Good Afternoon and Welcome,

Good Afternoon and Welcome,

To issue No.53: That’s a whole year of newsletters, given I’m at risk of this one being the first not to come out on a Friday, I’ll get to it.

South Kerry by the numbers:

  • 12: People represent South Kerry politically on a national and regional level. I emailed all of these two weeks ago

  • 5: Responded on the same day

  • 7: Got back to me in the first week.

  • 3: Have yet to respond, can you guess which 3?

First, a word from this week’s sponsor

Calling all South Kerry girls aged 8-14, complement your existing sports or find something new with Iveragh Eagles Give It A Try programme. Only a week left to register, get on it.

Best Beach in South Kerry?

Votes still flying in, a load for secret beaches last week, where’s the best one?

Is this the most expensive bedroom in South Kerry?

Can’t be can it? Over this past year you’ll have become well versed in houses that are beyond reach of many of us. This very publication has featured many a glorious bedroom, this one though, at €425,000, could well be the most expensive ever. Is it worth it see for yourself. Did I forget to mention the 100 acres + private island, maybe.

It’s The Signs of South Kerry 🎺🎺🎺

Thanks

A whole year of often late, poorly spellchecked emails. You are all wonderful people.

To those even more wonderful of you, wondering where your feature length South Kerry Greenway bit is, well you are getting two emails this week, you should have the first in the next 5 minutes if you haven’t got it already. To those of you with gigantic FOMO you can become a supporter here

Good luck, be well,

Dave
