We are all looking forward to the reo-pening of our coffee shops, restau-rants, pubs, hotels and other busi-nesses f rom the 29th June in the lat-est phase of the current Covid 19 guidelines.

To everyone who donated generously for masks and also online, your kind-ness is much appreciated. As we are unable to open the Nearly New so far this year, our income is greatly re-duced.

Face coverings should be worn in sit-uations where it is diff icult to practice social distancing. For example, in shops and on public transport. Face coverings help prevent people who do not know they have the virus f rom spreading it to others.

Keep your distance and stay safe!

Sneem Parish News 2020

Ref lections on the coronavirus and other news - deadline Friday, September 11 2020. Sneem Parish News would like to record for future generations how life has been affected in 2020 by the coronavirus pandemic. How has the lockdown affected you, your family, your work, your business? Have you learned how to use Zoom or social media to stay in contact with family and f riends? Have you found a renewed sense of community where f riends and neighbours are rallying around to help one another, particularly those who most need a helping hand? For those who remember rationing af ter the Second World War, to which the current crisis has been likened by some people, how does it really compare? And at the other end of the age scale, how are children f inding life away f rom school and their f riends? To ref lect what is happening in the parish during this most unusual of years, send us your articles, poems and photos for inclusion in this year’s magazine. Please submit these, along with reports f rom clubs and organisations, as well as wedding photos, family photos, obituaries, etc.to

Maidie O’Leary ([email protected]), Mary Margaret Casey ([email protected]) or John Downing ([email protected]). Due to the demands of our printers and the time required by the editors to

produce the magazine, we will NOT be able to accept any material for pub-lication after the deadline of Friday, 11th September.

Sneem Summer Festival 2020

Taking into account Government guidelines, the safety of our communities, and the ability to deliver a wonderful Festival, we have decided to postpone our 2020 Festival until 21st to 25th July 2021

Sneem Walking Club

were delighted to restart their club walks Sunday 21st June 2020 under the latest Covid19 regulations. They have a number of guidelines to follow which includes only allowing Club Members to join the walks. It was great to be out on longer walks again and to share the scenery with f riends in the Club.

Sneem Men’s Shed wishes to acknowledge the f inancial assistance received f rom Kerry County Council through its Community Enhancement Programme.

Community News

Parknasilla Golf Course The Golf Course has reopened since 18th May and is subject to the following strict conditions: • Only Members of the Course are allowed play – no green fees are permit-

ted until further notice. • Members wishing to play must book their tee times in advance with Sean

or Liz McCarthy; no Member can turn up without prebooking and expect to play.

• The Clubhouse and its facilities will remain closed until further notice. Cad-dies are, likewise, not allowed under the present protocols.

The restrictions re Green Fees and the Clubhouse will, in all likelihood, be re-laxed f rom 20th July but not before then. More information at a later date. Hope you are keeping safe and well during this unprecedented time.

Local Libraries

Kenmare Library will have a book browsing and lending service f rom 30th June. There are no details yet as to when the Mobile Libraries will be back on the road.

Sneem Playground

It’s great to see the playground open again and with a couple of new pieces of equipment. Sneem TidyTowns would like to thank Norma Moriarty and Kerry County Council for funding these items which were chosen with younger chil-dren in mind. Thanks also to Joe Mur-phy and the CE workers for repainting and sprucing up the playground.

Kerry Hospice Virtual Run

June Bank Holiday saw the Kerry Hos-pice Virtual Run Series take place, a fundraiser towards the new Palliative Care Unit in Tralee. Runners/walkers around the county/country could choose their distance of 5km, 10km or half mar-athon over the weekend and post their distance and time to the Facebook page along with making a donation to the worthy cause. Whilst this was a fun event there was a competitive edge with prizes up for grabs. The event saw two of our local ladies taking part: Mary O’Shea and Geraldine Breen. Mary ran each dis-tance over the weekend but chose the half marathon as her preferred entry and Geraldine ran the 10km. The virtual event saw both ladies taking 1st place in their preferred distances, almost €9,000 was raised f rom the event for this worthy cause. Well done ladies!

Public Heath Nurse

Further to our report in last month’s SCNB, we are pleased to announce that our public health nurse will NOT be moved to Kenmare. Thanks to your efforts and those of our public representatives, that misguided proposal will come to nothing. We should add that we collected 708 signatures of those opposed to the move, a f itting testament to the high regard felt for our public health nurse. The HSE is of the opinion that the stairs in the health centre pose a problem for mothers bringing their babies for developmental checks, this after a 44 year ten-ancy. If this is indeed a problem as suggested (and should two storey housing for families thereby be outlawed?) it was resolved years ago through use of a room In Coomanassig Day Care Centre which is funded by the HSE itself. It is a mystery that this obvious alternative is no longer utilised but there it is. We understand that “alternative alternative” accommodation is now being sought here in the vil-lage. Watch this space. We trust that the HSE will not continue to use the smokescreen of child develop-ment clinics to camouf lage the gradual centralising of the Sneem public health nursing service in Kenmare Primary Care Centre.

Wearing Masks

The current advice is to wear masks indoors where social distancing is not possi-ble. Cotton masks are available in Sneem Pharmacy and Sneem Medical Centre. The masks are made by volunteers and are offered without charge. Many thanks to Mary J. Casey, Sue Russell, Sharon Evans, Tina Davis and Maggie Tin-dale....otherwise known as The Sneem Maskmakers!! Thanks also to all those who donated so generously to the newsletter in lieu of paying for the masks.

They are made f rom cotton fabric and are not of surgical quality, but can offer pro-tection. Instructions for use: The pleated side faces outwards. Those with elastic top and bottom are to go around the head: place the lower elastic around the base of the head f irst, pull up the mask and then place the top elastic around the top of the head. The folds spread out to cover the nose and mouth. (Gentlemen seem to prefer these). Those with elastic at each side are to f it over the ears. Then spread the folds to f it over the nose and mouth. (Those who wear glasses might f ind it easier to put the mask on f irst and then put on glasses for a more secure experience!) The pocket in the back of the mask can accommodate a folded tissue or piece of kitchen roll. This can catch any coughs and sneezes, and should then of course be discarded after each use. The mask should be removed carefully using the elastic and ideally be washed af ter each use.

Sneem TidyTowns Pollinator-friendly weedkiller recipe

1 litre white vinegar 1 cup of diluted Epsom salts

A squirt of washing up liquid. A good tip is to dissolve the Epsom salts in hot vinegar f irst and strain the liquid - this prevents clogging the sprayer. Spray directly onto weeds on a still dry day.

Blooms for Bees Competition

Sneem TidyTowns Working Group is running a Blooms for the Bees Competi-tion over the summer with a f irst prize of €60 and €40 for the runner-up. Any size of display is worthy of entry f rom a tub, window box or hanging bas-ket to a whole f rontage or garden. The more traditional open-petaled types of f lowers tend to be best for pollinators. Check out the opposite page for the best plants or you may get ideas f rom our pollinator beds on both greens. Message the Sneem TidyTowns Face-book page stating your name, address, telephone number and the position of your designated display area or contact Sharon f rom Green Chair at 089 4616573 to enter.

Australian Wedding

Congratulations to Kevin O’Leary (Ardmore) and Michelle Wilkinson who got married on Thursday 5th

March in Margaret River and live in Perth, Western Australia.

Once the announcement of travel restrictions f rom the 29th was made, we re-ceived a very healthy f low of enquiries and bookings, to the extent that we are close to capacity (albeit reduced capacity) for hot-desking clients for 3 weeks this Summer already. If you know of anyone planning to spend time here over the Summer and who might wish to avail of our services, please advise them to book as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. While the employer who was scheduled to start advertising roles for here in April currently has a f reeze on recruitment, we are still very keen for contact with peo-ple potentially interested in working remotely f rom Sneem. We look forward to opening on the 29th of June. Contact Aidan 089 942 0098 or email [email protected]
