  • Duffer delivers silverware as others bring defiance

    Agreeing with Pat Spillane is not something done lightly by the occupant of this seat. In fact, the mere thought of doing so makes one shudder. It is my firm belief that the pontificating Templenoe publican is of the belief that the world was made either by or for a Kerryman. However, even that inclination…

    The race for Richie is under starter’s orders (updated 11.40am 22/10/24)

    It may make me a bit of an oddball, but I tend to be a champion of matters which others belittle or ridicule. See the Railway Cup, the International Rules Series or the scandalously shafted Tommy Murphy Cup. The Brady’s Skoda-sponsored Meath Regional Football Championship is another such gem. The brainchild of Colm O’Rourke and…

    Mrs Anne Moran (nee Watters) RIP

    At the outset here I will admit to feeling wholly unqualified to be writing the following but, for a person and families of such status and repute in our locality and community, I feel compelled to record her passing… It was with profound sadness that I this morning learned of the passing of Anne Moran.…

  • Healion Tree Care – complete hedge removal compilation

    Healion Tree Care – complete hedge removal compilation

    Kevin Healion and his team work their magic removing a 29 year old Laelandei hedge and mulching the off cuts. A serious fleet of machinery and consummate pros at what they do. If it was a few months further down the line, said mulch would also serve wonderfully as cattle bedding. At least if/when that…

    John Bruton

    I have absolutely no doubt some eyes will pop out of heads – certainly locally and perhaps further afield – that what appears hereafter was produced by the occupant of this seat. Now read on… That’s OK. However, there could never be a better or more apt illustration of the foibles of judging a book…
