No sunshine in Fenit on Friday but conditions ideal for a good work out in the sea. Water temperature is a very comfortable 16.5C and just needs some sun to keep climbing. Hoping July & August will be good for locals and visitors!

Leaving Cert runaway grades inflation will reduce in 2025 as CAO points set to drop. The post-marking adjustment will be an average of 5.5% down from an average of 7.5% last year. An average gain of about 60 CAO points last year should decrease to be about 43 points this year

Hats off to CAO for providing an exceptional application closing date of 6th Feb. for those impacted by Storm Eowyn. CAO normal closing date is 1st Feb but noted that some applicants were unable to apply by then. CAO has given an extension to those who missed the deadline.

Congrats to Austin Stacks on winning the Munster Intermediate Club C'ship. Hopefully, The Rock will go on to capture the All-Ireland title. Congrats also to Crokes for winning the Munster Senior Club C'ship. Stacks v Crokes at senior level in 2025 is a mouth-watering prospect!

I was very sad at the death of Timothy West, who was married to Prunella Scales for 61 yrs. Pru played the part of Sybil in Fawlty Towers. Their life together is one of the great love stories best portrayed in the series Great Canal Journeys. Sail away over the waters, Skipper!

Congrats to Billy Lee & our Austin Stacks team on a classy performance in the Kerry Club Final replay. It’s a great feeling to regain senior status. Austin Stacks will be a major force at senior level in 2025. Commiserations to Liam Hassett & his team. Their day will come soon.

Good luck to Austin Stacks in the Intermediate Club Final replay This is a vital game for The Rock. Regaining senior status is essential. No club has the divine right to play senior football. It must be achieved on merit. Austin Stacks can win on Saturday. Go neirí libh.
