based in Vicarstown has just
finished filming ‘Taking Care of
Business’, a new six part TV
series for RTE1.
Michael Lynch, Managing Director

evening slot”.
‘Taking Care of Business’ features
financial trouble shooters Tommy

on a mission to save six Irish
businesses. The series started on
Thursday, 25th July and will run

inclusive on RTE at 8.30pm.

Everyone loves to hear a good news
story and particularly of a
business started in the crash and
growing along with our economy. This
is the story, like a fairytale, of two
sisters, not ugly ones mind, one being
Blarney lady, Annette Enright, who
opened Cinderella's Closet Bridal
Boutique in March 2010 and this week
moved to a much larger premises
closer to her home town of Blarney to
allow their business to continue to grow
for the coming years.
"The customer experience is what we
strive to improve every day we are in
business. We are part of a family's life
when they are going through some of the
biggest events of their lives, like First
Holy Communions, Debs and of course
both Bridal and Bridesmaids for their
Wedding Day's. It is a privilege to be part
of that and helping these girls find the perfect gowns for these events".
Cinderella's Closet has gowns from both Irish and International designers in the
most exquisite fabrics, like french lace, Silks, Mikado and Satins.
"We travel the world to source these designers and bring only the best to our
customers in Cork".
Their new premises at North Point House, North Point Business Park, on the
new Mallow Road is just 5 minutes from Blarney.
Our link to Blarney is a very important part of our business as it is such a
landmark site as well as the people of Blarney being some of our best
customers. We are very proud of this association and we love to mention it as
we have clients who come from all over the country to visit us.
The new premises is 3,000sq ft of decadence and beauty from the decor
to the dresses and means they can cater for a much larger amount of
customers.
Check out their website on www.cinderellascloset.ie or follow them on
facebook on wwwfacebook.com/cinderellascloset but better still, call them on
021 4507777 and make an appointment to view.
It is a fairytale-like experience, we promise!

SOME EARLY TOURIST VIEWS OF IRELAND
In the tour of the French traveller, Boullaye le
Gouz in Ireland in 1644 he observed that ‘their
beer is very good and the eau de vie, which they
call Brandovin (Brandy), excellent. The butter, the
beef and the mutton are better than in England.’
“Their bread was broad oat-cakes baked on a flat stone, made of
stuff much like that which the Welsh call Haver-meal; but their beer is
very strong, which they brew on purpose, as I imagine to verifie the
proverb, ‘Good Drink, is Meat, Drink, and Cloth’; for in the coldest
season they will go bare-foot, and be clad very thin; but they will be
sure to keep their understandings warm, and line their insides well with
their potent liquor”.
He also left a short description of the different types of Irish
dwellings, which is worth quoting. “The towns are built in the English
fashion, but the houses in the country are in this manner. Two stakes
are fixed in the ground, across which is a transverse pole to support
two rows of rafters, on the two sides, which are covered with leaves
and straw. The cabins are of another fashion. There are four walls the
height of a man, supporting rafter over which they thatch straw and
leaves. They are without chimneys, and make the fire in the middle of
the hut, which greatly incommodes those who are not fond of smoke.
The castles or houses of the nobility consist of four walls extremely
high, thatched with straw; but to tell the truth, they are nothing but
square towers without windows, or at least having such small apertures
as to give no more light than there is in a prison. They have little
furniture, and cover their rooms with rushes, of which they make their
beds in summer, and of straw in winter. They put the rushes a foot deep
on their floors, and on their windows, and many ornament the ceilings
with branches”.
A man named Campbell alludes to the smoky condition of these
houses. “Sometimes,” he says, “they have a hole in the roof to let out
the smoke and sometimes none. For to have a chimney would be a
luxury too great for the generality. The consequence is a house full of
smoke, at least in the upper region where it floats thick clouds, the
lower part being pretty clear of it. To avoid the acrimony of which you
are obliged to stoop down, and the poor man of the house immediately
offers you a low stool, that you may be, what he calls, out of the
smoke. And this is, probably, the only stool in the house; for the
children nestle round the fire almost naked, with their toes in the ashes.
Even the women though not so naked, sit upon their hams in the same
way. But in spite of their general adhesion to the ground, the old
people are, for the most part, blear-eyed, with pale and sooty faces.
The hearth is placed in the middle of the house, and their fuel is
made of earth and cow-dung dryed in the sun. The smoke goes through
no particular place, but breaks through every part between the rods or
wattles of which they make their doors, sides and roof of the house,
which commonly is no bigger than an over-grown pig-stye, to which
they have two doors, one always shut, on that side where the wind
blows; from whence I believe it is they brag they have the quickest
architects in all the world, because they can build a house in a day.
They delight not in a variety of rooms, and that they may have all their
family about them enclosed in one room, the good man and his wife
have their bed raised about half as high as the roof, getting into it by a
stone or two set by the side. The man and the wife lie at one end, and
what children they have (boys and girls) lie at the other, their feet
meeting all together, higgle-de-piggle-dee. The rest of the family they
dispose of thus; a goat or an ewe they tye to the beds feet; over their
heads roost their cocks and hens, and now and then how the nature of
their name, foul the foul faces of their master and dame; this dung
likewise serves instead of soap when they have occasion to wash ,
which is but seldom, having nothing besides their cloaths to wear, but a
neck cloth and a flannel smock.”
Otway describes the sleeping arrangements in remote districts in the
1700’s. “The floor is thickly strewn with fresh rushes, and stripping
themselves entirely, the whole family lie down at once and together,
covering themselves with blankets, if they have them, if not, with their
day clothing, but they lie down decently, and in order; the eldest
daughter next the wall farthest from the door, then all the sisters
according to their ages; next the mother, father, and sons in succession,
and then the strangers, whether the travelling pedlar or the tailor or
beggar; thus the strangers are kept aloof from the female part of the
family, and if there be an apparent community, there is great propriety
of conduct.” This is what was called sleeping in “Stradogue.”
The above descriptions appeared in 1904 in The Journal of The Cork
Historical and Archaeological Society.
Blarney & District Historical Society, as part of Heritage Week,
will host a special ‘Walking Tour of Blarney Village’ on Thursday
22nd August. Please assemble in The Square (Village Green) at
7.30 p.m. The leader on this occasion will be Mr. John Mulcahy.
Come and hear some of the fascinating history of our famous
village. All welcome.

Society takes place in Scoil Mhuire Gan Smal (Blarney Secondary
School) on Thursday 5th September at 8pm. All Welcome.

“I would like to nominate Stephen 'Fan' O' Brien as
'Blarney Person of the Month'. Stephen is an
extremely popular Blarney man and is known
locally as the unofficial 'Lord Major of Blarney'.
His commitment to local community is
unwavering. His work down through the years with
Blarney GAA is of particular note. He is currently
secretary of Blarney GAA Club, while still a very
active playing member. Stephen will be
remembered for his recent appearance on popular
game show 'Winning Streak' where he rubbed
shoulders and charmed well known TV
personalities Geri Maye and Marty Whelan. It is
safe to say RTE viewership figures were at an all

BEHIND
THE CASTLE
WALLS
with Adam, Head Gardener,
Blarney Castle
Behind the Castle walls
with Adam, Head Gardener, Blarney Castle
July gave us the summer we had all been praying for (and really
deserved!) It lifted spirits and gave the gardens a much needed
boost. We did struggle to keep up with watering and as a result a few
areas suffered, but I would rather have it that way than the continuous
grey damp that we were so used to. It has done many plants the world
of good. I have never seen our roses looking so florific for so long!
The herbaceous borders also put on a good show and are still happily
flowering away.
Fruit production has been good this year and many of our young apple
trees in the heritage orchard are set to give their first ever crop. Logan
berries are in full swing and we might even have some melons if the
sun keeps shining.
We are in the process of summer pruning our fruit trees. Apples and
pears can be pruned now to encourage fruit buds to form next year and
also to maintain shape or train the tree into a shape. There are two
periods for pruning, December/January and July/August. As a rule
winter pruning encourages growth of new shoots and summer pruning
discourages growth. We also prune stone fruits now, tipping back and
tying in new growth on our wall trained plums, peaches and nectarines.
Stone fruits should only be pruned in early spring or midsummer as
this reduces the chance of silver leaf disease. Fruit pruning is not very
complicated if you follow a few basic rules, and there are many helpful
sites on the internet with step by step guides.
Ragwort is always a big problem at this time of year. It’s the yellow
flowered plant that you see along all of the roadside verges driving into
Cork. Ragwort is a highly poisonous plant when eaten and posses a
particular threat to cattle and horses. Under the Noxious Weed Act
local authorities and landowners are legally responsible for ensuring
that the land within their control is clear of ragwort: Unfortunately due
to lack of enforcement this is not the reality. We do our bit here in the
estate to clear all ragwort every year, but as it is being left to seed
freely along our roadsides and elsewhere there is always a new stock of
seed ready to blow in.
A good tip that I can give is to plan your bulb order now. You can
probably still remember how things looked in the spring. Make a few
notes as to where you would like some extra colour in the garden, then
select bulbs that suit. Too often bulbs end up as an impulse buy that get
stuck in a corner and forgotten about. This can lead to some nice
surprises but often leads to disappointment. Bulbs, like any other plant,
have certain preferences and it pays to do a little research first.
Blarney in Bloom was a great success this year and we have already set
the date for next year as Saturday 12th of July. The garden fair
provides an opportunity for us to show the gardens to local people who
may not have visited before. We have long been seen as just the castle,
and a destination for tourists, but this has now changed. The gardens
are a feature in their own right and visitors are coming specifically to
see them. This is hugely satisfying for both myself and all of our
gardening team and volunteers who have put in such hard work over
the last few years.
I look forward to seeing you in the gardens. Adam

Last year, Courtbrack Harvest Festival was
revived after a long absence and was a resounding
success. It is hoped to build on that success with
this year’s Festival, which again takes place at the
very end of August, and the first step to this was
achieved when the Festival was recognized as an
event of The Gathering 2013.
This year, another day has been added to the Festival so that
proceedings get underway on Wednesday, 28th August with a
5km Family Fun Run & Walk. This run/walk is open to
everybody and takes in a well-known walking loop around
Courtbrack, about 5 miles from Blarney Village. Registration
opens at 6pm on the 28th, and runners and walkers will leave
Courtbrack Community Centre at 7pm sharp. There is a small
entry fee of 6. per family, or 3 per individual.
On Friday night, 30th August, the ‘Come Dine With Us – Our
Gathering’ experience takes place at Courtbrack Community
Centre. Invitations have been extended to family and friends
living abroad to come home to Courtbrack and join us for the
entire Festival, and in particular this great evening, where local
people will host some of their family and friends.
On Saturday night, 31st August, meet up with friends old and
new at the Festival Barbeque in Browne's Bar, Newcastle (near
Blarney) where there will be great food and great entertainment
with Open Air Dancing, and live music from the fantastic Pacific
Blue.
The last event of the Harvest Festival, but by no means the
least, takes place on Sunday, 1st September, in the community
field in Courtbrack with an Old Time Threshing and Vintage
Display organised by Courtbrack Vintage Society. There will
also be a Country Market, Tug of War competition and Family
Fun Day, so all the family are guaranteed to be entertained!
All funds raised over the course of the Harvest Festival will go
towards the renovation of Courtbrack Community Centre, a
much-used facility in the heart of a close-knit community.
Further information on the Harvest Festival is available from
the Facebook pages of Courtbrack Harvest Festival; Courtbrack
Community Centre; and Courtbrack Vintage Society, or by
contacting Karen Mulcahy on (087) 6328337.

42 years of laughing at Blarney
Golf Resort with Brendan Grace
Amazing Grace IS a catch phrase
often applied to Brendan Grace and
indeed very true in many respects.
The genial and much loved Family
Comedian is celebrating 40 Years in
the Comedy Business and is now
more popular than at any time in his
career to date and what an illustrious
career that has been.
Forty one years ago when the 20 year
old Dubliner set off on his solo career
he could never have envisaged the
road of life that lay ahead. Two years
later a Geordie song called Cushy
Butterfield sailed to No 1 in the Irish
charts and the rest is history.
Brendan's latest show features some brand new material and some
'Old Favourites' from his vast repertoire over the last 41 years. His
sense of timing and ability to read an audience is without equal. A
brilliant character actor, his 'Bottler' character is legendary and is
now featured at every performance.
Brendan has a very special bond with Irish audiences and is much
loved by young and old not least because he gives very generously
of his time after each Concert. The 'Meet and Greet' is now very
much part and parcel of each show and Brendan's very down to
earth approach is much appreciated by all.
Family Comedians with the talent and graciousness of Brendan
Grace are as rare as Haley's Comet and only come around now and
again. He is certainly one in a million.
Brendan will perform at Blarney Golf Resort Hotel on Friday
August 16th at 8pm. Tickets are now available at the hotel
reception on 4384477 and online at Ticketmaster.ie

Gum Disease!
You may be aware that gum disease is the leading cause of tooth
loss today, but did you know that gum disease is linked to heart
disease and strokes,pregnancy problems such as low birth
weight, diabetes and respiratory disease? It may be more
serious than you think.
Gum disease is inflammation of the tissues which support the
teeth and attach them to the jaw. It arises when plaque and tartar
build up on the teeth. Plaque can be removed with careful
toothbrushing and flossing. Tartar forms when plaque is hardened
by minerals such as calcium present in saliva. Tartar has to be
removed professionally by your dentist or hygienist. Smoking also
has a very harmful effect on the gums. Every smoker has gum
disease but some smokers are affected worse than others.
You may not notice the gum disease until it is quite advanced.
Therefore, it is important to visit your dentist regularly and to be
aware of the following signs: red swollen gums, bleeding gums, bad
breath, bad taste, gum recession, teeth starting to drift apart, teeth
starting to loosen.
What can you do to help prevent/treat gum disease? Thoroughly
and gently brush your teeth and gums for 2 to 4 minutes twice a day
using a fluoride toothpaste. Clean between the teeth with floss or
interdental toothbrushes. Visit your dentist regularly for a check up
and a professional clean to remove plaque and tartar. At your next
visit, why not ask your dentist or hygienist how best to keep your
teeth clean? It could save your teeth and improve your health!

Hard to believe that the weather was good enough for church to be
held outside last month!
Ireland’s first Family CycleFest is to be held
at Millstreet Country Park on the 24th and
25th of August, encouraging families to make
the best of the remainder of the summer
holidays with their families.
The new bicycle trails launched at the 500-acre
park have been meticulously planned and
perfected, allowing pedal pushers of all ages and
abilities to view the Parks most scenic aspects
and enjoy their chosen route, leisurely or
otherwise. The trails (5kms and 10kms in length)
range from relaxed, off-road low land trails
suitable for all, to more rugged and challenging
terrain, all of which experienced cyclists will
enjoy.
Events include a Cycle Quest treasure hunt, Kids
Cycle Time Trials, High Nelly and Mountain
Bike Workshops, plus lots, lots more. The
festival will feature exciting displays of a variety
of bikes, showing the history of its progress from
the penny farthing, through to the electric bike.
Limerick based business High Nelly Bikes will
also be on hand showcasing an eclectic array of
bikes which were showcased recently on RTE’s
Nationwide. Members of the public who own a
High Nelly, a Penny Farthing or the highly
unusual Ingo bicycle are welcome to come and
display their bikes at the festival.

Why Haven’t People Who’ve Had A Car
Wreck Been Told These Facts?
If you’ve recently been involved
in a car wreck and suffer from
any of the following...
• Neck pain
• Sharp, shooting pains in the arms
• Numbness and tingling in the arms
or hands
• Painful headaches or dizziness
• Unrelenting muscle soreness
...there may be cause for concern.
This may be the most important article you
will ever read about your injuries.
It’s amazing how different life can be after a split
second collision.
One minute everything is fine, the next you are
hurting for days and uncertain if life will ever get
back to normal. Tasks you used to perform with
ease, like reading, concentrating or even
sleeping, now take more energy and cause
annoying pain.
If you feel like this, or have any of the symptoms
listed above, you could be suffering from
whiplash. Whiplash is an injury to the spine
caused by a jerking motion, either backward,
forward or from the side.
Whiplash can severely damage your ligaments,
even if you feel just a little sore after the
accident. If not healed properly, painful scar
tissue will develop, causing misery in your neck
joints for decades.
One medical study concluded 43% of patients
“will suffer long-term symptoms following
‘whiplash’ injury, for which no conventional
treatment has proven to be effective.”
This means that almost half the people who have
neck trauma from a car wreck will suffer for
years. Plus the traditional methods of treatment
like neck collars, ‘wait-and-see’, and pain pills are
not working.
Could This Non-Invasive, Natural
Treatment Be The Answer
To Your Pain?
My name is Dr. Eric Kelly, clinic director at
Glanmire Chiropractic Clinic. I’ve been helping
people heal and be pain free after car wrecks for
10 years. Chiropractic treatment has proven to be
a very effective method of healing whiplash
injuries. Here’s the result of one chiropractic
study...
“The results of this retrospective study would
suggest that benefits can occur in over 90% of
patients undergoing chiropractic treatment for

chronic whiplash injury.” — European Spine

Special Opportunity To Have
A Professional Evaluation
For 10 days only, I’m running a very special offer
where you can find out how bad your injuries are
and if I can help you.
What does this offer include? Everything I
normally do in my “Car Wreck Evaluation”. Just
call before 26th August 2013 and here’s what
you’ll get…
An in-depth consultation about your problem
where I will listen…really listen…to the details of
your case.
A complete neuromuscular examination.
A full set of specialized x-rays to determine if a
pinched nerve in the neck is contributing to your
pain. This is an important step in collecting proof
of your injury.
A thorough analysis of your exam and x-ray
findings so we can start mapping out your plan to
being pain free.
You’ll see everything first hand and find out if this
amazing treatment will be your pain solution, like it
has been for so many other patients.
Until 26th August you can get everything I’ve listed
here for only €40. The normal price for this type of
evaluation including x-rays can be up to €265 —
you’re saving a considerable amount on this offer.
Now you may be wondering why as a doctor, I
would practically give away my services. It’s
simple really. I’ve seen too many people come in
years after their car accident, and have nasty,
degenerative arthritis, most of which could have
been prevented with the right care early on. I’m
tired of seeing this scenario over and over, so I
wanted to offer this special evaluation to help
make a difference.
Here’s How To Get Rid Of
Your Pain
With my Evaluation we’ll be able find the problem
and then correct it. Think of how
You will feel in just a few short weeks. You’ll be
feeling your life change for the better. Starting your
body on the way to a pain-free, normal living.
Feeling tight joints rest, relax, free up. Feeling
muscles tied in knots become more supple.
As you begin to see motion returning to your
joints, you’re preventing and reducing chances of
disability and a crippling future. You’re playing golf
again, doing yard work or playing with the
kids…without pain.
Here’s What To Do About
Your Pain
Call 021-4824450 between the hours of 9:00 am
and 6:00 pm Monday through Friday and tell the
receptionist you’d like to come in for the Special
Car Wreck Evaluation before 26th August.
Call today and we can get started with your
consultation, exam and x-rays as soon as there’s
an opening in the schedule. Our office is called
Glanmire Chiropractic Clinic and you can find us
next door to the AIB Bank in Glanmire
Sincerely,
Dr. Eric Kelly, D.C.
P.S. What will your pain feel like
months, even years, from today?
A study published in the Journal of Bone and
Surgery looked at people who had been in a car
accident 15 years ago. They found that 70% of
the whiplash injured patients continued to
complain of problems related to the original
accident.
With women it was even higher — 80% still had
symptoms after 15 years!
Don’t let scar tissue build up and be painful for
life. Take me up on my offer and call today 0214824450
