GREAT SOUTHERN TRAIL WELCOME ANNOUNCEMENT: a gas pipeline connection from near Aughinish, Co. Limerick to Listowel is to be provided is most interesting.

LIMERICK BEEKEEPERS: Co. Limerick Beekeepers Association in conjunction with FIBKA proudly present Ian and Ruth Homer on their Nationwide Tour of Ireland.
They will present a lecture entitled “Beekeeping Then (1959) and Now (2015) – a reflective meander through 50 years of beekeeping looking at things which have changed …. and those which haven’t.”
This will take place on Friday, February 26 in the Castletroy Park Hotel at 7:30pm and all are welcome. There will be no cover charge and this will be of interest to anyone who has an interest in bees and beekeeping, not just beekeepers.
Ian with his wife Ruth have kept bees for 33 years in Dorset and in Northumberland. After a career as an Electrical Engineer, Consultant and Project Manager, Ian joined the National Bee Unit in 1999 and was a seasonal bee inspector in Northumberland, Tyne & Wear and Co. Durham, then in Devon, before becoming Regional Bee Inspector for Southern England and later Extension and Learning Officer, retiring from the NBU in July 2011.
Ian’s major interests are encouraging beekeepers to practice good bee husbandry and attempting to present beekeeping issues in a practical and straightforward way. He feels strongly that if beekeepers can develop a greater understanding of their bees, they will derive more pleasure from keeping them. He is currently an elected Trustee of the British Beekeepers Association.
THOUGHT: It is the duty of the pulpit to say the same things over and over and over again. They must be clothed in different phraseology, and illumined by fresh illustration, and approached by a new line of thought; but the things that are really worth saying must be said repeatedly.

LISTOWEL PETTY SESSIONS Licensing Act Prosecutions. The Poet of Knockanure.
(Before Messrs. J. Woulfe Flanagan, R.M., and J C. Harnett). Drunks. The following were fined for drunkenness :—Ellen Godfrey, Listowel, 7s. 6d.; Nora Flavin, 5s.; Daniel Hurley, 7s. 6d.; John Foley, Lixnaw, 5s.; Daniel Dowling, Ballinageragh, 7s. 6d.; Thomas Riordan, Foildarrig,5s.
John Connor, Duagh, was summoned for a like offence. Mr. Walsh, D.I.—The condition of Duagh on last Sunday was very bad from drunkenness, your worship. I wish to bring that under your notice. Mr. Flanagan—What was in Duagh last Sunday? Mr. Walsh—A funeral, your worship. (Laughter.) The defendant in this case produced a pledge, and the case was adjourned for six months. Michael Galvin, Kilcaramore, was fined 5s. for two cases of drunkenness, and Daniel McAuliffe, 5s.; Thomas Sheehy, Duagh . 7s. 6d.
By the Doctor’s Orders. Constable Lillis summoned Thomas Harrington for drunkenness on the public Street. The defendant said he had the pledge for a long time, but he got sick, and was compelled to break it. Mr. Flanagan—Who compelled you to break it? Defendant—Dr. O’Halloran, sir. Chairman—I don’t think there is a doctor in the United Kingdom would ask a person to break the pledge as a cure for sickness. Defendant—He said I’d want a little drop of whiskey occasionally. (Laughter.) A man named Dillane, having got a character of high ” respectability,” was only fined 6d. for drunkenness ; Michael Brosnan, Coilbee, 2s. 6d. Patrick Drury, the ” bard of Knockanure,” when called, came on to the witness table, and was charged by Constable Lillis with drunkenness. Mr. Flanagan—Was he as drunk as he is now? Witness-—He was worse, your worship. (Laughter.) The defendant (in a rather huskey voice)—Give us a chance. Mr. Flanagan—Is that his usual way of talking and getting on, or is he shamming? Witness—Oh, begor, your worship. ’tis no shamming at all—quite natural. (Laughter). He is drunk now. Sergeant Costelloe explained that the defendant was in the lock-up last night for drunkenness, and he was not “out of it” yet. (Laughter.) Mr. Flanagan—We’ll adjourn the case for a week. I think his head is not quite clear at present.
Defendant (bursting into impromptu “poetry,” as he descended with the aid of a friendly constable)—”Well, my dear, I’m not quite clear This day week I’ll be any clearer, And while I’ve rope I only hope The porter will be no dearer.
(Loud laughter.)
