It’s a while since we all made our new year’s resolutions, and – with Lent nearly over – the temptation to slip straight back into unhealthy eating habits is just around the corner.
But Fiona Keohane, a registered dietitian, says that we can all make simple changes to our diets that will have positive and lasting effects on our health and fitness.
THE Caha Centre Family resource Centre in Adrigole is offering a variety of spring workshops and courses, including:
Lauragh Sewing/Quilting/Craft Course. An opportunity to get together one night a week to explore the crafts of sewing, quilting, crocheting and knitting. The cost to participants would be 30 euro for 6 nights; concessions are available. We need a minimum number of 10/12 participants are needed.
Closure – Adrigole Garda Station.
A PUBLIC public meeting was held at the Caha Centre in Adrigole on the Beara Peninsula recently to discuss the closure of Adrigole Garda Station at the end of January.
The meeting was attended by inspector Joe O’Connor, Sergeant Fachtna O’Donovan and Garda Aidan Cremin who is now being transferred to Castletownbere Station.

A HUGE crowd turned out in Adrigole on Saturday 29th December for the 10th anniversary John Lock O’Sullivan memorial between the Beara 1997 County senior champions against the Adrigole 2006 junior county champions.
Adrigole Garda Station will close.
THE announced closure of 100 Gardá stations across the country in 2013 has left many people worried for the safety of their families and businesses in isolated areas.
In the West Cork region the Gardá stations in Adrigole and Ballinspittle have been earmarked for closure, a move, which Beara councillor Danny Crowley (FF) feels will be an open invitation to criminals.

Marine Harvest says the expansion will create jobs in Bantry Bay.
A CAMPAIGN opposed to the expansion of the Marine Harvest salmon farm at Shot Head in Bantry Bay is seeking support from local people in Bantry and Beara.
More than 7,000 homes will be receiving leaflets, distributed by An Post, from the Save Bantry Bay Committee (SBB) calling on all those living and working on the shores of Bantry Bay to oppose any new salmon farm.
