The More you tell the more you sell!!!
LEGAL MATTERS CORNER
1. The bank is not the original owner and is not aware of the on the ground issues relating to the property. They often cannot provide the normal replies to queries about the property as they have no knowledge of them and will exclude themselves from having to answer.
2. It is therefore a good idea to do as much investigation yourself in relation to the property locally e.g. talk to the neighbours.
3. As they are not the registered owner they have to prove how they are able to transfer on the property to you whether by court order or some other document of appointment.
4. The standard contract for sale has multiple protections for the Seller and the Purchaser. The bank/lending institution will exclude many of these standard conditions e.g. warranting that the planning is correct, environmental issues, health and safety, the identity of the property on the ground referable to the map.
5. If you purchase one of these properties and the owners have other debts one has to be careful that these don’t accrue to the property before finalising the purchase.
6. They will exclude any requirement to insure the property pending the closing of the sale thereby forcing a purchaser to insure the property from the date of contract.
7. They will exclude all liability in relation to the state of the property so it really is in more ways than most buyer beware.
8. With auction sales they produce all the documentation in advance of the auction which should be checked by a solicitor before you put in any bids as a buyer is bound once they sign a contract at an auction.
9. They are selling the house as is and may not clear out any junk resulting in you having to pay for a skip.
10. It is important to have an engineer do a structural survey, planning and boundary checks. Having said all the above and while looking out for all the pitfalls and being aware of the risks it does provide an avenue for people to access purchasing a property at a reasonable or below market price. Solicitor and engineering advice are essential.
Lawquip: A real estate agent had just closed his first deal. To his horror though, he then discovered that the piece of land he'd sold was completely submerged under water.
"The customer's going to come back here pretty mad," he said to his boss. "Should I give him his money back?" His boss roared at him, "Money back? What kind of salesman are you? Get out there and sell him a houseboat."

Tralee Says Goodbye with DJ's "Final Curtin"
The town of Tralee will be out en-masse in a couple of months to bid farewell to her singing son D.J. Curtin when he returns for two nights on November 1st and 2nd.At least that seems to be the case after tickets were being snapped up this week when it was announced on Facebook that they were being released. The celebrated entertainer has been performing with Brendan Bowyer for 40 years this year in Las Vegas, first emigrating there in 1979 being offered a salary which he couldn't refuse to join The Royal Irish Showband. And royally they were treated, with their image atop taxi cabs on the famed strip, they played 6 nights a week at the Barbary Coast Casino, and "everything was complimentary to us " said DJ in a phone call with Tralee Advertiser this week. "Any shows we wanted to see, dinner, someone made a call and the tickets were left at the box. We got to meet all the top stars."
When we asked him why now for announcing these final shows? He answered, "it's Mark's (Mark Leen ) idea really. He came up with it, putting the show back into The Brandon which I'm very happy about because Tralee is my home town. Mark is a fantastic manager, I have been with him now since 2003 and he has had me play all over the country. We did The Showband tour together with Dickie Rock and The Swarbriggs and The Conquerors with him doing his Elvis. I don't know why
he gave that up, he was very good at it and I know he was even offered work here in Las Vegas at one stage by a promoter. When Mark gave up the Elvis in 2013 I haven't been back as much, and then last year he came to my house here in Vegas and we sat down and as I was sipping a beer he suddenly spelled out this vision he had in front of me, The Final Curtin he called it. I wasn't going to go back anymore, the journey is very long, but he persisted. He nearly told me who'd be at the show. He has an incredible ability to know what people want and go after it. He sold me on it, sure he's the best salesman in Ireland. "
We spoke to Mark Leen about the concert and he told us:
"A few things have become very important to me, first of all D.J. will get the very best, the best sound and lighting, a follow spotlight and brass on stage.Next, the speakers will be placed way over to the corners of the room, I don't want it too loud near the VIP seats "said Mark. "All seats are numbered. Next will be adequate security.Doors at 7 and the shows will start at 8. I will go on until 8:45, then The Conquerors will come on until 9:15 and D.J. Curtin will come out in his white suit until 11. There will be a tribute paid to D.J.'S old band The Kerry Blues, and Manus Leane will dance the crowd till late. As for D.J., he will open up with his hit "Will They Remember Me? and include many of songs from his albums, My Elusive
Dreams, Almost Persuaded and of course the highlight will be his unequalled Noreen Bawn. The show will finish at 11 for patrons wanting to leave early, but the disco will run till the early hours for those who wish to stay late, Iknow his audience and I have thought this out "said Mark. "When D.J. told me he wasn't returning again, I knew the people of Tralee wouldnt have that, D.J.'s home is in Las Vegas, his brother Henry "Tombstone" is buried there. He has children and grandchildren there. So this is it. Less than 3% of Tralee will be lucky enough to witness this live.
Unfortunately seats are limited at these shows, tables of ten are all numbered, and there will be no overcrowding. Tickets are €25 for a side aisle seat which is like a theatre seat. €35 will get you a table
seat with the white cloth and the you can get up on the dance floor, there will be 2 bars open. €45 euro for the VIP seats which are roped off and are the best views guaranteed. Some of the €35 seats will go out to the front door of the Conference centre. Tickets are only available from one place said Mark, from Me on 086-1935277 or find me on Facebook. There will be no need to advertise this, in the first week over 300 seats are gone already for the Sat night with Friday pushing 250. I have no doubt we will have full houses for D.J. as we are limited to 750 each night. There will be tears as people take photos and say goodbye, including members of his own family...don't miss this opportunity for he shall never be seen on stage here again. "

Cara Credit Union joins Metamo – a joint venture between 16 of Ireland’s largest Credit Unions and Fexco
Cara Credit Union are one of 16 of Ireland’s largest credit unions who have recently announced a €10 million collaboration with Killorglin based international financial technology company Fexco in the formation of a new joint venture to be named Metamo. Metamo is a 50:50 joint venture between the 16 investing credit unions incorporated under the name MetaCU and Fexco, one of Ireland’s largest financial services companies. MetaCU credit unions represent over 480,000 members from across the country – including Cara Credit Union’s 43,000 members with combined assets of over €3billion (c.19% of the sector).
Pa Laide, CEO of Cara Credit Union said:“This collaboration with Fexco and credit unions is an important milestone for Cara Credit Union and for our members
in Tralee, Castleisland and Killorglin. This joint venture is particularly significant for Cara Credit Union and Killarney Credit Union who are also part of this venture. Not only is Fexco based within our common bond in Killorglin but they are the world leader in innovative Fintech, Payments and Business Solutions. From a members’ prospective nothing will change, we are still independently owned and managed locally by our members. But by working together with Fexco and credit unions, these shared services will bring us closer to becoming the primary provider of financial services to all our members. The initial focus of the venture is on collaboration between Fexco and the investing credit unions to identify and develop products and solutions required by members. Metamo will offer these solutions to all other
credit unions in the country who are not part of the joint venture in order to sustain the continued development of the sector.
Denis McCarthy, CEO of Fexco commented:
“Participating in Metamo allows Fexco to leverage two of our key strengths; strategic investment and new product development. Like the credit unions, Fexco understands the value of
supporting local communities, indeed we remain loyal to Killorglin where the company was first founded, employing approximately 1,000 staff there today.
Metamo is based in Kerry with offices in Dublin. The company is currently actively recruiting its senior management team having appointed Neil Hosty as CEO in 2019.

HELLO STRONG PEOPLE
I hope you are all having a fantastic week!
I’ve been loving a good cardio sweat sesh so this week I’m going to talk about the importance of cardio.
Now when I say cardio is important I don’t mean jogging excessively on the treadmill for hours, hating every second, punishing yourself for that ‘bad food’ you ate.
NO.
I’m talking about doing different exercises that make you feel good and improve your cardiovascular health while doing so. It might be swimming, boxing, a gym class, walking the dog, cycling anything that gets you up and moving and feeling good!
I used to hate ‘cardio’ because what cardio meant to be was doing the same exercise
EVERY time. Aka jogging for 30 mins.
When I started switching up the cardio workouts I was doing, introducing swimming, sprints, interval training, boxing, gym classes etc… I really started enjoying it! I love getting a good sweat on and getting my heart rate up! I also fell in love with the Cardio classes in Titan Fitness, I loved the feeling I got after them.
Doing cardio is important to maintaining a healthy heart. Your heart is the centre of your cardiovascular system, and is vitally responsible for giving your body life!
Of course, doing excessive intense cardio is not good either. It will put your body in a catabolic state and burn your hard earned muscle. Then if you lose too much muscle it will slow down your metabolism in turn making it harder to burn fat. So if you think introducing a training regime where all you do is intense cardio sessions 5 times a week with no weight training, you’re not going to benefit!
If you think you have fallen into a rut of either extreme(all weight training or all
Of course you can do things like HIIT training with some weights and get the best of both worlds.
All I’m saying is, cardio is not the devilwhen done correctly. And it will actually help your performance in the weight room.
You can find me on Facebook ‘Bexblah Makeup’ or Instagram ‘Bexblah’.

Good old fashioned Roast
Here is a lovely chicken dish using a whole chicken... If youre not good at cutting up and dissecting a full chicken, then ask your own local friendly butcher to do it for you... he'd only be too delighted!
ROAST CHICKEN WITH CORIANDER-MINT CHUTNEY Serves 4
INGREDIENTS
• 1 bunch fresh mint
• 1 bunch fresh coriander
• 1 green jalapeño, stemmed
• 1/4 cup chilled water
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 1 tablespoon fine sea salt, divided
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 cups plain yogurt
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 (4-pound) whole chicken, separated into 2 drumsticks, 2 thighs, and 2 breasts
METHOD
Combine mint, coriander, jalapeño, 1/4 cup water, lime juice, 1 teaspoon salt, and cumin in a blender; process until smooth. Place half of chutney in an airtight container, and chill until ready to serve.
Whisk the remaining half of the chutney in a large bowl with the yogurt and oil. Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels. Using a knife, score each piece of chicken several times, about 3/4 inch deep. Sprinkle with remaining 2 teaspoons salt. Transfer the chicken to the bowl, and turn to coat evenly with yogurt mixture. Cover with a lid, and chill 2 hours
Preheat the oven to 165c with rack 8 inches from heat. Place a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet. Place the marinated chicken pieces, skin side up, on the rack, wiping off excess marinade. Roast in preheated oven until internal temperature of breast registers 78c, about 1 hour 10 minutes.Increase heat to grill (do not remove chicken), and grill until skin is crispy, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove chicken from oven, and let rest 10 minutes. Serve with reserved chutney.

TORQUING CARS!
MOST POPULAR ELECTRIC CARS AS INTEREST GROWS
The Hyundai Kona is the top-selling battery-powered car in Ireland and around a quarter of car shoppers say they're planning to make their next purchase an electric or a hybrid, a motor industry review has found.Of more than 1,000 prospective buyers surveyed in the April-June quarter, a narrow majority - 52pc - said they still plan to make their next car a diesel, the fuel that powers three out of every four vehicles on Irish roads.But around a quarter said they intend to go green, by buying either a hybrid (17pc) or fully electric vehicle (9pc).This is reflected in strong sales growth for 191-plated electric and hybrid cars, the report found, with electric car sales through June totalling 1,954 units - more than for the whole of 2018. The Hyundai Kona accounted for 37pc of all electric sales, the Nissan Leaf 33pc and a trio of competitors - the Volkswagen e-Golf, the Renault Zoe and BMW i3 - splitting the rest.Toyota dominates Irish sales of new hybrids, producing the four most popular makes led by the Corolla.
“With the Government target of 2030 as the year that 100pc of all cars on Irish roads will be electric, the data in this report highlights that consumers already are making the switch,” said Martin Clancy, marketing manager of DoneDeal. ie, which compiled the report published Wednesday.Among manufacturers as a whole, Volkswagen narrowly remains in pole position, accounting for nearly 11pc of all new car registrations in the first half of 2019. Toyota and Hyundai trail close behind.
In terms of specific models, the Nissan Qashqai was the top-selling new car in the first half of 2019, followed by the Hyundai Tucson and the Toyota Corolla.With the euro’s strength versus the pound, imports of used UK vehicles are on the rise this year. Growth appears particularly strong at the luxury end of the market, with imports of the Mercedes-Benz E class and C class both more than 30pc higher versus the first half of 2018.The Volkswagen Golf remains the most popular used import overall, while the Volkswagen brand continues to top the second-hand market with nearly 43,000 changing hands in the first six months of the year.

LAUGHTER ....THE BEST MEDICINE !
I WENT TO THE LIQUOR STORE ON MY BICYCLE
and bought a bottle of whiskey , put it in the basket on the front and then it occurred to me that if I fall or something happens, the bottle might break, so I drank it all right there and it's a good thing I did... ...'cause I fell 7 times on the way home...
OFFICER STOPS A MAN FOR SPEEDING— NOTICES HE'S NOT WEARING HIS REQUIRED PRESCRIPTION GLASSES.
Officer says, "I have to give you a ticket for not wearing your glasses."
Driver says, "But Officer, I have contacts." Officer says, "I don't care who you know, you're still getting a ticket."
A MIDDLE-AGED WOMAN HAD A HEART ATTACK...
...and was taken to the hospital. While on the operating table she had a near death experience. Seeing God she asked, "Is my time up?" God said, "No you have another 43 years, 2 months and 8 days to live." Upon hearing this, the woman decided to stay in the hospital and have a face lift, liposuction and a tummy tuck. She even had someone change her hair color. Since she had so much more time to live, she figured she might as well make the most of it. She was released from the hospital but while crossing the street on her way home, she was killed by a car. Arriving in front of God, she demanded, "I thought you said I had another 43 years?! Why didn't you pull me out of the path of that car?"
God replied, "I didn't recognize you."
I NEED EVERYONE TO WISH ME LUCK...

AS A GUITARIST, I PLAY MANY GIGS.
Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper’s cemetery in the back country. As I was not familiar with the backwoods, I got lost.
I finally arrived an hour late and saw the funeral guy had evidently gone and the hearse was nowhere in sight. There were only the diggers and crew left and they were eating lunch. I felt badly and apologized to the men for being late. I went to the side of the grave and looked down and the vault lid was already in place. I didn’t know what else to do, so I started to play. The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around. I played out my heart and soul for this man with no family and friends. I played like I’ve never played before for this homeless man. And as I played ‘Amazing Grace,’ the workers began to cry. They cried, I cried, we all cried together. When I finished I packed up my guitar and started for my car. Though my head hung low, my heart was full. As I opened the door to my car, I heard one of the workers say, “I never seen nothin’ like that before and I’ve been putting in septic tanks for twenty years.” Apparently, I was still lost.

FAI NATIONAl P.R.O. OF THE YEAR
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE KDL ON FAI COMMUNICATION AWARD NOMINATION:
Having been a winner at the inaugural FAI Communications Awards where, as you can see from the top of this page, I was named as FAI PRO of the Year there could be a second Kerry winner this year. In the Best Publication Award the Kerry District League’s Victory Shield programme produced and edited by Sean O’Keeffe and published by Kerry’s Eye is named as one of the two best soccer productions of the year.
The first competitive tournament in Kerry saw Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and the Boys in Green play at Mounthawk Park and Christy Leahy Park. And the Kerry District League took the opportunity to produce a souvenir publication that not alone covered the event but also had some great articles on soccer in Kerry. With the FAI AGM taking place on Saturday July 27th the previous night is the Delegates Dinner and Awards. The Communication Awards are a highlight of the night and Best Publication will come down to the Victory Shield entry and one from Dundalk Sport –Taking Back The Throne.
Members of the KDL including Sean and Secretary John O’Reagan will be at the dinner and it could be a historic night for Kerry as Killarney Celtic are also in the Knightsbrook Hotel as they are one of the 6 clubs in line for Club of the Year. This column and all at the Tralee Advertiser wishes both Kerry entrants all the best.
The following day the FAI AGM takes place and anyone who has been following the FAI saga will know that this will be no ordinary AGM so it will be an interesting weekend in Meath.
LOTS OF WATER BUT NOT TO DRINK:
Firstly it is great to hear that all the Kerry camogie players are making a full recovery from the stomach problems they experienced when drinking water at a recent game. I am not going to comment on this game or club in particular as there is a HSE investigation taking place. And to be fair no one involved in sport would wish something like this on any club who were doing
everything right when giving their facilities for the inter county camogie game against Limerick. But what this should do is make all clubs take stock of where they allow coaches to fill water bottles from and also the hygiene around those water bottles. How many times do we pick up the rack ahead of a game and see that they were not emptied after the last game. These need to emptied and washed out after every game. Also players should take good care of their own water bottles if they are using reusable ones – which they should.
PRACTICE ON THE HILL FOR TRALEE MANOR WEST:
opener and then beat the hosts by the same score line. On Sunday night the Irish girls saw off Slovakia 70-58 to sit joint top of Group C. The Colaiste na Sceilige and St Mary’s BC player was on the mark in all the games. On Tuesday they faced Greece in a top of the table clash between the two unbeaten sides but it was the Greeks that took the win. However the Irish team still has plenty to play for with the competition going on until July 14th.

MOTORSPORT IRELAND'S WEEKEND ROUND UP
Clare driver Rob Dwane continued his unbeaten run towards this year’s Pack & Pallet National Hillclimb and Sprint Championship by making it seven wins out of seven in the Carlow event at Fighting Cocks, near Nurney. After four timed runs, his OMS was almost seven seconds clear of runner-up James Bradley’s Escort, with the Suzuki Swift of Dara Fay finishing third overall.
This September the Tralee Manor West club will be the centre of attention when they host the National Hill Climb championships. The last two rounds of the Hill Climb League are being used as dry runs for these Championships. Last weekend they reduced the length of the hill climb to the championship distance of 1.3km. And they also tested out their timing mechanisms. Conor Kissane clocked the fastest time of 4.06 to take the win and continue to lead the League. The three riders behind him finished in the same order as their League position with Jerry McCarthy second, John James Griffin third and Joe Roche 4th. Almha Russell Kissane from the Artane Cycling Team was the fastest lady and Junior on the night. This Thursday night the action returns to the Time Trial League with the 20km course from Ballycarty Cross to Castleisand and back being used. In other categories in the League the M40/50and 60 are being led by Mike O’Shea, Tom Gentleman and Tom Daly respectively. The newly introduced Non Aero category is being led by Barry Fitzgerald. Staying with cycling and a number of Kerry riders are taking part in this week’s 6 Day Eurocylces/ Eurobaby Junior Tour that is underway in Clare since Tuesday.
IRISH U18 GIRLS ENJOY HOOPS OF SUCCESS:
The Irish u18 Women’s team made a great start to their European Championships Division 2 in Skopje, Macedonia. With Siofra O’Shea in the squad and Tommy O’Connor coaching they beat Austria 60-39 in their
The second phase of the Under 13 and U15 League of Ireland continues at the weekend with Waterford the visitors to Mounthawk Park on Sunday for a double header. The 13’s have made a great start to their second phase and are on 4 points from their two games. Following a great comeback to draw 3-3 away to Cabinteely they followed up with a very impressive 5-1 home win over Wexford. After good Kerry pressure Finn Barrett and JJ Olitijan put the home side 2-0 up before the break. Into the second half Kerry added goals from Andy Kerins, Naill Tigue O’Brien and Stephen Gannon (pen) while the visitors got a late consolation. The 15’s were unlucky to go down 2-0 away to Cork City. The home side scored in both halves and while Kerry had chances it was the home side that were the more clinical. Kerry will take a lot from this game as Cork had beaten Shamrock Rovers, probably the standard bearers, the previous week. With the local season almost over, the u17 final on Monday night is one of the last games, this is a great time to come along and see our young stars tackle some of the best in the country. Both games kick off at 2pm. The Kerry 17’s, who were a very impressive 5-1 winners away to Cobh Ramblers in the Mark Farran Cup Round 3 last weekend, and the 19’s who will be hoping that their new players who they signed in the transfer window will strengthen the squad, are both away to Bray Wanderers also on Sunday.

She is ranked in the top 5 in both the squat and dead lift and will head to Alberta with the Irish team.

Locally: Killarney co-driver and Waterford’s Craig Breen are in Estonia this week as they look to get some hours in their Hyundai i20 ahead of their return to the World Rally Championship at Rally Finland in August. This is an opportunity that the duo worked hard to secure and hopefully will lead to a full contract for next season.
The next two Irish rallies are the Sligo Stages on July 14th and the Imokilly Mini-Stages Rally on July 21st where a number of Kerry crews should be taking part.
HOW GOOD WILL THE SUPER 8’S BE FOR KERRY?
While everyone will agree that Dublin will qualify from the Super 8’s Group phase to the All Ireland semifinal the other 3 places cannot be predicted. In Dublin’s group the second team will either be Cork or Tyrone with their clash set to be the decisive game in that Group. And in Kerry’s group it is a brave man that says he can predict the way the 4 teams – Kerry, Mayo, Donegal and Meath – will finish. The two games this weekend will be huge and from a Kerry point of view a defeat will really put them on the back foot. Mayo won’t fear coming to Killarney to face Kerry especially following the way they won the League final. And they will be cheered on by a huge travelling support.
From the home sides point of view Kerry got past Cork who have since proved that they are playing well. And looking at the game the last day Kerry would have beaten that Galway side so how good are

Mayo?
The fact that it is not pure Championship knock-out football won’t take away from the intensity and Kerry defensively will have to be at their best – and let’s be honest be cinical when required and not afraid to take part in the ‘dark arts of defending’!. Rest assured Mayo will do all this. So it should make for a cracker in the Fitzgerald Stadium on Sunday and with a 4pm throw-in the fans will have lots of time to enjoy the build-up to the big game. Many say Mayo will win but I think it will be Kerry led by the forwards to win by 2 points.
AMBER FLAG FOR RAHILLYS:
There were great celebrations at the Kerins O’Rahillys Club at the weekend when the Amber Flag was flown for the first time.
