neither Dick nor I need to be told to go fishing, at the first chance of free time we are gone like a shot out to the lakes or up to the river. This brings me neatly to the imminent closure of the fishing for the season, the salmon and sea. Trout fishing finished on September 30th and the brown Angling trout and rainbows on October 12th.

We were pleasantly surprised however to find that the trout had the best of times, are bad anglers. other ideas and kept us entertained either by snatching at our flies or, when The sea trout fishing has also been very good with several brilliant days on hooked, putting up a lively battle before being returned to the water to flight Waterville Lake especially on juniors, although big fish eluded us I know that another day.

My daughter is now expecting her first child who will be born in the UK. My daughter is an Irish citizen. Can the baby become an Irish citizen?

Answer Yes, your grandchild can become an Irish citizen. Any child born outside Ireland to an Irish citizen is entitled to become an Irish citizen. However before the baby can claim Irish citizenship, he or she must have his or her birth registered in the Foreign Births Register, which is maintained by the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs. The Irish citizenship of successive generations can be maintained by each generation ensuring their registration in the Foreign Births Register before the birth of the next generation. If you are living outside Ireland application forms and further information are available from your nearest Irish embassy or consulate. You can find more information about applying to the Foreign Births Register and the documents required on the website of the Department of Foreign Affairs, (dfa.ie)

Once the process is completed, your grandchild will get a certificate confirming his or her entry in the Foreign Births Register. This certificate can be used as proof of Irish citizenship when applying for an Irish passport.

Kenmare Tidy Towns are proud to announce that we have again retained gold medal status in the national Tidy Towns Competition, 2010 organised by The Department of Environment, Heritage and Local Government and sponsored by SuperValu. Kenmare’s markings were up three points on last year, to a total of 302 out of an overall mark of 400. The Tidy Towns Committee are also delighted to announce that Kenmare also had the distinction of being voted second best kept town in Kerry and wish to congratulate Killarney Tidy Towns for achieving the top prize in this category and to Listowel for achieving third place. In monetary terms, the win for Kenmare means another few euros into the coffers, which can go towards the upgrade of the town. A gold medal means a prize of €900 plus, for coming second in Kerry, there is an additional €800. Behind the Scenes It was a tough year for town cleaning and maintenance and the Tidy Towns volunteer committee had to pull out all the stops in clean-up and maintenance work, in communication and co-operation with a myriad of public bodies, local businesses and institutions to get the town in some short of reasonable shape. “The commercial presentation achieved by the town is truly unique and an example for others to emulate”. So said the judges. The wonderfully kept business premises are a big part in Kenmare’s continued high ranking in the competition. It is with grateful thanks that we can attest that some business people and their friends have been more than generous in supporting the work of the volunteer Tidy Towns committee, in one or two instances, lending manpower and tools. in our face.

Our senior footballers had their first defeat OF THE DENIS NAGLE in 9 games in the County League. They were well beaten MEMORIAL TOURNAMENT by Keel away, and though they still lead in Division 3 their next game is also away to John Mitchels, so this is going to be a tough battle. Our junior footballers are in the final of the Barrett Cup, to be played next week end and are not a bad team. Hurling. As expected Kilgarvan won against us in the County Intermediate final in Kilgarvan. It was a good game with the final score 1.16 to 13 pts. Our team started well and were 5pts to 2pts up when Kilgarvan got a goal which brought them very much into the game. Midway in the second half we were unlucky not to get a goal after a penalty attempt by Jimmy Wharton was doubly saved. It is possible Kenmare could have won the game at that stage but Kilgarvan added numbers to their defense and gave no scope to the Kenmare forwards, no matter how they tried. A pleasing feature of the game from our point of view, was the display of a number of minors which was a test of their character. Another good omen for Kenmare is the Minor hurling. We of course play with Kilgarvan in these games and I consider there is skill and talent around. First they played Ballyheigue in the County Shield final and won by 4 pts. Then in County Championship proper, on Kenmare U10 Team winners of the Denis Nagle memorial the 11th. September, they beat a team from the combined tournament played in Rathmore on August 21st.
