David wants to get a good physiotherapist to help him out with a work related injury he is also suffering from some post accident trauma and is wondering about a reputable counsellor to talk to.
Health and Social Care professionals are now being regulated under an organisation called CORU. CORU is from the Irish Word Coir meaning fair, just and proper. CORU is the umbrella body that regulates health and social care professionals. There are a huge variety of such professionals, and each has their own registration board under Coru. Even though the act providing for CORU, and the regulation of such professionals was enacted in 2005 it has been a careful, slow road to registration of all the professional types. Those currently with active registers includes Dietitians, Dispensing Opticians, Medical Scientists, Occupational Therapists, Optometrists, Physical Therapists, Physiotherapists, Podiatrists, Radiographers, Radiation Therapists, Social Workers and Speech and Language Therapists. Those whose registration has yet to open are Clinical Biochemists Counsellors Orthoptists Psychologists Psychotherapists Social Care Workers. For the list with live registers CORU has established ethical and behaviour codes for those professionals as well as recognition of their qualifications and providing education standards. David therefore can look up any physiotherapist that he is proposing to use to make sue that they are registered with CORU as this provides a certain amount of security for him that he is dealing with a professional who will abide by high standards in the area. Moreover CORU will be ensuring that all these professionals engage in continuing professional development and lifelong learning. The website to look up to check a relevant professional is bona fide and registered is www.CORU. ie. Registration for counsellors/psychotherapists is on the way. Covid has delayed much of the earlier work in these areas. In relation to all these professionals if a member of the public, their fellow employees and managers has a complaint against someone it will be examined by a preliminary committee and if there are sufficient concerns that will necessitate the issues being brought to a professional committee which might recommend a sanction depending on the seriousness of the complaint. This fitness to practice procedure will ensure that persons unsuitable for the profession will be weeded out. There have only been a few of these cases to date involving e.g., convictions for theft and fraud offences, not being competent in the job etc. In this way the Board can show that it is performing a useful function in that it is chasing after professionals who fall below the expected standard while attesting to the fact that all the others in the profession are adhering to high standards
This act is a great extension to allow meaningful regulation of the health and social care sector

Dr Colm O Loghlen wins Colgate Caring Dentist of the Year 2021..
Read the winning story below...
Dr Colm O’Loghlen of Bridge Street Dental Practice, Tralee has been announced as this year’s Colgate Caring Dentist of the Year 2021 hosted at The Intercontinental Hotel, Dublin 4 last Saturday night. Dr O’Loghlen was recognised for the compassionate treatment and exceptional clinical skills he provided to a traumatised teenager after the teen lost his two front teeth in a face-first fall from a wall. The Tralee dentist was nominated by the 15-yearold’s mother who put a call out on social media after being told that there was no dentist available in the local hospital to treat her son. Thankfully, Dr O’Loghlen answered her call. “My son was holding his two front teeth in his hands, and we felt hopeless,” the boy’s mother said. “It was clear that he had done severe damage to his face and teeth.” By this time, it was late on a
Saturday night and her son was becoming increasingly distressed. Dr O’Loghlen responded and told the mother and son to meet him at the surgery immediately.
There, despite the stitches in the boy’s lips and significant swelling on his face, Dr O’Loghlen managed to reimplant the two front teeth successfully.
“When we arrived at the surgery that night, my son was distraught. But Dr O’Loghlen quickly put us at ease. His calm demeanour reassured us that we were in safe hands, and we are sincerely grateful for the help we got that night, and the care we still receive.
“Dr O’Loghlen has not only helped to restore my son’s teeth, but he has also restored his confidence too. As a mother, I cannot thank him enough.”

Audiology Medical Services’ Online Christmas Carol School Competition Returns Doubling Prize Money to €2000
The competition is open to all primary schools across the country and entering is simple. Teachers just need to email a video or link of their class singing their favourite Christmas Carol to Audiology Medical Services. A panel of judges will then select the finalists from all entrants, with bonus points given to any class that includes Lámh or sign language in their video. Finalists will then go forward to an online public vote to decide the winner of the €2000 prize.
On the back of the phenomenal success of last year’s competition, Audiology Medical Services today launched their nationwide Online Christmas Carol School Competition, with a prize of €2000 for the winning school, chosen by the public. Last year, the competition was deservedly won by Cara Junior School from Banduff in Cork following their rendition of ‘Let it Snow’. Cara Junior School scooped the impressive €1000 prize, winning by the minutest margins of just 0.5% of the votes after a staggering 18,500 public votes were made for all finalists selected. Speaking at the launch of the competition, Kay Lewis, Chief Operating Officer of Audiology Medical Service, one of Ireland’s leading independent hearing healthcare companies, said: “We were blown away with the popularity of last year’s competition, so running our Christmas Carol Competition again this year was a no brainer. We also made the decision to double the prize money for the winning school, so we are hoping for even more entries than the 150 or so from last year.”
Kay went on to add: “Having a hearing loss can be challenging at any time of the year, but none more so than during the Christmas season. The aim of this competition is to raise awareness among young people on the importance of hearing, and how important the sounds of Christmas are to us all, especially a nice Christmas Carol.”
If singing a Christmas Carol doesn’t suit, students can also enter Audiology Medical Services Festive Colouring Competition. Children aged between 4 & 12 years of age have a choice of 3 Christmas designs for a chance to win
a €100 shopping voucher. Designs can be downloaded on the Audiology Medical Services website.
A family-owned business, Audiology Medical Services is leading the way in Ireland when it comes to the provision of expert and comprehensive child-centred and familyfriendly diagnostic audiological assessment of infants, children, and adolescents. With International studies proving that early detection of hearing loss will result in improved academic and social outcomes for hard of hearing children and their families,
Audiology Medical Services ensures that every child that attends an appointment has the most accurate assessment possible.
Full details on how to enter both Christmas competitions, along with terms and conditions, and downloadable consent form are available on www. audiologymedicalservices. ie. Deadline to submit entries for the Christmas Carol Competition is midnight on Tuesday November 30th, 2021 and Friday December 10th for the Christmas Colouring Competition.

THE TEAM AT THE CLINIC ARE HERE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS ON COSMETIC AND HAIR RESTORATION ISSUES.
Q: I would like to something to give my skin a boost before Christmas as I feel my skin looks dull and tired and it looks like it’s lost a lot of plumpness and lustre. Any advice?
Jenny
Great weekend at Kellihers Toyota!
Mary replies ....
Hi Jenny .
Help is at hand , my suggestion would be a course of Skinade. Skinade is available in CHRC in the Bon Secours Tralee. Skinade is a drink that supports the skin all over your body. It works from the inside out to rebuild your collagen matrix below the skin surface.
It boots hydration and reduces the appearance of ne lines and wrinkles. As we age, we loose collagen at the rate of 1.5% per year from our early twenties. This loss results in wrinkles, ne lines , dry, blemished and thinning skin. Collagen is a critical part of the structure of the dermis and gives our skin its plumpness. Drinking Skinade results in rmer more even toned, hydrated , radiant , youthful and healthier looking skin. It contains collagen peptides and Vitamin B complex, Vitamin C, lysine and omega 3&6 As well as working on your skin, it will also work on healthier and faster growing hair and nails.

Pedal Power as Tour de Munster raises over 500k
for Munster Down Syndrome
2021 will certainly be a year to remember for Tour de Munster, not only as the Tour celebrated its 21st edition, but also raising a phenomenal €522,201- its largest sum to date for the Munster branches of Down Syndrome Ireland. The grand total was revealed at a cheque presentation on Saturday, November 20th with cycling legend and long term supporter of the Tour, Sean Kelly, presenting the cheque. Since the tour began in 2001, over €3.9 Million has been raised for charity with over €3 million raised for the Munster
branches of Down Syndrome Ireland.
Funds raised as a result of Tour de Munster play a significant role across each Munster branch of Down Syndrome Ireland who provide a range of vital supports and services to children and adults with Down syndrome and their families. In their quest to raise vital funds and awareness, this year’s Tour saw over 150 amateur cyclists make their way across the six counties of Munster, travelling over 600km from August 5th -
8th, supported by friends, family members and many volunteers along the way. Sean Kelly, who celebrated his 16th Tour de Munster, once again led the 150 cyclists through the beautiful towns and villages of Cork, Waterford, Tipperary, Limerick, Clare and Kerry, covering an average of 150 km per day.
Enda O’Brien of Down Syndrome Kerry said, “Thanks to the continued support of Tour de Munster over the past twelve years, muchneeded funds have been
raised to continue to provide vital services and supports for our members with Down syndrome in Kerry. We are extremely grateful for every single person’s support, from the cyclists to the volunteers and the public. Special thanks also goes to the tour's Kerry sponsors for their fantastic support. Congratulations and well done to everyone involved, the sum raised is astonishing and we can’t thank you enough for your hard work and dedication.”

Warriors Take Templeogue to Task to Remain Unbeaten at Home
Garvey’s Tralee Warriors produced a performance of real quality, determination and resolve as they saw off the challenge of Griffith College Templeogue in convincing fashion on Saturday night. The Warriors led throughout and a hugely impressive third quarter, in which they outscored the visitors by 2512, moved the Warriors into position to see out the win by 99-90 in the end.
Templeogue got to work early in the fourth in their attempt to turn the contest around with scores from Lorcan Murphy, Mellini and Puff Summers but threes from Quigley and captain Fergal O’Sullivan kept the visitors
at arm’s length. With no sign of a dramatic comeback the game meandered its way to the inevitable conclusion with Calixte turning on the style with quality scores from either side of the arc. Lorcan Murphy did provide an entertaining cameo late on with his typical acrobatics, but it served simply to add some respectability to the final scoreline as the Warriors sealed an impressive 99-90 win in the end.
The Super League takes a break for the Irish international next weekend but the following weekend Garvey’s Tralee Warriors will attempt to make their way to the Cup semi-final for the third season in a row

TURKEY TOO DRY? WE'VE ALL BEEN THERE!
Yes . at some point in our life most of us have all gone through it! The beautiful Christmas Turkey looks fantastic on the outside but is dry as pepper under that golden brown skin .And nothing ruins a Christmas Day Dinner more than dry Turkey! Now here's what to do... simply salt and water... otherwise known as Brine! And watch that Turkey cook to perfection!
Putting your Turkey in a brine keeps it moist & juicy and is very simple to do. Here are my top tips for it.
The basic proportion of salt to water for whole turkey is about 5 percent salt by weight for the quantity of water. This gives you a relatively mild brine designed for a whole turkey. When brining smaller foods, you can get away with using a stronger brine for less time, but in order for the brine to gently penetrate a whole turkey, you're better off with a 5 percent solution.
There's no need to heat the water if you're making basic brine, but if you want to infuse it with spices and/or herbs, you'll want to bring half of the brine to a boil with your desired ingredients. Then, let it cool. Some popular brine add-ins include bay leaf, peppercorn, star anise, whole allspice, dried chile, rosemary sprigs, garlic and orange zest.
Pop the turkey into the fridge and let it brine for at least 8 hours (and up to 18 hours). Just don't leave the turkey in the brine for longer than recommended—over-brining can render the bird too salty and turn the texture spongy. If you still aren't ready to roast the turkey after 18 hours, you can remove it from the brine, rinse it, and refrigerate it for as long as two days leaving it uncovered for part of this time will give you a crisper skin.
A wet-brined turkey can be slow to brown in the oven, so, for the best results, remove the turkey from the brine 8 to 12 hours before you plan to roast it. Rinse and thoroughly pat it dry with paper towels and let it sit in the refrigerator, uncovered

TALKING SPORT WITH THE TRALEE ADVERTISER
FAI NATIONAl P.R.O. OF THE YEAR
BISHOP MOYNIHAN CUP’S NEW PLACE OF RESIDENCE DECIDED BY LOCAL DERBY;
The hope of an all Tralee Garvey’s Senior County Championship 2021 became reality last weekend when Austin Stacks and Kerins O’Rahilly qualified for the final. The stats guys have been busy and are saying its 85 years since the two sides played each other in a County final and 58 years since there was an all Tralee final.
The details of the final were not announced at the time of writing but the preferred option is on Sunday afternoon December 5th in Austin Stacks Park.
Both sides will certainly reflect on their eventful semi-final with both sets of management knowing they have plenty to work on before the big derby.
TWO GAMES IN TRALEE/ ST BRENDAN’S BOARD CHAMPIONSHIP:
There are two games in the Tralee / St Brendan’s Board Championship this Sunday with results to be decided on the day. The first named team has home advantage with both games kicking off at 2pm. They are St Patrick’s versus Ardfert and Na Gaeil against Ballymac.
STACKS JUVENILE NEWS:
game with free admission for u16’s. Hopefully a big crowd will come out to cheer on the team.
The club was delighted with the success of the Debs and Evening Wear Fashion Show at the Ballyroe Heights Hotel. There was some wonderful fashion on show and the club members from the hurling and camogie sides looked very much at home on the catwalk. Guest speaker Mary O’Donnell of Radio Kerry gave some health and well-being tips at the interval. Well done to Maria Guthrie and Barry Hamilton who won the Best Dressed Competition. The club is delighted that Autism Friendly Tralee shared in the proceeds and also wants to thank its many sponsors.
Social Hurling – Boys from u9’s to u15’s are welcome to meet on Saturday’s on the astro at the MTU Sports Academy for an hour of hurling. Supervised games start with the u9’s to 11s at 9am and u12’s to u15’s from 10am.
COLLEGE UP-DATE:
ROWERS WIN MEDALS OFF THE WATER:
At this time of the year rowers don’t usually get many days on the water –although this year the weather is much more benign than normal. Indoor rowing takes on an important role and the Tralee Rowing club certainly proved their prowess at this disciple last weekend in the Irish Indoor Rowing Championships at the UL Arena. The club returned home with seven medals. Two adults were on the podium with John Tuite taking first in the M50-54 1000m and Paula Moloney 3rd in the Ladies 40-49 2000m. Amy Darcy took a 1st and 3rd while Sean Morris, Conall MacThreinfiur and Alex Maritz all won silver.
WINTER SWIMMING SERIES CONTINUES:
The Stacks rode their luck a little especially with the goals they scored but when the game went to penalties they were unerring and Wayne Guthrie would always be expected to save at last on kick. A number of the Stacks scorers play or have played soccer and that was evident with the quality of their spot kicks.
Kerins O’Rahillys showed great selfbelief when coming from behind to defeat Dr Crokes in a game that certainly kept the referee on his toes. As an aside it is amazing that experts can watch the same game and come out with totally different reactions. Radio Kerry Sport commentators Tim Moynihan and Ambrose Donovan voiced their displeasure with a lot of the tackles and off the ball fouls that they saw in the game while analyst Billy O’Shea said it a very enjoyable and exciting championship game apart from one or two over the top tackles.
But not of that will bother the Narries as they look to take a second Black and Amber scalp in a row. William Harmon’s side will certainly not be happy with just reaching their first decider since 2008 while Wayne Quillinan’s charges will be looking to add the County Championship to the Club championship trophy that’s already in the cabinet.
It will be a fascinating build-up over the next two weeks with the banter at its best in Tralee. Whichever side you are on enjoy every minute of it. And make sure you display your colours where you can.
GAA APPOINTMENTS AND NOMINATIONS:
Ahead of the County Convention it has been announced that Terrance Houlihan has been appointed as the Development Officer and Aine Ni Shuilleabhain is the Children’s Officer. As County Board Chairman Tim Murphy’s time in the hot seat comes to an end he has been nominated by Kerry GAA for the role of Munster Vice- Chair.
The whole club is buzzing after the win by Wayne’s Warriors after the most nail-biting of games and of course the dreaded penalty shoot-out. Well done to all the players and management and everyone is now looking forward to the big day – set to be December 5th. The juveniles present were thrilled to have witnessed such a cliff hanger and what skills from the spot were on show from Sean Quilter, Michael O’Donnell, Adam Curran, Michael O’Gara and The Star while Wayne Guthrie pulled off a great save from St Brendan’s Board first penalty. Well done to the clubs u15 boys who have qualified for the final of the Greater Tralee Area football tournament. Their opponents will be Ardfert on the weekend of December 4th-6th. The club is delighted for its members who are on the Tralee District panel that have reached the County Final.

There will be 10 races on the night with a Race of Legends, an auction, best dressed lady and gent competitions with the races shown on multiple screens.
RAHILLYS ROUND-UP:
Young and old were thrilled at the final whistle as their seniors have qualified for Kerry’s biggest football day for the first time in 13 years. They showed this by swarming onto the field to congratulate their heroes and now all thought turn to the final. The club was also delighted for Jack Savage who was deservedly named Player of the Match in a game where many stood out. The club will now be hoping to see their colours flying high for the coming two weeks.

WARRIORS BACK TO WINNING WAYS:
Garvey’s Tralee Warriors got back to winning ways in the InsureMyVan.ie Men’s Super League defeating Griffith College Templeogue 99-90. A flurry of threes in the first quarter from Daniel Jokubaitis, Fergal O’Sullivan, Keelan Crowe and Aaron Calixte were matched by the visitors in a cracking first quarter where a buzzer beater from Brandon Cotton saw the Warriors lead 25-22.
Both sides battled hard in the second quarter but the Warriors finished the stronger with Jokubaitis making his third three of the night and Crowe his second to lead 54-48 at the half. After the restart the Warriors upped the intensity at both end of the court and over the next ten minutes gave themselves the platform to go on and win as they led 79-60 with the last ten minutes to play. Templeogue as expected fought hard but the Warriors had enough to wrap up an important win. Aaron Calixte led the scoring with 21 followed by Jokubaitis on 17 and the Irish squad member Eoin Quigley on 16. With Ireland playing this weekend the SuperLeague takes a break before the Cup quarter final sees Moycullen coming to the Sports Complex on December 4th with a 7.30pm tip-off.
