COMMUNITY ALERT
The new Committee of Community Alert is busy compiling a list of persons who are eligible for security aids and a representative of theirs may call in that connection. The members are Dermot Mullane (Chairman); Roisín O’Keeffe (Secretary); Pat Aherne (Treasurer); Roy Hallam; Mary Carmody; John Griffin; Michael O’Halloran and Garda Noel Nicholson (Garda Liaison Officer). Notwithstanding the value of security aids, the main purpose of Community Alert is in keeping the community aware of the need for vigilance and the recording of any suspicious activities that would interest the Gardaí. Christmas is an especially busy time for Santa Claus and for criminals who are only too willing to relieve him of his presents. Noel Nicholson is always on hand to advise householders regarding the security and storage of valuable property and the telephone at Askeaton Garda Station is ever ready to hear your concerns at 392102.
SOMETHING FOR EMIGRANTS
The ideal gift for Christmas with a local flavour in the songs by Doris Shire (nee Costelloe), is provided by the DVD of the ‘Rambling House’ in concert in Birmingham. Doris has just returned from her tenth such tour of Britain where she played to packed houses along with the group which is organised by The Irish Rambling House of Lyreacrompane, Co. Kerry. Donncha O’Dulaing of ‘Fáilte Isteach’ fame, who is a fan of the ‘Rambling House’, makes a guest appearance on the recording. Her rendition of ‘Brosna Town’ is a firm favourite of Kerry folk from the north of the Kingdom and it is featured on another DVD entitled ‘Songs and Scenes of North Kerry’. Doris, dubbed the ‘Mungret Nightingale’ from her present place of residence in Camheen, is formerly of Kildimo where her brother Des still resides in the family home. Her mother Meta was a talented lilter who appeared on T.V., while her father Billy participated in many a local concert in the Old Hall and could recite ‘Dangerous Dan McGrew’ and other popular poems of his day without much prompting and with passion. This tape and others of similar content, are available from Doris for a mere €15 and further information may be had from the singer at 061 228155.
