Kerry's Eye

God, yeah, definitely.

Well, you know, back to where it all started and I have to give credit to the owner of the Kerry's Eye, Padraig Kennelly.

And himself and his wife, Joan, founded that newspaper.

And I saw an advertisement for a trainee journalist, was it? Can't remember what the ad was for, but anyway, I went and this was before I did my leaving.

Maybe you'll help me with this one.

Caught my eye from the Kerry's Eye, the 1st of October edition.

Dingle needs a parking plan.

The town is thriving but the streets are clogged and proposal for a two-hour car parking limit.

The pay and display here down on the waterfront, it was full at six, seven o'clock and people were waiting for spaces.

So there's more cars than there are parking spots clearly in this lovely town.

So Kerry's Eye, a good local Kerry paper, actually edited by a Dingle man now, Declan Malone started there last month.

The crux of this, Bobby, is that Dingle is booming.

The personal injuries claim taken by English golfer Kieran James was settled last week for close to 80,000 and includes compensation, medical expenses and legal fees.

And that arose out of an unprovoked assault on Mr. James in Kinmare County Kerry in December 2017, which led to the two sons of TD Michael Healy-Ray and their friend Malachy Scannell being convicted of a serious assault offences relating to that and the local paper Kerry's Eye have reported on that one so that's in the Irish Daily Mail and that story there so like a lot of stuff in the papers about different things we'll be bringing you a lot of those topics as the morning goes on and as we said we will have Johnny Luby here after 10 but just to bring you part of our new series here we have the first instalment of a new series this morning here now.

Memory Keepers is a 12-part series capturing the rich and personal life stories of older people from across County Tipperary.

And through their stories, we hope to open a window into life in Tipperary in years gone by.
