SIGN THE PETITION (please)
Good Afternoon and Welcome,
To issue No.56. Nice to have a bit of grey to break the monotony, isn’t it?
South Kerry by the numbers:
158: Properties were sold across South Kerry in 2024
1,042,000: € was the sale price of the most expensive; they were asking €1,250,000 mind, was it worth it?
2: Sold for less than €100,000, you can see them all here
First, a word from this week’s sponsor
And Another
Ads €20 p/week, €50 p/month to be seen at least 2500 times by South Kerry’s greatest movers & shakers.

What’s wrong, what’s right, what’s missing?
Save Our Season (& other excellent slogans)

So, last week, you might remember, I somewhat glibly covered this issue with a bit of idiosyncratic pronunciation from one of our local politicians. I felt there had been great work done in generating huge press around the subject & somewhat stupidly, I assumed the OPW would see sense & this nonsense would have set sail some time ago.
Well, it hasn’t. Add your voice to the protest here. Stand up for South Kerry.
Thanks to the magnificent @ruthwildebrophy for the pic.
It’s The Signs of South Kerry 🎺🎺🎺
So, this might be the trickiest one we’ve had so far. A prize for any correct answers.

Congratulations to last week’s winners

This week, Agnes tackles technical difficulties
Dearest Agnes
I am beyond distraught as Issue 54 of South Kerry's finest publication never arrived in my inbox this Friday. How could such a cruel trick be played upon one so undeserving? What is the point of my existence sans the Oracle? Indeed can you explain what is the point of our existence at all (humans, not Oracle readers)?
Oracle Devotee who refuses to check Spam knowing such an August publication as The Oracle could never be classified as such (or could it?).
Agnes Answers:
Dearest Devotee who refuses to get scammed, thank you for your woe.
My sincere apologies for this travesty! It sounds like you’ve suffered quite a blow due to the absence of your beloved Oracle! I’m happy you reached out to the Oracle needs to know these things.
Agh, what is the meaning of life … a question that has a different answer for every single person, does that make millions of meanings? I think so.
For me, life means caring, caring for myself, my family (whomever I am still speaking to ), community, animals and nature. It is tending to all the small things lovingly so all the big things take care of themselves. I also think it’s ok to change your meaning every so often, in fact I think it’s essential.
These days it means lounging around in the sun as much as I can!
Go well Reader,
hope this helps
Well said Agnes. What is woeing you this week? Just
