Kenmare

I can't understand it.

And just as an aside, lots of people then caused issue with Michael's son, Councillor Jackie Healy-Ray, been out condemning it because he himself has a conviction for assault which took place in Kenmare back in 2017.

But the point I made in relation to that is, well, actually...

He was actually charged and properly convicted and there was an appeal and the conviction was upheld.

All you have to do is look at, as you said, Donal, small towns, small villages around Ireland.

I said before I got into Kenmare, there was five or six butchers in town.

There's two.

There will be one, and then there will be none, and that's the way it's going.

Paddy O' Daly, after his many outrages, has one further outrage to add to the, uh, the count.

In June 2023, it was alleged that three National Army soldiers went to the home of Dr. Randall McCarthy in Kin- in- Kenmare, he was a doctor, pulled his two young daughters, aged 17 and 21, into the garden, used their Sam Browne belts to beat one of them, and doused their hair with motor oil or car grease.

Some historians believe this has overtones of a sexual assault.

Now, the guards investigated the case and found the three officers who perpetrated the assault were from the Kerry Command based, guess where, at Ballymullen Barracks in Tralee.

Mm

... and political leadership, it's also, you know, a lottery in relation to the, uh, aftermath and, and, and how people fare, um-

It's all, I mean, in a way too, you know, the, the response to that, uh, that attack on those girls in Kenmare, you're looking at the absolute elite of the new state.

Yeah.

And at 8pm, our main event will kick off, Design Kymere Festival organiser Nisha Nunn, who's fresh from Minefield in Electric Picnic.

will be coming down and he'll be hosting a design talk on the stage with a select group members of Khmer creatives and the Le Keala Collective itself.

And I suppose the format will be a relaxed conversation where speakers will discuss their creative practices, collaborations and experiences of living and working in Khmer.

Excellent.

Sounds like a fantastic kind of opportunity for everyone to kind of see all these people in one place as well.

It's the 1920th of...

February in the Kenmare Arms Hotel.

Not the Kenmare Arms.

The Lansdowne Arms Hotel in Kenmare.

And people have already signed up to it.

And emailed Magella on it.

Oh, the Well, Well, Well.

Well, Well, Well.

Was there any section of the course that was tough?

Temple Now to Kenmare and then from Kenmare to Killarney I can tell you every step of them of them two sections because like from Temple Now to Kenmare is literally like no man's land parts of it like I think this year I went into it was dark it was all new to me certain sections of the course was all new to me because I usually got there and was brilliant I was getting into the eight sessions like it's still dark like you When I went into, from Temple Now to Kenware, there's like a, I think it's only like a 14K section.

But like, that can make or break you.

That can make or break your race.

I always say look for those little local parks.

I kind of remember being in one of my favorite little towns in Ireland, Kenmare and County Kerry.

And, of course, nearby is Killarney National Park.

And you can certainly do – there's actually some easy things right there, like right around the lake.

But right in Kenmare, I just remember looking at Google Maps, and I was like, what's this little – I think it's called Rina Gras or Rina Gras.

Little park.

And that's exactly what it was.

It was just like this little woodland right on the outskirts of Kenmare.

And every village he came to in Kerry won the All-Ireland Tidy Town, Sneam first.

And then he came to Kinmare and Kinmare had potential to be an All-Ireland Tidy Town winner.

But I remember, like, no one would agree because there'd be meetings held and one crowd would want this done and the other crowd would want something else done.

And the top crowd up the street would want their side of the street looked...

Is that right?

Yeah, so it's a lake in County Kerry in a small town called Kenmare.

It's right on the coast, right on the ocean.

My grandma's from there and my grandparents lived there like my whole life.
