literary project that has been archived by UCD and funded by the Arts Council of Ireland. Quirke’s poems have been described in The Irish Times as “hard-won poems that rise out of a larger silence, re-doing the lyrics of Máire Mhac an tSaoi and Eavan Boland for 21st-century Ireland” and How We Arrive In Winter has been described as “brilliant and deeply moving” and an “affecting and assured book, written from the frontlines of mourning, but attuned, too, to the possibility of a future as in The Promise of Sweetbread which ends with the epiphany that ‘there has never been/ such a call/ for light/ as this.”

4 DAY WEEK TRIAL RESULTS achieve 9.2 out of 10 results!

The results of Ireland's first coordinated reduced worktime trial (The four-day week) has been

presented by University College Dublin’s Dr Orla Kelly this week at the Dublin Chamber of Commerce.

The project, backed by Fórsa and carried out in partnership by Four-Day Week Ireland, University College Dublin (UCD), and Boston College, has examined the financial, social, and environmental impact that a four-day working week would have on businesses and employees in Ireland.

The trial has been a resounding success in virtually every dimension with 100% of employees indicating they would prefer a reduced work schedule. Management are also very pleased with the outcome of the trial; in terms of productivity, and overall experience. On a scale of 1-10, from very negative to very positive, the companies’ average rating for the trial was 9.2.

All participating companies are planning to continue with the four-day week schedule.

Are you looking for a Christmas suggestion for the skin junkie that is concerned with anti-ageing?

As we age, collagen depletes, and we lack that lovely plumpness to our skin. So, it is a good idea to put the collagen back in to our skin via a supplement.

Collagen is a critical part of the structure of the dermis, and it is what gives our skin its plumpness. As we age, from our early twenties we lose collagen at the rate of 1.5% per year. This loss results in wrinkles, fine lines, dry, blemished, and thinning skin. Victoria Beckham (who knows a thing or two about skin!) takes a collagen supplement, Skinade, to keep her skin looking youthful and glowing. CHRC at Bon Secours Tralee is the exclusive provider of Skinade in Kerry.

Skinade is a drink that supports and nourishes the skin, not just on your face, but all over your body, working from the inside out to rebuild your collagen matrix below the skin surface. It boosts hydration and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Drinking Skinade regularly gives you a firmer, 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 and as well as working on your skin, it will also work on healthier and faster growing hair and nails.

All you need to do is take this drink daily.

I recommend taking it, chilled, in the morning; wait to see the amazing results! Vouchers are available and we provide a consultation to make sure Skinade is suitable for your needs.

Tralee receives Sensory & Community Accessibility Awards AsIAm, Ireland’s National Autism Charity, has officially launched its Autism-Friendly Towns Programme for 2022/23, an initiative that brings communities together to work to increase accessibility, understanding and acceptance for Autistic people in towns across Ireland. Whilst COVID-19 caused huge disruption for Autistic people and local communities, this year AsIAm will present awards to a number of communities in recognition of their progress, including Tralee, who will receive a Sensory & Communication Accessibility Award.

AsIAm work with communities to build infrastructure and support to make their town more inclusive and ultimately autism friendly.

The initiative, launched in 2018, sees towns seek accreditation by providing the necessary

tools and measures that include reducing sensory simulation and undertaking staff training to improve understanding of autism across local businesses, clubs and schools.

Currently Autistic people across Ireland face significant barriers with only 40% of Irish people claiming to have a ‘good’ understanding of Autism whilst 60% of people associate negative connotations with Autism. Autism Research AsIAm Autistic people across towns and villages in Ireland want to be afforded the same chance in every aspect of life, from going to school and making friends, to finding a job and accessing public services.

Great buzz in Listowel...

Irelands Soundest Town winner!

Listowel community collect the Cadburys cheque !

Exciting Spinal Cord injury treatment breakthrough coming from UL! Unique new material developed at University of Limerick has shown significant promise in the treatment of spinal cord injury.Brand new research conducted at UL’s Bernal Institute – published in leading global journal Biomaterials Research – has made exciting progress in the field of spinal cord tissue repair.

New hybrid biomaterials developed at UL in the form of nanoparticles and building on existing practice in the tissue engineering field, were successfully synthesised to promote repair and regeneration following spinal cord injury, according to the researchers.

The UL team led by Professor Maurice N Collins, Associate Professor, School of Engineering at UL and lead author Aleksandra Serafin, a PhD candidate at UL, used a new kind of scaffolding material

and a unique new electrically conducting polymer composite to promote new tissue growth and generation that could advance the treatment of spinal cord injury.“Spinal Cord Injury remains one of the most debilitating traumatic injuries a person can sustain during their lifetime, affecting every aspect of the person’s life,” explained Professor Collins.These results offer encouraging prospects for patients and further research into this area is planned.“Treating spinal injuries will therefore not only allow for the patient to walk or move again but will allow them to live their lives to their full potential, which makes projects such as this one so vital to the research and medical communities.

Local Clubs welcome €35 million Sports Energy Support Scheme Minister for Education and Kerry TD Norma Foley, welcomes the announcement of a new €35 million fund established to support National Governing Bodies of Sport (NGB's) and their affiliated clubs in dealing with their rising energy costs during the winter period.

Friday 2nd December 2022

may have in relation to the scheme.

Depending on the level of submissions, the outcome of those deliberations will be communicated to NGB's in December. These Bodies will begin the disbursement of this funding to their relevant clubs and affiliate organisations from January 2023 onwards.

Minister Foley said: “Our diverse and inclusive sporting organisations are at the heart of communities the length and breadth of Kerry. This new funding scheme will provide targeted and timely funding to local clubs ensuring that they can continue to operate during a difficult Winter period. “ Call Chris or Colette Tel: 066-7126399 or e-mail : traleeadvertiser@gmail.com

Minister Fleming presents awards to the first graduates from the Kingdom’s MSc in Fintech Innovation Minister Sean Fleming presented awards to the first graduates from the MSc in Fintech Innovation in the Killeshin Hotel, Portlaoise.

This innovative programme was developed in collaboration with Technology Ireland ICT Skillnet, Munster Technological University (MTU) Tralee and Skillnet Ireland.

The Masters programme was developed through Skillnet Ireland’s co-creation model which plays a key role in facilitating engagement between enterprise and the higher education sector in the co-creation of new programmes to meet future skills.The course has equipped the graduates with critical insights into fintech across the key pillars of finance, technology and innovation.

It meets the needs and contributes

significantly to future proofing the financial operations across all domains including the financial services sector itself. The innovative MSc in FinTech Innovation was delivered in MTU’s Tralee campus in Co. Kerry.

Dr. Breda O’Dwyer, Senior Lecturer in Entrepreneurial Leadership Mindset at MTU said: “Munster Technological University are delighted to have collaborated with Technology Ireland ICT Skillnet in developing and delivering the MSc in Fintech Innovation. It was a great honour for both the academic and the Lifelong Learning teams at MTU to be present as Minister Sean Fleming acknowledged the success of the programme and the achievements of the graduates.

These graduates encapsulate all the qualities of exemplary participants who have been recognised and held in high regard for their academic

excellence and leadership prowess in the financial services sector.”

Kerry Hoteliers Outline Tourism Challenges to TDs And Senators Hotel and guesthouse owners in Kerry met with local political representatives last week to discuss the challenges facing the tourism sector as 2023 approaches. While there has been a welcome upturn in tourism this year, businesses throughout the country remain in recovery mode, having survived the worst economic shock in recent memory and who are now confronting skyrocketing energy costs and an expected global economic downturn in key markets next year.

Bernadette Randles, Chair of the Kerry of the Irish Hotels Federation (IHF) outlined to Kerry representatives the crucial importance that everything possible is done to protect and secure tourism livelihoods and support the long-term sustainable development of our wider tourism industry.

“Irish tourism businesses are collectively the largest indigenous employer in the country. Here in Kerry, tourism accounts for 16600 jobs, and €592m of revenue annually. Speaking with local TDs and Senators it is clear that they understand the value and importance of tourism to our local communities, but also the enormous impact multiple factors are having on these businesses, right now.Hoteliers also discussed with local political representatives the importance of the 9% Tourism VAT rate and how this is the right rate for the long-term sustainable development of Ireland’s largest indigenous industry, “The current 9% rate is the right rate for Irish tourism in a European context. Increasing the tourism VAT rate by half to 13.5% in March 2023 would make Ireland’s tourism VAT rate the third highest

in Europe, far above other European countries where they take tourism

seriously like Portugal (6%), Malta (7%) Netherlands (9%).

Government RAISES social housing threshold for Kerry The Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Darragh O’Brien TD, has informed Government of an increase of €5,000 to the social housing income eligibility threshold for Kerry. The increase will take effect from 01 January 2023.

This significant change is being taken pending the development and roll-out of a revised income eligibility

Friday 2nd December 2022

model (and income thresholds) in 2023. The Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage is currently working on this revised model.

Commenting on the increase, Minister O’Brien said: “This increase will ensure that social housing support is available to vulnerable households in Kerry. It will help protect those most at risk

from the recent increase in the cost of living.

“This change, the first in over a decade, builds on the recommendations of the review into social housing income eligibility limits. My department and I are now working hard to produce a new income eligibility model, which will be completed in 2023.”

Siamsa Tíre Has Free Youth Theatre Taster Session On Dec 17th Siamsa Tíre, the National Folk Theatre of Ireland, announces a new youth theatre residency with West End House School of Arts, Killarney.

Starting on the 14th January 2023, classes will run weekly in Siamsa Tíre, led by drama professionals from West End House School of Arts.

Young people aged over 12 years old are invited to a free taster session on Saturday, December 17th in Siamsa Tíre from 12.00-2.00pm with Jessica Plunkett. Places are limited, so it is recommended to book early for both the taster session and the Youth Theatre term.

Current Creative Directors at West End House, Jessica Courtney Leen and Gemma Doorley said, “It has been a priority for us to establish a Youth Theatre Club because it was Donie Courtney’s ambition to see this happen in his home county.

To have a residency at Siamsa Tíre for a group of young people who want to come together and create their own work is simply magic. It’s exactly what we’re about at West

End House and we’re already looking forward to seeing what this beautiful space inspires.”

Róisín McGarr, Executive Director at Siamsa Tíre added, “Donal Courtney was greatly admired in the industry for his compassion and generosity of spirit as well as his talents as a theatre professional.

The West End House School of Arts, which was founded by the late Donal Courtney (Jessica's uncle), and actor Michael Fassbender, has been successfully running acting classes with secondary school students, visiting international students and adults since September 2021.

Michael says the vision of West End House School of Arts is to create a safe space for students to work collectively and inspire one another.

The Youth Theatre commences on Saturday 14th January 2023 and runs every Saturday from 12 – 2pm for a 10-week term up to 24th March. The course fee is €195. To register visit www.siamsatire.com/

Laura from KP Therapy answers your questions about Muscles, Aches & Pains.

Q. If I have muscular aches and pains what happens after I book a treatment session?

After you book in we follow a plan. This is in order to assess and improve any area of your body that is causing you discomfort, pain or a lack of mobility and strength.

Q. What happens first?

First we will fill out a medical screening form to gather information on your health and injury history. This is to give an overall picture of your health and see what may be feeding into or contributing to your current complaint.

Q. Okay. What next?

We will do a full postural assessment along with a number of range of motion and strength tests to try and pin point where your issue is stemming from and to give us an idea of what kind of work needs to be done to improve your complaint.

Q. What does the hands on work entail?

Through various hands on Neuromuscular techniques, massage techniques and mobility work we will aim to reduce pain, improve movement patterns and strength.

Q. How long does a session last?

50 minutes If you are in pain, or know somebody who has been suffering for a while than get in touch with us via phone, e-mail or just call in for a chat in The Brandon Hotel Leisure Centre. Our professional team of Kevin, Kieran & Laura would be happy to help you.

KERINS O RAHILLYS NEWS Senior Munster Club Championship Semi Final Result.

Kerins O Rahillys 1-09 Eire Og Ennis 1-08. Sunday evening in Austin Stacks Park saw KOR take on the Clare Champions Eire Og Ennis in the Semi Final of this years Senior Munster Club Championship. While reduced to 14 men halfway through the first half . after David Moran sufferd 2 yellow cards, O'Rahillys players rallied to the cause despite some close calls late in the game .When it was needed most the influential Gavin O Brien linked up well with Cormac Coffey and Karl Mullins to keep the pressure on Eire Og in the 2nd half .But the Clare outfit showed why they are back to back County Champions when then dragged themselves right back into the contest with a great goal from wing back Eanna O Connor which kickstarted a period of dominance to leave just three between the sides with ten minutes to go.Eire Og went on to score the next two points to leave the minimum between the sides.

For the last few remaining minutes it was nail biting stuff, as both teams were guilty of some very poor turnovers. And Were it not for a superb block down by Darragh McElligott KOR may well have lost the tie. The supporters were elated to reach their first Munster Club Final since 2009. Management will be delighted with the manner in which the team dug out the victory in the face of adversity, the character shown by the players was outstanding on the day.

KOR now advance to play

Newcastlewest in the final on Saturday December 10th at a venue to be decided.

Club Go Fund Me We have opened a go fund me page to assist with the added expense of a run in the Munster Club Championship, to date the support and response from our supporters and beyond has been nothing short of phenomenal.

JUVENILE NOTES: Well done to our U12 Boys who hosted Èire Óg’s U12 Boys on Sunday morning in Ballyrickard. Despite the conditions they played a great game of football.

There was some fantastic skills on show by all who played. The boys showed great team work throughout the game working the ball up and down the pitch finishing off with some cracking scores.

Juvenile AGM will take place on Wednesday 14th December at 8pm in the Club all members are welcome to attend.

Everyone in the Juvenile Club would like to congratulate our amazing Senior Team on their well deserved win over Èire Óg in the Munster Semi Final on Sunday. It was great to see so many of our Juveniles in attendance showing their support.
