage time and Paddy Brophy was carded in the same period. At that stage they had used up all their subs. There won’t be any hurry appointing a successor to Eamonn Fitzmaurice. Jack O’Connor was a frontrunner until his under 20 team was beaten for the second year in a row. He could end up managing Kildare now that Cian O’Neill’s term is up and he will be moving to other pastures. Peter Keane is my choice for the Kerry job.

Legion Juniors Claim Division 1 Title Words: Adam Moynihan The Killarney Legion juniors were crowned County League Division 1 champions following a hard-fought victory over John Mitchels in Tralee last Thursday evening. I was playing in this one myself despite wrapping up last week’s Advertiser at 7.01pm – the game was at 7.30pm at John Mitchels’ pitch. I had to get dropped off at the side of the road and hop the fence around two minutes before throw-in. Gas enough. We started well and an early Micheál Devlin goal fired us into a 1-1 to no score lead. Hampered by some poor shooting, Mitchels were unable to bridge the gap until just before half time when a couple of unforced errors allowed them to steal in

for a goal and a point. The hosts led by one at the break. The second half was fiercely contested but we just managed to get our noses in front thanks to the accurate shooting of young forwards Stephen McCarthy and Finbarr Murphy. With the gap at three and the clock running down, Mitchels needed a goal. Luckily for us, we managed to dispossess them as they were building an attack and Micheál Devlin showed his soccer skills to turn his marker and seal the victory with a classy goal. It was a nice way for Micheál to sign off: he has since departed for Washington DC where he will study and play soccer at Georgetown University.

Rugby News ... Words: Liam Murphy

The rugby pre-season continues as we await Munster’s matches over the next few weeks. In the meantime, last week Munster launched a brand new European Cup kit and a brand new alternate kit ahead of the new season. The European jersey will be used for the next two Heineken Cup campaigns, keeping in line with the past European jersey being used for two seasons. I must admit that the glittery effect from the smaller coloured boxes doesn’t appeal to me, however the new alternate jersey is class. A copper green colour which is eye-catching and a layer design “inspired by the Cliffs of Moher”, I reckon the alternate strip will outsell the new European kit. This new alternate kit will see it’s first outing in a few weeks against Exeter in Cork, a match that I’m looking forward to. In other news, Simon Zebo scored two tries in two matches with his new club Racing 92, showing that the winger is settling in well at the Paris outfit. He seems to be getting on great with old stablemate Donnacha Ryan. It’s great to see Zeebs getting on well and it will be interesting to see how he does over the season. The Super Rugby championship came to an end

(12) on 103 points. 5th: AIB team of Joe Shannon (14), Colm Cooper (15), Mike O’Donoghue (18) and Mike Brosnan (4) with 103 points. 6th: Seánie Kelliher led O’Sullivan Darcy Engineering team. 7th: Niall Huggard led Lake Hotel team. 8th: EBS Killarney. Dr Crokes would like to thank all who sponsored and entered teams, sponsored tee boxes and contributed to the raffle. Your support and generosity is greatly appreciated.

Munster Unveil New European And Alternate Kits

at the weekend with Ronan O’Gara’s Canterbury Crusaders beating South Africa’s Lions 37–18 in the final at Christchurch on Saturday. The Kiwi side were outstanding and the victory gave the Crusaders their 9th Super Rugby title. It’s great to see ROG win his first piece of silverware following on from the French championship. He is really becoming a big name in coaching circles.

Following in O’Gara’s footsteps is another Munster legend, Paul O’Connell, who signed with French outfit Stade Francais as their forwards coach. It’s an excellent move for the former Ireland and Munster captain who will join former Munster scrumhalf Mike Prendergast who is also on the coaching staff. It’s great to see the Munstermen doing so well abroad.

senior and his management team who had their squad ready and able for the final. U14 EASTY KERRY SEMI-FINAL: The u14’s had a good win against Dr.Crokes in the East Kerry semi-final. Despite dominating possession and the play in general it took them a little time to transfer their dominance onto the scoreboard. When they did get going they registered a very healthy 4-7 to 2-4 at the break. Another early goal at the start of the second half by the Legion saw the 5 goal rule invoked and this resulted in them taking points rather than goals from then on. In the end they had a comfortable winning margin which saw them qualify for the final where they meet Kilcummin. COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP: The first round county championship draw threw up an interesting pairing for us as we meet East Kerry neighbours Rathmore. Recent history shows very little between the two sides and this should be another close encounter. FIXTURE: Co.League Final Rd, Killarney Legion v Beaufort, Derreen, provisionally Sunday 19th August, time to be announced. KERRY GO OUT: Not what Kerry supporters would have thought or wanted at the start of the super 8’s but alas Kerry have a long lay-off from competitive football ahead. Great to see James get his goal and with being on the field is definitely nudging closer to himself. Well done also to Brian who performed so well on his return between the posts.
