"what is told in the ear of a man is often heard 100 miles away" - Chinese Proverbtowntalk

Editor’s View

SPRING has sprung in earnest and the cal-endar of local events, always appetising in

its own right, has been seasoned with a distinct flavour of the General Election to come.The annual pancake morning held by the Killarney Soroptimist Club is a case in point. It may have been cold outside but excitement boiled to fever pitch in the Killarney Avenue Hotel on Shrove Tuesday as the venue played host to the eagerly anticipated charity event, which became something of a central attraction on the political front, as Mícheál Martin made an impromptu appearance. The arrival of the Fianna Fáil leader, surrounded by a smiling phalanx of local candidates and supporters, and trailing camera crews in his wake, certainly caused a stir at the fundraiser.

Just days before, another charity event took centre stage, as the second an-nual Strictly Come Dancing Killarney mesmerised a capacity audience at the INEC, raising much-needed cash for the Killarney and South Kerry Branch of the Irish Cancer Society in the process. See our coverage of all the above and more, including the second of our two-part election special, in this week’s edi-tion. Stay up to date with all the latest local news in this, our print edition, and via our website, killarneyadvertiser.ieAs always, we welcome your views, so get in touch.

Candidates Hit The Campaign Trails

KILLARNEY ROTARY CLUB was hitting all the right notes on Wednesday in advance of its 16th Young Musician of the Year competition and concert.

The event, held in association with Killarney Advertiser, offers rising stars of the musical world an unrivalled opportunity to showcase their talents.

The contest takes place in the Kerry Diocesan Youth Service centre, Fair Hill, Killarney, on Friday, March 4, and Saturday, March 5, with the final-night concert being staged in the nearby Franciscan Friary on Saturday, March 5, at 8pm.

“As always the event is proving hugely popular and we have had approximately 150 entries this year,” said Killarney Rotary President John O’Sullivan at the launch in The Malton. “Everyone is welcome to the concert in the Franciscan Friary on Saturday, March 5.”

The Killarney Rotary Young Musician of the Year competition has contributed hugely to raising the standards of classical music performance in the county over the years, said organiser Sean Treacy of Killarney Rotary Club. “The objective of the competition is to create a forum for schoolgoing musicians of all standards to perform in public in their chosen discipline,” said Sean. It was Sean and his fellow Rotarian Barry Murphy who first established the contest in 2001. “Not only does it give young people the opportunity to perform alongside their peers, but the contest also opens up

Rotary Tunes Up For Young Musician Contest And Concert

new avenues for showcasing their talents,” said Barry.

Killarney Rotary president John O’Sullivan added: “We are delighted to welcome Killarney Advertiser as media partner and trophies sponsor for the third consecutive year.”

The overall winner of the 2015 event was singer Megan O’Neill,

who competed in the over-16 voice category in the prestigious event.

Meanwhile, talented young Killarney pianist Jack McCrohan was the first winner of the James Gleeson Memorial Trophy at last year’s Killarney Rotary Young Musician competition.

Jack, nine, from Ross Road,

impressed all when he made a guest appearance at a Killarney Rotary lunch at The Malton Hotel a month later where he dazzled Rotarians and hotel guests alike with a virtuoso performance. James’s wife Grace and son Eoin presented the trophy in his memory.

Launching the Killarney Rotary Young Musician of the Year were, back, Eduard Schmidt-Zorner, John O'Mahony, Killarney Rotary President John O'Sullivan, Sean Treacy, Barry Murphy, James Tarrant and Angela O'Connor, front. Grace O'Neill, Ciara Irwin Foley and Paul Sherry.

Ring Of Kerry Charity Cycle Lottery Takes PlaceON TUESDAY evening, in the pres-ence of Sergeant Dermot O’Con-nell, Ring of Kerry Charity Cycle PRO Cathal Walshe, John Cleary of Eventmaster and Edel Hobbert of South West Counselling Centre the button was pushed to start the lottery selection process to select this year’s successful fundraising cyclists for the Ring of Kerry Charity Cycle 2016. With the lottery process com-plete, ROK Charity Cycle PRO Ca-thal Walshe gave a breakdown of what will happen next: “The 6,000 successful applicants from the lottery have now been fi-nalised, these individuals will receive a confirmation email on February 15.”Over the course of the next two days, each applicant will re-ceive a unique code in order to complete their registration, he added. “It is then the respon-

sibility of each in-dividual to com-p l e t e t h e i r regist ra-tion before midnight on Monday, February 22,” said Cathal. The Ring of Kerry Charity Cycle PRO reminded all applicants that failure to com-plete registration in this time-frame will result in the place being offered to another lottery applicant: “If any successful applicant should decide to not take up their place; this code will become null and void as of Tuesday February 23. This place will then be offered to anoth-er applicant.” The Ring of Kerry Charity Cycle 2016 will take place on July 2.

QuestionI need to get a medical procedure carried out. I have just found out that I can expect to wait over a year for the procedure in Ireland. Can I get my medical costs refunded if I travel to another country in Europe to have this procedure?

AnswerIf you are entitled to public health services that are available in Ireland, you can access these services in the European Economic Area (EEA). You will be repaid the cost if you meet the requirements. This is provided for by the Cross-Border Healthcare Directive. The Directive covers services that are publicly funded and available in Ireland. These include acute hospital services and community-based out-patient care. Other services covered include physiotherapy, ophthalmic, psychology, disability and mental health services. Occupational therapy services and dental and orthodontic services are also covered, but with some exceptions. Treatments that qualify for the Treatment Abroad Scheme (in general, treatments not available in Ireland) are not covered under the Cross-Border Healthcare Directive.You must be referred to the health service that you require abroad in the same way that you would be referred to public health services in Ireland. This referral may be by your GP (family doctor) or public hospital consultant for example. They may also be able to tell you whether the service you require is covered by the Directive. You can also check with the National Contact Point (details below).If the treatment involves an overnight stay in hospital, then it will need to be authorised in advance by the Health Service Executive (HSE). For other treatments, you should check whether prior authorisation is required. You pay the costs of treatment and then apply for a refund when you return to Ireland. The amount repaid is the amount that the treatment would cost in Ireland or the cost of your treatment abroad if that is less. It does not include other costs such as travel. The HSE has published refund amounts for different treatments. To get a refund of treatment costs, you and your healthcare provider abroad must complete a HSE form. You then submit it with the healthcare provider invoice and receipt.For information about prior authorisation, applying for a refund, or for any other queries contact: National Contact Point, Cross-Border Healthcare Directive Department, St Canice's Hospital, Dublin Road, Kilkenny, Telephone (056) 778 4546, Email: [email protected].

I’M a mother of two kids. I was working but I got post-natal depression and I was unable to continue it. Then when I got over the depression there were no jobs to be had. I’m on lone parent’s allowance so money is tight. I started to build up debt with the credit union and an overdraft, but I couldn’t make the payments. For a good few years I really wor-ried about money. And when the letters started to come through the door, I had complete apathy because I didn’t have anything to give. But I knew I couldn’t go on like this forever, so I spoke to MABS and they put me in touch with an Approved Intermedi-ary. Although the process was slow, it was explained clearly to me and they suggested a DRN. While I was waiting for it to be approved, I kept thinking about the solution, wondering would it actually happen, or would they be looking for something else. I live in a council house. I

don’t have anything else. When I got the call to say it was approved, I felt absolute relief. All the weight just lifted off me. Now I know what’s what for the next three years. There are no letters or messages now. And things may change in three years time. If jobs pick up I hope to get back working. I’d recom-mend ISI and an Approved In-termediary to anyone. I couldn’t believe the amount of help that was out there. I found them to be brilliant. They both gave good, steady advice and set my mind at ease. My 13-year old-son knew something was wrong before, so I was able to tell him, “There’s a plan!” Now he’s an awful lot happier. All I’d say is, if you’re struggling with debt, take a deep breath and get in touch with those who can help. Debt should never become a worry and if it is, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

IF YOU think you may qualify for a Debt Relief Notice (DRN), talk to an Approved Intermediary (AI) by con-tacting MABS.Other debt solutions include a Debt Settlement Arrangement (DSA) or a Personal Insolvency Arrangement (PIA); get advice from a Personal In-solvency Practitioner (PIP)

You can find a list of AIs and PIPs on the Insolvency Service of Ireland (ISI) website [email protected] If the above solutions are unsuitable, you should consider Bankruptcy as a solution to dealing with your debt.For more information, go to the ISI website: www.isi.gov.ie or www.backontrack.ie

DEBT SOLUTIONS/INSOLVENCY OPTIONSJerry Doyle, co-ordinator, Kerry Money Advice & Budgeting Service (MABS), has some tips on coping with debt and insolvency

The MABS website www.mabs.ie and the MABS helpline on 0761 07 2000, provide information and guidance on all aspects of dealing with personal debt. Information on statutory debt resolution options can be found on the Insolvency Service of Ireland’s website www.isi.gov.ie

The Money Advice and Budgeting service is particularly well placed to assist people in over indebted situations. MABS, as well as being a free service, is independent, confidential and non-judgemental.

Donna’s storyCASE STUDY

I’M A widow, living alone. I was working but I have ill health, so I had been out of work sick when there were redundancies, and I was one of the people let go. I had credit union and credit card debt of about €19,000. This debt, plus the expense of the hospital visits, scans and tests put me under real financial pressure. For almost five years I’d been struggling to sort things out. Even just trying to deal with everyday bills was a problem. My sisters didn’t know. I didn’t want them to know. I had been going to MABS for a few years and they did a budget for me, but I still couldn’t manage to pay all my bills. I got into a terrible state, I was stressed and in a very bad place. I heard about DRNs on the radio and thought it might be an op-tion for me. I spoke to my MABS person and they put me in con-tact with an Approved Intermediary. I was very nervous about my first meeting but it went very well. She explained every word I didn’t know and talked me through the process clearly. When I got the phone call to say my DRN had been approved, I imme-diately felt calm. I just sat on the chair…right back into it. I felt light. It’s like a big black cloud has lifted from you. I was so glad I didn’t have to go to court. I put my two hands together and said, “Thanks be to God”. Then I made a cup of tea. I was so relieved I was almost crying. In fact, I did cry a tear. The sort of person I am, I bundle things up inside and I think I can deal with it myself. On the outside I was on automatic pilot. I was afraid I would meet people and they would know what was going on. My advice to anyone out there with money difficulties? Stop sitting worrying. Get up and go to MABS or ISI. Ask them for advice. Ask them about debt relief. Already I feel more at ease, I have more energy and my health is improving. It’s made an unbelievable difference to my life.

KILLARNEY GARDA STATION has be-come the first station in Ireland to fly the coveted Purple Flag.

The flag is international recognition of towns and cities that are safe and appealing to visitors after dark.

The flag was hoisted at the garda station last Friday evening and it is hoped the town will retain the prestigious award this year.

The Purple Flag is the international gold standard for night-time management of the economy and a

safe and friendly environment from 5pm to 5am.

“Like the Blue Flag for beaches, places that meet the standard can fly the flag,” said Paul O’Neill, chairperson of Killarney’s Purple Flag Committee.

“It recognises excellence in the management of the evening and night-time economy and a safe and friendly environment in which to live, socialise and work.”

Supt Flor Murphy said the award was a recognition of the

commitment there was to safety and the sense of security in one of the country’s busiest tourist destinations.

Killarney achieved the award in 2014 and is now going for three in a row. “In 2016, Purple Flag assessors will again visit Killarney to conduct a full renewal assessment,” said Paul.

Killarney’s Purple Flag working group is led by the Killarney Chamber of Tourism & Commerce which will be working with the

Killarney Municipal District as well as the Gardaí and local businesses, groups and schools to ensure the accolade is retained in Killarney. “It is vitally important that Killarney retains its Purple Flag because the symbol is becoming widely known in the tourism industry as a major international brand,” said Paul.

The award is presented by a team of international assessors. A record number of 10 cities and towns in the Republic of Ireland received the award last year.

Usher’s Island To Perform At Gathering Traditional Festival

TRIBUTES FLOW FOLLOWING TRAGIC DEATH ON MOUNTAIN ThE family of Kerry woman Mary Cotter paid poignant tribute to her work as a midwife by asking that those attending her funeral make a donation to stillbirth and neonatal support group Féileacáin instead of leaving flowers.The mother of three died tragically while walking with a group of hilllwalkers on the Stradbally Mountain on Sunday af-ternoon.

KENMARE MART entered the record books on Monday as it broke the world record of the number of pink hats worn at a mart.

Looking pretty in pink, the crowd, including the mart manager, Councillor Dan McCarthy, and members of Templenoe GAA Club,

newly crowned All-Ireland Junior Football Champions, entered the record books in aid of Recovery Haven, Kerry Cancer Support.

The pink hats were sponsored by Dairymaster. The total tally was 517 hats.





AN IMPRESSIVE €2,100 was generated for the Kerry-Cork Health Link Bus by hardy walkers who braved an exceptionally cold and wet day to take a brisk 5k stroll, at their own pace, for the cause.

The Killarney Valley Classic and Vintage Club organised the now annual event on December 27 last and the proceeds from the fundraiser were presented to the chosen charity this week.

There was a great turnout of over 145 adult participants – as well as children – who walked from the Killarney Valley Hotel through the Fossa Way and on to Knockreer. On their return to the Killarney Valley, they availed of refreshments and enjoyed a traditional music session as well as a raffle with some great spot prizes on offer.

Breda Dyland, spokesperson for Kerry-Cork Health Link Bus, thanked the club for its continued support. “This money really helps in the running of our services,” she said. “The dispersed nature of the healthcare system means that many of our service users have to struggle with the public transport system to attend their hospital appointments.

“Many hospitals are not well served by public transport and the nature of their treatment means that patients often have to attend for therapy every day sometimes for up to eight weeks when they can be physically tired and unwell.

“With the best will in the world, it can be difficult for family members to help due to work and other commitments. This is where we come in and deliver them to the door, free of charge to our users."

Killarney Valley Classic and Vintage spokesman Paul O’Shea thanked all the participants, spot prize sponsors, Killarney School of Music, Killarney Valley Hotel and Mick Myers for the tremendous effort he put in to ensure the smooth running of the event.

Walkers Set The Pace To Raise Cash For Charity





THERE WAS a full house on Shrove Tuesday at Killarney Avenue Hotel for the Killarney Soroptimist Club’s annual pancake and coffee morning.

As MC Theresa Irwin of Killarney Soroptimists welcomed all guests to the event, she revealed that a particularly famous guest was attending, with Fianna Fáil leader Mícheál Martin making his way through the function room to meet, greet and address all present.

The pancake morning, which has been taking place for 11 years now, is the group’s main annual fundraiser.

And as the last remnants of Storm Imogen made their drizzly presence felt outside, ladies and gents attending enjoyed the super-relaxing morning get-together.

A raffle and auction added to the excitement, with all proceeds going to local charities and causes.

The ladies organisation, part of an international network, was established over 50 years ago in Killarney as a social and professional network for women in the professions and business. “It has raised tens of thousands of euro for local and international charities in its history,” said president Noeleen O’Sullivan.

This year the designated charities for the annual pancake morning are the Kerry/Cork Health Link bus, the Order of Malta, and the Southwest Counselling Centre. The Church of Ireland Killarney will also receive money for the expensive repairs to its stained glass window as will Mary O’Leary who is going to Nepal to undertake charity work.

CIVIC-SPIRITED volunteers from Kerry Citizens Infor-mation Centres were honoured at a recent awards ceremony for five and ten years’ service to their community.

Board member Billy Mullins and Manager Frances Clifford presented awards to Maureen Long, May McCarthy and Donough Spillane from Killarney Citizens Information Centre (CIC), Monica Fitzell from Tralee CIC, Denis Lane from Listowel CIC, for 5 and 10 years’ service.

“The camaraderie of working within a welcoming team of like-minded people, the challenge of learning new information and the sense of doing something which is of value to the community are some of the reasons why I volunteer with Citizens Information in Kerry,” said Maureen Long.

Frances Clifford added: “We are very proud of the fact that a lot of people volunteer with us for many years. Volunteers contribute so positively on so many levels. We are very appreciative of the time they selflessly give to assisting others. We simply could not provide the service without them.”

Volunteers are a key part of the service and work along with a small number of paid staff to deliver information, advise and advocacy to the community. All information providers receive extensive and continuous training to enable them to give up-to-date and accurate information to the public.

Those who have used the service have commented that without the professional support of the Citizens Information team they would not have been able to access their rights or deal with the issues which were paramount to them. Last year Kerry CIS responded to over 19,000 callers and over 26,000 queries.

At present Kerry CIS is seeking to recruit new volunteers to join their existing teams across the county. Anyone interested should contact 0761 07 7860 or email [email protected] and ask for an application form and additional information. You can contact Killarney CIC on 0761 07 7820 or email [email protected]

election 2016

‘We know that Jackie Healy-Rae is with us in spirit and urging us to leave no stone unturned’

THE Healy-Rae dynasty is to run a second can-didate in Kerry, as Councillor Danny Healy-Rae confirmed he is to run alongside his brother, In-dependent TD Michael.

Their father Jackie was elected to the Dáil for Kerry South in 1997.

Michael took over in 2011 and is a strong favourite to retain his seat.

Just minutes before the deadline at noon, the Independent county councillor, representing the Killarney Municipal District, submitted his nomination papers in Tralee to contest the February 26 election.

He became the 16th candidate to run in the constituency.

The brothers said it had been a “joint decision” for them both to run.

Cllr Danny Healy-Rae represents the Killarney electoral area on Kerry County Council.

He was further persuaded to run for the sake of Killarney and east Kerry, now that Deputy Tom Fleming has withdrawn from the race as there is now no sitting councillor or TD running in the area. “Both Michael and I know that Jackie Healy-Rae is with us in spirit and urging us to leave no stone unturned,” said Cllr Healy-Rae.

“Going back over 40 years the Healy-Raes have given tremendous service to the people of South Kerry and we feel that we want to continue and enhance this service by having two members of the family representing the people in Dáil Éireann. We are urging people to vote number one for me in the Killarney electoral area and give their number-two preference to Michael. Likewise we’re asking that the people of the Killorglin, Dingle, Tralee and Listowel areas give their number one to Michael and number two to me.”

InDEPEnDEnT TD for Kerry South Tom Fleming last Friday an-nounced he is not contesting the election. Scartaglin-based Mr Fleming said the redrawing of the Kerry constituency from two three-seaters into one five-seater had put him at a disadvantage.Mr Fleming, who was due to stand under the Independent alliance, was first elected to the Dáil in 2011, having twice failed to be elected as a Fianna Fáil candidate. He was a long-time member of the party, and had served as a party councillor from 1985 to 2011.Mr Fleming said he had given the matter some thought over Christmas and had discussed it with his wife Lena and family. “after 30 years as a public representative it was a great honour and privilege to serve the Killarney electoral area as

a county councillor and to be elected by the constituents of South Kerry to Dáil Éireann in 2011,” said Deputy Fleming. “I sincerely thank the electorate to have me continuously repre-senting them since 1985.”His political colleagues were vociferous in paying tribute to the popular TD. The many wishing him well on his retirement were Fianna Fail leader Micheal Martin, Minis-ter Jimmy Deenihan, Fine Gael, Deputy Brendan Griffin, Fine Gael, and Deputy Martin Ferris, Sinn Fein. "I can earnestly say that Tom Fleming is the nicest and most genuine person that I have ever met in politics. It is often said that nice guys don't succeed in politics but thankfully Tom has proven this to be entirely wrong,” said Deputy Griffin.

Killarney Sports & Leisure Centre.

Killarney Sports & Leisure Centre Chosen To Host Count

THE election count for the new single constituency of Kerry will be held in Killarney Sports & Leisure Centre.

Centre manager Helena Hammond welcomed the news, saying: “Killarney Sports & Leisure Centre are delighted to have been

chosen to hold the Election Count on February 27 and 28.

“We will be closed for normal business that weekend and would like to thank all our regular members and customers for their support and understanding.”

Ms Hammond added: “The

staff and I would like to wish the candidates all the very best in their endeavours and we look forward to welcoming you all in two weeks’ time.”

This is the first time Kerry has been united as a single constituency since 1937.

In recent weeks, before the election had even been called and a venue selected, some councillors had felt the count should take place in the county town Tralee, while others had wanted it to be held in Listowel.

Campaigning Since 1960HE’S 86 years young and Jackie Foley from Keel, Castlemaine, helped get the campaign of his local candidate, Fine Gael TD Brendan Griffin, off to a fine start. Jackie, who has been involved in election campaigns since 1960 with various candidates, relishes the election challenge and plans to spend many more evenings on the hustings until the end of this month.

'Appreciate Our Country, Serve It Wholeheartedly, Cast Your Vote’THE Bishop of Kerry, Ray Browne, has urged everyone to cast their vote in the upcoming general eleciton.Bishop Ray said: “a general election is a unique event in the life of any country. The excitement and the hustle and bustle will be with us over the next few weeks until Election Day.” It is good for our democracy that so many people participate in the cam-paign, added Bishop Browne. “Each makes a contribution to the strength of our democracy. Best wishes to every election candidate. I urge every-one to cast their vote,” he said. “I express my appreciation and gratitude to all TDs and Senators for their service over the past five years. When they were elected the country was in great difficulty.” all the elected representatives in the 31st Dáil and Seanad have played their part in bringing about the welcome recovery, added the Bishop. “Thankfully a measure of hope and confidence has returned and the country is in a better place today. It is not easy for our representatives having to constantly commute to Dublin. We appreciate their service,” he said. “Nationwide there is a realisation that there is no room for complacency. There are many great needs and challenges still to be faced: the inad-equacy of some services in our hospitals and disability facilities; signif-icantly reduced pay levels being offered to many; young couples about to marry and young couples with children unable to finance the renting or purchase of a home; child poverty, homelessness, unemployment and high crime levels. Each day we hear people describe so vividly other ur-gent needs.” The Bishop of Kerry added that a healthly country is one in which there is a basic civic spirit of care for all fellow citizens, especially the sick, the poor and the vulnerable. “This is our Christian desire for Ireland. Draw strength from the example of all those who have served our country so well in the hundred years since the 1916 Easter Rising which we com-memorate this year,” he said.

ProfileBrendan Griffin, TD, has been mar-ried to Róisín since 2009.

As Minister of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht from March 2011 to July 2014, he was based in Government buildings in New Road. “During this period I worked very closely with Killarney Chamber of Tourism & Com-merce, the Trustees of Muckross House and other local organisations on various initia-tives such as the restoration of Killarney House, the Schoolhouse project in the Nation-al Park and the Lough Leane trail,” said Minister Deenihan. “As Minister for Diaspora Affairs I also organised a special corporate event to coincide with the Ring of Kerry Charity Cycle in 2015, which attracted people from all over the world.”

I want the opportunity to continue to work for the people of Kerry as your local TD and the father of a young family.

election 2016


MARY FITZGIBBON Independent

ProfileMary Fitzgibbon is an indepen-dent candidate (female non-gender quota) who was born and raised in Tralee. Her husband Michael is from Derry and they have five children. Mary works as a lecturer in Nursing and Health Care Studies at the Institute of Technology, Tralee. “We live in Ballymacelligott with our cat and five hens,” she said.

PrioritiesMary feels many are “disillusioned and distrustful of politi-cians who have broken election promises”. “Many of us are worse off in terms of income and employment than in 2011 not to mention a decade ago in 2006. Families in particular have been hardest hit, many are working in the public sector, many are self-employed or working in small to medium-sized enterprises,” she said. Priorities include a socially just society where people are at the centre, where it pays to work, where vital services deliver in terms of health, education and law enforcement, ensuring people can live without fear in their urban and rural commu-nities. “It’s time to abolish unjust taxes, the USC, property tax and water charges,” said Mary. “It's time to stand up for integrity in political life, to protect life equality by upholding constitutional protection for the unborn, and it's time to support the family.”

GRACE O’DONNELLFine GaelProfileFormer Mayor of Tralee and town councillor, Grace O’Donnell has an exceptionally strong record in the voluntary sector. She is co-founder Kare4Kids (supports families with sick chil-dren); The Recovery Haven (Cancer Support); Kerry Life Skills (Future health and wellbeing of children), Tralee Rotary Club, the Kerry Camino (Promotes Kerry walks), Tralee Chamber Alliance, and Kerry Film Festival.

PrioritiesThe biggest source of inequality and unfairness in this country is unemployment, says Grace. “More jobs mean less tax for people working and more revenue to pro-vide better services,” she said. “This Fine Gael-led Government has added 125,000 jobs since the launch of the Action Plan for Jobs in February 2012. Jobs are the best way out of poverty. Budget 2016 is proof positive that Fine Gael is committed to securing and spreading the recovery. The USC has been cut and 700,000 people removed from charge. The Government has begun to equalise the tax treatment of the self-employed. There are measures to help families with childcare and GP visits for under-12s. The minimum wage has been increased and there is hep for pensioners. The budget helps farming families and entrepreneurs. Fine Gael is doing its very best to spread the ben-efits of recovery to as many homes as possible.”

KEVIN MURPHY Independent ProfileKevin Murphy is a local community activist in Kerry. An active member of the Right2Water Killarney and Right-2Water Kerry community, this is Kevin’s first time running for election. “I am a supporter of the Right2Change policy princi-ples, these principles were made up of over 90 submissions from trade unions, politicians and community activists,” he said. “I believe these principles are a foundation to build a recovery for all and a so-ciety for all. I have signed up to the National Women's Council of Ireland's election manifesto.”

PrioritiesKevin’s priorities include the abolition of water charges, the abolition of Irish Water, a referendum to enshrine ownership of the public supply to the people through the Con-stitution, progressive taxation to pay for the upgrade and repair of the supply, through work done by county councils, increased investment in Kerry General Hospital, devel-opment of mental health services and reform of the health service, investment in car-ers and special needs assistants, affordable childcare, housing, jobs, income equality, protection of rural Ireland, strengthening of credit unions, protection of farmers and their livelihoods, increased investment in rural areas to create jobs, the re-opening of Garda Stations, development of infrastructures such as transport, telecommunications and housing, and political reform.

HENRY GAYNOR Independent

ProfileHenry Gaynor, 52, hails from The Spa, about 6km outside Tralee on the Fenit road. Henry is married, with two children going to second-ary school. Born and raised on a small farm, he has worked for the past 30 years at the Kerry Group factory in Listowel as a services op-erator. “I have therefore, a good knowledge of the problems endured by employed people, families, and small farmers since the recession began,” he said.

PrioritiesHenry’s main ambition is to see all taxpayers (be they em-ployed, self-employed, business people, farmers, fishermen, home makers, retired people) united into one political group. “By forming a single voting bloc, taxpayers would be able to form their own government and run the country in the inter-ests of the people who live in it,” he said.

Council issues poster warningKERRY COUNTY COUNCIL is asking candidates and political parties to refrain from placing posters for the general election on road traffic signs or poles as well as overhead bridges. Posters should not obstruct sight lines for motorists and the view of motorists or present a traffic hazard.

election 2016



NORMA MORIARTY Fianna Fáil ProfileA MEMBER of Kerry County Council, Norma Moriarty lives in Waterville and works as a teacher in Kenmare where she teaches English and co-ordinates learning support. Cllr Mori-arty has been involved at all levels in her community over a 20-year period. “I was elected to KCC in May 2014 and since then I have been appointed to the Board of Kerry Education and Training Board, Local Traveller Ac-commodation Consultative Committee and I am chairperson of the Local Community Development Committee,” she said. “I have been on our community development organisation for 15 years during which time an early years centre was founded and a new water treatment facility was finally secured for the area. Numerous festivals and events were also started with a view to promoting business and tourism.”

PrioritiesCouncillor Moriarty says she deems it a privilege to live in this county. “I believe that we need to work together and immediately if we are to ensure the survival of our rural and urban areas,” she said. “The worrying decline in our population in rural areas has and will continue to adversely affect the economic and social life of all areas. Towns need a vibrant hinterland to ensure their own sustainability.”

MICHAEL “PIXIE” O’GORMAN Independent

ProfileRunning as an independent candi-date, Michael “Pixie” O’Gorman pledges to be “a voice for the people of Kerry, not a political party in Dublin”. “Policies not politics is what we need,” said Michael. He added: “In the last two years I have been more outspoken than any TD from Ker-ry on subjects of the bank bailout, the Anglo debt, the sale of Coillte Forest, and the setup of Irish Water for the privatiza-tion of our water supply.”

PrioritiesPeople on the ground are dealing with food poverty, eviction, housing crises, homelessness, a health system falling apart, trolleys in hallways, mental health and waiting lists to see doctors, rural crime, and water charges, says Michael “Pixie” O’Gorman. “These are just the basic human needs we as a so-ciety should aim for all the people of Ireland, food, housing, water and safety in our homes. The government’s answers are mobile homes, food banks, soup kitchens and a few fast police cars,” he said. The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership be-tween the US and Europe is a big campaign issue for Michael. DANNY HEALY-RAE

IndependentProfileDanny Healy-Rae represents the Killarney electoral area on Kerry County Council. He received 4,388 first preference votes, more than twice the quota, in the last local elections in 2014. Councillor Healy-Rae handed in his nomination papers just minutes before the noon deadline yesterday, accompa-nied by his brother, TD Michael Healy-Rae. The two brothers said it had been a joint decision for them both to run. Michael Healy-Rae has been an Independent TD for Kerry South since he took over from their father, Jackie Healy-Rae, at the 2011 general election when he won the third seat in the constituency. “Both of know that Jackie Healy-Rae is with us in spirit and urging us to leave no stone un-turned,” said Danny.

PrioritiesCouncillor Danny Healy-Rae notes that the Healy-Rae priority is “the people we repre-sent”. He is determined to continue the Healy-Raes’ record of service stretching back over four decades. “We feel that we want to continue and enhance this service by hav-ing two members of the family representing the people in Dáil Éireann. We are urging people to vote number one for me in the Killarney electoral area and give their num-ber-two preference to Michael. Likewise we’re asking that the people of the Killorglin, Dingle, Tralee and Listowel areas give their number one to Michael and number two to me,” he said.

KERRY CONSTITUENCYSeats: 5Population: 145,502

THERE will be 16 candidates in the new five-seater Kerry con-stituency which has replaced the previous three-seaters of Ker-ry North and Kerry South – and it’s very hard to make a call on the new configuration.The Civil War defined politics in Kerry for decades, with Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael dominant. From the 1940s, a strong Labour presence was maintained by the Spring dynasty in Kerry North and the Moynihan dynasty in Kerry South. Sinn Féin came to the fore as a strong electoral player when Martin Ferris took a seat in Kerry North in 2002. Nowadays politics in Kerry is mainly defined by economic is-sues.In the last election, Fianna Fáil found itself with no seat in Kerry. In Kerry North-Limerick West, Tom McEllistrim, whose grandfather and father, both also named Tom, had served in the Dáil, lost his seat.Fine Gael’s Jimmy Deenihan, currently Minister of State for the Diaspora, broke a local party record when he secured 41% of the vote and comfortably held his seat. Sinn Féin’s Martin Ferris retained his seat.Arthur Spring, whose uncle Dick, a former Labour leader and Tánaiste, and grandfather, Dan, represented the constituency, won back the Labour seat and nearly doubled the vote the party secured in 2007. In Kerry South, Fianna Fáil’s John O’Donoghue, who had resigned as Ceann Comhairle in a controversy over ex-penses, lost his seat to a former party colleague, Independent Tom Fleming. Fine Gael’s Tom Sheahan lost out to party col-league Brendan Griffin, while Independent Michael Healy-Rae succeeded his father, Jackie.

it’s BeeN a while since we introduced a full new range of wines here at Car-ryout. While we have new additions to our current range every few weeks or some wines that we will get in and when they sell through they are not necessarily replaced. availing of once-off deals on the inter-national markets allows us to pick up good quality wines at great prices which we can then pass on to you.

Committing to a full new range, though, requires a certain amount of investment and that, in turn, requires absolute con-fidence in the wine’s quality. McPher-son wines are one of the top producers in the australian state of Victoria. only established in 1968, this fam-ily run business is rightly proud of their bespoke and niche wines such as the Moonstruck/sunburnt combina-tion €14.99) which i tasted last week.

sourced from premium grape grow-ing regions in Victoria, Moonstruck is hand-crafted with grapes gathered in the still of the night - and have been made with food in mind.and released for the first time in 2015, sunburnt is made for those who love to enjoy the warmth of the sun and the chill of a great australian wine in equal measure.

CUPID’S ARROW ON TARGET FORVALENTINE’S

AS WE get ready for this Val-entine’s Weekend in Killarney let’s cast our mind back to the roots of the celebration.Valentine's Day, also known as Saint Valentine's Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine, is observed on February 14 each year. St Valentine's Day be-gan as a liturgical celebration of one or more early Christian saints named Valentinus. Sev-eral martyrdom stories were invented for the various Val-entines that belonged to Feb-ruary 14, and added to later martyrologies. A popular hagiographical ac-count of Saint Valentine of Rome states that he was im-prisoned for performing wed-dings for soldiers who were forbidden to marry and for ministering to Christians, who were persecuted under the Ro-man Empire. According to leg-end, during his imprisonment, he healed the daughter of his jailer, Asterius. An embellish-ment to this story states that before his execution he wrote her a letter signed "Your Val-entine" as a farewell. The day was first associated with romantic love in the cir-cle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, and in 18th-century England, it evolved into an occasion in which lovers expressed their love for each other by present-ing flowers, offering confec-tionery, and sending greeting cards (known as "valentines"). Killarney businesses offering Valentine’s specials include the Killarney Plaza Bar & Grill, Jam, Danu at The Brehon, and the Killarney Royal Hotel.

GOOSEBUMPSUPSET about moving from a big city to a small town, teenager Zach Cooper (Dylan Minnette) finds a silver lining when he meets the beautiful girl, Hannah (Odeya Rush), living right next door. But every silver lining has a cloud, and Zach's comes when he learns that Hannah has a mysterious dad who is revealed to be RL Stine (Jack Black), the author of the bestselling Goosebumps series. It turns out that there is a reason why Stine is so strange... he is a prisoner of his own imagina-tion - the monsters that his books made famous are real, and Stine protects his readers by keeping them locked up in their books. When Zach unintentionally unleashes the monsters from their manuscripts and they begin to terrorize the town, it's suddenly up to Stine, Zach, and Hannah to get all of them back in the books where they belong.

She has words of advice for those fast approach-ing 50. And she's here to tell you the secret, secret truth about writers – well, this one anyway. You'll be wincing in recognition and scratching your head in incredulity, but like Marian herself you won't be able to stop laughing at the sheer delightful absurdity that is modern life – because each and every one of us is clearly mak-ing it up as we go along.

lIfe tHroUGH tHelenS of tHe GoSPelSlUKe 4:1-13: the temptations were a step for Jesus in his growing under-standing of his mission and of his relationship with his father. Can you look back at some painful experiences and acknowledge that you have grown through them, both in your knowledge of yourself, and in your relationship with God? Give thanks for the guidance of the Spirit of God in these times.Behind each of the temptations is a basic temptation to lose trust in God. Jesus resisted this because he recognised his complete dependence on his father. How have you come to recognise your dependence on God?one can enter into each of the temptations singly. there may be ones that you have experienced: the temptation to give priority to bodily needs and satisfactions; the temptation to power; the temptation to seek to be the cen-tre of attention.How have you grown through wrestling with these temptations?

John byrne OSA

mUSInGSaS We begin our journey through lent, it is, perhaps worth reminding our-selves of the cautionary words of the sixth-century monk, Gildas, who crit-icised the misplaced zeal of some monks who preferred “fasting to charity, vigils to justice, their own contrivances to concord, severity to humility and, finally, man to God”. These things, when cut off from their roots in love, are worthless. the late dominican theologian Herbert mcCabe was fond of stat-ing that the central doctrine of Christianity is that “if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you”.

Salvador RyanSt patrick’s College, Maynooth

tHe deeP end tHe temptations are not just an embarrassing episode in the life of Jesus but are an integral part of his mission. Jesus is tempted to eat when he is not supposed to eat, to take the easy route of power through exploitation, when that is not His way. Ultimately, God is in control here; this wilderness is “Spirit” led. And so it is for us. When it comes down to it, each of the temp-tations are about the same thing, our ability to trust in God. this should not direct us towards complacency but to listening.We listen to God’s Word and this year’s trócaire campaign is urging us to listen to what God is saying through the Book of Creation; to trust in those signals and signs. listening to the story of teresina this year, we hear of an effect of climate change that is often overlooked: a family forced apart be-cause of dry land. this past year we have seen large movements of refugees around the world. We know that the next generation of refugees will be cli-mate refugees. It does not have to be this way. As we enter the “wilderness” of lent, let us spend time with the temptations in the Gospel today and hear the call to “trust”. Trust what God is trying to tell us through the Book of Creation. It is in the wasteland that we find the signs of God’s renewal. In the words of Pope francis in laudato Si: “I urgently appeal for a new dialogue about how we are shaping the future of our planet. We need a con-versation which includes everyone, since the environmental challenge we are undergoing, and its human roots, concern and affect us all.”

Killarney Toning & Beauty Studio is hosting its ever-popular annual Losing It: Inch/Weight-Loss competition. Here Jill Duggan explains how toning tables can help you streamline your body

IT’S best to include exercise and diet to get the best results. We offer a free trial on our toning tables, so you have no excuse. If you not are a gym person these are great or if you find it hard to stick to a class timetable, the toning tables are ideal for you as we allow you to come at a time that suits you. As we ladies know we have busy schedules and usually everyone else comes first. In our toning studio we

allow you attend at a time that suits you and un-derstand every week is

different. We recom-mend two or three visits a week for

best results.

Also rather than try-ing ev-ery new diet fad,

c r e a t e your own

plan that will fit your lifestyle. You need to cut out only 150 calories a day to lose 15 pounds in a year, so start small.Little changes to your current eating style, like downsizing portions or pre-paring foods differently, can add up to big results. Think about the foods you can — and can't — live without, then try to work your diet around them. Love choco-late? Have a small piece every day. If you're a born snacker, divide your dai-ly calories into six or seven mini meals so you always feel like you're having a nibble. Whatever you do, don't give up your favourite foods. You'll inevitably feel deprived, which will only make your cravings stronger — and your willpower weaker.Call to book a free trial now, of this week avail of our sale. Buy one course and get a second course absolutely free. Call 064-6632966.

DON’T FORGET LOLLIPOP DAYTHE Oesophageal Cancer Fund (OCF) needs your! With just two weeks to go until the 15th annual Lollipop Day, the OCF is calling for more volunteers in Kerry on Friday and Saturday, Febru-ary 26 and 27, to help raise vital funds for oesophageal cancer. Lollipop Day involves thousands of people selling lollipops (€2) nation-wide, in an effort to raise vital funds for oesophageal cancer. Without the gen-erosity and support from volunteers, the OCF would not be able to provide the vital role it does in terms of aware-ness, research and better outcomes for patients and their families with this cancer in Ireland. If you have a few hours to spare on February 26 and 27, pop down on your own or with friends, have some fun and help the OCF!“We are very fortunate to have an ever increasing number of dedicated volun-teers, all of whom make Lollipop Day possible and a success every year,” said Noelle Ryan, OCF chairperson. “But we still need more volunteers so if anyone or any group is interested in helping out, please contact us on wwwlollipop-day.ie.”

For more information on Lollipop Day, to volunteer, to make a donation, go to www.lollipopday.ie or to volunteer in Kerry call Anne on 086-4542713. Join the Lollipop Day Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/lollipop-day

We have created some beautiful designs on our Inspiration Gallery. All of the designs below can be altered to match your colour scheme and the wording is your choice.Can’t see something quite right?

Sinead O’Sullivan of The Invite Hub gives advice on a key element of your big day

Just a few words on wedding speeches WEDDING speeches can be nerve-wracking experiences, particularly if you tend to get anxious when asked to speak in front of a group of more than five people.But a little preparation can ensure that even shrinking violets will receive standing ovations on that big day. Delivery and content are crucial, wheth-er you need to say a few words as bride, groom, best man, bridesmaid, or parents of the couple. First of all, don’t be afraid to ask for help in composing a memorable and inspiring speech, but at the same time make sure it is personal enough for you to feel comfortable in your delivery. If oral presentations at school or college were the stuff of nightmares, then when confronted with delivering an address to a huge wedding audience you will need to take stock. The key, whether you are a seasoned speechmaker or a first-timer, is preparation – and plenty of it. Know your audience – and your subject matter. Try to avoid being too corny and be original wherever possible.

CAN you think of a more perfect place to hold your wedding celebrations than at a historic hotel set in beautiful surroundings? The Dromhall Hotel was originally a hunting lodge, used in times past by the aristocracy visit-ing the lakes and mountains; over 50 years ago, it was purchased by the Randles family and metamorphosed into the supremely elegant venue it is today.

The Randles family still run Dromhall Hotel and thus you are sure of not only gracious surroundings and superb service but also that personal touch which comes from family involvement. It has always been the Randles’ fam-ily mission to give every single visitor the individual attention that the hosts of a stately home would always offer to their guests, from fine dining to luxurious bedrooms, and always with a warmly smiling welcome.

The stunning banqueting suite, now completely renovated, has earned The Dromhall Hotel a place in Ireland’s top 100 wedding venues, as well as receiving more nominations than any other wedding location by brides of Real Weddings.

Both The Dromhall Hotel and its sister hotel the Randles Hotel are fully registered to provide civil ceremonies.

Their location is ideal too, of course: easy access, plenty of parking, and offering wonderful opportunities for memorable wedding pictures, not only outdoors but within the hotel itself (just check out the splendid staircase and imagine yourself standing there with the cameras flashing!).

Dromhall and Randles hotels are a dream come true for your wedding

The Dromhall Hotel and Randles Hotel are the perfect choice for your big day.

Advice on choosing your wedding venue YOUR wedding venue is one of the most important aspects of your big day, with some couples even planning their entire nuptials around a specific venue.

The first thing to take into account when choosing a wedding location is that there are likely to be two parts of your wedding to organise – the wedding ceremony and the wedding recep-tion. As regards the ceremony, a church wedding is still the favourite choice for many couples, and most have a particular church in mind.

In this case, the reception must be planned around the cer-emony location. Factors such as ease of transport from ser-vice to reception will be important when planning your church wedding.

Brides and grooms keen to exchange vows in a civil wedding have the option of choosing a venue that will host both the wedding ceremony and reception.

The type of wedding you have will depend partly on how big it will be, so consider the venue capacity.

TOP GEAR has dominated the motoring headlines since July last year after the sacking of Jeremy Clarkson for punching Irish show producer Oisin Tynan and the departure of his co-hosts James May and Richard Hammond.

The question on everyone’s mind since has been “who will be the hosts of the new season?” This week Top Gear has gone from a triumvirate of presenters to a full house, with the show confirming its final lineup of seven presenters this week. Last week, it was announced that actor Matt LeBlanc form Friends fame would be Top Gear's new co-host alongside British presenter Chris Evans.

The "magnificent seven from motoring heaven" as Evans has dubbed the new presenters, are designed to broaden Top Gear’s appeal. Commenting on his new team, he said: “A fellow lifelong petrolhead from the other side of the pond in Matt; a fearless speed-demon in the irrepressible and effervescent Sabine; the encyclopedic, funny and wonderfully colourful character that is EJ; Chris, one of the world’s top no-nonsense car reviewers; and Rory, who simply blew me away in his audition and fully deserves his place on the team.”

The new show is due to air this spring.

Top Gear's new lineup: the 'magnificentseven from motoring heaven’

The Magnificent Seven: Rory Reid, best known for Sky 1's Gadget Geeks se-ries, Sabine Schmtz, A professional German racing driver, Matt LeBlanc, Joey from Friends," Chris Evans, Chris Harris, motoring journalist, Ireland’s Eddie Jordan, former Formula One team owner, and the The Stig.

OUR local interest in the WRC continues this weekend as Kris Meeke and Paul Nagle are due to compete in Rally Sweden. Snow – or the lack of it – has been the major talking point ahead of this week's event. In the last number of days the event has being hanging in the balance but with weather fore-

casts are predicting an elev-enth-hour freeze, hopes are high that the event will see some proper winter weather soon. The current conditions have forced a re-jig of the pre-ral-ly itinerary. This event is billed as an all-snow event and some competitors are asking for the event to be cancelled if the con-

ditions remain.This event is important to Kris and Paul as they are not run-ning a full WRC programme this year and every event counts. The last outing in Rallye Monte Carlo showed great potential but for an unlucky encounter with a rock which put them out of the event while in second position.

FIA insists Rally Sweden is on

Rally Sweden’s iconic Colin’s Crest,unrecognis-able to many rally fans without snow.

Pollution Levels In Killarney A Worry For Kerry’s 14,000 Asthmatics

Funding For Pedestrian Crossing For Ballycasheen NSI WISH to inform parents and patrons of St Oliver’s National School, Ballycasheen, that I have allocated €4,000 of my councillor’s allocation to provide a con-trolled pedestrian crossing for St Oliver’s NS at Countess Road to enhance the safety of parents and pupils when crossing the road at drop-off and pick-up times.This controlled crossing will provide greater safety for both pupils and parents into the future.

Boost For IWA CentreKATHLEEN MCLOUGHLIN, CEO of Irish Wheelchair Associa-tion (IWA) was delighted to accept a generous donation of €50,000, from Kerry Group on Wednesday towards a new Resource and Outreach Centre. The new IWA centre, currently under construction, will provide essential services to people with disabilities from a modern, high spec, accessible facility located at the Reeks Development, Killarney. The association hopes to expand its high quality services to the people of Killarney. The centre will also be available to other community and voluntary groups.

Anita Matthews,Irish Wheelchair Association,

Blackheath Drive,Clontarf, Dublin 3

ON MONDAY evening the Asthma Society of Ireland held a public meeting in the Killarney Avenue Hotel as part of its national Clean Air Campaign. The meeting focused on the air quality situation in Kerry and in particular Killarney as well as looking at the national picture.

Those present, including many of the local General Election candidates, were surprised to learn that on certain winter nights air pollution levels in Killarney were between six to ten times higher than in Dublin City centre. This was a finding of the EPA-funded Sapphire Project conducted by University College Cork. The main contributing factor to these high air pollution levels was domestic solid fuel burning and in particular smoky coal burning. Killarney is not a smokeless zone presently.

In response to the findings of Sapphire the Asthma Society is calling on the EPA and local Authorities to commence a programme of installing air monitoring equipment which will be capable of detecting PM10, PM 2.5 and PM1 across the country.

As a direct result of Sapphire Project Wexford County Council are currently installing air monitoring sites across the county.

The extensive installation scheme of air monitoring equipment that Wexford County

Council has been rolling out across the towns in the county must be commended and replicated by Kerry County Council and other local authorities across the country. The air pollution detected in Enniscorthy was replicated in Killarney.

When it comes to real-time (within the hour) monitoring, comparisons become even more stark. There are only three Irish monitoring stations capable of reporting real-time concentrations of the standard parameters for particulate matter, PM2.5 and PM10 located in South Dublin, Clare and Mayo. There is one EPA funded air monitoring site currently situated in Kerry however it does not report in real-time and only detects PM10.I think we need to see the development of a Clean Air Act that puts health at the forefront of environmental regulations. Over the course of the General Election campaign we would encourage everyone in Kerry to ask their candidates to work to implement a nationwide smoky coal ban as quickly as possible if they are elected to the Dáil following the election.

Kerry’s Treasures UncoveredA VOYAGE back in time is on the cards as Kerry Archaeological and Historical Society will hold a lecture entitled "Some Treasures of the Kerry Church". The lecture, on Tuesday, February 23, will be delivered by Professor Salvador Ryan, theologian and author, based at St Patrick's College, Maynooth.

Samaritans seek your helpHAVE you got what it takes to be a Sa-maritan volunteer?The Kerry branch of Samaritans is looking to increase the number of lis-tening volunteers as there is a huge increase in the demand for its listen-ing and support service. The Samaritans aim to help people experiencing difficulty in their lives that may lead them to having suicid-al thoughts or feelings or that maybe just want to talk about what is going on in their lives.“Working 24/7, 365 days a year, we took 47,000 calls and contacts in the Kerry branch in 2015 at 43/44 Moyder-well, Tralee,” said a spokeswoman. “We are there for everyone and we provide a non-judgmental service.” The vision of Samaritans is to have fewer people die by suicide. “What sort of person will make a good Sa-maritan volunteer? We are about the simple art of listening offering a non-judgmental support,” added the spokeswoman.“We have comprehensive six-week training programme.All this will outlined at our infor-mation and recruitment nights in Killarney at the KDYS centre, Fair Hill, on Wednesday, February 17, at 8pm, and in Manor West Hotel in Tralee on Thursday, February 18, at 8pm. All are welcome to come along.”

Birthday rememBrance

MCCarthy

Seani McCarthy(16th February)

I WOULD that we were, my beloved, white birds on the foam of the sea!We tire of the flame of the meteor,

before it can fade and flee;And the flame of the blue star of

twilight, hung low on the rim of the sky,Has awakened in our hearts, my beloved,

a sadness that may not die.

A weariness that comes for those dreamers, dew-dabbled, the lily and rose;Ah, dream not of them, my beloved, the

flame of the meteor that goes,Or the flame of the blue star that lingers

hung low in the fall of the dew:For I would we were changed to white

birds on the wandering foam: I and you!

I am haunted by numberless islands, and many a Danaan shore,

Where Time would surely forget us, and Sorrow come near us no more;

Soon far from the rose and the lily, and fret of the flames would we be,

Were we only white birds, my beloved, buoyed out on the foam of the sea!

20th birthday remembrance of Ian O’Riordan late of Gneeveguilla, whose 20th birthday occurred on the 9th of

February.

Our hearts are full of memories,We treasure them with care,The way you had to leave us,

Will always seem unfair.No farewells were spoken,We did not say goodbye,

You were gone before we knew it,And only God knows why.

It broke our hearts to lose you,You did not go alone,

For part of us went with you,The day God called you home.

You left us beautiful memories,Your love is still our guide,

And though we cannot see you,You are always at our side.

The golden gates stood open,God saw you needed rest,

His garden must be beautiful,He only takes the best.

Loved and remembered everydayAuntie Annie, Pius, Céilie and Saoirse.

This should make a very interesting final, with both teams quite capable of winning it. So why not come along and show your sup-port for your team. All welcome.

Killarney Golf and Fishing Club Men’sClub Captain Liam Hartnett was sad-dened, that once again, the planned competition schedule for last week-end was totally “washed out”, and on this occasion, by just ordinary rain-fall, such is the saturation that our courses have endured since mid No-vember last, that they easily became flooded once more, he remarked, that this is ridiculous, the biblical deluge only lasted for forty days and forty nights and now we are well past that, sure it was no wonder that we called the course that we concocted, in or-der to have some golf being played on recently, the “Ark” worst of all, can you imagine that “Imogen” is on her way to us, we really should stop giv-ing names to these storms, just look at what has happened to us since we started, late last year.!!!With no Golf Club results to comment on, once again, then can we please take this opportunity to remind all of those who gave any form of assistance whatsoever in the clean-up’s of our courses in December and January that the-time sheet for the “four person scramble” our complimentary and thank you competition, is currently available in the Club House, and we very much look forward to seeing a full time-sheet for the event next Saturday, with a start time scheduled for 10.30am on the Mahony’s Point course, and the prize giving will be in the Club House around 3.30pm.Liam also wishes to pass on his sin-cere condolences on the recent pass-ing of our former Club member Sheila Kelliher, Sheila was the wife of our member Tomas, who has represent-ed our Club at National level on many occasions, mother, of our members Stephen and Ryan and sister of Daithi McGillicuddy, another of our mem-bers, Liam also wishes to remember Sheila’s mother Mary, sister Noreen, and Sheila’s other brother Sean, in his thoughts and prayers. Sheila will be most fondly recalled by one and all of our membership as being a most jovial and entertaining Lady, who regaled us on many occasions with her renditions of “I’m on the, top of the world”, and other numbers, that she was singing in the local Killarney Musical Society shows over the years. Liam also wishes to send his condo-

With wind and rain for much of the day, the event was not suitable for the youngest of crews and the event organisers re-duced the course distance to make the row safe for older crews.

Plenty of positives to take from the game but a lot of work to be done at training which continues Fri-day 7-8pm.Fixtures:Friday 12th February.Greyhound Bar CupCastleisland V Killarney Athletic 7-45pm (venue Mounthawk) Saturday 13th February.John Murphy U12 Cup Round 1 Park B v Killarney Athletic A 10-30amIveragh v Killarney Athletic B 11amTucker Kelly U16 Cup Round 1 Park A v Killarney Athletic 11-30 amGirls League Fixtures U12 Premier Killarney Celtic v Killarney Athletic 3pm U16 Premier Inter Kenmare v Killarney Athletic 3-15pm Sunday 14th February 2016Tom Hayes U14 Cup Round 2 Camp Juniors v Killarney Athletic 12 noonKerry u17:The club would like to congratulate

Killarney Salmon & Trout Angling ClubNow that the Salmon Anglers have had about a month of watching mother nature bring wave after wave of rain bearing weather down onto our rivers and lakes , they will be joined on the shores on the 15th of February by their Trout Angling colleagues as the Trout Angling Season opens . No doubt there will be a drive among some of them to catch a trout in pres-ent waters that would normally be a field or car park or other non angling associated locations!Presently a number of Affiliated Body AGM’s are taking place but some di-rection is reaching us about inter-pro-vincial competitions resulting from regional competitions held last year . The qualifying anglers from the in-augural Munster Masters competi-tion held on Lough Lein last year are now scheduled to take part in the Inter-provincial being held on Lough Corrie on Saturday 19th March 2016.Also potentially arriving at your doors in the coming days will be candidates for the forthcoming election and while you may have already have a long list for discussion with same - in the in-terest of your sport and the sustain-ability of the wild salmon and sea trout stock, you might take the time to quiz your candidates on their intentions, regarding ensuring that our nations estuary waters are free of any salmon farms and that the focus of new salm-on farms follow the environmentally friendly land-based model such as Re-circulation Aquaculture Systems ( RAS is principally fish farming in tank systems onshore with sustainable use of fresh water ) which could alleviate many of the problems net cage fish farms on coast-al waters creates.While you might feel little hope as an individual of influencing any substan-tial change in policy, rest assured that fellow anglers for clubs all over the island are bringing these very ques-tions to bear on their aspiring Dail candidates and with this effort on the ground, the pending government should be left in no doubt as to the concerns of the anglers nationally and the necessity to grapple with the issue and implement changes before the existing Salmon and Sea Trout stocks are pushed further into decline from a preventable source.

we will shortly be compiling a Digital Archive of club photos, news reports, memorabilia etc. That will require cur-rent and past members to rummage out whatever you might have in dis-play cases, old biscuit tins and pho-to albums. We’ll be publishing more details here and via the press on the project and how you can get us your materials (and get them safely back).resultsDenny PreMier: Killarney CeltiC 5 st. brenDans ParK 4Unbelievable stuff. Park led by 3-2 at half-time through Fergal Maunsell, a Mike Conway penalty, and Mark O’Sullivan, Peter McCarthy and a pin-point Joe Hurley top corner free kick on target for us. Park went ahead 4-2 through a bullet header from Con Bar-rett, but a calm and composed Celtic began to dominate. Peter made it 4-3 and Celtic were thwarted in a number of chances before Stephen Hayes neat-ly drilled home from outside the box after a great team move. Celtic had the wind in their sails now and Stephen McCarthy with a bril-liant finish that belies his age put us ahead. Well done to every player on both sides; this was thrill-a-minute sporting soccer and a real pleasure to watch.u15 PreMier: Killarney CeltiC 3 KillorG-lin 0A great display, with Patrick Darcy hit-ting the net twice and Evan Looney adding our third. Of greater significance was Celtic wear-ing black armbands and a minute’s silence for the late and much loved Sheila Kelliher; it was immaculately observed by both teams and all sup-porters.u13 PreMier: KillorGlin 2 Killarney CeltiC 0A great effort by the whole team, but an excellent Killorglin took the points on offer.u13 DiV one: Killarney CeltiC b 2 st. brenDans ParK C 1A cracking and very sporting game, and a superb win for Celtic. Jason Lee with a free-kick that Ronaldo or Messi would struggle to emulate put us up

1-0 at half-time. Park equalised - they are a great outfit too - but Ruairi Dor-rian in the last five minutes scored a beauty to claim the points. The whole team were fantastic, but Erin Molo-ney’s incredible display has to be sin-gled out for mention.u11 blitz: Killarney Celtic hosted a bril-liant blitz on Saturday evening where a lot of fun was had by all.

Killaney RFC U14:Our u14’s travelled the short distance to Listry to take on Killorglin RFC last Sat-urday, in the latest round of the West Munster League. Conditions were bru-tal as the game commenced, however the driving rain went largely unnoticed as Killarney started with a bursting try from second row captain Craig McK-ensie Vass who lead from the front all day. Killarney’s second try came from first time out half Dion O’Neill. Tries also from our no. 8 Cian Murphy and full back Damien Switzer. Cian Murphy converted 3 of the tries. While the conditions were tough for both sides the quality and skills of all the Killarney players was exciting for all to see. Subs that came on integrat-ed well into the team with everyone giving 100%. The game ended with a solid win for the visitors on a scoreline of 26 to 5 to Killarney. A huge thanks must go to our travelling supporters who constantly travel to games to shout on their side. Next match at home to Tralee on Satur-day next. Kick off is at 11am.U18:Castleisland/Killarney u18’s continued their good results of late with a suc-cessful road trip to take on Cork Con last Saturday. The combined team have been real-ly taking off and the hard training is standing to the lads. With a shaky start to the season, the results are coming and the lads returned home with a vic-tory over Cork Con on a scoreline of 20 points to nil. Well done to Paul Sheah-an and the lads!Senior XV:Our Seniors were due to play Carrick on Suir last Saturday in the league, however Carrick were unable to field a

team so the game was cancelled. The Seniors will play Douglas/Carrigaline next Sunday at Aghadoe. Please come along and support the lads in this im-portant league match. Kick off is at 2:30pm.GirlS rUGby:Killarney RFC are committed to devel-oping ladies rugby in Killarney.

This is part of a fundraising campaign that started some time ago. Now that we have the right space we are erecting railings around the main pitch and this will enable us to sell more key space for corporate sponsors to place a sign at the perimeter of the main pitch. The grounds also have a natural boundary which lends itself perfectly to more advertising space. We are mindful that we will retain the aesthetic values of the grounds. Any business looking to advertise their products or services can avail of our Signage advertising option of €650 for the first year, and subsequent years @ €350 per year. The package includes: Large pitch side advertising panel in full corporate colours, 240cm x 60cm

(8’ x 2’); Free admission to all home games for 2 designated individuals (names may be changed annually); Free inclusion in Corporate Members’ lottery for right to purchase Munster and ireland match tickets; inclusion on Corporate Advertisers Listing on Club Website; Link to Club Website. Once we get your graphics we will look after production and erection. We are embarking on a canvass of the business community in the coming weeks to offer a range of sponsorship options to the business community in the Killarney area and the wider com-munity. We hope all members will get involved and help promote the campaign to raise important funds. For further de-tails contact any committee member or Mike Fuller on 087-6489628.

killarney notes The week in sport | Deadline Tuesday 5.30pm | Sports Editor Eamonn Fitzgerald


FIRST LEAGUE WIN ON KERRY SOIL FOR ROSCOMMONROSCOMMON came to Fitzgerald Stadium on Sunday last and went away with their first League win on Kerry soil against a wasteful Kerry side on a final score of 0-14 to 1-9 before an attendance of 4,507 which included a sizeable travelling sup-port for the Westerners. One could hardly say that they did not deserve their win after dominating long periods of the second half despite play-ing against the elements. Kerry started in flying form going three points ahead within eight minutes but Roscommon re-sponded with eight unanswered points – a statistic that does not reflect well on the homeside – before Kerry finished the half well with a Stephen O’Brien goal to lead a the break, 1-6 to 0-8. Kerry dom-inated the first 15 minutes of the second half but poor shooting meant that Ste-phen O’Brien’s point in the 48th minute left them just two points to the good. Roscommon tacked on four unanswered points as Kerry continued to pass up scoring chances before eventually run-ning out of ideas up front and the fact that Conor Cox’s point in the 42nd min-ute of the half was their solitary score in 29 minutes of second half play will not be lost on manager Eamonn Fitzmaurice and his management team.

Three-week breakKerry footballers now have a three week break and then there are three games in successive weekends starting on Febru-ary 28 against Down (A), Donegal (Austin Stack Park) and Mayo (A), and then, fol-lowing a two week break, Kerry finish up with Monaghan (A) and Cork at home in Austin Stack Park.

Colm Cooper and Marc Ó Sé have both resumed training while Kieran Donaghy was due to re-join the pane this week. Kieran O’Leary, the Geaneys, Jack Sher-wood and Peter Crowley, all of whom had legacy injuries attended to over the Winter period, are not expected back until March while Anthony Maher and James O’Donoghue are not expected to return to training until April.Under 21 players Brian Ó Beaglaoich, Tom O’Sullivan and Barry O’Sullivan, who have been part of the senior panel for the opening two rounds of the League, will now return to the Under 21 squad for the duration of that team’s Under 21 Championship campaign which gets un-derway on March 9 in Austin Stack Park against Tipperary.

Double DelighT There was double delight for Kerry clubs in the AIB All Ireland Club Finals in Croke park on Saturday last when St Marys and Templenoe got the better of Mayo op-position in contrasting fashion to return to the Kingdom with both titles in their possession thus emulating the feat of Brosna and Ardfert last year and indeed Skellig Rangers and St Michaels-Foilmore in 2009.

ST Mary’S are crowneD chaMpionSSt Mary’s added the All Ireland Interme-diate title to the Junior title they won in 2011 following a hard fought victory over a gallant Mayo side Hollymount-Car-ramore on a 2-10 to 0-10 scoreline at Croke Park on Saturday afternoon last. It was a tough battle, particularly during

the first half when the Mayo side packed their defence to ensure that St Mary’s would not get the freedom they enjoyed en route to the final.

TeMplenoe reign SupreMe Templenoe became the seventh Kerry team to win the All Ireland Junior Club Championship when overwhelming Mayo side Ardnaree-Sarsfields by 4-13 to 1-9 in a fine open game of football at Croke Park on Saturday afternoon last. The cru-cial scores for the Kenmare District side came either side of half time with goals from Brian Crowley and Stephen O’Sul-livan and though they went without a score for 18 minutes of the second half, hat-trick hero O’Sullivan and his com-rades finished the game in style to leave no doubt as to whom the better team was.After the game, captain Tadhg Morley was presented with the All Ireland Junior Cup by Uachtarán CLG Aoghaín Ó Fearghail and Stephen O’Sullivan was presented with the AIB man of the match trophy.

Their opponents will be CBS High School Clon-mel who shocked Rochestown College to advance to the final of a competition they last won way back in 1928, the in-augural year of the competition.

East Kerry eaST kerry Senior leagueThe East Kerry Senior League got under way last Sunday, with two division 2 games. Fossa were at home to Scartaglen. Conditions were poor with rain and a very strong wind and both sides were understrength. Scartaglen, playing with the aid of the wind in the first half, had the better of the scoring and duly led 1-7 to 0-1 at half time. However, in the second half, Fossa playing with the wind, scored 6 points without reply while Scartaglen

did not add to their tally. Fossa tried hard to get a goal to bring them level but couldn’t break down a resolute Scartaglen defence. The visitors held on to win on a final scoreline of Scartaglen 1-7 Fossa 0-7. The second division 2 game played last Sunday saw Cordal host Firies and it was the visitors who proved the stronger and took the league points on a final scoreline of Firies 2-09 Cordal 0-7. The four Division 1 games which had been fixed for Sunday, (Legion V Rathmore, Glenflesk V Currow, Gneeveguilla, Kilcummin V Spa, Listry V Kenmare), were called off due to unplayable pitches.The East Kerry Senior League continues next Sunday with a round 4 game, which has been brought forward - Listry V Kilcummin, in Listry with throw in at 12 noon.re-fixeD eaST kerry unDer 21 chaMpionShip The East Kerry Under 21 Championship quarter finals, which had to be called off due to unplayable pitches, have been re- fixed for Sunday next.

FÉILEThe Féile is taking place in the south west (Kerry, North Cork and West Limerick) this year from June 24th to 26th. The last time the Féile took place in Kerry was in 1994 so it’s a big deal. Both our Legion U-14 boys and our Legion U-14 girls teams have entered the competition. Our boys won the Kerry Féile in 2006 and 2009 and our girls won in 2013. Féile is the biggest single sporting event in Europe with over 5,500 young players taking part from all over Ireland as well as from the UK, USA and even Italy this year. The region can expect to see well over 70,000 visitors so we’ll need a small bit of help! Our club will be hosting two visiting teams and we’re looking for volunteers for all sorts of tasks to help out leading up to and during the event. This should be a tremendous occasion for our young players, their families and supporters alike. More updates to follow.
