A Cauldron of Customs from the Witches’ Kitchen?

doorway in memory of their loved ones who had passed away. Many of the traditions associated with death during Samhain helped to process grief and reassure those left behind to let go of negative emotions associated with grief.

Irene Ní Fhlannúra

Apples had a central role on the Samhain table as they stored well and were still plentiful. Before they were ever slathered in toffee and sprinkles, apples were split in two and the formation of the seeds inside represented the five elements of life in Pagan times – Earth, Fire, Water, Air and Ether (Spirit), their position and presence bore significance, sometimes good, sometimes not so good, for the one who split the apple. Bobbing for apples and swinging the apple from a string are well-known Samhain games that are still with us today. As Samhain marked the end of the year, many rituals looked forward to the coming year and what fortune lay ahead, usually in love or in prosperity. One such ritual was to peel the apple, making one long piece from its skin.

When it eventually breaks off, leave to drop on the ground. The letter it most resembles when it falls is likely to mark the initial of a future partner – no need for Tinder when Granny Smith is around!

Seasonal eating has become a buzzword for trendy chefs but it was not too long ago that the Season dictated the menu of the day. Samhain which means “Summer’s End” celebrates the last harvest of the growing season and prepares us for the colder, darker days ahead. At this time of year, our ancestors took stock of what food was harvested, killed off any livestock deemed too weak or costly to survive the Winter and gathered any remaining crops or fallen fruit in the fields. It was considered taboo to eat anything left in the growing fields after the 31st of October, the festival of Samhain, and so was left to the Nature spirit and returned to the Earth. Between the slaughtered animals, the rotting crops and the tradition of remembering our dead, Samhain, had a deathly air about it that is, to some extent, mirrored in the modernday celebration of Halloween. It is a pity that many of our cultural and spiritual connections with the Season and the land have been hijacked by consumerism and retail vulgarity. The food preparations and rituals enjoyed by our ancestors at Samhain prepared them both physically and emotionally for the long, dark Winter that lay ahead. Despite everything, we are still faced with similar health problems associated with the season that challenged our ancestors – colds, flus, tummy bugs, sadness and loneliness, but their traditions and timely preparations of seasonal ingredients meant that communities back then shared good food and company which helped ease the uncertainty and hazards of the gloomier days and nights during Winter.

Samhain is the halfway mark between the Autumn equinox and the Winter Solstice. Although it was the end of the growing season, there were still many foods left to be enjoyed throughout the Winter.

Traditional foods include nuts (hazels and chestnuts), apples, berries, potatoes, dark bread (rye), barley, cabbage, root vegetables, sea vegetables and a good selection of dried herbs - rosemary, mugworth, mullein, sage, bay and many others that were used in food and as medicines for the Winter season. The livestock that was slaughtered around Samhain, was respectfully prepared, dried or cured without any waste, to last throughout the season. Depending on where you lived and if you had land, game and fish were also on the menu and came in handy when meat supplies became scarce. The tradition and lore surrounding these foods are deeply rooted in the rituals and remedies of the season, many of which helped to keep us connected with the land and each other for the good of our health and well-being.

Rosemary has long been associated with remembrance throughout the World. Ancient Greek and Roman scholars wore garlands of rosemary while studying as they knew it would help them remember and recall their studies. More recently, studies concluded that students who worked in a room with the aroma of rosemary oil achieved 30% greater results in memory tests. It is also the symbol of remembrance of our loved ones. At Samhain, people hung a bunch of rosemary over the 8 Corca Dhuibhne Beo

At Samhain, it is believed that the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds is at its thinnest. It is the best time to summon our ancestral spirits for advice and good news of the year ahead while warding off the evil ones with scary masks and Jack o’Lanterns. Turnips and mangles featured long before the pumpkin but again, some of today’s spooky faces hark back to when these tough vegetables were carved, lit and placed on a windowsill to ward off any dodgy or unwelcome spirits at Samhain. When Celtic pagans migrated to the US, they brought this tradition with them and were thrilled to discover the pumpkin, which were in season at Samhain yet much easier to carve!

Báirín Breac (Barm Brack), another great fortune telling food item for the Samhain table. The fruit speckled loaf was baked with symbols representing insights for the year ahead: The Pea: No marriage for you this year The Bean: You will be prosperous and fortunate and full of beans The Stick: You will have an unhappy marriage, possibly involving a stick The Rag: You will be poverty-stricken and destitute The Coin: You will be wealthy and rich – beware of the one who got the Rag The Ring: You will be wed this year and live happily ever after unless you get the stick next year!

Hope all readers have a meaningful and blessed Samhain!

Farming News Louis Murchan 8,600 MORE BEEF FARMERS TO HAND BACK BEAM Another 8,600 beef farmers are on course to join the 3,600 who will have to hand back payments from the Beef Emergency Aid Measure (BEAM) scheme. The scheme worth €77m required farmers to reduce their stocking rate and N-Production by 5% over two years. Easier said than done.

BEAM was set up to help beef farmers get through the difficulties of 2019, with €50m of the €77m funding coming from the EU. Participating farmers were paid up-front in 2019, but the European Commission insisted they had to reduce their stocking rate, expressed as bovine organic nitrogen, as one of the scheme's terms and conditions. Almost 19,000 farmers have met the original scheme requirements successfully, by reducing production of bovine livestock manure nitrogen on their holdings by 5% in the year to June 30, 2021, compared with the year to June 30, 2019.

But 8,600 failed to meet the nitrogen obligations they signed up to under the scheme. They included 2,396 who increased their nitrogen (stocking rate) during the reduction period. The 3,600 will have some or all of the BEAM money they received in 2019 recouped. Their total liability is €5.2m.

Among the 3,600, almost 10% of cases involve less than €200 being clawed back, and almost a quarter involve less than €400.

Of the 16,000, almost 5,300 participants successfully exited the scheme, which is little over 33%. A poor batting average in any game. It almost appears that the scheme was designed to fail, and the dogs on the street know that the largest proportion of entrants would not meet their requirements. And they were right! And now, this figure of €8,600 arises which is over 50%. Do we expect that all our schemes should have a 33 – 50% success rate. This harks back to the REAP Scheme whereby 50 of applicants were accepted, but we are still waiting to find out how many of those accepted, went ahead and joined the scheme, and how many of those were approved for full payment.

NEW FUNDING FOR FARM SCHEMES UNDER CAP Following the recent announcements regarding new CAP funding, speculation has been rife, regarding what’s what. €2.3 billion in national funding and €1.56 billion of EU funding will be combined to funding farming from 2023 onwards. The total funding for the plan is €9.8 billion. This includes €723 million of carbon tax funding, and reflects the incremental nature of carbon tax revenues over the period to 2030.

There is an increase in spending on the “flagship agri-environmental measure” which will replace the Green Low Carbon Agri-Environment Scheme (GLAS) and succeeds the Agri-Environment Options Scheme (AEOS) and Rural Environmental Protection Scheme (REPS). A total allocation of €1.5 billion is envisaged here, which represents a significant increase on the funding in the previous programme.

The Areas of Natural Constraint (ANCs) will remain in place with a budget of €250 million.

A further €260 million will be allocated for a new suckler carbon efficiency programme, which will replace and build on the Beef Data and Genomics Programme (BDGP), while another €25 million is allocated to a new dairybeef welfare programme and €100 million for a new sheep improvement scheme, while an allocation of €256 million is to go towards land to be utilised for organic farming.

Capping of payments which will result in an effective cap of €66,000 and with no deduction of salaries. It is also proposing to continue BPS Entitlement Payment convergence on an incremental basis so that all entitlements reach a minimum level of 85% of the national entitlement value by 2026.

The new Complementary Redistributive Income Support for Sustainability (CRISS), or ‘front-loading’, is to be set at 10% of the direct payment ceiling and paid on the first 30ha of every farm. This will give a total of approximately €118 million resulting in a per hectare payment of €43.

3% of the value of the Pillar I budget will be allocated to a young farmers’ 12 Corca Dhuibhne Beo

scheme and paid on a ‘per hectare’ basis.

“I’m also going to implement the National Reserve each year of CAP Strategic Plan (CSP) to fund the minimum and mandatory categories of young farmer,” the minister continued.

On a more cryptic level, The minister is proposing to allocate 25% of funding per annum for eco-schemes equating to about €297 million each year; and is also proposing to allow farmers to choose from a range of agricultural practices that would be beneficial in terms of climate, biodiversity, water quality and the wider environment. These schemes will be available to ‘active’ farmers and payments will be made on all eligible hectares. The EU budget agreement provided for a total CAP funding for Ireland of €7.5 billion over the five-year period from 2023 to 2027. The funding is split between Pillar I (direct payments and sectoral Interventions -€5.9 billion) and Pillar II (rural development – €1.56 billion).

30,000 SUCKLER FARMERS AT RISK FROM NEW CAP PLAN As we all await news on the new CAP proposals, and are being drip-fed, the was mushrooms are fed, we read between the lines and see that all is not rosy in the Corridors of Power in Brussles, or with the farming community and their representative bodies. The new CAP funding and Strategic Plan have been described as less than satisfactory (to use restraint). The design of the Strategic Plan and the funding levels allocated to Pillar II targeted schemes compound the impact of convergence, CRISS [Complimentary Redistributive Income Support for Sustainability] and eco-schemes on the suckler and beef farmers most dependent on direct payments for their family income. Suckler and beef farmers depend on direct payments for 160% of farm family income, while these plans are cutting this income by up to 50% through a combination of flattening in convergence, CRISS and eco-schemes. This will be exacerbated by additional compliance costs and reduced efficiencies, all taking from the pockets of the most economically vulnerable farmers. The government have the opportunity to directly support these farmers with meaningful, targeted suckler cow and cattle rearing and finishing schemes but has failed to do so.

For example, one of the farming bodies proposed a €300 suckler cow payment and €100/animal payment for cattle rearing and finishing farmers to get CAP payments directly to the farmer, but these were ignored. They also state that ignoring this proposed suckler scheme will exclude 500,000 cows and 30,000 suckler farmers from allocated funding.

It is possibly time for Minister McConologue to reconsider certain aspects of the new plan(s) BPS ENTITLEMENT VALUE UNSURE FOR THE FUTURE According to sources within DAFM and others close to the department, the average entitlement value set to drop further. While some farmers will benefit from convergence and see their entitlements increase in value, many farmers are set to take a big hit on their entitlement value. As part of the Pillar I interventions in the CAP reform, it is proposed that the value of payment entitlements will continue to be subject to convergence with the aim of reaching a minimum of 85% of the average by 2026. In 2019, the average entitlement value in Ireland was approximately €184 and any farmer with an entitlement value above this suffered a reduction in their payments.

In line with the current proposed convergence, a new average payment entitlement value of €165 is envisaged by 2026 – a drop in the national average entitlement value of €19 on 2019 levels. This would mean that even in West Kerry, where the average BPS Entitlement value is low, these farmers would suffer a loss of entitlement value.

Therefore anyone receiving €185 per ha or more are facing a minimum loss of €20 per hectare.

On a more positive note for low-value entitlement holders (who are not young farmers) , the minimum payment entitlement value will reach almost €145 by 2026 under this scheme. Young farmers who are applying for entitlements from the National Reserve on eligible land for which they held no entitlements and/or are seeking a top-up to the value of existing entitlements held by them, where those entitlements are below the national average, will now see their payments allocated at a lower level than was the case in 2019. This will impact young farmers applying for entitlements on ‘naked ground’ or farming land with entitlement values

lower than the envisaged national average.

While this may not suit some young farmers, there are a suite of measures available in Pillar II for young farmers which may be more beneficial to them and the Complimentary Income Support for Young Farmers (CIS-YF) has been allocated €35 million per year under Pillar I. This will be rolled out to qualifying young farmers on a per hectare basis under the new CAP as opposed to being linked to payment entitlements. €9M INVESTMENT IN HORTICULTURE SECTOR It is not all about commercial farming, other aspects of the food production also benefit from these recent announcements, including the Commercial Horticulture Sector. Like all schemes these days the word competitive is associated with the press release, and one wonders is it now becoming a competition to see who “wins” the funding. Let us hope not, and that the funding is for all within the sector.

The scheme, which covers all horticultural areas including field vegetables, mushrooms, protected food crops, amenity crops, soft fruit, and apples, to beekeeping, aims to facilitate environmentally friendly practices, promote the diversification of on-farm activities, improve the quality of products and improve working conditions. The closing date for receipt of applications for the 2021 scheme is the 17th of December 2021.

The horticulture sector generated output with a farm gate value of almost €469 million in 2020, with an estimated 6,600 employed full time in primary production activity and a further 11,000 employed in value added and downstream businesses. The industry continues to be very dynamic, where growers and producers are constantly improving sustainability through the adoption of lean technologies and energy efficient systems.

The scheme is 100% funded by the Irish Government and comprises of €9 million. One would have thought that the sector was larger than that and deserved a larger slice of the pie, but one must take what one can get. Call it a stepping stone to achieve what one wants!

Celeriac, Ham and Apple Risotto Mark Murphy: Dingle Cookery School Meanwhile put a pot on over low to medium heat, add a little oil and add the shallots, garlic and some sage. Let this cook slowly for about 5 minutes. Add in the risotto rice and stir for about 2-3 minutes. Add in enough stock to cover the risotto. Stir it every now and then. When it dries add a little more stock and stir. Repeat this until the rice is just cooked and has a little bite to it.

Despite what people think, risotto is easy and so versatile. Learn to make a good risotto and you will find that you can use any seasonal vegetables that may have as the base. I always make a little puree from the main vegetable in the risotto. This helps to lighten the risotto and will save you from adding loads of cream at the end. The subtle creamy and nutty flavour from the celeriac will pairs so well with the cooked ham and then is balanced with the apple at the end.

Add in the puree, the cooked diced celeriac and the ham. Stir this well and cook for a minute or so. Taste and season (remember the ham will have some salt). Add a little stock to loosen the risotto before serving.

a little butter and once it foams add a few sage leaves and the apple. Cook for only a minute or so.

Divide the risotto between 4 bowls. Spoon some of the garnish over the risotto and drizzle some extra virgin olive oil over it and give it a little parmesan.

Once this batch is soft add them to a blender and bring to a puree (keep this warm).

There are partial deferral arrangements. If you meet the partial deferral criteria you can choose to defer 50% of your LPT liability and pay the balance. Interest is charged on the deferred amount and it remains a charge on the property.

Know Your Rights: Local Property Tax If you are the owner of a residential property on 1 November 2021, you have to pay Local Property Tax (LPT). The tax is based on the value of your property on 1 November 2021. You must assess the value of your property and make a tax return for LPT by 7 November 2021. The following are some common queries which the Citizens Information Service has received in relation to the Local Property Tax: Q. Who must pay LPT? A. If you own residential property on 1 November, including rental property, you must pay LPT. This is called the liability date. For 2022 LPT, the liability date is 1 November 2021.

If there is more than one owner you need to agree who will pay the tax, otherwise Revenue can collect it from any of the owners.

In some cases, you must pay the LPT if you are not the owner:

Q. How do I pay the LPT? Revenue offers a range of ways to pay your Local Property Tax (LPT). You can see these on revenue.ie You can choose to make one single payment or you can pay the tax in equal instalments over the year. You must confirm your payment option for 2022 by 7 November 2021.

Q. My house is currently on the market and I hope to have it sold by the end of the year. Am I liable for the LPT in 2022?

If you are the owner of a residential property that is liable for LPT on 1 November 2021 then it is your responsibility to pay LPT in 2022.

If you sell your residential property after 1 November 2021 you will be liable to pay LPT on the property for 2022, even if it is sold before the 31st December 2021 For anyone needing information, advice or have an advocacy issue, you can call a member of the local Citizens Information team in Kerry on 0761 07 7860, they will be happy to assist and make an appointment if necessary. The offices are staffed from Monday to Friday from 10am to 4pm. Alternatively you can email on tralee@ citinfo.ie or log on to www.citizensinformation.ie for further information.

•If you are a tenant with a long-term lease of more than 20 years or •If you have a right to live in the property for life or for more than 20years or a right to live there ‘to the exclusion of others’ The landlord pays LPT if a property is rented on a normal short-term lease (less than 20 years).

Q. How do I value my property?

A. LPT is a self-assessment tax. This means that you calculate the tax you have to pay based on your own assessment of the market value of your property. Revenue does not value properties for LPT but it provides an online valuation tool and guidance on how you can value your property yourself. The on-line tool will give you the average values for property in your area. You need to take into account the specific features of your property compared to others to decide whether it is within the average valuation band given for your area. For example, your property could be smaller or bigger than the average in your area.

You should use information about properties that are similar to yours, for example, properties that are a similar type, age and size. You can choose to ask a professional valuer to value your property or get information from local estate agents.

You can also use the residential property price register to check the price of properties, comparable to yours, that have been sold in your area in recent years.

You should keep a copy of any information sources that you use and any other supporting documentation. Revenue may request this from you if it reviews your assessment.

Q. My property was adapted to make it more disability accessible, does this effect the valuation for LPT? A. If your property has been adapted to make it more suitable for a person with disability, you may be eligible to reduce the property valuation. If you are eligible for this relief, you can reduce your valuation by €87,500, which is the width of most of the LPT valuation bands. This will move your valuation into a lower valuation band and reduce your LPT Charge.

Q. My property was built in 2014 and I was not liable for LPT up until now.

Has this changed?

A. Revenue have announced changes to the exemptions that will apply for LPT due in 2022. Your property may not have been liable for LPT for the previous valuation period from 2013 to 2021 e.g. if your house was built after 2013. However, your property becomes liable for LPT for the next valuation period from 2022 to 2025, as long as it is a residential property on 1 November 2021.

Q. Can I defer paying my LPT? You can defer (or partially defer) payment of your Local Property Tax (LPT) if you meet certain conditions. If you meet the deferral criteria you can choose to defer the full LPT until your financial circumstances improve or the property is sold. However, this does not mean that you are exempt from the LPT. Interest is charged on the deferred amount and the deferred amount remains a charge on the property.

Tomás [Tom]Ó Sé 1945-2021.

minor medal in 1963 when he lined out at right half back,number 5,where else,when Kerry defeated Westmeath in the final in Croke Park.

throughout Ireland and even as faraway places as The Algarve in Portugal,The U.S.A. and even Jamaica in the Caribbean.

D’imir Tomás go rialta lena chumann, An Ghaeltacht agus bhí sé sa line lán-cúil mar aon le imireoirí eile ó bparóiste ag imirt le Ciarraí Thiar nuair a shroiseadar an county final I 1967.

Toisc cúlra feirmeoireachta bheith ag Tomás agus a thaithí ag obair leis An Roinn Talamhaíochta bhíodh fonn I gcónaí air le teacht an Earraigh roinnt curadóireachta a dhéanamh ina phaiste talún in Imleach Slat.Is minic é ag maíomh faoin na “new spuds” a b’fhearr sa pharóiste a bhíodh aige gan trácht ar na torthaí agus glasraí sa tollán.

Tom moved to Leitrim in 1968 on taking up employment with the Department of Agriculture and it was while there that he won an intermediate championship medal with Aughawillen in 1974.

Do shleamhnaigh Tomás Ó Sé ó Ard a’Bhóthair uainn i Ospidéal Ollscoil Chorcaí ar an 21ú Lúnasa 2021.

Saolaíodh Tom ar an 20 Feabhra 1945 an dara mac de thriur do Tommy Shea ó Chathair a’Treanntaigh agus Beatrice ó Ballymote, CO. Shligigh.Saolaíodh Tom i Londain mar aon lena dhreatháir Micheál, beannacht Dé leis.D’aistrigh an chlann go hArd a’Bhóthair mar ar cheannaíodar gabháltas beag talún agus siopa gróseara. Thosnaíodar amach ar an ngnó sin ar Lá Chaitlíona 25ú Samhain 1950.

D’fhreastail Tomás ar Scoil Chaitlín Naofa, Cillmhicadomhnaigh agus ansan ar Scoil na mBráthar sa Daingean. Bhí cairt aige agus é ana óg B I N 77 agus is mó scéal seoigh atá ag a chomrádaithe faoin gcairt céanna.

At this stage Tom was about to display his football skills and it wasn’t long until he was called into the Kerry minor panel culminating in winning an All-Ireland

While domiciled in Leitrim Tom fell in love with Rosanna Joyce from Foxford in County Mayo who worked at that time in the Munster and Leinster Bank, now A.I.B. in Ballinamore,Co.Leitrim.They got engaged in December 1970 and married on 8th December 1971.Tom had big plans for the golden anniversary celebrations next Christmas ach ni mar a síltear a bítear.

When a vacancy occurred with the Department in Kerry Tom like many a Kerry person seized the opportunity to return to his native shore.Rosanna and himself set up home in Imleach Slat,Tom continuing to work out of the office in Tralee and Rosanna taking up a post in the clerical staff in Ostán na Sceilige in Dingle.

While working for the Department in Kerry Tom got to know quite a lot of farmers who all considered him to be a most obliging and co-operative official.

Around this time Tomás had taken up another past time and that was golf.He became a member of Golf Chumann Ceann Sibéal and spent hours on the course practicing his swing and putting. He became captain in 1992 and president in 2000.He played on many courses

Conservatories, porches & pallidio doors.

Tom had many other pastimes.He loved to travel with his beloved Rosanna,he enjoyed a game of 31 during the winter,was fairly handy on the bosca ceoil and he liked to sip a quiet pint with friends in Krugers or in Pio’s establishment back the road or just relax at home.

Being a Fear Fionntrá and an Ó Sé Tom’s fanatic interest in Gaelic football continued to the day he died and he took great pride in Páidí’s achievements on the playing fields as well as his nephews winning All-Irelands.

Tom bore his illness in recent years with fantastic patience and dignity.He had a most positive attitude to the many setbacks he endured and always looked on the bright side.

Tom’s funeral Mass in Séipéal Fionntrá was celebrated by an t-Athair Eoghan Ó Cadhla assisted by Fr Ahern and was buried in Reilig Chaitlíona beside his brothers Michael and Páidí on a beautiful August day attended by a large crowd from near and far.

Tourism Talk and Thoughts from the Dingle Peninsula Caroline Boland A special day was had by all who could attend ‘A Community Celebrating the Life of Fungie’ last Sunday. The day began with the unveiling of a stunning mural of Fungie by Ciara McKenna on Dingle Lighthouse and visitors, both local and further afield, were all treated to complimentary boat trips out to the mouth of the harbour to view and enjoy the exceptional mural overlooking where Fungie once lived. All donations were made to Dingle Coast and Cliff Rescue and Mallow Search and Rescue in appreciation of their incredible work to those in need. Reverend Phyllis and Father Michael gave a Ceremony of Blessing of Boats with a poignant blessing to all those lost to us in the last year, to those in our community who earn a living from the sea and to all, safe passage at sea. The pier hosted live music sessions and special thanks to all the children across the peninsula for their wonderful essays and / or drawings of Fungie which were all displayed on the day. Murphy’s Ice Cream added to the fun and kept all happy with delicious tasters of their awardwinning ice cream. The legacy of Fungie’s spirit will live on as a Scholarship opportunity, to study Marine Biology / Conservation, is being created and will be made available to the pupils of our local secondary schools across the Dingle Peninsula. Oíche Shamhna shona daoibh go léir!

Tourism News and Community Updates: Covid-19 Public Health Measures for Hospitality from 22nd October 2021: “In line with public health advice, the remaining aspects of the hospitality, entertainment and nighttime economy sector can reopen only with the full range of protective measures in place and the wide and robust implementation of the EU Digital COVID Certificate (COVID-19 pass). The further easing of restrictions planned for 22 October can proceed with the extension of some non-pharmaceutical interventions including use of COVID-19 pass (as set out below) in light of the high level of disease in the community at this point in time and the uncertain trajectory of the disease.

Protective measures include: • requirement for EU Digital COVID Certificate (COVID-19 pass) (vaccine or recovery certificate) for indoor hospitality and events; • social distancing; • face masks (can be removed for consumption of food or drinks as appropriate); • table service only in hospitality settings (max of 10 adults per table, and max 15 including children); • collection of contact tracing data; • for indoor live music, drama, live entertainment and sporting events audience/spectators should be fully seated (standing permitted at your seat); • specific sectoral guidance will be developed for nightclubs setting out appropriate protective measures. This will involve COVID-19 passes, contact tracing data collection and wearing of face masks except when eating, drinking and dancing; • COVID-19 passes and fixed capacity limits will not apply for outdoor events. However, sectors should ensure appropriate protective measures are in place;

• organisers of indoor and outdoor group activities should ensure that appropriate protective measures are in place, and where indoor groups have a mix of vaccinated and unvaccinated people indoors, pods of 6 should apply. Fixed capacity limits will not apply to these indoor and outdoor group activities; • religious services and weddings can proceed without capacity limits but with all other protective measures remaining in place; and • return to workplaces will continue on a phased and cautious basis for specific business requirements.”

Plean Teanga Chiarraí Thiar - Eolas & Nuacht West Kerry Language Plan - Info & News Ar scáth a chéile a mhaireann na daoine, a deirtear. Is fíor gan dabht é sin, go háirithe i dtaobh teangacha mionlaithe. Beidh duine fostaithe go luath chun Plean Teanga an Daingin a fheidhmiú, agus idir é sin, agus an iarracht ana mhór atá á dhéanamh ag pobal Gaeltachta Chorca Dhuibhne, is gearr go mbeidh an Ghaelainn chomh láidir agus a bhí riamh.

Bíonn éagsúlacht iontach le postanna agus Gaelainn mar chuid dóibh, seo daoibh cúpla post dóibh siúd a bhfuil deis uaibh:

In the shadow of each other people live, it is said. That's definitely true, particularly in light of minoritised languages. Someone will be employed soon to implement the Dingle Language Plan, and between that and the huge effort that Gaeltacht people of Corca Dhuibhne are making, the Irish language will soon be as strong as it always has been.

From West Kerry to the UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, a team of delegates representing the Dingle Peninsula 2030 sustainability initiative are putting their money where their mouth is when it comes to sustainable travel, and making the trip in electric vehicles. On 1st November 2021 the representatives of Dingle Peninsula 2030 will depart Dingle for Glasgow to participate in COP-26, the UN Climate Change Conference.

Travelling by electric vehicle they will visit communities in Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland who are working on similar sustainability and transition initiatives, to share learnings. The journey is being sponsored by Kerry Co Co as part of the Covenant of Mayors and by ESB Networks.

The Dingle Peninsula 2030 team will participate in a side event on “Transforming climate solutions for business, cities and civil society in Europe & Latin America”at COP-26 in Glasgow on 2nd November 2021. The event will showcase stories of positive actions from around the world, bringing together voices of different stakeholders to illustrate how impact is being made at a global scale by an engaged network with common principles and goals to achieve a sustainable world.

Artists working in any discipline are invited to apply to become an Embedded Artist with Corca Dhuibhne Inbhuanaithe – A Creative Imagining.

Funded by the Creative Climate Action fund, this project invites an artist or artists to creatively engage with the farming community and the Corca Dhuibhne Creativity & Innovation Hub to support participating farmers to identify climate action solutions that will work for them and wider society.

The Embedded Artist will bring their unique perspective to the project, helping to generate new ways of thinking, fresh perspectives and alternative approaches to the challenges of addressing climate change. Applications are welcome from individual artists as well as groups or collectives. The selected artist(s) will be supported throughout by the Corca Dhuibhne Inbhuanaithe steering group and the Project Manager.

Corca Dhuibhne Inbhuanaithe – A Creative Imagining is a recipient of the inaugural Creative Climate Action fund, an initiative from the Creative Ireland Programme in collaboration with the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications that supports creative, cultural and artistic projects that build awareness around climate change and empower citizens to make meaningful behavioural transformations.

A Storied Kingdom á sheoladh i nGarraí na dTor Roibeard Ó Cathasaigh Bhí ardoíche i dTabhairne Uí Shúilleabháin, Garraí na dTor istoíche Shathairn seo chaite, 27 D. Fómhair, mar a raibh lán an tí ann do sheoladh an leabhair A Storied Kingdom – saothar suaithinseach/distinctive ón iriseoir fuinniúil áitiúil leis an gKerryman – céad leabhar le Tadhg Evans ón dTobar, bail air. Tréaslaímid a éacht foilsitheoireachta le Tadhg, agus molaimid an leabhar dea-dheartha, dea-scríofa so mar bhronntanas álainn Samhna nó Nollag, le ceannach i siopaí áitiúla @ €20. Ár nduine muinteartha, an craoltóir is ceannaire réigiúnach ar RTÉ, Raidió na Gaeltachta, Baile na nGall, gur iriseoir cumasach é chomh maith, Dara Ó Cinnéide a sheol an leabhar. B’é an t-údar ba thúisce a labhair, agus tugaim anso i dtús báire coimriú ar chaint nádúrtha Thaidhg. Labhair Dara sa dá theanga, agus léifir thíos achoimre ar a aitheasc fileata siúd ina theanga dhúchais.

Tadhg Evans Fáilte romhaibh, a chairde, agus gura míle as tacú liom anocht.

There is never any fear of the Lispole crowd to support, and the West Kerry crowd as well, and from further afield too, thank ye very much for your incredible turnout. I suppose, I started working on this book five years ago, I was at home one night, reading Mcllvanney On Boxing, stories that Hugh Mcllvanney had written on boxing, obviously. I thought it might be a good idea to get what I thought were my best stories together, and I’ve done that now. It’s a reflection as well on five years with the Kerryman, five very enjoyable years. It all started with my first interview on my first day with Dara Ó Cinnéide who is here tonight to help me launch the book.

The people I need to thank, firstly, and there are plenty of them. Orla Kelly Publishing, it simply wouldn’t be here without her. They say you should never judge a book by its cover – that’s true – but I wish an exception for my book – the cover is so good, and the credit for that is due to Emma Prendeville, a local girl as well, and Emma did an incredible job.

Next, the contents of the book, I have to thank my Dad, firstly, he loves attention [gáirí geala] and a friend of mine from Mayo, Cathal Larkin, who couldn’t be here tonight, they gave it a good proofreading beforehand – Dad loves to pick up on my mistakes every week in the Kerryman, so I finally found use for him on that front, and ye did a great job and I thank ye very much.

It was very important for me to have the launch here in Lispole and to have it here in O’Sullivan’s Bar in Garraí, and I’m very thankful for the wonderful setup here tonight. I’m a bit overwhelmed to be honest, thank ye all very much – Caroline Danagher is working away in the background on food, ye have that to look forward to, more so than my book! [gáirí].

Of course, I have to thank the Corkman, even more so the Kerryman – I’ve been working with the Kerryman for five years now, it’s been incredibly eventful five and a half years, every day is so different, it’s a tough job, 28 Corca Dhuibhne Beo

it’s a stressful job, but the people that I work with, and the nature of the job itself, make it the best job you could have. I owe a huge thank you to everybody that I interviewed – there are fifty stories in the book, without them the book wouldn’t be here either, and I’m extremely grateful to all my interviewees. I’d also like to thank Radio Kerry and Raidió na Gaeltachta, and all my friends who came here to support me tonight.

Finally, the importance of family, thinking of the people who are not here, I have three grandparents who didn’t make it to this day. I have a story in the book about an uncle who died fifty years ago, and my Uncle Paddy who died six monts ago tomorrow, and one of the last times I met him was here in this bar, it’s poignant from that point of view. My Grandfather Tommy isn’t here tonight, but is here in spirit with us and is still going strong at ninety-two, and I’d like to give him a special mention, and all my extended and immediate family without whom this wouldn’t have happened. I hope ye enjoy the book. It’s been a tough eighteen/nineteen months for everybody, and I hope this will be some little bit of joy at the end of all that.

Sin é uaimse, agus anois, seo chugaibh Dara Ó Cinnéide chun an leabhar a sheoladh.

Dara Ó Cinnéide A Mhuintir Lios Póil agus a chairde linn; Tréimhse ana-thorthúil í seo i stair na scríbhneoireachta is na foilsitheoireachta i Lios Póil. Níl an bhliain fhéin ann ó seoladh magnum opus Phaddy Uí Ghrifín ar stair CLG an pharóiste, Laochra Lios Póil. I rith an tsamhraidh, seoladh chughainn seod staire Mhíchíl Uí Mhóráin, Luíochán Lios Póil agus anseo i nGarraí na dTor anocht tá ‘L’ eile, Litreacha Ceana agus Grá ó Lios Póil agus chuig Lios Póil. Sin é, i ndáiríre, atá sa leabhar seo A Storied Kingdom – scéalta na muintire fuaid faid chontae Chiarraí ach iad fuinte, fáiscthe, fuirsithe agus feicthe trí shúile agus trí chluasa Lios Póil.

Dála gach aon leabhar a chuirtear os comhair an phobail, is comhartha misnigh agus mórtais é go mbeadh duine éigin atá sáite in earnáil na hiriseoireachta, sásta tuairisc ar imeachtaí an tsaoil sa chontae seo a chur os comhair an tsaoil. Fáiltimis roimis an bhféinmhuinín a léiríonn sé. Is léir nach dteastaíonn ó Thadhg ár scéalta, ár stair, ár n-oidhreacht agus ár ndúchas a ligint i ndíchuimhne agus ní náir leis é sin a fhógairt os comhair a phobail féin anseo i nGarraí na dTor anocht.

Faighimid éachtaint doimhin sa leabhar ar cheard na scéalaíochta agus na hiriseoireachta agus ar an ionramháil a dheineann Tadhg ar an gceard sin. Molann an saothar an fear. Tá éirithe leis, i dtréimhse ana-ghairid, a bhuille is a ghuth a aimsiú in earnáil ina mbíonn sé deacair tú féin a dhealú glan amach ón slua. Is léir gur duine é Tadhg a éistíonn le fuaim na habhann agus a bhíonn ag braith roimis sara dtéann sé ina cuilithe.

Tá an leabhar roinnte ina chúig choda; Spórt, Stair & Cultúr, Gaile & Gaisce, Rannóg gan Rangú agus an ceann is fearr ar fad acu, dar liom, Snámh in Aghaidh Easa. Is sa chuid seo den leabhar idir leathanaigh 123 agus 193, a bhuailimid leis an daoine go bhfuil coraí crua an tsaoil á gcur díobh acu. Daoine go múchtar a nguthanna go minic. Daoine a raibh de mhisneach agus de mhuinín iontu a scéalta a roinnt le Tadhg agus fios go maith acu go mbeadh a scéalta á n-insint go tuisceanach, trócaireach agus go cothrom.

Seachas san, tá ana-chur síos ag Tadhg ré órga na caide i bPobalscoil Chorca Dhuibhne. Léiríonn sé glé-thuiscint ar sprid agus ar éirim Chomórtas Peile na Gaeltachta agus tá ceann des na cuntais is fearr dá bhfaca in aon áit ar lá an chomhairimh tar éis olltoghcháin ar leathanach 244. Arís, an greann fite fuaite leis an ngaois i gcur síos gonta, beacht ar cheann de chaithimh aimsire móra na tíre seo- an pholaitíocht agus a ngaibheann leí.

Tá an insint agus an tuairisciú sa leabhar seo, snasta, fileata agus rithimiúil. Tá gluaiseacht agus fuinneamh ann a thógann an léitheoir ar sodar ag gabháil ó leathanach go leathanach agus tá an daonnacht ag pléascadh tríd an insint go léir ó chlúdach go clúdach.

Is dóigh liom ná fuil ag teastáil ó aon duine againn, pé cúrsa a thógaimid sa tsaol, ach go mbeadh ár gcuid féin mórálach asainn. I ndeireadh an leabhair thiar, tá cur síos ag Tadhg ar chuid dá mhuintir a chuaigh roimis agus é ag cáiseamh san abairt deireanach féin ná fuil cuid acu linn inniu chun an saothar seo a léamh agus an oíche seo a bheith acu.

Ní baol duit, a Thaidhg, mar pé’n áit ina bhfuil muintir Eibhín a d’imigh romhat, chaithfidis bheith mórálach asat.

Tobar abú! Lios Póil abú! Ciarraí Abú! Tá A Storied Kingdom tagtha ar an saol agus ina thosach atánn tú, a Thaidhg.

Small Changes: Data Centres

the governments targets for electric car usage or residential heating etc. which will all place even more pressure on national energy supplies.

It’s important to note that data centres are also placing a huge stress on the country’s water supply, especially in Dublin. A single centre can use 500,000 Litres per day and up to 5 million litres of water a day in a heatwave (the average person uses 129L of water a day).

There are a number of reasons that Ireland shares more than a fair share of the burden of global digital activities. To begin with the Irish climate lends itself well to data centres as a cooler climate means less energy is required to keep the servers cool. We have a skilled workforce and low tax rates.

A stable political landscape is important from a data protection (GDPR) and a legislative point of view. In addition, the Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation has been pursuing a policy of promoting Ireland as a digital economy hotspot to attract tech giants like Amazon, Google and Facebook to boost job creation. Data centres are viewed as a key aspect of this plan as connections need to be in close proximity to the data and key markets.

Over the past number of months there has been quite a number of alarming headlines in relation to the security of the country’s energy supply. While it now seems that the lights will stay on over the course of winter this year, a shortfall of electricity supply is likely over the next five winters unless action is taken. Furthermore, Electric Ireland has recently announced its second price increase for residential customers this year and despite trying to reach a target of 70% electricity being generated by renewables by 2030, two gas fuelled power stations have just been recommissioned (Huntstown in Dublin and Whitegate in Cork) in order to alleviate pressure on the grid. There are a number of reasons for the current energy supply crisis, both global and indigenous, but a boom in the number of data centres built in the country in recent years is being highlighted as a primary culprit for the increased energy demand in this country.

A data centre is where data is stored, managed and processed. We are used to being told that our data is being stored in ‘the cloud’ but this is a euphemism for extensive bricks and mortar buildings that need large quantities of resources such as water and energy to run the servers and prevent them from overheating.

Everything we do using technology consumes data - every tweet, photo, audio and online purchase. The billions of WhatsApp messages we send and the YouTube and Netflix content we stream need to be processed. The Internet of Things (IoT), whereby our smart devices connect automatically and ‘talk’ to each other (e.g. updating software, autonomous farming equipment, and wearable health monitors) require vast amounts of storage space in data centres to operate effectively.

There are around 8 million data centres worldwide at present, accounting for between 1 and 2 per cent of global electricity demand. If we are to continue with the technological revolution then they are all very much needed. Facilitating the increased use of smart devices also has the potential to aid in the decarbonisation of society i.e. remote working leads to less commuting. The environmental impact of the data centres can also be reduced with planning foresight by co-locating them near domestic homes or industries so that the waste heat generated from cooling servers can be recycled through a district heat network.

The picture in Ireland however, is quite different, with data centres using a disproportionate amount Irelands overall total energy use. Dublin is the data centre hub of Europe and home to 25% of the entire data centre market (2018 figures). In the past 4 years alone the annual increase in electricity usage by data centres is the equivalent of adding 140,000 homes to the grid every year. There are currently 70 centres operating in Ireland (and 8 more under construction) accounting for 11% of the country’s total grid capacity at present. Acording to Climate Love Ireland and Dr. Patrick Bresnihan of NUI Maynooth, the energy used by data centres through existing connections will rise to more than 30% by the end of the decade as current centres reach their full processing capacity. As households are experiencing increasing energy bills and carbon taxes, the continuing granting of planning permission to data centres is perceived as an unfair distribution of costs and benefits. In addition, achieving the ambitious target of 70% renewable energy by 2030 seems highly unlikely if data centres continue to be added to the grid. This doesn’t take into account

So what can we do as individuals to address the problems we face with data centres? To begin with we can clean up our personal data use. Delete unneeded emails, photos, texts and audio. Unsubscribe from mailing lists and promotional websites. Use streaming services over Wi-Fi rather than using mobile data. These types of actions are the digital equivalent of using a reusable straws or a bag for life- the impact of individual action is negligible but it adds up to have a considerable impact if everyone does their bit.

There is an obvious need for data centres so demanding an outright ban on their development would not be very beneficial in the long term. However, we should be very cautious of their growth especially in the light of the pressure being placed on all other sectors to reduce their energy usage and rising costs for everybody. As individuals and community groups we can lobby politicians constructively. We could follow the example set by Singapore which finds itself in a similar situation to this country. It has introduced a moratorium (as opposed to a ban) on the building of data centres which will remain in place until renewable energy capacity has increased sufficiently. Additionally, data centres are currently approved on a county council basis. We need to lobby for a national policy to respond to the planning of these enormous constructions so that they can be colocated to make intelligent use of their heat (e.g. the new Amazon web services data centre in Tallaght), be placed near water supplies under less pressure and close to renewable energy sources.

Bacon & Cabbage

DINGLE CABS 087 660 2323 Car & Mini Bus Hire

Info@dinglecabs.com www.dinglecabs.com Prop: Sean Lynch German and Eastern European cuisines feature the cruciferous heads at least as much as does the Irish table. There, light beers (particularly wheat beers) and cool-weather white wines such as Riesling, Gewürztraminer, and Pinot Gris might accompany a Choucroute, Golubtsi, or Töltött Káposzta. Lighter red wines like Cabernet Franc (think Chinon), Beaujolais, and Hungarian Zweigelt also put cabbage in its place.

Considering the season, and that pork costars with cabbage, apple-based drinks (such as sparkling apple juice, or freshly pressed cloudy apple) go down a treat!

Never let it be said of us that we’ve notions… at least not all the time. We might go on about champagne with oysters, hand-pressed ciders with your crab toes, and craft brews with your summertime burger. Sure, we love those classic pairings, but we’re now well into the season of Chorca Dhuibhne comfort food. Not much signifies that to us than a traditional plate of bacon and cabbage.

Like all “simple” foods, there is no where to hide inferior ingredients in this iconic dish. Proper bacon (dried-cured collar bacon is best to our liking), a firm head of local green cabbage, carrots from the sandy soil below the hill, and freshly dug floury spuds elevate this dish from humble fare to a meal we serve to visitors from around the globe. Well-sourced bacon and cabbage is Ireland’s answer to the French Cassoulet, Hungary’s Goulash, or Adobo from The Philippines. We, therefore, think it’s time to upping the beverage pairing with this iconic repast.

While a pint of milk (or, perhaps in days past, a glass of buttermilk) is right at home with the bold flavours and salted backbone of the dish, there are many other beverages which both pair and foil.

Setting wines up to take on both cabbage and salt can be daunting to consider at first blush. This is where we consider how other cultures navigate the task.

The natural sweetness of carrots balances the bitterness of cabbage. What can sometimes be difficult to work with in a dish like this is the level of saltiness. We like to think of drinks that pair well with salty snacks when considering salt-cured meats.

Again, light beers, fruity wines work well as do ginger ale and ginger beer, black tea (smoky Lapsang is an interesting accompaniment) and sweet or off-dry sparkling wines. A touch of sweetness – be it in wine, beer, soda, or juice – will seldom go wrong with this dinner.

Whatever you’re pairing with your bacon cabbage, don’t let the alcohol content go over 12-13 percent. Beyond that, the balance goes off and you begin fighting flavours rather than cuddling up next to them. The one exception might be a small glass of dry Sherry. Fino or Manzanilla have a slight salinity as well as pleasant nuttiness which we’ve always loved with potatoes.

So, the next time a Maharees cabbage calls your name or a joint of green bacon in the window of Jerry Kennedy’s catches your eye, we hope that you’ll remember that this humble West Kerry comfort has a rightful place among the provincial staples from around the world. We raise a glass to our unassuming classic: Bacon and Cabbage.

Please, always drink responsibly and never – EVER – drive after drinking.

Sláinte mhaith duit fhéin agus dod' chlann. Cheers

Ba é a mharaigh Socrates na Gréige sa bhliain 399 AD nuair a cúisíodh é as aigne na n-óg a chur ar míthreoir. Chreidtí go láidir in Éirinn go dtiocfadh mí-ádh ar an té a chaithfeadh súil air nó go dtaispeánfaí dó é. Agus dá mba mhaith le duine planda a bheith aige dhéanfaí corda a chur timpeall air agus ligtí do mhadra é a tharrac ón dtalamh. Chuirtí an madra ag rith agus má bhí díobháil ag baint leis sin, an madra a mharófaí. In ainneoin an mhí-áidh a bhain leis agus an nimh a bheith ann, ortha an ghrá a bhí ann chomh maith. Dheintí deich gcinn de na duilleoga a thriomú, dheintí púdar astu agus thabharfaí sa bhia nó sa deoch é don té go mbeifí ag iarraidh é a mhealladh. Maidir le cúrsaí leighis dheintí an phréamh a bheiriú agus dheintí céirí as agus leagtaí é sin ar at nó ar othras. Chreidtí leis go leigheas ann dosna daitheacha.

Is amhlaidh a leagtaí an céirín céanna ar chosa tinne ag an mbó nó má chuaigh gairbhéal nó cloichín gafa i ladhar na crúibe ag an mbó nó ag ainmhí feirme eile.

Film Review: Dune Tom Ó Neachtain Dune is Hollywood’s latest attempt at adapting the seminal 1965 sci-fi novel of the same name. The film centres on the desert world Arrakis, home of the valuable mineral known as Spice, and the multiple factions competing for control of the planet.

Director Denis Villeneuve has proven his talent for mature science fiction epics over the last decade, making him the ideal option for a big-budget Dune adaptation.

The film’s most noteworthy attribute, apart from the sizeable cast, is its visual scope. The expansive landscapes, intricately crafted sets and high

spectacle set-pieces are a joy to watch, bring the book’s world to life excellently. The stellar make-up and costumes add to the worldbuilding, and are sure to win the Oscar this year. Many recent films and series have crumbled under the weight their enormous scale, but Dune never lets its visuals pull focus away from its rich characters and world.

The illustrious cast are all on top form, with Rebecca Ferguson and Stellan Skarsgard in particular making lengthy monologues feel effortless and palatable. A film of this scale always needed strong performances, and the entire cast here were clearly up to the challenge. The score is also one of Hans Zimmer’s best ever, and cleverly revisits elements from some of his previous tracks, as well as some new ideas. The score, paired with Villenueve’s visuals, creates a distinct and beautiful atmosphere that rewards cinema viewing. The book’s slow pace doesn’t always translate well to the screen, with maybe too much

of the film spent on down-time between the important plot-beats. The film-makers made the clever decision to adapt only half of the book, but that leads to the film’s greatest flaw, in that the story feels incomplete by the end. The important characters and plotlines are set-up well here, but very few are resolved. If the inevitable sequel is up to the same standard, this could be a perfect duology, but as of now it feels like only half the story has been told.

Although it doesn’t hold together as a complete story, Denis Villeneuve’s Dune is a perfectly shot and designed, well-acted epic, worthy of its weighty source material.

Kitson’s Irish War Mastermind of the Dirty War in Ireland le

David Burke foilsithe ag

Mercier ‘The English government has taken steps to halt the prosecution of soldiers responsible for the deaths of civilians in Northern Ireland, most of whom had no connection to paramilitary activities. These killings were part of a ruthless dirty war that commenced in 1970 when Brigadier Frank Kitson, a counter-insurgency specialist, was sent to Northern Ireland.

Kitson had spent decades in England’s other colonies refining old, and developing new, techniques which he applied in Northern Ireland. He became the architect of a clandestine war, waged against Nationalists while ignoring Loyalist atrocities.

The English Widgery and Saville inquiries did not hold Kitson and his troops accountable for Bloody Sunday. Kitson’s Irish War lays bare the evidence they discounted: Kitson’s role in the events leading up to and surrounding that massacre; evidence from a deserter from 1 Para who joined the IRA; a deceitful MI5 agent; a courageous whistle blower whom the English state tried to discredit, and much more, all of which points to a motive for the attack on the Bogside.

This book unlocks some of the key secrets of the Dirty War that the English government is still determined to cover-up.’ - Mercier

Ó Mhárthain

Bhaile an Mhuilinnn.

Breandán Mac Gearailt

Bhuail an bás gaiscígh i saol na filíochta agus an cheoil le coicíos anuas.

Máire Mhac an tSaoi, file binn cumasach cleachtúil agus cara mór do mhuintir Dhún Chaoin.

Ainneoin a bhfuil ag dul i bhfeabhas i saol na heacnamaíochta,tá ceisteanna móra le freagairt. Mar shampla conas go bhfuil scaoilte leis an mbeartas cíos calaíosach a chur ar mhic léinn atá ag freastal ar institiúití léinn mar Ollscoileanna. Le cur leis an aithis is minic ná bíonn aon lóistín ar fáil agus go mbíonn ar scoláirí bochta taisteal fiche agus triocha míle gach lá dtí láthair an léighinn.

An Leigheas atá ar seo ná bloic árasáin a thógaint fé chúram an stáit agus srian a chur leis an gcostas aíochta atá ann le tamall. Níl agus ní bheidh scoláirí abalta teacht thairis na fadhbannna. Má bhíonn bloic árasáin ar fáil sin an fhadhb sin réitithe. Is é an stát a thógfadh iad sin agus bheadh máistreacht áirithe ortha ag na hinsitiúití léinn i gcomhar leis an státchóras.

Ní aon chaint san aer é seo ach ceart lár na fírinne.

Fadhb eile. Tá ag éirí go diail le tionscal na turasóireachta anseo, a chonach san ortha, ach tá daoine ag gearán fén gcostas atá ar óstáin agus tithe aíochta. Go deimhin tá Éire an- tharraingteach ach nách bhfuil an Phortaingéil agus an Spáinn ar aon dul linn ach ar chostas i bhfad níos lú. D’fhéadfá dul go dtí an Spáinn le saoire a bheith agat agus filleadh abhaile agus seans gan oiread airgid agus a chaithfeá anseo. In imeacht aimsire tréigfidh an t-éan a nead agus is san Iodáil nó i dtíortha na Meán Mhara a bheadh uaireanta 50% níos saoire a bheidh tarrac na ndaoine. Ní ag gearán féin gcóiríocht atá anseo atáim ach caithfear cúrsaí ciallmhara a bheith bonn ar bhonn. Sa chás sin ní thréigfear Éire mar go bhfuil a buanna féin aici. Níor mhór trí rannóg a bheith ann, daor, meán agus saor.

Chaithfeadh gach ceann acu seo a bheith glan agus saor ó aon shalachar ná aicíd. Fé láthair tá costas aíochta furmhór an lóistín imithe le gealaigh.

Ní chuireann san isteach ná amach ar ghaigí na gcrua sparán.

Beidh sé cosúil le Vancouver. Raghair ann uair amháin ach mura bhfuil pócaí teann agat ní raghair arís. Teastóidh reachtaíocht chiallmhar leis an úinéir agus an turasóir a shásamh. Ní aon mhaith bheith ag rith linn féin mar sa deire sinn féin a bheidh thíos leis.

Teaspach gan dúchas? Ní shea, ach an bheart láithreach an bheart. Tá leigheas na bhfadhbanna thuas ag an stát-chóras, ach a bheith glic seiftithe ar mhaithe le todhchaí na muintire.

Pláig Níl aon chuimhneamh ag an Covid slán a fhágaint againn. Tá sí ag neartú arís. Anois caithfear an tríú instealladh a fháil. Aon duine ná fuair an dá stealladh agus a buaileadh le déanaí is baolach gur bhuail niumóine cuid acu. Tá cuid acu siúd básaithe na créatúirí. Nuair a fhaigheann an niúmóine duine lag, ionsaíonn sé an duine sin agus go minic maraíonn sé an duine sin. Is dóigh liom gur dheineas tagairt don gcladhaire, an níumóine seo cheanna. Tá an níumóine i bhfolach ins gach éinne ach ní éireódh sé chugat ach nuair a bheithfeá lag. Tabhair aire duit féin agus lean comhairle lucht leighis.

Ní thug Priomh-Aire na Brasaíle aon aird ar instealladh.Tá 600,000 básaithe á bharr agus an Príomh-Aire ruaigthe as a phost.

Caid.

Chaill Ciarraí Thiar fé cúig bliana déag in aghaidh réigiún Oilean Chiarraí ar an nDomhnach seo caite. N’fheadar ná go raibh seachtar ón nGaeltacht ar an bhfoireann.

Bás Fuair Denis Finn ó Bhaile Mhistéala bás an deireadh seachtaine seo caite. Bhí aos maith aige. Bhí Denis pósta le Siobhán [Josie] Ní Ghearailt ón mBóthar Buí agus iníon Denise acu. Bhí Josie ag múineadh scoile i mBaile Mhistéala.

Bhí Denis bainteach le Marglainn Chorcaí agus blianta ó shoin bhíodh sé ina cheanntálaí i Marglann an Daingin rud a thugadh caoi dhó bualadh siar dtí an mBóthar Buí, go minic. Bhí a dheirfiúr Nellie Uí Sheachnasaigh básaithe roimhis. Gan dabht bhí an- athne agam air, fear séimh soineanta macánta. Tá sé curtha i Reilig Mhuire gan Pheaca i Mainistir Mhistéala.

Solas siorraí na bhFlathas ag a anam caoin.

Fuair Patrick [Páicí] Curran ó Bhóthar an Ghoirín an Daingean bás an deireadh seachtaine seo caite. Fear socair deisbhéalach. Méala mór dá dheirféaracha, Máire, Áine, Nóra agus deartháir Gerry. Adhlacadh é Reilig

Fear b’ea Páicí mheasfá a bhí coitianta sásta. In Iothlainn Dé go raibh a anam.

Brendan Kennelly, Béal Átha Longfoirt file eáchtach, Ollamh agus fear muinteartha. Bhí aithne mhaith agam air. Bhí sé lán do chleachta agus spóirt. Bhuaidh sé craobh caide Éireann mionúr agus dearthair do Cholm a imir le sinsir Chiarraí a ghnóthaigh bonn sinsir caide Éireann agus a bhí ina innealltóir contae i gCiarraí. Bhí aithne ag an saol fodhlach agus anonn thar bóchma ar Bhrendan. Mairfidh a n-ainmneacha go bráth gan trácht ar na ceoltóirí cáiliúla Tony McMahon agus Paddy Moloney, beirt cheoltóir a bhí thar barr. Braithfear uainn iad, maraon le Máire Mac ‘n tSaoi agus Brendan Kennelly Ar dheis Dé a gcaoin anamacha.
