Tralee
Tralee (/træ.ˈliː/; Irish: Trá Lí (formerly Tráigh Lí), meaning "strand of the Lee (river)") is the county town of County Kerry in the south-west of Ireland. The town is on the northern side of the neck of the Dingle Peninsula, and is the largest town in County Kerry. The town's population including suburbs was 23,693 as of the 2011 census making it the 7th largest town, and 13th largest urban settlement in Ireland. Tralee is well known for the Rose of Tralee International Festival which has been held annually in August since 1959.
History
Situated at the confluence of some small rivers and adjacent to marshy ground at the head of Tralee Bay, Tralee is located at the base of a very ancient roadway that heads south over the Slieve Mish Mountains. On this old track is located a large boulder sometimes called Scotia's Grave, reputedly the burial place of an Egyptian Pharaoh's daughter.
Anglo-Normans founded a town in the 13th century, which became a stronghold of the Earls of Desmond, who built a castle. John Fitz-Thomas FitzGerald founded the monastery of the Dominican order and was buried there in 1260. The medieval town was burnt in 1580 in retribution for the Desmond Rebellions against Elizabeth I.

General Election: Tory APOCALYPSE As Exit Poll Projects Labour Wins With 410 Seats
Sir Keir Starmer is on course for Downing Street as an exit poll indicated his Labour Party will sweep to power. The Labour leader will become prime minister on Friday with a commanding majority in Parliament, the exit poll for broadcasters suggested. Rishi Sunak’s term as Prime Minister looks set to end in electoral disaster, with the Conservatives forecast to endure heavy losses. It marks a dramatic turnaround since the 2019 general election, when Boris Johnson won the Tories a healthy 80-seat majority and Jeremy Corbyn led Labour to its worst result since 1935. The exit poll suggests Labour is on course for 410 seats, with the Tories reduced to 131. It will mean a Labour prime minister in No 10 for the first time in 2010 and the Conservatives facing a possible civil war as the figh...

Scotland’s Constitutional Future: Implications for Ireland and Northern Ireland
From a shared Celtic past, to their politically and economically developed present, there is much that links Scotland and Ireland. The cultural and historical ties between Scotland and Northern Ireland are particularly close. In the past 10 years, and recently accelerated by Brexit, discussion and debate around the UK’s constitutional future have intensified. In particular, questions arise as to the impact that Scottish constitutional change would have on its relationship with Ireland, and what the implications of any such change would be for Northern Ireland. In this panel discussion, leading politicians and academics from Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Ireland discuss the Scotland-Ireland relationship, and the likely implications of Scottish constitutional change for Northern Ireland. ...

How Ireland Became Bitterly Divided | Irish War of Independence
2023 marks the 25th anniversary of signing of The Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement, which brought an end to 30 years of conflict in Northern Ireland known as 'the Troubles'. This conflict had a deep and embedded history that stretches back over a century. Between 1919 and 1921, Ireland played host to a long and bloody guerrilla conflict between British state forces and Irish republican guerrillas, in the form of Irish Volunteers or the Irish Republican Army (IRA). The conflict would completely transform the political landscape in Ireland. In this documentary, Dr Conor Mulvagh and Professor Marie Coleman break down this critical period of Irish history, and the legacy of the War of Independence today. Directed by Mark Bowsher.

Sinn Fein TD Pa Daly pushing for re-opening of greyhound track
A Kerry Sinn Fein TD has shamefully called for the reopening of a greyhound track where greyhound trainers were seen ignoring the government’s COVID-19 social distancing advice. Speaking in Dail Eireann this week during a “COVID-19 (Tourism)” debate, Pa Daly TD noted that Tralee greyhound stadium is now closed and asked the Minister of State for Tourism if it could be reopened. “I wonder would the Minister maybe look - if distancing can be properly observed - at an earlier opening for the greyhound stadium,” he stated.

High Tide In Dundalk Bay Documentary (Part 1)
Even if you've lived in Dundalk your whole life, there's a very good chance you've never heard of the Lord Limerick Embankment. This two-part documentary examines the history of this crumbling 18th century clay structure and its fundamental importance to the catchment area it serves - Muirhevnamor, Greenacres, The Loakers, Red Barns Road, Cluan Enda, Oaklawns, Point Road, Avenue Road, Dublin Road, Castletown Road, Ardee Road, Seatown. In part one I speak to ex-town councillor Eamonn O'Boyle about his fears and difficulties in compelling the Council into action to fix the structure, as well as to current Council member, Emma Coffey about the €58m budget set aside for the supposed plan to upgrade the embankment by the OPW and Louth County Council. I also hear from local journalist and a...

Surveillance in the Age of Contact Tracing
Faced with the need to limit the spread of the novel coronavirus pandemic, governments around the world are increasingly turning to surveillance technologies that enable them to track the health and location data of citizens. This data is then used to ensure compliance with quarantine, inform people of their proximity to a carrier, and manage medical resources efficiently by identifying emerging hotspots. The Indian government recently launched Aarogya Setu, a mobile application that utilizes bluetooth and location data to inform users if they have been near someone who tested positive for Covid-19. Which technologies have been most effective in containing this pandemic? How should countries balance public health and privacy concerns? What are the long-term consequences of this growing rel...

Sir Keir Starmer is on course for Downing Street as an exit poll indicated his Labour Party will sweep to power.
The Labour leader will become prime minister on Friday with a commanding majority in Parliament, the exit poll for broadcasters suggested.
Rishi Sunak’s term as Prime Minister looks set to end in electoral disaster, with the Conservatives forecast to endure heavy losses.
It marks a dramatic turnaround since the 2019 general election, when Boris Johnson won the Tories a healthy 80-seat majority and Jeremy Corbyn led Labour to its worst result since 1935.
The exit poll suggests Labour is on course for 410 seats, with the Tories reduced to 131.
It will mean a Labour prime minister in No 10 for the first time in 2010 and the Conservatives facing a possible civil war as the fight for the future direction of the party and the battle to potentially replace Mr Sunak gets under way.
After 14 years in power it was always going to be a difficult election for the Conservatives, but the sometimes shambolic campaign – triggered at a time of Mr Sunak’s choosing – has contributed to their party’s likely defeat.
From the rain-drenched speech announcing the surprise July 4 poll, through the D-Day debacle as he left Normandy early to record a TV interview to confused campaign messaging about a Labour “supermajority”, Mr Sunak struggled to convince the electorate he was the right man to lead the country.
Going for a summer election rather than waiting until the autumn was always a gamble, and the Prime Minister was not helped by the scandal of Tory candidates and officials allegedly heading to the bookies armed with inside knowledge of the date.
Mr Sunak is expected to resign after leading his party to defeat, but many of the contenders jostling to replace him are nervously awaiting their own constituency results to see if their leadership dreams survive the night.
The likes of Penny Mordaunt, Grant Shapps, Suella Braverman, Steve Baker and Robert Jenrick all face battles to return to Parliament.
Former home secretaries Suella Braverman and Dame Priti Patel, security minister Tom Tugendhat and Health Secretary Victoria Atkins could survive to fight for the leadership.

A Kerry Sinn Fein TD has shamefully called for the reopening of a greyhound track where greyhound trainers were seen ignoring the government’s COVID-19 social distancing advice.
Speaking in Dail Eireann this week during a “COVID-19 (Tourism)” debate, Pa Daly TD noted that Tralee greyhound stadium is now closed and asked the Minister of State for Tourism if it could be reopened.
“I wonder would the Minister maybe look - if distancing can be properly observed - at an earlier opening for the greyhound stadium,” he stated.
He said "the economy in Kerry and along the Wild Atlantic Way has been destroyed by COVID-19” and that Kerry is “more dependent on tourism than any other county”.
In March, before greyhound tracks were forced to shut down, Irish Greyhound Board race footage from the Tralee track clearly showed up to six greyhound owners and trainers side by side as they collected greyhounds at the end of races. A clear breach of HSE advice to stay 2 metres apart. See: https://www.flickr.com/photos/icabs/albums/72157713579485482
There was disgust at the fact that, despite the risks involved and mounting concerns about the spread of the coronavirus, greyhound racing continued at Tralee stadium up until as close as possible to the 12 midnight deadline on 24th March. On the evening following Taoiseach Leo Varadkar’s announcement, 10 races took place at Tralee stadium and another 10 at Shelbourne Park.
Greyhound tracks - where attendance has continued to plummet in the early part of 2020 - should not be considered tourist attractions, particularly in light of a decision by Tourism Ireland and Failte Ireland to stop promoting greyhound racing. The tourism bodies last year announced that they were dropping greyhound racing from their marketing material, due to fears that it damages Ireland's reputation as a tourist destination https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/ireland/shane-ross-immoral-dog-racing-will-deter-tourists-982nwhwb9
Tralee stadium is one of the worst in Ireland for injuries and deaths. Over the past five years alone, at least 123 greyhounds suffered injuries there and 57 were killed by a track vet.
More and more people are rejecting greyhound racing after the cruelty and killing were exposed in the "RTE Investigates: Greyhounds running for their lives" programme last year. The sickening documentary revealed that 6,000 dogs are killed every year simply because they are not fast enough to win races. It included shocking scenes of dogs being delivered to a knackery to be shot in the head. One shot dog was seen writhing on the ground in agony as his merciless owner drove away. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYTb2qBjlMM
Pa Daly, a supporter of cruel hare coursing, was the only TD to mention greyhound racing during the debate on Wednesday. Despite voting against massive government grants to horse and greyhound racing in recent years, his Sinn Fein party has said it is not opposed to the grants.
Since 2001, more than one and a quarter BILLION euros of taxpayer’s money has been handed over to Horse Racing Ireland and the Irish Greyhound Board. For 2020, while sports clubs, health bodies, schools, animal rescue centres and environmental groups cried out for funding, horse racing was granted another €67.2 million, while greyhound racing got €16.8 million.
Find out more about Coronavirus (COVID-19) and how you can protect yourself at https://www2.hse.ie/coronavirus/
ACTION ALERT
Urge Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, Agriculture Minister Michael Creed and Health Minister Simon Harris not to allow greyhound racing or horse racing to resume.

A Kerry Sinn Fein TD has shamefully called for the reopening of a greyhound track where greyhound trainers were seen ignoring the government’s COVID-19 social distancing advice.
Speaking in Dail Eireann this week during a “COVID-19 (Tourism)” debate, Pa Daly TD noted that Tralee greyhound stadium is now closed and asked the Minister of State for Tourism if it could be reopened.
“I wonder would the Minister maybe look - if distancing can be properly observed - at an earlier opening for the greyhound stadium,” he stated.
He said "the economy in Kerry and along the Wild Atlantic Way has been destroyed by COVID-19” and that Kerry is “more dependent on tourism than any other county”.
In March, before greyhound tracks were forced to shut down, Irish Greyhound Board race footage from the Tralee track clearly showed up to six greyhound owners and trainers side by side as they collected greyhounds at the end of races. A clear breach of HSE advice to stay 2 metres apart. See: https://www.flickr.com/photos/icabs/albums/72157713579485482
There was disgust at the fact that, despite the risks involved and mounting concerns about the spread of the coronavirus, greyhound racing continued at Tralee stadium up until as close as possible to the 12 midnight deadline on 24th March. On the evening following Taoiseach Leo Varadkar’s announcement, 10 races took place at Tralee stadium and another 10 at Shelbourne Park.
Greyhound tracks - where attendance has continued to plummet in the early part of 2020 - should not be considered tourist attractions, particularly in light of a decision by Tourism Ireland and Failte Ireland to stop promoting greyhound racing. The tourism bodies last year announced that they were dropping greyhound racing from their marketing material, due to fears that it damages Ireland's reputation as a tourist destination https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/ireland/shane-ross-immoral-dog-racing-will-deter-tourists-982nwhwb9
Tralee stadium is one of the worst in Ireland for injuries and deaths. Over the past five years alone, at least 123 greyhounds suffered injuries there and 57 were killed by a track vet.
More and more people are rejecting greyhound racing after the cruelty and killing were exposed in the "RTE Investigates: Greyhounds running for their lives" programme last year. The sickening documentary revealed that 6,000 dogs are killed every year simply because they are not fast enough to win races. It included shocking scenes of dogs being delivered to a knackery to be shot in the head. One shot dog was seen writhing on the ground in agony as his merciless owner drove away. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYTb2qBjlMM
Pa Daly, a supporter of cruel hare coursing, was the only TD to mention greyhound racing during the debate on Wednesday. Despite voting against massive government grants to horse and greyhound racing in recent years, his Sinn Fein party has said it is not opposed to the grants.

Even if you've lived in Dundalk your whole life, there's a very good chance you've never heard of the Lord Limerick Embankment.
This two-part documentary examines the history of this crumbling 18th century clay structure and its fundamental importance to the catchment area it serves - Muirhevnamor, Greenacres, The Loakers, Red Barns Road, Cluan Enda, Oaklawns, Point Road, Avenue Road, Dublin Road, Castletown Road, Ardee Road, Seatown.
In part one I speak to ex-town councillor Eamonn O'Boyle about his fears and difficulties in compelling the Council into action to fix the structure, as well as to current Council member, Emma Coffey about the €58m budget set aside for the supposed plan to upgrade the embankment by the OPW and Louth County Council.
I also hear from local journalist and amateur historian Peter Kavanagh on the history of the embankment and its owner, James Hamilton, Earl of Roden, and his memories as a resident of its catchment area. And local amateur maritime historian and ex-harbour employee Charley McCarthy weighs in on his own knowledge of the embankment's history and the flooding he's experienced as a resident of the Coastguard's cottages.
This documentary was partially funded by the BAI Sound and Vision and was originally aired on Dundalk FM on February 13th 2022. Thanks to Dundalk FM and to my contributors for their support in creating this documentary.

Faced with the need to limit the spread of the novel coronavirus pandemic, governments around the world are increasingly turning to surveillance technologies that enable them to track the health and location data of citizens. This data is then used to ensure compliance with quarantine, inform people of their proximity to a carrier, and manage medical resources efficiently by identifying emerging hotspots. The Indian government recently launched Aarogya Setu, a mobile application that utilizes bluetooth and location data to inform users if they have been near someone who tested positive for Covid-19. Which technologies have been most effective in containing this pandemic? How should countries balance public health and privacy concerns? What are the long-term consequences of this growing reliance on mass surveillance?
We hosted a virtual discussion with Anirudh Burman, Anne Liu, and Rahul Matthan, in which they examined the implications of surveillance amid the coronavirus pandemic. This was moderated by Rudra Chaudhuri.

Sir Keir Starmer is on course for Downing Street as an exit poll indicated his Labour Party will sweep to power.
The Labour leader will become prime minister on Friday with a commanding majority in Parliament, the exit poll for broadcasters suggested.
Rishi Sunak’s term as Prime Minister looks set to end in electoral disaster, with the Conservatives forecast to endure heavy losses.
It marks a dramatic turnaround since the 2019 general election, when Boris Johnson won the Tories a healthy 80-seat majority and Jeremy Corbyn led Labour to its worst result since 1935.
The exit poll suggests Labour is on course for 410 seats, with the Tories reduced to 131.
It will mean a Labour prime minister in No 10 for the first time in 2010 and the Conservatives facing a possible civil war as the fight for the future direction of the party and the battle to potentially replace Mr Sunak gets under way.
After 14 years in power it was always going to be a difficult election for the Conservatives, but the sometimes shambolic campaign – triggered at a time of Mr Sunak’s choosing – has contributed to their party’s likely defeat.
From the rain-drenched speech announcing the surprise July 4 poll, through the D-Day debacle as he left Normandy early to record a TV interview to confused campaign messaging about a Labour “supermajority”, Mr Sunak struggled to convince the electorate he was the right man to lead the country.
Going for a summer election rather than waiting until the autumn was always a gamble, and the Prime Minister was not helped by the scandal of Tory candidates and officials allegedly heading to the bookies armed with inside knowledge of the date.
Mr Sunak is expected to resign after leading his party to defeat, but many of the contenders jostling to replace him are nervously awaiting their own constituency results to see if their leadership dreams survive the night.
The likes of Penny Mordaunt, Grant Shapps, Suella Braverman, Steve Baker and Robert Jenrick all face battles to return to Parliament.
Former home secretaries Suella Braverman and Dame Priti Patel, security minister Tom Tugendhat and Health Secretary Victoria Atkins could survive to fight for the leadership.

From a shared Celtic past, to their politically and economically developed present, there is much that links Scotland and Ireland. The cultural and historical ties between Scotland and Northern Ireland are particularly close. In the past 10 years, and recently accelerated by Brexit, discussion and debate around the UK’s constitutional future have intensified. In particular, questions arise as to the impact that Scottish constitutional change would have on its relationship with Ireland, and what the implications of any such change would be for Northern Ireland. In this panel discussion, leading politicians and academics from Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Ireland discuss the Scotland-Ireland relationship, and the likely implications of Scottish constitutional change for Northern Ireland.

2023 marks the 25th anniversary of signing of The Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement, which brought an end to 30 years of conflict in Northern Ireland known as 'the Troubles'. This conflict had a deep and embedded history that stretches back over a century.
Between 1919 and 1921, Ireland played host to a long and bloody guerrilla conflict between British state forces and Irish republican guerrillas, in the form of Irish Volunteers or the Irish Republican Army (IRA). The conflict would completely transform the political landscape in Ireland.
In this documentary, Dr Conor Mulvagh and Professor Marie Coleman break down this critical period of Irish history, and the legacy of the War of Independence today.

A Kerry Sinn Fein TD has shamefully called for the reopening of a greyhound track where greyhound trainers were seen ignoring the government’s COVID-19 social distancing advice.
Speaking in Dail Eireann this week during a “COVID-19 (Tourism)” debate, Pa Daly TD noted that Tralee greyhound stadium is now closed and asked the Minister of State for Tourism if it could be reopened.
“I wonder would the Minister maybe look - if distancing can be properly observed - at an earlier opening for the greyhound stadium,” he stated.
He said "the economy in Kerry and along the Wild Atlantic Way has been destroyed by COVID-19” and that Kerry is “more dependent on tourism than any other county”.
In March, before greyhound tracks were forced to shut down, Irish Greyhound Board race footage from the Tralee track clearly showed up to six greyhound owners and trainers side by side as they collected greyhounds at the end of races. A clear breach of HSE advice to stay 2 metres apart. See: https://www.flickr.com/photos/icabs/albums/72157713579485482

Even if you've lived in Dundalk your whole life, there's a very good chance you've never heard of the Lord Limerick Embankment.
This two-part documentary examines the history of this crumbling 18th century clay structure and its fundamental importance to the catchment area it serves - Muirhevnamor, Greenacres, The Loakers, Red Barns Road, Cluan Enda, Oaklawns, Point Road, Avenue Road, Dublin Road, Castletown Road, Ardee Road, Seatown.
In part one I speak to ex-town councillor Eamonn O'Boyle about his fears and difficulties in compelling the Council into action to fix the structure, as well as to current Council member, Emma Coffey about the €58m budget set aside for the supposed plan to upgrade the embankment by the OPW and Louth County Council.
I also hear from local journalist and amateur historian Peter Kavanagh on the history of the embankment and its owner, James Hamilton, Earl of Roden, and his memories as a resident of its catchment area. And local amateur maritime historian and ex-harbour employee Charley McCarthy weighs in on his own knowledge of the embankment's history and the flooding he's experienced as a resident of the Coastguard's cottages.
This documentary was partially funded by the BAI Sound and Vision and was originally aired on Dundalk FM on February 13th 2022. Thanks to Dundalk FM and to my contributors for their support in creating this documentary.

Faced with the need to limit the spread of the novel coronavirus pandemic, governments around the world are increasingly turning to surveillance technologies that enable them to track the health and location data of citizens. This data is then used to ensure compliance with quarantine, inform people of their proximity to a carrier, and manage medical resources efficiently by identifying emerging hotspots. The Indian government recently launched Aarogya Setu, a mobile application that utilizes bluetooth and location data to inform users if they have been near someone who tested positive for Covid-19. Which technologies have been most effective in containing this pandemic? How should countries balance public health and privacy concerns? What are the long-term consequences of this growing reliance on mass surveillance?
We hosted a virtual discussion with Anirudh Burman, Anne Liu, and Rahul Matthan, in which they examined the implications of surveillance amid the coronavirus pandemic. This was moderated by Rudra Chaudhuri.

Tralee
Tralee (/træ.ˈliː/; Irish: Trá Lí (formerly Tráigh Lí), meaning "strand of the Lee (river)") is the county town of County Kerry in the south-west of Ireland. The town is on the northern side of the neck of the Dingle Peninsula, and is the largest town in County Kerry. The town's population including suburbs was 23,693 as of the 2011 census making it the 7th largest town, and 13th largest urban settlement in Ireland. Tralee is well known for the Rose of Tralee International Festival which has been held annually in August since 1959.
History
Situated at the confluence of some small rivers and adjacent to marshy ground at the head of Tralee Bay, Tralee is located at the base of a very ancient roadway that heads south over the Slieve Mish Mountains. On this old track is located a large boulder sometimes called Scotia's Grave, reputedly the burial place of an Egyptian Pharaoh's daughter.
Anglo-Normans founded a town in the 13th century, which became a stronghold of the Earls of Desmond, who built a castle. John Fitz-Thomas FitzGerald founded the monastery of the Dominican order and was buried there in 1260. The medieval town was burnt in 1580 in retribution for the Desmond Rebellions against Elizabeth I.
