Over 400 licences to cull deer issued in Kerry in 2022 (Radio Kerry)

Wild deer are protected under the wildlife acts but there's an annual open season during which deer can be legally shot under licence.

Up to December 16th, 369 licences were issued under section 29 of the act and 53 were granted under section 42 of the same legislation to cull deer in Kerry. Section 42 of the same act provides that where protected wild animals are causing serious damage to food, livestock, poultry or agricultural crops the owner or occupier, may on application to the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, seek permission to take appropriate steps to stop this damage. That’s according to figures released by the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage.

Goalkeeper with Kerry roots eager to step out from the shadows and ... (Irish Mirror)

The uncapped Bristol City goalkeeper - in FA Cup action tomorrow - was in six of Ireland's 10 match-day squads in 2022.

I played against Caoimhin Kelleher in that one and will always remember it.” I'm just trying to be consistent with my performances and I’ll be ready when needed.” I’m getting a good flow going and I feel good.” It’s a different environment and really positive. “Sadly, my granddad passed away a few years ago. I was really surprised but didn’t think twice. “Stephen came to meet me last year and told me he’s watching my games and it’s nice knowing that I’m in the back of his mind, if and when I’m needed. “I got the call early enough in the day, was on a plane to Portugal that evening and got into camp for training the following morning.” “Gav has been brilliant since he has come in, Caoimhin has been good when he has played games and Mark is now playing in the Premier League at Bournemouth. “My Dad has loved coming over to Ireland for some of the Ireland camps and games but he's a teacher so it's hard for him to make the midweek ones! “He came to England when he was 18, to study in University, and ended up meeting his wife and staying,” said O’Leary. It was a Friday morning in May, 2019 and the goalkeeper was reflecting on a reasonable season having made 16 Championship appearances for Bristol City.

There are many events held by Conradh na Gaeilge Iarthar Massachusetts and the Irish Cultural Center of Western New England which runs Irish language classes in conjunction with nearby Elms College in Chicopee. “We always have an annual language day,” says Costello.

"It was a personal memento of the time that they had spent together just using Irish during those Friday nights." “She has now written several papers on Ó hÉigeartaigh, has her doctorate and teaches at Queen’s University Belfast.” “Does anyone in the room know who Pádraig Ó hÉigeartaigh is?” de Paor asked. “Even if they don't know any Irish, the people of Springfield come and just listen," says Costello.

Kerry show early season resolve to battle back against Clare in ... (Independent.ie)

McGRATH CUP GROUP B ROUND 2. Kerry 0-14. Clare 0-13. Showing extremely heartening resolve for the battle, Jack O'Connor will have been pleasantly enthused ...

Plenty of promise for Clare too, even without the big scalp of the All-Ireland champions to feast on. Now it was time for a little bit of tit-for-tat scoring. Getting turned over in possession, running down cul-de-sacs, and a lack of penetration in attack, was very evident.

McGrath Cup: Kerry edge out Clare, Tipp win well (GAA.ie)

MCGRATH CUP SECOND ROUND RESULTS Kerry 0-14 Clare 0-13 Tipperary 2-14 Waterford 0-7 Kerry bounced back from their opening round defeat to Cork with a win ...

O’Connor, Conor Sweeney and Jack Kennedy were the main scoring threats for Tipperary, while Conor Murray shot four frees for a Waterford side that struggled up front, though they used 25 footballers over the course of the contest. That four-point lead looked like the very least that they’d need, given the strong wind that was set to favour the home side in the second half, but instead a nip-and-tuck third quarter saw both sides add four points to their tally, leaving Clare very hopeful of sneaking a big win to kickstart their 2023 campaign. Kerry bounced back from their opening round defeat to Cork with a win over Clare at Austin Stack Park in Tralee this afternoon, but they certainly didn’t have it all their own way against Colm Collins’ Banner men, who burst out of the blocks with the first four points of the game and were only reeled in very late in the contest.
