“I’m thinking of moving to Grafton Street, Dublin for peace and quiet”, writes Mr Ryan. Contrary to rumours, emanating from sinister suburban sources, life down here in the country is far from being just pothole and puddled roadways; mice in the cooker or rats in the haggard, not to mention the now returned woeful cold, wet weather being currently experienced outside.
The truth of the matter is that at this time of year, I, annually, up and make for Dublin in the hope of getting some brief respite from all the varied and ‘contraried’ activity, that is part and parcel of rural life.
So far, my services have been solicited for the darts team down at my ‘Old Rustic Inn’, latter my cross-roads boozer; by the secretary of Macra na Feirme who felt I look just villainous enough to play Lago (a character in Shakespeare’s Othello) in their local upcoming dramatic societies latest production.
It is little known, but I have this policy of my own: “Join nothing except your hands, and then only in prayer”.
However the ambassadors of the ‘Watery Mall’s Quiz Team’ and the ‘Set Combination Ceil Band’, are not impressed by this policy. Hardly a night goes by without that fearful, dreaded knock on the front door.
Of course up in Dublin one can say “no”, close the door, and get back to watching ‘Coronation Street’, but not so here, in this my rural countryside.
Down the Watery Mall one is obliged, under pain of mortal sin or worse, to be an active participant in village activity and failure to do so could mean relegation of one’s duty in the matter of honouring the little village. And for that failure, one will be made to answer; sure as water runs and grass grows.
I have even tried bribing my way out of the situation; in vain must add. I offered the secretary of the Watery Mall community fund-raising committee a fiver the other night, towards mounting the Watery Mall Tops of the Parishes competition. Thought she would plant a smacker on my cheeks in gratitude. Looking at this filthy lucre as she would have observed Judas Iscariot’s 30 pieces of sacrilegious silver, she hissed “G’way with ye”; insisting it was my time and talents she sought, in return for the honour and glory of the little village. Focusing on the positive aspects of this situation, I console myself with the belief that she was looking for my body.
Now I am a rational, reasonable and tolerant human being and I shudder and shiver at the mere thought of violence, but the next “ambassador” of a voluntary organisation (and there are 76 in the Watery Mall alone) who fails to accept NO and refuses to believe that I can survive just with a book, a bottle of wine and my partner, remaining isolated from all parish societies, will be formally introduced to ‘Twinkie’, latter our very unsociable, hostile, teeth baring, Alsatian dog. And if that fails to throw parish organisations off my scent, then there is nothing left for me to do, but rent a room off Dublin’s Grafton Street, just for that little bit of privacy and peace you understand.
Irish Government approval secured for the findings of the Review of Ireland’s opt-in Protocol on the area of freedom, security and justice (Protocol 21).
The findings of the Review, a legal mechanism that is part of the Treaties of the European Union and which uniquely provides for Ireland to be able to opt-into measures that relate to the area of freedom, security and justice on a case-by-case basis; has today been published.
Protocol 21, together with Protocol 19 and Protocol 20, provide Ireland with flexibility in its approach to European integration in potentially politically sensitive areas and allows for a pragmatic approach to its engagement with the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (AFSJ).
The review, which is available HERE, was undertaken by the Department of Justice and informed by detailed statistical analysis of relevant legislation, internal and external consultations, and by a targeted consultation process with a range of key stakeholders, facilitated by the Institute for International and European Affairs (IIEA).
The Review recommends that Ireland continue to be covered by Protocol 21. It also recommends that greater adherence be given to the undertaking in Declaration No. 56, which was made by Ireland at the time of the negotiation of the Protocol, and which commits to Irelands participating, to the maximum extent possible, in all measure covered by the Protocol.
The Review’s headline recommendations, approved by Government, are that:
Ireland should continue to be covered by the terms of Protocol 21.
That greater adherence be given to the undertaking in Declaration No. 56 to the Treaties to exercise Ireland’s right under Article 3 of Protocol 21 to take part in JHA measures to the maximum extent possible.
The review also recommends the following additional actions that the Department of Justice should consider further:
To participate in Justice and Home Affairs(JHA) measures by default, opting out only where concrete and well-defined national interests are at stake.
To undertake a comprehensive, retrospective review of all the Protocol 21-related measures in which we do not participate and determine whether we can accede to these measures or not.
To consider, to the extent practicable, mirroring via domestic legislation those EU measures which it has not opted into due to administrative constraints.
To explore the possibility of joining the European Public Prosecutor’s Office.
To explore the creation of a specialised body to facilitate the processing of mutual assistance and mutual recognition requests in a more efficient way.
Bunratty Castle situated in the Mid-West region (latter consisting of Tipperary, Clare and Limerick), to Host First-Ever ‘Bark in the Park’ Fun Dog Show.
Bunratty Castle’s Irish Wolfhounds ‘Rían’ and ‘Míde‘.
Dog lovers across Ireland have a new date to mark into their calendar, as Bunratty Castle and Folk Park hosts its first-ever ‘Bark in the Park‘ event on Sunday, June 8th, from 12:00pm to 5:00pm. Ireland’s newest dog show is set to offer a packed programme of light-hearted competition as canines of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments take centre stage at the County Clare visitor attraction.
The inaugural event will see dogs compete across 16 categories, with prizes for the Smallest Dog, Best Biscuit Catcher, Most Handsome Dog, Waggiest Tail, Veteran Dog, and Best Fancy Dress, among others. Young dog lovers won’t be left out either. The Young Handlers category will give children a chance to showcase their connection with their four-legged companions, demonstrating both skill and confidence in the ring.
“We are thrilled to introduce Bark in the Park, which will provide a fantastic day out for families and dog lovers,” said Ms Marie Brennan, (Events Manager at Bunratty Castle & Folk Park). “Dogs have always been part of the Bunratty story—our Irish Wolfhounds are a living link to the castle’s medieval past. “Bark in the Park” carries that tradition forward in a fun, modern way.”
The popular County Clare attraction, known for its medieval castle, recreated 19th-century Irish village, Victorian Walled Garden, and 26 acres of farmland and woodland, will also use the event to shine a light on the vital role service dogs play in Irish society. Visitors will have the opportunity to meet representatives from the Clare branch of Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind, who will share stories of how their dogs support people with visual impairments and families of children with autism. Irish Dogs for the Disabled will also be on hand to showcase their work in providing trained assistance dogs to people with physical disabilities.
Can I attend ‘Bark in the Park?’ please.
Adding an extra touch of history to the day will be Bunratty’s own Irish Wolfhounds, Rían and Míde, who took up residence on the site in 2023. Rían, aged two, and Míde, aged three, continue the long-standing tradition of wolfhounds roaming Bunratty Castle, as they did during the venue’s medieval banquets in the 1960s.
2025 marks the 600th birthdayof Bunratty Castle, one of Ireland’s most authentic and complete castles. A special event marking the landmark anniversary will be held during this summer.
