FROM FR KEVIN: LOST THE CASE………………..BUT WON THE WAR
As you are well aware by now I lost the case with regards my complaint about the Late Late Show, however, I am delighted that the BAI made the following observation about how the presenter handled the item. A quote from the findings: “It was the Committee’s view that the presenter misjudged the offence likely to have been caused by the use of the term ‘haunted bread’ and that his comments compounded the offence caused to the complainant. While the Committee did not believe that the comments or the presenter’s contributions crossed a line such that undue offence was caused to the audience as a whole, the degree of offence may have been minimised if the presenter had demonstrated greater sensitivity to the potential for offence and RTÉ is advised to have regard to the Committee’s view in this regard”. I am delighted now that the case is closed and also I am looking forward to RTÉ and in particular its presenters to take on board what the BAI has suggested. I feel as a result of this deliberation the Catholic faith and indeed all faiths will be more respected in RTÉ programmes from here on.

MR. PARNELL AT KILMORNA STATION.
(From a Correspondent.) At Kilmorna on Sunday evening, in addition to the splendid greeting at Listowel, an enthusiastic reception awaited Mr. Parnell at Kilmorna, headed by a torchlight procession. Mr Parnell seemed greatly pleased at the spontaneous expression of confidence, and promised to address them at greater length when he returns at the Easter Recess to be the guest of Mr. Pierce Mahony, when he will take the opportunity of penetrating further throughout the district. The accompanying address was presented to him on behalf of Kilmorna and its neighbourhood:— Kilmorna, January 18th, 1891.
TO CHARLES STEWART PARNELL.
SIR,—We, the undersigned, wish to convey, to you, on behalf of Kilmorna and our surrounding districts, our unswerving fidelity and continued confidence in you as leader of the Irish people. We rely on you and William O’Brien to help on the policy of reconciliation knowing that you are both devoted heart and soul to the true welfare of Ireland. In conclusion, we would thank Mr. Pierce Mahony, M.P., for having so faithfully expressed our feelings and wishes in his speech of yesterday, and we trust that at no distant date we shall have an opportunity of again assembling in our thousands to give you a right hearty welcome to North Kerry. (Signed),
James O’Sullivan, Tryon; Pierce Wall, Kilmorna; James Costelloe, Kilmorna; P. Collins, Kilmorna ; Timothy Cronin, Kilkenane; Pat Keane, Kilmorna ; D. Brosnan, Islandanny, Thomas Broder, do; David Dillane, do ; Daniel Leane, do; John Fitzgerald, do ; David Dillane, do ; Daniel Scannell, do; Thomas Kelly, do ; Frank Carroll, do.

KILMORNA HERD OF KERRIES
Mr. Pierce Mahony, of Kilmorna, North Kerry, is offering for sale by private treaty the whole of his famous herd of Kerry cattle, with the exception of some yearling heifers and calves, this affords a rare opportunity to any who may wish to form a herd or possess exceptionally good specimens of our native breed; for we. Are safe in saying that such a highly bred herd of Kerries is not to be found elsewhere, not only are all the animals now offered entered or eligible for entry, in the Kerry Herd Book, but many of them are descendants of cows that were highly esteemed for their characteristic shapes and good milking qualities, long before the herd book was thought of.
The herd was founded in 1882, and the object kept steadily in view ever since have been purity of blood combined with true form and colour, and the development of milking properties. That these objects have been attained, the prizes awarded to representatives of the herd and the prices obtained for many of them fully testify. We cannot in this notice afford space for enumeration of the prizes won since 1882, even in a condensed form, they fill three pages of the catalogue ; suffice it to say that every year from 1883 to 1890, inclusive, numerous prizes (many of them “Firsts “) were gained at shows of the old Royal Agricultural Society of Ireland and of the Royal Dublin Society, gold medals in London and in Paris in 1888 and 1889), and (a most remarkable achievement ) a second prize in each of the three classes bulls, cows, and heifers at the jubilee show of the Royal Agricultural Society of England. In 1891-2-3 Mr Mahony did not exhibit; but at the last spring show at Ballsbridge he obtained several prizes and commendations for bulls and heifers.
The catalogue contains the pedigrees and prices of nine bulls, one and two years old, and of seventeen cows and heifers, varying in age from two to ten years, very few, however, being more than five or six years old.
THOUGHT: Knowledge is proud that he has learned so much. Wisdom is humble that he knows not more.- William Cowper.
