LEGAL MATTERS CORNER MIRIAM MC GILLICUDDY ANSWERS YOUR LEGAL QUERIES

Finian was wondering about his right to take holidays from his workplace as he is having difficulty getting the dates, he needed for his family holiday.

The good news is that we have now 10 public holidays in the year including from 2023 the first Monday in February unless that falls on the Friday of the month in which case the public holiday is a Friday. Ideally one is entitled to a paid day off on these days or a day in lieu. Public holidays do not include Good Friday which is

a normal workday.

All employees whether full time, part time, casual or temporary are entitled to paid leave. For most employees this would be four weeks paid holiday in the year. If an employee works less than 1365 hours in a year, then it is often calculated at 8% of time worked.

Otherwise, it is a 1/3 of a working week per calendar month that the employee works at least 117 hours. This holiday leave entitlement is useful for students as it can often be paid to them on leaving employment at the end of the summer. No employee is entitled e.g. on the 8% calculations to more than the statutory four weeks paid leave. However there is nothing to stop employees having a greater holiday entitlement in their contract of employment. In relation to taking holidays while employers can set dates depending on the demands of the business in consultation with employees and bearing in mind the employee’s opportunities for rest and recreation.

This would include family commitments and cognizance needs to be taken of the school holidays and opportunities for a family to go on holidays together. Holiday pay needs to be paid in advance of the employee going on holidays.

Annual leave should be taken within the leave year Depending on your employer, you can agree to take your annual leave within 6 months of the end of the relevant leave year. Any further carrying-over (also called holding over) of annual leave would need to be agreed between you and your employer. If you are sick while on annual leave and produce the medical certificate to your employee you should get alternative paid time off. If you are on long-term sick leave and cannot take your annual leave due to illness, you can carry it over for up to 15 months after the end of the year it was earned. If you leave your job within these 15 months, you should get payment instead of the leave you did not take due to illness.

Law Quip: “The vacation we often need is freedom from our own mind.” – Jack Adam Weber

Frankie Dettori to ride at the Listowel Harvest Festival Legendary jockey Frankie Dettori is confirmed to ride at Listowel on Tuesday, September 20, day three of the famous Harvest Festival which features the Listed Edmond & Josie Whelan Memorial Listowel Stakes.

This will be the first time the Italian jockey has ridden at the County Kerry racecourse.

Frankie’s flying visit to Listowel Racecourse will see him compete at all Kerry racecourses. He rode at Tralee Racecourse in 1998 and was in action at Killarney Racecourse in 2019.

The 51-year-old Italian-born, British-based jockey is one

of racing’s most successful jockeys and recognised sports people. Known for his distinctive flying dismounts, he has won all the major Flat races around the world including multiple Group and Classic races in Ireland.

The seven-day Listowel Harvest Festival runs from Sunday, September 18 to Saturday, September 24.

Pat Healy, Chairman of Listowel Racecourse, said: “We can’t wait to have Frankie ride on day three of our Harvest Festival - it will be a real treat for racegoers to see such a racing legend in the flesh. Frankie has had

great luck riding in Ireland so hopefully, he can ride a few winners and racegoers can enjoy his famous flying dismounts in the Listowel winners’ enclosure.”

For further information and tickets see www.listowelraces.ie

Tralee and Cork teams take the glory at the Rose Cup tournament

At the GAA Rose Cup sponsored by the Bons Secours on Sat 20th at Healy Park and Na Gaeil GAA grounds, 16 teams competed to win Rose Cup and Rose Shield. There were teams from all around Kerry and further afield too. In the Rose Cup final we had John Mitchels V

Ardfert, with John Mitchels coming through a very stuff game against Ardfert. In the Rose Shield Final, we had Cordal of Kerry v Douglas of Cork, with Douglas winning out in the end.

Also, our new sponsors, the Bons Secours, donated 2 footballs to all the teams in the

tournament. They were much appreciated by all the Teams.

Meet Rachel, our new Rose!

By Georgie Downes

Thirty-three Roses took to the stage in the Kerry Sports Academy on Tuesday night, but only one stepped off as the newly crowned International Rose of Tralee 2022.

Rachel Duffy, representing County Westmeath, disappeared in a cloud of Roses, gathered round to offer hugs and congratulations, as soon as RTÉ’s Dáithí Ó Sé made the all-important announcement. When she finally emerged, the stunned 23 year old graduate of NUI Galway, was presented with the sash and crown from outgoing rose, Dr Sinead Flanagan.

Rachel, from Rosemount, located in the heart of the country in Co Westmeath,

holds an undergraduate degree in drama, theatre, performance studies and Spanish and was due to begin a master’s degree in September. A keen footballer and traditional music enthusiast, she is currently working in P Egan’s Traditional Irish Bar in Moate.

RTÉ transformed The Sports Academy at MTU with lights and chandeliers and swathes of black, into an amazing, show-bizzy wonderland for the two-night extravaganza as global audiences tuned in from Turkey, Indonesia and Saudi Arabia. What a way to showcase our beautiful town of Tralee. Well done to the Rose of Tralee committee who have been working away behind the scenes for the

past two years to ensure the success of this festival and a massive congratulations from everyone at the Tralee

Chamber Alliance to Rachel Duffy, our new International Rose of Tralee.

How to support your loved one to get a wheelchair accessible home

by Terry O'Brien, service coordinator with Irish Wheelchair Association in Kerry.

As a parent or a sibling, sometimes it is hard to find the balance between encouragement and pressure when we are trying to get our loved ones to think about the future and where they will live as they get older. While working in Irish Wheelchair Association in Kerry, supporting families across the area; everyday, I am meeting disabled people who are being underestimated by society and also left behind by the national housing crisis. Many don’t know where to go or how to start looking for their own home. But help is out there.

condition. I meet people who cannot figure out where they will live when their parents get older. And I meet parents who are struggling to care for their adult children and are worried about the future.

I often meet parents who are so hopeful and enthusiastic about their son or daughter’s potential but the struggle for an independent life can seem out of reach for so many.

Many people, not just parents, would like to support their child, sibling or friend to live independently and have their own home but don’t know where to start.

However, while local authorities are focusing heavily on building social housing, they are not yet delivering wheelchair liveable housing at the rates that our community needs. In 2021 Irish Wheelchair Association was part of a successful campaign to have ‘wheelchair liveable’ needs included as an option on social housing application forms. Before 2021 it had not even been possible for a disabled person to include their disability requirements in their local authority housing application.

This is how far behind we were on accessible social

We know that in Ireland there is a housing shortage. But for a wheelchair user there is a housing absence, a complete lack of any wheelchair liveable housing anywhere. This is why social housing is so vital for people with disabilities, because there are no private rental options there for them at the moment.

housing in Ireland.

The good news is that now in 2022 all local authorities have new application forms with options to include and register accessibility needs. So there has never been a better time to encourage your loved one to think about their future, the life they want to lead and where they want to live as they get older.

Yes , we had the appetite for something good, yes, we had the fantastic weather to play its part ..Yes we had the good will of many sponsors .but everything else required heavy lifting by Anthony ,

Stephen, Suzan, Honor and the team ...serious heavy lifting! The Dome relocating to the MTU ...IT WAS WONDERFUL ! I was there , DJ'ing my heart out ! Loads of Entertainment on the streets ...they were packed ...The Mini Dome ....The Park Festival ..a Dream ! Anthony's small team being lifted by an army of volunteers...Wonderful to see! The families of all the Roses being treated like royalty as were all the 33 Roses and indeed all the past Roses who attended . And the TV Shows , yes there

EDITORIAL COMMENT

were a few of them ...that’s some media coverage!! No where else in Ireland gets it!

Credit in a big way goes to RTE and their HUGE crew ! But really what stood out for me was that it was such a Family and Friends type Festival ...Everyone, and I mean Everyone, was having a great time in Tralee last week ...I'm hoarse from continuously talking about it to so many different people ...and for the future ?? Well , how about we firstly take a little time to sit back , take a breath and acknowledge those who

did the heavy lifting... and appreciate the huge economic boost this Festival gives to our town in the coming months ...all that money spent will circle continuously in the local economy for some time yet...

And then use this absolute success to support and secure in the coming months , the Future of Our Festival , The Rose Of Tralee!

Roll on the 62nd Festival...

Fenit Poet Lorraine excels at TrócairePoetry Ireland 2022 THE TEAM AT THE CLINIC ARE HERE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS ON COSMETIC AND HAIR RESTORATION ISSUES. Now that the festival is over and the kids are back at school, I want to make some time for myself. My friend has recently done a course of treatments for her tummy and I would like some more information please.

Noreen.

Hi Noreen, we have a lot of people thrilled with their results at CHRC. We have two treatments for the tummy area which help to tighten, sculpt and contour. The first one is fat reduction and the second is skin tightening. Both treatments are very safe and comfortable and part of our FDA approved Venus Bliss device which is non-surgical and non-invasive.

Fat reduction uses laser technology and is for stubborn pockets of fat at the waist, back and abdomen. It improves body contours without surgery, scars or downtime. It selectively breaks down fat cells which are naturally eliminated by the body. Skin tightening uses advanced radio frequency technology tightens the skin and reduces circumferences to contour the body. The applicator has a deep effect on the tissue and the skin will be firmer and smoother.

A course of treatments is recommended and treatment time is usually 30 minutes per treatment. The area will feel quite warm and will stay that way for up to two hours after your treatment. Along with the abdomen area, other areas that can be treated are the back, thighs, arms and legs.

A KERRY poet, Lorraine Carey , has been named among the winners of the 2022 TrócairePoetry Ireland poetry competition.

The Trócaire and Poetry Ireland annual competition, which this year had the theme ‘A Better Tomorrow’, uses the arts to raise awareness about global justice, ecological and equality issues.

Lorraine Carey from Fenit was named as the runner-up in the Adult Published Category with her poem ‘Days Like These’.

Lorraine’s poems are widely anthologised and published.

Longlisted in The National Poetry Competition 2019, she was selected for The Stinging Fly Summer School 2022 and has poetry forthcoming in Allium, Howl and Romance Options – an anthology of love poems from Dedalus Press.

Jane O’Hanlon from Poetry Ireland said, “I would like to express sincere thanks to everyone who supported the Trócaire Poetry Ireland Poetry Competition this year. The winning poems speak eloquently to urgent contemporary issues and yet manage to express hope in and for a ‘better tomorrow’”.

Joanne McGarry, Trócaire’s Campaigns and Volunteer Manager, said: “With entries from over 29 counties across the island of Ireland this year, and from as far afield as Canada, Australia, Nigeria and the U.S., we’d like to thank everyone who entered, the standard was superb. These wonderful poems highlight social justice and in turn increase awareness and understanding of the world we live in.

Poetry Ireland and Trócaire look forward to celebrating the winners of the competition with an in-person event, (the first to take place since before the Covid pandemic) on Culture Night, Friday 23 September, at Dublin City University (DCU).

Huge attendance at the Michael Collins Centenary Remembrance Event James ,Nora and Shameka Coffey from Tralee who attended the recent Beal na Bláth ceremony in West Cork commemorating the death of Michael Collins 100 years ago.

Huge crowds attended this event from all over the world to pay their respects .

Keep your Business in Tralee and keep Tralee in Business!

KP Therapy celebrate one year in Tralee with their Open Day! Celebrating their first year in Tralee, KP Therapy is the passion project of Monaghan native turned Lyreacrompanian; Kevin Prunty MSc NMT. Kevin opened his first clinic in 2005 and has been teaching neuromuscular therapy approaches across ireland and internationally since 2008.

Last September Kevin officially opened KP Therapy in the

Brandon Hotel and Conference Centre. He was shortly joined

by Kieran Slattery NMT and are currently looking to expand the team. KP Therapy has gone from strength to strength over the last year.

By far the most popular services are pain and injury treatments for chronic unresolved issues and Pilates instruction which Kevin says demonstrates the shift in visitor expectations toward the demand for a complementary medical, health and wellness experience. This goes beyond what a traditional hotel spa typically offer. Although Kevin says the vast majority

of costumers are local or traveling from every corner of Munster for our unique treatment approach.

The Brandon hotel actually provided the first hotel therapy rooms as part of the hospitality experience over 60 years ago and we like to think we are continuing this innovation today.

To mark the occasion KP Therapy are holding an open day on Saturday the 3rd of September, with spot prizes, tours and free consultations on the day, why not drop in and say hello.

IT’S ONLY A JOKE AS I SUSPECTED, SOMEONE HAS BEEN ADDING SOIL TO MY GARDEN...

The plot thickens.

MY FRIEND COULDN’T AFFORD TO PAY HIS WATER BILL. I sent him a “Get well soon” card

IT’S A 5 MINUTE WALK FROM MY HOUSE TO THE BAR, BUT A 45 MINUTE WALK FROM THE BAR TO MY HOUSE...

The difference is staggering

TRUMP AND HIS FAMILY ARE TRAVELLING IN A PLANE.

Trump decides to drop a 100 dollar note from the plane. His wife asks what he is doing. His reply is “I want to make an American happy” His wife replies back “Why don’t you drop ten 10 dollar notes and make ten Americans happy?”

Their daughter gives a suggestion “Why don’t you drop hundred 1 dollar notes and make hundred Americans happy?”

The pilot overhears their conversation and gives his own suggestion on the matter. and says to Trump “Why don’t you drop yourself from the plane and make all Americans happy?”

FATHER LOOKS HARD AT HIS TEENAGE SON AND SAYS, “JAMES, YOU’VE BEEN ADOPTED.”

James jumps up, “Adopted! I knew it! I want to meet my biological parents!” Father laughs, “No no, James, we are your biological parents. But you need to get packing, your adoptive ones will be here in an hour.”

THE DOCTOR SAYS The doctor says,

“Larry, everything looks great. How are you doing mentally and emotionally?

Are you at peace with God?” Larry replies, “God and I are tight. He knows I have poor eyesight, so He’s fixed it so when I get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, poof!

The light goes on. When I’m done, poof! The light goes off.”

“Wow, that’s incredible,” the doctor says.

A little later in the day, the doctor calls Larry’s wife.

“Bonnie,” he says, “Larry is doing fine! But I had to call you because I’m in awe of his relationship with God. Is it true that he gets up during the night, and poof, the light goes on in the bathroom, and when he’s done, poof, the light goes off?”

“Oh, no,” exclaims Bonnie. “He’s peeing in the refrigerator again!”

A MAN DECIDES TO GO TO A BAR WHERE HE SEES A BLONDE WOMAN.

Conversation begins and the two hit it off.

The blonde eventually asks the man when his birthday is.

“March 1st,” the man replies. Suddenly, the blonde gets up and stomps around the bar before coming back to her seat.

“So when is your birthday?” the woman again asks.

Not being too phased by this odd behavior, the man again answers “March 1st.” Again, the blonde woman stomps around the bar, this time louder and longer.

When back at her seat, she angrily demands, “Are you going to tell me your birthday, or are you just going to keep telling me to march around the damn bar again?

Restore energy levels as you age One of the things some people may feel as age creeps up on them is a lack of energy. This happens because as you age your body gradually loses its ability to make energy and your levels of COENZYME Q10 decrease.

This COENZYME Q10 is an essential vitamin like compound that cells need to make energy. We produce it in our liver and a certain amount of it comes from food that we eat. It is available in spray or capsule form to facilitate the energy turnover in cells. Many people take a COENZYME Q10 supplement daily as their energy boost and it is completely natural to the body. The increased energy levels enable people to engage in activities that would normally have been too strenuous for them.

Not only can a supplement of COENZYME Q10 help to restore energy levels in an ageing population, it can also help with issues such as lack of zest and physical decline.

Some of the quality brands of COENZYME Q10 you will find in HORANS HEALTHSTORE include: ONE NUTRITION, MACANTA AND PHARMANORD. Simply call instore for more advice and information.

Until next time, stay healthy

TALKING SPORT WITH THE TRALEE ADVERTISER

FAI NATIONAl P.R.O. OF THE YEAR ROSE CUP A HUGE SUCCESS: From the u9 and u10 girl’s Blitz where 8 teams from the KSBGL clubs took part to the visit of the Roses and the Escorts to Tralee Dynamos, where their dresses, suits and high heels didn’t stop them kicking a ball around, to the competition and finally the taking part by the Kerry u13 Girls in the Festival Parade and the presentation of the Cup to Cork and the Shield to South Tipperary on Stage the 2022 Rose Cup was a resounding success.

From a Kerry point of view they drew 1-1 with Clare and 0-0 with eventual runnersup MGL North from Dublin before a 2-0 loss to Cork saw them finish 3rd in their Group. They bounced back with a 2-0 win over West Cork which saw them reach the Shield Final. This was a cracker with Kerry scoring first and last but South Tipp had hit three in between to see the Kerry girls, under head coach Siobhan Cushen take home the silver medals.

TRALEE TEAM WILL CHERISH THE CHILDREN’S GAMES EXPERIENCE: The latest group of athletes to represent Tralee at the International Children’s Games in Coventry will have made memories for life.

Represented in basketball, swimming and on the track all the athletes put in a great effort led by Kieran Keane who brought home a silver medal in the shot-putt. The young Lispole man was beaming when he was on the podium with his family in the crowd. In the heat wave over 1500 athletes from 80 cities and 35 countries from around the world took part this year, the first time since the Covid pandemic enforced break.

Tralee ICG Chair Mike Culloty and all those involved in taking a team to the 16th games deserve great credit in giving so many young sports persons memories for life than they described as being “10 out of 10”.

CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS AT SEMI-FINAL STAGE: In the Kerry Petroleum Senior Club championship this Sunday at 6pm in Spa Kerins O’Rahillys will be the visitors while Dingle go to Templenoe.
