It was one of the major beneficiaries of the latest round of grants from the Government’s Enterprise Development Fund which allocated €2,279,073 to the project last week. The centre will be located at 29-30 Cecil Street and will act as a major catalyst for further investment and building refurbishment in the area. It will focus on business process improvement rather than new technology development. Limerick Chamber chief executive Dee Ryan said that the latest tranche of government funding confirms the new confidence that abounds in the city and county. “This type of funding would not be made available were it not for the enormous progress already made in the city and the fact that we are working to a very coherent plan, Limerick 2030 – An Economic and Spatial Plan. “The great thing about these projects is that they involve an excellent mix of urban and rural. We have great momentum developed in Limerick and this funding is going to add to it. It’s a great time for the city and county but the journey is only starting as we need to build on this.” Referring to the Digital Collaboration and Virtual Reality Centre, Mayor James Collins, who is a member of the Innovate Limerick board, said it was a perfect example of how large multi-national companies and smaller local enterprises are being helped do business and grow in the region.

Crime Prevention officer Sergeant Ber Leetch said the scammer pretends to be interested in a romantic relationship with somebody they intend to defraud. “It usually happens on online dating websites, but the scammers often use social media or email to make contact. If you think you have been targeted, you should stop all contact and keep all communication and any other evidence that could help identify the fraudster. “You should report the matter to the Gardaí and the site where the contact was established to let them know the scammer’s profile name and any details that could prevent others being targeted”, she said.

As the first of its kind in the country, it will narrow the innovation-adoption gap for global and indigenous companies through collaborative technology applications in services and business processes. This will support start-ups, scaling, HPSU growth and talent attraction,” he explained. Innovate Limerick chief executive Mike Cantwell described the project as a “game changer” for Limerick businesses. “It will act as a platform for Small to Medium Enterprises to meet with multi-national companies in a mutually beneficial problem-solving environment. The centre is about connecting companies that have adjacent skills which will lead to accelerated growth. “It means businesses can come to us with problems and we can offer them solutions that could save them money and time. It is a game- changer. This whole enterprise came about after businesses approached us and explained their needs. We are delighted they did and we are equally thrilled we have been able to deliver for them,” Mr Cantwell added. Limerick City and County Council chief executive Conn Murray said that huge strides had been made since the launch of Innovate Limerick, which he described as a major stimulant for employment and innovation in Limerick city and county. “The allocation from the Enterprise Development Fund is the latest positive development in what is a great period for Limerick. This reaffirms our status as a digital and technical hub and, thereby, strengthening Limerick’s profile as a great place to do business even further,” he explained.

| www.limerickpost.ie 4 | Saturday 8 December 2018 News More news @ www.limerickpost.ie Editorial Table toppers THE schools league tables, published this week, show that non-fee paying schools are catching up with fee-paying schools when it comes to getting students into college. On the face of it, this is a good thing, as it indicates that students are enjoying more equality of opportunity, regardless of their family’s financial standing. Surely a better educated, better-qualified population is something to strive for? But, according to the Construction Industry Federation (CIF), there is another side to the story, and they have a point. The CIF is strongly critical of the fact that schools don’t give students the option of apprenticeships. It seems we have decided that a degree is the new Leaving Cert. But is college the best place for every person starting out ion their career path? Are we pushing youngsters towards college courses on the basis of some notional educational snobbery which suggests that learning a trade is a lesser achievement? Educators will tell you that we are over- subscribed with people doing arts degrees because they have no notion what they actually want to do with their working lives. The world needs computer programmers, doctors and lawyers but we also need builders bakers, butchers, electricians and carpenters. We need to allow our children to at least look at the option of learning a trade and to do that, we need to have more apprenticeship opportunities and we need to lose the attitude. The last time any of us had to call a plumber, an electrician or someone to build a shed, there was nothing second best about the bill. The league table only measures one aspect of educational success and it is a dubious metric if it is pushing young people into academia when they have no great desire to be there. Education should be about the whole person, not just a head-count of the college kids. What are we teaching our children by insisting that a third-level qualification is the only one worth having? And the league tables are only encouraging schools to push square pegs into round holes so they can point at the results and say they are doing a great job. entertainment Limerick shoots for the stars as Nightflyers airs in the US Taoiseach Leo Varadkar on the set of Nightflyers with cast members Eoin Macken, Maya Eshet and Sam Strike. Photo: Alan Place by Andrew Carey andrew@limerickpost.ie THREE years of hard work and the vision of a group of people dedicated to creating a film industry in Limerick finally came to fruition on Sunday night when the Troy Studios production of Nightflyers aired in the US for the first time. Based on a novella by Game of Thrones creator, George R.R. Martin, the production of Nightflyers at the former Dell computers manufacturing base led to the employment of up to 350 highly skilled workers at the studios during the 18 months of its production. Sunday night was described as “a big moment in the life of the studios” as the SYFY channel in North America transmitted the first episode of the eagerly-awaited science fiction show. “Three years ago who would have predicted that #Limerick would be home to an international film studio, a testimony to those who took a leap of faith to make it happen. We look forward to seeing the entire series and hope there are more to come”, the Troy Studios social media channels posted on Sunday night. The show is airing in the US over an eight day schedule with the final episode showing on December 10. According to early online reviews, Nightflyers “transports the audience to the outer reaches of space, where a group of maverick scientists and gifted individuals travel in search of a mysterious alien race in the hopes of saving the human species – but the Nightflyer isn’t any ship, it’s haunted by someone or something tormenting its passengers at every turn”. The series will be broadcast on Netflix throughout Europe. When the cameras stopped rolling for Nightflyers at Troy Studios, the team behind the facility announced major expansion plans in a bid to attract new production to Limerick. Confirming plans to add another sound stage and increase the footprint of the Limerick studio, Troy Studios Director Ossie Kilkenny said that Limerick “was very high on the radar where movies are made in Los Angeles and it is part of every conversation in the industry.” The expansion will add 33,000 sp ft to the Castletroy unit, create 150 jobs during its construction which will be completed next year. This will bring Troy Studios closer to realising its ambition to “have 800 people working here and we will contribute €100 million to the local economy”, Mr Kilkenny added. Appeal rejected For a water- related emergency, dial 999 or 112 and ask for the Coastguard Bigger role River rescue Murder trial A Limerick man has lost his Supreme Court appeal against his conviction for the murder of a father of six on his 40th birthday in a case of mistaken identity. The appeal by Jonathan Fitzgerald of South Claughaun Road, Garryowen centred on whether the trial judge should have warned the jury to treat a female witness as an accomplice. Fitzgerald was jailed for life in 2011 for the murder of Noel Crawford who was shot on December 18, 2006 while standing outside his parents’ home in O’Malley Park, Southill. Michael O’Callaghan, of Pineview Gardens, Moyross, who was 15 at the time of the killing, was jailed for seven years after he pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of Mr Fitzgerald. MUNSTER MEP Liadh Ní Riada has called on the Government to allow Credit Unions to play their part in solving the housing crisis. The Sinn Féin politician was speaking after meeting with the Irish League of Credit Unions (ILCU) in the European Parliament this week. Ms Ní Riada said the ILCU were keen to point out the potential Credit Unions have to contribute to society on a wider level if they get the right support. “Credit Unions provide a vital service to their communities but there is a real frustration within the ILCU that there is so much more they could do for ordinary working people if they were not hamstrung by regulations designed to reign in toxic banks,” she stated. A MAN in his 30s was rescued from the River Shannon during rush hour traffic on Tuesday morning. He was seen entering the water at Shannon Bridge shortly after 9am and four units from the Limerick City Fire and Rescue service were dispatched to the scene including the FireSwift rescue boat which is docked at Steamboat Quay. Swiftwater rescue swimmers managed to bring him from the water at the Dock Gates as he was being taken down river by strong currents. The man received emergency medical treatment at St Michael’s slipway on O’Callaghan’s Strand before he was brought to University Hospital Limerick where his condition was said to be life-threatening because of the drop in temperature. A LIMERICK murder trial has heard that the accused man told Gardaí that if the victim “had stopped f***ing annoying me, it wouldn’t have happened”. Desmond Coyle, (60), originally from Garryowen but with an address on Davis Street, told the Central Criminal Court that the victim, Calo Carpaci (58), had been demanding money off him. He went to Carpaci’s house on Roche’s Row (between Roches Street and Thomas Street) on May 24, 2017 to get him to “stop demanding money and making smart-alecky comments”. Coyle said he didn’t remember the stabbing but “the reality is that if he had stopped f***ing annoying me, it wouldn’t have happened either.” The trial continues before Mr Justice Michael White.

The six residential properties were acquired by the local authority through CPO to take them out of dereliction.

Limerick to Galway in same time as trip from city centre to UL by Alan Jacques alan@limerickpost.ie YOU could drive to Galway in the time it takes to get from the city centre to the University of Limerick (UL). That’s according to Metropolitan Mayor Daniel Butler who told council members at City Hall this Monday that the journey from the city centre to UL can take up to 90 minutes for those travelling to work. “You could get to Galway in that time,” he said at the monthly meeting of the Travel and Transportation Strategic Policy Committee (SPC). He was commenting on a notice of motion from Fianna Fail councillor Joe Pond calling on Limerick City and County Council, together with Clare County Council, to progress the development of the Northern Distributor Road as a matter of urgency. Cllr Pond said the Northern Distributor Road should be regarded as “a vital piece of infrastructure” for the city and county. And with Edwards Lifesciences’ recent announcement of 600 new jobs for the National Technology Park in Castletroy, he believes action is now needed expeditiously. Cllr Butler took the view that the local authority needs to be “hammering this issue home day and night to get meaningful progress”. “For the future growth of Plassey we need to do something. Companies are reluctant to expand because of the transport issue,” he added. Sinn Fein councillor Séighin Ó Ceallaigh claimed there was an “ Companies are reluctant to expand because of the transport issue. Metropolitan Mayor Daniel Butler “unwillingness from unelected officials” within the council executive to move on the Northern Distributor Road project. “It is up to us as councillors not the faceless people upstairs. We are the elected officials,” he declared. Operations Manager for Limerick City and County Council, Brian Kennedy agreed that the Northern Distributor Road was a “critical piece of infrastructure” for Limerick and Clare. He assured council members that the local authority is liaising with Clare County Council and the Department of Transport on the matter. Cllr Pond called for local representatives to be updated every six months on all developments. “People don’t know what’s happening. We don’t know what’s happening,” said Labour Party councillor Elena Secas. Redevelopment plans for Punches Cross site Moves to solve rail Losing sleep over line flood problem traffic noise on M7 by Alan Jacques Andrew Carey by Alan Jacques andrew@limerickpost.ie alan@limerickpost.ie PROGRESS on addressing flooding on the Limerick to Galway railway line has been welcomed by a Joint Oireachtas Committee. The committee had been told that the ”chronic problem of groundwater flooding” at Ballycar outside Newmarket-on-Fergus had caused major service disruptions over recent years. Iarnród Éireann, the Office of Public Works and Clare County Council have agreed to pursue a joint programme of action “to resolve the problem on the railway at Ballycar.” “The Committee is extremely pleased to see developments moving in the right direction after so many years of disruption to the rail service,” said Committee Chairman and Clare TD Joe Carey. “We welcome the united commitment of Irish Rail, the OPW and Clare County Council to hold regular meetings focused on solving the chronic service disruptions caused by groundwater at Ballycar,” “We expect to receive more signs of concrete progress towards a sustainable solution when the three organisations report back to the Committee in six months’ time,” Deputy Carey added. TRAFFIC noise levels are so loud on certain parts of the M7 Motorway that residents in estates in Castletroy are kept awake at night. That’s what Fianna Fail councillor Joe Pond told council members at this Monday’s meeting of the Travel and Transportation Strategic Policy Committee (SPC). He said that traffic noise from the M7 is affecting the quality of life of residents living in Cherryfield, Thornfield, Oakfield, Monaleen Park, Kylemore, Evanwood and Cairnsfort in Castletroy. He then proposed a motion calling on Limerick City and County Council to urge Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) to erect a high quality effective sound barrier along the motorway to reduce noise to an acceptable level within these residential alan@limerickpost.ie LABOUR Party councillor Joe Leddin has confirmed that an application by Clonclara Investments Ltd to redevelop the former Dan Ryan’s garage at Punches Cross has been submitted to An Bord Pleanála. While negotiations have been taking place with the Council’s Planning Department in recent weeks the new owners have opted to avail of the fast-track planning process for residential developments exceeding 100 units. This strategically located site at the intersection of the Ballinacurra Road and Rosbrien Road has remained derelict for a number of years after previous planning approvals were not delivered. “Until recently the site comprised of three separate units which made securing any agreement to redevelop extremely difficult. I have received many representations from neighbours and the wider community as to the unsightly state of the site and, despite my suggestions that a temporary park and ride facility be located there, no progress was made,” Cllr Leddin told the Limerick Post. “The new owners are proposing a mix of commercial and residential units as well as student accommodation to cater for the growing student population at Mary Immaculate College. “As part of the proposed development new road infrastructure will include new access roads and a widening of the existing Rosbrien Road to facilitate traffic turning right onto the Ballincurra Road. “Despite lodging their planning application with An Bord Pleanála, the owners must place site notices to facilitate public engagement and comment once the application is deemed valid, possibly within the next few weeks,” Cllr Leddin explained. developments. “We are doing nothing to subdue the noise. We need to make TII put up sound barriers,” he added. Labour Party councillor Elena Secas supported the motion. “This is an issue I feel very strongly about. It has been going on for years and years. Less noise would help the situation,” she claimed. Metropolitan Mayor Daniel Butler pointed out that noise is recognised as having serious health consequences, second only to air pollution. “This is a serious issue. It is a matter of public health and we need to tackle it,” he told the council executive. Senior Executive Engineer Anne Goggin told councillors that 14 “hotspots” where noise is excessive had been identified as part of the local authority’s Noise Action Plan. This list, she said, would be reviewed. |

The footage, captured by mobile phone or motorbike mounted cameras by road policing Gardaí in Limerick, is beamed to Dublin through a new Garda mobile app used by members of the units. Video from Garda checkpoints or from pursuits is transmitted directly to Garda headquarters in Dublin’s Phoenix Park. While Garda management is understood to be reviewing the application of the system nationwide, the details of a full implementation is being teased out as the feed has no evidential use in court case as it is not stored or recorded. However it is seen as a significant advance in the Garda’s efforts to detect and prosecute criminal activity. While the initiative was introduced on a trial basis, its implementation across all Garda divisions will require additional funding from the Department of Justice. Garda Bryan Duddy told the Garda Bryan Duddy displaying the new Garda video app alongside his specially equipped BMW motorbike. Photo: Brian Arthur Limerick Post that “embracing technology in the context of modern policing is both exciting and challenging. “It will change the future of the way we police and it will increase the visibility and effectiveness of Gardaí on the roads,” he said. Garda Duddy, who is a member of the Roads Policing Unit at Henry Street Garda Station, added that the new technology will greatly benefit The system eliminates the need for officers to call in driver or car details to a station. Aside from the bike’s capabilities in relaying live feed information as well as the ANPR features, the bike can go from 0 to 60kmph in three seconds and and has a top speed of 240kmph. The bike and its technology can be seen this Friday from 2pm to 7pm at the Crescent Shopping Centre. traffic policing. The Limerick-based Garda is using a new state-of-the-art BMW RT1200 motorbike which is also equipped with technology that can relay scan number plates of cars.

| www.limerickpost.ie Saturday 8 December 2018 | 9 News Housing Council steps up efforts to tackle derelict sites by Alan Jacques alan@limerickpost.ie LIMERICK City and County Council has signalled an escalation of its efforts to tackle the problem of derelict sites with the launch of a major programme of Compulsory Purchase Orders. The local authority has given notice to compulsorily acquire eight derelict properties under the derelict sites and housing acts this week. The Council has also published confirmation notices of the completed compulsory acquisition on a further two derelict properties. In 2018 the Council completed over 500 inspections of derelict properties. Commenting on the step up of efforts on reducing dereliction, Council Director of Services Gordon Daly told the Limerick Post that owners of derelict properties are first offered advice on how to deal with their derelict properties. “They are then given a range of alternatives including the Lease and Repair Scheme, Buy and Renew Scheme and the Business Retail Incentive Scheme. “Our message to communities is that we are listening to your concerns on dereliction and we are stepping up our efforts to deal with this issue across the city and county. “Our message to owners of derelict properties is simple. Please engage with the Council or if not it will use the full range of statutory powers available to it including the imposition of levies and compulsory acquisition,” he said. OUR STUDENTS ARE WELL PREPARED In early 2019, the Council also plans to use its powers to impose a derelict sites levy on further additional derelict sites. This annual levy is due to rise next year from three per cent to seven per cent of market value.

Spirits soared as Santa jetted in, out and around Shannon for his sixth successful Shannon flights pre- Christmas extravaganza. The annual Santa flights have become very much an annual fixture and the two-day event saw children entertained by dancing elves and festive fun and games in the transit lounge before boarding what was for many of them their first flight. The much sought-after tickets were allocated through a lottery system. The €1 per seat lottery application fee and the €1.50 booking fee went to the Shannon Group’s designated charities, the Share a Dream Foundation and the Clare Crusaders. The flights were a magical experience for the children and their parents, including Limerick woman Eimear Mulcahy from Clareview who said,“I came here with my sister and we had my two daughters, a friend of theirs and two nieces from Cork. What a great way to start the Christmas season. It was great fun. On their way to meet Santa in the sky were cousins Lily O’Leary, Carrigaline, Cork; Elizabeth O’Connor, Caherdavin, Limerick; Paige O’Leary, Carigaline and Olivia Mulcahy, Clareview, Limerick. Photo: Arthur Ellis. We loved every minute of it, from the moment we walked into the airport. “Everyone was so great to make such a fuss of the kids. The kids had great fun beforehand, got onto a flight, saw Santa and then got to see the fire-truck at the end, which finished it off perfectly. It’s great to think that it’s all in aid of charity too. It’s great credit to Shannon Airport.” Shannon Airport Managing Director Andrew Murphy said the Santa Flights have become a real highlight of the Christmas season. “It was a busy two days but full of fun. From our perspective it’s just great to be able to spread a bit of Christmas cheer and put smiles on so many children’s faces. “It’s a big logistical task, from ensuring that the children and their families have plenty of fun and are kept entertained while they await their flight, to all flights are running smoothly and that Santa arrives safe and sound back in Lapland. But it’s definitely worth it when you see all the joy it brings.” C U R RAG H C H A S E Christmas Trees Toaster & Kettle Breakfast Set €58 Was: €145 Now: €99 Apple Spice Vanilla Candles Incl.VAT Karcher K2 Pressure Washer TREES • WREATHS • GIFTS curraghchasegardencentre.ie (087) 9224899 Open to the public Tel: 061 436 402 Email: sales@totalcleaningsupplies.ie Unit 7A, Docklands Business Park, Dock Road, Limerick. www.totalcleaningsupplies.ie |
| www.limerickpost.ie Saturday 8 December 2018 | 11 News More news @ www.limerickpost.ie Society In Brief Tenants rights ^ LABOUR Party spokesperson on Housing Jan O’Sullivan has reiterated her call for a rent register to be introduced, following the publication of the Threshold Annual Report. ”Areas covered by the Rent Pressure Zones are seeing rent increases well above the four per cent maximum while Limerick and Waterford, which are not included, have seen rents increase by 20 per cent in the past year. We need a nationwide control on rents that links them to the cost of living as Labour proposed in a Bill that was voted down by the Government more than two years ago,” she said. Car sales ^ Statistics released by the Society of the Irish Motor Industry (SIMI) show that the total new car registrations for the month of November were down in Limerick from 4,489 in 2017 to 4,308 this year. Nationally, sales were down 5.72 per cent (643) when compared to November 2017 (682). Registrations year to date are down 4.4 per cent (125,415) on the same period last year (131,173). Dominican Christmas ^ EVERYONE is welcome to Christmas at the Dominicans on Friday, December 14 at 7:30pm when there will be a performance by the St. Saviour’s Choir, the Adare Choir, and other local musical groups. A reception will follow with festive treats and spot prizes. All proceeds will go to the young adult ministry. Tickets are €15 or four for €50; students and seniors €10; children 12 and under free. They can be purchased in the Abbey Bookstore or the Knock Shrine Shop. Hospital staff take part in ‘Purple Up’ campaign by Bernie English bernie@limerickpost.ie STAFF from the University of Limerick Hospitals Group have joined forces with An Garda Siochana, Rape Crisis Midwsest, Adapt House, Clare Haven and Ascend Services as part of the international campaign 16 Days of Action Opposing Violence Against Women. The campaign lasts until mid- December and part of a worldwide initiative that links actions in Ireland to global action on violence against women. Last week, large crowds turned out for the Purple Up rally, where candles were lit for each of the stolen lives of 216 women in Ireland who died violently since 1996. Businesses in the city and county decorated with their premises with purple streamers, balloons and posters for the duration of the campaign, running a range of activities to raise awareness about issues of domestic, sexual and gender-based violence. As part of the campaign, the Medical Social Work (MSW) Team at UL Hospitals invited staff, partner organisations and members of the Gardaí, staff from agencies working with survivors of domestic violence and UL Hospitals Group staff marking the 16 Days of Action Opposing Violence Against Women at UHL. public to their annual event at UHL. The event was launched followed by a balloon release, in the ‘purple up’ campaign colours, outside the main hospital building. The MSW Team in UHL offer a confidential, support and information service to those who are affected by domestic violence across all the UL Hospitals Group. They meet and work with women, children and families who attend the hospitals having experienced or who are at experience some form of Domestic Violence in Ireland and Women risk of abuse.

Photographs of Limerick’s Wild Atlantic Way will be shown worldwide as part of the ‘Call of the Wild’ initiative. The campaign, organised by the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport, Fáilte Ireland and Tourism Ireland, asked local people in Limerick along the Wild Atlantic Way to share images and video of their hidden gems. More than 4,000 images and videos of everything from landscapes to gourmet food known only to locals, but undiscovered by the rest of the world, were shared during the two- week campaign using #MyWildAtlanticWay. A selection of entries from County Limerick will now feature in a suite of videos that will be shared domestically and internationally via social media channels to highlight the beauty of the locality as a holiday destination. The campaign, which predominantly targets international holidaymakers, will showcase the beauty of the West Coast and is expected to be viewed by more than one million targeted social media users over the next four weeks. Fáilte Ireland teamed up with Limerick sporting legend, Irish Women’s Hockey player Róisin Upton who served as a ‘Call of the Wild’ ambassador and shared some of her favourite destinations in the region across her social media accounts. Róisin commented:“I’m thrilled to be a ‘Call of the Wild’ ambassador and to be a part of a campaign that highlights the beauty of Limerick. The response from locals throughout our county was strong, and the images and videos uploaded perfectly capture the unique charm of our region. I’m delighted that Limerick will be included in a global campaign, so we can share a piece of our home with an international audience.” In Brief Care award ^ CAHERASS Nursing Home in County Limerick has scooped a prestigious end-of-life care award at the Nursing Homes Ireland (NHI) Annual Awards. The Compassionate End-of-Life (CEOL) group at the purpose built home in Croom was presented with the Excellence in End-of-Life Care award at the NHI Celebrating Excellence in Care ceremony. The group at Caherass, which forms part of Mowlam Healthcare, started activities in 2015 by participating in a pilot programme called ‘A Journey of Change’ with the Irish Hospice Foundation (IHF). Since then, the group has developed into a consistently performing team, passionate about improving end-of life care standards. Go for Life ^ FIFTY two Limerick groups will share a Government allocation of €15,040 to fund physical activity for older people. The ‘Go for Life’ National Grant Scheme will distribute almost €300,000 in funding to more than 1,000 groups around the country. The allocation brings the total grants allocated over the last 18 years to over 14,000 and the total fund allocated to date is €5.7 million. Age & Opportunity chief executive Karen Smyth described the funding as an important milestone in keeping older age groups healthy and active. She said the grants ensured clubs and groups from all walks of life could benefit from the scheme. Tom Considine Desmond Castle in Adare is one of the impressive images submitted for the ‘Call of the Wild’ initiative. Environment Approval for Aughinish rock blasting described as ‘reckless’ by Alan Jacques alan@limerickpost.ie A DECISION by An Bord Pleanála to allow Aughinish Alumina rock blast a borrow pit at their plant in West Limerick for ten years has been described as reckless by a local environmental group. The Cappagh Farmers Support Group believes the borrow pit proposal will have a life-long detrimental impact on fauna, wildlife, marine life, birds, and the natural environment. Chairman Pat Geoghegan told the Limerick Post that he is also concerned that the decision will have a negative impact on those living close to these ponds at Aughinish Island in Askeaton and Foynes. “Our objection clearly outlines the dangers of blasting rock to a depth of 8 metres and 4.5 hectare in size next to red mud ponds, storing approximately 40 million tonnes of toxic waste. We would like to brief councillors and the Mayor himself of the dangers to this proposal,” he explained. An Bord Pleanála informed Cappagh Farmers Support Group this week that they have granted a ten-year permission for the borrow pit with an extraction area of 4.5 hectares to extract around 374 cubic metres of rock over a ten-year period. Extraction will take place between April and September each year. “Such a decision by An Bord Pleanála is nothing more than reckless – to allow explosives to be set off just meters from the existing mud ponds that store 50 million tonnes of toxic waste in order to secure rock that will be used to heighten the embankments further to store more toxic waste. “When it dries out, it will blow on to farms and the wider community,” he claimed. Cappagh Farmers Support Group also maintain that by accumulating rock for the embankments, Aughinish are also creating a 8.5 meter crater that could form the next stage of a third mud pond to store more toxic waste. “We are heading for one of the biggest toxic waste facilities in Europe right next to Foynes. If the explosives breach any part of the embankment or the base of the mud ponds, we could be looking at the destruction of the Shannon Estuary for decades to come, with the red toxic waste flowing straight from the ponds into the Shannon. “This planning has not taken into account for such an environmental disaster should it happen. We could live to regret this decision because Limerick City and County Council will facilitate Aughinish like they have for decades in relation to bad planning that has destroyed our environment and put human health at risk. “Shame on our councillors who stayed silent on this reckless application,” Mr Geoghegan concluded. In granting planning permission, An Bord Pleanála said it considered that the development would not seriously injure the amenities of the area or of the property in the vicinity, would comply with the provisions of the Development Plan and would not be prejudicial to public health. “The proposed development would therefore be in accordance with the proper planning permission and sustainable development of the area,” the approval notice declared. ^ THE late Tom Considine, who passed away last week following a short illness at University Hospital Limerick, joined UL’s Governing Authority in December 2017 as nominee of the University of Limerick Foundation and was appointed Chairman of the Audit and Risk Committee. He was Secretary General of the Department of Finance from 2002 to 2006 and since 2006 served two three-year terms as President of the Institute of Public Administration. He also chaired the European Council Working Group that developed the legal Framework for the EURO. He is survived by his wife Olivia, daughter Mary-Clare and son Robert. Increased pensions ^ THE payment of increased pension entitlements to people who spent time out of the workforce for caring or parenting duties has been welcomed by Limerick Senator Maria Byrne. The changes will be implemented in the first quarter of 2019 and Senator Byrne said they will be particularly important for women, who have been worst affected by the old method of assessing pension entitlements.The Department of Social Protection is working on legislation to implement the new arrangements as well as a new information technology system to be developed in line with the legislation. Kildimo centre ^ FINE Gael councillor Stephen Keary has asked Limerick City and County Council about potential funding for a community centre in Kildimo. He expressed disappointment that the project had been “passed by” on a number of occasions. “Where’s it at now?” he asked the council executive. “The Local Community Development Committee is meeting this week. We will have an outcome after that,” Director of Social Development, Gordon Daly, replied. Fianna Fail councillor Kevin Sheahan also said he was anxious to see progress being made towards the provision of a community centre in Kildimo. |

| www.limerickpost.ie 14 | Saturday 8 December 2018 News More news @ www.limerickpost.ie Religion Pastoral units to compensate for lack of priests in Diocese by Tom McCullough A STRATEGY to deal with the decline in the number of priests and the need to promote greater lay involvement in the Catholic Church is set to emerge from the new ‘team ministry’ launched by the Diocese of Limerick last weekend. In a pastoral letter read out at all parishes across the diocese, Bishop Brendan Leahy said that the move, signalled in the 2016 Limerick Diocesan Synod, will see existing parishes arranged into pastoral units. Teams of clergy will minister in each unit but existing parish identity will be preserved. The new units will involve a number of parishes operating together, with two or three priests ministering together as a team to the pastoral needs of these parishes. Each of the priests will be a “co-Parish Priest” and will move around the pastoral unit, with different priests saying Masses in parishes week on week. The team ministry unit may Bishop Brendan Leahy also see one baptismal team for the whole unit offering preparation for parents bringing their child for baptism with the baptisms then taking place in the local parish church. There will be one pastoral council for each pastoral unit made up of members of each of the parishes of the unit. Each parish then will have its own smaller working group. In his pastoral letter, Bishop Leahy stated: “The main goal in establishing pastoral units and team ministry is greater co-operation between parishes. The hope is that there will be a greater critical mass of energy, competencies and lay volunteers at the service of a number of parishes. He said that the establishment of the Team Ministry Units was necessitated by the considerable decline in the number of priests, the increasing age profile of priests and increasing demands, bureaucratic and otherwise, on priests today. “It is clear that on a practical level, something needs to be done. “Our new arrangements are not just about responding to the decline in the number of priests. For the past fifty years, the Catholic Church had recognised that we need to work more in a team spirit. We need to promote arrangements that encourage greater co-operation and exchange between parishes,” Bishop Leahy explained.

| www.limerickpost.ie 16 | Saturday 8 December 2018 News Retail Christmas shoppers urged to spend locally by Andrew Carey andrew@limerickpost.ie LIMERICK people are being asked to spend locally this Christmas and support small businesses as the shopping season hits fever pitch. Amongst those making the call is Limerick Chamber chief executive Dee Ryan who said that Limerick shoppers could go long way to supporting the independent retailers of the city and county and in turn this would support jobs and businesses. The Irish Small Firms Association said that the strong economy and rising employment rates across the country will raise consumer spirits and enable greater spending power over this year’s busy Christmas shopping period. SFA director Sven Spollen-Behrens explained that “if each adult spent just €20 extra in small businesses this Christmas, this would amount to an injection of over €73 million for small Irish firms and would have a huge, positive impact on local jobs and the vibrancy of town and village centres. “Small business must take every opportunity to offer the widest possible range of goods at the most competitive prices if they are to attract as many Christmas shoppers as possible. Today’s shoppers are very value-conscious and there are great deals to be had in small businesses around the country. “Retail employs more people in Ireland than any other sector of the economy. Consumers should think about this when making their Christmas shopping decisions, as this time of year is make or break for many small retailers. We are calling on consumers to shop locally in small businesses and buy Irish products,” he said. Public services Progress on Ennis Road water leakage project by Alan Jacques alan@limerickpost.ie WORK on the replacement of 1.3km of old water mains and service pipe connections on the Ennis Road is expected to be completed by the end of January. The project, which is being undertaken in partnership with Limerick City and County Council, is being carried out as part of Irish Water’s Leakage Reduction Programme, which will see a €500 million investment over the next four years to tackle leakage in Ireland’s ageing water network. Irish Water contractors, Shareridge Ltd, are progressing with the Ennis Road project which extends from Jetland Junction to Union Cross. “Replacing these water mains and service connections will reduce the instances of bursts and water outages and ensure a reliable supply of water to customers and local businesses,” Irish Water’s Alan Morrissey explained. “This project will also play a key role in reducing the amount of clean drinking water lost to leakage, which will in turn help with the ongoing drive to conserve water and reduce the likelihood of restrictions during future droughts.” He said that removing old cast iron and lead pipes from the public water network and replacing them with new plastic pipes will reduce the risk of contamination and provide a safer overall drinking water supply. Further information on Irish Water’s Leakage Reduction Programme is available at www.water. ie More news @ www.limerickpost.ie Achievement Garda Youth Award for go-getter Sean by Bernie English bernie@limerickpost.ie NO ONE can accuse Pallasgreen teenager Sean Byrnes of saying “I can’t”. Despite being born with Spina Bifida, Sean’s motto is “All things are possible” and he proves that on a daily basis. In recognition of his fighting spirit, 14-year-old Sean was selected to receive a Garda Youth Award, presented to young people for outstanding feats of courage, achievement and community service. Sean has completed four Great Limerick Runs in his hand-power trike, improving on his time every year. But that’s just one of his many achievements. Said Sean: “In 2010 one evening when my dad and I were coming out of swimming, we saw activities going on in the sports hall. We went in to watch a group playing wheelchair basketball. I thought it was amazing and exciting at the same time. The intensity of the competition between both teams was fierce. I knew there and then this would be my next challenge”. Sean’s parents went on to help organise Limerick’s first junior wheelchair basketball club and the Irish Wheelchair Association Junior Blitz basketball tournament. “There would be 50 to 70 kids from all over Ireland including the North of Ireland. It was great to play and meet so many new teams where I made new friends,” said Sean Byrnes at the presentation of his Garda youth award and (below) indulging in his passion for scuba diving. Sean who went on to be awarded Irish Junior Wheelchair Basketball Blitz’s Best Young Player of the year. He is also a qualified scuba diver and has achieved his PADI certification, working with weights as he does not have use of his legs. He also swims and generally is very positive about living life despite any limitations, according to his father John, who is also co-chairperson of Spina Bifida Limerick. “He wanted to take part in the Great Limerick Run to raise awareness and to get the message out there not to give up,” said John. Sean crossed the finish line in one hour and 11 minutes and running at his side the whole way was his determined mum, Fiona. “She ran beside him all the way despite the fact that running is not her thing. She’s more into walking but they made it in great time.

The hugely successful digital platform, which was launched in April last year, is a one-stop-shop for information on living, working, visiting and doing business Limerick. It also offers seamless online access to the full range of Council services. The platform supports local businesses and events, with approximately 2,000 events listed each year and over 2,000 amenities listed on the site. Mayor James Collins said that the Limerick City and County Council head of marketing and communications Laura Ryan, and Limerick.ie web co-ordinator Orla O’Connor celebrate a million visitors to the website in 2018. success of the website was further evidence of the new Limerick; a city and county digitally connected with a platform that is becoming an exemplar at national level. “The Limerick.ie team deserves huge congratulations for this. They created the platform, put resources behind it, have worked it very hard and it’s proving a phenomenal success. “In its short lifetime it has already been named one of the top 25 Tourism websites in the world by Skift.com. It lists thousands of events for free every year and in doing so supports the citizens, businesses and communities of Limerick.” Council head of marketing and communications Laura Ryan said that their goal was to provide an online space for all aspects of Limerick life. “For example, we’re now focusing on what’s on in Limerick for Christmas, the events, the supports, the initiatives that the local authority has put on to make spending time in Limerick as festive and fun as possible. We will have the same type of focus on the St Patrick’s Festival, likewise as we approach Riverfest. “This week alone we’re launching a great new resource for Newcastle West hosted on Limerick.ie called NewcastleWest.ie – with comprehensive information about the area. We’re always looking for ways to connect with people and let them know the very special place that Limerick is and this is further evidence of that.” Head of Digital Strategy Dr Mihai Bilauca said: “When we launched Limerick.ie, our desire was to become the number one website for Limerick. Reaching a million visitors in one year shows that our strategy worked: create an exceptional platform for all users on all devices and especially mobile devices; focus on the delivery of integrated, co-ordinated and updated content. “We will continue to grow limerick. ie by integrating even more information about our local communities, new online services in My Limerick and distribute the content over new channels and content distribution networks such as in-vehicle infotainment systems,” he explained. |

The notorious governor of the conquered city, Colonel Henry Ingoldsby, did everything possible to make their life a misery. Franciscan priest Fr Conroy witnessed one Daniel Moloney’s ears being cut off by the public executioner for the crime of not denouncing a priest to the magistrates. Many other atrocities were so unspeakable that Fr Conroy could not mention them. Quakers also suffered greatly under this Draconian regime. An army officer, William Ames, a convert to Quaker beliefs, while speaking to the people, was violently arrested and committed to prison and after a few weeks was hauled out and taken to the main guard. Here Col. Ingoldsby “shamefully and cruelly beat him and caused him to be tied very hard to the neck and heels, and left in that position till the blood ran about him” (from the annals of J.R. Gough 1835). Sarah Bennett, whose husband commanded a troop of horse, was, on the Governor’s orders, committed to jail for several weeks, without her Friends being allowed visit her or to bring her food or bedding. On release, she and another Friend were sent to Cork as vagrants, to be banished. Undeterred by this persecution, such was the zeal of two Quakers, John Love and John Perrott, that they decided to make the arduous journey from Limerick to Rome to try and convert Pope Innocent X to their beliefs. The pair got off to an encouraging start when reaching Liverns, in Italy, where Perrot wrote a treatise on the Jews. They were examined by officers of the Inquisition “to whom they gave such satisfactory replies as to obtain dismission.” From thence they Social Democrats local election candidate for Limerick City North, Kieran Walsh has called on Limerick City and County Council to make all areas under its control free of single use plastics by 2024. The former councillor, who is running in the newly expanded City North district has said it is an issue he will campaign on over the coming months. “Local Authorities need to become industry leaders in this regard. It is very easy for them ^ THE Limerick Youth Centre are holding their annual Christmas Fair on Thursday, December 13 from 10am to 6pm, with a wide array of sweets and treats, designer clothes, brick-a- brack, toys and books. ^ LIMERICK Crime Prevention Officer Sergeant Ber Leetch has advised people to bring nothing of value with them when using a gym or other sporting facilities. “Leave your jewellery, wallet, purses and phones at home. I think most people can leave everything of value at homes except their phones. If you must bring something of value with you, make sure to put it in a locker. If a locker is not available, give the item to a trusted person to keep for you until your game or gym session is over,” said Sergeant Leetch. Get growing ^ COMMUNITY groups and voluntary organisations in Limerick have been invited to apply for a share of the €75,000 Energia ‘Get Ireland Growing’ fund which opened for applications this week. The January 18 deadline for applications will enable local groups to start or further develop a community food-growing project in their area. The fund will be split across three categories, ‘Sow’, ‘Grow’ and ‘Harvest’ with awards ranging from €500 to €2,000 with one group selected to receive the top award of €5,000.

The persecution of both Quakers and Catholics in Limerick and the country in general, lasted for years until Charles II was crowned king in 1671, followed by the Restoration, which, according to the Gough annals, “granted indulgences to dissenters from the established mode of worship, presenting gradually refined and more liberal sentiments prevailed amongst those in power.” ^ PLANS to help home owners in Corbally affected by Pyrite are progressing, according to Limerick Fine Gael Senator Maria Byrne. ”I have received confirmation from the Pyrite Resolution Board that they have requested independent sampling and testing be taken in the Meadows, Corbally. Pyrite in concrete blocks can have a devastating effect on a person’s home. The most effective remediation solutions suggested involve practically the removal of affected blockwork and the reconstruction of the houses. This clearly will involve considerable expense on homeowners. I welcome this confirmation from the Pyrite Resolution Board and I will look forward to working with residents further on this issue,” said Senator Byrne.

Love suffered the tortures of the Inquisition and died under them. Perrot, whose zeal knew no bounds, was sent to a madhouse, where he was allowed some liberty and wrote numerous books, addresses and epistles. His detention excited much sympathy in England and several Friends travelled to Rome to procure his freedom. He was eventually released in 1661, but on his return to England was received with some coldness.

Since the introduction of the levy, plastics bags account for 0.14 per cent of waste as opposed to five per cent in 2002. “I have written to the council to see what measures are currently being taken and how successful they have been. If elected, I will put forward a motion to withdraw single use plastics from the day-to-day operation of the local authority with a broader focus on encouraging and promoting the same values across the city and county. ^ THE European Commission has launched a second DiscoverEU competition whereby young people under 18 years of age can apply for a travel pass to discover Europe next summer.

| www.limerickpost.ie 22 | Saturday 8 December 2018 News More news @ www.limerickpost.ie Heritage Pery papers add another layer to Limerick’s colourful past by Tom McCullough news@limerickpost.ie LIMERICK Civic Trust has presented a cache of rarely seen historical papers to the Glucksman Library at the University of Limerick on behalf of the Pery Family. The recently discovered papers provide rich insight into the social, political and economical landscape of Limerick City and County from the 1500’s to the 1800’s. The papers were discovered by Sylvia Countess of Limerick in Sussex where they had been put aside by her father- in-law after he presented other papers of historical importance to the National Library in 1962. While much of the papers document the life and times of the Pery family which has links with Limerick going back to the early 17th century, they also provide context and evidence to many of the military actions during that time. Two volumes of handwritten correspondence between Edmund Sexten, who was Mayor of Limerick in 1535, and the authorities in Dublin and London provide a wealth of information about the activities of prominent families like the Sextens, Thomonds, O’Briens and Fitzgeralds. A forebearer of the Pery’s, Edmund Sexten became the representative of the Tudor monarch and a major local beneficiary of the dissolution of the monasteries in 1538. The Account and Commonplace book of Colonel Edmund Pery from 1671 and 1681 provides more commonplace insights into the daily concerns of that time. It includes a lengthy section on how to look after your horse and recipes and tips on how to get curly hair, get rid of unwanted hair, make cucumbers last the winter and keep wine fresh. The Glucksman Library at University At the handover of the Pery papers to the Glucksman Library were (from left) David O’Brien and Thomas Wallace O’Donnell, Limerick Civic Trust; Edmund Perry, the Earl of Limerick; Dr Des Photo: Keith Wiseman Fitzgerald, Ken Bergin and Gobnait O’Riordan, University of Limerick. The newly discovered material includes: Transcripts made by Edmond Sexten the younger (1594-1636) of correspondence by his grandfather who was Mayor of Limerick in 1535. Historical notices of the Sexten family and the city of Limerick from 1600’s. Abstracts and copies of records relating to the Sexten, Casey and Stackpoole families from late 1600’s. Book concerning County Limerick circa 1638. Edmund Pery’s Account and Commonplace book from 1671 to 1729. Tenement Valuation of the Estate of the Earl of Limerick in Counties Limerick, Cork and Clare in 1884 of Limerick will now archive and digitize the papers so that they are available to the public. Presenting the papers to the Glucksman Library, Edmund Pery, the Earl or Limerick, said, “We felt it was important that these papers are made available, at no cost, to anyone who has an interest in them and hope they support the research and work of historians and students. “The Glucksman Library is the most obvious place to look after them given they are 100 per cent about the city and county of Limerick. I would like to thank the Limerick Civic Trust for their encouragement and facilitation in bringing them back to where they belong.” Glucksman Library Director Gobnait O’Riordan said they were delighted to receive the early manuscript records of the Pery family in Ireland from the Earl of Limerick and his family. “It is our intention to catalogue and digitise the material. It will then be made available to all researchers in the UL Digital Library in an open access environment. The University of Limerick is grateful to the Pery family and to the Limerick Civic Trust for bringing these manuscripts to Limerick” Limerick Civic Trust has a long- standing relationship with the Glucksman Library and previously presented its Oral History Archive to the Library in 2015. Chief executive David O’Brien said that as part of their mandate to create a better understanding of Limerick’s heritage, they carry out a lot of research on unpublished material. “These papers are fascinating and provide another layer to Limerick’s rich and colourful past. We’re thrilled that they are going to the Glucksman Library to be protected, preserved and made accessible to everyone,” he added. Insight into life during Tudor times Among the highlights of the collection are some rare insights into politics and everyday life during Tudor times. Manuscript 1 This mainly comprises of transcripts made by Edmond Sexten the younger (1594- 1636) of letters and petitions (mostly in English, with some items in part or fully in Latin), which his grandfather Edmond Sexten the elder (1486-1555) had collected to defend himself against allegations that ‘my seruice to the kinge majestie is deemed … not to be such as did deserue the bountifull remuneration of his heighnes unto me’ and to prove that ‘my seruice was freely doone without receauinge wages or hire of the king majestie as others dothe’. Edmond Sexten the elder held the office of Mayor of Limerick in 1535 and was the first mayor of native Irish extraction. Manuscript 3 Abstracts and copies of records, relative to the Sexten, Casey and Stackpole Families. This manuscript comprises abstracts and copies of seventeen documents relating to the Sexten family; eight relating to the Casey family; and two to the Stackpole family. The earliest reference is to the 16th century. particularly relating to geography, topography, astronomy, physics, and mathematics.

| www.limerickpost.ie 24 | Saturday 8 December 2018 News Join the conversation: follow us on Road safety Take the bikes off the footpaths by Alan Jacques alan@limerickpost.ie THERE is an increasing problem of a small minority of cyclists using the footpaths and endangering pedestrians in Limerick City. That’s according to Fianna Fáil TD Willie O’Dea, who was knocked down by a cyclist on a footpath a couple of years back. He maintains that cycling on footpaths is now becoming a dangerous problem for pedestrians in Limerick. “I have witnessed cyclists even on O’Connell Street and William Street completely ignoring the law and cycling on footpaths and forcing people to make way for these cyclists. I have seen mothers with children and elderly people having to take action to avoid being hit by these reckless cyclists on footpaths in the city centre streets and throughout the city,” Deputy O’Dea told the Limerick Post. “I have been contacted by several people who have been knocked down or nearly knocked down by cyclists. I myself was knocked down by a cyclist on a footpath a couple of years back and the situation appears to be getting worse. “While I and everybody else welcome the increase in cycling for fitness and other benefits, there is a small careless minority who don’t give a damn about others as they weave in and out through pedestrians on public footpaths,” he claimed. The former Defence Minister believes that the Gardaí need to take stronger action against these people and maybe the traffic wardens might have a role to play in stamping out this increasingly dangerous practice.” One pedestrian who had a close encounter with a cyclist in the city recently said: “Walking from town up Edward Street, I was inches away from being run down by a cyclist on the pavement. This is a daily event. I watch elderly people “ There is a small careless minority who don’t give a damn about others as they weave in and out through pedestrians on public footpaths. Deputy Willie O’Dea having to jump out of the way of these idiots. Can we please enforce the law and stop this insanity? “I fully understand it is almost impossible to police, it just drives me insane. I think the ads on television asking drivers to be aware of cyclists need to include cyclists respecting pedestrians. Education is required here.” A spokesman for Limerick City and County Council said the local authority does not condone the use of footpaths by cyclists and urged them to use the roads or cycle lanes where available. “The Council encourages people to be more active and health conscious. As part of this, a network of bicycle lanes have been constructed. This network is not yet complete and the need for cycle lanes will form part of the new transport strategy for Limerick. “If people are concerned, they should contact their local Garda station and alert them to the issue,” the spokesman added. Community Bringing new life to Limerick’s graveyards Sculpture conservator Eoghan Daltun speaking at the Limerick Burial Ground Awards at the Rathkeale House Hotel. Photo: Marie Keating by Alan Jacques alan@limerickpost.ie REILIG na Trionóide, Templeglantine and Ahnid Burial Ground near Croom, have been selected as overall winners of this year’s Limerick City and County Council’s Burial Ground Awards. The awards are divided into two categories, ancient and modern, with individual winners selected for the three operational areas, which cover the whole of Limerick – Operations North, Operations South and Operations West. Voluntary parish committees, community councils, groups and individuals from across Limerick participated in the eleventh annual awards scheme, which is organised by the Council’s Community Development Department. Speaking at the awards presentation, Deputy Mayor Michael Collins said the local authority was very thankful for the hard work and commitment of groups and associations as well as individuals across Limerick who, day in day out, week in week out maintain their local burial grounds. “Everyone is deeply thankful for the time and effort that you all spend in the upkeep of the burial grounds,” he added. Director of Services Gordon Daly said that with an increasing interest in genealogy and family history research, ancient burial grounds are an invaluable source of information. “A particular word of thanks to all those who care for and record these important parts of our heritage to ensure that this information will be available to future generations. I want to express our thanks to all the committees represented tonight. Your hard work is greatly appreciated and it is just one of the many ways that you contribute to your communities on a voluntary basis,” said Mr Daly. Acknowledgements were also given to Limerick Civic Trust, Ballyhoura Development and West Limerick Resources who run the Rural Social Scheme Programme. “The workers on these schemes along with TUS and Community Employment Schemes play an important role in the maintenance of our graveyards and also the historic monuments contained within them,” Mr Daly added. law link Your questions IF you have a legal query that you would like answered you can email lawlink@ alexoneill.ie or send your query to Alex O’Neill Solicitors, 22 Barrington Street, Limerick.

Our home is fully paid off, we have a lump sum from an inheritance as well as our own savings. Our only son is doing well for himself, but we want to make sure that we plan for the future properly, and not expose him to a big tax bill when the inevitable happens. A. Ensuring that you plan properly for the beneficiaries of your estate is tremendously important. Critically, you must ensure your wills are up to date, reflect your wishes, and pass on your assets to your son with the minimum possible tax burden. Capital Acquisitions Tax (CAT) applies in a gift or inheritance to a child who is entitled to inherit or be gifted €320,000 from both of their parents over the child’s lifetime. Any gift or inheritance over this figure will be subject to CAT, and taxed at a rate of 33%. The first €3,000 of any gift is not counted, but the full value of an inheritance is. This would apply to all your assets. If your home was valued at €300,000 and your savings and other assets at €200,000, your son might be faced with a tax bill of almost €60,000. There are some exemptions with regard to your home, but that would entail your son living in the home and not having any other property. The first €3,000 of a gift given during your lifetime is exempt from CAT. You could gift your son, say, €10,000 a year. The first €3,000 would be exempt from CAT, and the balance would eat into his lifetime CAT threshold. There are other options. You could discuss putting the property into your own and your son’s names now. Stamp duty would apply (currently 1% of the value of the property) and if no funds were changing hands, he might potentially be liable for CAT – again depending on value. There are a number of policies to help alleviate tax burdens. The most common is a ‘Section 72’ policy. You would pay an annual premium to cover a potential CAT liability on your son’s behalf. However, these policies have no encashment value and need to be carefully considered. The best way to move forward is very much dependent on your circumstances, your assets and your overall situation. You should discuss all options with your solicitor. |

City Regions Ireland is a new group bringing together the Chambers of Commerce of Cork, Dublin, Galway, Limerick and Waterford. At the meeting with Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government Eoghan Murphy to launch the new group, Limerick Chamber chief executive Dee Ryan outlined key issues pertaining to the Limerick region including the rejuvenation of Limerick city centre, housing, public transport and air connectivity at Shannon. She said the rejuvenation of Limerick city centre “is at the top of our agenda”. “This is very much underpinned already by Limerick City and County Council’s €9.1million O’Connell Street revitalisation, iconic projects like the Opera Site and Gardens International but we definitely need Minister Eoghan Murphy (centre) with City Regions Ireland members (from left) Dave Hickey, Galway Chamber; Thomas McHugh, Cork Chamber; Mary Rose Burke, Dublin Chamber; Dee Ryan, Limerick Chamber and Gerald Hurley, Waterford Chamber. Photo: Conor McCabe to look at other initiatives and incentives.” Regarding housing in the city, Ms Ryan commented: “One of our biggest challenges is to deliver high- quality city centre dwelling but at the same time balance that with the need to preserve the best of Georgian architecture. Looking at the uptake of the Living City initiatives, that’s a balance that has not been achieved yet. So, this whole area needs to be revisited through a mix of looking at planning requirements and the incentives packages together. At the moment, it is cost-prohibitive and we need to bridge the gap.” The City Regions group will work for the common goal of ensuring the country’s five cities are developed sustainably and to support a population projected in the National Planning Framework to grow by 25 per cent in Dublin and 50 per cent in the other four cities by 2040. As part of their collaborative effort, the five city chambers have formulated eight principles spanning infrastructure, housing and planning to inform policy making, maximise growth, and tackle the common issues and opportunities in the larger urban regions. the Plant Specialists Serving quality home-cooked food Open 7 days a week Specialists in Medical Negligence & Personal Injury Actions Contact our experienced team to discuss your case.

James Harden The Avenue Adare. A good letter Sir, I wish to thank Dr Sinead Ryan for her letter (Limerick Post, November 24) in which she holds fast to the terms of her profession to ‘do no harm’ to another human being. I congratulate her and many like her who are not attracted by the substantial reward of €450 offered by Simon Harris to doctors who will terminate life as opposed to the €325 offered to provide life-giving maternity care. It cheered me up just to read her letter. Integrity in a morally challenged climate keeps hope alive which is something very lacking in the Ireland of today. Antoinette Fitzgibbon via email. No compassion Sir, I am writing in response to a letter, titled ‘No Compassion’ (Limerick Post, December 1). I am disappointed, but not surprised that such close-minded and non-progressive people remain proudly vocal in this country, with no intent of expanding their world view. This letter depicts a man we all know too well – one afraid change, and one afraid of reality. If, for a moment, we forget the concerns expressed around current abortion legislation, the more disconcerting view expressed is one of bafflement. Your letter writer seems unable to grasp the concept of a non-traditional pregnancy. Referring to the proposal to remove the word ‘woman’ from abortion legislation, he writes: “[this] in essence gives the impression that our deluded politicians think that men can become pregnant. This makes one wonder what planets are those individuals on.” The existence of transgender persons is not a new phenomenon. Theirs is a struggle for rights and recognition that is prevalent in today’s politics, and in many parts of the world has become the most prevalent issue in LGBT+ communities. A transgender male may decide to utilise his assigned reproductive organs to conceive a facebook/ twitter Val’s wonderland ACCORDING to Bernie English in last week’s Limerick Post, if there is an opposite to the Grinch who stole Christmas, it is Val Holmes. For 44 years, Val has been creating whimsical worlds of wonder to delight generations of children who have stood at the windows of Todds and now Brown Thomas, their eyes aglow, all words lost in a tumble of teddies, lights, fairies and snow scenes. This year’s display will be his last as he is retiring with every intention of travelling the world.

Similarly, a person who identifies as non binary may decide to go through with pregnancy. In both cases, this would prove to be a debilitating, dysphoric and humiliating experience. What should be a precious and beautiful journey would be marred by internal conflict and external prejudice. Why would anyone wish to make an already difficult experience more gruelling, for the sake of a word? Apparently one man’s compassion for life ceases when it leaves the womb. Aimee Wells Castletroy. Soldier’s story Sir, Imagine you were born in 1892, a younger son on a five acre tenant farm. You would be sent to the nearby National school to learn your ABC, and a little arithmetic, after which your education would be nearly, but not quite, complete. Your further education would consist of what was preached from the pulpit, and what you learned in the pub from men who could hardly write their names. The world would not have a great deal of use for you. A few odd jobs, and an occasional day’s work would enable you to visit the pub now and again. You might need to count your pennies before going in. Your arithmetic would be up to that as as the number of coins wouldn’t amount to much. If you were lucky, or perhaps unlucky, the recruiting sergeant would come to your rescue. His proposal would be to sign a legally binding contract to join the army when called upon, and in return, he would give you a shilling, with which you could buy six pints! And so… you’d take the shilling, like many other young fellas. There was no war until 1910, and very little likelihood of being called up. Your miserable existence would continue with its boredom, its up and downs, and its poverty. There would be plenty of funerals to attend. TB, and other ailments were sweeping thousands; life expectancy then was 49 compared to 78 at present. With the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, the postman would bring you a call up notice. You might not be enthusiastic about joining up but you were legally obliged to, as a consequence of your bad thirst. Life in the army could hardly be any worse than your current way of life and might even be better. You would have more money for beer and if stationed in Clonmel, or Mallow, there would be little to do other than frequenting the local pubs. On being presented with your army training Sir, “This will be my 10th Late Late Toy Show”, said the captain as he tried to steer the nation’s public broadcasting ship through the rough terrain of a saturated Friday night prime time slot. I feel a little perspective is called for here. The flagging Late Late show has been losing huge viewership numbers in recent years and is desperate to win them back. It’s airing schedule of 9.30pm is way past children’s bed time and its content usually is really not suitable for children. One has only to refer to the Valentine’s night edition and the tsunami of negative feedback from an outraged public referring to a programme that has lost its moral compass. Wave after wave of complaints referring to gross indecency, filthy language and a programme that no longer has any semblance of dignified boundaries. Why, you might ask, is the toy show even associated with the Late Late show? At the helm, the commander-in-chief oversees and engages in what can only be described as an orgy of indulgence, something associated more with the boom years. More than half the population are earning below the average industrial wage. We have a crisis in housing and record numbers of children who will be lucky to have a Christmas dinner this year – some will be having it in a hotel room. Let’s not kid ourselves here; this programme isn’t about anyone else but the Captain himself. Self-preservation at any cost. A toy show with no children in the audience? Come on!! The majority of toys featured anyway are beyond the reach of most children. I’m afraid the toy show is just another theme show like the Valentines and the Country & Western gimmicks, used like a fishing trawler to make a catch. When we seep through the veneer, we see what was once a family oriented show now adrift of ideas and makeovers in a bid to maintain its relevancy, reduced to floating debris and rotten pieces of driftwood.

Alan Jaques presents a selection of readers’ reaction to the articles featured on our website www.limerickpost.ie Our readers took to social media to express their views. ‘Since I was a child Todds window has always been a big part of the festive spirit, well done that man,” Caroline Clarke- Browne posted. “I always brought my children into see Todds Christmas window, the displays were brilliant. Thanks Val, enjoy your retirement well deserved,” said Dolores Healy Whelan. “Always used to look forward to seeing Todds’ Xmas window and going to see Santa there as a child, it was such a treat. Didn’t realise that the same person was responsible for the windows all this time. Thank you for all the great Christmas memories and enjoy your retirement,” Noelle O’Mahony commented. Val Holmes “Todds Xmas windows were just simply magical. Thank you for the Xmas memories,” was Sonya Burke’s message. “Have very fond recollections of the annual trip to Todds at Christmas to see the windows! Thank you for all the happy childhood memories!” Grainne Dennison posted. “Love the windows this year especially the one with the Robin. Beautiful work Val,” Eimear Murphy added. “Well done Val. You have created 44 years of magic for Limerick, always with a smile on your face,” said Erica Bayliss. “Love Todds window since I was a child, the wonder and awe of it, its just magical,” Alison Kelly posted. “Well done Val you are fantastic at your job, one of a kind, unique,” Caroline Christie declared. |

Coffee Morning Friday 7th December 10.30 - 12.30 City Hall, Limerick Supporting Seamus Hennessy Running for Josie Campaign in the Antartic Ice Marathon Target €200,000 in aid of two Irish Suicide Awareness charities Pieta House and Living Links Limerick Please Support Cllr SEAN LYNCH Fianna Fail Telephone: 085 1171254 Email: sean.lynch@limerick.ie by Bernie English LITTLE Caoimhe Lynch is the light of her family’s life, having beaten all the odds, arriving seven weeks prematurely, weighing little more than a bag of sugar. She’s now worth her weight in gold to University Maternity Hospital Limerick (UMHL) which has been benefitting from her fundraising efforts as Caoimhe and her family light up Christmas every year in aid of the hospital’s neo-natal unit. Parents, Lorraine and Kevin started lighting up their home for fun but since Caoimhe was born in 2010 High Gloss Walnut Laminate Flooring g14.95 sq yd www.thecarpetstoreandmore.ie weighing just 2lbs 5oz, they have transformed it into a popular fundraiser. The hundreds of cheery Christmas lights and blow moulds that brighten their home six kilometres from O’Rourke’s Cross and close to the Bruff line have attracted visitors from all over the country. Last year, the light show raised €3,000 for the neo-natal unit and now the lights have been switched on again as the display lights up the sky between 5pm and 10pm each night until January 6. “Unless you’ve had a child in the unit, you really don’t know what it’s about. We set up a little display in our shed to show people the amazing work the unit does,” said Lorraine. The display includes some of the tiny nappy sizes worn by newborn Caoimhe to show how little she was and pictures from the unit while she was there. “She was so small I had to shop for clothes for her in Smyths toyshop,” Lorraine told the Limerick Post. “Then my sister-in-law Mary started knitting for her, which was fantastic”. This year, the Lynchs threw the switch on almost 500 displays, including light features and light-up blow moulds. The entire light-up adds around €250 to the household bills but the cost is much less than it might be as the Lynch’s replaced every ordinary bulb in their display with LEDs. The family leaves buckets out for people to donate. “On behalf of Caoimhe’s Christmas lights, we would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who comes to see our display over Christmas and to everyone who gives so generously to our cause,” said Lorraine. “We are situated just off the Bruff line aound 6km from O’Rourkes cross towards Newcastle West. Turn left at the fifth crossroads and we are first house on the left hand side. “Just follow the glow in the sky,” she suggests helpfully. |

The schools won the Junior and Senior county categories of the ‘Someone Like Me’ competition, which aims to promote disability awareness among primary school students, and to highlight the similarities that exist within people of all abilities. Now an annual initiative, ‘Someone Like Me’ promotes inclusion and positive attitudes towards all persons, allowing children to learn about and discuss these topics and creatively express what they have learned through art and craft. The entry from Catherine McAuley School named as Junior County Winner, was a model of Big Ben which featured a working clock, which the Junior infant class created. The entry from St Patrick’s Girls National School, named as Senior County Winner, was ‘We can still be friends no matter what!’, from 5th class pupil Kleja Giedrikaite. The drawing depicted a group of Students from the Catherine McAuley School with some of their prizewinning art work friends with varying abilities and featured messages promoting respect, kindness and inclusivity for all. Congratulating the Limerick pupils, Minister of State with special responsibility for disabilities, Finian McGrath said: “More than 600,000 people in Ireland have a disability, open to the public The Empty Glass Wine Bar Wine & Dine and children under 15 make up 53,000 of that figure.

City Shannon Street for Clohessy Minihane Solicitors “ Clohessy Minihane are delighted to announce the appointment of Margaret O’Brien as commercial and property solicitor. Hugh Clohessy, Kate Freney, Des Clohessy, Margaret O’Brien, Cathal Minihane, and Ber Murphy C lohessy Minihane Solicitors have moved recently to new offices at No. 5 Shannon Street, Limerick. According to the founding partners of the firm, Cathal Minihane and Hugh Clohessy, the move was necessitated by the continued expansion of their business and the further growth of their team and the firm as a whole. Their 2018 offices are in a prime city centre location, allowing ease of access for their clients with parking in nearby Harvey’s Quay and Howley’s Quay car parks. Cathal Minihane says the firm is delighted to have located to a central location in the heart of the city’s commercial district and that the move will contribute to the continued vibrancy of the street. Hugh Clohessy believes that the city centre location gives greater visibility to their business.

| www.limerickpost.ie 40 | Saturday 8 December 2018 News More news @ www.limerickpost.ie Social media Website uncovers Newcastle West’s hidden gems by Tom McCullough news@limerickpost.ie EVERYTHING that County Limerick’s largest town has to offer is featured in a new website that provides a global platform for Newcastle West. NewcastleWest.ie is a collaboration between Limerick City and County Council and the Newcastle West Development Association who mapped out what was needed for the website in terms of its content and how it can remain relevant into the future. Hosted on Limerick.ie, NewcastleWest. ie features comprehensive information on where to stay, things to do, food and drink, history and heritage, fashion and retail, sports and recreation, clubs and organisations and how to get to Newcastle West. Users are engaged through imagery, videos and content specific to Newcastle West, its surrounding countryside and the greater Limerick area. They have full access to content on NewcastleWest. ie as well as content across the Limerick. ie platform. The Development Association is responsible for ensuring the content is up-to-date, accurate and relevant while the Council’s Marketing and Communications department is responsible for creating, editing and publishing the content to Limerick.ie as Linda O’Donovan, Deputy Mayor Michael Collins, Vicki Nash, Orla O’Connor, John Hunt, Seamus Hunt, Angelika Kulisz, Triona Dore, Jamie Dore and Kenneth Daly at the launch of NewcastleWest.ie Photo: Marie Keating well as providing website hosting service.Hundreds of people gathered in the LongCourt House Hotel last Monday night for the official launch of NewcastleWest.ie which Deputy Mayor Michael Collins described as a website worthy of the town and its community. “What is important is that it has been created in conjunction with the people of Newcastle West. It also supports a number of key recommendations of the Newcastle West Vision 2023 plan that will guide the development of the county town over the next five years.” The site was launched by Minister of State Patrick O’Donovan who said that, as a native of Newcastle West and a former Minister for Tourism, he was delighted that the website would build on the town’s development as a destination location. “Over the last few years we have seen a large amount of public and private sector investment into the town, and the new website will be an important tool in helping us move the town forward with all the stakeholders community, voluntary, business and state agencies working together,” he added. NewcastleWest area Director Gordon Daly, said the new site was a great example of how Limerick City and County Council is working with towns to provide a cost effective web presence for communities to promote themselves to the wide audience on Limerick.ie. “Up until now Limerick.ie has an online town profile for each of the larger towns in Limerick including the county town, but this is the first time we have collaborated with local groups to build tailored and dedicated content based on the knowledge that only the local community can provide.” Seamus Hunt of the Newcastle West Development Association said they hoped that the people of the town would submit news, listings, information, events, blogs and features as the website’s success would be determined by how local people embrace it.

This follows confirmation that Limerick City and County Council is working with Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) and JC Decaux to provide shelters with the bus stops on the Dublin Road near the Groody Roundabout, on Groody Link Road outside Northern Trust, and opposite The Hurlers Bar have been ranked as a high priority. “These bus stops are very busy and it is quite distressing to witness especially elderly and young children being soaked to the skin during bad weather while waiting for the bus to arrive,” Cllr Secas told the Limerick Post. She started a campaign for bus shelters10 years ago and pointed out that a decade later some bus stops are still without shelters, “with some stops being lethal especially during bad weather”. “The bus stops on the Groody Link Road, in particular, have no safe place to wait for the bus or to cross the road safely. “I am calling on the council to provide proper road infrastructure for the bus stops on the Groody Link Road before another accident happens. If we are serious about encouraging more people to avail of public transport then we need to invest in the necessary infrastructure such as proper bus stops,” she added.

| www.limerickpost.ie advertorial Saturday 8 December 2018 | 43 Bakehouse 22 open 7 days a week at Nicholas Street CONGRATULATIONS to Nicholas Street on the launch of Bakehouse 22, the stylish new café, deli and bakery opened by the street’s Mike and Sheelagh Tracey. Welcoming customers every day from breakfast through lunch into afternoon teas and meals, there is an emphasis on healthy foods, delicious meals with everything made in-house, from breads to salads to hot dinners. T he aromas are fabulous from Bakehouse 22 now open on Nicolas Street, Limerick. Furthermore, the bakery here makes cakes, breads, pastries and celebration cakes for external catering as much as the café – not forgetting a significant Christmas offer of Yule logs, mince pies, cheesecakes and rich fruit cakes, iced or not. An in-house dietician is also on hand to complement all menu options. Enquire about our Christmas Hampers - made to order in-store. Stylish joint LOOKING around the large 1,500 sq ft footprint for Bakehouse 22 alone (bakery, storage and offices are adjacent), it is clear that a designer’s eye has stamped character and comfort on the venue. Mike and Sheelagh invoked family member Michelle Twomey of Serene Design to design a warm but gritty environment of red brick walls, hung tungsten bulbs, a glass wall to historic Nicholas Street and plenty of room between tables. Chairs are comfy. Michelle is a professional and her eye for colour and texture for this customer-friendly ambience got it right. Better still, the Traceys decided on table service to further enhance our experience of grazing and lunching on lovely grub here. Staff numbers are high, you won’t be waiting. Enjoy watching the world go by here at medieval Limerick, all sorts of interesting, interested parties to King John’s Castle, Thomond Bridge, Limerick Masonic Centre and St Mary’s Cathedral mixing it up with locals. It’s nice, that casual and Continental vibe that manages to be pure Limerick. Bakehouse 22 had the pleasure of working with Francis and John Brennan from RTE’s ‘At Your Service’ and look forward to the new series that airs in April. You will see for yourself the transition and journey undertaken by Mike and Sheelagh. We now cater for all your corporate needs - office lunches, private parties with free delivery. Call us for a quote on 061 415729. What’s on the menu? OPEN the 9.30am to 5pm day with a late and lazy breakfast served into 12.30pm: be it the full Irish or a move to vegan lifestyle with avocado toast or a platter of fruit, Bakehouse 22 will make you happy. Divine Smokin’ Beans coffee or fruit/ green teas make even a scone and butter taste amazing. Remember that everything is made from scratch here, the pastries, even coleslaw for your BLT, the hams, turkey, and chicken are cooked and carved at Bakehouse 22. These are both served in the deli and café and sourced from local suppliers. These meats are cooked in-house and so are top quality with fully developed flavour. Sunday lunch PULL up to Bakehouse 22 if you value a home-cooked Sunday roast with all the trimmings. Go for mains here at just €12, be that roast stuffed chicken or pork or prime beef. If three courses appeal, appetiser choices are roast root veg soup or creamy vol au vents. Finish the whole lot off with apple crumble or sticky toffee pud. €20 for all and served late from an early 12noon lunch bell on Sundays. Delightful. Sheelagh steers the food. “I did a course with Blathnaid Bergin (Darina Allen’s sister) who trains in Ballymaloe and we make our salads after really interesting models such as Avoca foods.

And they highlighted the rewards and challenges of establishing new enterprises in the SportsTech sector at a recent event hosted by Network Ireland Limerick and supported by the Limerick Local Enterprise Office (LEO). Grainne Barry, Martina Skelly and Emily Ross, who are co-founders of SportsTech Ireland, shared their collective and individual experiences of running their own business and what it takes to be an entrepreneur. All three agreed on the importance of having a clear mission statement and values. “Know what you want, narrow down the people you need to meet and be specific in your asks and your objectives,” said Gráinne Barry, EMEA Operations Director, SportsTech Ireland founders Emily Ross, Grainne Barry and Martina Skelly. Photo: Paul Mullins with Limerick -based STATS Data and Technology Ltd. She was joined at the event by Martina Skelly, Co-founder and chief executive of software company YellowSchedule and Emily Ross, founder and chief executive of OPTEL GROUP COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT RECOGNISED BY LIMERICK CHAMBER AWARDS THE OPTEL GROUP was winner of the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) category at this year’s Limerick Chamber Regional Business Awards, which honours businesses that operate with success and distinction in the Mid West. Among the initiatives undertaken by OPTEL employees over the past year, was the Back to School for Barnardos initiative, which involved donations of stationery and school supplies to children in need; painting and revamping four classrooms at Gaelscoil Sairseal in Roxboro and raising funds for the Special Olympics. OPTEL’s Limerick plant is the base for the multinational company’s entry into Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Since 2014, the Limerick facility has grown significantly expanding to 100 employees, with further growth expected in 2019. According to plant manager Michael Broughton, the company wants to make a positive impact on the region and they do this by providing quality employment and using their influence and resources for the common good. “We are committed to promoting sustainability, which is why OPTEL Ireland has spent the past three years developing its leadership team to focus not only on the technical aspects of successfully exceeding the demands of the market, but on encouraging the spread of the OPTEL culture within the Mid-West’s business ecosystem. “Since we established our CSR committee in 2015, we have been very active both on site and in the local community. All our staff get involved in CSR activities in some form. Our CSR strategy is broken down into three distinct areas - Sustainable Development (Environment); Sustainable Health and Community involvement. “Initially we focused a lot on fundraising but 18 optelgroup.com (061) 480 965 Raheen Business Park, Limerick Dermot Graham, Martin Leonard and Kevin O’Sullivan receiving the Chamber award on behalf of the Optel Group. months ago we took a decision to utilise our skills and donate more of our time to our charity partners. Our strategy for 2019 will be similar and we will be expanding our community involvement by rewarding those who are involved in their community. “Without dedicated staff, none of this is possible. Winning awards acknowledges their hard work and achievements, so the Chamber award will boost morale and improve motivation. Employees are focused on what’s great about the company they work for and can feel proud to be a part of it. “For those thinking of applying next year, my advice would be to maximise their contribution to the community and the application will take care of itself,” he concluded. InkVine Consultants in a fireside chat facilitated by Gillian Horan of Limerick branding agency, The Pudding. According to Emily Ross, the opportunities for start-ups in the SportsTech sector are huge. “Data and the interpretation of data is hugely important in all sports and there are plenty of opportunities to exploit that and develop innovative products,” she explained. The three entrepreneurs also highlighted the importance of having mentors and advisory panels with specialist expertise to guide start-up businesses on their journey and to provide a sounding board. Network Ireland Limerick President Valerie Murphy said it was particularly encouraging to hear the emphasis on mentoring. “This is something that Network Ireland has really focused on in the last year and provides a free mentoring programme for all members. All three speakers caught the imagination of everyone at the event. Their openness and honesty about their highs and lows was refreshing and insightful. ” Network Ireland Limerick provides a forum where women in business, the professions and the Arts can exchange business ideas and increase their business contacts. Limerick companies in Google programme by Alan Jacques alan@limerickpost.ie LIMERICK-based startups are among the strong mix of regional and Dublin-based companies currently taking part in Google’s Adopt A Startup programme. The 26 Irish startups, and four European startups started an intensive 12-week mentoring programme by industry experts and an exclusive programme of lectures and workshops last September at the company’s EMEA Headquarters in Dublin. This year, there are companies taking part in the Adopt A Startup programme that operates across a wide variety of sectors including technology, beauty, educational, entertainment and recruitment. The Limerick startups involved in the programme include jumpAgrade (www.jumpagrade.com) and NoPlaceLike (www.noplacelike.co/). Google Ireland Director Paddy Flynn said the Adopt A Startup programme has gone from strength to strength over past number of years and is now recognised as a platform where scaling companies can come and develop their business strategies with hands-on support and advice from our top class mentors. “We believe it’s important to foster entrepreneurial talent wherever it happens and we’re delighted to be doing that for the sixth year in a row with this programme,” he added. At the end of the 12-weeks, eight startups will get the opportunity to showcase their results from the programme and pitch their business to the panel of judges which includes senior members of Google Ireland’s leadership team and prominent figures from the Irish startup community. The winning startup will receive €10,000 in AdWords credit as well as eligibility for the Google Cloud programme which comes with $100,000 Google Cloud credit. Personal Injury claims damaging businesses by Alan Jacques alan@limerickpost.ie THE trend in personal and business insurance premiums has been described as “out of control’ by Sarah Jane Hennelly of the Social Democrats. The surge in prices has seen personal motor insurance prices increase 33.5 per cent, and business premiums increase 29.6 per cent since 2011, the Limerick general election candidate pointed out. Hennelly has highlighted a number of factors contributing to increased costs, in particular the level of payouts for minor injuries acting as an incentive to would-be claimants. “Compensation for a soft tissue injury is 4.4 times higher in Ireland than the UK, with the average payout in 2017 €17,338. If we are so out of step with our nearest neighbour, it’s time to reflect on the situation, and examine the incentives for personal injury claims in Ireland,” Sarah Jane said this week. She also points out that it is not corporations or insurance companies who ultimately bear these costs, but communities and small businesses. “Local businesses are struggling to meet insurance costs, amenities are being shut off to the public due to stricter public liability terms, eligible drivers are being priced out of car ownership. In the last council budget, it emerged that the bill for insurance had increased by a staggering €3 million since 2015. These increased costs will be paid by our community, either in cuts to services or rate hikes.” The level of payouts, she believes, show that there is no common sense applied in these rulings, and no consideration for the adverse impact they have on the public who suffer with higher premiums, or business closure and unemployment. “This is not about individual claims – this is about the bigger picture of the industry and the fundamental flaws which have emerged throughout the years.” |

Milano opened a second restaurant located in the Crescent Shopping Centre on November 22. Inspired by a love of real Italian pizza, Milano has been pioneering delicious handmade pizza in Ireland since opening its first restaurant in Dublin back in 1995. Quality ingredients, fresh dough hand-stretched right in front of your eyes, care and flair in every step. From your favourite American Hot, freshly baked and still steaming, to the iconic and irresistibly hot and fluffy dough balls, no one does it quite like Milano. The latest restaurant has garnered a lot of attention with a recent promotional pizza giveaway attracting so many entrants, that the queue snaked a queue out of the restaurant, stretching back deep into the shopping centre car park. A countdown to the opening competition on the Crescent’s Facebook page also saw unprecedented levels of interest. David Dillon, country manager for Milano Restaurants Ireland, said: “We are thrilled to have opened our latest flagship venue in the Crescent Shopping Centre. “This new restaurant further strengthens our long standing connection with Limerick and enables us to welcome even more residents with our unique mix of great food, warm hospitality and memorable experiences.” The new restaurant will create up to 35 jobs and is being managed by Eileen Condron. Eileen is seen as a rising star within the business, having been with Milano since 2013 and excelling across a variety of roles. Milano Limerick Crescent features their trademark central oven, comfortable banquette seating and framed booths offering a view into the bustle of the kitchen. A curated mix of photography and bespoke graphical prints are hung together to form clusters of art inspired by the fashion industry. FUNDRAISER Artwork features imagery from the 1960s, through to the current day. The collection also celebrates Limerick’s own Celia Holman Lee. Often described as ‘Ireland’s most successful model’, Celia has had an amazing career and Milano is delighted to be able to showcase photographs from her personal archive. The new restaurant is gearing up for a busy Christmas period, providing the perfect setting for you to gather around the table with friends, family and colleagues and celebrate the good times over great food. Highlights from their Christmas menu include the new festive pizza, La Festiva, topped with succulent turkey and festive stuffing. For dessert, try their iconic Snowball Dough Balls, the famous Milano dough balls dusted with cinnamon and served with your choice of fruit coulis, salted caramel or vanilla cream dip.

| www.limerickpost.ie Saturday 8 December 2018 | 55 Home & Style more news @ www.limerickpost.ie Decor Designing a room with colour IF YOU asked any interior designer what the single most important aspect of room decoration is, they would all tell you the same thing – clever and appropriate use of colour. Colour is not just a way to ensure things match. It is how we create mood and the right atmosphere for a room. It is also how we can reflect our moods. The colours we choose for our living and working spaces are extremely important. Using the wrong tones really can affect how the room is used, enjoyed and whether it is comfortable or not. Here are some examples that will illustrate how such choice can help you to transform living and working spaces. It is advice that comes straight from a leading interior designer and is based upon tried and tested methods for using colour in the interior of a home or commercial space. If you are decorating a room in your home, before picking a colour which follows fashion, why not consider a colour palette that complements your own taste, the mood you want to create and the size of the room? Colours can be placed into two basic groups – warm colours like reds, oranges, and browns. And colder colours, the blues, purples and greens. However, any pick can be made to look warmer or cooler depending upon the effect you are trying to achieve. If you have a large room - which can have a tendency to look barren and cold - using a darker, warm colour will make it feel cosier at night, and more inviting in daylight. For example, a deep golden shade with a warm creamy neutral and a deep red accent will give a large room a spacious but warm feel to it. If you have a small dingy and dark room with no light, a cooler colour can open up the space and make it feel airier and more spacious. Shades of green will reflect the light that does come in and a very light ceiling will make the space look much bigger too. The use of neutral colours is still popular for homes and work spaces. Neutral colours give you more scope to add accent colours, either on wood, art-work and accessories, feature walls or in fabric for curtains and upholstery.

Located adjacent to Shannon airport runway. improve how your bathroom looks, you have to think of the things that you need to change. You may need to remove old items present inside the room. There may also be a need for you to add some new fixtures of accessories. At times, there are some important bathroom fixtures not in place: door hooks, vent, towel radiator, locked medicine cabinet. Adding them into your bathroom can easily answer most of your problems. The right bathroom furniture and fixtures will significantly matter. Therefore, you have to be careful about which items you are going to get. You need to choose between getting a product for a cheap price and getting a product because of its quality. Also, you need to take into account that product’s design and compatibility with the other things present in your bathroom. Determine whether you need a bathtub or a shower stall. Some bathrooms lack the right vanity set. Also, there are owners who feel the need to add a small stool and table inside the bathroom. Such additions may be appropriate in big bathrooms. Be careful not to have too many furniture and fixtures present in the bathroom. You have to decide which ones you will include and which ones you will remove. If you only have a very small bathroom space to work with, you have to make use of that space wisely. Get appropriately sized furniture. You also have to arrange it in the best way possible; take advantage of the available vertical space. You can install shelves above or below your vanity sets. You may also have hooks and similar items installed on the walls. These can serve as additional storage spaces for your bathroom items. Ventilation and illumination are two more factors that you need to take care of. There should be proper ventilation inside the bathroom. This can be achieved if you have a sizeable window. This window should be enough to provide good ventilation as well as illumination in the bathroom without compromising your privacy. Using exhaust fans can also help improve the circulation of air in the room. Remember that in addition to a dry bathroom, a well-lit one can help prevent the growth of these potentially dangerous fungi. You can achieve proper lighting with natural light. You may also want to make use of more than one artificial overhead lamp inside the bathroom.

Stress levels can rise with the search for a convenient parking space and research by mobility solutions specialist, easytrip, the electronic parking and tolling tag provider, has revealed that parking stress affects one in three drivers. Parking habits: Being conscious of other vehicles in the car park is of benefit to all motorists however there are parking habits that drivers find most annoying about their fellow motorists as the research revealed. Here are the top five: • Taking up two parking spaces (86%) • Drivers parking too close to your car (71%) • Drivers parking in a designated disabled parking space (when they’re not disabled) (70%) • Drivers parking in a family car space (when they don’t have a child/children in the car) (38%) • Blocking the parking aisle while they wait for a parking space (26%) Guilty: Drivers themselves have Need a Car now? also revealed their guilty habits when it comes to parking their own vehicles, with parking too close to the next car highlighted as the number one bad habit for 39% of respondents. This was followed by blocking the parking aisle while waiting for a parking space (26%), and parking in a family car space (when there are no child/ children in the car) (23%). Taking up two parking spaces was also revealed as a guilty habit for one in six drivers and even 6% of drivers confessed to robbing a parking space from another driver.

BECAUSE of the arrival of FordPass Connect in Ireland, several of Ford’s range of cars and commercial vehicles are at the forefront of automotive technological developments. Launched on the all new Ford Focus, FordPass Connect onboard modem technology turns the vehicle into a mobile WiFi hotspot with Internet connectivity for up to 10 devices. FordPass Connect enables live traffic updates for the navigation system as well as providing up to the minute information on the location of nearby service stations, parking and food or leisure options. Using the FordPass mobile app, a vehicle owner can remotely control some key functions on a connected vehicle including: • Door lock and unlock – taking away that occasional doubt sparked by the question ‘did I lock the car’ • Vehicle locator – helps owners to find their car in large car parks • Vehicle status – among other items, it can check fuel levels, alarm status and oil life • Remote Start – (vehicles with automatic transmission) provides the ability to de-ice the windscreen and warm the car on cold mornings. Ciarán McMahon, chairman and MD of Ford Ireland, said: “We are delighted to launch the FordPass cutting edge connectivity on some of our top selling car and van models such as Focus and Transit Connect. “FordPass has great benefits for the average motorist and even more so for the business user who is managing a fleet of vans. One FordPass account can be used to connect with multiple vehicles providing a fleet manager with the ability to remotely monitor a company’s vehicles.” The FordPass mobile app is available for download for both Apple and Android devices. FordPass Connect is available on the latest all new Ford Focus and Transit Connect commercial vehicles. In the coming months, FordPass Connect will be extended to other vehicles in the Ford range. |

ISPCA calls for a ban to become #FurFreeIreland Luna is looking love for someone to The ISPCA, and Respect for Animals, both of which are members of Fur Free Alliance, are highlighting the necessity for a ban on fur farming in Ireland. THE ISPCA, and Respect for Animals, which are both members of Fur Free Alliance, are eager to draw our attention to the need for a ban on fur farming in Ireland. The ban would be on the grounds of animal welfare, ethical and moral issues and the organisations are putting their support behind a Bill introduced in the Dáil by Solidarity TD, Deputy Ruth Coppinger. According to a recent opinion poll of people in Ireland conducted by Red C Research, 80 per cent of those polled agree that farming and killing of animals for their fur in Ireland should be banned. As the ISPCA is quick to point out, mink are essentially wild animals and not suited to be kept in tiny, barren wire cages and bred intensively in fur farms simply for luxury fashion items. Those unfortunate enough to find themselves on a fur farm are deprived of the ability to engage in normal behaviours such as swimming, running, digging, foraging or hunting. Instead they exhibit stress-related physical or behavioural symptoms (stereotypic behaviour) such as repetitive circling, fur-chewing and self- mutilation which often causes serious injuries and open wounds that can become infected. The cages are cramped and no longer than a person’s arm to enable handlers to grab them at the time of killing. Many people don’t even realise it but there are three fur farms in Ireland located in Donegal, Kerry and Laois. These farms contain up to 200,000 mink, farmed in tiny wire mesh battery cages only to suffer a cruel and inhumane death by gassing. Tragically, because mink are semi-aquatic and highly evolved physiologically to hold their breath, this means they are prone to hypoxia, which means they will potentially suffer during gassing. Dr Andrew Kelly, ISPCA CEO said: “Every year approximately 150,000 mink are killed in Ireland solely for a non-essential fashion item - which is We Care because we are animal lovers too The Cat’s Pyjamas Cattery Our Cattery is now open at Clare Street Vets 5 Star accommodation with secure outside access available for as little as €10 per night Taking bookings for Christmas now 66 Clare Street, Limerick T: 061 415 104 154 Drumgeely Hill, Shannon T: 061 472 161 rockhallveterinary.ie simply unacceptable. We are calling on the Government to put an end to this inhumane practice. Many EU member states have already adopted legislation to prohibit or limit fur farming and we want Ireland to put an end to this barbaric practice which should be consigned to the dustbin of history.” Mark Glover, Respect for Animals & Fur Free Alliance said: “In 2015, Respect for Animals published a comprehensive scientific review of animal welfare standards for mink on fur farms. This report found that the welfare of mink farmed for their fur is seriously compromised by all existing fur farming practices. It further concluded that farming systems for mink fail to satisfy any of the ‘Five Freedoms’ and do not provide a ‘Life worth Living’ as defined by the Farm Animal Welfare Council. “A ban is the only viable solution to the serious welfare concerns caused by the fur factory farming of mink. Governments around Europe are legislating to end this cruel practice that contravenes the European Directive concerning animals kept for farming purposes and the Council of Europe recommendation concerning fur animals. “Fur farming is a disaster for animal welfare and it is clear from the opinion poll results released today that such a ban has huge support from the Irish public.” The fur industry is keen to promote fur as a ‘green’ product but nothing could be further from the truth. In reality fur production is a highly chemical and energy-consumptive process. Escaped mink have a serious impact on the environment and native species: they are listed in the top 100 most invasive species by the International union for Conservation of Nature” Mark explained.

| www.limerickpost.ie Saturday 8 December 2018 | 65 Health Healthy Living WHEN the bulk of the foods you are eating are either deep-fried, sugary or contain alcohol, you can find your system feeling, sluggish, your digestion can be off. Even your moods can dip and your energy levels can definitely take a tumble. This at a time when we need our immune system to be in peak condition; we may be socialising more than normal and our time constraints seem even tighter than usual. So, what if I were to suggest you fast? If you have any experience of dieting, you probably have awful memories of the denial, the constant hunger and a general sense of deprivation that goes with the territory. When you force your body to cut back on calories in such a dramatic way, it can just leave you feeling worse than you felt when you started. But dieting and fasting are two different things. Dieting generally involves short- term fasting, which does not bring the same benefits as periodic fasting or longer- term, intermittent fasting. There are healthy ways to fast that bring immense benefits to your health and longevity. In fact, just about every culture actively embraces periodic fasting. This may originally have been motivated by spiritual or religious motives, but it brings benefits This information is intended as a guideline only. Always consult your healthcare practitioner prior to engaging in any new treatments. Contact Jennifer Allen on 086 3378046 or at yourkeytothrive@gmail.com if you have a specific health concern. by naturopathic consultant Jennifer Allen Fast approaching festivities As the festive season approaches, most of us are fortunate enough to know there will be piles of food on the horizon, ready to be devoured over the coming weeks. In fact, we often find we are just eating because snacks and treats are readily at hand. It is certainly not because we are hungry or in need of particular nutrients. on physical and mental levels too. For chronic conditions, such as neurodegenerative conditions, inflammatory conditions and metabolic syndrome, structured fasting brings great relief. Digestion takes a huge amount of energy and so, when the body is given a break from that, it can focus its attention on repairing damaged cells and building new healthy ones. There is a certain amount of oxygenation taking place all the time in our cells, but eating and the process of digesting that food accelerates the degree of oxidisation, effectively like rusting, in our cells. So you can see how taking a break from that gives HeyJude our mitochondria a chance to function optimally, hence we often see a boost in energy levels after periodic fasting or when we fast intermittently. We’re very well aware now that our brains are not the rigid structures we once thought they were, incapable of changing or developing. Quite the opposite, in fact. Brains respond extraordinarily well to stimulation, through puzzles, learning, music and social interaction. They also respond to exercise, which stimulates the production of BDNF, the brain’s growth hormone. And what else stimulates this? That’s right, intermittent fasting. So why is this? Well, normally, when there is a near constant source of food at our disposal, the main fuel we work off is glucose. It’s normally readily available, so when it’s no longer available, the body has to use another source, called ketones, made when stored fats are liberated from our cells. Normally, you need to go without food for 10-14 hours for this ketone-burning process to kick in. This is where intermittent fasting can prove useful. By having your last meal of the day as early as you can, you give your digestive system a break for the rest of the evening, right through the night and into the early part of the next day. What you eat then when you come out of your fast is also important. You don’t want to fill up on carbohydrate-rich foods like breakfast cereals or toast. Such a carbohydrate-heavy meal would send you right back into glucose burning mode. Try smoked salmon, boiled egg, greens and a good drizzle of olive oil with a sprinkling of seeds on top. These foods are rich in high quality protein, antioxidants, useful fats and some fibre. You might think will I not feel weak or hungry, or tired, for that matter? Well, ironically, in our earliest days of evolution, we would have regularly been in a ketogenic state as days could go by when hunting would prove fruitless. We still needed to be able to function, even without full bellies. And research is bearing this out. Animals perform better and have sharper reflexes in a ketogenic state. Combine that with less inflammation and less cellular deterioration and you can see how your body might actually prefer this state. Make liberal use of water and herb teas, like nettle, dandelion and yarrow. Take time to clear out your surroundings to your reflect your new-found vitality, as cellular clearance starts to happen. By the time Christmas comes, you’ll feel healthier, happier, calmer and more energised. Struggling with problems in life, love, work or college?

Hey, Jude, Hi Martina I know I’m not the only one who dreads Christmas as I hear others talk about it too, so I realise it’s not all sparkle and fun for everyone. For me though, it is a time of the year that I particularly dread. My children have all grown up and moved out, and myself and my husband live together, but kind of do our own thing. We get on well, but more as companions at this stage, which to be honest, is fine with me. I’m not looking for anything more than that at my age. Since the kids have moved out and had their own families, I find that I resent Christmas even more, instead of looking forward to seeing my grandchildren. I spend the weeks leading up to Christmas buying and preparing for the big day, as they all like to come home for my Christmas dinner which I have always done. They descend on me, it’s manic for the day as I like to have everything just right, of course, then after dessert they usually say their goodbyes one by one and then I am left with the aftermath! Can you suggest ways in which I stop dreading Christmas so much, and start to enjoy it again? Thank you, Martina Thank you for writing in, I appreciate you sharing your true feelings about Christmas. You’re absolutely right in saying that you are not the only one who dreads this time of year. It can be such a difficult and challenging time for a lot of people. But if you were to only watch advertising campaigns on TV, social media, retail outlets, radio stations etc, you would believe that this was truly a magical and wonderful time of the year for everyone. At the risk of sounding a little Bah Humbug, it is not wonderful for everyone. So as it happens, Martina, I actually do have a few suggestions which might help you enjoy Christmas again. First suggestion: stop cooking Christmas dinner for everyone. Yes, stop it right now, relinquish your long standing role as hostess for the entire family and allow somebody else the opportunity to do the job. I understand that this is a role you have been doing for years, and by the sounds of it, it is something you take pride in, wanting everything to be just right. However, I feel now is the time to weigh up all the benefits that hosting Christmas brings to you and counter those with the costs you are currently experiencing. The cost is, as you have put it, weeks of preparation and buying, for all to descend on you, eat all around them, and then up and leave the whole clean up to you! Wow, Martina, it is no wonder really, that you dread this day. It sounds like work without any pay or appreciation to me. I think it is time to change things up a bit, and start to put yourself first so you can begin to enjoy Christmas once more. There are a few alternatives to how you want to spend your Christmas, while not cooking anymore. You could suggest that each person brings a dish or two each, consisting of the entire dinner, and that you still physically host the dinner in your house, This way, you still get to enjoy your grandchildren’s visit without feeling the pressure in the kitchen. Or that you just don’t offer to host at all this year and perhaps go to one of your children’s houses instead. This ensures very limited pressure. You could cook for just you and your husband; however, my sense of you is that you would really feel the void of the rest of your family’s absence that day. Another idea would be to suggest to your family that you all book into a hotel for the day and have dinner served to you. This way you are not bearing the entire financial cost for the dinner alone either. One final suggestion I have for you, is that you and your husband go away for a few days or even a few weeks, if possible over the holiday period. I can almost imagine you shaking your head while reading this but just entertain the idea for a minute. You have reared your children and they now are self sufficient, fully independent with families of their own. I know that Christmas time is traditionally a time that families come together but I think sometimes we need to look at if this is what is truly best for us. Some time away in the sun with your husband will also help you both to reconnect and get some time together, away from the home. Either way, Martina, I think the answer to your query begins with you not cooking dinner this year. After that, it’s just a matter of taking some time in thinking what you would actually like to do.

Johann van Graan’s side are in fine form at the moment and kept that form going last time out when their Irish internationals returned to action against Edinburgh at Musgrave Park. Keith Earls was one of those returning stars and he showed his sharpness by bagging a hat trick of tries in the space of eight first half minutes. Earls is looking forward to getting back on the Champions Cup train at the weekend and is expecting a physical battle against second in the group Castres. “They are Top14 champions and have made a couple of signings during the summer. It’s going to be a physical game as usual. Both teams know each other well from last year and it should be interesting. We have to look after ourselves and get our bodies right. We know it’s going to be a physical, high speed game and the breakdown is going to be massive for us this week. We will just bring it back to ourselves.” Munster and Castres also met twice in last season’s competition, with van Graan’s men running out 48-3 victors. It was a different story at the Stade Pierre-Fabre as Munster did well to get a draw in the opening fixture of last season’s campaign. The Champions Cup back to back games in December are usually vital to deciding positions in the pool and Munster winger Keith Earls is expecting a big test against Castres when the Champions Cup returns to Thomond Park on Sunday. Photo: Diarmuid Greene/Sportsfile. it’s likely to be no different over the next two weeks. “Another result on Sunday will put us in a good place and then it’s over to Castres where they are unbelievably strong and unbelievably good. Hopefully, we will get the result on Sunday and, not take the pressure off, but it will be less pressure going over and leave us play a bit of ball and not concentrate on trying to get a result.” Munster played some scintillating rugby against Edinburgh last time out and one of the reasons for that was the man of the match display from Chris Farrell at centre. He had a hand in several tries and also dotted down for two of his own. Earls says that have Farrell back opens up space for the likes of him and other members of the back three. “It’s great to have him back after seven/eight months out. To come back and perform the way he did was phenomenal. Chris brings that size, he is 110kg. he can bosh, he’s got feet, he can pass and can offload. A lot of our lads do but it takes two or three fellas to stop him and it frees up a bit of space for us.” Earls also paid tribute to the depth of squad at Munster. Twelve new contract extensions were announced on Tuesday and it shows that Munster are building a squad to be reckoned with. “It’s great,” Earls said on the contract news. “It’s all competition. If you’re a fella like me, being a bit selfish, it could be a bit of rotation as well. Our bodies will be looked after. A couple of years ago we didn’t have as big a squad and you were rolled out every week. “The competition is the most important part of it. Obviously, we want to play every week but the way the game has gone and how tough it is, it’s just impossible. We have depth now that whoever starts, and whoever comes in, there isn’t much of a change.” MUNSTER Castres game effectively knockout rugby for O’Mahony by John Keogh sport@limerickpost.ie MUNSTER are in a good position heading into their third Champions Cup Pool 2 game of the 2018/19 campaign. Johann van Graan’s men sit top ahead of Castres, Exeter Chiefs and Gloucester ahead of their double header with the French side in the next two weeks. A bonus point win would copper fasten their standing at the top of the pool and Munster captain, Peter O’Mahony, likens the December back to back games to knockout rugby. “Being up first at home is season defining. We are expecting a massive challenge but we know this weekend is a different animal. Castres will be hurting after being beaten at home last weekend and will want to be putting in a big performance so we are going to get a serious Castres team playing well. “Breakdown is going to massive. They have four or five guys that are excellent. Breakdown is the most important part of the game no matter what team you are looking at but when you have that amount of guys that are that potent over a ball it certainly does heighten your senses and we know that it’s more than likely going to be the winning and losing of the game this weekend. We have got to get that area right and win our own ball.” With so many experienced and internationally capped players now in Munster’s squad, the level of expectation from within the camp rises and O’Mahony feels that there is a different buzz around the training field as a result. “Everyone knows just how important these weeks are. Guys know it’s Europe and how important Europe is to the club. We have guys here that want to be successful, are hugely competitive and want to win everything.” O’Mahony also highlighted how crucial a role that internationals have when they come back into the provincial squad after a run of games of Ireland. The Munster captain said: “It’s important that guys see the international players as standard setters, particularly for younger players. They should see a different level.” Carnbeg Limited t/a the Limerick Post republishes the sports content in this newspaper with the permission of “Sporting Limerick”.

| 80 | Saturday 8 December 2018 www.limerickpost.ie Sport More Sports news @ www.limerickpost.ie Munster Sport is fun – try to enjoy it by Tom Savage sport@limerickpost.ie NOT EVERY rugby game is good but there’s something good in every rugby game. I wrote this stupid little sentence down in my t-shirt ideas pad a few years ago and disregarded it because (a) it’s twee and (b) not one single soul would part with their hard-earned euros to buy it. It’s an Instagram tier meme, at best but – BUT – that doesn’t mean that it isn’t true. I thought about that phrase this week when I got a phone call asking if I’d be interested in filling in for someone on Limerick Live 95’s coverage of Munster vs Edinburgh. Now, after weeks of publicly complaining about sports coverage (to go with years of complaining to anyone who’d listen offline), I’d be in the hot seat myself with a mic in my face and my pie hole spewing out rugby knowledge to anyone tuned in. As I walked over to Musgrave Park in advance of the gig, I ran through the “don’ts” that I had written in my phone. Don’t blather on ad-infinitum – the Luke Fitzgerald Effect. Don’t try to sicken the audience with stupid puns or jokes that only you find funny – I’m looking at you, Mark Robson. Don’t drone away in a Cork accent while dumping on everything that you see – that’s you Eddie O’Sullivan, kid. This one would be the toughest. In the course of my job, most of the games I get to analyse after they’ve finished don’t have any commentary file attached – just raw crowd noise and the referee mic. Two weekends ago, Munster played Zebre in Parma in a slow, physical game played out in quite difficult weather and pitch conditions. The commentary team talking over the game – Eddie O’Sullivan on colour and Connor Morris on play by play – were dumping on the game from minute one, as both sides struggled to adapt to the conditions that, up until a few hours before kick- off, threatened to postpone the game altogether. O’Sullivan bemoaned Munster’s “lack of ambition” with the ball in hand and dumped on the strategy to kick a lot of possession away, seemingly blind to the conditions as they presented themselves. Players were finding it incredibly tough to carry the ball on the sandy, mucky pitch and Munster’s kicking strategy forced Zebre to restructure, find an exit and thus give Munster workable lineout position from which to attack in a better position without going through eight or nine hard carries in a world of slop and mud to do so. That aspect of the game was a fascinating tactical Arno Botha on the charge in Munster’s game against Zebre a couple of weeks ago. Photo: Roberto Bregani/Sportsfile. battle played out with big consequences for any errors. When Munster weren’t kicking, a very young Munster pack was going one on one with a gnarly Zebre pack in conditions that will have levelled a lot of the skill differences between the two. Watching the game without the commentary was a different story. You could appreciate the physicality of the carrying and tackling. You could hear the players celebrate every bit of ground they won. You could feel the tension as the game got narky and every scrum and maul was a brawl ready to happen. Munster began to pull away eventually and then won a bonus point with two tries in the last five minutes in a quagmire of a pitch. It wasn’t a “classic” of the rugby genre but it was a bloody good game played out by a bunch of exciting young Munster prospects. But if you were watching and listening eirSport match commentary, you wouldn’t have known that. All you would have heard was how disappointing the whole thing was by Eddie O’Sullivan and Connor Morris. This is not a hole that eirSport can allow themselves to fall into. The excellent Tommy Bowe, Donnacha O’Callaghan, Peter Stringer and Murray Kinsella are fantastic parts of the broadcast. Liam Toland, too, is someone who at least conveys enthusiasm to the viewer. Eir have to build their product around people who will engage the viewer in the high-quality contests that the PRO14 regularly provides. That isn’t “hype”. That’s the reality for people who know their rugby. As far as I’m concerned, sports media is there to entertain, educate and uplift. Some people working in sports media forget that sports are just the soap opera section with a ball and a live audience and that we’re all incredibly lucky to be paid to talk about it at all. Other people have to work for a living, like. I’m often described by some as a hype man for Munster Rugby and the IRFU like it’s an insult. But it’s true! I am a hype man. I want you to enjoy your past time. I want you to enjoy the game as much as I do and obsess about WHY everything happens on the pitch the way it does and how it might happen in the next game. I want you to enjoy that so much that you feel compelled to watch the next game on TV with me or, better yet, buy a ticket and go to the game. That is what excites me. If you can’t get excited and transmit that excitement to the audience watching, maybe find a different gig. Sport is fun. If you’re not having fun, you’re just flat out doing it wrong. Munster Good news on the Munster contract front by John Keogh sport@limerickpost.ie MUNSTER and the IRFU have announced that 12 players have signed contract extensions at the province. Nine of the players have come through the Munster Academy. John Ryan, JJ Hanrahan, Jack O’Donoghue, Rory and Niall Scannell, Darren Sweetnam, Alex Wootton, Fineen Wycherley and Calvin Nash have all made the leap from the Academy to the first team at Munster in recent years and have all been rewarded with new deals. Arno Botha has also been recognised for his fine start to his Munster career by signing an extension that will keep him at the province until Summer 2020. Jeremy Loughman has also extended his contract by a year. Ryan has penned a three-year-deal, fresh from scoring his first International John Ryan is among those to pen new deals at Munster.

Carnbeg Limited t/a the Limerick Post republishes the sports content in this newspaper with the permission of “Sporting Limerick”. try for Ireland against the USA in the final Autumn International. The Scannell brothers have agreed contracts for a further two years, as have Sweetnam, Hanrahan, O’Donoghue, Wootton, Marshall, Wycherley and Nash. The announcement is a huge boost for Munster following on from Conor Murray, Keith Earls, Chris Farrell, Chris Cloete, Tommy O’Donnell, James Cronin, Gavin Coombes and Shane Daly signing deals in October. It was also confirmed recently that Leinster scrum half Nick McCarthy will also be joining Munster next year on a two year deal. Munster play Castres in the Champions Cup on Sunday at Thomond Park at 1pm. Head Coach Johann van Graan says there are injury worries over Stephen Archer (Illness), Andrew Conway (Back) and Mike Haley (Concussion), with Archer the biggest doubt for the game.

| www.limerickpost.ie Saturday 8 December 2018 | 81 Sport More Sports news @ www.limerickpost.ie Munster Conway still seeking further improvement on stunning form by John Keogh sport@limerickpost.ie IT’S TESTAMENT to Andrew Conway that he is now one of the first names on Johann van Graan’s team sheet for Munster’s most important games. The winger/full back has been sensational since the South African came in as Head Coach just over a year ago but despite his glittering form, Conway feels there is still plenty of improving to do and he feels that his best is yet to come in both Munster red and Irish green. “I am playing all right but I want to be involved in the teens carries and setting lads up, not just going out there and getting the ball when it comes to my wing and chasing the high ball when there is a box kick on my side. I want to go out and put my stamp on games. If I can continue to do that then I think I will be playing the best rugby of my career.” Conway scored two tries in Munster’s impressive win over Edinburgh in Musgrave Park last Friday, following on from the hat trick he scored the week before for Ireland against the USA. If his form is to improve it can only be good for the province looking ahead to the rest of the season. He played in three of Ireland’s four Autumn Internationals but his absence from Ireland’s historic victory over the All Blacks is one that hurt Conway, saying that missing out on games like that are ‘the worst parts about professional sport’. The focus for now turns back to Munster and the crucial back to back Champions Cup games with Castres in the next two weeks. After that, fixtures against Leinster, Connacht and Ulster all come before the Champions Cup group stage finishes up with a trip to Gloucester and a home game against Andrew Conway is hoping to improve even further as the season hits a crucial period. Photo: Dan Sheridan/Inpho. the Exeter Chiefs. The workload ahead of the players is something that Conway is well versed on. “It’s something that you really need to be conscious of. I find for myself that you need to train really smart and not feel fatigued. The nature of the beast at the moment is that is one thing after another. After that first initial block (of games) and then you are lucky enough to be selected for November (Ireland), you have a hefty enough month. Then you straight into one league game, double Europe, three Interpros, double Europe and then before you know it you are in the middle of January and the Six Nations is popping it’s head up. “There is a great player management system in Ireland and it’s a big part of why people stay here. You are not thrown out for 35 games here. We are in a position where there is a huge number of guys in squads who are competitive so at any time, if there is a down week, another guy comes in and has a stormer, you have to come in and play well. That’s the benefit of the Irish system.” Conway also gave an insight into the player his is now, compared to when he arrived at Munster six years ago. He admits that he is more mature and is definitely enjoying his rugby more as well and that a change of attitude has helped him evolve. “It may have happened a bit too quick for me at the start where I was 18 and I was just out of school and I had signed a contract with Leinster. Then, it didn’t keep continuing on that trajectory. I think part of it was that I almost didn’t realise the work that it took to try and become an international player. I had to find out the hard way that it doesn’t just happen for you, maybe your talent might get you a provincial contract, but the hard work starts then. It’s not that I didn’t necessarily work hard. I probably just did the minimum. “I turned up. I trained hard whenever I was on the pitch. I did my weight sessions but I didn’t really go after it in all aspects. That took a few years to learn. Thankfully, I did learn the lesson in time to live out the dream of playing for Ireland. “It is a constant learning and my mindset changes pretty much from year to year because that is just the revolution of you’re getting that bit older, you are seeing things in a different way and you are growing, so hopefully I will keep continuing to learn. The game is changing even now and you need to keep going with that and adapting with that.” AIL Rugby Garryowen and Shannon face off in AIL by John Keogh sport@limerickpost.ie THE BIGGEST game this weekend in the All Ireland League sees Limerick rivals Garryowen and Shannon clash in Dooradoyle on Friday night. Garryowen go into the game on the back of two wins on the bounce that has seen them rise to move into fifth place in Division 1A of the AIL. Garryowen beat Young Munster in their last home game and followed that up with an away win over Terenure on Saturday. Again, it was teenage out-half Ben Healy that saw Garryowen to victory with 12 of their 17 points. Healy kicked four penalties and Darren Ryan scored Garryowen’s solitary try in their one-point win. Ryan’s try put Garryowen nine ahead heading into the final quarter but a penalty and a try from the home side ensured a nervy finish but the Light Blues held on for a fine win. Shannon were comfortably beaten by Lansdowne on a 32-15 scoreline at Thomond Park’s back pitch last Saturday. Tom Hayes’ side fell 10-3 in the lead up to half time but an excellent Robbie Deegan try cut the Dublin side’s advantage to two points at the break. However, Lansdowne kicked into gear early in the second half and scored Young Munster players celebrate after Shane Fenton scored their sixth try in the 34-34 draw with UCD. Photo: Sporting Limerick. three more tries before Nathan Randles’ late consolation. The defeat saw Shannon fall down a spot to sixth in the table. Both teams have lofty ambitions of reaching the playoffs this season and Friday night’s game is a pivotal one before their final game of the year the following weekend. Garryowen’s recent run of good form following two poor performances against UCD and Cork Con. Healy has excelled in those outings and Shannon will need to keep a close eye on him if they are to arrest their two game losing run. Elsewhere in Division 1A this Carnbeg Limited t/a the Limerick Post republishes the sports content in this newspaper with the permission of “Sporting Limerick”. weekend, Young Munster make the daunting trip to Temple Hill where they take on the leaders Con on Saturday. Munsters will be extremely frustrated with their draw with UCD last time out. Gearoid Prendergast’s side led the game 34-19 at one stage in the second half but in the end they were lucky to come away with a draw. UCD had a conversion in front of the posts in the final moments but Matthew Gilsenan somehow missed the target. Munsters looked scintillating with ball in hand throughout but the concession of four yellow cards that left them down to 13 players on two occasions almost cost them dearly. They lie in eighth position in the table and face a very tough run of games either side of Christmas. After Con, Munsters welcome Clontarf to Tom Clifford Park and then face the same two teams in the New Year. An improvement in defence and discipline is a must if Munsters are to take anything from those games. Elsewhere in the AIL this weekend, Old Crescent make the trip the Blackrock and UL Bohs welcome Dolphin in Division 2A. Bruff will be looking to top Division 2C when they take on Malahide away from home, while Thomond host Tullamore in Liam Fitzgerald Park. In the Women’s AIL, UL Bohs moved back into second place with a comprehensive victory 45-7 win over St Mary’s. Chloe Pearse and Niamh Briggs crossed for two tries each, while Fiona Hayes, Rachel Allen-Connolly and Rosie Newton went over for a try each in the victory.

| www.limerickpost.ie Saturday 8 December 2018 | 83 Sport More Sports news @ www.limerickpost.ie Limerick Junior Soccer Busy time of the year for Limerick’s Junior sides by Adrian Finnin sport@limerickpost.ie BETWEEN THE FAI Junior Cup, Jack Touhy Cup and PJ Matthews Premier League, there is plenty of soccer action in the city this weekend. There are some crucial games for teams at the top and bottom of the Premier League. Firstly, the quarter final of the Jack Tuohy Cup between Pike Rovers and Regional will take place tonight at Jackman Park (7pm). Both clubs are the form sides in Limerick with both still in the major national competitions, while Pike are also second in the league with two games in hand on Janesboro, Due to recent slip ups from Ballynanty, Regional have become joint third and enter the cup game following an emphatic 6-1 win over Killarney Celtic in the FAI Junior Cup. With just nine points separating themselves and Janesboro, the Dooradoyle outfit have become outside challengers for the league as they have two games in hand. Regional’s stock is certainly rising but Pike did manage to beat them 1-0 in Dooradoyle in September, a feat not managed by many in recent years. On Saturday, Geraldines will look to bounce back from their heart breaking penalty shoot out defeat to Glengad in the FAI Junior Cup and heap more misery on struggling Charleville in the process (7pm). Charleville can climb out of the relegation zone with a win if Kilmallock fail to beat Nenagh at home in another crucial relegation battle. The game between Kilmallock and Nenagh will take place on Sunday morning (11am). Fellow relegation battlers Prospect picked up a vital win over rivals Kilmallock last weekend to give slight breathing space between themselves and the bottom four. Experienced duo Danny Colbert and Cyril Maher scored the all important goals. However, Derek Braddish’s men will find it difficult against an in form Regional team. The sides played out a close encounter in Dooradoyle earlier this season where Regional emerged victorious on a narrow 2-1 scoreline. Out of the bottom half teams, Prospect have the Fairview take on old rivals Pike at the Fairgreen on Sunday morning. meanest defence and they will need to perform well to get a result. Regional will need the victory to stay in touch with the league leaders and it should make for an entertaining but nervy encounter. Janesboro face Aisling Annacotty at Pearse Stadium on Sunday morning (11am). Due to elimination in the Munster Junior Cup and FAI Junior Cup, retaining the league crown will now be the sole focus for Aidan Ryan and Shane O’Hanlon. Currently, the southside club are five points clear of Pike but their rivals have two Photo: Sporting Limerick. games in hand. In contrast, Annacotty advanced to the last 32 of the FAI Junior Cup last week with a big win over Blarney. Annacotty also ran Janesboro extremely close in the Munster Junior Cup just a matter of weeks ago in a 3-2 defeat. Two clubs who are no strangers to success meet at the Fairgreen on Sunday when Fairview Rangers host Pike Rovers (11am). Unfortunately for Fairview, recent successes have been harder to come by. The recent performance in the 2-2 draw with title chasing Ballynanty will give Jason Purcell’s side a lot of confidence and belief that they can upset their bitter rivals. Ross Mann is a big danger for the home side with his pace and movement. Ballynanty Rovers make the long trip to Dundalk on Sunday to take on Muirhevna Mor in the FAI Junior Cup fifth round (2pm). It will be a tough test for Donal Magee’s side with the likes of former Dundalk striker Tiernan Mulvenna among the Muirhevna ranks.They will be looking to join five other Limerick sides including Desmond League side Glin Rovers in the last 32 of the competition. Limerick Junior Soccer Magee confident of FAI progression and Balla future by Adrian Finnin sport@limerickpost.ie Ballynanty manager Donal Magee is expecting a tough test this weekend in the FAI Junior Cup. BALLYNANTY Rovers travel to Dundalk on Sunday to take on Muirhevna Mor in the Fifth Round of the New Balance FAI Junior Cup (2pm). The northside club will be aiming to join fellow District League sides Pike, Regional, Aisling Annacotty and Newport, as well as Desmond league side Glin Rovers in the last 32 of the competition. Manager Donal Magee is expecting a very tough game on Sunday. “Preparations have been going okay,” he said ahead of the trip to Louth. “We have a few injuries we are concerned with as some players didn’t play against Janesboro. “We know it’s going to be a tough task as they are a decent side. They are switching to summer football next year so it’s a short season for them. We know they are a very good side and the way we set up, we won’t be taking anybody lightly.” Ballynanty reached the FAI Junior Cup final in 2014 only to lose to St. Carnbeg Limited t/a the Limerick Post republishes the sports content in this newspaper with the permission of “Sporting Limerick”. Michaels at the Aviva. Magee himself reached the quarter final of the competition with Clare League side Shannon Town last season only to be defeated by eventual finalists Pike. The Shannon man feels this level of the competition is where Balla should be competing. “It’s something I’ve always believed in that if you want to progress, you have to be playing at the latter stages of these competitions. You need to be competing in the Munster and the FAI in January. It’s important that we already in the latter stages of the Munster Junior and will have a tough test against Killarney. This will be a tough game and if we get through that the draw for the next round is on this week and it will also be tough for us. We are certainly capable of progressing.” Ballynanty are currently fourth in the league table and nine points behind Janesboro despite dropping points in just three games all season. After winning nine in a row, Balla are just aiming to stay in touch and Magee reiterated his belief that the Limerick teams will punish you severely for any mistakes. “The Limerick league is an unforgiving league. You can’t assume you’re going to win every game. If you’re playing a team lower than you, you can’t assume that you can just turn up and win, it doesn’t happen like that. You might get away with that in other leagues but you certainly don’t get away with that in Limerick Premier as you will be caught. Just look at us on Sunday against Janesboro. I feel very aggrieved that we didn’t get something from the game.” Magee returned to Ballynanty at the start of the season and is excited by the young talent in his squad. Also, the development plans for the spiritual home of Ballynanty soccer in Bateman Park are taking shape. With all this in mind, Magee has committed to the club for the long term. “I’m committed to the club for the next few years. I plan to stay here and this will be my last job in junior football. I currently coach some underage teams in Shannon. This will definitely be the last junior job as I’ve done it long enough. I’ve enjoyed it but I will be with Ballynanty for the foreseeable future.” The Limerick Post accepts no responsibility for the accuracy of the content and shall not be liable in any part for the matters reported therein. |

Limerick Post Entertainment News songwriter At The Acoustic Club by Eric FitzGerald eric@limerickpost.ie new music Síomha: Kickstarting a debut album by Eric FitzGerald eric@limerickpost.ie ^ THIS week’s special guest at The Acoustic Club on December 11 is Eva Coyle. Her sound explores the wanderings between folk, blues and more recently, funk inspired rhythms. Eva is currently working on her album, a unique blend of blues and folk sounds inspired by Ireland and Sweden. The Acoustic Club gives local and nationally touring performers a platform weekly at Charlie Malone’s Bar on Tuesdays. fundraiser Scott Hutchison night ^ LIMERICK acts are coming together to pay tribute the music of Scott Hutchison of Frightened Rabbit. The gig happens in The Old Fire Station Restaurant, Thomas Street this Thursday December 6 from 8pm. It is a BYOB gig with donations made at the door. The exciting line up features Bleeding Heart Pigeons, Anna’s Anchor, Casavettes, His Father’s Voice and Hey Rusty. Money raised will go to Limerick Suicide Watch. television Talent Wanted JAZZ, folk, soul musician Síomha has launched a Kickstarter fundraiser for her debut album. The County Clare musician grew up in a house where trad, soul and jazz mixed easily. While in high school in the south of France she learned to play manouche gypsy jazz which has become part of a palate of sounds that inform her own compositions. Since returning from US and Canada, Síomha has released singles and live-take videos that have garnered over 1.7 million views. Her song and video ‘July Red Sky’ was recorded on the Burren in West Clare and is ambitious in scale and still picking up multiple hits. She has played Electric Picnic, Doolin Folk Festival and Dingle Folk Festival. A support tour with the olllam band led to Síomha collaborating with musician/ producer Tyler Duncan (Vulfpeck, Theo Katzman, Notify, the olllam) on her track ‘Craobhacha’. “I have admired him from afar for a long time and the stuff he is involved in writing and producing and working with,” says Síomha. Tyler is set to produce and record the debut album at his studio in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA. The new album will be a collection of songs that Síomha feels that needs to be recorded as a full piece. “The first time I have ever approached songwriting in that way.” Most of these songs feature in her Síomha and band play Dolan’s on Thursday December 20 live set. Síomha along with her band, Martin Atkinson (keys), Cein Daly (bass) and Ben Wanders (drums) will perform this material at Dolan’s on December 20. The song ‘Mind go Slow’ is an indicator musically and thematically where this new album of work is heading. Síomha is also performing some of these new songs as gaeilge, thanks to translations made by a friend, Billy McGlynn. The Kickstarter Campaign is now launched to part fund the recording of the album with Tyler Duncan in the US (the option to bring the producer to an Irish studio is prohibitively expensive for the artist). In using Kickstarter, Síomha is cutting out the middleman so in other words, is cutting out the record labels and selling this project directly to fans. “The industry has changed so much, record labels don’t interest me at all - They are essentially just a bank, really!” “With the crowd funding it is kind of easier because you are asking your fans to pre-buy the album.” On Kickstarter, fans can order the album as a digital download or on vinyl. There are other interesting options on the site. A Mentorship session over Skype for songwriting comes with a pledge of €200 and a three-piece house concert can be arranged through the site. To pre-order the debut album, go to www.kickstarter. com, search for Síomha. Síomha and her band play Dolan’s on Thursday December 20. live ^ TG4 in conjunction with Adare Productions is looking for Ireland’s most talented family to take part in a new series of ‘Réalta agus Gaolta’. Presenter Síle Seoige is back looking for Ireland’s most talented family. The act must consist of at least two people. Singers, dancers, musicians, storytellers, you name it, TG4 want to see it all. All ages can apply by sending a short video clip of your performance to www. tg4.ie/realtaagusgaolta or email fionanic@ adareproductions.ie indie Fonda play headliner ^ LIMERICK garage pop band Fonda - a favourite of these pages since the wonderful track ‘Dreaming’ was released back in 2016, return to Pharmacia this Friday December 7 for their first headline slot with DIYLK. New look Fonda sees original singer and songwriter Liam O’Connor fronting a five piece band that includes members of Slow Riot, Inner City Radio, His Father’s Voice and Hey Rusty. This is the band’s last hometown show before returning to the studio for EP number two later this month. Also on the bill are Dublin garage punks Shrug Life as well as Daniel Fitzpatrick’s Badhands whose debut album was released to widespread critical acclaim earlier this month. The Stunning for Riverfest Big Top headliner Following on from a triumphant two nights at Féile Classical (many say they stole the show!) The Stunning will return to Limerick to perform Live at the Big Top, Milk Market on May 5 2019 as part of Riverfest. ‘Twice Around The World’, the first album release by the band since 1994, went straight to Number 1 on its release in March 2018. Rave reviews and the fact that it contains some of the band’s biggest hits (‘Everything that Rises’, ‘Heads Are Gonna Roll’, ‘She’s on My Mind’ and ‘Mr Ginger’) along with ‘Brighten Up My Life’ - one of the most played Irish songs on radio of 2017 - helped it on its way to the top of the charts. The ‘Twice Around the World Tour’ saw the band sell out venues across the country, headlining the Féile Classical, Galway Arts Festival and returning Dublin’s Olympia Theatre three times in the space of just over a year. Amidst the mayhem, lead singer Steve Wall squeezed in some time for his acting career, playing the lead role in ‘My Foolish Heart’, a feature film based on the life of legendary trumpet player Chet Baker. The Stunning have the well earned reputation of a band that always delivers an impressive live show. Live at the Big Top, Milk Market on May 5 According Joe Wall, “The band love playing in Limerick – we seem to have built up a special chemistry with the audience there and they really let their hair down at our shows. “Our two sell-out shows in Dolan’s Warehouse last March and the Mungret Music Festival in August have expanded our fanbase in Limerick even more. The Big Top at the Milk Market is amazing – we can’t wait!” Product . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

From winning the vote on Tuesday to doing interviews on national radio in their school lunch-break to finding themselves on the biggest stage at Other Voices, it has been a week to remember for the four teenagers. PowPig charmed and won over the full house at IMRO Other Room with a set of smart indie songs, ‘Stinky Teeth’, ‘Mayday’ and ‘Rosalee’ being particular standouts. Presenter MayKay commented on how together the band played: “That was amazing.” The festival in Dingle delivered wonderful sets from hip hop acts eric@limerickpost.ie LIMERICK acts whenyoung and PowPig delivered accomplished sets at Other Voices Festival in Dingle at the weekend. Limerick/ Clare trio whenyoung performed a perfectly poised set that argued the case for the London based trio to become household names in 2019. Limerick teenagers PowPig were 2FM Listeners Choice Winners, topping the public vote to bag themselves a lucrative slot on the IMRO Other Room The Waterboys play University Concert Hall this Friday December 7 Mango & Mathman and Kojaque. Guitar led bands showed there is something of a revival in musicians using driven guitar music to hone their songs and stories. Derry band Woodburning Savages owned the An Chonair stage with their rabble rousing fury. Thumper and Silverbacks did not waste their opportunities to win over new fans, the former utilising two drummers and four guitars to hammer the message home. R.Kitt and Daithi brought their electro beats to hugely enthusiastic crowds in small rooms that struggled to contain the blissed out mayhem. TH AI TH T AI HA I ST Winner of Best Takeaway in Munster - THE 2017 release from The Waterboys is ‘Out of All This Blue’. It is a double album wide in sonic scope and ambition from the driving blues of ‘The Connemara Fox’ to disco stomp of ‘Monument’. The new recording is a statement in fresh optimism from one of rock’s enigmatic songwriters. Expect to hear music from the album alongside classic tracks this weekend. Formed by Mike Scott in Edinburgh in 1983, the line ups, locations and styles of The Waterboys have changed over their long career from rock ‘n’ roll to Celtic rock and many points in between. Mike Scott’s songs have been covered by artists as varied as Ellie Goulding, who scored a Top 3 UK hit with ‘How Long Will I Love You’ in 2013; Prince, who sang ‘The Whole Of The Moon’; mainstream poppers Boyzone who recorded ‘The Whole Of The Moon’ in 2014, US indie rockers The War On Drugs, who’ve played ‘A Pagan RE Lana Castletroy, Limerick ST ST RE RE Place’ as a staple of their live set for several years; and American band Dawes who rearranged ‘Fisherman’s Blues’ to astonishing effect in their 2015 shows. Meanwhile ‘How Long Will I Love You’, ‘Fisherman’s Blues’ and ‘You In The Sky’ were featured in hit movies ‘About Time’, ‘Good Will Hunting’ and ‘What We Did On Our Holiday’. The music of The Waterboys has never ceased to evolve, from the influential mix of Celtic, gospel, country and rock on the classic ‘Fisherman’s Blues’, the fired-up poetic passion of 2011’s ‘An Appointment with Mr Yeats’ and 2015’s acclaimed return to prominence, the rootsy, funky modern blues to their latest album (their 12th and first double album), ‘Out of All This Blue’ which is yet another fresh, daring and accomplished reinvention of The Waterboys.

| www.limerickpost.ie 88 | Saturday 8 December 2018 Entertainment Arts Watch and listen to music on the blog www.musiclimerick.com with Rose Rushe roserushe@limerickpost.ie choral concert The Armed Man from Berlin PROBABLY the greatest formal hymn to peace written in the 20th century is ‘The Armed Man’, the eloquent mass by Karl Jenkins. Limerick Choral Union has chosen this majestic work, rich with brass and percussion and oratorio, for their Christmas concert on Saturday December 8 at UCH, 8pm. The Union’s chairperson Lorraine McMahon was among the 40 or so choristers invited to sing ‘The Armed Man’ with an international choir of 2000 singers and orchestra of 120 in Berlin for WW1’s Armistice centenary. “Karl Jenkins led the concert and it really was something extraordinary,” she says of the commemoration which took place in the Mercedes-Benz Arena. “On screen behind us was a video roll of the troubles of the century, from World War 1 to the (Holocaust) camps to the Twin Towers and more, ultimately leading to peace – ‘The Armed Man’ is a mass for peace. A lot of Limerick Choral Union people will be looking forward to performing it after that experience.” Lorraine goes on to remind us that it was 2010 when LCU last did this work in full. Furthermore, they December 8 at UCH invited Jenkins himself to conduct them. He did so, confirms Arts Page, and it was a wonderful concert night, resonant in the mind and soul since. “This year we have amalgamated with UL Orchestra who are a great body. They are very professional and it’s nice to use Limerick groups now and then. Mary Immaculate College Choir of 30 will join with us so we’ll have 170 singers on stage.” Limerick mezzo soprano Sarah- Ellen Murphy will make a glorious soloist, joined by 12 year-old Daniel Ryan singing the Kyrie - novel. Malcolm Green has authority over the Jenkins’ half of the concert night. The first half will be UL Orchestra playing the upbeat Polovtsian dances by Borodin, with the experienced Liam Daly conducting. A last word from Lorraine McMahon on how the finishing notes will sound. “‘The Call to Prayer’ will be a completely a capella piece and will be sung from the balcony, out of sight of the stage and audience. The last call of the trumpet will be from the balcony as well.” Book any ticket that may remain for www.uch.ie chamber music Classical superstars for Limerick THE third concert in this Autumn’s National String Foundation Quartet series at Belltable brings together four of Ireland’s most celebrated young musicians, the Lir Quartet. Enjoy their programme this Friday December 7 at 8pm, closing out the 2018 tour produced by the Foundation under executive and artistic director, Christopher Marwood. Based between Germany, France, the UK, and Ireland, the Lir Quartet has given sensational performances at Barry Douglas’ Clandeboye Festival and for the Foundation’s Spring series earlier this year. The musicians are Mairead Hickey and Siobhan Doyle on violin, Ed Creedon, viola and cellist Chris Ellis. “They will play Debussy’s string quartet, a masterpiece from 1893 built around its transcendental slow movement,” Christopher Marwood tells Limerick Post. Marwood is an internationally sought after cellist himself through three decades with the Vanbrugh Quartet, and West Cork Chamber Music Festival. “Sean Doherty’s ‘Devil’s Dream’ was written for the Vanbrugh Quartet in 2015 as a tribute to his fiddle teacher James Byrne. It is loosely based on two tunes, ‘An Londubh’ and ‘The Devil’s Dream’. It manages to fuse traditional and classical into a remarkable and exciting new soundworld. “The second half of the concert presents one of Beethoven’s most spectacular and virtuosic quartets, the last of the set of three he wrote for Count Rasumovsky in 1808. “Their programme for Belltable includes a stunning new work by Donegal composer Sean Doherty that weaves traditional and classical together in a musical tapestry. “They will finish with Beethoven’s third ‘Rasoumovsky’ Quartet, renowned for its fearsome virtuosity.” www.limetreetheatre.ie Violinist Mairéad Hickey A Night at the Opera with ICO and Sharon Carty Irish Chamber Orchestra and (inset) Sharon Carty ^ YOU have a choice of two dates in December to book ‘The Nutcracker’, agreed by all to be the most seasonal of ballets. Ballet Ireland is checking into Lime Tree Theatre on Friday 14 and Saturday 15 at 8pm with this Tchaikovsky adventure set on Christmas Eve in a big house in Russia. “A marvellous party is taking place where the mysterious Uncle Drosselmeyer brings gifts for all the children. When midnight strikes, very strange things start to happen … The Christmas tree grows to incredible height and Clara’s magical gift, her Nutcracker, leads them into a fairytale world! “With her heroic Nutcracker at her side, Clara defeats the Mouse King and his army of mice and they journey to the Land of Snow and the Kingdom of Sweets together.” Sheer bliss on www.limetreetheatre.ie Literary tradition to St Mary’s Parish ^ THE next community heritage talk at St Mary’s AID in the Widows Almshouses, Nicholas Street is on ‘The Parish Literary Tradition’. Taking place on Friday December 14, the 1pm session will be accompanied by an illustrative slide show and tea/ scones for the €5 entry. Everyone is welcome. “The Parish Literary Tradition focuses on the huge treasury of literary wealth that exists within the confines of St Mary’s Parish,” broadcaster John O’Regan tells Limerick Post. “It traces a path from the legendary works of The Bard of Thomond – Michael Hogan, the most published author from the Parish, to Christóir O’Flynn through to the parochially slanted writings of Arthur Lysaght, and two of its best known local authors, Maureen Sparling and Denis O’Shaughnessy.” Indeed, Maureen Sparling has just published her latest collection of poetry and short stories, ‘Under the Upside-down Saucer’. Jazz Ensemble party opera PLASSEY based Irish Chamber Orchestra presents an opulent evening of opera with mezzo soprano Sharon Carty at St Mary’s Cathedral on Thursday 13, 8pm. On then to Monkstown Parish Church in Dublin for Friday 14. Handel and Vivaldi are prominent on the programme. “Sharon Carty is hugely popular among audiences at home and abroad,” reports the ICO’s Charlotte Eglington. “Sharon graduated as a PE teacher from the University of Limerick and it was a chance purchase of a recording of ‘Orfeo Nutcracker ballet ed Euridice’ which took her on a path to becoming one of Ireland’s finest mezzo sopranos, performing across Europe to great acclaim.” Following further studies at the RIAM Dublin, MDW Vienna, and the Oper Frankfurt Young Artists programme, she is artistic partner to Irish National Opera. Book your tickets now on www. irishchamberorchestra.com. Tickets are also available at St Mary’s door for this night of Vivaldi, Barber, Mozart and Handel, conducted by Corsican virtuoso Jean-Christophe Spinosi. ^ UPSTAIRS in Dolan’s next Wednesday December 12 from 7.30pm on, we can look forward to a heady soundscape resonating from Limerick Jazz Ensemble’s end of year concert. Look forward to career musicians plus teachers of music leading a series of accomplished groups that will each have a repertoire to entertain. Much more than jamming, the stage will be graced by Ensemble workshop musicians who meet weekly for jazz sessions as well as students from the Peter Dee Academy of Music, the Redemptorist School of Music, Limerick School of Music and vocalists. Finger food is laid on by the Dolan family for this biannual party where hours of sweet music are yours for a fiver. Jean Ryan Hakizimana ^ THE artist’s ‘Panorama of Pictures’ opens this Thursday 6, 6.30pm at Dooradoyle Library. |

TINY GIANTS The Locke Bar Smyths, Denmark St. Joe Moloney The Glen Tavern Ralph Breaks The Internet K IDS movies don’t get any more charming or heartwarming than ‘Wreck- It Ralph’, one of my favourite animated features of the last decade. So for me to say the sequel ‘Ralph Breaks The Internet’ was eagerly awaited, is nothing short of pure understatement. And while it lacks some of the allure of the original, it proves to be just as inventive and equally as much fun. This is a sophisticated and thoroughly exhilarating adventure that young gamers and YouTubers will enjoy just as much as their less tech-savvy parents. ‘Wreck-It Ralph’ arrived six years ago brimming over with sentiment and nostalgia. But the rose tinted glasses are off this time round. ‘Ralph Breaks The Internet’ serves to warn younger viewers of the culture of bullying and egotism on the net while also pointing out the positives of online communication. There is so much to absorb here that you will probably need to see this movie a second time just to take half of it in. This is a real case of sensory overload. But for its two-hour running time, it held my kids and I totally enthralled. My six and nine-year-old sons even insisted that the sequel was better than its predecessor. For me, I felt it lacked some of the emotional punch of the first film, but the endearing friendship between Ralph (John C. Reilly) and Vanellope von Schweetz (Sarah Silverman) is heartening as ever. Also, the fact that Disney proves such a good sport and well capable of poking fun at itself is another fine selling point.

Explore the tiered terraces and find that within the glass tower of Riverpoint, there are two distinct indoor venues stacked over each other. The concept is upstairs, downstairs. The ground floor is a groovy rugby bar, a music scene with DJ or live band, the place for exceptional bar food complete with table service and outstanding value. Upstairs, there’s a clubby look to layout with the beautiful Skyline terrace lined with booths. After 9pm, as the food offer quietens (the formal table d’hote menu paired with a wine list), groups can book the cordoned off VIP area and table service for drinks. Thrills?

Rachel O’Brien, Tipperary and Amy Ryan, Limerick. Lorna Gough and Aaron Deegan, Raheen. EVERY now and again you get the chance to catch a band as their star is rising fast, and last weekend fans of Wild Youth had just that opportunity. The four piece band comprising of singer Dave Whelan, songwriter/ keyboard player Conor O’Donohoe, guitarist Edward Porter and drummer Callum McAdam are one of the hottest bands in the charts right now. They performed in Dolan’s Warehouse last Saturday December 1. They’ve had a stellar couple of years touring the world and supporting acts like The Script, Niall Horan and Zara Larsson. Their unique brand of electronic pop-rock has them storming the charts and Spotify streams. They’ve featured in various festivals this year and headlined in Dublin and London. Wild Youth are currently dividing their time between the two cities, writing and recording for their album so it was a fantastic opportunity for fans to see the band perform here in Limerick. Not surprisingly, people travelled from all over Ireland for the gig to see the one of the biggest bands of 2018 in action as they performed hits ‘Can’t Move On’, ‘Lose Control’ and ‘All or Nothing’ to the Dolan’s audience.

Cecilian Musical Society is a proud institution here in Limerick with a rich history and incredibly, is now in their 99th year. What better way to celebrate than with an outrageous and fun show like the ‘The Producers’? It’s the story of a struggling Broadway producer and his long suffering accountant who come up with a hair-brained scheme to produce the most infamous flop in history to outsmart their backers - only to find the show is a smash hit! Director Des Henn and choreographer Barbara Meaney and musical director Michael Young helped bring the hysterical story to the stage with a fantastic cast including Dickie Donnelly as Max Bialystock, Jason Ronan as Leo Bloom, Tara Downes as Ulla, Brian Henry as Rodger de Bris James Malone as Carmen Ghia and Barry Danaher as Franz. As you can see from our photographs, the audience at Lime Tree Theatre had a fantastic evening of music and laughter so congratulations to everyone involved in this year’s production.
