LEGAL MATTERS CORNER MIRIAM MC GILLICUDDY ANSWERS YOUR LEGAL QUERIES

Rights of Way alert!!

Danny’s house is up a boreen in the countryside not far from town. When he bought the house, he received an affidavit being a sworn statement from the seller that they had always used the boreen for over 20 years, but he is concerned as he has heard mention in the news that there is a deadline for registration of rights of way. The road is not a public road, and it has not been taken over by the council, but he is concerned as it is the only access to his house.

An act came in in 2009 the Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Act that was trying to tidy up unregistered rights. It brought in a stipulation in relation to rights of way and other easements e.g., rights to cut turf, rights to wayleaves for water and other rights that any long user entitlement would be extinguished if it was not registered in the land registry by a certain deadline. That initial deadline was in 2012 but that was regarded as too soon, and they extended it out to 30/11/2021. If the long user right of way is not registered by that date it will be extinguished and the person exercising the right will have to build up user for another period more than 12 years before they can use the long use to register the right. This puts pressure on people up to the deadline this year to try and ensure that these unregistered rights are registered. The easiest way to do it is to ask the landowner of the land over which the right of way takes place to sign a simple Grant of Wayleave to the Right of way for in this case Danny and his successors in title. The user of the right of way would usually be for pedestrian and vehicular traffic but could also include animals as well if he has a farm. An engineer is needed to mark out the right of way on a land registry approved map and ideally Danny would ask the adjoining landowner or landowners if there are a few over which the right of way travels will they sign these Grants of Wayleave. Then his solicitor can write to the nearby landowners or their solicitor if they have appointed one to request that they sign the Grant. Danny should agree to be responsible for the independent legal advice for this. If the adjoining landowners are not agreeable to sign the Grant, then Danny will have to apply to the land registry based on his long user for a type of squatter’s title on the right of way, but the application should ideally be lodged ASAP in view of the 30th of November 2021 deadline.

KEEP YOUR BUSINESS IN TRALEE AND KEEP TRALEE IN BUSINESS!

All you need to know about The Park Festival, Tralee Frequently Asked Questions What is a pod?

All guests will have a socially distanced area INSIDE our purpose built Marquee (open sided) with Cabaret-Style table seating (Pod) seating up to 4 or up to 6 people (depending on event) so they can share the experience, entertainment and food with their family and friends safely. An added bonus is everyone will have an assigned table so you will never lose your spot.

How do Pod tickets work & what are the prices?

Due to covid restrictions, guests will be based at a picnic table with their pod throughout the event. Firstly choose your event session that suits your group. Tickets are only sold in pods of either 4 people or 6 people so you will need to group together and let one person make the booking for all of you. Due to strict limited capacity of 150 for Féis and 180 for Féile/Re:vival - only up to 4 people will be permitted entry if you have a 4-person pod ticket, or up to 6 people if you have a 6-person pod ticket. Tickets are priced differently depending on what event you attend. ​ ‘Féile’ ticket values can be redeemed with the onsite Concession Stalls for Food/ Drinks but ONLY during your time slot. This means your ticket price is FREE if you redeem your €15 ticket (exc. booking fees) for your Pod of 6 towards Ice Creams, Drinks etc. There are no single / general admission tickets available, table / pod tickets only.

Why are ye charging this year?

Annually, in June the Park Festival is an open, walk-thru event. For 2021 we have to control all aspects and capture information. We can only do this via ticketing. We are

subventing the ticket price and only charging a nominal fee of €2.50 for daytime and €5 for evening and all the Féile event tickets for 7 Days can be redeemed by your group at the food court on site. ​ What if the event cannot go ahead due to Covid-19 restrictions?

We will continue to monitor the evolving situation regarding Covid-19. Should your booking be affected by new restrictions and protocols, we will do our very best to assist in rescheduling where possible and appropriate.

Management will offer refunds beyond our normal T&C’s if new government protocols require it. Please note that only ticket prices will be refunded, any booking fees paid are non-refundable under any circumstance as they are paid to 3rd parties for the payment processing and ticketing service.

What are the Covid-19 checks on site?

You will be asked via email (check Spam) from 24 hours out from your event time to complete a Covid PreScreening eForm regarding the health & movements for you and your guests. You will not be allowed entry without this form being completed.

There will be Temperature checks, Sanitisation Stations and we will require sight of one person in your group having the Covid Tracker App on their phone. Masks must be worn while moving around the venue but not while seated.

Remember Up when your Up and down when your Down.

Can we purchase a whole pod (e.g. 4 person capacity) and have less people (e.g. 2 people)?

Yes, but you will need to cover the cost of the entire pod.

Can you put my friend’s pod next to mine?

Please ensure your group and your friends group queue close to one another and request this at the Ticket Check-In Gate and the Team will endeavor to facilitate your request and try and seat your close together.

Friday 20th August 2021

What does the ticket price include?

Ticket prices include entry to the festival site for your booked session (usually 2/3 hours), an assigned Cabaretstyle table with single seating for your pod with a full line-up of entertainment and performances plus access to festival foods and drinks.

not permitted unless it is for specific dietary / medical needs. Strictly no alcohol can be brought into the venue.

Personal belongings will be searched on arrival and any alcohol found will be confiscated on arrival. Any guests found with alcohol could face eviction from the event.

Reduced numbers are the only way such an event will be able to go ahead this summer and we are delighted to be in a position to provide this - we all miss our festivals and summer gigs - we need this!

Why is there a booking fee added?

There are charges passed on to us by 3rd party services used to process ticketing fees, transfers and credit/debit card transactions, also for the installation and maintenance of systems and software and all other costs associated with our ticketing system and its delivery. Booking fees work out at €1.50 on the €15 ticket and €1 on the €10 ticket.

What time can we arrive?

Please aim to arrive just at the start of your session time. We do not want people queuing outside; there is no need as the Stage is high, the space is large and you will see, hear and enjoy the activities regardless of your location. You can only gain access to the site for your particular session time and must vacate the park premises when advised to do so. Further info will be emailed to all ticket holders. Queuing - Do do start to que until you have all of your group together. You must enter as a Pod. Is there accommodation available?

This is a fantastic

opportunity to learn and develop from the Villarreal expertise and methodologies.” said a spokesperson from Cobh Ramblers Two players from the camp will be selected by the Villarreal CF coaches to participate in the Villarreal CF Player Training Week in Spain.

Michelle has launched Kingdom of Angels Hi Michelle, Firstly huge congratulations on publishing your second book ‘Kingdom of Angels’. Everyone recgnoises you as Interior Designer of mibeau Interiors, tell me how did this Divine journey with the Angels inspire you to write two books.

In May 2018, Michelle Keane saw a vision of Archangel Michael beside St Michael’s Well in Ballinskelligs. She knew then that “something very strange was happening me. I’ve always been a very spiritual and religious person, so it didn’t disturb me as much as you might think. I accepted it. I don’t know why I felt like that, it just felt natural within my soul.”

It’s fortunate that she did.

Because her life was about to change.

Guided by angel visions and ancestral messages, Michelle located seven natural underground springs on her home land in Knocknagoshel, County Kerry, Ireland. Inspired to follow the path her angels sent her on, Michelle opened these seven springs & discovered over 66 minerals in the water with various Friday 20th August 2021

With the knowledge she gained, she has written Kingdom of Angels, a book that will teach readers to recognise angels and divine messengers in their own lives, how to reach out to them, communicate with them and interpret what they say. Michelle has always emphasized that God communicates with all of us, and in Kingdom of Angels she teaches us clear and understandable steps that enable us to connect with our own angels.

intimate look at the mysteries of angelic interventions in human life. Part spiritual guide, part cultural history, part personal story, Kingdom of Angels recounts the roles that angels and the Divine presence have played in human lives, from the apparitions at Fatima and Lourdes, to the angelic inspiration of Mother Theresa in Calcutta, the mythic city of Gyanganj, and unexplained occurrences in the White House. Along with these accounts are specific prayers, songs and meditations to help readers connect with the angels into their own lives, learn to communicate with and interpret them, and benefit from all the blessings this will bring. In this true spiritual adventure and reference book, Michelle Keane writes about enlightened beings who can unlock the magical gifts within you. Here, you will read the power messages she received from Mother Mary.

Kingdom of Angels is Michelle Keane’s second book. It is an

This journey was recorded in her first book, The Discovery of Kingdom Water, published in 2020.

Now, Michelle has continued the journey, and brought together everything she learned and experienced to show the presence of the Divine in all our lives.

Minister Foley welcomes St John of Gods deferment Minister for Education and Kerry TD Norma Foley welcomes confirmation that St John of God Community Services has deferred their proposed exit from service provision in Kerry.This decision will ensure that vital services are maintained in a number of crucial facilities across the Kerry region.

The St John of God Community Services has agreed to take part in a sustainability impact assessment with the HSE which will provide a basis for the organisation to continue its important service delivery role in line with a reformed model

of care.

Minister Foley said: “This is welcome news for service users and their families and a positive step forward to securing the provision of vital services across Kerry. St John of God Community Services have been at the heart of communities in the county and it is right that a pathway to continue these invaluable services has been achieved.

I wish to thank my Cabinet colleague Stephen Donnelly for his continued engagement on this matter. I would also like to say a particular thank you to Minister Anne Rabbitte

who attended a meeting facilitated by me with family representatives from St Mary’s of the Angels and has ensured

that the families and guardians will continue to benefit from this service.”

Employers, if you are looking for staff, this really may interest you! Read on!

‘At Celtic School of English, we organise work placement programmes as well as English programmes for students from abroad.’ says Anne O Keefe from the school which is located in Princess St , Tralee ‘ Students are of every background, experience and English level but they really want to gain experience and practice English while they are here. All the students carry their own insurance. and they all have the Digital Covid Certificate and actually the majority are either fully vaccinated or halfway there.We have students arriving shortly and we are looking to place

them with employers ‘ says Anne .

‘They should work 6 hours a day, 5 days a week, Monday to Friday, between 9am and 6pm. However, there are some apprentices and higher level students that prefer to work a full working day as this is what they are used to in the companies that they work for in their own countries. There is some paperwork to be signed off on at some stage during the programme as it is a European Erasmus programme that the students come through, but we try to make that as painless as possible! says Anne ‘ And good news for the

employer here ..... there is no payment!

Students are funded through a European education programme.

The mix we get is excellent , you name it ..they want to come to Ireland and master their English language while gaining more work experience ....Office staff – retail – hospitality – carers – childcare – plumbers – electricians – engineers – graphic designers - everything!

So how does an employer looking for someone on a temporary basis access this program ?’ Simple says Anne , just give us a call in the school on 066-7180088 /0872275677 or email us at info@ celticschoolofenglish.com

Tralee Parnells become a Smoke Free Club As part of the GAA Healthy Clubs initiative, Tralee Parnells Hurling and Camogie Club and the GAA County Grounds at Caherslee were recently classified as smoke and vape free. The club recently erected signage funded through the GAA and the Tomar Trust to enforce this Smoke-Free policy. The club’s Health & Wellbeing Officer Caroline Somers outlined the many benefits of the initiative “Giving up smoking has many obvious physical benefits but also benefits Mental health including an increase in positive mood, improved quality of life, less stress and tension and improved sleep.

The economic benefits also helps to reduce stress.

Friday 20th August 2021

Smoking is one of the world’s biggest public health threats, killing over seven million people per year. In Ireland, there are approximately 5,500 smoking related deaths each year. There are a lot of services out there to help you quit, searching for quit smoking on the HSE website is a good place to start.”

The club would like to thank the Kerry GAA County Board, GAA Healthy Clubs and also Irish Life for supporting this initiative.

We would also like to acknowledge the support of the Tomar Trust and the Public Health Authority for funding the signs.

Here is a version I love doing ....

INGREDIENTS • • • • • • • • •

1 pound of fresh crab meat 1/2 cup (4 ounces) plus 1 tablespoon pure Irish butter, divided 1/2 cup finely chopped scallions (from 3 scallions) 1/2 cup finely chopped celery leaves (from 1 celery stalk) 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, divided 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper Pinch of cayenne pepper 1 1/2 cups fresh breadcrumbs

METHOD Preheat oven to 180C. Melt 1/2 cup butter in a medium pan over medium. Add scallions and celery leaves; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes.

Using a slotted spoon, remove mixture from pan; transfer to a plate. Add lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, white pepper, and cayenne pepper to pan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high; cook, undisturbed, until slightly reduced, about 2 minutes. Add crabmeat; cook, stirring gently, until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Transfer crabmeat mixture to 4 (12-ounce) baking dishes sprinkle with scallion mixture.

Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in pan over medium. Add breadcrumbs and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring often, until breadcrumbs are well coated with butter and slightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle breadcrumbs over crabmeat mixture.

Transfer baking dishes to preheated oven; bake until crab casseroles just begin to bubble around edges, about 20 minutes. Serve hot with tossed salad

UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP

HO GA N S FUNERAL HOME • EST. 1933

SERENITY GARDEN

Hogan's serenity garden is over 30 x 12 metres and provides a quite reflective space for families and close friends during a time of grief. The garden has its own water feature, seating and beautiful shrubs and flowers to help add to the calming nature.

HOGANS... A LITTLE HISTORY AND SEAN, THE NEW OWNER Hogans was established in 1933 by Eugene Hogan. His son Gerard took over the business and ran the funeral business until his passing in January 2020. John O'Rahilly worked alongside Gerard and has over 60 years in the business.

“Yeah, but we’re all going to sit on one side of the table.”

A MAN TAKE HIS DOG TO THE VET, AND THEN...

A man takes his Rottweiler to the vet and asks, “my dog’s cross-eyed... is there anything you can do for him?” “Well,” says the vet, “let’s have a look at him” So, he picks the dog up and examines his eyes, then teeth. Finally, he says “I’m going to have to put him down.” “Why? Because he’s cross-eyed?”

“No, because he’s really heavy.”

THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO KEEP A MARRIAGE HAPPY AND WITHOUT QUARREL But nobody knows them

KID V BARBER

A young boy enters a barber shop and the barber whispers to his customer.

‘This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch while I prove it you.’ The barber puts a dollar bill in one hand and two quarters in the other, then calls the boy over and asks, ‘Which do you want, son?’ The boy takes the quarters and leaves. ‘What did I tell you?’ said the barber. ‘That kid never learns!’

Later, when the customer leaves, he sees the same young boy coming out of the ice cream store. ‘Hey, son! May I ask you a question? Why did you take the quarters instead of the dollar bill?’ The boy licked his cone and replied, ‘Because the day I take the dollar, the game is over!’

22 TALKING SPORT WITH THE TRALEE ADVERTISER

with “The Voice” Pat Harnett

FAI NATIONAl P.R.O. OF THE YEAR EXTRA WEEK THE RIGHT CALL IN THE END: So now we know the pathway to the Sam McGuire with Tyrone being given the extra week they requested. Credit must go to the Kerry GAA hierarchy and management who got the powers that be in Croke Park out of a tricky situation by agreeing to the second postponement.

As an aside the error was made at the start of the Championship by not putting in a rule saying that if a county could not field a team because of COVID they would be given X days before the game was re-fixed.

But back to the game and if Kerry had played hardball then the GAA CCC would have to stick with their original decision to fix the game for next Saturday even though Tyrone said they would not be there. However all that’s history now.

And as it works our Kerry (presuming as we expect they beat Tyrone) will then have two weeks before the meet Mayo in the final which is ideal while Mayo will have four weeks idle.

But that won’t bother them following their excellent if unexpected, even at half time, win over 6 in a row champions Dublin.

So come September 11th whichever one of the three teams left at this are celebrating the latter stages of the 2021 Championship will live long in the memory.

Interestingly the tickets went on sale on Tuesday for the game on Saturday the 28th but the throw-in had not been confirmed! Hard for fans to be sure they can attend without knowing the throwin times.

CLUB NOTES: JOHN MITCHELS NOTES: There was a great turn-out for the u7 boys and girls and u9 boys while the u8’s and u10’s girls enjoyed their trip to Blennerville where they played a number of challenge games. The u11 boys played two games against Listry while the u12 Girls continued their winning was against Laune Rangers B. The u13 boys will playKeel/Listryin a top of the table clash. The u14/u16 girls continue their preparation for the North Kerry League.

The under 17 boys went down narrowly, by 2 points, to Na Gael in the Central League Final. They will also play Rathmore in the County League semi-final.

In the senior section the Ladies are in preparation for the North Kerry League in September while the senior men faced Rathmore in the League Relegation play-off. In the end the East Kerry side ran out easy winners 1-07 to 3-12.

Hopefully all the clubs who were planning to enter teams last season will be all set for the opening weekend of games.

SWIMMERS CROSS THE BAY: Across The Bay Challenge a Great Success: The Tralee Bay Swimming club was delighted with the success of the Across The Bay Challenge which saw 51 swimmers swim from Derrymore to Fenit. The main beneficiary again was the Fenit RNLI with some individuals also raising money for other causes.

Amongst these were The Funky Femmes – Caroline Crowley, Aisling Brosnan, Elaine Burrows Dillane and Sandra Martin who also raised money for Baile Mhuire Day Care.

The Challenge is a big logistical undertaking for the club with each swimmer accompanied by a kayaker.

Kevin Williams, who also coached many of the swimmers, said the club was delighted with the way things went and paid tribute to all the volunteers on the water and to those collecting.

He was proud of all the swimmers who got through the tough conditions. “The wind from the east made it a bit choppy and pushed the swimmers out but once they got past the St Brendan’s statue they were past the worst”. While the club is finalising the total it will be well over the e1900 that has come in.

ON THE GREENS: Tralee Pitch and Putt News: There was a great turn out for the 2021 President’s Prize , run by Theresa Broderick. The roll of honour was led by winner of the Overall Nett prize Keith O’Brien (89) with Michael Conway second one shot back.

The Overall Gross Prize was won by Alan Hobbart on 95 with Eamon Sheehy second on 101. The Foxy Hole in One was won by John Hoare on the 6th, Foxy birdies on the 16th went to Jason Creegan and the Foxy Lucy Dip was won by Kevin Magee.

The 2021Club Matchplay has reached the quarter final stages before the last 4 play the semi-finals and final over 36 holes.

All the best to the boys who go to the Lakeside course in Templemore for the 2021 National u16 Strokeplay Championships this Saturday. Amazingly 38 of the 72 entered are from Kerry.

T RQ U I N G CINA R SAND ! KEEP TRALEE IN BUSINESS! 24 O PREMIUM ADVERTISING KEEP YOUR BUSINESS TRALEE UK FIRM MOUNTUNE RELEASES 360BHP UPGRADE FOR FORD FOCUS ST

Ford tuning-specialist Mountune has released a power upgrade kit for the Focus ST hot hatch, which aims to retain the usability of the standard car while providing a significant boost in power and torque.

Called the m365 upgrade kit, it comprises a specially designed, three-inch high-flow exhaust downpipe, a sports catalyst and an upgraded exhaust gas particulate filter which, combined with a new high-flow air filter and an ECU recalibration, add 84bhp and 140Nm of torque to the standard car’s figures.

The ECU tuning makes use of Moutune’s SMARTflash mobile app, which allows users to switch the engine map between three power levels and an anti-theft setting. In the ECU’s most potent m365 mode, the full potential of the tuning kit is unlocked, with a total output of 360bhp and 560Nm. The car’s upgraded exhaust system has been designed to reduce back-pressure while maintaining acceptable emissions levels, and the kit has been designed to produce an even spread of torque over the entire rev range, to maintain the drivability of the standard Focus ST. The SMARTflash software is the most expensive element of the kit, priced at £689, with the high-performance downpipe and gas particulate filter costing £575 and £525 respectively.

The high-flow air filter is an additional £49.50, bringing the total cost of the kit to £1,838.50.Mountune already sells a 325bhp m330 upgrade package for the Focus ST, which includes the upgraded air filter and SMARTflash software. To upgrade to m365 spec, existing customers can purchase the new downpipe and gas particulate filter, and a £99 SMARTflash upgrade.

Commenting on the new m365 kit, founder of Mountune David Mountain, said: “We are delighted to launch our latest upgrade kit for the much-loved mk4 Focus ST. Ford has done a great job with the stock ST and what we have done with this m365 upgrade kit is to fully optimise the calibration with our newly engineered low-back pressure exhaust hardware – this means maximum performance is available throughout the rev-range and it’s now a seriously fast car, which is also great fun to drive, too.”

LIVE IN AN APARTMENT? WHERE’S ME CHARGER?

I have sat and whinged here about how a lack of charging points for electric cars in built-up areas such as apartment blocks was a deterrent to the purchase of the vehicles.

I despaired of ever having a charging point for myself given the awkwardness of creating outlets where I live. But something is about to be done to provide ownership/access to apartment home chargers.

So I have to get up off my bum and do something about suggesting how best to go about it. Because that is what the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) is asking people in my situation to do.

There was an interesting first step this week in the shape of a SEAI webinar with a view to garnering ideas to overcome some serious logistical challenges.

I do not have to spell it out for you how difficult it could be to cater for the charging needs of someone on the third floor, for example, of an apartment block. How do you make sure they have plenty of access? Do you provide a pool of chargers for EVs or do you provide individual outlets for some?

The SEAI expects to be able to fund 50pc-80pc of the capital work involved in bringing the energy to the building and leaving it ready for use. The remainder will have to come from the likes of special property managed cash reserves, or individuals, or through contributions from every resident. Or a mix of all sources.

Even at that level it is going to be complicated with some people arguing they should not have to pay for a facility they will not ever use.

The same goes for so many other aspects of charging apartment EVs. But at least it is going to happen. Exactly how remains to be seen. It is just great there is activity.(Independent Motoring , Eddie Cunningham )
