MIRIAM MC GILLICUDDY ANSWERS YOUR LEGAL QUERIES
Samantha with the economy improving , the wild Atlantic way and health tourism numbers to Ireland is thinking of setting up her own business from home doing Irish craft and souvenir production for local markets and selling to local businesses and is wondering what she needs to look out for in terms of legal and other regulation.
Setting up ones own business is an exciting time and for many while it is a leap into the unknown there is loads of information online and the local enterprise office with Kerry County Council available to help local entrepreneurs. On one level it is surprisingly easy to set up one’s own business getting a tax number and if one is using a special name other than one’s own name registering that special business name through www.cro.ie. All businesses should have a distinctive name to which once is accumulating goodwill. As one is building up a brand with a special look in terms of products it is a good idea to trademark one’s logo which gives a pictorial colourful look to the business. It is a theme which is then present on everything that emanates from the business, products, notepaper, invoices etc. This is quite cheap through www.patentsoffice.ie . Insurance is very important where products are involved where one is in production oneself. One way of protecting oneself down the line especially in relation to personal assets is to set up a limited company. This does involve more administrative workload but is worth it. Planning permission in relation to the home may need to be looked at as if one is setting up a production area this will probably require a planning application. In relation to products branded as Irish products there are special requirements in relation to how much they are from Ireland and importing from China and placing Irish on the label could land one in hot water.
Along with opening up a bank account for the business one will also need an accountant for advice in relation to tax returns and taking on employees and registering for VAT once turnover goes above a certain amount. It is useful to have a solicitor on board also for legal advice. Cashflow is key to small businesses and a good accounts package including an invoicing system can be extremely helpful. Setting up one’s own business is easy but planning will make it successful and the local enterprise board offer great courses on this planning for setting up your own business. Moreover many businesses are set up part-time while people are still in employment thereby growing organically. So think about it if you have had that germ of a business idea, a growing economy is the best environment to try it out.
Lawquip: Sitting behind his new desk for the first time since opening for business, a young businessman spots his first client enter the outer offices. He picks up the phone and starts waving his hands around in the air, pretending to be deep in conversation about figures. Finally, he puts the phone down. ‘Hi, can I help you?’ ‘Yes, I’m here to install the phone lines’

KERRY SKIN CLINIC
ECZEMA / DERMATITIS IN ADULTS
Some people may have eczema from childhood that extends into adulthood. This is usually due to atopic eczema which is a genetic condition causing dry, sensitive skin. This usually responds to regular moisturising with a safe, greasy moisturiser, free of colourings, perfumes and preservatives.
These adults also need to avoid all soaps and other irritants such as bubble baths, shampoos and shower gels. They should use soap free washes and shower gels instead. More troublesome, persistent cases may need a topical steroid to be applied to the badly affected areas once at night and this is usually only prescribed by doctors. Severe cases may need allergy testing to rule out any underlying food or contact allergy.
Some people only develop eczema in adulthood. If the eczema only affects specific areas such as the hands or the face, they may be suffering from a contact allergic dermatitis from something that is touching their skin such as perfumes, preservatives, nickel, cement, etc.
BY DR DAVID BUCKLEY
If the itch and rash is persistent and unresponsive to simple treatments from the doctor, these people might need to see a skin and allergy specialist for a specific allergy test called a skin patch test to see if they are allergic to something that is touching their skin.
Other adults may develop what is known as irritant dermatitis. This is from the skin being irritated from harsh chemicals such as soap, shampoos, washing up liquids or oils. These patients usually do not have an underlying allergy, just sensitive skin. The most common pace to get contact irritant dermatitis is on the hands. It is more common in occupations that involve getting the hands wet a lot such as hairdressers, nurses, kitchen workers and dairy farmers. Treatment involves moisturising the hands frequently with a safe greasy moisturiser and avoiding soaps and other irritants. These people also need to wear gloves for all wet work, particularly if there is a soap or detergent in the water. They need to wash with soap free washes and detergent free shampoos. Potent topical steroids may be necessary of sever hand eczema.

Who’s on the phone?
Dr Doolittle isn’t the only human who can talk to the animals. Visitors to Sandy Feet Farm can receive calls on their mobiles from Lucy the Alpaca, Goujon the chicken, Kathleen the Highland Cow or Róisín the Dexter, as they stroll round Kerry’s newest family attraction.
By swiping their smartphones on a nearby plaque, visitors will get a call from one of the animals. Each has a different story to tell. Goujon the Chicken for example, can recall over 100 human faces, while Lucy the Alpaca loves to explain how she guards her flock and keeps the foxes at bay. Using facts, humour and mobile technology, the service, called Talking Animals, helps young people engage with the farm’s animals, learning their distinctive traits and habits. “Sandyfeet Farm is a familyrun, open farm with a strong
commitment to education,” says Eleanor, who runs the farm with her husband Roy Bowler. “The children love the idea of Talking Animals and find them entertaining and engaging. Who could resist hearing directly from a chatty alpaca?”
Eleanor explains the technology is easy to use because there’s no need to install an app, you just tap your phone and off it goes! Each plaque has 3 kinds of built-in technology, she says: NFC, a short URL and a QR code and there is no charge for using it, apart from the standard network data charges. Talking Animals was funded with support from the LEO, Kerry. It is produced by Sing London, who developed Talking Statues Dublin and Talking Statues Wexford.

New evening menu at 7th Heaven starts this weekend
This weekend sees the (new) very popular Bistro and Cafe 7th Heaven ,located in Ashe Street , opposite the Courthouse , open its doors in the Evenings for the Summer with a simple yet extremely tasty and interesting A La Carte menu being served from 5pm til late . Says owner Marcin " A lot of our regular customers have been asking us to stay open so that they could sample a night out with our good food , and we also did a poll on Social media " The main challenge for us was to put together a different menu to our daytime fare so we could give people an
excellent taste experience in the evening time " We will be staying open right through until late , initially we thought on Friday and Saturday nights but already we have got bookings for other nights as well "... Looking through the menu , the initial thoughts are 'Wow ..its food with a difference here!! '... with starters such as Langoustine Soup , my pick on the main course would be Turbot Fillet with ratatouille and saffron sauce followed by their signature Magic Apple dessert (7th Heaven has already built up quite a reputation with their unique desserts and delicious Coffee )...And this is only one of many selections on their evening menu . They have a full wine list with Spanish and Italian choices to the fore , indeed a bottle of their house wine is only
€21 , quite reasonable as is all the menu .But its when you experience the tastes and presentation of the food , you feel a little guilty that you should be paying a little more . A choice of Beers are also available(Tom Crean , Peroni) as is a kids menu and of course they do cater with Gluten free choices also. Comments are jumping off the Social Media screens about the food already being served by their chef Patrick (who has a five star pedigree ) . So much so that as of writing this article , all 23 Tripadvisor reviews give it 5 stars , and nothing lower ..now if that doesn't make you curious !!!
Interestingly 7th Heaven are offering all patrons who come and try their evening menu , a FREE Lunch voucher as a thank you for their support and this lovely touch is for customers who visit any evening in the next two weeks ...Dont worry owners Marcin and Marzena will tell you all about it when you call.. Enjoy! Here is just a sample of their
Tripadvisor feedback ... "Desserts are amazing -Cathriona"..
"Food is refined without being fussy-Mary"...."Best food in Tralee without a doubt- Mags "..."I dont think Ive had a nicer scone and coffee and I've had many ..Lorraine "..."Food sounds simple but tastes amazing ...Thomas "..."Service is exceptional ,like the food , a gem in Tralee- Fiona " To contact 7th heaven call 087-2759693 or message them on Facebook .

WHATS DIFFERENT ABOUT BROOKFIELD?
Elisha
"This year , we celebrate working with students for 31 years , since 1988 " says Principal Elisha Dowling . "I like to emphasise the word 'with' as it conveys the approach we take with all students who come here ...We have created an atmosphere in the College where students are expected and encouraged to perform to the best of their ability. The most important part of this equation (yes , Elisha also teaches Maths!) has to be our teachers .At present we have 15 teachers in the school , all highly qualified teachers who are motivated and enthusiastic about teaching ...They just love teaching ...and that does come out in the students! And because there is rarely any changeover of teachers , that gives our students consistency ..very important in the exam years . We dont have uniforms and teachers are known on a first name basis... this all fosters maturity amongst the students. All our students are given regular assessments and each is assigned a tutor who meets with them several times during the year , discussing progress and giving both advice and guidance.Career guidance also gets priority during the Senior Cycle as we find it answers a lot of questions that students may have and gives them clarification. Its very satisfying to hear, maybe even a few years after they've gone that former students have found their time with us to be hugely positive... thats enough for me "
REPEATS IMPROVE DRAMATICALLY
BROOKFIELD COLLEGE ... UP THERE WITH IRELAND'S BEST!
In an Irish Times survey conducted on Irelands best College Feeder schools, Brookfield emerged as one of the top 2 schools in Ireland .
The survey noted that 100% of all Brookfield students who sat the Leaving Cert in 2012 went onto third level education . This puts Brookfield ahead of other schools in large urban areas such as Dublin , Cork , Galway and Limerick .
According to Principal Elisha Dowling " We have an extremely high standard set here and in my experience when you combine excellent teachers who are highly motivated with an atmosphere that demands the greatest effort from the students , this can have a significant positive effect on an individuals results !"
JUST SOME OF OUR REVIEWS
We were enormously impressed not only by the quality of the teaching but also by the very obvious commitment you have to fulfil each students potential. (Parents review)
Very structured way of teaching and makes sure everyone gets what they're capable of achieving.
There is so much more to Brookfield than studying!
Great Teacher...Very approachable which is a big plus! Went from a D average to getting a B+
WHAT CAN YOU DO AT BROOKFIELD COLLEGE ?
• Repeat your Leaving Cert
• Complete the Full Leaving Cert Course (5th Year and 6th Year combined )
• Complete your Final Year of your Leaving Cert (6th Year)
Would not be where I am today if it were not for him. He made us all believe in ourselves
It was nice to be treated like an adult for a change

Kerry Airport CEO Welcomes Increased €2 million plus Funding
KERRY Airport has received a welcome increase in the level of funding to annual support towards the cost of upgrading and purchasing essential technological and communications infrastructure in Farranfore.
The €2.2 million investment includes proposed allocations of €911,071 and €1,297,840 under the CAPEX and Public Policy Remit Capital (PPR-C) Schemes respectively.
The CEO of Kerry Airport, John Mulhern, said: “We welcome the increase in capital funding from the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport. Such investments are essential for the continued delivery of a safe and efficient service at Kerry Airport. The team at Kerry Airport wish to thank the Department, and in particular Minister Brendan Griffin, for acknowledging the key role that Kerry Airport plays in the development of the tourism
and general business sectors in Kerry.”
The CAPEX Scheme covers Exchequer support for safety and security related investment and is concerned with projects that are regarded as having an economic value to the airport or are inherent to the normal ‘business’ of being an airport.
The PPR-C covers capital investments associated with safety and security operations at airports that involve costs for the airport but generate no economic return, such as Air Traffic Control, fire services and security services.
This Programme of funding provides for support of up to 75% under Capex and 90% under PPR-C for approved relevant projects.
The Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Shane Ross, said: “Today’s announcement is further evidence of this Government’s commitment to the Regional
Legends at The Jazz
Airports Programme as part of Project Ireland 2040. A total of €72 million is being invested in safety and security related infrastructure enhancement projects and equipment over the lifetime of the National Development Plan. These grant allocations will help Ireland’s smallest airports to grow to a viable and self-sustaining position as envisaged by the National Aviation Policy.”

Hi my name is Dorothy Twomey (Dot). I have been hairdressing for over 20 years in Tralee and still love it. I initially trained with Fas (a fantastic start !) and then qualified with the Cork School of Hairdressing. As a Hair stylist you are constantly learning and I recently did another upskilling course to keep bang up to date with the latest trends. My favourite part of my job is colour and restyling to have my client feeling great leaving the salon. I am looking forward to being part of this great team in Expose Kilflynn
Susan takes time to personally get to know each of her clients and specially tailors their hair to suit their individual needs.

HELLO BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE!
I HOPE YOU’RE HAVING AN AMAZING WEEK!
This week, as the leaving cert is taking place, I thought I’d talk a little about my journey and how I became to be a Makeup Artist.
Even though I’m not doing it full time, I’m still working as a Makeup Artist, why? Because I LOVE it. I’m so lucky that I can do what I love anywhere in the world, I loved doing makeup when I was in Australia. So I was thinking this week I would share my own journey and what I would recommend you do if you also want to be a Makeup Artist.
You want to be a part of one of the MOST saturated industries in Ireland at the moment. Just letting you know. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, I just want to emphasise that so you’re aware of the industry and it’s relevant to the points that I’m about to make…
BACKSTORY
When I first initially got into makeup, I literally taught myself through YouTube tutorials, so I was what you call ‘Self-Taught’. I mostly did my own face and occasionally, I did other faces too. Let me just make a point, just because you do your own face perfectly, does not mean you will be good at doing someone else’s face. You learn by practicing, on all different face shapes, ages, skin types etc.
I moved to Dublin - where there was A LOT more Makeup Artists, who not only were more experienced than me, THEY HAD QUALIFICATIONS. I was in the middle of interviewing for a job on a Makeup Counter, I got through 4 stages, to the final round. It was between me and another girl. She got the job, I was told by the owner it was because out of the two of us, she was qualified and I was not. So I decided to get my own qualification. Got a job with a huge international brand immediately after, which
led me to become the Senior Makeup Artist on Counter, go to London training and do Makeup on Irish Celebrities for The IFTA’s.
QUALIFICATION
Initially I just wanted to get a qualification so it would make applying for jobs easier, but now that I have got ITEC qualified and have had experience working as a Makeup Artist I see how important it is to do a course in Makeup. The ITEC Qualification means that you’re Qualified Internationally(AKA - You can work anywhere in the world!)
Some of the most amazing Makeup Artists that I follow are ‘Self-Taught’, but they only do makeup on themselves. Doing makeup on clients is completely different. You are putting products on someone’s face, in my opinion, if you are charging money, you should be qualified. Why? Hygiene.
In a Makeup Course, as well as learning about makeup, you learn the importance of being hygienic when it comes to makeup. Little things such as cold sores, eye infections or minor skin conditions are not always visible on the skin and can be passed on VERY easily. If one of my clients has a cold sore, it is a contraindication, which means I cannot do makeup on them. This is something that I never would have known if I did not do a course.
Some makeup courses are waaaaaayyy too expensive, unless you want to do special effects or something. You don’t need to pay a fortune, more money won’t make you any more talented, practise will.
EXPERIENCE
Makeup Artists, if they’re not working from a counter, will most likely charge depending on both the products they use, and their experience.
How do you use this to your advantage? If you have more experience, you are likely
to be more skilled. Working on Counter for example, gives you a direct insight to how brands work, how makeup works, and you get to do makeup on SO many different people. Makeup isn’t just doing someone’s face, it’s an experience. You should be able to interact with you client, make recommendations based on their skin type and use the products that you know will work on their face.
BASICALLY…
If you want to be a Makeup Artist, amazing! Practise on yourself, post on social media, practise on friends, wash your brushes, build a CLIENT ONLY kit, get a qualification, get experience!
If you expect clients to invest in you, be willing to invest time and money in yourself and your kit.

HELLO STRONG PEOPLE
I
hope you are all having
Me personally… MY LEGS ARE IN BITS. I did leg day my first day back to the gym, not a great decision in hind sight, but it feels so good to be back in the gym!
I trained in The Arena Monday & Tuesday and then took a rest day today (Wednesday) & I’ll go again tomorrow, I feel like for the first few weeks back I’ll go 4 or 5 days a week and then up it if I want to, I don’t want to go all hell for leather right now as I want to be happy and motivated to go to the gym.
I’ve been tracking macros all week (3 days but still) it’s the most consistent I’ve been in a while and it’s progress. So I’m happy wooooo.
I haven’t tried any classes or personal training yet, but I’ll update you if I do!
If you’ve been out of whack or lacking motivation and looking for a sign to get back into the gym/exercise this is it! You’ll feel so much better when you do, I promise.
Just pick a gym/exercise routine that suits you, everyone likes different
a fantastic week!
environments and different things work for everyone, once you enjoy what you’re doing and don’t see it as a chore - you know it’s good!
I hope you all have a good week!

EATING OUT IN TRALEE
Tomato season is here and when they are fresh off the vine, locally grown, they taste so different.Its the flavour and the smell... it is a million miles away from the supermarket ones which are not even close ! so here is a tasty sauce recipe for you ... (note; although commonly called a vegetable , technically the tomato is a fruit )
SPICY TOMATO SAUCE
This will coat 1 pound of pasta. Cooked tomatoes are a good source of lycopene, a compound that fights cancer.
INGREDIENTS
• 2 pounds tomatoes, peeled and halved
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced onion
• 2 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
• Salt
• 1 tablespoon minced basil
• 1/2 tablespoon minced mint
METHOD
Scoop the seeds from the tomatoes into a strainer set over a bowl and press on the seeds to extract as much juice as possible. Coarsely chop the tomatoes and add them to the juice.
Heat the oil in a large pan until shimmering. Add the onion and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until softened and just brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes with their juice and the crushed red pepper. Season with salt and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 20 minutes. Stir in the basil and mint and serve. Or store in a jar in the fridge for 3 months

LAUGHTER ....THE BEST MEDICINE !
A PRIEST AND A TAXI DRIVER ARRIVE AT THE PEARLY GATES.
St. Peter welcomes them and shows them to their homes.
For the taxi driver, a beautiful villa looking over a gorgeous field of clouds. “Thank you,” the ecstatic taxi driver said.
Anticipating an even bigger mansion, the priest was dismayed when they arrived at a small 1-bedroom apartment.
“St. Peter, I’m a little puzzled,” the priest began. “As a clergyman, I devoted decades of my life solely to serving the Lord. How come the taxi driver got a villa, and for me, only a small apartment?”
St. Peter smiled. “Up here, we go by results. While you preached, people slept; while he drove, people prayed.”

VOLVO UNVEILS DRIVERLESS-READY PRODUCTION CAR
Volvo will build and sell the XC90-based vehicle, which is equipped with a number of autonomous driving systems, to Uber Volvo has revealed a production version of the XC90 built for ride-hailing app Uber, that the taxi firm says it can equip with its own technology to enable fully-automated journeys. The car is equipped with back-up systems for the steering and brakes, so it can bring itself to a stop if the main driverless systems that Uber installs fail for any reason, and also features battery back-up power.In addition to Volvo’s built-in back-up systems, the vehicle has an array of sensors attached to its roof that allow it to safely operate in urban areas. Following an agreement between the two firms in 2016, Uber will buy tens of thousands of examples of the car between 2019 and 2021.They will be rolled out across the Uber’s network under the supervision of specially-trained employees, although the company says thee vehicles will become fully independent at some point in the future, without any need for a ‘driver’. It is Volvo’s belief that if all vehicles on the road were to become autonomous, there would be significant potential road safety benefits.Håkan Samuelsson, president and chief executive of Volvo Cars, commented: “Our agreement with Uber underlines our ambition to be the supplier of choice to the world’s leading ride-hailing companies.”Eric Meyhofer, CEO of Uber Advanced Technologies Group, added: “Working in close cooperation with companies like Volvo is a key ingredient to effectively building a safe, scalable, self-driving fleet.“Volvo has long been known for its commitment to safety, which is the cornerstone of its newest production-ready self-driving base vehicle. When paired with our self-driving technology, this vehicle will be a key ingredient in Uber’s autonomous product suite.
JLR EMPLOYEES COULD MOVE TO A FOUR-DAY WORKING WEEK
Employees at Jaguar’s Castle Bromwich plant will sign a ballot later this week, deciding if the plant will move to a four-day schedule Over 2,500 employees at Jaguar Land Rover’s Castle Bromwich factory are to vote in a ballot to decide whether the plant will move to a four-day schedule. JLR has said that the shift pattern change will provide logistical and business efficiencies to its manufacturing process.Employees at Castle Bromwich will continue to work the same amount of hours as a five-day week and receive the same pay. The change in shift pattern would see the plant in operation between Monday and Thursday, with staff given Friday as an extra day off. More details will be released once the ballot has been cast.An official statement from Jaguar, said: “We have made it clear that we want to continue to invest in our British plants. This is, however, conditional on us operating in a trading environment in which we and our supply partners can flourish, and that we can deliver the operating efficiencies required as part of our ‘Charge and Accelerate’ transformation programme announced in January.Currently, the Castle Bromwich plant handles production of Jaguar’s XE, XF and XJ saloons, and the F-Type sports car. Production of the current XJ saloon will end at the site on 5 July and, given the amount of time and money JLR has invested in the facility, most analysts expect Castle Bromwich to be readied for the production of its all-electric replacement, which is due in 2020.

SECOND IN GROUP AT KENNEDY CUP FOR KERRY:
KERRY 1-0
LIMERICK COUNTY& KILDARE 2-1 CLARE
Kerry opened their Kennedy Cup 2019 campaign with an impressive win over Limerick County. The boys got off to the prefect start when Cormac Dillon scored a contender for goal of the tournament after only 3 minutes. He won the ball about 25 yards out, swivelled and curled his shot over the keeper.
The Listowel Celtic player doubled Kerry’s lead in the 28th minute when he charged down the Limerick Counties keepers clearance and coolly slotted the ball into the empty net.
It was almost the perfect game for the Kerry management as all 20 players got game time, kept a clean sheet and scored twice to top the Group after Game 1. Kildare came from behind to beat Clare 2-1.
KERRY AND KILDARE SET UP WINNER TAKES ALL CLASH
KERRY 1-0 CLARE & KILDARE 2-0
LIMERICK COUNTY
Day 2 started with Kerry taking on Clare and Kildare up against Limerick County. And it was the two ‘K’s that took the wins to set up the evening battle to top the table.
Kerry started very brightly and were ahead in the 11th minute. The Clare keeper made a great save from Yago Cornide and from the corner he saved again but John Burke was the fastest to react and smashed the ball home.
Kerry needed keeper Shay O’Meara to be in top form and he made at least great saves to keep his side ahead. In a tight second half Kerry were always comfortable and so made it 6 points from 6. Following a scoreless first half Kildare scored twice early in the second to also move onto 6 points. They were top of the Group by virtue of having scored four goals to Kerry’s three.
KILDARE TAKE THE SPOILS TO TOP GROUP 5
KERRY 0-3 KILDARE & CLARE 3-1
LIMERICK COUNTY
Kildare were always going to be the big challenge for Kerry and so it proved. A scrappy goal from a corner in the 13th minute put Kildare ahead and they doubles their lead 10 minutes later following a very good move. They are a very good footballing side
and the Paddy O’Sullivan Cup with Brendan O’Connell in second place. Group B honours went to John O’Sullivan ahead of David Ryle while Group C was won by Morna O’Halloran and Gerry Gallagher was the runner up here.
SEAN OUT BUT NOT DOWN AFTER DECIDER:

that use strength and speed of transition very well. Credit to the Kerry boys the put up a very good battle in the second half and were unlucky not to get one back through Alex Hennigan. Kildare got their third with a deflected goal.
THE STORY OF THE REST OF THE WEEK WILL BE TOLD NEXT WEEK AS WE SEE WHERE KERRY FINISH IN THE BATTLE FOR 8TH TO 16TH PLACE. They say write about what you know and he did!
The Kingdom has an unrivalled footballing pedigree, who better than a Kerry sports editor to create an ultimate guide that chronicles the highs and lows of Kerry football? In Kerry Abú: The Ultimate Kerry Football Fan Book Sylvester Hennessy, Sports Editor with the Kerry’s Eye, has created an unparalleled source of reference for Kerry fans.
From famous teams who dominated the footballing landscape to players, past and present, who have illuminated the All-Ireland championship with moments of magic, Sylvester has left no stone unturned in this ultimate guide to Kerry football. You’ll find everything here from significant games involving Kerry, including the ‘Civil War’ game; comprehensive lists of teams, titles and scorers throughout the decades; full coverage of all the personal accolades won along the way, such as the All Stars; an explanation for the county’s crest; and details on the county grounds, up to Peter Keane’s first season with the Kingdom.
Sylvester told the Tralee Advertiser how the book came about saying that “Kerry Abú is the brainchild of Noel O’Regan of Mercier Press who just happens to be the late Tralee sporting legend Martin Bracker O Regan’s grand- son.
“The book (RRP E9.99) was compiled as a reference guide for Kerry football supporters- we’re hoping it provides the answers to nearly all their questions about Kerry football - if you like it’s a little Bible of Kerry football and an ideal present for Kerry football supporters all around the globe. “
