“We’re doing everything we can to get him home to Poland” GoFundMe page set up for tragic cyclist who died on Sunday | By Michelle Crean Killarney hotel staff, who are still shocked at the tragic death of their friend and work colleague killed whilst cycling to work on Sunday, have vowed to raise funds to get him home to his native Poland.

A GoFundMe page was set up for 45-year-old Mariusz Kryszak, who died at approximately 8am when struck by a car while cycling on the Gap of Dunloe Road near Beaufort.

The Polish native, who had been on his way to work at the Dunloe Hotel & Gardens, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Garda forensic collision investigators and scenes of crime officers examined the crash site and the road was closed for a number of hours with local diversions in place. The driver of the car was uninjured and Killarney Gardaí are continuing to appeal for witnesses.

General Manager of the Dunloe Hotel & Gardens, Jason Clifford, said that staff at the hotel are still shocked as they try to come to terms with the devastating

news.

On Wednesday, a GoFundMe page: Mariusz Kryszak Memorial Fund was set up, and in less that 24 hours raised almost €8,000, with over 150 donations and 164 Facebook shares.

The funds will be used to help his daughter Sandra and the Kryszak family repatriate their loved one back to Poland.

“We’re doing everything we can to get him home to Poland,” Jason Clifford

told the Killarney Advertiser yesterday (Thursday).

Mariusz worked in the Dunloe Hotel & Gardens for the past 15 years, starting out as a kitchen porter before changing department to front of house. He was also a well-loved member of staff in the Europe Hotel where he worked in the spa and concierge when the Dunloe was closed during the off season.

“Everybody is devastated here at the hotel and in the Europe Hotel,” Jason said. “He was a big part of our work family here at the Dunloe. He was more of a friend than a work colleague.”

Jason added that Mariusz liked being front of house as he had a special way with people especially on a personal level.

“He was wonderful with customers. He always made time for everybody and gave people his full attention. Everybody was fond of Mariusz because of his personality. He’ll be truly missed by his work colleagues and friends. Our thoughts are with his family.”

“The place is close to my heart” Dan Tim O’Sullivan buys St Mary of the Angels farm for €2m | By Sean Moriarty The legendary Dan Tim O’Sullivan - one of the most successful Kerry businessmen in London - has paid almost €2m for the 110-acre St Mary of the Angels farm in Beaufort.

The farm, donated to the Franciscan Missionaries of the Devine Motherhood Religious Order by the Doyle family in the 1960s after their only daughter joined the Order went up for auction, in the Royal Hotel. The Order decided to sell the land to fund the retirement

of its nuns with the sale which was handled by Killarney auctioneer, Tom Spillane.

News of the sale attracted negativity in the community as it was feared the land would be sold to developers or used for non-farming purposes in an area of outstanding beauty. There were also concerns that the sale would affect the services offered by the facility which cares for special needs adults and children in the county.

Dan Tim owns one of the biggest labour supply firms in the civil engineering sectors ‘Dan Sullivan and Sons’ in London, and has around 1,500 people

on its payroll, many of whom are Kerry emigrants.

He set up the firm in 1986, and as it grew he never forget local or London-based charities and is a long-time supporter of St Mary of the Angels and its services.

“The place is close to my heart,” Dan Tim told the Killarney Advertiser yesterday (Thursday). “I had a sister there for long time.”

O’Sullivan already has farming interests near his native Foilmore. He is close to retirement and is ready to handover his London-based business to his son Timothy.

NEW OWNER: Dan Tim O'Sullivan has bought St Mary of the Angels Farm for €2m.

“This will keep me occupied, I am still a young fresh man,” he added. “But I will call in regularly to St Mary of the Angels and make sure everything is alright.”

“We are just devastated”

Father and daughter shocked at sudden death of family pet | By Michelle Crean

A Killarney father and daughter who are this week trying to come to terms with the sudden and devastating death of their beloved pet – are warning owners not to leave their dogs off the lead.

John 'Lyno' Lyne and his daughter Claire Lyne from Killarney town say they are still traumatised as they watched their beloved Westie Fletcher suffer severe and debilitating seizures hours after a walk in the National Park on Saturday, despite intensive treatment from their local vet.

They believe Fletcher died of suspected blue green algae poisoning after the happy-go-lucky and energetic dog licked stagnant water in the park – which can prove fatal to animals due to the bacteria present following a spell of dry weather.

“We were walking down the top of New Road and I left him off the lead on Saturday,” Lyno told the Killarney Advertiser.

“We came down to the entrance straight across from the cathedral and he licked something.”

However, they said after they got home and settled down to the Champions League match Fletcher started to get violently sick.

“I was lying down rubbing him as he was shaking then he started walking around on three legs,” Claire explained to the Killarney Advertiser.

“He came back and then started having full blown seizures and had blood coming from his mouth because he was biting his tongue so much.”

Claire and her father rushed Fletcher to the All Care Vet’s surgery on Park Road but as they waited for Vet Danny O’Sullivan to arrive, they had no choice but to put Fletcher into the boot for his own safety.

“We had to put Fletch in the boot as he was having so many seizures. When the vet came, he put Fletcher on a drip but said that there was a 75 percent chance he could die. Then we got a call at 4am that he had passed away.”

Now, Claire and her father want to warn others about the dangers of blue/green algea poisoning.

“We’re devastated. The house just feels empty,” Lyno said.

“He was the most beautiful dog and we just want to warn others not to leave their dog off the lead. Warning signs should be put up.”

Danny O’Sullivan added that it’s definitely poisoning of some kind and not a clinical disease as it came on the dog so suddenly.

“It’s by no means the first time we’ve seen it and extremely unlikely to be other poisoning as it has different symptoms,” Danny said.

“My advice would be to keep dogs on a lead.”

Six Killarney women vying for Kerry Rose title There is a one in three chance that the next Kerry Rose will be from Killarney.

Tomorrow night (Saturday), 18 hopefuls will go before the judges in the Ballyroe Hotel to decide who is going to represent the county at this year’s Rose of Tralee International Festival, which runs from August 23 to 27.

Teachers plan Kenya trip Three local teachers are planning to volunteer this month in Kenya – bringing with them €1,000 which was raised locally.

The Maths teachers, Sheree Murphy, Adrienne Brosnan and Emma Cronin from St Brigid's Presentation, Killarney, will be jetting off on June 12 next as volunteers with the Kenya Education Project.

The project, founded in 2003, is based in the slum village of Embulbul, 25km south of Nairobi, where there are many homes without running water or electricity and very poor sanitation.

On Wednesday, May 22 in the Deenagh River the teachers held a duck race where

students and staff of St Brigid's sponsored a rubber duck and it helped to raise over €1,000.

“It proved to be a very enjoyable day as well as raising vital funds for the project,” Sheree Murphy said.

“The money the girls raised will help sponsor students to attend school as well as feed many children. In terms of fundraising donations, €200 will provide sponsorship for a student to attend secondary school in Embulbul for a year. €100 will sponsor a child to attend primary school and provide them with a hot meal each day and €50 will feed a child in the orphan feeding programme for one month.”

Island Mass will celebrate 25 years

Locals are set to celebrate a very special event next week – the 25th annual Mass on Innisfallen Island and Abbey. | By Michelle Crean For the last quarter of a century it has become an annual tradition in Killarney with hundreds of locals once again expected to attend this year’s ceremony on Friday, June 14.

Mass will be celebrated at 6.30pm by Fr Jim Lenihan, and all are welcome to attend.

Boats leave from Ross Castle from 4.30pm onwards and it is open to all.

It is a lovely opportunity to join in prayer together with the rich tradition of the monks of old, explained Mary O’Donoghue, who originally organised the very first Mass at the time with her husband Geoffrey.

“It’s a very special Mass,” Mary told the Killarney Advertiser this week.

“It’s on the island itself and is so beautiful.”

Mary’s husband, who sadly only attended four annual Masses, before he died suddenly 21 years ago aged just 61, was a descendent of the O’Donoghues who built Ross Castle.

At the time both Mary and Geoffrey at-

tended the Charismatic Prayer Meeting together in the Pastoral Centre, Killarney.

“Geoffrey being a descendent wanted a Mass,” Mary explained. “And it was at the prayer meeting that he met Franciscan Fr Eamonn O’Driscoll who agreed to say the Mass. At the time the island owned by John McShain was handed over to the people of Killarney and the OPW had been organising the unveiling of a plaque in his memory on the island, so the Mass coincided with it. His daughter, Sr Pauline, unveiled the plaque in memory of her father and the whole thing took on a life of its own as we continued the Mass every year on the island and are now celebrating 25 years. Last year, as we were setting up for the Mass, Prince Charles flew over in his helicopter and we waved up to him.”

However, she added that a few years ago the McShain plaque, which was positioned on a pillar, disappeared and no one knows where it went.

“The plaque is gone for years now including the pillar. Whoever took it went to an awful lot of trouble.”

KENYA TRIP: Sheree Murphy, Adrienne Brosnan and Eddie Sheehy (Founder and Trustee of the Kenya Education Project) and Emma Cronin.

Hill-runner found safe and well Kerry Mountain Rescue Team (KMRT) were tasked to Shehy Mountain in the early hours of Sunday morning to search for a male hill-runner in his 40s who had failed to return home.

The alarm was raised by his worried family when he had phoned them to report becoming disorientated in an area of dense rhododendron above Glenna.

Unfortunately the man's mobile phone subsequently died and his exact position could not be determined.

Members of KMRT, assisted by Killarney Water Rescue, searched the lakeshore and the slopes above Tomies Wood and Glenna. However, the search was stood down at approximately 6am following a report that the man had safely made his way to the roadway at the Gap of Dunloe.

Killarney Cardiac Response set to expand service The people behind the Killarney Cardiac Response Unit are hopeful they can run the biggest promotional campaign of its kind in the country in an effort to raise awareness of its services and attract new volunteers. | By Sean Moriarty Killarney CRU are planning a recruitment drive to find volunteer telephone response controllers and dispatchers in the town ahead of a bigger volunteer drive in September, as well as a dedi-

cated schools’ awareness programme at the same time.

Kicking off the group’s summer promotional campaign, a street demonstration was staged on Saturday outside the Laurel’s Pub on Main Street where

volunteers showcased their skills as First Responders in heart attack or stroke emergency situations.

“There were a lot of people on the streets and the event offered high exposure for what we do,” Kevin O’Leary, CRU Scheme Coordinator, said. “We were delighted with the turnout and it provided massive exposure for where automated external defibrillators are located and the CPR services we offer.”

Killarney CRU, in association with The

Heart of Killarney, have between them placed 15 public-accessible defibrillators on the streets of Killarney and in other public locations on the outskirts of town.

The latter group is responsible, amongst other things, for the landmark traditional-style phone box defibrillator on Main Street.

Killarney CRU is a voluntary group of approximately 40 volunteers, from all sectors of society, who respond to 999/112 emergency cardiac phone calls.

They are activated once a cardiac call is made to ambulance control and cover an area of 6km from the centre of Killarney Town. The Responders have a pager/radio on them which is linked in with a control phone through the National Ambulance Service.

Duck race to make a splash in Killarney Killarney has a world class horse racing reputation, champion jockeys and trainers are part of the town’s fabric - but now townsfolk can prepare themselves for an alternative event - as Duck Racing is coming to Killarney later this month.

DUCK RACE: ‘The Great Killarney Duck Race’ will raise funds for Kilcummin National School on June 14.

‘The Great Killarney Duck Race’ will raise funds for Kilcummin National School and is ‘con-duck-ted’ by the school’s Parents Association.

The June 14 event, will see hundreds of ducks take on the challenges of the Deenagh River, Port Road, starting at the playground bridge.

Over 300 ducks are expected to enter the race and it promises to be great

‘quack’.

The Parents Association wanted to highlight a current ‘pre-duck-ament’ in the school – so organised this event to raise money to enhance existing facilities and help with the purchase of new equipment for the school.

"We were looking for a fun family event that everyone could enter and enjoy to finish off the school year," Derek O’Leary, Chairperson of the Kilcummin NS Parents Association, said. “We'll have a Best Dressed Duck costume prize for someone who makes the effort to go a bit quackers on the evening of the race.”

Fully-fledged racing ducks, with up-todate ‘me-duck-al’ records are available to buy at Kilcummin Post Office and the Dungeon Bookshop in Killarney. Organ-

isers will also have a pop up shop at the Market Cross tomorrow (Saturday) from 2pm - 4pm. Ducks can also be bought from 5.30pm - 6.30pm on the evening of the race too.

The race starts from the bridge at the playground on Port Road, across from the cathedral with the finish line at the bridge near the main entrance to Deenagh Lodge and the Demesne.

Participants can adopt a duck for €5 with first prize a one night family break in Kilkenny.

"It’s also such a good setting to run the race with clear views of the river on both banks of the river, so no excuse for not coming out to cheer on your duck," Derek, who supports the ed-duck-cation of local children, added.

THE

x

Columnist ANNE LUCEY gives her take on happenings in Killarney, Kerry and beyond

Trump is a curious figure full of self-contradictions President Donald Trump’s visit is controversial – but so was President Ronald Reagan’s in 1984 and the protests even reached Ballygobackwards (apologies to the people of Ballyporeen), where Reagan’s people hailed from.

Then, the issues were about the arms race and nuclear missiles. Women protestors arrived from peace camps like Greenham Common. Reagan’s interfering foreign policy particularly in central America was under the spotlight and the focus of severe criticism. Jesuit priests took part in a protest against him at the GPO and Bishops did not respond to invitations, and the then powerful trade unions and the Labour party were virulently against the visit to this country.

Women protestors were arrested.

Reagan’s visit to the Dáil was boycotted by a number of TDs. Among the protestors who rallied outside Dublin Castle and the Dáil on June 3 and June 4, 1984 was then Labour Senator Michael D Higgins.

He’s at it again - but this time the now President Higgin’s issue is the very trendy climate change.

The Reagan visit of course coincided with the first Green wave in Europe and once again Trump’s refusal to acknowledge climate change is to usurp the Green religion of today, which has made a comeback.

Trump is a curious figure and a figure of fun and full of self-contradictions - a cartoon figure in other words. But he represents America as surely as Obama represented it. Perhaps he is even more representative of the true American than we like to acknowledge.

I find much of the Trump bashing hard to swallow. In fact, I find it self-serving. It’s as if people are saying about themselves: “Oh, here we are liberals all, like the great American liberals, open-minded and full of human rights and fine words, and Trump does not represent America or us!”

But, as a matter of fact Trump may well be the most American of all Presidents.

He displays most of the American character traits: American brashness, or loud self–assertion. Like a lot of Americans, Trump is assertive and verbally combative, and teeming with self-confidence.

His life seems entirely devoted to making money and the pursuit of the dollar. And that too is most American. He has no idea about recycling or saving the planet’s resources - but sure why would he? Recycling is not in the Amer-

ican psyche.

Trump likes fast food, and this is so un-American, is it? Fast food is the badge of America, yet we mock this President’s liking for it.

True, the liberal in us liked Obama more. Obama was the president straight out of Disneyland for most of the western world. He was the fairytale, was witty and intelligent, and he bewitched us with words.

And he could do no wrong despite having more blood on his hands than most presidents. For the sake of ideology, or was it oil as he destroyed Libya, he was responsible for the Syrian disaster, he oversaw a disastrous drone war on Afghanistan, and he has plunged Europe into a divisive migrant crisis that is threatening this continent’s very existence, spawning far right movements from Hungary to Italy to Germany. And still we love him!

Obama courted the media – Trump bashes them. Trump tweets! And of-

ten badly!

There are frightening statistics as to how few American citizens actually have passports.

Trump, like other Americans – couldn’t care less about anywhere outside his patch, except perhaps Jerusalem, which also brings him into collision with the so-called liberal orthodoxy where Israelis can do no right and Palestinians can do no wrong.

Trump is probably the most peaceful of all American presidents in recent times, despite his refusal to do anything about the gun laws. His war is not ideological – or even real – it is all about trade and practical matters and self-preservation. And surely he deserves credit for bringing the manufacturing jobs back to his own country and taking China on, which someone badly needs to do?

He has also faced down the North Koreans and is willing to change his mind about things and meet people he criticises.

And still we hate him.. for his insularity, for wanting to keep the Mexicans out, not with a wall of missiles, mind you, but with bricks and mortar! We hate him for being fundamental in his Christian beliefs, for treating with the Russians, for being “divisive” and for his shameless wealth, for being a reality TV host, and not being in the climate change mix, for having a classy fashionable wife, and liking fast food, for loving America above all others, and being open to persuasion and compromise. In other words, we hate him for being so bloody American! We may want to open our minds and think about this.

Is it time to have a paid mountain rescue team?

Kerry Mountain Rescue Team (KMRT) have posted on Facebook about having seven call outs since May 11 last, as well as a couple of training sessions. It has made May pretty “hectic” they said. They have provided a brief summary and the callouts include a recovery operation of a man who fell to his death on the Hags Tooth Ridge, and a fall on the Devil’s Ladder, two lost on Tomies and Shehy, and two calls including a fall on Torc Mountain.

It is an incredible record and the KMRT do fantastic work. But with thousands on the mountains in Kerry alone every weekend now, far more

than even five years ago, is it not time we had our own State funded and State paid search and rescue team?

If you go onto the KMRT Facebook page, the first thing you are hit with is a request for donations. And of course they need donations to operate - no question. But really, the tax from tourists here must be huge. And surely it is time this State provided a paid rescue team, perhaps a special army unit? This would not end the spirit of volunteerism as the KMRT could assist. But the whole walking frenzy on the mountains must be addressed from an environmental as well as from a health and safety aspect and putting volunteers lives at risk.

There are far too many people on the hills these days, all on the same paths, all in massive numbers, all at one time and the mountains are simply falling down. I am not even sure anymore that we should be encouraging this abuse of the wilderness – for abuse it is when the natural environment becomes degraded. It is not confined to Kerry. That latest picture of the crowds going up the snow-capped peak of Everest tells it all. But come to Mangerton Mountain any Saturday or Sunday and you have the same long lines, or to Carrauntoohil or Mount Brandon. Soon the chasm that has been created on Mangerton will be shoulder height. Something has to be

done to end the trendiness of hiking.

Could we come up with some obscure piece of research please – though I do not encourage fake news – showing how hiking is actually bad for a person’s mental and physical well-being?

Finally, Greenways are sprouting up all over the place. Limerick will have one of the finest when it is finally completed. I have a strong feeling though they will not remain Greenways for too long. What is really needed of course is a return to light rail. I will put money that there will be pressure on these rights of way through land to return to their original purpose, maybe not tomorrow but in 10 years’ time.

And perhaps it’s not before time!

Students relieved as exams begin

Hundreds of Killarney students were amongst the 1,791 Leaving Cert and 1,953 Junior Cert students in Kerry, relieved to finally get started with their State exams on Wednesday.

It’s been a long year of study and nerves as the anxious students prepared themselves but it’s relief all round for most who were very happy with the first one, English Paper 1 on Wednesday morning.

The Killarney Advertiser caught up with many students straight after the first exam in St Brigid’s Secondary School, The Sem and Killarney Community College – with most saying they are relieved to finally get going.

Leaving Cert Higher Lever Paper 1 carried a total of 200 marks. It was divided into two sections with each carrying 100 marks.

Section one included comprehension with text one ‘What is Art For?’, text two ‘A Photographer’s Perspective’ and text three ‘Libraries: Cathedrals of Our Soul’.

In section two, students were asked to write one descriptive essay on a number of topics.

Many students from St Brigid’s Secondary came out of the exam smiling and said that they found the whole experience quite positive.

Kasia Kalka said that she was not really nervous as she was prepared for it.

“I did Higher Level and it was a manageable paper.”

Julianna Gherman sat the Higher Paper in English. “It’s not anything you can study for,” she said. “It’s comprehensions and essays. It was fine, I’m happy with it.”

Oliwia Arendarska added that she was nervous on the morning of her first exam, Higher Level English, but the nerves soon settled once she got stuck in. “I was nervous coming into it but it was a nice paper.

I hope the rest go that well!”

Meghann Cronin said that she was a bit anxious heading into her exam as it was the first one, but was glad when it got started.

“The paper was grand, you can’t really prepare for it.”

Annie O’Donoghue, who also took High Level Paper 1, added that she wasn’t nervous. “I was glad to get it over with.

It’s more the work you’ve done – you can’t really study for it.”

Alanna Carroll was also nervous and a bit

tired before taking the higher paper.

“I think it was very topical,” she said. “I did the story part of it about a young and an old person travelling through a strange land. I also did the arts section about climate, the earth being uninhabitable and you had to flee it. I’m delighted to have it over with and not have to think about it anymore.”

Students from St Brendan’s ‘The Sem’ who took Higher Level English Paper 1, included Jake Doona from Lewis Road.

“It was very open, it was very ‘you’ and allowed your own personality to come out.”

Sean Lennan from Kilcummin said he found it quite good.

“The paper is really creative orientated and allowed a lot of opportunity for personality. That is my best subject and can only go downhill from here – Paper 2 will be a lot more about knowledge and study.”

Oran O’Donoghue, Muckross added that he was also very happy with that paper because it can be finicky.

Harry Knoblauch, Clonkeen said it was a very forgiving paper with a lot of room to manoeuvre in it. “I feel very happy now and it is not a bad start.”

In Killarney Community College Lee Heffernan from Park Road sat the Ordinary Level Paper 1. “It was stressful, timewise.”

Niklodem Bauouzki from Ross Road sat the Higher Level English paper.

“The paper was good, I was free to go with 20 minutes to spare so that is a good sign and that puts my confidence at ease.

I will just relax and take it as it comes.”

Junior Certs from St Brendan’s who sat their very first State exam included Michael Mullane. “It was grand, no real surprise.”

Jade Tynan added that it was a good bit better than he thought.

“I am feeling good now so it must have been grand.”

Jack Kennealy said that he found it long.

“It was very long, a lot of writing, but it is good to get it out of the way.”

Principals report positive feedback Principals in three Killarney secondary schools reported positive feedback from students after Wednesday’s State exams began.

St Brigid’s Secondary School has 97 Leaving Cert students and 120 on the Junior Cycle.

School Principal, Roisin Moore, said the Leaving Cert paper was a positive start for all concerned.

“The English paper allowed plenty of scope and was very relatable to what is happening in the world around them,” she told the Killarney Advertiser this week.

“It certainly challenged their skills.

The Junior Cert English was very fair, but a very intense two hours for the students, while the Home Economics paper was a testing paper at times, some of it was very challenging and they seemed pushed for time.”

St Brendan’s Principal, Sean Coffey, echoed these comments for the 135 Leaving Cert students and 144 who took on the Junior Cert exams.

“Feedback on both Ordinary and Higher Level papers was positive,” he said. “The social media theme was very relevant to their lives. The Higher Level paper was all about encouraging creativity and different kinds of divergent thought.

“I also thought the junior exams were an open and creative paper. Overall, it was a positive start and will allow students to settle in and carry on in a

positive frame of mind.”

Leaving Certificate students no longer have to cope with the stress of two major subject exams in the one day, the opening English Paper 1 was followed by Home Economics on day one.

Killarney Community College also welcomed the new format where most students don’t sit two big exams each day, as was the case in the past.

“They really seemed happy enough with what came up so far,” Eilish O’Leary, Deputy Principal, said. “They are looking forward to ticking each exam off now as they come up. We would have a lot of students who had a Home Economics exam on Wednesday afternoon, but overall I think the way exams are spread out now are more beneficial to the students and they have more time to study in the afternoons.”

Junior Cert students did have a second level exam to take on opening day as the Civic, Social and Political Education exam was scheduled for Wednesday afternoon.

“The Junior Certs were a little nervous when they came in as it was their first time facing a State exam, but they seemed happy enough to turnaround and come back in the afternoon.”

Irish UN veterans receive humanitarian award Scartaglin native and Irish UN Veteran John O’Mahony, who served as a peacekeeper in Lebanon, was one of the guests of honour at Tuesday night’s annual Hugh O’Flaherty Humanitarian Award presentation.

This year, the Hugh O’Flaherty Memorial Society presented the International Humanitarian Medal to members of the Irish Army who served as peacekeepers in some of the most volatile areas in the world.

The ceremony took place in St Mary’s Church of Ireland in Killarney, and was attended by foreign ambassadors, diplomats and UN Veterans.

Councillor Niall Kelleher presented the Hugh O’Flaherty Humanitarian Award Scroll to Minister for Defence Paul Kehoe and Irish UN Veterans Chairman, Jim Casey.

“Just like the incredible humanitarian work carried out by Monsignor O’Fla-

herty over 75 years ago, the Irish Defence Forces have also brought great honour to Ireland through their participation in peacekeeping operations over the last 60 years,” Minister Paul Kehoe said.

“One of the elements that I am often struck by as Minister is the deep respect and admiration for the Irish Defence Forces right around the world.”

Cllr Kelleher added that from Lebanon to Cyprus and from El Salvador to Kosovo, Irish UN Peacekeepers have always served with diligence and distinction.

“Irish Defence Forces in particular have always been warmly welcomed wherever they have served.”

Representing the Hugh O’Flaherty Fam-

ily and Memorial Society, Judge Hugh O’Flaherty and Pearl Dineen, presented the International Humanitarian Medal to Deputy Chief of Staff Major General Kieran Brennan and Brigadier General Patrick Flynn.

“Heroes are often defined as those who give of themselves, often putting their own lives at risk for the greater good of others,” Jerry O’Grady, Society Chairman, said.

“By this measure, without seeking fame or fortune, the brave men and women of the Irish Defence Forces wearing the iconic blue beret, are truly heroes, deserving of our unbridled admiration and support.”

The award ceremony was preceded by the powerful one-man play ‘God Has No Country’ by Donal Courtney, who received a standing ovation from all present.

The final element of the award ceremony

was the presentation of a generous bursary to the Veterans Association by Donal Hickey, Vice Chair of the Muckross House Trustees Board.

Included in the audience were four members of the Raaijmakers family from the Netherlands. Their uncle Anton Musters (Fr Anselmus) was an Augustinian Priest in Rome and an active member of the Rome Escape Line. One month before the Liberation of Rome, he was captured by the Gestapo, interrogated and tortured, but refused to reveal any information on the Rome organisation. He was being transported to a prison camp in Germany when he escaped during a stopover in Florence and returned to Rome on the day of Liberation. If Fr Anselmus had given up the Rome Organisation during torture, it is probable the Msgr Hugh and many others would not have survived the war. His bravery saved the lives of many of the Escape Line organisers.

Earlier in the day, to mark the 75th anniversary of the Liberation of Rome, two symbolic trees were planted in the graveyard of the O’Connell Memorial Church in Cahersiveen, the burial place of Monsignor Hugh O’Flaherty.

Ready, set……cycle in aid of Barraduff National School! | By Michelle Crean Barraduff locals are gearing up for the 8th annual school cycle which takes place on Sunday, June 16.

The event is organised by the Parents and Friends of Barraduff National School, who have, over the last seven years hosted hundreds of cyclists who have helped raise funds to improve the teaching resources available to the pupils of Barraduff National School.

“This year we are raising funds to assist with the fit-out costs of a new Sensory Room in the school and an extension of the playground facilities,” Stephen Darmody, Chairperson of Barraduff National School Parents Association, told the Killarney Advertiser.

The cycle is an 80km route, commencing at the Community Field, Barraduff, and proceeding to Kenmare via Kilgarvan, he explained.

“At Kenmare we provide refreshments at the community centre before cyclists set off on the climb for Molls Gap where there will be a quick pit stop for fruit and water if necessary. From there it is back to John Dan’s Bar in Barraduff where there will be more refreshments to reward the cyclists for completing their challenge.

The cycle has proven a very popular event in recent years and is an ideal opportunity to tackle the Molls Gap climb in advance of the Ring of Kerry!”

Registration takes place in the community field Barraduff on Saturday, June 15 from 7pm to 8pm, and on Sunday morning from 7.30am, he added.

CYCLE: Getting ready for the 8th annual Barraduff National School cycle from front l-r were: Aimee Shine, Josh and Ryan O’Donoghue, Conor and Kate Darmody, Chloe O’Donoghue and Shannon Murphy. Back l-r: Tara Murphy, Breda O’Donoghue, Mike Murphy, Elaine Murphy, Shane O’Riordan, Marie O’Donoghue and Stephen Darmody.

Food and fun benefits St Mary of the Angels Hundreds stopped by and dug deep into their pockets on Monday at a fundraising barbeque in aid of St Mary of the Angels.

The food was flowing and there was plenty of entertainment including a guest appearance by funny man and ‘Local Gossip’ star Bernard Casey, Michael O’Brien and band, Peter Fleming and John Nolan, followed by Neily O’Connor, who was joined by Dermot Moriarty and Cathal Walshe. Then it was time for Derry and Rosie Healy, Adrian Healy and Helen Kerins and there was some dancing by guests Celtic Roots, followed

by Jer O’Shea and Giselle O’Meara who sang ‘Grace’. MC on the day was Radio Kerry’s Brendan Fuller from Killarney.

The event was organised by Denis Geaney, Derry Healy, Paddy O’Donoghue and Maurice O’Donoghue.

“Bernard Casey went down a bomb,” Denis Geaney, one of the organisers, told the Killarney Advertiser.

“He was our main act and we’re delighted he came.”

It’s the second year of the event, he added. Last year Team Geaney organised the inaugural BBQ event in aid of Ian O’Connell and also cycled the Ring of Kerry. Due to the success both years, they’re now hoping to make it an annual event.

And he added that he’d like to say thanks to all who participated on the day donating their time and efforts for free.

“We’d like to thank Jack Fitzgerald, all who performed, Maurice O’Donoghue and staff at Scotts Hotel and the chefs for the wonderful food and those who came and supported it. There was also a huge attendance from St Mary of the Angels staff and residents.”

Killarney women on the run for CF Ireland Three Killarney women went on the run last weekend to help raise funds and awareness for Cystic Fibrosis Ireland.

Lisa O’Connor and Ciara Moynihan from Kilcummin and Laura Kerrisk from Firies, were joined by two other friends, Carmel Desmond and Valda Smith, from Clonakilty for last weekend ‘s VHI Women's Mini Marathon in Dublin.

The VHI Women's Mini Marathon is Cystic Fibrosis Ireland’s biggest annual fundraising campaign, which saw hundreds of women hit the ground running to raise funds for services. Almost entirely dependent on public donations

for its work, Cystic Fibrosis Ireland is hoping to raise €100,000 for vital supports for people with cystic fibrosis.

All five women ran in memory of Lisa’s sister Michelle, who died from cystic fibrosis in 2004.

Between her death and 2014, Michelle’s friends held an annual walk in Killarney to raise funds for Cystic

Fibrosis Ireland, but as that event had not been organised for five years Lisa wanted to do something.

“This is an extension of the walks organised by Michelle’s friends,” Lisa said. “It was close to our hearts and we wanted to do something together. It was great fun and we got plenty of shout outs from people along the way.”

Gneeveguilla National School is gone to the dogs | By Sean Moriarty Parents and Friends of Gneeveguilla National School are holding a fundraiser at Tralee Greyhound Track tomorrow night (Saturday).

The school recently opened an extension which includes a sensory room and Saturday’s night event will help fund the final fit out and other activities such as school tours.

The school has secured a replica of the Champions League Cup and soccer fans will be able to get their picture taken with it on the night.

“There is a colouring competition at the school and the pictures will be displayed throughout the building,” Louise

Barry, Chair of the Parents and Friends of Gneeveguilla National School Committee, said.

“Winners will be announced on Saturday night with goody bags as the prizes.

There is also a raffle on the night with lots of lovely prizes. The evening will be a family fun event and we have even secured the Champions League Cup if anyone wishes to wear their favourite team colours on the night to have a picture taken with it.”

Louise added that only tickets bought locally from local businesses or committee members would go towards the school’s fund, and tickets bought at the gate would not support the school.

Conor Myles and Dan O’Connor,

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

OBLIGATIONS ON CLAIMANTS FOR PERSONAL INJURY ACCIDENT Under the Civil Liabilities and Courts Act, 2004, the time limit for Personal Injury actions is two years from the date of the accident.

However, recent amendments to legislation now require persons injured as a result of an accident to notify the proposed Defendant/ Respondent within one month of the date of the accident.

It is important to note however that where a Claimant does not notify the Respondent within one month this does not mean that they cannot thereafter take the claim. However, it would require the Court subsequently to enquire as to why the notification was not made within the one month period and decide if this was reasonable or not in respect of an application for the costs of the proceedings.

It is therefore of utmost importance for potential Claimants to contact their Solicitor as soon as possible after an accident with a view to serving the required notification in a timely manner.

Under the Personal Injuries Assessment Board (Amendment) Act, 2019, legislation has been enacted which provides for more cooperation between a Claimant and the Personal Injuries Assess-

ment Board in assessing compensation arising from an accident.

In situations where there has been non-compliance with request from the Injuries Board and a case subsequently is heard in Court, a Court may penalise a Claimant in respect of an application for costs in respect of the non cooperation which could for instance include non disclosure of information requested by the Injuries Board for the failure to attend medical examinations which have been arranged by the Injuries Board.

Again, it is important to note that there is no automatic penalty but the Court may enquire and may take this into account in respect of the application for costs of the proceedings.

This area of law is likely to be further subject to amendments and it is important to obtain independent legal advice as soon as possible to protect the Claimant’s position.

The above is a discussion piece only and does not purport to be legal advice and should not be relied upon as such. In respect of any specific circumstances, you should consult your solicitor to obtain specific legal advice and Terence F. Casey & Company do not accept any responsibility for any errors or omissions herein.

Mental health units opened in Killarney Two new mental health facilities were officially opened in Killarney this week.

Leawood House, Killarney is the new headquarters for the Rehabilitation and Recovery Mental Health team in South Kerry, and Tomies Hospital is located on the second floor of the Reeks Primary Care Centre in Killarney and offers services five days a week for people in the Killarney and surrounding areas who are experiencing mental health difficulties.

Mary O’Mahony, Area Director of Nursing, Kerry Mental Health Services said that while all three facilities have been open for some time, this was the first opportunity to mark their important contribution in a formal way.

“We are glad to have been in a position to provide new and refurbished facilities for the people of Kerry which has

contributed to the delivery of a safe, effective, quality service in a therapeutic environment for both service users and staff,” she said.

There has been significant investment in Mental Health Services in Kerry in recent years – the €13 million Deer Lodge unit opened in 2017 and work is almost complete on an extensive refurbishment of the Sliabh Mis Unit, which is co-located with University Hospital Kerry.

A third facility, the Fiachne Day Centre based in Kenmare Community Hospital, was also officially opened this week, and will offer services for people from Kenmare and surrounding areas who are experiencing mental health difficulties.

WEDDING OF THE WEEK

26

Catherine and Ed’s day was a true love story It really was a love story for one couple who said ‘I Do’ recently as they tied the knot in Killorglin followed by a reception in Killarney.

Catherine Teahan and Ed Wingfield had the most magical day on Saturday, May 18 as they became husband and wife in St James’ Church, Killorglin followed by a reception at The Dunloe Hotel & Gardens, Beaufort, Killarney.

Catherine, a freelance Graphic Designer and part-time musician, is originally from Langford Street, Killorglin, while Ed hails from Sheares Street, Kilmallock, Co. Limerick and works as a Software Engineer in FEXCO, Killorglin.

They were married by Fr Tom Leane PP, Dromtariffe Parish, who previously served in Killorglin Parish, and is a very close friend of Catherine’s.

“Ed and I first spotted each other on the second day of Puck Fair, August 2013,” Catherine told the Killarney Advertiser.

“Shortly after, our mutual friend Pa Browne, introduced us formally and that was it.”

The couple now live in Caragh Lake with children Eli (11) and Sam two-and-a-half, and it’s where Ed proposed out on a family walk on June 11, last year.

“We’ve had a super year organising the wedding. Ed’s stag was in Killarney and my hen was during Paddy’s weekend in Dingle this year.”

On their special day Catherine’s bridesmaids included, Helen O’Sullivan-Murphy, Catherine Foley and Jennifer Griffin. Ed’s Groomsmen were, Dan O’Mahony, Gerard O’Flaherty and Noel Doyle while young Eli O’Connor was the Junior Groomsman. Flowergirls were five-year-old twins: Lily and Daisy O’Sullivan, Pageboys: Sam Wingfield, Andrew Teahan and Luke Teahan.

After the ceremony the couple enjoyed their reception in The Dunloe Hotel & Gardens, danced the night away to Pat Fitz Wedding Band, Cork, and later tucked into some wedding cake, was made by Ed’s sister Martha Holmes.

And while there were lots of singers at the church, drinks reception and the reception - the icing on the cake Eli’s song at the offertory.

Catherine added that The Dunloe was the most amazing venue for their big day.

“From the second we met with Jason Clifford and Niamh Coakley they just blew us away with their professionalism.

They were also good fun, so from start to finish nothing was too much trouble for them. Would rate it five out of five for service, food and all round beauty.”

Norma's BIG 40!

The Village Inn Kilcummin was the place to be last Friday night, as family and friends gathered to celebrate local girl Norma Lucey’s 40 birthday.

Norma is the secretary of Killarney and District Motor Club and, as well as her family and close friends, several of her rally driving friends had gathered for the party. Also present were the cast of the 2017 Strictly Come Dancing event for the South Kerry Branch of the Irish Cancer Society that took place in INEC

in March of this year. Norma and guests had a great night dancing to popular local band The Sunday Cure, who provided the music on the night. “It was great craic,” she said. “My birthday was May 23, but I delayed a week as I wanted to tie it all in with BikeFest and make a good weekend out of it."

Claire, from Ballyhar, celebrated her birthday on Saturday night at the Torc Hotel. Her daughter Norma organised the night and invited family, friends and

of course her dancing friends to help her celebrate. “My mom goes dancing at least four nights a week, so after a family meal we met with all her dancing buddies in the Torc,” said a still hoarse Norma on Wednesday. “As you can tell from my voice we had a brilliant night." Music on the night was provided by the Eddie Lee Band with back up from well-known local accordion player Paddy Casey.

GARDEN MAGIC

Gardening - By Debby Looney

Debby is available for advice and garden consultations, just call 086 6088156 or email barnhillky@gmail.com

Hoeing is the best way to deal with weeds A stitch in time saves nine, so they say – and that saying may also be applied to weeds.

A weed pulled today saves nine years work in the future. Yes, years! As we all know, seeds remain viable for a long time, decades even! So, while our plants are growing beautifully, our weeds are too. One of the most frequent questions I am asked is, “what can I do about the weeds?” The easiest answer is spray them - though it is not always as simple as that. The quickest and safest way to keep weeds out of beds is to cover your beds with a weed suppressant known also as ‘terran’, ‘hipex’, ‘mipex’ and an assortment of other names and brands. It comes in two different qualities, a fabric, which is quite weak and suitable mainly for vegetable beds, and a thick, woven type, which is suitable for beds outside.

This is also the one you will use when covering with stones or bark mulch. There are a few drawbacks to using weed suppressant as I have found through personal experience. Firstly, the soil beneath can become compacted resulting in less air to the roots, with some plants, especially alpines and herbaceous plants, being lost. Secondly, bark mulch can result in less nitrogen being available to the plant.

This is due to it being decomposed by micro-organisms which obtain the nitrogen they need from the soil. Thirdly, herbaceous plants with a spreading habit can be lost due to waterlogging, but also due to them not finding the hole in the weed suppressant where they should be appearing in the spring. Fourthly, the problem of weed growth is not really eradicated – seeds will still blow in and take root.

These need to be pulled out, as hoeing

is not an option. Spraying is generally a second line of defence, with glyphosate being the most common poison used. It is sold under many names, round-up and gallup being most well-known, but Doff, Hytrol, and Weedol also contain glyphosate. There are also selective weed killers, such as MCPA, dicamba and 2,4-D, which are present in lawn weed killers such as hygeia lawn weed killer and Dicophar.

When spraying always use a suitable respirator; goggles, overalls and chemical proof gloves. A cloth one used for dust is not suitable. Even though weed killers are sold in colourful, cheerful packaging, they are harmful – they are poisons. Hoeing is the best way of dealing with weeds in an ideal situation, that is, where you are diligent, the weather is dry and windy, and the weeds are small. When hoeing, it is essential the roots of the weeds dry out, if there is a shower of rain, they just revive again. It is important to remember how resilient weeds are, after all they have been around a lot longer than you and I. It is also worthwhile remembering that, while we spend a lot of time talking about bees, pollinators and the importance of wildflowers, and while we spend a lot of money on wildflower seeds, which are not indigenous to this country, and therefore do not thrive, or even germinate, we also spend a lot of time, money and effort in trying to eradicate our own wild flowers. This is a sad, but unfortunately realistic state of affairs, which will hopefully turn around with education and good will. Leaving just a meter or so around the perimeter of your garden will help pollinators more than any amount spent on special plants for bees!

To date Great Ireland Experiences has been the recipient of many awards, including the National Enterprise Awards, and were also recently announced as the overall winner in the LIT, Enterprise Ireland, New Frontiers, start-up awards ceremony.

Throughout his years in the hospitality and visitor attraction sector Ivan recognised that when people visit attractions, they have questions, they want to know more about the history, the legends, the place and its people. This has led him to develop an innovative platform that addresses these challenges in an immersive and engaging way so that visitors have the best possible experience of the attraction. Great Ireland Experiences is an Experiential App for the visitor and Smart, Data Analytical Software for the attraction. It enables attractions to load

and integrate their content onto a single space while capturing rich customer data in real time. It is multi-lingual and supports 10 languages thus enabling a visitor attraction to directly target and communicate with their customer.

In essence this digital platform helps attractions increase market share, increase revenue and improve the overall customer experience.

The panel includes tourism experts, Conor Hennigan, Hennigan Hospitality Service, Brigeen O’Sullivan and Eimear McDonnell, BBS Marketing, Tina O’ Dwyer, The Tourism Space and Ivan Tuohy, Great Ireland Experiences.

Kerry hospital receives ‘Hospice Friendly’ award University Hospital Kerry (UHK) has been presented with a Hospice Friendly Hospitals (HFH) Quality Improvement Award.

Following a national callout, UHK received a grant to further develop their end-of-life and bereavement care.

The HFH Programme is an initiative of the Irish Hospice Foundation (IHF) in partnership with the Health Service Executive.

As part of the programme, UHK has been granted €1,000 to progress the project, ‘Compassionate Care-One Patient Pathway at a Time’. The aim of the project is to design and implement individualised care plans for patients at the end of life who are out in the community in Kerry and who have to attend the hospital’s Emergency Department.

The HFH initiative was established in 2007 and aims to ensure that hospitals take a strategic and focused approach to the improvement of end-of-life and bereavement care. 45 public and private hospitals are now linked with HFH including General, Maternity and Children’s hospitals.

Dr Pro Mukherjee, Consultant in Emergency at University Hospital Kerry and the project lead said that the people of

Kerry and staff at UHK have a deep commitment to ensuring when people die in the community; they do so with dignity.

“The grant from the Hospice Friendly Hospitals Programme will enable the development of the ‘Compassionate CareOne Patient Pathway at a Time’. Working together with patients, families and the community, our aim is to set up personalised care pathways that allow patients coming to the end of their lives to live their remaining days fully and as far as possible, on their terms. Níl aon tinteán mar do thinteán féin.”

Joanne Brennan, Hospice Friendly Hospitals Outreach Officer added that it is fantastic that so much great work continues to be carried out throughout Irish hospitals to help those near end of life and their families.

“Staff across the country put so much time into the HFH programme and we are very proud to give them this financial support. We will continue to work closely with hospital staff as we strive for the best end-of-life and bereavement care for all.”

By MARJAN KAMALI RELEASED: TUESDAY, JUNE 18 Roya is a dreamy, idealistic teenager living in 1953 Tehran who, amidst the political upheaval of the time, finds a literary oasis in kindly Mr Fakhri’s neighbourhood book and stationery shop. She always feels safe in his dusty store, overflowing fountain pens, shiny ink bottles, and thick pads of soft writing paper. When Mr Fakhri, with a keen instinct for a budding romance, introduces Roya to his other favourite customer – handsome Baham, who has a burning passion for justice and a love for Rumi’s poetry – she loses her heart at once. On the eve of their marriage, Roya agrees to meet Bahman at the town square, but suddenly, violence erupts and in the chaos, Bahman never shows. For weeks, Roya tries desperately to contact him, but her efforts are fruitless. With a sorrowful heart, she resigns herself to never seeing him

again. Until, more than 60 years later an accident of fate leads her back to Bahman and offers her a chance to ask him the questions that have haunted her for more than half a century.

A WEEKLY ROUND-UP OF NEWS • VIEWS FROM KERRY AND AROUND THE WORLD

INSPIRED BY DANNY CASEY

President Trump says visas for all President Trump said he is in favour of granting more visas for Irish people to stay in the US, with access to the E3 programme.

MEETING: The bilateral meeting between Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and US President Donald Trump at Shannon Airport on Wednesday.

So President Trump spent a day in Ireland this week He arrived in Shannon Airport on Wednesday afternoon and left again the following morning - before arriving again to Ireland last night (Thursday).

Apart from a very brief and awkward press conference with Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, there was nothing really official about his hit and run, except that he was clearly unprepared and equally uninterested in Irish affairs.

The most alarming aspect of this was his comments on Brexit and his complete lack of understanding on the effect a hard Brexit will have on the border in this country.

The United States, thanks to former US President Bill Clinton, is a co-guarantor of the Good Friday Agreement.

When asked about this and how a hard Brexit might be a threat to peace in Ireland, Trump dodged the question and made it all about the new British Prime Minister.

“Well, I think what’s going to happen is, over the next period of time — first, they’re going to have to see who’s going to be Prime Minister. And I think it’s a very important decision,” said Trump.

“We’ll see what happens over in the UK, because that’s going to be decision number one: who is going to be Prime Minister? And once that happens, that person

will get in and try and make a deal. And maybe if they don’t make a deal, they do it a different way.”

Varadkar challenged the President on his Brexit comments too.

“The main thing we want to avoid, of course, is a border or a wall between both sides,” said the Taoiseach.

“No, I think you do. I think you do. The way it works now is good. You want to try and keep it that way. And I know that’s a big point of contention with respect to Brexit, is your border. And I’m sure it’s going to work out well. I know they’re focused very heavily on it,” said Trump.

Not really an answer that would inspire us with confidence, but at least he did not take any sides either and that is good thing…right?

The scheme, which is currently only open to Australians, allows some 10,500 people to work legally in the US every year.

However, the Australians do not use their full allocation each year.

A proposal to extend the E3 visa scheme to Irish citizens progressed through the US Congress late last year, but ultimately failed to garner sufficient support in the Senate, after Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton blocked the measure.

Trump would be willing to have a word with Mr Cotton on our behalf, it seems.

“We almost made it last time. It was one vote; you know that. And we’re looking at that, and I’m sure that’s something we’re going to discuss. And I spoke to the one vote, who’s a great senator, by the way. And — he really is; he’s a great senator. And we think we’re going to be successful. He’s a terrific person. He doesn’t mean to do any harm — that, I can tell you. He was telling me he loves Ireland, actually. So I think we’re going to be in good shape,” said the US President. “And if we get a unanimous vote, we do something that they’ve been trying to do for a long time. So I want to do that for the people of Ireland, but I want to do it for the people that are in the United States that want this vote to happen, that happens to be of Irish descent.”

Don’t be fooled, he was only telling Varadkar and the assembled Irish media what they wanted to hear.

Trump’s €10 million security cost to the Irish taxpayer It’s been estimated that the cost of protecting the US President on his visit to Ireland could run to around €10 million.

1500 uniform Gardai were deployed from Western, Southern, South Eastern, and the Dublin Region, supported by approximately 500 members attached to specialist Units including the Emergency Response Unit, Armed Support Unit,

Public Order Unit, Water Unit (4 RIBs & Sub Aqua Divers), Dog Unit (16), Mounted Unit (10), Air Support Unit, DMR Roads Policing Escort Unit, Telecommunications Unit. There were approximately 8,500 meals each day and 40,000 bottles of water as well as 3kms of barriers, 3kms of 6ft high Heras fencing and the installation of temporary Strategic Control Room, Shannon Garda Station, backup facility at Ennis Garda Station and video

feed to Garda Headquarters.

The US President did not have to go through the same protocol and meet with Irish State officials and leaders as he did in the UK, as his trip to Ireland was not an official State visit. He did met Taoiseach Leo Varadkar for unilateral talks.

Trump arrived at Shannon Airport on Wednesday evening and used his Doonbeg Resort as his main base, before head-

ing to France for D-Day commemorations on Thursday.

Speaking on Thursday morning, ahead of this trip to Northern France, there was no time to say goodbye to Ireland.

“So, we’re going together to Normandy, and it’s going to be something really special. It looks like the weather is beautiful, but who knows; it changes fast. I think it’s going to be an incredible special day in a very special and very important place.”

Reeks District launches ‘Big Five’ outdoor adventures A new initiative could bring a lot more visitors to Killarney and even encourage more locals to enjoy the Reeks District.

INNOVATIVE: A supermarket in Oxford, England is trialling a new form of shopping that will help reduce packaging.

Package free shopping goes on trial in the UK A supermarket in Oxford, England is trialling a new form of shopping that will help reduce packaging.

Waitrose has the largest number of loose fruit and vegetable lines of any national supermarket, has removed plastic wrap from its flowers and indoor plants and has launched refillable options for everything from wine to beer and cereals to coffees as well as cleaning products.

Pasta, rice, grains, couscous, lentils, cereals, dried fruit and seeds have been taken out of packaging and will be available through dispensers.

The scheme provides an automatic detergent and washing up liquid dispenser where customers will be able to refill their reusable containers.

Four different wines and four different beers will also be available on tap to take home in reusable bottles to cut down on

the use of glass bottles.

“This test has huge potential to shape how people might shop with us in the future so it will be fascinating to see which concepts our customers have an appetite for,” said Tor Harris, Head of Corporate Social Responsibility for Waitrose & Partners.

“We know we’re not perfect and have more to do, but we believe this is an innovative way to achieve something different.”

The test which started on Tuesday this week will be branded strongly with ‘Waitrose Unpacked’ across the shop to maximise awareness. It will run for a period of 11 weeks until August 18, as the supermarket seeks as much feedback as possible.

Packaged equivalents of the products will remain in their usual areas to create an effective test.

Free access to historic records A further tranche of Ireland’s historical Registers of Births, Marriages and Deaths are available online.

The public now have free access to Births from 1864 to 1918; Marriages from 1864 to 1943; and Deaths from 1878 to 1968 access via www.irishgenealogy.ie.

The latest records include those associated with people who were and continue to be highly regarded in their individual fields e.g. the birth record for acclaimed tenor Josef Locke, born Joseph McLaughlin in March 1917.

The Register of Deaths includes that of the novelist, Walter Macken who passed away on April 22, 1967; and renowned Irish poet, Patrick Kavanagh, who died on November 30, 1967.

This digitisation process is part of a joint

initiative by both Departments with records being prepared and uploaded by the Civil Registration Service and officials from the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht.

"The addition of further years of historic registers of births, marriages and deaths on the website is an exciting development in family history research for Irish people here and all Irish descendants around the world,” Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Josepha Madigan TD said.

“I am delighted to announce that register images for marriages dating back to 1864 and all the way up to 1943 can now be viewed online. Deaths dating from 1878 and up to 1968 and births dating from 1864 up to 1918 are also available.”

Kerry’s Reeks District, voted one of Rough Guides top places to visit in 2019, launched the ‘Big Five’ – a collection of the biggest, best and most thrilling outdoor adventures in the country.

Activities include climbing the country’s highest mountain, Carrauntoohil (1,039m), and enjoying a night-time stand-up-paddle experience on Lough Cloon near Glencar, a remote mountain lake which sits on the edge of the only Gold Tier Dark Sky Reserve in the Northern Hemisphere and only one of three Gold Tier reserves in the world.

Other activities in the ‘Big Five’ include

cycling the Ring of the Reeks, paddling the length of Caragh Lake and surfing Inch Beach.

“The Reeks District offers something of interest for everyone – with an array of natural amenities such as the towering peaks of the MacGillicuddy’s Reeks and the two Blue Flag beaches of Rossbeigh and Inch; festivals like Puck Fair and K-Fest; and activities such as climbing, paddle boarding, biking, kayaking and surfing, that sets it apart from its surrounding towns and attractions,” Minister Brendan Griffin said.

Those taking up the ‘Big Five’ or ‘Big Five Challenge’ can also use the experience to raise money for a charity of their own, or one of the Reeks District’s chosen charities, Kerry Mountain Rescue Team or the RNLI.

New €100 and €200 bills enter the cashflow system The new €100 and €200 banknotes - the last notes in the Europa - are now in circulation.

The banknotes use new and innovative security features and are easy to check using the “feel, look and tilt” method.

At the top of the silvery stripe, a satellite hologram shows small € symbols that move around the number when the banknote is tilted and become clearer under direct light. The silvery stripe also shows a portrait of Europa, the architectural motif and a large € symbol. The new €100 and €200 banknotes also feature an enhanced emerald number. While the emerald number is present on all

the other notes of the Europa series, this enhanced version also shows € symbols inside the number.

The new €100 and €200 notes are now the same height as the €50 banknote, which makes them easier to handle and process by machines. They will also fit better in people’s wallets and last longer, as they will be subject to less wear and tear.

The €100 and €200 banknotes of the first series, like all the other denominations, will remain legal tender. They will continue to circulate alongside the new notes and will be gradually withdrawn from circulation.

Beauty - By Jill O'Donoghue

Jill is available for advice and beauty consultations, at Killarney Toning & Beauty Studio. Call 064 6632966

Anti-wrinkle injections For the last 10 years, we have been running anti-wrinkle injection clinics in the salon.

The same doctor, Dr Flynn who has a clinic in Dublin, has been with us all this time. We are lucky to have him as we are the only clinic he attends outsides his own clinics. He is very experienced in his field and only works on a client if he thinks it’s suitable. It’s extremely private and confidential. We close the studio on the day of the clinic and offer complimentary consultations to all clients to help them understand fully what is involved in the treatment and what results to expect. If you have been having these treatments for the past number of years, it’s important to remember you have increased in age and can’t possibly achieve the exact results you got the first day. However, you still do get great results. Age, skincare, and skin condition all play a factor in the end result. It may sometimes take one to two treatments to achieve the desired effect. It

always depends on the age of the client.

A 50-year-old can’t expect to achieve the same results as a 30-year-old! The main thing clients must understand is that the skin is still aging even though you can’t see the wrinkles as they have been treated. It is extremely important to continue with your facial routine and skincare at home, morning and evening.

Our skin is constantly renewing itself even with anti-wrinkle injections, so it’s important to exfoliate one to two days a week. After a treatment you must wait two weeks before your next facial. We always recommend having a glycolic peel treatment before your anti-wrinkle injection, otherwise you could end up with a shiny face effect.

Call Jill now on 064 6632966 to book your appointments or for further information.

als who design unique, luxury travel itineraries for their high net-worth international clients. “The Private Luxury Forum in Istanbul was an excellent platform to showcase our superb luxury tourism offering,” Louise Finnegan, Tourism Ireland’s Head of Business Partnership, said. “The format of one-to-one appointments provided our partners, including the Muckross Park Hotel, with a valuable opportunity to meet, and network with, luxury travel professionals and buyers from Europe and our emerging tourism markets – ensuring Kerry and Ireland are ‘top of mind’ for them in 2019 when recommending destinations to their clients.”

Local trainee chefs get five-star mentoring from world’s best Five Killarney based chefs were given the tools to become Michelin star chefs of the future – thanks to a visit from some big name industry professionals last week.

London based Kevin Burke from The Ninth, and Theo Clench from The Clove Club, mentored the local commis chefs for four days as part of Chef Collab, a movement to help young up and coming chefs. The visit culminated with a presentation of scrumptious dishes to an appreciative audience at the Backstage Bar, at the Gleneagle, on Monday night last. Chef Collab, founded by Chad Byrne who is the Head Chef at the Brehon Hotel, has had seven sold out events in Killarney, Cork and Dub-

lin since it was set up a year ago, with the help of Noel Enright from the Lake Hotel. “I want good mentor chefs that want to see other chefs do well,” Chad told the Killarney Advertiser. “We have a similar event in Cork in July and have a waiting list of young chefs who want to take part.” The pop-up session at the Backstage bar cost €40 a head, Chad explained. “You could pay up to €250 to eat at one of these chef’s restaurants.”

CAR SERVICE CRASH REPAIRSTYRES

MOTORING

7.06.2019

Ferrari’s first hybrid electric car launched Ferrari has launched its most powerful car yet – an electric hybrid – and a Tralee man was lucky enough to be in Maranello, Italy when the covers came off.

Bugatti and Audi select Kerry for secret road trips The Ring of Kerry could be awash with exotica cars over the next few weeks if rumours in motoring circles are true.

The Bugatti Owner’s club is in Killarney this weekend as the club has chosen the southwest for its International Bugatti meeting.

Several historic versions of the French sports car are in Killarney, although the club does not issue pre-event publicity material as its members use the event as their annual holiday.

“We will be exploring the rugged Atlantic coastline and the most beautiful green countryside that Ireland has to offer. Ireland is also famous for its friendly people, folk music, Guinness, seafood, whiskey, and fishing. Wonderful roads with less traffic than much of the UK,” said the club’s official invitation.

The Bugatti T Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse was the fastest roadster in the world, reaching an averaged top speed

of 408.84km in 2013, but since then several other cars have broken this benchmark.

Next month, Audi in Germany are reportedly using the Ring of Kerry roads to introduce one of its new launches to motoring journalists from all over the world.

For two weeks in July the German firm will fly journalists into Kerry airport and send them on test drives on the roads of south Kerry. Each day of the two-week exercise will be dedicated to journalists from one particular country.

No public details are available of this event, however the firm’s new Q9 SUV is due to hit European roads for the first time later this year and it is most likely that this is the car that will showcased on Kerry roads.

The SF90 Stradale supercar was unveiled to a select invited audience at Ferrari’s head office in Marranello last week.

The SF90 Stradale is the first Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle from Ferrari - and is also the iconic Italian manufacturer’s most powerful car ever.

The car’s name is a direct reference to Scuderia Ferrari, the official name of the firm’s Formula One Grand Prix team which celebrates its 90th anniversary this year.

The SF90 Stradale has a 90° V8 turbo engine capable of delivering the highest power output of any eight-cylinder in Ferrari history. The remaining power is delivered by three electric motors, one at the rear, known as the Motor Generator Unit Kinetic (MGUK) due to

its derivation from the Formula 1 application, located between the engine and the new eight-speed dual-clutch transmission on the rear axle, and two on the front axle.

“The SF90 Stradale is the most advanced car in the range from a point of view of performance and technology,” designer Flavio Manzoni said. “The aim was to design a leading-edge extreme car capable of delivering completely unprecedented performance for a Prancing Horse production car. The SF90 Stradale slots in between the mid-rear-engine coupés, today represented by the F8 Tributo, and supercars of the likes of LaFerrari, and is the new standard-bearer for hyper-technological extreme cars brimming with future-forward content.”

Limerick Rd, Castleisland, Co Kerry, Ireland V92 WY03

Shannon Ferry celebrates 50 years The much-loved Tarbert to Killimer car ferry celebrated 50 years in business recently.

Shannon Ferries first took to the water on May 29, 1969 and since then has carried countless locals and tourists between Tarbert in North Kerry and Killimer in west Clare.

Each day the ferry sails on the hour from the Clare side and every hour on the half hour from the Kerry side. During the peak summer months the operating company puts on a second vessel ensuring there are sailings every 30 minutes

during daylight hours.

Almost 600,000 people use the service each year, around half of these are tourists.

The company has made a very significant contribution to the development of the communities north and south of the estuary, not only from a commercial and tourism point of view, but also to the social fabric of those communities.

The ferry service has created significant direct employment but also assisted in the creation of employment in other industries by providing viable access across the estuary and opening up mar-

kets, for example, the carriage of milk from Clare to Kerry Group plant in Listowel.

The primary route for tourism in the mid-west is from Killarney or Dingle to the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren or vice versa, and this has been made possible because of the ferry crossing.

From point to point it is only 4km - but the trip around the estuary is 135km.

“Obviously, a 50th Anniversary is a major milestone for our company,” Eugene Maher, Chief Executive, told the Killarney Advertiser.

“It was a brave undertaking 50 years

ago by the founding shareholders, three of which were from north of the estuary in Clare and three from south of the estuary in Kerry and Limerick, but what a success it has been.

“Little did we know then that we would become part of the National Route Network being part of the N67 and subsequently, part of what has become one of best recognised tourist routes in the world, the Wild Atlantic Way. It does make you feel proud to be part of that history and share in its success whether as an employee, stakeholder, customer, a supplier or from the local communities.”

The company is still owned by five of the original six families, which is now heading into the third generation.

Bowlers Toyota special summer offer 39158_Donagh_Hickey_Killarney_Advertiser_Kadjar_129x195_HP.indd 1

Bowlers Toyota will offer some very special 192-plate offers today (Friday) and tomorrow (Saturday) as part of its New Generation Event taking place in Toyota dealerships nationwide all this week.

For the first time, all of Toyota’s New Generation self-charging hybrid and petrol vehicles will be on display together. The Corolla Hatchback, Saloon and Touring Sport will all be on show, as well as the Camry, RAV4, Prius, Yaris, and not forgetting Ireland’s best-selling

hybrid, the Toyota C-HR. Fantastic offers will be in place during the New Generation event, for both hybrid and petrol models. With trade-in boosters of up to €3,000, APR’s from 2.9 percent on passenger cars and 1.9 percent on commercial vehicles, it has never been easier for Irish drivers to upgrade to Toyota’s New Generation models.

Toyota’s self-charging hybrids, which are in electric mode on average over 50 percent of the time, produce less harmful emissions and allow drivers to

28/05/2019 16:40

make fuel savings on every trip. As an added advantage, all Toyota hybrids are automatic cars. There has been a surge in customers switching from diesel to a self-charging hybrid in the last year and with demand high, customers are encouraged to visit their dealership early to avoid disappointment in securing a 192 Toyota.

“We have a 192 Toyota Hybrid New Generation event taking place at our garage but it ends Saturday,” Brian Bowler said. “Did you know that 80 percent of new Toyotas sold by Bowl-

ers are now hybrid. This year’s Irish Government finance bill will include changes to diesel car motor tax and VRT. Now is the time to plan ahead to move to low emission hybrid. We are open Saturday from 10am to 4pm.”

Summer 2019 also sees the return of the legendary, Land Cruiser Business model with a limited amount of first arrivals landing in July. Customers will also be able to enquire and place their orders in dealerships during the New Generation event.

Free traditional arts concerts back for a 14th season The first of this summer’s free traditional arts concerts gets underway tomorrow (Saturday night) at St Mary’s Church of Ireland, in Killarney.

FREE CONCERTS: Free traditional arts concerts in Killarney are back tomorrow (Saturday) night. Pictured is Tim O’Shea.

Spraoi Chiarrai is the collective name given to a group of young traditional musicians, singers, dancers, storytellers and performers who, for the last 14 years, have entertained locals and tourists alike with their unique shows in surreal settings.

Their first performance tomorrow night will feature sisters Maighreád Ní Lúasa (accordion) and sister Ciatriona Ní Lúasa (fiddle) from Coolea, Ballyvourney, and they will be joined by Spraoi Chiarraí producer/director Tim O’Shea (guitar/vocals/bodhrán).

After the performance there will be three more opportunities to catch the group at St Mary’s through the summer. There are also two outdoor performances planned for the grounds of

Killarney House with the first of these scheduled for July 13.

The concerts feature fiddle, Irish harp, accordion, flute, whistle, Irish uilleann pipes, guitar, harmonica, bodhrán and vocals as well as Irish dancing and storytelling (outdoor only).

All indoor concerts are at 8pm and outdoor performances are at 2pm.

“There is nothing quite like this around, it showcases two landmarks in Killarney to locals and visitors while at the same time showcasing young talent,” Tim O’Shea said. “And the youngsters get a chance to experience a real concert in a high profile setting.”

NEWS BRIEFS...

Call for Kerry people to nominate inspirational teachers Is Kerry home to some of the most inspiring teachers in Ireland? A new national initiative, Teachers Inspire, is aiming to find out.

Teachers Inspire Ireland is an initiative of Dublin City University, focused on highlighting the enormous contribution made by teachers in Irish society. It is now open for people in Kerry – and across the country – to share their personal stories of how a teacher transformed their lives and/or their community.

Stories can be submitted through the teachersinspire.ie website by June 30. The initiative will then culminate in the inaugural Teachers Inspire Ireland gala dinner on September 27, at which teachers from across the country (one from each province) will be acknowledged and celebrated. ................................................................

Birthday remembrance of Donal Tucker, Woodlawn Park, Whose Birthday occurs on 8th of June.

It’s your first birthday away from home.

I miss the strength you brought me, And the comfort that it gave, And on your Birthday it’s so hard, Pretending to be brave.

But I’ve found hidden courage, And it helps to see me through, It guides me and protects me, And I know it comes from you.

Here on earth we shared a life, As happy as could be, And I never took for granted, All you meant to me.

So I shall spend your birthday, Dreaming that you are here, Helping me to wipe away, Each silent tear.

Love you forever your heartbroken wife Eileen. xxx Dad It isn’t yet a year Dad, Since you passed away, And everyday we think of you, In such a special way.

Today it is your birthday, A day we always shared, A special day for you alone, To show how much we cared, But this year there’ll be no cake, No gift, no gathering together, No birthday kiss, no warm embrace, Those things can’t last forever, But what you’ll always have Dad, Is the love within our hearts, That special love that’s just for you, And which death can never part.

Missing you so much love always Denis, Olivia, & Gavin xxx Grandad You held our hands, When we were small, You caught us when we fell, You’re the hero of our childhood, And our later years as well.

And every time we think of you, Our hearts still fill with pride, Though we’ll always miss you Grandad, We know you’re by our side, In laughter and in sorrow, In sunshine and in rain, We know you’re watching over us, Until we meet again.

Happy Birthday Grandad, Love Lauren, Cian, Dylan, Darragh, Luke, Rory and Marc xxx

It’s just she isn’t visible to see with human eye, But talk to her in silence, And surprise her with reply.

Killarney Celtic celebrate their league final victory over Castleisland.

Killarney Celtic crowned double-double champions PREMIER A LEAGUE FINAL REPLAY _________________________________________________________________________

Killarney Celtic

1 | Castleisland 0

MOUNTHAWK PARK

Killarney Celtic are league and cup double champions for the second year in a row following a hard-fought victory over Castleisland in the Premier A final replay on Friday last. | By Adam Moynihan Nippy winger Danny Roche, who finished the season as the league’s top scorer, pounced on a rebound to give The Hoops the lead in the 27th minute and the holders were handed the ideal opportunity to double their advantage just before the break when they were awarded a penalty.

Stephen O’Mahony accepted the responsibility from the spot but Island were

handed a lifeline when experienced goalkeeper Stephen Bartlett deflected the Celtic defender’s effort to safety.

It mattered little in the end, however, as Castleisland just couldn’t find that elusive equaliser in the second half.

Captain John McDonagh accepted the league trophy on behalf of his teammates as the Killarney club secured their second league and cup double in two years. It is an incredible achievement for Celtic and there’s nothing to suggest that this par-

ticular crop of players are finished just yet.

The ever-reliable core of McDonagh, Brendan Falvey, Gary Keane, Matt Keane and Wayne Sparling continue to serve the club with great distinction and Brian Spillane’s squad has certainly been bolstered by the addition of veteran Tralee players Stephen O’Mahony and James Sugrue.

The return of talented midfielder/defender Podge O’Connor has also been a boost while up front Stephen McCarthy has really caught the eye, scoring 20 goals including two crackers in the cup final against Tralee Dynamos.

Fellow attacker Danny Roche registered an impressive tally of 22 goals in all competitions and tricky No. 10 Cathal O’Shea also made big contributions, not least in the league final when he was named Celtic’s Man of the Match.

Youngsters Ryan Kelliher and Lee Downing also played their part over the course of the long campaign and goalkeeper Roy

Kelliher was a major reason that Celtic finished up with the joint best defensive record in the division.

Remarkably, Killarney clubs have now won the double in each of the past three seasons. With Cedar Galaxy also preparing for their first ever year in the top flight, recent times have certainly proved to be fruitful for soccer in Killarney.

Celtic remain the benchmark, however, and it will take a very good team to dethrone them.

CELTIC TEAM V CASTLEISLAND: Roy Kelliher, Podge O’Connor, Stephen O’Mahony, John McDonagh, Brendan Falvey, Wayne Sparling, James Sugrue, Gary Keane, Danny Roche, Cathal O’Shea and Stephen McCarthy. Subs: Matt Keane, Ryan Kelliher and Shane Brosnan.

Unused subs: Lee Downing, Pa McGrath, Jordan Leahy, Liam Spillane, Jared Barton, Evan Looney, Conor McCarthy, Chris O’Leary, David Spillane and Adam Carey.

Is Kerry's squad deep enough to go all the way? | By Adam Moynihan

It wasn’t the most enthralling of opening day encounters but Kerry’s 2019 Munster Senior Football Championship is officially up and running following last weekend’s 1-15 to 0-12 victory over Clare.

The Kingdom, who were 1/80 pre-match favourites to advance to their seventh consecutive Munster final, bossed much of the game and led by 12 with 50 minutes on the clock. Peter Keane’s men struggled thereafter, however, and they were outscored by eight points to two down the stretch, leaving some observers a little anxious about this young team’s prospects for the rest of the summer.

Such concern might seem a bit premature, especially when you consider that conditions were poor in Cusack Park and, more importantly, the game was already won.

It’s also worth noting that a number of probable starters were, for various reasons, not on the field for that final 20 minutes or so. David Moran had been lost to a black card; Gavin Crowley, Jack Sherwood, Stephen O’Brien and James O’Donoghue had been substituted; Dara Moynihan, Paul Murphy and Jack Barry weren’t togged. It’s perhaps a little unfair level much blame at the subs for the drop-off in intensity; coming off the bench isn’t always easy.

It is also true, however, that the top teams need to finish as strongly as they start, so the 15 that Kerry have out there in the 70th minute needs to be just as good as the 15 that followed the band

around the pitch an hour and half earlier.

Keane assembled a 40-man extended panel when he took over the job but that appears to have been cut to 35 for the championship (information isn’t readily available so I’m open to correction on that). Injury is currently ruling out Peter Crowley, Kevin McCarthy and Tomás Ó Sé, Michael Potts has been released to the U20s and Shane Murphy, Mark Ryan and Tom Leo O’Sullivan are no longer training with the team.

With that in mind, let’s take a look at the 35 (or so) players who are all vying for a spot in Kerry’s 26-man matchday squad for the Munster final and beyond.

THE CANDIDATES

Shane Ryan appears to be Peter Keane’s first choice for the No. 1 shirt with Brian Kelly providing back-up. Two goalkeepers is realistically plenty for any team barring injuries and between Ryan and Kelly, Kerry should be covered.

The Kingdom have a degree of fluidity about their back line with many players capable of playing in multiple positions.

Most of the nominal corner backs can play wing back. Most of the wing backs can play corner. Guys like Tadhg Morley, Jack Sherwood and Gavin White can also play a number of positions so Peter Keane has lots of options in this depart-

ment.

The midfield area has been problematic for this burgeoning Kerry team but David Moran plus Jack Barry appears to be the most qualified pairing. After that there isn’t whole pile of experience in reserve.

Mark Griffin’s minutes at midfield have been limited while Adrian Spillane has only just made his championship debut.

Spa’s Liam Kearney is also in training at the moment and he is a player with a lot of potential, although it would be highly irregular for a newcomer to be utilised at this stage of the season having not played senior in the past. That’s not to say it wouldn’t work, just that it isn’t often attempted.

Diarmuid O’Connor has been tried out at midfield but the Na Gaeil youngster has fared a bit better at half forward so far.

Considering how well he played in the league, you would expect Dara Moynihan to come back into the starting 15 once fit and the rest of the forward line more or less picks itself at this stage. The hamstring injury picked up by James O’Donoghue against Clare is naturally a concern but management are hopeful that he will be okay for the Cork clash on June 22.

Micheál Burns came off the bench and kicked a point last weekend and that’s good news for the Crokes man, who missed the National League campaign due to club commitments.

Gavin O’Brien caught the eye in the spring but an injury picked up against Legion in the Club Championship appears to have curtailed his year somewhat,

although there is still plenty of time to change all of that yet. O’Brien’s Rahilly’s clubmate Tommy Walsh also impressed in the league and he is likely to see more game time over the course of the summer.

Legion’s Jonathan Lyne has been there or thereabouts all year (he made an appearance late on in Ennis) while Michael and Conor Geaney have also been consistent members of Peter Keane’s matchday squad throughout the 2019 campaign to date.

With all that being said, do Kerry have the strength in depth to challenge Dublin and Mayo for this year’s All-Ireland?

There’s plenty of ability at the back.

Whether or not that translates to solidity when it matters most remains to be seen but generally speaking you would have to be encouraged by Peter Keane’s defence up to this point.

Midfield is an area of concern purely because of Moran’s injury history and the lack of experience in reserve.

There is also no doubting the fact that Kerry will lean heavily on their scoring forwards (i.e. James O’Donoghue, David Clifford and Paul Geaney) and the backup in that regard is still largely unproven.

All in all, this Kerry squad is still very much a work in progress. The potential there is undeniable but some players in that depth chart aren’t quite the finished article just yet.

But if (and it’s a big ‘if’) Peter Keane can keep his star players fit, Kerry should have enough about them to make waves in this year’s championship.

DIVISION 1 PREVIEW

Crokes go west

Surprise Division 1 leaders An Ghaeltacht will be hoping to maintain their 100% record on Saturday night when they host reigning champions Dr Crokes in Round 5 of the Senior County League. | By Adam Moynihan The Gaeilgeoirs were relegated from the Kerry SFC in 2018 but they have been in savage form since turn of the year. They’ve already beaten Spa, St Mary’s, Kilcummin and Na Gaeil in the league and they also blazed through the Intermediate, defeating Brosna, Ardfert and Milltown/Castlemaine in the group phase before defeating Dromid in the semi-final.

They ultimately fell to a very strong Templenoe side in the final but there’s no denying that Pól Ó Cuinn’s side are moving well, a fact underlined by their dramatic, last gasp victory in last weekend’s Comórtas Peile na Gaeltachta.

The league has been a mixed bag for the Crokes but they will be buoyed by their recent win over Templenoe,

especially considering how many first team regulars were absent on the day.

Crokes are one of five teams who have won two and lost two so far so another victory on Saturday would put them above .500. Throw-in back west is at 7.30pm.

Elsewhere Stephen Stack’s Legion welcome Na Gaeil to Derreen at 1.30pm on Sunday, Rathmore face Templenoe in Templenoe at 2pm and Spa host near neighbours Kilcummin at the same time.

Meanwhile, Dingle host winless St Mary’s in Páirc an Ághasaigh.

Arguably the tie of the round takes place in Tralee on Saturday evening as Kerins O’Rahilly’s make the short trip across town to face bitter rivals and recently crowned senior club champions Austin Stacks.

The Ford Fiesta World Rally car that Paul Nagle and Craig Breen will use on the Donegal International Rally.

Breen and Nagle aim for Donegal victory

Rally of the Lakes winners Paul Nagle and Craig Breen have elected to forfeit their Irish Tarmac Rally Championship title aspirations in an effort to win the Donegal International Rally. | By Sean Moriarty Championship rules dictate that points are only awarded to drivers in R5 specification cars and so far this year the Killarney and Waterford team have won the four rounds they have contested in a Ford Fiesta R5.

A win in Donegal in two weeks’ time, or even being the first R5 crew over the line, would assure them the championship crown.

Individual rallies allow the more-powerful World Rally cars to enter but the drivers of such machines are not allowed to score points.

Several top drivers, especially those who

are no longer in a position to win the championship, have opted for WRC power in Donegal and this left Breen with a difficult decision to make.

Breen and Nagle are on what they call an ‘opt year’ from the World Rally Championship and remain committed to returning to the sport’s top flight as soon as possible.

Breen always had an ambition to win Ireland’s premier championship and the various rallies within the series.

He could have gone to Donegal in an R5 car, taken the class win and with it the championship.

But winning Donegal carries more kudos than the championship and as Nagle said

in the past: “We could go to Donegal in an R5 car, roll up our sleeves and have a go at winning.”

But even that would be a tall order for this talented team.

Late last week they revealed that they had sourced a Ford Fiesta World Rally car for Donegal and will return to the championship proper on the Ulster International Rally in August and the Cork 20 in September, where they will have two more opportunities to win the title.

“So finally after a lot of deliberation, Paul and I are going to Donegal with WRC power,” Breen said.

“I thought long and hard about this choice, but we have this one gap-year where we have set out to win all the rallies that as a child I dreamed of winning, and perhaps it’s an unfortunate thing, but in order to be at the sharp end of Donegal, especially this year with the huge contin-

gent of WRC cars, you need to have WRC power under your right foot.

“This coupled with the fact that it’s very clear that Paul and I are solely focused on getting back into the WRC, and perhaps a weekend back in a WRC car, albeit not the current generation, is not a bad thing.

“So yes, we will forfeit our points for our weekend’s fun in the hills, but there is still plenty of time for us to focus on the championship later in the year. To be honest, I think a weekend with all of us fighting it out in R5 cars would be amazing - but this is the way the rules are at present.”

They will drive a Ford Fiesta World Rally car from the Melvyn Evans Motorsport stable in Wales, the same car that Evans drove to second overall on last October’s Fastnet Rally in Skibbereen. The car has also been used by Welsh driver Luke Francis in British forestry events.

Nagle won’t be the first Irish co-driver to occupy the passenger seat of this rally car; Belfast’s Chris Patterson competed on such events as Wales Rally GB and Polish national rallies alongside Michal Solowow in 2013 while Corkman Seán Hayde navigated for Evans last October.

The last time the car was in Ireland was for the Cavan Stages Rally in May this year when Colin O’Rourke and Shane Gillhooly drove it to 25th overall.

C ircuit of Munster

Charlie and Johnny Hickey were the best of the locals on Sunday’s Circuit of Munster Rally. The father and son team finished 34th overall and sixth in Class 14 in their Ford Escort.

Co-driver Brian Doherty guided New York's Paul Rowley to 17th overall in their Ford Fiesta R5.

Kieran Reen won the junior element of ther rally in his Honda Civic adding to

his success on last month’s Rally of the Lakes.

Colin O’Donoghue entered in his Ford Escort Mk2 but a late mechanical problem forced him to switch to a left-handdrive Ford Fiesta at the last minute. He finished fourth in Class 16 after resorting to Rally2 rules to get to the finish.

Co-driver Dean Slattery from Headford guided Alan O’Sullivan to third in class 16A, in what was Lispole-based O’Sullivan’s first rally. They were driving a Honda Civic.
