Toasties: The Alchemy Of Cheese, Bread, Butter And Heat

by Sinéad Sheehy & Ann Ní Chíobháin “Good ingredients, culture and nostalgia is the recipe for a great toastie!”

Raised in Corca Dhuibhne, surrounded by land and sea, Ann Ní Chíobháin and Sinéad Sheehy grew up immersed in Ireland’s food culture, reared on unpasteurised milk, homegrown vegetables, and the expectation that quality matters.

Their joint passion for Irish artisanal cheese created the foundation for Cáis, the cult favourite toastie project Ann and Sinéad launched in 2020, when they opened a food truck. What began as a small, seasonal operation behind Dick Mack's quickly became a pilgrimage site for locals and visitors alike, earning a fiercely loyal following.

Now they are giving the most comforting food its due with TOASTIES, a celebration of the humble toastie and the extraordinary alchemy that happens when good bread, Irish cheese, real butter, and heat come together.

TOASTIES which was launched in O'Flaherty's last Friday, features the very best of Cáis, including customer favourites like Ar Tine (chilli beef, pickled jalapeno, Bookers Vintage Cheddar), sharing hot takes on nostalgic events with the Italia 90 (aubergine parmigiana with Drumlin smoked cheese), levelling up classic sandwiches with The Rebel Reuben (spiced beef, thousand island dressing, cucumber pickle, Durrus Óg) and introducing sweet editions such as Sméara Dubha (stewed blackberries, whipped mascarpone, cinnamon sugar) to show just how versatile your toasties can be.

Alongside practical tips and tried-and-tested methods, Ann and Sinéad also include step-by-step guidance on how to build the perfect cheese and charcuterie board – a practical, life-affirming skill every host should have in their back pocket.

Packed with inventive, crowd-pleasing recipes rooted in Ireland’s rich dairy tradition with an emphasis on Irish artisanal cheese, TOASTIES elevates humble classics with bold, playful combinations and shares the kind of hard-earned kitchen wisdom that only comes from feeding real people, every day.

Toasties is published by Blasta Books and is available now

Distinctive pieces handmade with skill and passion in the West Kerry Gaeltacht.

Strawberry Fields…for Another While Yet Irene Flannery

fruit called an achene, containing its own seed. A strawberry may carry around 200 of them — a crowd of little fruits pretending to be one.

Its botany may be complicated, but nutritionally the strawberry is refreshingly straightforward. It is mostly water, relatively low in natural sugar and provides fibre along with an impressive amount of vitamin C. Vitamin C supports normal collagen formation in the skin, blood vessels, bones and connective tissues, helps the immune system function normally and improves our absorption of iron from plant foods.

Strawberries also contain anthocyanins, ellagic acid and other polyphenols, the naturally occurring plant compounds responsible for much of their colour and some of their protective qualities. Research continues into their possible role in cardiovascular and metabolic health, although, as ever, the benefit comes from eating them as part of a varied diet rather than treating the punnet as a prescription. Their high water content is welcome in warmer weather, while their vitamin C supports normal collagen formation at a time when our skin may be getting more sun and exposure. Not, obviously, as a substitute for sunscreen, but as one useful part of the summer diet.

The first local strawberries always seem to mark the real beginning of summer, and for a few weeks we remember what strawberries are actually meant to taste like. By now, that first flush of excitement has passed, Wimbledon has packed away the whites along with the strawberries and cream, yet somehow we are still finding delicious Irish strawberries in the shops and at roadside stalls. Perhaps the warm spell helped some of them along, although heat is not always the strawberry grower’s friend. The plants are shallow-rooted and can struggle when the ground becomes too dry. Our extended season owes as much to careful growing, protective tunnels and modern varieties that fruit later or keep producing throughout the summer. Whatever the reason, we are not complaining. A good strawberry in late July still deserves our full attention.

For centuries, people in Europe gathered tiny wild or woodland strawberries, Fragaria vesca, from hedgerows, woodland edges and grassy banks. They are the same little perennial strawberries still found in many Irish gardens today: small, intensely fragrant and apparently worth the effort of stooping for, although gathering enough for to fill a punnet must have required more patience than most of us now possess. Charming as these little strawberries are, they are not the direct equivalent of the large, plump fruit we buy today. The modern strawberry came from a much more adventurous history, involving two continents, a spy and a trip across the pond.

They also play well with the other foods around us now. Their vitamin C helps us absorb more of the iron from leafy greens, lentils and beans, while yoghurt, oats, nuts and seeds make them part of a more sustaining breakfast. Alongside blackcurrants, raspberries and cherries, they add another mixture of colourful plant compounds to the plate. Nature rarely puts all her good ideas into one food, which is why variety matters far more than chasing whichever fruit happens to be fashionable this week.

Of course, there is no need to make every strawberry work for its nutritional living. Eat them straight from the punnet, preferably at room temperature, and do not even think about what they are doing for you.

Add yoghurt or cream, crush them onto good bread, or leave them briefly with a little lemon juice and black pepper.

Wexford strawberries may be enjoying a particularly good season and are used to hogging the strawberry limelight, but our own locally grown fruit can be every bit as memorable when picked ripe and eaten close to home.

Unlike the French spy, I thought I had missed the boat with this strawberry story, but the person who suggested it was right. The first fruits may get all the ceremony and Wimbledon may be over, yet there is still plenty of the strawberry season left to enjoy.

Irene Flannery, Nutritional Therapist - 086 166 2562 www.omnom.ie

During the 1500s, the Virginia strawberry, native to eastern North America, was brought to Europe. It was sweet and flavoursome, but still quite small.

Then, nearly two hundred years later, a French naval officer and spy named Amédée-François Frézier travelled to Chile to check out what the Spanish were getting up to there . While taking notes on harbours, cannons and military defences, he also noticed that local people were growing unusually large strawberries. This may be the only time espionage has made a meaningful contribution to dessert.

Frézier brought several Chilean strawberry plants back to France. The Ooh-la-las for the large fruit was soon hushed as the plants did not initially perform very well. However, the Chilean strawberry soon crossed the Virginian strawberry in European gardens – et voila! A plant combining size, flavour and productivity. That hybrid, Fragaria × ananassa, became the ancestor of most cultivated strawberries grown today.

What the wild strawberry lacks in size, it often makes up for in perfume; one tiny fruit can smell more convincingly of strawberries than an entire supermarket punnet bought out of season. Strawberries were once valued for more than their fruit. The leaves and roots of wild strawberries were brewed as teas in European herbal traditions, largely because their tannins gave them an astringent quality, while the fruit appeared in syrups, preserves and skin remedies. Strawberry juice even found its way into the beauty routines of pale, well-to-do ladies hoping for a fresher complexion.

Yet perhaps the most curious thing about the strawberry is not how people used it, but what it actually is. Botanically speaking, it is not a berry at all. It is more closely related to raspberries and blackberries, although the part we eat develops a little more like an apple. The red flesh is the swollen base of the flower, while each of those apparent “seeds” is a tiny individual 6 Corca Dhuibhne Beo

Once Upon a Time in the Southwest

Gallant Rescue at Cloghane

Ted Creedon

An accident, which almost ended in a fatality, occurred in Cloghane ten days ago. As Mr. Jeremiah Corkery, of Brandon, accompanied by Michael Twohy, of Cloghane, were casting the anchor of the fishing boat Lizzy from a canoe, one of the wings of the anchor caught in the gunwale. As the two men attempted to release it they were both off balance and thrown into the water.

No Races or Regatta in Dingle -The Kerryman 17 September 1904 Fate seems to be doing her worst in the matter of offering encouragement to the lovers of sport in Dingle. Yet, there are sweet dreams of the Dingle Races which she cannot destroy. No races have been held for the past few years. We are not aware of any insurmountable obstacles associated with them. One good day under the National Hunt would be thoroughly appreciated. The same may be said for the Dingle Regatta which has not been held for the past two years.

Lady Day, September 8th, now ranks as an ordinary day from a festive point of view. Some twenty-five or thirty years ago it was a Gala Day in Dingle. The town formed the centre of entertainment for the rural folks, and an enjoyable time was experienced in street dancing and other amusements.

Death of a Centenarian -Kerry Evening Post 13 November 1895 On Wednesday last an old man named Timothy Casey, aged 102 years, born in 1793, died at his home in Lispole, near Dingle. The deceased had been enjoying excellent health until about two months ago when he injured his back trying to lift a bag of potatoes. During his lifetime Mr. Casey visited the town of Tralee only once and was never further than Tralee from the house in which he was born and in which he died.

Listowel Petty Sessions -Kerry News 05 February 1897 John Farrell was fined two shillings and sixpence for being drunk in charge of a donkey. Michael Leane charged his brother-in-law, Martin Keenan, with maliciously breaking his window. Leane stated that on a week ago the defendant had come to his premises and had drink taken. Witness refused to admit him, and, in a fit of rage, Keenan smashed the premises window. According to the witness, Keenan wanted to bully him. “It was not the first time that he tried to frighten food and lodgings out of me”, Leane said (Laughter in court.) Keenan, who did not attend the court, was fined five shillings.

Farmer Shot -Sligo Independent 15 April 1882 On Sunday last a farmer named Nolan, whose home is near Ballyduff, in North Kerry, was returning home after attending Mass when he was stopped by a masked man. The man produced a gun and fired two shots at Nolan, one of which struck him in the right arm. The two grappled briefly before the gunman ran off.

Another Farmer Shot -Magnet, London 15 April 1882 A farmer named Martin Costello, residing near Ballybunion, was fired on in his home last Monday night and wounded. He was sitting by the fireside at about nine o’clock, when a shot was fired through his window which hit him in the shoulder. Later, it was discovered that a notice was pinned to his door, accusing him of having paid his rent to his landlord.

The Kerry Grand Jury has condemned such actions, expressing the horror and shame felt by every class of the community over the recent atrocities which have stained the Country. “Apart from the wretched criminals, there cannot be an individual who does not condemn this phase which murders in cold blood and even maims defenceless women”, the Grand Jury stated.

The Grand Jury has been able to levy compensation for injuries inflicted upon animals, property and even the loss of a load of turf but have not been given power to compensate for the torture of helpless human beings, or the taking away of human lives.

(Was it the intention of, or the instructions to, both gunmen above to merely wound their victims for paying their rent?)

8 Corca Dhuibhne Beo

-Kerry Reporter 25 March 1899

It is not known if Corkery was able to swim, or how far both men were from shore, but Twohy swam to shore, removed his clothing, which was weighing him down, and made all possible haste to rescue his comrade.

Two other men who witnessed the accident, Nicholas O’Neill and Thomas Brick, also swam to the canoe and found Twohy almost exhausted. Together, the three rescuers brought Corkery safely to shore.

Inquest at Lispole -Kerry Reporter 10 December 1898 An inquest was held at Lispole on Tuesday by Dr. R. Hayes, District Coroner, on the remains of the late Christopher Hickson, farmer, who died at his residence on Sunday. He was one of the passengers on the Dingle train on the morning of 24th November when three passenger carriages were blown off the rails.

The passengers, including Mr. Hickson, sustained some slight injuries.

He was confined to bed following the accident and was attended to by Dr. Kane, of Annascaul. The following jury was sworn, James Prendeville, Foreman, Timothy Griffin, Robert Fitzgerald, John Brosnan, John Bowler, Thomas Garvey, Patrick Garvey, Thomas Brosnan, Michael Barrett, John Moriarty, Michael Manning, Michael Hanafin, John Sullivan, and Robert Fitzgerald, Minard West.

(The accident occurred at Banoge, (Baunogue), between Lispole and Annascaul. The newspaper report is questionable. It states that three passengers sustained some ‘slight’ injuries. Did the paper get its information from the Tralee and Dingle Light Railway Company? Some reports claim that Mr. Hickson died of his injuries. It was normal to have 14 men or more on an inquest jury in those days.)

Item from Lloyds list -01 December 1882 In late November part of a lifebuoy, bearing the name “Labrador”, in black letters, was discovered in Smerwick Harbour. It was picked up and brought to Ballydavid Coastguard Station. No further information at this time.

Dingle Notes Richie Williams DINGLE RACES. A big Céad Míle Fáilte to all the owners, trainers, families, jockeys, bookies, stable assistants and hundreds of supporters who come to the Peninsula for the Annual Dingle Races which is commonly referred to as the Cheltenham of Pony Racing in Ireland.

The 3 Day programme gets under way in the late afternoon of Friday August 7th and continues with afternoon starts on the Saturday and Sunday of the weekend. Normally the Committee are praying for a dry weekend but with climate change playing tricks this year they would welcome some rain beforehand to make the conditions more favourable for the participants. We urge our readers to come along on at least one of the days to support the hardworking organisers who spend many voluntary hours, days and months preparing for the weekends activities each year. Dingle Races are of course regarded locally as one of the social highlights of the year and rightly so too.

BUSINESS CLOSURE . The public will by now have noted in our last edition the notice from Dr Linda Corkery Johnson announcing the pending closure of her dental practice at the end of August this year.

Lets hope some individual or group will use the opportunity to avail of what looks like a good long term business investment and secure such an important service for the West Kerry Community.

Senior Mens Football Team for the wonderful displays in reaching both the finals of the National League and Championships this year.

We appreciate the huge personal commitment of all involved including relatives and family members and look forward to a more successful period ahead as this talented Kerry Panel has many years of big performances to come. Maith sibh go léir.

Belated Congratulations to the Dingle Senior Ladies team who recently secured divisional honours in the Kerry County Ladies Senior Football League.

ROAD SAFETY. Reminding all motorists that the newly installed traffic lights at The Tracks rear of Garvey’s Supervalu are now fully operational so awareness of pedestrians crossing there is another item for the already stressed drivers in that particular area.

Development on the new all-weather facility in Páirc An Ághasaigh has been delayed due to the extreme dryness of the ground which makes it difficult for such work to progress.

Also reminding cyclists, pedestrians, runners and joggers to please wear high-vis clothing when on public roads and help keep our peninsula a safer place for all to enjoy.

NEW HOUSING DEVELOPMENT. Dingle's newest housing development provides a mix of 34 new units comprising of one bedroom and two bedroom apartments in the aptly titled An Sruthán Sléibhe in Ballybeg with entry off the old Conor Pass Road.

The lucky occupants were recently handed their keys after assessment which included a basic Irish language interview and are already in situ or finalising plans for internal furnishings. Credit where credit is due to Kerry County Council staff, the builders, architects and all involved in the design, site layout and final landscaping of the entire grounds which includes a wonderful display of colourful wildflowers in the adjoining fields. Wishing all the new residents many years of happiness in their new homes.

SPORT. Wishing the Kerry management, players, panel members and supporters every success in the All Ireland Ladies Senior Football Final against Galway this Weekend.

Our sincere thanks to the management, players and panel members of the Kerry 10 Corca Dhuibhne Beo

areas can be made direct to Kerry County Council County Buildings Tralee up to Friday August 7th. The full proposals which include the Dingle Town area are available on www. kerrycoco.ie.

Harissa Baked Chicken, Pilaf Rice and Mint Yogurt Mark Murphy - Dingle Cookery School

pinch saffron (optional) 2 bay leaves 600ml stock, chicken or vegetable salt and pepper for the yogurt 100ml natural yogurt small bunch of mint leaves, chopped finely Method For the chicken Mix the harissa, lemon juice, garlic and honey together. Generously rub this over the chicken. Place this in a bowl and leave this for a about an hour to marinate.

Preheat the oven to 170ºC Add the red onions and tomato to the bowl along with some olive oil, salt and pepper. Mix this all together. Place this in a roasting tray and then put this into the oven.

This will take about 40 minutes to cook. While this is cooking you can make the pilaf.

For the rice

I have cooked this dish countless times over the years and it never disappoints. It is one of those recipes where every ingredient has something to offer. The smoky, spicy chicken pairs beautifully with buttery saffron pilaf rice, while the cool mint yoghurt provides a refreshing contrast that brings the whole dish together.

Harissa is a North African chilli paste that deserves a place in every kitchen. Rich with chillies, spices and garlic, it adds warmth, depth and plenty of character to whatever it touches. Once you start cooking with it, you'll soon find yourself reaching for it whenever a dish needs an extra lift.

Put a pan on over medium heat, add the butter and onion. Cook this for about 5 minutes. The onion should have softened at this stage. Add the spices, saffron and bay leaves and cook for a couple more minutes.

Add the rice and stir until the grains are coated in the butter before stirring in the stock or water and salt. Bring to the boil and then cover with parchment paper.

Turn the heat down low and leave to cook for 20 minutes before turning off the heat. Check to see if the rice is cooked, add a few small bits of butter over the top of the rice, put the parchment back and leave this off the heat until the chicken is cooked.

Although harissa has a fiery reputation, don't be put off. Combined with fresh lemon juice, garlic and a little honey, the heat softens and becomes wonderfully balanced. The citrus brightens the flavours, the honey adds a subtle sweetness and the garlic rounds everything out, creating a marinade that is bold, aromatic and incredibly moreish.

Before serving use a fork to fluff up the rice.

Whether cooked on the barbecue or under a hot grill, this is relaxed summer cooking at its best. Serve it with fragrant pilaf rice, plenty of mint yoghurt and a crisp seasonal salad, and you'll have a meal that is perfect for sharing with family and friends.

At this stage the chicken should be cooked, use a small knife to pierce the chicken and check inside.

Serves 4-6 Ingredients for the chicken 4 tbsp. harissa paste

for the mint yogurt Mix the mint and yogurt together.

Camp Notes Brigid O'Connor ST. MARY'S CHURCH A large congregation attended the celebration of the bicentenary of St. Mary's Church, Camp, on Friday night.

To mark this significant milestone, Bishop Ray Brown concelebrated Mass, assisted by Fr. Michael Moynihan, Fr. Eamon Mulvihill, Fr. Tom Crean, Fr. John Buckley, and Fr. Gene O'Donnell and Rev. Jim Stephens, Church of Ireland.

It was wonderful to see Camp people from near and far, who made the journey home to be part of a celebration honouring the generations of their people who shaped St. Mary's Church community down through 200 years. Rev. John Fitzgerald Day, Church of Ireland donated the site to Rev. Fr. Jeremiah Falvey, PP of Kilgobbin for St. Mary's Catholic Church which was built in 1826 by local men, stonemasons and skilled tradesmen of the time.

Among the many distinguished priests, brothers and sisters featured are Archbishop Thomas O'Donnell, a native of Gleann na Gealt, who became Archbishop of Halifax, Ontario, Canada and Bishop of Kerry Michael O'Brien, whose family roots are closely linked to Kilteenbane through his brother Timothy, his two nieces, Sr. Emmanuel and Sr. Francis also answered the call to religious life, continuing the family's remarkable tradition of service to the Church.

The strong tradition of family vocations in the Camp parish area is a striking theme to emerge from the research. Among those families are the three Crean sisters, Mary Anthony, Teresa Ann and Catherine, the Dunne family, Sr. Pius and Brother Brendan from Knockgloss Beg, Sisters, Brendan and.Catherine Herlihy and Sister Eileen O Donnell, Knockglossmore.

Bishop Ray's words are a reminder of the resilience and faith of those who came before us and whose legacy continues to inspire the Camp Church Community today.

A commemorative booklet, outlining the early history of the Church and the story of the religious who served both at home and abroad, was presented on the night.

The commemorative booklet is available to purchase in O'Dwyer's Mace. Due to printing costs, there is a small charge of €10 per booklet.

The booklet will serve as a souvenir of 200 years of St. Mary's Church, Camp in time to come.

Among those present for the commemorative Mass was Sr. Kathleen O'Donnell, one of the surviving religious from the parish and Peggy O'Shea Fitzgerald represented her sister, Sr.

Afterwards, everyone enjoyed delicious refreshments in the Old School, a place filled with lovely memories for so many of us. It is another treasured part of our heritage, where generations of our families received their early education.

Go raibh míle maith agaibh.

With the strength of their hands and the determination of their spirit, they built local roads and the Dingle railway line built in 1891 connecting the people of the peninsula to the world outside.

In his homily, Bishop Ray Browne reflected on the hardships those families must have endured, noting that only some twenty years after the church was built, they were faced with the devastating Great Famine. Many of them survived and their descendants have lived to tell their story.

Bríd Ní Mhoráin, on behalf of the Camp Church Community extended a warm welcome to everyone. She thanked all those who serve in St. Mary's Church past and present and everyone who cares for both the church and its grounds, which looked beautiful for this special occasion.

A sincere thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the evening such a memorable occasion.

They were people of remarkable resilience, pride, and skill. The men and women of Camp were not only farming the land and fishing, they were tradesmen too, coopers, coachbuilders, dressmakers, and weavers, whose expertise served their community well, crafts and trades needed for their survival at that time.

Their labour, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment laid foundations that extended far beyond their own time. These people were ordinary men and women whose faith, hard work, and devotion shaped both St. Mary's Church and the wider community. Their legacy lives on in the church they helped establish and in the enduring spirit of Camp itself.

Michael Gerard, Breda O'Shea and brought the gifts to the altar during the Mass. Bishop Ray Browne warmly welcomed them and acknowledged the outstanding contribution made by the parish's many religious over the generations.

IFTA and had a lasting impact on me. Frank’s honest, socially driven filmmaking has been inspiring. I’ve worked on many short and feature films since and while I still enjoy acting, my passion lies in writing and directing.

Filmmakers in Focus Solas ar Scannánóirí Every fortnight we sit down with filmmakers based here on the Dingle Peninsula to chat about their work, the film industry and what inspires them.

Gach coicís suímid síos le scannánóirí atá lonnaithe anseo i gCorca Dhuibhne chun caint faoin a gcuid oibre, tionscal na scannán agus cad a spreagann iad.

Elaine Kennedy Writer, Director, Actor

What are you working on at the moment? Upcoming projects?

Most recently I’ve had an acting role in Shaun O’Connor’s debut feature film Diatribe, written by the talented Paul Cahill, being shot in North Kerry. I’m currently attached as director to a feature film which we hope to shoot in Dingle subject to funding. I’m also currently completing a BA Hons in Screen Industry Practice via TU Dublin, as well as recently being appointed to the board of Dingle Film Festival, so life is busy but I like the variety that my work brings and meeting different people.

What job(s) are you most proud of?

I’m most proud of my most recent short film Cogar (Whispers), funded by local scriptwriting competition Físín. The reason being that when my dad arrived in the heart of London as a 17-year-old boy, he was used to speaking only Irish so had to quickly start conversing in English. After his passing, I felt a strong pull to honour his life, his resilience, his identity, and above all, his love for the Irish language. Creating a film in Irish became my way of acknowledging his bravery at such a young age, and also the quiet strength carried by so many in the diaspora who held onto their culture and language far from home. I’m by no means a fluent Irish speaker, I wish I was but I am learning. Fortunately, my son will be fluent so I feel we have come full circle and my dad would be proud. Cogar premiered at the Galway Film Fleadh last year and has since won The Best of Kerry Award with the Kerry International Film Festival and Best Irish Language Film at Fastnet Film Festival - two awards I’m very proud of.

What advice would you give to anyone wanting to get into the film industry?

I’m a filmmaker and photographer living in Dingle for the past 27 years. My dad, Seamus Kennedy was originally from Baile Na bPoc, Baile na nGall and my mother, Eileen is from the Maharees. Both left West Kerry separately for the bright lights of London in the 60's and met each other in an Irish dance hall in Camden Town and the rest is history! I’m proud to be part of the Irish Diaspora and feel very lucky that my parents were from such a beautiful part of the world where I am lucky enough to live with my son.

Don't be afraid to reach out to anyone you know working in the industry; most people are willing to help and give advice. I’ve been given great support and advice over the years from friends like Ned Dowd (film producer) who lives in Dingle and has over 50 years experience in the film industry. It’s wonderful to support each other - as JFK once said “a rising tide lifts all boats.” We are also very fortunate in Kerry to have the very well respected Kerry College film school in Tralee. I have met and worked with their students and many go on to have a successful career in the industry. If you are friendly, enthusiastic and hard working, people will be happy to work with you.

How did you get into the film industry?

3 must-see films for anyone interested in filmmaking and why?

I was always interested in drama, singing and dancing. Growing up in North London in a very Irish community, I was heavily involved in the Irish dancing scene. When I moved to Dingle I joined the Bank of Ireland but I knew it wasn't for me! I was itching to do something creative so I left and completed a diploma in digital photography and set up my own wedding and portrait business in 2008. I still had an itch for drama/film so in 2015, I did a 1-year Screen Acting course with Bow Street School of Acting, which suprisingly inspired me to start writing. After graduating, I wrote, directed and produced my debut short film Uisce Beatha - The Water of Life, a self-funded project based on a true story, which screened in many film festivals and won several national and international awards.

It also screened on RTÉ for two consecutive years.

Nil By Mouth (1997), written, directed and produced by Oscar winner Gary Oldman - Kathy Burke is one of my favourite actors and her performance in this powerful film is superb.

What inspired you to want to work in film? and what inspires/motivates you from day to day in your work?

Favourite film quote

I love working on a film project from initial concept to screen. Looking back, storytelling has been a huge part of my family ancestry. West Kerry has a natural talent for telling a good story so the skills are very transferable to film/TV. Sometimes I see or hear something and think that would be a great film! I believe everyone has a story in them and sometimes it’s the most quiet person you meet who has lived the most interesting life.

Character-driven dramas are the kind of stories I enjoy most.

"Is piléar é gach focal Gaeilge a labhraítear a scaoiltear ar son shaoirse na hÉireann”

Tell us about yourself?

Whiplash (2014) Probably the first film I watched with ‘director’s eyes’. It had a lasting impact on me and was inspiring to know it was a originally a short film that was developed into an oscar winning feature film.

The Children of Tuam by Frank Berry (2026) I watched this film recently at Galway Film Fleadh and I haven’t ever experienced hearing an audience cry so much. I love films based on true stories and this was unbelievably emotive and so sensitively written and performed. Keep an eye.. I’ve no doubt it will be a cinema soon!

Can I share my parent's leave with my partner?

Both parents have an equal separate entitlement to parent’s leave. You cannot transfer your entitlement to your partner. Where one parent dies, the surviving parent is entitled to leave for the amount of leave the deceased parent did not take from their 9-week entitlement (this is known as transferred parent’s leave).

How to apply for parent's leave You must give written notice to your employer before you can take parent’s leave.

Tell your employer at least 6 weeks before the leave is due to start and include the start date, the way the leave will be taken and how long the leave will last Include appropriate certification confirming your eligibility such as a birth certificate, or in the case of adoption, the certificate of placement.

Unknown Angels very near They walk With us all, on this path to eternity There’s community & palliative Each with their roles They treat with such dignity As our horror unfolds Our friends care & want to share Our pain and grief yet know: So a single emoji at times suffices To show they’re on hand with their advices The village sees what towns never can The cars outside pile up.

Dingle Folk Concerts Welcome Special Guests Enjoy an evening of traditional Irish music in the beautiful surroundings of the 200-year-old St. James’ Church, Dingle. Hosted by renowned Uilleann Piper Eoin Duignan, these much-loved concerts have been part of Dingle’s musical life for over 25 years.

St. James’ Church, Dingle/ Friday 31st of July Doors: 7:15 PM | Concert: 7:30 PM Tickets €20 online or locally: https://linktr.ee/dinglefolkconcerts This concert on Friday 31st of July will feature very special guests:

Aidan Connolly & Bryan O’Leary Aidan Connolly (fiddle) and Bryan O’Leary (accordion) are two leading performers of traditional Irish music. Bryan, a native of Tureencahill, Co. Kerry was named TG4 Young Musician of the Year in 2015 and continues the rich Sliabh Luachra tradition of his grandfather, the legendary Johnny O’Leary. Aidan, from Dublin, was nominated for Best Folk Instrumentalist at the RTÉ Folk Awards in 2022 and performs as John Sheahan in Dubliners Encore. Their acclaimed 2025 album, The Groves of Gneeveguilla, celebrates the Sliabh Luachra tradition, featuring polkas, slides, reels, jigs and rare tunes from the Pádraig O’Keeffe manuscripts.

Noel Shine and Mary Greene Have long been a cherished part of Ireland’s folk and Americana scene. Renowned for their beautifully blended harmonies, accomplished musicianship and heartfelt songwriting, they have performed and recorded with some of Ireland’s most celebrated artists. Their music seamlessly weaves together folk, Americana and indie influences, creating performances that are both intimate and captivating. With acclaimed albums, award nominations and extensive radio airplay, Greene & Shine continue to be among the most respected voices in Irish folk music.

Eoin Duignan If music offers a window to the soul, then that of the piper and low-whistle player Eoin Duignan is a kaleidoscopic fanlight into a world where the spirit holds sway unopposed.

The Value of Doodling

Comharchumann Dhún Chaoin Teo.

Fógra

Micheál Ó Coileáin Doodling on the margins of a book has a long history in Ireland.

They are to be found in some ancient manuscripts dating from the 7th – 9th centuries - within the Early Christian tradition. Some of the oldest surviving traces of the Old Irish language are found as marginal and interlinear notes in Latin manuscripts produced both in Ireland and by Irish monks on the European continent.

Scribes sometimes penned prayers or verses to ward off Viking raiders. One famously wrote a poem hoping a fierce storm would deter the seafaring Scandinavians:

Cruinniú Cinn Bliana

Tionólfar cruinniú cinn bliana Chomharchumann Dhún Chaoin Teo. in Ionad an Bhlascaoid ar an nDéardaoin, an 20ú Lúnasa, 2026 ar a 8 i.n.

Just Hangin’

Is acher in gaíth innocht / Fufuasna fairggae findfholt / Ni ágor réimm mora minn / Dond láechraid lain óa lothlind – (Bitter is the wind tonight; it tosses the ocean’s white hair: I fear not the coursing of a clear sea by the fierce heroes from Lothlend).

Scribes often suffered from cold, exhaustion, and eye strain. Monastic life was not comfortable in 9th century Ireland – at least not for Fergus a scribe in the north-east of Ireland. Copying a manuscript in latin, he writes in the margins: ‘Bendacht. For anmmain feruso amen. – mar uar dom’ .

(A blessing on the soul of Fergus. Amen. I am very cold).

Other famous examples include notes like "It is cold today" or complaints about the poor quality of vellum or ink. One scribe scribbles on the margins of his manuscript - ‘New parchment, bad ink. O I say nothing more.’

Others express joy at finally finishing a difficult section of the text, writing things like, ‘Thank God, this page is done.’

On the margins of a Latin Grammer text, written by an Irish Monk in the 9th Century, we find the word ‘Latheirt’ written in the ogham alphabet at the top corner of a page . The word translates as ‘ale killed’ or ‘hungover.’

It has also been translated as ‘gone too far with drink.’ Possibly a mischievous and humorous note to another Irish monk to explain a shaky hand when writing the page.

Perhaps the most famous piece of Irish marginalia is found in the 9th-century St. Gall Priscian. Alongside the Latin grammatical text, an anonymous Irish monk wrote a beautiful, affectionate poem to his pet cat, Pangur Bán, comparing his quiet pursuit of scholarly wisdom in the text to his cat's quiet pursuit of mice. The following is a taste of his peotic ability: I and Pangur Bán, my cat, 'Tis a like task we are at; Hunting mice is his delight, Hunting words I sit all night.

So in peace our task we ply, Pangur Bán, my cat, and I; In our arts we find our bliss, I have mine, and he has his.

Practice every day has made Pangur perfect in his trade; I get wisdom day and night, Turning darkness into light.

These doodling’s are full of human voices, humour, frustration and resilience, offering us a rare and very real glimpse into the daily lives and personalities of early medieval Irish monks.

Just hangin’ Just taking the breeze Watching the grass grow Listening to the bees I’m high and dry And enjoying the view Staying out of trouble If not out of view Hand hot Inside out Handled with care No sweat Drip dry Into thin air Just swingin’ Between heaven and earth Seeing what the world below Really is worth Just hangin’ No clouds in the sky Just the sun on my back And my tears have gone dry Artwork and words by Laurence Jones.

Ábhar Uchtaigh Mícheál Ó hUanacháin Ainneoin díomá Lucht na caide sa chontae an deireadh seachtaine seo caite, caithfidh go bhfanann sásamh éigin ag muintir na peile tar éis cúpla toradh sásúil, agus iad gan teip sa bhaile le naoi gcluiche anuas.

Ach ní "sásúil" amháin a bhí na torthaí, ach ceann amháin acu thar a bheith spéisiúil, agus bua eile gan coinne acu ar chlub Príomh-Sraithe sa Chorn sinsir. Ag breathnú ar an liosta cluichí sa chomórtas sin a bhí le n-imirt an deireadh seachtaine sin de dhuine, ba mhionlach iad a bheadh ag tuar teip ar mhuintir Shíol Bhroin ón ard-chathair. Cé nach bhfuil an Corn féin buaite acu le tamall, b'iad curaí na Príomh-Sraithe anuraidh iad, agus taithí tábhachtach faighte acu i gcomórtaisí Eorpacha ó shin.

Ag cur le neart na foirne, shaighneáil siad Odhrán Casey ag tús na bliana ar shuim airgid nár íoc aon chlub sa Phoblacht riamh roimhe, os cionn €100,000 deirtear.

Níorbh fhéidir le ceachtar taobh an cluiche a bhuachaint san am breise, agus chuathas i mbun ciceanna éirice. Iontach go leor, ní raibh aon chean ar fóraoil ó thús deireadh, ach nuair a stop Moylan iarrachtaí Murphy agus Matt Britton, ba chosúil go mbeadh an lá le club na Príomh-Sraithe – ach shábháil Harry Halwax trí cinn d'iarrachtaí Shíol Bhroin, agus bhí bua stairiúil eile ag lucht na Ríochta.

Ní fhágann san mórán slí againn le cur síos a dhéanamh ar an gcluiche sraithe an Aoine seo caite. Bua deas eile, Cúl luath ag Sean McGrath agus ceann i ndiaidh leathuaire ag Cian Bargary, nach raibh de fhreagra ag Cláirsigh na Finne orthu ach ceann ammháin, ag Guilherme Rego Priosti roimh an briseadh.

Ní mór aitheantas freisin a thabhairt do chúl báire na hoíche Matt Connor, gur éirigh leis stop a chur le hiarracht déanach ag Max Hutchison le linn am cúiteamh gortaithe.

Tabharfaidh an méid sin uchtach nach beag dóibh ar a mbealach chuig Brí Chualann an deireadh seachtaine seo.

Beidh siad as baile in aghaidh Shligigh sa chéad bhabhta eile den Chorn, agus ní fada uainn é. Fuaireadar an ceann is fearr orthusan sa Chorn anuraidh. An bhféadfaí é dhéanamh dhá bhliain as a chéile?

Bhí Páirc Chnocán an Iolair ag cur thar maoil an oíche sin, agus bhí an chéad leath an-ghníomhach, an-chomórtasach ach gann ar chúil, gan aon scór ag leath-ama. Chaith nach ró-shásta a bhí bainisteoir na gcuairteoirí nuair a bronnadh cárta buí ar an Casey céanna ag fíor-thús an dara leatha, agus an dara ceann roinnt nóiméadaí ina dhiaidh sin, rud a d'fhág gann ar fhear iad don chuid eile den chluiche. Mí-ádh ar an gcosantóir é, mar ní raibh sé ach ag filleadh ar an imirt tar éis ghortú teannán ioscaide a bhain dó san earrach.

Mar sin féin, b;iad Síol Bhroin a chuaigh chun tosaigh tar éis uair a chloig imeartha le cúl néata ó Daniel Kelly. Thóg sé tamall ar mhuintir Thrá Lí freagra a chur ais, agus bhí sciorta den ádh ag baint leis nuair a phreab an liathróid ó chorp Sean O'Connell isteach in eangach Finn Moylan. Níos lú ná nóiméad amháin ina dhiaidh sin, ghaobh Cian Murphy an liathróid go raibh Moylan ag iarraidh é ghlanadh amach, agus sheol go héasca é thar an cúlbáire.

Tréan-iarrachtaí ba ghá don fhoireann baile ansin leis an buntáiste a chosaint, agus caithfidh gur cheap mórchuid an tslua go raibh an lá leo isteach san am cúiteamh ghortaithe, ach nár éirigh le Jack Henry-Francis an comhscór a bhaint amach ceithre nóiméad tar éis an 90!

Ceardlann Leathair

Gnó na Seachtaine Safari Mara Dhaingean Uí Chúis Tánn samhradh tar éis a bheith ana chúramach d’fhoireann an Safarí Mara ach táid paiseanta agus bródúil as Corca Dhuibhne, agus táid ana shásta an paisean sin a roinnt le turasóirí. Thosnaíodar amach le bád amháin in 2018 agus anois tá sé chinn acu. Labhraíomar le Jamie ó Flannúra, a dúirt gurb iad na deilfeanna an t-ainmhí is fearr leis ar an dturas, agus a mhínigh cé chomh tábhachtach is a tánn fostaíocht áitiúil don ghnó.

Is slí iontach é an turas seo chun radharc nódh a fheiscint den leithinis Dhuibhneach a bhfuil taithí na mórthíre againn uirthi!

Céad míle Buíochas le Siún Ní Eartáin agus Uisce Leather a scaoil isteach sinn nuair a dúnadh an Siopa an Luan seo chaite. Chuir Siún taispeántas ana shuimiúil ós ár gcomhair agus í ag cruthú chreasa. Bhí scéalta aici fé stair Leathair in Éirinn agus in Ionad na bPoll, an áit a bhfuil an Siopa aoibhinn seo lonnaithe. Coimeád súil amach don sean pholla cearta an chéad uair eile atá tú ag margadh an Daingin!

Thug sí deis dúinn triail a bhaint as stampa a úsáid chomh maith, agus bhí souvenir beag le scéal mór groídh againn agus sinn ag fágaint. Go raibh míle maith agaibh Siún agus Elaine!

We are so grateful to Siún Ní Eartáin and Uisce Leather for allowing us into the closed shop last Monday. Siún did a demonstration for us by walking us through the stages of making a belt. She had stories about the history and tradition of leather making in Ireland and in Ionad na bPoll, where the shop is situated. Keep an eye out for the Old Forge Pole the next time you’re at the Friday market!

We all got the chance to use some of the tools and took home a lovely keyring as a souvenir, with a delightful story attached. Thank you so much to Siún and to Elaine!

The summer has been very busy for the Sea Safari team, but because of their pride and passion for Corca Dhuibhne, they have enjoyed taking tourists around the peninsula and seeing the wildlife and landscapes from a different viewpoint. The business began in 2018, with one boat and has now grown to six. We spoke to Jamie Ó Flannúra, who said that the dolphins were his favourite animal to spot, and who also explained the importance of local employment to the business. This boat ride is a great opportunity to see a different view of the peninsula we know so well from the mainland! Úsáid an cód QR seo chun gnó a ainmniú, nó seol ainm an ghnó chuig 087 7004 884.

Nótaí Féile Lúnasa

Bhí lucht na mBailte Slachmhara le feiscint i ngach aon áit le tamall anuas, iad ag tabhairt aire mhaith do na leapacha blathanna agus ag glanadh timpeall orthu ó Chill Chuimín agus Crossaire na Coille Móire amach go dtí Srón Bhroin.

Tar éis Féile Lúnasa den scoth a bheith againn, ba mhaith linn buíochas ónar gcroí a ghabháil le gach éinne a chabhraigh linn deireadh seachtaine iontach a bheith ann. Deineann an fhéile seo gach gné de cheantar an Leitriúigh a cheiliúradh – a mhuintir, a phobal, a chultúr agus a oidhreacht.

mholta a fuaireamar le linn an deireadh seachtaine sceitimíní áthais orainn. Bhí sé go hiontach an méid sin daoine a fheiscint ar fud na háite ag baint taitneamh as na himeachtaí go léir agus ag ceiliúradh i dteannta a chéile.

Ba mhaith linn buíochas ó chroí a ghabháil lenár n-urraitheoirí flaithiúla agus lenár n-oibrithe deonacha díograiseacha. Murach bhur dtacaíocht agus bhur n-obair dhian, ní fhéadfaimis an fhéile a reachtáil i gceart.

Ba mhaith linn freisin buíochas a ghabháil le gach éinne a d’fhreastail ar na himeachtaí – ár bpobal áitiúil féin agus an scuaine cuairteoirí a ghlac páirt sna himeachtaí. Chruthaigh bhur ndíograis, bhur gcineáltacht agus bhur meon dearfach atmaisféar iontach ag gach imeacht, rud a chabhraigh go mór le deireadh seachtaine iontach a bheith ag gach éinne.

Arís, míle buíochas libh go léir as cabhrú linn deireadh seachtaine den scoth a bheith againn.

Cheana féin, táimid ag tnúth go mór le fáilte a chur romhaibh arís an bhliain seo chugainn!

Following a wonderful Féile Lughnasa festival, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make it such a memorable weekend.

This festival celebrates An Leith Triúigh, its culture and heritage, its people and its community.

We were blown away by the kind words and positive feedback we received throughout the weekend. It was wonderful to see so many people out enjoying the events and celebrating together.

A very sincere thank you goes to all of our generous sponsors and dedicated volunteers. Your support and hard work made the festival happen, and we couldn't have done it without you..

We would also like to thank everyone who attended our events—both our local community and the many visitors who came out to join us. Your enthusiasm, kindness and good spirit brought such a fantastic atmosphere to every event and made the weekend one to remember.

Thank you all for helping to make Féile Lughnasa such good fun, and truly a special celebration. We can’t wait to welcome you again next year!

Any queries, please email Caroline through at info@dingle-peninsula.ie Important AI Marketing Tips for your Business Whilst AI can be time efficient in many ways, the following are important current marketing tips for your business: • Ensure that NO AI generated content is uploaded to your website or social media channels.

• Your visitors and guests want to hear from you and connect with real people with real local knowledge and recommendations.

• Don’t forget that AI is scraping all information from the internet and unfortunately, a lot of this information is incorrect and not written by local experts. So please be careful what you present.

• Please note that the content on www.dinglepeninsula.ie and our social media channels: Facebook: @dingle.official and Instagram: @ DinglePeninsulaTourism , is written by our local experts and the Dingle Peninsula Tourism team.

• To ensure your own promotional materials are unique and “stand out from the crowd”, have our local graphic designers create something individual for your business. Stand out in your own unique way!

• Use AI as a tool for the administrative jobs rather than the marketing jobs to allow you more time with your guests, keeping your own unique selling points distinctive and authentic.

Reminder for Your Help advising our visitors with Slí Ceann Sléibhe AND Conor Pass Visitor Traffic Flows Thank you for your ongoing help! Ceann Sléibhe, Slí Cheann Sléibhe / Slea Head Drive and Conor Pass are still experiencing challenge. Google Maps are sending visitors to Slea Head by the most direct and eco efficient way. However, in many cases, this is bringing many visitors to Slea Head AGAINST the flow of traffic causing congestion and delays on the route; AND due to the narrow roads, visitors are driving in the middle of the road thinking it is a one way system. Therefore, could we please continue to ask you all particularly if you are in the accommodation, food, beverage and retail sectors, when chatting to visitors, recommend that they turn off their Sat Navs / Google Maps and follow the Kerry County Council and Wild Atlantic Way / WAW directional signs. This includes NOT using An Classach thus allowing the businesses along Ceann Sléibhe, Fahan, Dún Chaoin,An Clóthar, Baile an Fheirteáraigh, Baile na nGall agus An Fheothanach every opportunity to welcome visitors.

It’s important for our visitors to also enjoy the wonderful Conor Pass and Dingle Peninsula North Shore. Can you please advise visitors just to take their time on the Pass and that the descending car has right of way. When

drivers see cars descending, please advise they pull in to the lay-byes where they see the yellow directional signs and allow the cars to pass so that they can proceed. Míle buíochas.

Tá na trí gártha goil le clos i gCiarraí tar éis an Domhnaigh. Bhíomar réasúnta cinnte go mbeadh an bua againn. Is dócha nach mór linn é go mbuaigh Maigh Eo mar nár bhuadar faic ó 1951. Bhí an iomarca ping pong ag Ciarraí agus d’fhéadfaidís scata ciceanna dhá phoinnte bheith fachta seachas bheith sall agus anall. Bhí na speachanna amach ón mbáide gan bheith ró chruinn. rud nach dtárlaíonn de ghnáth.

Creid gur maraíodh triúr agus fiche i dtimpistí feirme anuiridh, an líon is aoirde in aon tionscail sa tír. San am chéanna tá praghas maith ar an mhairt agus an bainne ag teacht chuiige féin. Tá praghas aoile ardaithe arís de bharr fustar giobalach Trump.
