Women find their Field of Dreams THE football women of Waterford have found their Field of dDeams.

Waterford Ladies Gaelic Football Association (WLGFA) have become the first women’s county football team to fully own their own ground.

The 11-acre site beside the Greenway - at Ballinroad, near Dungarvan - has been bought after years of fundraising.

Work will start in summer on a state-of-the-art pitch, changing rooms and spectator stand.

There will be a coach and car park and a six lane running track around the perimeter.

The fit-out will be funded by the sale of nearby development lands, with profit split between the WLGFA (70%) and the local Kilgobinet GAA club .

John Frewen, Chairperson WLGFA said they were grateful to the owner of the site, known locally as the Duckspool site, who had made them the main beneficiary of its sale when it secures planning permission.

The facilities will be available for use by all county and club teams across all grades in the

Waterford LGFA and will mean that county players will no longer have to travel to different GAA fields around the county and not knowing where their next training session will be.

“It is the intention of the Waterford Ladies Gaelic Football Association to provide a multifunctional playing and facilities development in what is a strategic location in the county,” said Edel Curry, secretary of Waterford LGFA field development subcommittee.

“Ladies Gaelic Football is the fastest growing sport in Ireland today and our facility will be the first of its kind.The youngsters who will benefit from this development will be our stars of the future and hopefully bring continued All Ireland glory.”

Michelle Ryan, a former Waterford LGFA senior county team player said she was delighted with the plans .

“This will be a very valuable asset to Waterford LGFA, as it will create a much-needed base that we can call our own.”she said.

Sadhbh’s cup is a winner House costs

to rise faster in county than in city

A PUPIL from Scoil Glór na Mara in Tramore has reached the final of a prestigious national art competition.

was hugely encouraged by the growing interest in the competition, particularly given the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and the added public health requirements placed on teachers and pupils.

“We are exceptionally pleased with the response to this year’s competition,” she said.

“2020 was a difficullt year for everyone, not least teachers and their pupils.”

Network gets a new leader

EADAOIN Carrick has been elected Waterford branch president of Network Ireland, an organisation that supports the professional and personal development of women.

Ms Carrick, co-owner and director of Cantec, a print provider with its head office in Cleaboy Business Park, succeeds Amy O’Sullivan who wished her well.

“2020 was a challenging year for so many, both in business and in our personal lives, and it certainly highlighted the importance of being part of a collaborative and supportive organisation like Network Ireland,” she said.

Ms Carrick (above) said she was honoured to be stepping into the role. “Together with the new committee I hope to continue the great work of our organisation,” she said.

HOUSE prices in Waterford county are expected to rise faster than in the city this year, reversing the trend of the last 12 months.

The price of the average three-bed semi in Waterford county is expected to rise by 5% in the next 12 months, according to a survey by the Real Estate Alliance.

A 2% rise is expected in the city.

Three-bed semi-detached homes in the county now cost an average of €182,500, up 2.5% on the December 2019 average of €178,000.

Prices in the county increased by 1.4% between September and December, the Q4 REA Average House Price Index shows In the city, the same type of home rose by 7%, increasing in price from €215,000 to €230,000 in the last quarter of 2020.

As supply struggles to keep pace with demand, city homes are selling four weeks quicker, taking 12 weeks to sell in September but falling to eight weeks at the end of 2020.

Strong demand, particularly from first-time buyers, and a shortage of supply is driving prices upwards, in addition to people moving out of Dublin.

The REA Average House Price Survey concentrates on the actual sale price of Ireland’s typical stock home,

the three-bed semi, giving an up-to-date picture of the second-hand property market in towns and cities countrywide.

Agents now expect price rises of 5% in three-bed semis across Waterford county in 2021 – and a 2% rise in the city, down on the 7% experienced in 2020.

“The sale of second-hand houses has not been affected despite Covid-19,” said Des O’Shea of REA O’Shea O’Toole in Waterford city.

Overall, the market in the final three months of 2020 was buoyant, fuelled by rising demand for detached four-bedroomed homes.

Eamonn Spratt of REA Spratt, Dungarvan, said agents expect selling prices to rise further. “However, we potentially see rental returns diminishing by reason of the impact of new homes, both private and affordable, being delivered to the market with the buyers moving out from rental accommodation, freeing up more rental stock,” he said.

Nationally, the price of a three-bedroomed semi-detached house across the country rose by more than €3,000 over the past three months to €239,194 – an annual increase of 1.9%.

The price of a three-bedroomed semi-detached house in Dublin city rose by 0.6% to €431,833 .

Tenants hit by move to fix bad housing ATTEMPTS to make landlords fix substandard housing are backfiring on the tenants.

Their pight was raised at a Waterford council meeting by Councillor Conor D. McGuinness.

The Sinn Féin councillor said that when tenants receiving support under the Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) scheme report substanard housing the council is likely to end the subsidy.

“The one sanction that the council has for dealing with bad landlords that let substandard properties is to remove HAP supports,” he said.

“Unfortunately this only affects

the tenants, and pushes them close to homelessness.”

Cllr McGuinness said he knew several households who would not report their accommodation to the council, despite very serious problems, ranging from chronic dampness to faulty doors and windows, structural issues and exposed wiring.

He said: “I have written to the Housing Minister asking for action to be taken to protect tenants in this type of situation, and I have requested that the council’s Housing Department consider naming and shaming landlords that persistently rent out sub-standard or unsafe properties.”

Figures point to breach of stay home rule THE ‘stay home’ Covid rule was widely ignored across Waterford in Christmas week . Figures from the Central Statistics Office show that almost half of the city and county’s rersidents went further than 10km from their home each day on the week ending December 24.

Things improved the following week, with the percentage staying home in Waterford going up from 51.3% to 56.6% Although many of us went beyond the 10km limit, Waterford’s figures were among the best in the country.

Only Dublin and Louth recorded better stay-home figures in Christmas week and only Dublin, Louth, Westmeath and Monaghan

were better in the week to December 31.

The CSO survey is based on statistical analysis of anonymised, aggregated, mobile phone activity.

Its Staying Local Indicator shows that, nationally, the week ending 24 December had the highest mobility level of any week since the start of the pandemic .

Far more people stayed home during the first phase of the pandemic, reaching a peak of 76.7% in April last year.

In the second phase , staying home peaked at 62.9% in the week ending November 4.

The figures over Christmas showed greater levels of travel than in some weeks before the pandemic.

In January and February last

year an average of 56.5% of the population were estimated to have stayed local each day.

PAY NOW: Sinn Féin spokesperson on Health, the Waterford TD David Cullinane TD, has called on the Minister for Health to immediately give full pay to student nurses and midwives.

He is bringing a motion to the Dáil today (Wednesday) calling for an end to pay delay.

“The Minister for Health has suggested paying student nurses and midwives just €100 per week. This won’t cut it,” said Mr Cullinane.

“Where students are needed to fill employment gaps they should be paid appropriately,” said the TD.

Here comes vaccine visa

A WATERFORD nursing home is among the first in Europe to back up its vaccination programme with a health passport.

Health Passport Europe is a digital platform, engineered in Ireland, which allows people to securely store and display their Covid-19 vaccine status and test results.

It is now being used by staff at the Care Choice Nursing Home in Dungarvan.

“The Health Passport Europe digital platform has a key role

to play, supporting vaccinations and testing,” said Robert Quirke, founder of the company behind the platform.

Hi Aoife, I’ve found your ball ... in Wales!

AOIFE Ni Niocaill thought she had seen the last of her football when it was swept out with the tide into a stormy sea off Woodstown beach at Dunmore East.

But a week later she was alerted to a social media post from a woman in in the Welsh village of Llanrhystud.

“If anyone knows Aoife Ni Niocaill, her football’s just washed up on Llanrhystud beach in West Wales!” wrote Aline Denton.

Aoife (10) had written her name on the ball and it took only a few hours to track her down. with hundreds of people sharing the Facebook post.

Aoife’s dad Ruairí told WLR: “A friend of mine messaged me asking if this was Aoife’s ball and then a second friend messaged me .

“It shows you the power of social media when used for good.

“It only took five hours to find Aoife, it’s very impressive what a powerful tool it can be.”.

No cheers for our Pussyfoot

B

efore America introduced n a t i o n a l prohibition in 1920, an anti-drink campaigner by the name of Pussyfoot Johnson attempted to bring it in state by state.

If he couldn’t persuade a state’s legislators to order a total ban on the sale of alcohol he would aim for minor restrictions designed to make drinking as unpleasant and difficult as possible.

Pussyfoot managed to push through a raft of laws which he described as pinpricks, many of them contradictory and some quite idiotic.

In one state, bars were required to have front windows so big that everyone inside could be seen from the street. In another state, bars weren’t allowed to have any front-facing windows at all.

Some states banned women drinkers and some banned women from drinking in the company of men. In Oklahoma, a man was obliged to leave the

HSE/South East Community Healthcare vaccination team member Lucy Whelan administers the Covid Vaccine to Director of Nursing Mary Veale at the Waterford Residential Care Centre.

Michael Wolsey bar if a member of his family turned up and ordered him home. In Kansas, drinks had to be bought with the exact money required - giving change was illegal.

During the time of our last Government, the spirit of Pussyfoot was alive and well in the Department of Health. The minister, Simon Harris, who should have had more important things to do with his time, spent a lot of it devising pinpricks to frustrate drinkers.

He had plans for minimum pricing and point-of-sale restrictions which seem to have fallen by the wayside. But a couple of his pinprick policies have been ushered in by his suc-

cessor, Stephen Donnelly, who also should have more important things to be doing.

Shortly before Christmas, supermarkets began partitioning off the shelves that hold alcohol and restricting entry to these areas with little swing doors, miniature versions of the ones that used to be a feature of saloons in the old cowboy films.

They don’t actually restrict entry, of course. You push them open with your trolley and they achieve nothing at all except, in

the best tradition of Pussyfoot Johnson, to be a bit of a nuisance.

Now Mr Donnelly has outlawed promotional offers on drink. Shops can’t award loyalty points for the wine or beer they sell and customers can’t buy these products with points they have accrued.

What does the minister, who should be devoting every working hour to the battle against Covid 19, hope to achieve with these pinpricks?

The sale of alcohol is not illegal so why, Mr Donnelly, have you gone out of your way to make it expensive?

You won’t prevent under-age drinking. That is illegal anyway, and can best be curbed by enforcing the existing laws.

And you won’t be helping the guys who knock back snakebites on the park bench - I don’t see many of them building up loyalty points in the supermarket.

In a small, annoying way, you are hitting me and thousands of people like me. Your new measures won’t change my drinking habits, although I may switch from shops that use vouchers and loyalty points to ones that simply sell their drink at a lower price.

But that, Mr Donnelly, is a matter between me and the retailer.

What business is it of yours if I chose to spend some of my money on alcohol instead of, say, chocolate biscuits or soft drinks filled with sugar?

Pussyfoot Johnson believed he had a right to interfere in that sort of way but Americans

begged to differ. They abandoned prohibition and the silly laws he encouraged were either repealed or simply fell into disuse.

The ordinances of Pussyfeet Harris and Donnelly will go the same way but, sadly, we will all have to live with them for a few years yet.

For more than 50 years, Michael Wolsey has been writing columns and comment pieces for newspapers in Ireland and Britain and a collection of these has now been published

All proceeds from sales of the book will be donated to Nala, the National Adult Literacy Agency, which helps adults who have difficulty reading.

with Justin Ivory

Look up to feel better!

Beech Trees (Photo Justin Ivory) Well, it has not been the best of starts to 2021 with us all being thrown into lockdown again, but it is an opportunity to re-acquaint ourselves with he wonders on our doorsteps again. And if you are still suffering from January and pandemic blues then stop, look up, and stare at the trees. It’s guaranteed to make you feel better and that is a scientific fact!

Trees make us happy. It has been shown that time spent staring at or being around trees lifts our mood and makes us feel better about ourselves, as well as providing a multitude of other benefits.

Trees boost our immune systems. They protect themselves from germs by releasing antimicrobial oils called phytoncides. These same phytoncides also have positive effects on us and improve our immune systems.

Studies have found that people who walk where there are trees have reduced stress levels and display lower blood pressure, lower cortisol levels and lower pulse rates because of phytoncides. We could all do with a bit of that in these bad news times.

Another study has shown that trees can make us kinder to each other! The study measured empathy levels between 2 groups. One group that had to stare up at buildings and another group who had to stare up at trees.

The group who stared up at trees felt a sense of wonder and awe and displayed higher empathy levels than the other group.

We could all do with reduce stress levels, a boost to our immune systems and being kinder to each other. So, over the next few weeks make sure to get out for local walks and remember to stop and look up at those trees – it’s good for you.

girls play too

by Jacqui Hurley

Laochra Gael Thursday 21st February, 9.30pm, TG4

the white tiger Netflix, from Friday January 22nd

IN 1956, Maeve Kyle became our first female Olympian, and in 1978 rally driver Rosemary Smith broke the country’s land-speed record.

Through the 1990s and 2000s we had world champions in Sonia O’Sullivan, Derval O’Rourke and Olive Loughnane, and more recently, the fantastic Katie Taylor, Kellie Harrington and Annalise Murphy have been among those who have put Irish sportswomen on the map.

This book is a first ever compendium of stories for children about our best contemporary sportswomen and is a must for the coffee table.

Told by RTÉ’s Jacqui Hurley, the stories prove being a girl is not a barrier to sporting success.

Laochra Gael has returned to our TV screens, with 12 GAA stars profiled in another fine season. The third outing looks at Thérèse Maher, the eighth in a family of 11 children from a famous hurling family. Known by her peers as ‘The Queen’, Maher was arguably the most talented player to represent the Tribeswomen and her own journey to reach the winner’s enclosure in Croke Park proved just as epic a tale as Galway’s long wait.

Winner of Five All Star awards in 2005, 2008, 2009 and 2011, she finally got her All-Ireland Medal in 2013.

BASED on the New York Times bestseller and 2008 Man Booker Prize-winning novel by Aravind Adiga, this rags to riches tale describes the rise of a poor villager through the caste system to become successful entrepreneur in modern India. Cunning and ambitious, the young hero struggles at first to become a driver before inveigling himself into the circle of his rich masters and making himself, he believes, indispensable. You can guess the rest whilst knowing there will still be a happy outcome for our protagonist as he defies all the odds. More life lessons, if you’re up for them.

YOU don’t even need a garden to partake in this family activity which is perfect while the restrictions are still in place, and you’ll be doing those feathered friends who haven’t bolted for the sunnier climes of North Africa a real favour.

The kids will love these simple homemade feeders and enjoy even more the spectacle of the birds coming to feed each day — it does take time, so don’t expect an Alfred Hitchcock scenario in the first week. Do take time while you visit this site to explore some of the other activities you can enjoy on your own doorstep over the winter.

NEVER thought of stuffing omelettes before?

Try this out for the family dinner on a drab Tuesday and you’ll be a star in the home.

These ham roll-ups are filled with scrambled eggs along with bell peppers and onions (and anything else that you can reasonably squeeze in) then topped with a creamy rich cheese sauce and placed in the oven. The prep time is down for 20 minutes, but take that with a pinch of salt. It will likely take longer depending on the amount you want to make — and don’t be afraid to experiment!

If you’ve lost count of the number of spin-offs and outings from the Jurassic Park franchise, then you’re probably not alone. But chances are the kids won’t remember the first movie, which makes you the real dinosaur. Things have moved on a lot since Sam Neill and Laura Dern dodged the jaws of a T-Rex and over a series of eight, 22-minute episodes, Camp Cretaceous follows a bunch of CGI kids find a way to try and escape the island during a dino rampage. It features the voices of a cast of hot new stars and if you recognise any of them, you’re probably not a dinosaur after all.

‘DO we make some sleepy acoustic album as we ride off into the sunset of our career?” asked Dave Grohl when discussing Foo Fighters’ upcoming 10th studio effort recently. ​ “Or do we make a f***ing party record?” The album was due to be out this time last year, but that little issue of a virus . . . not that it had any influence on the title. Or maybe it did. To add more mystery, the album was recorded in a “f***ed-up old house” in California, where strange things happened. Which might explain why it comes in at just nine songs.

From January 25th to January 29th, join some of the Irish Times top writers when internationally renowned guests and Irish journalists get together for a festival of conversation, culture and ideas and general banter. Guests include Gabriel Byrne, Luke O’Neill, Micheál Martin, Nicola Sturgeon and Mairéad McGuinness among many others.

You must book a place and tickets are priced from €25 - €50, giving you access to the full festival.

RTÉ Brainstorm’s podcast takes some of their most popular pieces from the Brainstorm section of RTE.ie and turns them into audio.

I think of you each day I wake, I dream of you each night I sleep.

Of times gone by and memories made, Happy times we both shared.

But now you’re gone I feel alone, My house no longer feels like a home.

- Rest in peace dad.

From your loving son Eoin, and grand kids Robert Emmett and Eoin Jr.

In Loving Memory Unseen and unheard but always near, So loved, so missed, so very dear

17th Anniversary MARGARET HOGAN

In loving memory of Richard “Dixie” Aldridge late of Close Gate, The Manor, Waterford whose 12th anniversary occurs on the 22nd January.

Dad, When someone dies where do they go, It’s not into the ground you know, It’s up in the clouds above the trees, To a place called Heaven, with beautiful seas, No pollution, no acid rain, But most of all there is no pain, To rest all day in the sun, Enjoy it all and have some fun, Because with friends and family all around, They’re ever so happy in the place that they’ve found, And most of all it is the best, Because Heaven’s a place not like all the rest.

- From your daughters, sons and extended family.

Will those who think of him today, a little prayer to Jesus say.

In loving memory of Gerry Brown, late of 18 Hawthorn Drive, Hillview who died on the 19th of January 2010.

In loving memory of our dear brother John Corcoran, late of 96 Cannon St. and Queen St, Tramore who died on 19th January 2002, and our dear sister Kathleen Croke, who died 18th January 2019.

You are always on our minds, No matter what we do, All the time within our hearts, There is a thought of you, Remembering when life for us, Was rich and good and sweet, Wondering how many days, Must pass before we meet, Never for a moment, Are you very far away, Absent and yet near you seem, And dearer each day, Love is like a bridge, That spans the space that divides, Parted yet in dreams we walk, Together side by side.

- Loved and remembered by your sisters Mary, Pauline, Breda, brothers in law, nieces and nephews xxxx.

The day you left and gained your wings, My heart just broke in two, I wish you could have stayed, But heaven needed you, You left me with the memories, And I love you dearly still, No matter how much time goes by, You know I always will.

- Your god daughter Lorraine and David. o holy st anthony Gentlest of saints, your love for God and charity for your neighbour, made you worthy while on earth to possess miraculous powers. Miracles waited on your word, which you were ever ready to speak for those in trouble or anxiety. Encouraged by this thought I implore of you to obtain for me my request.

The answer to my prayer may require a miracle, even so you are the saint of miracles. O gentle and loving St Anthony, whose heart was ever full of human sympathy, intercede for me and whisper my prayer into the ear of the sweet Infant Jesus who loved to linger in your arms and the gratitude of my heart will be yours. K.G.

Novena Prayer to Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Remember, Our Lady of the Sacred Heart, the great things the Lord has done for you; He chose you for His mother, He wanted you close to His cross, He gives you a share in His glory. He listens to your prayer. Offer Him our prayers of praise and thanksgiving. Present our petitions to Him. Share your petitions silently with Our Lady. Let us live like you in the love of your Son that His Kingdom may come. Lead all people to the source of living water that flows from His Heart, spreading over the world hope and salvation, justice, and peace. See our trust in you; answer our prayer.

Show yourself always, our Mother.

Amen. J.P.

It’s always sad but comforting, Your smile and dear familiar face, So lovd by one and all, For the world may keep on turning, And change from day to day, But precious memories of you, Will never fade away, And here’s hoping that this message, Which carries so much love, Will somehow find it’s way to you, In Heaven up above, It’s to let you know dear Gerry, That although you are at rest, You’ll live forever in the hearts, Of those who loved you best.

- Always loved, never forgotten by your loving wife Mary, A tribute of love to a father so dear, So close to our hearts each day of the year, We will always have memories to cherish and hold Of a wonderful father more precious than gold.

- From your daughter Bernie, son-in-law Jim, Shannon and Dylan. Always loved and remembered every day Although we smile and make no fuss, No one misses you more than us, And when old we do recall, That’s when we miss you most of all.

- From your son Gerard and family, never forgotten.

Novena to the Sacred Heart Dear Heart of Jesus, in the past I have asked for many favours, this time I ask for this one special favour (mention favour).

Take it Dear Jesus and place it within Your own broken heart, where Your Father sees it. Then in His merciful eyes it will become Your favour and not mine. Say this prayer for 3 days. Promise publication and favour will be granted.

Never known to fail. A.P.

In loving memory of our father Pat McDonagh, late of 44 Richardsons Meadow, whose Birthday occurs on 22nd January.

Missing you on your birthday, As I visit your resting place, Upon this special day, Once more I feel the sadness, That will never go away, Forever since you’re gone, Life has never been the same, Yet it comforts me to know, That one day we’ll meet again, Until that day arrives, I’ll relive every memory of the happy times, We shared together you and me, For I miss you so very much, and words never could convey the extent of the joy, That you brought to me every day.

- Love from your loving wife who misses you dearly.

Dad, Those we love don’t go away, They walk beside us every day Unseen, unheard but always near, So loved, so missed so very dear.

- Happy birthday dad, love Eddie, Jill, Dylan, Sophia and Grace xxxxx.

They say there is a reason, They say that time will heal, But neither time nor reason, Will change the way I feel, For no-one knows the heartache, That lies behind our smiles, No-one knows how many times, We have broken down and cried, We want to tell you something, So there won’t be any doubt, You’re so wonderful to think of, But so hard to be without.

- Happy birthday dad, your loving son Oliver.

You never said I’m leaving You never said goodbye You were gone before we knew it And only God knew why, A million times I needed you A million times I cried If love alone could have saved you You never would have died In life I loved you dearly In death I love you still In our hearts we hold a place

You are always there for me, No matter what I do, Everyone can see, there is no one quite like you, So dad on this special day, I woud like you to know, Although I very rarely say, I really love you so.

- Have a very special birthday daddy, love Rosemary and Jason, Indiana and Pat. Happy birthday in heaven to m y lovely father, I hope you know how much I love and miss you every passing day.

- I love and miss you daddy, love from daughter Lyndsey My Daddy, I know this man Who is dear to my heart.

Suddenly one day It was torn all apart.

This man taught me everything That I needed to know, But I never really listened Until he had to go.

He gave me love And touched my life.

It’s all over now; He no longer has to fight.

He tried to teach me Right from wrong.

The day he left I wasn’t that strong.

He is gone now, It is hard to believe.

This man is my dad Whom I will never see.

But I will see him again, This I know.

The day will come When it’s time for me to go.

So, I’ll hold him dear And close to my heart ‘Cause the day we meet I know we’ll never be torn apart.

- Love from your daughter Lisa Marie Happy Birthday Pat, I miss you every day, You are such a special person In every little way, I’ll blow out your birthday candles & send you a wish, Send us back a smile Pat & blow us all a kiss.

- From your brother Anthony, Lisa and kids.

In loving memory of Margaret Hogan, née Kirby, late of 3 Hazelbrook Road, Riverview, Knockboy, Waterford, who died on 15th January 2004.

I want to tell you something, I don’t know where to start, I only know I miss you, From the bottom of my heart, I often lay awake at night, When the world is fast asleep, I’d take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon my cheeks.

They say that time heals everything, I can’t believe it’s true, Because in my heart I still remember, The day that I lost you.

- Always love you, from your sisters May, Teresa, Veronica, Breda, Brother-in-law Billy, nieces and nephews Novena to the Sacred Heart Dear Heart of Jesus, in the past I have asked for many favours, this time I ask for this one special favour (mention favour).

Take it Dear Jesus and place it within Your own broken heart, where Your Father sees it. Then in His merciful eyes it will become Your favour and not mine. Say this prayer for 3 days. Promise publication and favour will be granted.
