The move comes as the Minister for Transport and Tourism, Leo Varadkar TD finalises the Government’s new aviation policy, which will include recommendations about the future structures of regional airports like Kerry Airport. The Government currently supports services to and from Kerry Airport through the State funded Public Service Obligation (PSO) contract. Under the current contract, which is set to expire later this year, 2 return services per day operate between Kerry and Dublin Airports. A decision whether or not to maintain the current PSO structure is due to be made in the coming weeks.

Have You Reviewed Your Pension Recently? As you have probably seen or read in the news recently it is very important that everybody with an existing pension plan should review their pension URGENTLY. This is mainly because you need to know what kind of funds your pension is invested in, your pension can be invested in very low risk funds to very high risk funds which means that the value of your pension can substantially reduce if the fund you are invested in falls substantially in value. You also need to look at the fees and charges associated with your pension, there may be more competitive options available to you where the fees and charges are less. The result of doing this is that the amount you will have in your pension plan will be substantially more in a plan with lower fees and charges. So whether you are currently contributing to a pension or not contributing to a pension that you were contributing to before it is important that your pension is reviewed now, to discuss this you can contact

Invalidity Pension changes

Question I am getting Invalidity Pension. Will my payment be increased when I reach 65 years of age later this year?

Answer No. As a result of changes announced in Budget 2014, the higher payment at age 65 is no longer made.

Invalidity Pension is a weekly payment for people who cannot work because of a long-term illness or disability and who are covered by social insurance (PRSI). From 2 January 2014, in line with the abolition of the State Pension (Transition), the higher weekly Invalidity Pension rate of €230.30, paid when claimants reached age 65, has been discontinued. Previously, at age 65 the rate of payment increased to the same rate as the State Pension (Transition).

The rate now payable to people aged 65 (and under) is €193.50 per week. This change applies to those claiming Invalidity Pension who reach their 65th birthday on 2 January 2014 or later. Existing 65-year-old claimants are not affected by the change.

People who are getting Invalidity Pension (existing and new recipients) will continue to be automatically transferred to State Pension (Contributory) at age 66 and they will then receive a weekly rate of €230.30.

There is also a change to the weekly rate payable to some qualified adults of those claiming Invalidity Pension. For those qualified adults who reach their 66th birthday on or after 2 January 2014, the weekly rate payable has been standardised at €138.10 per week. Existing qualified adults who reached the age of 66 before 2 January 2014 are not affected by the change.

Further information is available from the Citizens Information Centre below.

With Spring upon us, even though the weather is unfavourable for gardeners at the moment there are still certain jobs to be done in the garden. Before you start work it is essential to complete a good tidy up – however as the weather has been so bad over the past few weeks, try to avoid too much traffic on the lawn. Following this, its time to start pruning back all deadwood from shrubs and hedges after the winter. A good pair of secateurs is one of the most important tools in the garden and this ensures clean cuts when used properly. Among the most important plants to be pruned at this stage are herbaceous perennials such as Hostas, Day Lillies and Astilbies. These can be pruned by cutting away the dead foliage and dead wood. It is important to mulch around the plants following the pruning as new growth will be emerging, if it hasn’t already. This advice should be followed for all herbaceous perennials. In the next few weeks you will see primrose and polyanthus flowering. These will flower for 3 to 4 weeks. Following this, to ensure good flowering next spring, it is important to lift and divide the plants and space out accordingly or else to re- pot. At this time of year it is very important to look after out door container plants to ensure good growth and flowering for the rest of the year. Firstly remove the first 2 inches of compost, if possible. Then add fresh compost and a slow release fertilizer. If any of your plants are ericaceous (acid-loving) for example azaleas, rhododendron, camellia etc, it would be important to add a compost such as brown gold. These jobs should keep you busy over the coming week (weather permitting) and next week I will focus on Spring colour.

Get out of your own way! Have you ever found yourself wanting to make some positive changes in your life only to find that the only person from stopping you from getting what you want is YOU? Sometimes it’s almost easier when someone else seems to be standing between you and the thing you say you want. At least you can have a discussion, put your case forward, take action to find a way to negotiate. But when it comes to ourselves, we tend to do none of the above and give in to the fearful voice inside our heads that say we can’t achieve it, or we tell ourselves that we will do it tomorrow, or scare ourselves by thinking “what would other people think?” Why do we do this when we know that doing what we want would simply make us happier? The answer is because we have become so used to the habitual negative inner dialogue and believe what it says. We have lost our power to communicate with ourselves and challenge what we are habitually thinking. A friend of mine once said that she would never allow someone else to talk to her in the way that she talks to herself. I think this is true of many of us. We let ourselves “off the hook” or mentally beat ourselves up. We give ourselves excuses and make up stories about why NOW is not a good time to do the things we want. NOW is the only time we have so why not seize the moment instead of postponing it for one we deem better. Choose the good thoughts and step out of your own way…the road ahead is clear once you remove the obstacles in your mind! I am now taking bookings for my April LIFE CLASS!

Polycystic ovary syndrome 2 Diagnosis/ Tests required: Tests may be advised to clarify the diagnosis, and to rule out other hormone conditions. • Blood tests may be taken to measure certain chemicals (hormones). For example, a test to measure the male hormone testosterone and luteinising hormone (LH) which tend to be high in women with PCOS. • An ultrasound scan of the ovaries may be advised. The scan can detect the typical appearance of PCOS with the many small cysts (follicles) in slightly enlarged ovaries.

What is the treatment for polycystic ovary syndrome? There is no cure for PCOS. However, symptoms can be treated, and the associated health risks can be reduced: You should aim to lose weight if you are overweight Losing weight helps to reduce the high insulin level that occurs in PCOS. This has a knock-on effect of reducing the male chemical (hormone) called testosterone. This then improves the chance of your ovulating and so can help with period and fertility problems and may also help to reduce hair growth and acne. The increased risk of long-term problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure, etc are also reduced. Even a moderate amount of weight loss can help. The best foods to eat for someone with PCOS are those which are slowly absorbed keeping blood sugar levels steady. (These are referred to as low glycaemic index (low GI) foods). This means avoiding white bread, pasta and rice, and choosing wholemeal alternatives. Potatoes and sugary foods and drinks are also best avoided. Most fruit, vegetables, pulses and wholegrain foods are both healthy and have a low GI. Treating hair growth Hair growth is due to the increased level of the hormone testosterone. • Unwanted hair can be removed by shaving, waxing, hair-removing creams, electrolysis, and laser treatments. These need repeating every now and then, although electrolysis and laser treatments may be more long-lasting (but are expensive). • A cream called eflornithine may be prescribed to rub on affected areas of skin. It can reduce unwanted hair growth, although this effect quickly wears off after stopping treatment. • Some tablets can also treat hair growth, such as some contraceptive pills. These can also help to regulate periods and may reduce acne. Treating acne The treatments used for acne in women with PCOS are no different to the usual treatments for acne. Treating period problems Some women who have no periods, or have infrequent periods, do not want any treatment for this. However there is a slight increased risk of cancer of the uterus (womb) if you do not have any periods over a prolonged duration. For this reason some women with PCOS are advised to take the contraceptive pill, as it causes regular withdrawal bleeds similar to periods. If this is not suitable, another option is to take progestogen hormone for several days every month, which will cause a monthly bleed like a period. Another option is a coil which releases small amounts of progesterone into the womb preventing a build-up of the lining. Fertility issues Although fertility is often reduced, contraception is still required to be sure of not getting pregnant. The chance of becoming pregnant depends on how often ovulation occurs. Some women with PCOS ovulate now and then, others not at all. Losing weight can help to improve fertility. Metformin and other insulin-sensitising medicines Metformin is a medicine that is commonly used to treat people with diabetes. It makes the body’s cells more sensitive to insulin. It is sometimes used in PCOS, especially if there are fertility problems. It is usually only started by a specialist. Preventing future problems As the risk of diabetes is increased with polycystic ovaries, it may a good idea to have regular check (once/year) for diabetes, especially if obese, aged over 40 or if there is a family history of diabetes. During pregnancy women with PCOS need to be screened for gestational diabetes (diabetes of pregnancy).

THREATENED GARDEN BIRDS House sparrows, starlings and song thrushes are rapidly declining in number, but there’s plenty we can do to help them in our gardens. :: House sparrows are seed eaters, but they feed live food – particularly aphids – to their young, so try to leave an area in your garden where aphids have free rein. Availability of nest sites is also important; house sparrows nest in loose colonies, so add a few nest boxes to the north or east sides of your house, but avoid locations where swallows breed. They also need large shrubs and hedges to socialise in, so why not plant a hedge? A mixed, native hedge will provide them with thick cover, as well as a wide range of insects to feed to their young. A good choice of plants includes hawthorn, beech, spindle, hazel and holly. :: Starlings also eat a lot of insects, particularly beetles, flies and flying ants, as well as earthworms and leather jackets (the larvae of crane flies, or daddy long legs). Some gardeners have problems with leather jackets in their lawns, but if you can strike a balance and tolerate starlings digging
