LEGAL MATTERS CORNER MIRIAM MC GILLICUDDY ANSWERS YOUR LEGAL QUERIES

Maire who is a grandparent wishes to set up a discretionary trust for her grandchildren and is wondering whether to do it by her Will or while she is alive?

A discretionary trust is one where there is no immediate benefit to the beneficiary. The trustees manage and distribute the assets in the trust subject to the powers conferred by the deed or will. It is a legal vehicle whereby you the settlor transfer assets to trusted trustees to hold these assets for the benefit of certain beneficiaries e.g. your children. The trustees have full discretion in relation to administration of the trust but the settlor can write a letter of directions/intentions which while not legally binding does have to be considered by the Trustees.

If you are resident, or ordinarily resident, in the State and you set up a Discretionary Trust, you must complete and return to Revenue on Form DT1. The completed form must be submitted within four months of the date you set up the Discretionary Trust.

Discretionary Trust Tax (DTT) is payable by the trustees or by an agent acting for the trustees. The following DTT charges apply to trust assets: • •

An initial once-off 6% charge applies to the value of all the assets in the trust.

An annual 1% charge applies on 31 December each year to the value of all the assets in the trust on that date.

The advantage of a discretionary trust is that is can delay benefits being given to younger people until they are a bit older and sensible. The benefits once they are paid out are liable to gift or inheritance tax if they go over the applicable thresholds e.g. €400,000 for a child €40,000 for a niece/nephew or €20,000 for a friend. It is also very useful for benefiting an incapacitated child as application can be made in this case to make the trust tax exempt provided certain conditions are fulfilled. It is likely that assets for an incapacitated child would not come out of the trust until after their death so provision should be made in relation to the trust as to what will happen with assets if there are some still available after the beneficiaries death. The discretionary trust is very useful for succession planning as it can allow flexibility with the trustees as to how assets may be distributed between a number of family members. Family dynamics, financial and other needs and life circumstances can dictate distribution. It can help protect assets on into the future.

Before considering whether to do up this legal document advise should also be sought from an accountant/tax advisor.

Lawquip: “You can’t take it with you. But you can send it on ahead!”

Tralee Chamber Alliance Member Spotlight in association with The Tralee Advertiser

Tralee Chamber Alliance Member Spotlight With David Condon Woodcraft

David Condon Woodcraft is a Tralee-based woodturning business offering hands-on woodturning tuition and creative workshop experiences for beginners, hobbyists and visitors looking for something a little different in Kerry.

“Based in my own workshop in Ballyard , Tralee , I offer one-toone and small-group woodturning experiences where people can learn the basics of working safely at the lathe, understand the tools, and create something from wood with their own hands. These sessions are suitable for complete beginners as well as those who may have tried woodturning before and want more confidence, guidance or a better

foundation.” says David Alongside tuition, David Condon Woodcraft also produces handcrafted Irish woodcraft items, including pens, ring holders, small gifts and turned pieces made from carefully selected timber, often with a strong connection to local or Irish wood where possible.

The business also supplies woodturning tools, finishes and materials for other makers, supporting both beginners and more experienced turners who want practical products from someone who uses them in the workshop.

Crafter’s Haven is another small part of the business, offering craft supplies such as ribbons, bows,

stickers, and gift packaging. As a maker myself, I understand how useful it is to have practical supplies available in small, usable quantities, so this side of the business supports other crafters, creators, wedding makers and small businesses with materials for their own projects.

At the heart of everything is the aim

to make woodturning approachable, practical and memorable, whether someone is booking a woodturning experience, buying a handmade gift, or starting out with their own tools.

Kerry FC Strengthens Academy with Two Key Appointments Kerry FC has announced two major appointments as it continues to develop its academy structure, naming Darren Aherne as the club’s first Head of Coaching and Donagh O’Brien as Head of Academy.

The full-time positions have been funded through the League of Ireland Academy Investment Programme, supported by the Department of Culture, Communications and Sport and Sport Ireland.

Aherne brings 17 years of experience with the FAI and played a key role in introducing the Kerry District League to the League of

Ireland Academy in 2015. O’Brien, who guided Kerry FC’s MU20 side to Shield success in 2025, has overseen the academy’s continued growth, including the introduction of the Women’s Development League team.

Welcoming the appointments, CEO Billy Dennehy said both men will play a vital role in strengthening player development and coaching standards.

Kerry FC’s academy now caters for boys and girls from six years of age through to Under-20 and Under-23 levels, providing a clear pathway for young footballers across the county.

Kerry and Dublin Tipped for Rose of Tralee Crown Punters pick early favourites for annual pageant There could be cause for local celebrations in County Kerry next month as Kingdom representative Caoimhe Lynch has emerged as an early 5/1 favourite with BOYLE Sports to be crowned winner at the Rose of Tralee festival.

It has been 62 years since Tralee Rose Margaret O’Keeffe scored a local victory in the annual event. But the 28-year-old Kerry Rose will be heading to the Dome next month with an impressive resumé, which includes founding The Light House Project, an initiative supporting communities facing poverty and

social challenges.

The English teacher will however face stiff competition for the coveted crown, as she currently shares the favourite’s tag with Dublin Rose Suad Mooge, a 26-year-old medical scientist who includes kung fu on a long list of active hobbies.

Ciara McGinty (New York) and Fiona Gaffney (Chicago) are also rated as leading contenders according to early odds of 10/1 and 12/1, with the winner set to be crowned on August 18th.

Lawrence Lyons, spokesperson for BOYLE Sports, said: “There’s always a bit of local pride behind the Kerry candidate and with such an impressive background, Caoimhe Lynch is ticking plenty of boxes for

punters. The Kingdom is dreaming of a long-awaited homecoming but with strong competition from Dublin and across the Atlantic, the competition will be as wide open as ever.”

Meet one of our Manor West Sport Ambasadors for 2026

Ambassador: Daniel Bowler | BASKETBALL St. Brendan’s & Tralee Warriors What first drew you to basketball and made you feel it was the right sport for you?

to play with each other is what pushed me to think that I maybe wanted to try and play this sport.

Watching the fast-paced, quickthinking style of basketball is what drew me to it. I remember watching my older brother play games and I could feel myself wanting to try and play this sport. There’s no moment on the court where you don’t feel that adrenaline of going up and down the court trying to counter the other team, making quick decisions to try and breakdown a defence. I find that the most interesting part of basketball.

What part of basketball makes you feel most connected to the game— teamwork, competition, creativity, or something else?

Who inspired you when you were younger, and how did they influence your decision to play?

I only started playing basketball when I was 12 and I feel like watching my older brother Steven play with his team is what pushed me to play. He was on the B team for St Brendan’s and the way that team played and how much fun it seemed

I think creativity is what connects me most to basketball. The creative side is really interesting. You have your offense and from that you can get a different type of shot every play. It’s a battle between offense and defence to see who can find each other’s weakness and exploit it to win.

What strengths or qualities do you have that made basketball feel like the right fit for you?

My competitiveness and willing to learn helps me most in basketball. I enjoy a battle within the game and the feeling of winning with your teammates.

Basketball keeps developing

everyday so there’s always something new to learn, whether it be a new defensive scheme or new offense to learn, it keeps you thinking and never becomes stagnant.

What motivates you to keep choosing basketball every day, even when training gets tough?

The people who have put time and effort into helping me develop into the player I am today. Past coaches and teammates who have helped me in my development and even my mother who shows up to every game. I can’t let them down and I have to always strive for improvement.

How do your long term goals in basketball shape your commitment to the sport?

There’s always a goal ahead to keep striving for. For now, it’s winning a trophy with the Tralee warriors and to do that I have to keep committed to the process of training.

Kerry Hoteliers Call for Budget Support to Protect Tourism

Kerry hoteliers are urging the Government to introduce targeted measures in Budget 2027 to help tourism businesses cope with soaring operating costs and safeguard one of the county’s most important industries.

The appeal was made during the recent ‘Supporting Irish Tourism & Hospitality’ event organised by the Irish Hotels Federation, where hotel representatives met with TDs and Senators to discuss the future of the sector.

Garrett Power, Chair of the Kerry Branch of the Irish Hotels Federation, said tourism and hospitality businesses are facing unprecedented financial pressures that threaten both profitability and Ireland’s competitiveness as a visitor destination.

“Tourism and hospitality businesses are struggling to deal with unsustainable operating costs that are putting enormous pressure on

margins,” he said. “This is a serious challenge for our sector, including the local tourism economy here in Kerry. It is essential that Budget 2027 delivers targeted measures to offset Government-controlled costs and improve the competitiveness of our industry.”

Among the federation’s priorities are a reduction in Employers’ PRSI for labour-intensive hospitality businesses, action to address rising energy network charges, greater support for staff accommodation projects, increased investment in hotel sustainability programmes, and additional funding for Fáilte Ireland and Tourism Ireland to drive visitor growth.

The federation is also seeking greater investment in hospitality training and skills, along with measures to support increased hotel capacity nationwide.

Tourism remains one of Ireland’s

MTU Extends Support for Munster’s LGBTQ+ GAA Club

Munster Technological University (MTU) has renewed its sponsorship of Na Laochra Aeracha, Munster’s first and only LGBTQ+ GAA club, strengthening a partnership that promotes inclusion, participation and equality in sport.

The sponsorship follows a successful first year of collaboration, during which MTU staff and students became actively involved with the club. The partnership has also provided access to the university’s sports facilities and financial support to help the club continue its development.

Na Laochra Aeracha has enjoyed significant growth in 2026, welcoming 20 new members and reaching several important milestones. The men’s team competed in the Seandún GAA Division 4 League for the first time and is now preparing for the Junior

C Championship later this month.

The club also recently fielded 21 players for a challenge match, reflecting its growing membership.

MTU Vice President of People & Culture, Dr Pio Fenton, said the university was proud to continue supporting the club, describing the partnership as a reflection of MTU’s commitment to fostering inclusion, belonging and community participation.

Club secretary Erin O’Donovan

welcomed the renewed sponsorship, saying the continued support will help the club build on

its momentum and encourage even more people to get involved in Gaelic games.

Kerry Dancer, Victoria, Wins Bronze at Dance World Cup A talented young Kerry dancer has earned international recognition after winning a bronze medal at the Dance World Cup World Finals in Dublin.

Victoria Pavlovic from Firies, who trains with Sparrow Academy of Dance, finished third in the world in the Commercial Dance Solo category after competing against some of the best young dancers from across the globe.

More than 11,500 dancers from 73 countries are taking part in this year’s Dance World Cup, one of the world’s largest and most prestigious dance competitions for children and young adults. Competitors must first qualify through their national championships before representing their country at the world finals.

Congratulating Victoria on her achievement, Sparrow Academy Director Katrina

Galvin said reaching the finals was a remarkable accomplishment, while returning home with a world bronze medal was “truly exceptional.”

She added that everyone at the academy was immensely proud of Victoria for representing Sparrow Academy, Kerry and Team Ireland with such dedication, professionalism and passion on the world stage.

Night-Time Water Restrictions Introduced Across Parts of Kerry Uisce Éireann has introduced overnight water restrictions in several parts of Kerry as warm weather continues to drive demand for treated water beyond production capacity.

While water sources remain healthy, consumption has increased significantly, placing pressure on treatment plants and local reservoirs.

The restrictions are designed to protect daytime supplies for homes and businesses.

Areas affected include Faha, Lahard, Ballyhar, Aghadoe and Fossa, with restrictions from 9pm to 6am. In

Friday 17th July 2026

the Milltown area, restrictions will operate from 3pm to 8am, affecting communities including Calinfercy, Kilderry and Ard na Greine, where a water tanker has been provided for customers.

Overnight restrictions are also in place in areas served by the Caragh Lake, Tousist and Lauragh water treatment plants.

Uisce Éireann is urging customers to conserve water wherever possible by avoiding unnecessary use, helping to maintain supplies while demand remains exceptionally high during the current spell of warm weather.

Just as everyone enjoys different music, everyone enjoys different ways of exercising.

Some classes help you relax.

Some build strength.

Some simply help you move more and feel better.

Legendary DJ Bill Brewster Heads to Tralee for SunDown

Music lovers are in for a special night when SunDown welcomes internationally renowned DJ and music writer Bill Brewster to No. 14, Prince’s Street, Tralee, on Saturday, July 25, from 6pm until midnight.

Presented by Down Down, the event will feature Brewster performing an eclectic mix of house, disco and Balearic sounds in what promises to be a rare Irish appearance. Widely regarded as one of the most respected figures in club culture, Brewster co-authored the acclaimed Last Night A DJ Saved My Life, often described as one of the definitive books on DJ culture.

A founding resident DJ at London’s legendary Fabric nightclub, Brewster has spent more than four decades shaping dance music through his DJ sets, record labels and writing.

The evening will also feature a mini record fair, food, drinks and music across two rooms, creating a relaxed festival atmosphere in the heart of Tralee.

Organisers are advising early booking, as the intimate basement venue has very limited capacity.

Tickets are priced at €15, making it a unique opportunity to experience one of the UK’s most respected DJs in an up-close setting.

Service Manager Breda Dyland thanked the Dineen family and local businesses for their outstanding

“We are incredibly grateful to Emer and all of the Dineen family for organising this wonderful fundraiser.

Author to Launch Inclusive Children’s Book at Kingdom Pride Children’s author Aisling De Barra will be among those taking part in Kingdom Pride this Saturday, July 18, at The Island of Geese in Tralee, where she will showcase her debut picture book, Loved Just The Same.

The heartwarming book celebrates family diversity and encourages children to recognise that love is what truly makes a family, regardless

of its shape or structure. Through its inclusive message, the story highlights families with same-sex parents, single parents, step-parents and many other family types, helping young readers feel seen, valued and represented.

Visitors to Kingdom Pride will have the opportunity to meet Aisling at her stall, where copies of the

book will be available to purchase, including signed editions on the day.

Aisling says she is passionate about creating stories that reflect the lives and experiences of all children and is looking forward to meeting families, young readers and supporters throughout the event.

Bon Secours Hospital Tralee Backs Local Dancers Heading to World Cup Bon Secours Hospital Tralee has announced its sponsorship of The Academy of Dance, helping a group of talented young performers as they prepare to represent Ireland at the Dance World Cup, the world’s largest all-genre dance competition for children and young adults.

The Academy of Dance has built an outstanding reputation for excellence, with several students earning selection to compete for Ireland in both the Acro Dance and Classical Ballet categories. Their place at the prestigious international finals is the reward for years of hard work, dedication and countless hours of training.

As part of its sponsorship, Bon Secours Hospital Tralee has provided team gear for the dancers, helping to ease some of the costs associated with competing on the world stage.

Hilary Fitzgerald, Business

Development Manager at Bon Secours Hospital Tralee, said the hospital was proud to support the dancers as they prepare to showcase their talent internationally.

“We are delighted to support these exceptional young performers as they represent Ireland, Kerry and The Academy of Dance. Encouraging local talent and helping young people achieve their ambitions is something we are passionate about, and we wish every dancer the very best of luck in the competition,” she said.

Academy Director and Principal Teacher Clarissa Michaux thanked the hospital for its generous backing, describing the sponsorship as a significant boost for both the dancers and their families.

She said the support had helped reduce the financial pressures of competing abroad, allowing the

students to concentrate on their performances. She praised the dancers for their commitment, resilience and professionalism, saying they had earned the honour of wearing the Irish colours through years of dedication.

Clarissa added that the partnership demonstrates the positive impact local organisations can have when they invest in young people and

support excellence within the community.

The sponsorship forms part of Bon Secours Hospital Tralee’s ongoing commitment to supporting sporting, cultural and community initiatives throughout Kerry, helping local talent achieve success on both the national and international stage.photo credit Domnick Walsh

Countdown Begins to Puck Fair 2026 in Killorglin The countdown is officially on to Puck Fair 2026, with less than a month to go until Ireland’s oldest gathering festival returns to Killorglin for three days of tradition, music and family entertainment from August 10 to 12.

The launch celebration brought together local residents, organisers and guests to mark the beginning of preparations for the world-famous festival, which dates back to at least 1613 and has its roots in the ancient pagan festival of Lughnasa. One of its best-known traditions is the crowning of a wild mountain goat as King Puck, who reigns over the town during the festivities.

Festival Chairperson Declan Falvey said organisers are looking forward to welcoming locals, returning members of the diaspora and firsttime visitors for another memorable celebration.

A moving tribute was also paid to the late Seán Ó Sé, whose iconic performances of Poc ar Buile became synonymous with the coronation of King Puck. Renowned musician John Spillane honoured his legacy with a special live performance.

The launch also saw Scarlett Moriarty, a sixth-class pupil at Scoil Mhuire, officially crowned Queen of Puck Fair 2026.

This year’s festival promises another packed programme of free entertainment, with headline performances from Wolhound, Simon Casey and the energetic

Kia PV5 Transforms from Family MPV to Mini Camper The new Kia PV5 Passenger is set to become one of the most versatile electric vehicles on the market thanks to a clever modular camper conversion developed by Dutch company Vantrack.

Called the LightCamp, the conversion allows the all-electric people carrier to switch from a practical five-seat family vehicle into a fully equipped camper for up to four people in just minutes – without any permanent modifications.

The removable kit includes a slideout kitchen, inflatable double bed, rooftop tent and practical storage system, all designed to fit neatly inside the PV5. Once a camping trip is over, everything can be removed, restoring the vehicle to its everyday passenger configuration.

The compact kitchen features an induction hob, sink, bamboo worktop, 18-litre fridge and portable water supply, while the rooftop tent comfortably sleeps two people.

Additional features include blackout blinds, insect screens, cargo rails, an

awning and ambient lighting.

The PV5 itself is well suited to camping thanks to Kia’s Camp Mode, which allows the high-voltage battery to power climate control and onboard systems while parked. Its Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology also provides 230V power, allowing users to operate appliances such as coffee makers, lights and speakers directly from the vehicle.

Unlike many camper conversions, the LightCamp requires no drilling or permanent alterations, making it ideal for owners who need a practical daily driver during the week and a capable camper at weekends.

Following strong interest after its concept debut earlier this year, Vantrack has confirmed the LightCamp will enter production.

The finished model will make its public debut at the Camper Trade Fair in Utrecht this September, with prices expected to start at around €65,000, including the Kia PV5 Passenger.

Over €1.4 million for families in Kerry under the 2026 Back-to-School Clothing and Footwear Allowance Minister for Children, Disability, Equality and Kerry T.D Norma Foley has welcomed that 3,826 families in Kerry will receive payments totalling over €1.4 million from the Backto-School Clothing and Footwear Allowance in 2026 with payments commencing from today.

Minister Foley’s party colleague, the Minister for Social Protection, Dara Calleary TD, has announced that over 126,000 families nationwide will receive over €48.8 million in payments for over 233,000 children.

The scheme has been extended this year to include children aged 2 and 3 for the first time. As a result of this extension, it is estimated that approximately 37,000 additional children will qualify for the allowance this year.

The payment from the Department of Social Protection is designed to support eligible families with the cost of school uniforms and footwear ahead of the upcoming school term.

The rates of payment for the Backto-School Clothing and Footwear Allowance are €160 for children aged 4 to 11, and €285 for children aged 12 years and over in second level education.

Minister Foley said: “I welcome funding of over €1.4 million to support families in Kerry as they prepare for the return to school later in August. Over 3,800Kerry

families will benefit from the back to school clothing and footwear allowance, which is a really valuable resource to help defray return to school costs.”

Summer Shuttle Bus to Ease Maharees Traffic During Peak Season A new pilot shuttle bus service aimed at reducing traffic congestion and improving access to the Maharees peninsula will operate over four peak summer weekends as part of the international SMART Coast project.

The subsidised service will run on July 18-19, July 25-26, August 1-3 and August 8-9, serving key locations including Fahamore (Spillane’s Car Park), Kilshannig and Béal Geal Blue Flag Beach. It will also connect with the Local Link Route 273 at Castlegregory, making it easier for visitors to travel without relying on private cars.

The initiative is designed to reduce traffic on the busy Maharees road, improve road safety and encourage more sustainable tourism in one of Kerry’s most popular coastal destinations.

Maharees Conservation Association

Friday 17th July 2026

Chair Mícheál O’Leary welcomed the project, saying the shuttle offers a practical way to ease congestion while demonstrating the demand for improved public transport in the area.

The pilot is being delivered through a partnership between Munster Technological University, Kerry County Council, Fáilte Ireland and the Maharees Conservation Association under the Interregfunded SMART Coast programme.

Researchers from MTU say the initiative will help improve the visitor experience, protect the peninsula’s sensitive coastal environment and provide valuable information that could be used to develop similar sustainable transport projects in coastal communities throughout Ireland and across the Atlantic region.

TALKING SPORT WITH THE TRALEE ADVERTISER KERINS O’RAHILLYS GAA CLUB NOTES Kerry All-Ireland Final Bound: A massive congratulations to Kerry on their brilliant 2-18 to 0-20 victory over Dublin in the All-Ireland SemiFinal at Croke Park. Club man Tomás Kennedy made a fantastic impact off the bench, scoring a vital point and winning a crucial break to set up the insurance score. Best of luck to Tomás and the entire Kerry squad in the All-Ireland Final against Mayo in two weeks.

Senior Ladies - Donal Curtin Division 3 Cup Final: Hard luck to the Senior Ladies who lost the Division 3 Final to Austin Stacks in Caherslee. Two early injury withdrawals from the starting fullback line disrupted the game plan and Stacks were worthy winners.

Despite the disappointment, the ladies were beaten just twice in the entire league campaign, secured promotion to Division 2, and have enormous positives to take into the championship. Best wishes to Taylor Kate Leane who picked up a head injury during the game.

North Kerry U15 Development Squad: Very proud to have four club players, Rían, Luca, Tadhg and Cameron, representing the club in the North Kerry Development Squad.

The U12s welcomed Kerins O’Rahillys to Connolly Park in a warm and competitive double header, with the coaches delighted by the continued improvement across the panel.

Minor Boys: Competed well in the County League despite being heavily depleted through holidays and injuries. Round 3 away to Legion completed the group stage.

KERRY FC - SSE AIRTRICITY MEN’S FIRST DIVISION Kerry FC earned a hard-fought 2-2 draw away to Wexford FC in Ferrycarrig Park on Friday evening.

Jonas Häkkinen headed Kerry level after Wexford had taken the lead through Kaylem Harnett, and Sean McGrath scored a superb late winner in the 86th minute after being played through on goal by Matthew Britton, only for Wexford to level deep in stoppage time through Zak O’Sullivan to deny Kerry a famous away victory. Despite the late heartbreak Kerry produced another committed performance and can take many positives. Next up: a home FAI Cup tie against Premier Division side Shelbourne at Mounthawk Park.

U14 Hurling: A busy week saw the U14s lose to Abbeydorney in the Division 2 League Final before bouncing back with a great away win in the County Championship Quarter-Final against Kenmare/

Remembering a loving husband and father, and a caring friend, whose kind and generous heart stopped beating 12 years ago.

Dear Val, another year has passed without you... Another year that memories of your love and life we shared helped us through each day.

You were a generous, kind and gentle man. Your wisdom and devotion to family made us feel protected and secure, and helped us to believe in ourselves. Thank you for giving yourself so generously to everyone who needed a kind word and a helping hand. You made our world a safe and caring place. Immensely talented, you were always modest and served as an example and an inspiration to everyone who knew you both in the world of music and in the engineering profession.

You lived a long and full life and until your last breath you made plans for future achievements. We try to continue living in the same spirit to honour your legacy. We remember you every day and we never stop loving you, your wife Nadia, children Veronica and Roman and all your friends.

A Mass will be offered at 18:10 pm, on July 23, 2006, in St John’s Church, Tralee, in memory of Val Allister
