Pathfinder Kerry: One Year of In-Home Care for Older Adults Pathfinder Kerry, an innovative service created by the National Ambulance Service and University Hospital Kerry (UHK), celebrates one year of supporting older adults by providing in-home assessments across Kerry for individuals aged 65 and over who call 999/112.

The service offers an alternative to Emergency Department (ED) visits, enabling many seniors to safely remain at home.

Launched in 2022, Pathfinder Kerry has managed 461 referrals in its first year, with 427 older adults receiving direct intervention, allowing 76% to stay at home safely after assessment.

The service addresses nonemergency medical needs to prevent

unnecessary hospital visits, with the team attending to issues such as falls, reduced mobility, catheter concerns, and general unwellness.

The Pathfinder team includes Advanced Paramedics, Occupational Therapists, and Physiotherapists who provide comprehensive inhome evaluations and follow-up care as needed. Operating Monday to Friday, 8 am to 8 pm, with weekend coverage for follow-up calls, the service collaborates with primary care teams and community organizations for seamless support.

Mary Fitzgerald, General Manager at UHK, highlighted the service’s success: “Pathfinder Kerry has played a vital role in keeping older adults

out of the hospital when possible.

By offering medical assessments at home, we’re improving patient outcomes and easing pressure on emergency services.”

Pathfinder Kerry continues to enhance local healthcare, delivering safe, high-quality care that supports older adults in the comfort of their homes.

SEABODY triumphs at prestigious UK Beauty and Sustainability awards Tralee based beauty and wellness brand SEABODY has made an exceptional mark in the beauty and sustainability sectors, winning two major awards in the UK recently. The brand was awarded Gold for Best New Beauty Brand at the prestigious Pure Beauty Awards, followed by a win for Best Sustainable Beauty & Wellness Innovation at the Country & Town House Future Icons Awards 2025.

At the Pure Beauty Awards, held on October 24th at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London, SEABODY triumphed over leading competitors, including Modern Botany, Anam Cosmetics, and Scandy. This highly coveted award, often referred to as the ‘Oscars’ of the beauty world, celebrates the best new beauty products and brands launched within the past year in the UK market. The Pure Beauty Awards are renowned for recognising exceptional quality and innovation, with SEABODY emerging as the Gold winner in the

highly competitive Best New Beauty Brand category.

“We are thrilled to be recognised among such esteemed brands at the Pure Beauty Awards,” said Dr. Helena McMahon, co-founder of SEABODY. “Winning Gold is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and passion our team has invested into building SEABODY as a brand that not only delivers on efficacy but also aligns with our commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.”

A little over a week later, on November 4th, SEABODY continued its winning streak at the Country & Town House Future Icons Awards 2025 held at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. The brand received the Best Sustainable Beauty & Wellness Innovation award, outshining renowned names such as Diptyque and Star Seed. This new awards initiative, launched as part of Country & Town House’s Journey

to Zero sustainability campaign, honours companies committed to pioneering eco-friendly, high-quality products that positively impact both people and the planet.

“The Future Icons Award recognises the exceptional brands leading the charge in sustainability,” said Dr. Helena McMahon.

“We are proud that SEABODY’s dedication to sustainable innovation and the environment has been acknowledged at such a significant level. This is not just a win for SEABODY but a win for the future of beauty and wellness as a whole.”

The Country & Town House Future Icons Awards were judged by an expert panel assembled by sustainability consultants Cyd Connects, ensuring that each

Kerry Co-op Confirms Agreement to Acquire Kerry Group’s Dairy Business Kerry Co-operative Creameries Limited (“Kerry Co-op”) has reached a significant agreement with Kerry Group plc to acquire 100% ownership of Kerry Dairy Holdings (Ireland) Limited (“Kerry Dairy Ireland”). This acquisition, to be completed in two stages, will involve a 70% stake acquired by January 2025, with the remaining 30% to follow over the next decade.

Key Proposal Details To facilitate the transaction, Kerry Co-op proposes a share exchange: each Co-op member would receive 6.25 Kerry Group shares for every Co-op share currently

held, equivalent to 85% of their Co-op shareholdings. For Irish resident members, this exchange is structured to avoid immediate tax charges, with capital gains tax deferred until the sale or transfer of the new Kerry Group shares.

The Co-op’s residual 15% shareholding in Kerry Group, along with additional financing, will fund the acquisition of Kerry Dairy Ireland in both stages. Through this purchase, Kerry Co-op gains control of regional milk processing facilities and valuable consumer brands, securing the future of local dairy farming families and strengthening the Co-op’s stake in the industry.

Special General Meeting for Approval This transaction requires approval from Kerry Co-op’s A and B shareholders at a Special General Meeting (SGM) scheduled for 12 noon on Monday, December 16, 2024, at the Gleneagle INEC Arena, Killarney.

Detailed information on the proposal has been made available on the Coop’s website and is being distributed to members.

James Tangney, Chairman of Kerry Co-op, commented, “This agreement delivers full ownership of one of

Ireland’s top dairy businesses while allowing Co-op members flexibility to retain or sell their shares as they choose. It marks a transformative step for the Co-op and our farming community’s future.”

The acquisition remains subject to Kerry Group shareholder approval.

Warm Welcome for Kerry County Council’s “Cyclists Dismount” Signs in Fenit Kerry County Council’s decision to install “CYCLISTS DISMOUNT” signs along Fenit’s popular footpath has been well-received. Proposed

by Cllr. Angie Baily and seconded

by Cllr. Deirdre Ferris, the signs will be placed along the footpath from Locke’s Beach to the Bathing Slip, addressing increased safety concerns due to rising foot and bike traffic on the path.

Fenit has become a major attraction for outdoor recreation, especially with the addition of the Greenway and recent upgrades to the village by Kerry County Council. The footpath is frequently used by walkers, families, and cyclists. Local residents, who raised safety concerns, supported this initiative, noting that many cyclists are unaware of the local tradition of dismounting in

pedestrian areas. To support cyclists, Kerry County Council has already provided a secure bicycle parking area.

Regular footpath users, including the Fenit Slip Swimmers, welcome the signs. As a member, Billy Ryle shared that as a cyclist himself, he dismounts at the Greenway and enjoys walking to the Bathing Slip, underscoring that a shared path can benefit all users. There are growing concerns over e-bikes, which are heavier and faster than regular bicycles, raising safety risks, especially with increasing camper vans in nearby car parks.

Three to four “CYCLISTS DISMOUNT” signs are proposed along the footpath, echoing existing signage at the Greenway’s end. The community hopes that goodwill will

ensure compliance, enhancing safety for the elderly, wheelchair users, and young children. Regular users are grateful for the council’s swift action and eagerly await the installation for

a safer path for all.

LAUGHTER ....THE BEST MEDICINE !

HOME FOR CHRISTMAS !

An Irish dad calls his son in London the day before Christmas Eve and says, “I hate to ruin your day but I have to tell you that your mother and I are divorcing.”

Long “Dad, what are you talking about?” the son screams.

“We can’t stand the sight of each other any longer,” the father says. “We’re sick of each other and I’m sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Leeds and tell her.”

The son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone. “Like heck they’re getting divorced!”she shouts, “I’ll take care of this!”

She calls Ireland immediately, and screams at her father, “You are NOT getting divorced. Don’t do a single thing until I get there. I’m calling my brother back, and we’ll both be there tomorrow. Until then, don’t do a thing, DO YOU HEAR ME?” and hangs up.The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife. “Sorted! They’re coming for Christmas – and they’re paying their own way”

‘Shine On’ shines a light on the pandemic experience Mary Sheehy, from Annagh, Co. Cork, felt the profound impact of the pandemic, and like many, wanted to capture its effect on lives in a meaningful way. Inspired, she created Shine On, a beautiful collection of stories and paintings that reflect individual experiences during this challenging period, with proceeds going to charity.

“The pandemic experience was different for everyone, with each story unique. Preserving these personal accounts gives a voice to those who felt unheard during that time. Sharing them offers both healing and mental health benefits,” Mary explained. Funds from Shine

On will support cancer services that remained vital throughout the pandemic, including Kerry Cancer Support Group, Cancer Connect, and Youghal Cancer Support.

Following a successful launch in Cork, Shine On will be launched in Kerry Library, Tralee, on November 23, 2024, at 3 p.m. Poet Barbara Derbyshire and some contributors will also share readings from the book.

Breda from Kerry Cancer Support Group expressed her appreciation: “Shine On offers insight into personal pandemic stories during a time that changed us all. The funds raised will support our service expansion,

allowing us to continue helping those affected by cancer in Kerry, West Cork, and West Limerick.”

Since 2007, Kerry Cancer Support Group has provided cancer

transport services, information, and support. Their Tralee centre offers a welcoming space for anyone needing assistance. For more details, Call 066-7195560.
