First Ever Tralee Fittest Duo a Huge Success in Blennerville Blennerville came alive on a bright autumn morning as the first ever Tralee Fittest Duo brought athletes, supporters, and volunteers together for a thrilling community sporting event. The atmosphere was electric as competitors of all levels tackled a gruelling circuit that demanded grit, stamina, and teamwork. The course left no easy moments, with challenges including rowing, cycling, running, tyre flips, burpees, log carries, and lunges. Each stage tested physical strength and mental resilience, while the duo format added a vital layer of partnership and strategy. In the Men’s Advanced division, David Clifford and Kieran O’Shea powered to first place, ahead

of Bobby Byrne and Paddy Moran in second. The Mixed Doubles Intermediate saw Liam and Sharon Poff take the win, with Brendan and Emma Poff second, and Paudi and Jennifer Bailey third. In the Men’s Double Intermediate, Paul Lynch and David Hennebry finished first, followed by Darren McEvoy and Evan Daly. Organised by McEvoy Coaching, Liam Poff, and St Pat’s GAA, the event was a resounding success. With glorious weather, big crowds, and outstanding performances, organisers confirmed Tralee’s Fittest Duo will return in January, and every few months thereafter.

Understanding the Flu Q: What is the flu?

A: The flu, or influenza, is a

contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. It can lead to mild to severe illness, and in some cases, serious complications, especially in young children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems.

Q: How does the flu spread?

A: The flu spreads mainly through droplets made when infected

Q: What are the common symptoms?

A: Symptoms usually come on suddenly and include fever, chills,

Q: How is the flu different from a cold?

A: While both are respiratory illnesses, the flu tends to be more

severe and comes on quickly. Colds are usually milder, with more nasal symptoms like a runny or stuffy nose.

Q: Can the flu be prevented?

A: Yes. The best way to prevent the flu is by getting a yearly flu

vaccine. Good hygiene practices, like frequent handwashing and covering your mouth when coughing or sneezing, also help reduce the spread.

Q: What should I do if I get the flu?

A: Rest, drink plenty of fluids, and take over-the-counter

medications to ease symptoms. Antibiotics do not work for the Flu or for a Cold as these are viral infections.

Q: When should I see a doctor?

A: Seek medical attention if you experience difficulty breathing,

chest pain, severe dehydration, or if symptoms worsen after initially improving.

LEGAL MATTERS CORNER MIRIAM MC GILLICUDDY ANSWERS YOUR LEGAL QUERIES

Saving the Trees Angela lives in a leafy suburb with many beautiful old trees. She is concerned that the landowners may cut them down for development.

Trees add character, aesthetic and beauty to a neighbourhood.

Trees have many benefits in our environment, producing oxygen for the air we breathe, providing a habitat and food for animals, storing carbon to reduce climate change and they help reduce risk of flooding, soil erosion and water pollution.

If a person fears that an owner may fell a tree that adds to the beauty of an area, they can apply under section 205 of the Planning and Development Act 2000 to ask the local authority to consider making a Tree Preservation Order. If the local authority was to make such a designation the tree must be of such aesthetic merit that it warrants the protection and should be the subject of a Tree Preservation Order. If the local authority does make such a designation this may be appealed by the tree owner to An Bord Pleanala. If a tree does have a Tree Preservation Order made in its favour this prevents the cutting down, topping, lopping or wilful destruction of a tree without the specific consent of the local authority. If a person fells a tree that is the subject of a Tree Preservation Order this is an offence and on summary conviction a person may be liable to a fine of €5000 and/or imprisonment for 6 months. Tree preservation orders can apply to one tree, a group of trees or a woodland. It is a good way of protecting our characterful older trees in an urban area.

The County Development Plan would also include objectives to preserve the natural environment including trees and hedgerows.

Section 7 of the Forestry Act 1946 makes it unlawful for pay person to uproot any tree over 10 years old or to cut down any tree unless application has been made to the Gardai of a tree felling notice. However, there are significant exemptions to this including the urban area, or near a road where a danger to the public.

Under the Wildlife legislation the cutting and felling of trees is generally prohibited from 1st March to 31st August. Again, this does have certain exceptions.

The tree council of Ireland keeps a register of trees, and one can apply to put trees on it with GPS location. Many of our special trees in Ireland are on an online database which is growing. www.treecouncil.ie . You can also sponsor a tree on the website and give a certificate of the tree sponsorship to a loved one for a special occasion. They also have a shop online of lovely tree related items which would make lovely Christmas presents.

Law quip: Trees are poems that the earth writes upon the sky.” Kahlil Gabran

Minister Foley Welcomes Extension of Free Travel Companion Pass in Kerry Minister for Children, Disability, Equality and Kerry T.D Norma Foley has welcomed the extension of the Free Travel companion pass, a move that will benefit over 19,000 people in Kerry.

From 29 September, people aged 70 and over with a valid Free Travel companion Public Services Card can bring another person, aged 16 or older, to travel with them for free on all public transport and certain private services under the Free Travel scheme. This includes bus, rail, Local Link, Luas, and selected private bus and ferry operators.

Nationwide, the expansion is expected to benefit up to 525,000 Free Travel recipients aged 70 and

over, with an estimated cost of €4.1 million this year. In Kerry, this means older residents can enjoy greater independence, security, and companionship while travelling.

Minister Foley said: “This significant expansion ensures that everybody with a valid Free Travel companion card in Kerry can bring another person on their journey. It gives older people freedom of choice and enhances mobility and social inclusion.”

The Free Travel Scheme currently serves over 1.1 million people, rising to 1.9 million when including companion and spousal passes.

This event is held in loving memory of Billy Brown, who received such wonderful care and compassion from the palliative care team in Tralee. It is a cause very close to our hearts, and all proceeds will go directly to support their invaluable work.

Kerry Launches Breastfeeding-Friendly Campaign in Tralee Healthy Kerry, HSE South West, and Kerry County Council are inviting the community to the launch of the ‘We’re Breastfeeding Friendly Kerry’ campaign on Monday, 6 October at 10 am in the Rose Hotel, Tralee. The initiative encourages businesses, organisations, and community spaces to support breastfeeding families.

The morning begins with a formal launch from 10–11 am, featuring talks on creating welcoming environments for mothers and babies. From 11 am–12 pm, Audrey from Giddy Goats will lead a momand-baby play session, offering a light-hearted opportunity for connection. Everyone is welcome, from local café owners to parents seeking support.

The campaign aims to integrate breastfeeding support into daily

life across Kerry. By promoting breastfeeding-friendly policies in shops, restaurants, workplaces, and community centres, it seeks to improve maternal and child health, reduce environmental waste, and foster inclusivity. A simple sticker or friendly nod can transform a routine outing into a confident, stress-free experience for nursing mothers.

Local businesses can request a campaign pack, including a best-

practice booklet, an A6 window sticker, and an A3 poster to show support. Kerry’s Public Health Nursing teams already host breastfeeding support groups, and this initiative extends that support into everyday spaces.

Helen Sheehy, Public Health Nurse, explains: “A simple sticker transforms uncertainty into confidence, encouraging longer breastfeeding and showing Kerry values families.”

Healthy Kerry Coordinator Deirdre Hegarty adds: “Embedding support into everyday spaces sends a strong message of inclusivity and care.”

To join the movement, attend the launch at the Rose Hotel on 6 October and register at: https://bookwhen.com/ healthpromotiontraining/e/evskj3-20251006100000

Heather Takes Presidential Campaign to Kerry

Presidential candidate Heather Humphries visited Kerry last Friday as part of her election campaign, focusing on engaging with communities across the county.

Her Kerry tour included stops in Killarney, where she spoke with Jerry O’Sullivan at Radio Kerry studios and enjoyed a jaunting car ride before visiting Muckross House. There, she was warmly greeted by Minister Michael Healy Rae, who praised her experience and capability. Heather also met with Muckross House Manager Shane Treacy and Trustees, and spoke with Killarney Chamber

of Commerce, highlighting the President’s role in promoting Irish tourism and business overseas.

In Beaufort, Heather visited St Francis Special School, meeting Principal Colin O’Sullivan and the students, with greetings from Sean Kelly MEP. The focus then shifted to Tralee, where Heather met with Tralee Women’s Shed, celebrating her longstanding support for Women’s Sheds through dedicated funding streams. She also visited Tralee Credit Union, recalling her own days as a Credit Union Manager and

praising the community spirit of the movement.

Heather’s Kerry tour concluded with visits to Listowel, including the John B. Keane Statue and the

Listowel Races, where she met local attendees, rounding out a day connecting with communities across the county.

Dove Ensemble Delivers at Listowel Races Ladies Day Listowel Races Ladies Day once again dazzled as Kerry’s Joann Murphy, from Kilgarvan, was crowned the McElligotts Kia Best Dressed Lady 2025.

by a sculpted dove headpiece by renowned milliner Carol Kennelly.

Her timeless look earned her a luxurious trip for two to New York, with accommodation at the iconic Fitzpatrick Hotel, Manhattan.

The Most Creative Headpiece prize went to Jordana Lambadanos from Templeglantine, Limerick, for her nature-inspired Marc Millinery design, paired with a mustard Karen Millen midi dress. She received €1,000 for her bold choice.

Meanwhile, Listowel’s own Mairead Walsh scooped Most Contemporary Outfit, winning €500 for her elegant midnight-blue Alessandra Rich dress from Goose Boutique, Tralee. The dress, once worn by Kate Middleton, was a pre-loved find. Mairead’s win capped an exciting week, as she had just celebrated her wedding days earlier.

Judges Louise Duffy and fashion designer Shauna Courtney praised the exceptional standard of style, with crowds treated to a spectacle of feathers, fascinators, and flair.

The festival atmosphere was further enhanced by the popular double-

KERRY FC MATCH REPORT SSE Airtricity Men’s First Division – Round 33 Kerry FC 1–1 Treaty United Kerry FC hosted Treaty United for their final Munster Derby of the season at Mounthawk Park. Coming off a loss to UCD and a draw against Athlone, Kerry were eager for a positive result ahead of their historic FAI Cup Semi-Final next week.

The first half saw Kerry start brightly with early chances from Robbie Cleary and Finn Barrett. Treaty’s Patrick Ferry missed a golden opportunity before the break, keeping the score 0–0 at half-time.

In the second half, Kerry dominated possession and pressed hard.

Substitutes Sean McGrath and Luke Doolan added energy, and in the 83rd minute, McGrath fired home a brilliant strike to give Kerry the lead. d However, Treaty equalised in the 90th minute with a stunning goal from Ben Lee after a clever assist from Roy Lawlor. Treaty nearly snatched a winner in stoppage time, but Lawlor’s header went wide.

A 1–1 draw se es Kerry rue a late concession, but they’ll now turn their focus to the FAI Cup Semi-Final against Shamrock Rovers in Tallaght — the biggest match in club history.

Goal for Kerry: Sean McGrath (83’) Goal for Treaty: Ben Lee (90’)

IN MEMORY THE MIRACLE PRAYER Dear Heart of Jesus in the past I have asked for many favours, this time I ask you this special one (mention favour).
