LEGAL MATTERS CORNER
MIRIAM MC GILLICUDDY
Declan’s landlord has presented him with a residential lease to sign in relation to the property he will be renting. He is concerned about some of the terms of the lease he is not sure he understands them and is wondering what to do.
While residential lettings now have many statutory terms implied into the relationship e.g. standards of residential premises, restrictions on notice periods for termination of the letting by the landlord and limitations on rent reviews amongst other matters the fact is that it is always a good idea to have a formal residential lease in place as it establishes with clarity the legal obligations of the Landlord and Tenant in relation to the property. Moreover, while a landlord may present a lease to a tenant there may be room for further negotiation of terms and thus it would be advisable for Declan to seek specific advice from a solicitor on the terms of the lease. While many residential leases are standard a landlord from experiences of letting may have brought in his own specific terms from situations that arose for him/her over the years.
Having said all that there are a few items that a tenant needs to look out for.
1. Are contents included? If so, are they listed and are the listed items all in the property.
2. What are the obligations in relation to repair, maintenance, and making good losses on the property.
3. How much of a deposit is payable and what are conditions on which the Landlord may keep all or part of the deposit.
4. What are the provisions in relation to the tenants’ contents are they are the tenants own risk in which case Declan may need to insure these contents separately. What are the terms in relation to insurance who covers what?
5. Are there any additional costs e.g., refuse, Local Property Tax, utilities, alarm fee etc.
6. Are pets allowed and if so, are there conditions in relation to same.
7. If the property has a management company looking after common areas, there may be certain rules that need to be abided by.
8. Is there a parking space with the property?
Are there stipulations allowing the landlord to access the property and if so, what are they.
9. If something goes wrong on the property who sorts it out. Is the obligation on the landlord in relation to repair and maintenance?
All the above are only some of the items one needs to look out for in relation to a residential lease as many of these leases have varied terms independent legal advice is always recommended.

Remembering Margaret ...Lovely Piece by the Rose of Tralee International Festival this week
This International Women’s Day we’re celebrating Rose of Tralee trailblazers from throughout the years. Margaret Dwyer became one of the first members of the festival committee in 1959. She became the first female president of the Festival in 1970 and under her stewardship came a successful new approach to attract more sponsorship and State support for the growth and development of the festival. This helped pave the way to make the Rose of Tralee one of Ireland’s most famous and successful family festivals to the present day. Ms Dwyer, who was 97 when she passed away in 2016, was originally from the New York but her mother hailed from Tralee. Her husband was killed in Germany during the Second World War and she decided to move to Tralee with her two sons, Ryle and Sean. During the war, Ms
Dwyer worker as a radio telephone operator with AT&T, talking regularly with both US president Franklin D Roosevelt and the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. With the highest security clearance, she listened to every conversation to ensure atmospheric conditions did not garble the trans-Atlantic phone calls between the world leaders. The contribution of Ms Dwyer to the development, growth and longterm success of the Rose of Tralee from 1959 to 2003 and, indeed, to the town of Tralee through her role in the local business sector, has been immense. Having received the freedom of Tralee, her contribution was once again acknowledged in 2012 when she became the first honorary member of the Tralee Chamber Alliance.

The Journey of the New York Rose-Bud by Lilly McDonnell
Being chosen as The Rose Bud to the New York Rose 2022, Cathrena Collins, has been such a magical experience for seven year old Lilly McDonnell from Tralee, and she is about to experience amazing chance of a lifetime. Cathrena, her Rose, has organised for Lilly to march in the St Patricks Day parade this year in New York City with her. Bursting with excitement this is more than Lilly could ever have imagined doing as a Rose Bud and I cannot wait to go. This will be my first time in New York.
Since the Rose of Tralee festival Lilly has been quite busy. The Achill Link Magazine in Achill, Co. Mayo asked Lilly to write a piece on her experience as a Rose Bud and
published this at Christmas. Lilly has strong Mayo connections and likes to spend her holidays in Mayo. Rachel the Rose of Tralee visited Lillys school in January and Lilly got to greet her when she arrived and was on stage with her. Lilly is a second class pupil of Gaelscoil Mhic Easminn here in Tralee.
Lilly and Cathrena have remained in close contact since the Rose of Tralee and they have developed a lovely friendship. Cathrena had invited Lilly to come to New York but Lilly could never have imagined it would be on such a big occasion. The Rose of Tralee itself was magical with five days of fun filled experiences??

What is a 'Vampire facial? (aka Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment)
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment is a medical procedure that has gained popularity in recent years due to its effectiveness in treating various musculoskeletal injuries and conditions. PRP is a concentration of platelets, growth factors, and cytokines that are found naturally in our blood. These substances play an essential role in the body's healing process.
During a PRP treatment, a small sample of the patient's blood is taken and processed to separate the platelets from the rest of the blood components. The resulting PRP solution is then injected into the a ected area, where the platelets and growth factors can accelerate the healing process.
PRP treatment has shown signi cant success in treating conditions such as osteoarthritis, tendonitis, ligament injuries, and muscle strains. It has also been used in cosmetic procedures, such as hair restoration and skin rejuvenation to reduce the appearance of ne lines and wrinkles and tighten skin.
One of the bene ts of PRP treatment is that it is a non-invasive procedure with minimal side e ects. Patients can usually resume their normal activities immediately after the treatment. Additionally, PRP treatment is a natural alternative to other medical interventions that may have more signi cant side e ects or risks.
While PRP treatment has shown signi cant success in treating many conditions, it may not be suitable for everyone. Patients should discuss their medical history and any underlying conditions with their doctor before undergoing PRP treatment.
In conclusion, PRP treatment is a safe and e ective procedure that can accelerate the body's natural healing process. It is a promising option for patients with various conditions and injuries including skin laxity and hair loss However, it is essential to consult with a healthcare professional to determine if PRP treatment is the right choice for you.

CAN HEARTBURN DRUGS LEAD TO VITAMIN B-12 DEFICIENCY?
• When stomach acid flows backward into the tube that connects your throat to your stomach (oesophagus), it's referred to as acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). You might experience chest burning during an attack of acid reflux (heartburn). This may happen after a large meal, drinking coffee or alcohol, or both.
• Heartburn medicines work by suppressing stomach acid or neutralising acid once it has formed.
• Blocking stomach acid and other secretions may also prevent B-12 absorption.
• Some studies have discovered a link between heartburn medications and an increased risk of vitamin B-12 deficiency.
WHY IS THIS SIGNIFICANT?
Undiagnosed and untreated vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to serious and sometimes irreversible complications. These can include anaemia, disorientation, neurological damage, gait disturbance, and dementia.
To varying degrees, two common GERD medications have been linked to B-12 deficiency:
H-2 receptor blockers.
• Cimetidine, famotidine, and ranitidine are some examples.
Proton pump inhibitors.
• Omeprazole, esomeprazole, and lansoprazole are some examples.
When either type of medication was taken daily for two years or more, the risk of vitamin B12 deficiency increased significantly.
Speak with your doctor if you're worried about your vitamin B-12 intake. Ask your doctor if you should take a vitamin B-12 supplement or if you should take a reduced dose of your medication if low B-12 levels are a problem.

BBC channels set to disappear from set-top-boxes
If you have a old sky box or a free to air box and you have noticed that you are beginning to loos BBC channels this because The BBC are turning o their standard de nition channels and then replace them with high de nition channels only. That means that the BBC channels will leave the SD only set-top-boxes. So in order for you to continue watching BBC Channels is to upgrade to a High de nition Box. I would recommend getting a freesat box as it gives you a 7 day guide and updates the frequencies automatically so you don’t lose channels

LAUGHTER ....THE BEST MEDICINE !
AHHHH, OLD ROMANCE . . .
Janet was lying in bed one night. Art was falling asleep, but Janet was in a romantic mood and wanted to talk. She said: “You used to hold my hand when we were courting.”
Wearily he reached across, held her hand for a second and tried to get back to sleep. A few moments later she said: “Then you used to kiss me.
Mildly irritated, he reached across, gave her a peck on the cheek and settled down to sleep. Thirty seconds later she said: “Then you used to bite my neck.”
Angrily, Art threw back the bed clothes and got out of bed.
“Where are you going?” Janet asked. “To get my teeth!”

IN MEMORY
Warriors pass UCD test!
Garvey’s Tralee Warriors strengthened their chances of securing a place in the Super League playoffs with an 88-70 victory over UCD Marian. The Warriors dominated the game with relentless offensive plays, hitting scores from all angles and leaving their rivals struggling to keep up. Daniel Jokubaitis and Jonathan Jean turned the first quarter into a private three-point duel, hitting a combined eleven three pointers. However, Jean kept the hosts in the game early on as the Warriors set about imposing themselves on the contest.
At the long break, Marian had a 40-35 lead, and it seemed they were still the team to beat. However, the half-time break reinvigorated the Warriors, and they came out with an offensive assault on the Marian rear-guard, effectively putting the contest beyond the reach of the college side. The equation for Warriors has become a little clearer and more favorable after the action over the weekend. With defeat in Tallaght, EnergyWise Ireland Neptune is now on the same number of wins as Warriors going into the final round game next weekend.
As it stands, the winners of the final game showdown in Tralee next week will make the playoffs. A bumper crowd is expected at the Tralee Sports Complex, and tip-off next Saturday night is at 7.30 pm. It was a good night at the office for John Dowling’s charges, and next Saturday night has the potential to be even better. The Warriors’ victory over Marian puts them in an advantageous position, and they will look to maintain their momentum in the final game showdown.
