Senator Mark Daly AUTUMN 2014 MARKSENATOR DALY NEWS Ambulance Response Time Putting Lives at Risk After encouraging the calling of a public meeting to fight for the retention of ambulance services in the area, we were all delighted to be a part of the successful campaign by the Community which resulted in the retention of the Ambulance service in the area. However, by subsequently removing the second emergency ambulance from Killarney the Government is putting lives at risk in all of South Kerry. People are suffering, as the Kenmare ambulance has had to cover the loss of ambulance services in Killarney and in Millstreet. I am fighting, through the HSE, for the return of emergency ambulance services that have been withdrawn from the CAMPAIGNING FOR THE RETURN OF EMERGENCY AMBULANCE SERVICES TO KERRY’ county. Wife of President Higgins, Mrs Sabina Higgins Invited to Dedication of Cumann na mBan Park This year marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of Cumann na mBan, the most important women’s organisation of the revolutionary decade.

  • The Kerry Way Self Guided | Free Download
    The Kerry Way: Self-Guided How to plan your multi-day backpacking trip around Ireland’s scenic Ring of Kerry Many are familiar with the beautiful Ring of Kerry in County Kerry, Ireland, but far fewer are aware that the entire route can be walked instead of driven. Despite The Kerry Way’s status as one of the most popular of Ireland’s National Waymarked Trails, I had more difficulty finding advice to help me prepare for it than I did for hikes in Scotland and the United Kingdom. At approximately 135 miles, it’s also the longest of Ireland’s trails, and in retrospect I’ve noticed that many companies who offer self-guided itineraries actually cut off two whole sections of the route - in my opinion, some of the prettiest sections. In honor of completing my own trek with nothing but online articles and digital apps to guide the way, I thought I’d pay it forward by creating my own budget-minded backpacker’s guide (for the WHOLE route) so that others might benefit from what I learned. If you prefer to stay in B&Bs rather than camping or budget accommodations, I’ve outlined how you can swap out some of my choices for your own. Stats: English Name: The Kerry Way Irish Name: Slí Uíbh Ráthaigh Location: Iveragh Peninsula, County Kerry, Ireland Official Length: 135 miles (217 km), but there are multiple route options Completion Time: 9 Days is the typical schedule High Point: 1,263ft (385m) at Windy Gap, between Glencar and Glenbeigh Route Style: Circular Loop Table of Contents: (Click to Jump To) Preparedness: Things to Consider Weather Gear Amenities Currency Language Wildlife Cell Service Physical Fitness Popularity Waymarking To Camp or Not to Camp? Emergencies Resources Getting There // Getting Around Route // Accommodations Preparedness: Things to Consider WEATHER According to DiscoveringIreland, “the average number of wet days (days with more than 1mm of rain) ranges from about 150 days a year along the east and south-east coasts, to about 225 days a year in parts of the west.” Our route along the Iveragh Peninsula follows the southwest coast of Ireland.

It is a magical place to discover on foot, from rugged cliffs to golden beaches, small villages, green pastures, peat bogs and always picturesque mountain ranges in sight. Hiking the Kerry Way allows you to see the “real” Ireland, away from crowds and only the sounds of nature to accompany you. This area was first settled around 300 BC by the people of Ciar – an early Celtic Tribe, and your holiday will immerse you in almost 10,000 years of dramatic history. Come and discover this region of Kerry known as the Iveragh Peninsula or more famously “The Ring of Kerry” & you will wonder why it has taken you so long to discover such an idyllic part of the world. This holiday begins & ends in Killarney and takes you to the eastern highlights of this trail.

During Easter Week, 1914, I sat for this examination in Killarney and was introduced to a "National" Volunteer drilling parade at the old Temperance Hall.

While in training at De La Salle, Waterford, we took part with much gusto in Redmondite Volunteer parades. The atmosphere was very much pro-British previous to Easter Week and we all sang "It's a long way to Tipperary" and the other catchy refrains. We were very green.
