We are seeking additional audio content that can be broadcast in our regular radio slots on BBC Radio Ulster and Radio Foyle as part of our summer schedule in July and August, at Christmas, Easter and on bank holidays. Content for Podcast series on BBC Sounds will also be considered.

We wish to commission 30 minute series which have the potential to be returning. We will consider short and long series offering a minimum of 4 episodes and a maximum of 10 episodes. The content of these series should not be time-specific.

We are keen to develop new audio content in Comedy and Drama.

This year, we would like to encourage new writers to get in contact with us, those whose work has never been produced for radio or television before. We will place an emphasis on skills development with a view to writing a script for radio drama, in particular.

Content which would complement our special annual broadcasting blocks for radio will also be considered, specifically for Seachtain na Gaeilge (1-17 March annually) and Oireachtas na Gaeilge 2025 (end of October).

Subscriptions will be thankfully received by any of the undersigned and will be duly acknowledged in the Press Sean Brouder, Newcastle West Chairman; Ben Sullivan, Dromcollogher, Vice Chairman; Gearold McAullffe, Newcastle West, Hon. Secretary ; Jas. Halpin, Shannon Grove, Pallaskenry, and G. McAuliffe, Hon. Treasurers.

Mr. Denis Guiney, of Dublin, has kindly presented a trophy to which, is added a very valuable set of replicas donated, by the Abbeyfeale I.R.A. veterans. This will, no doubt, be an incentive to the first class football, one expects from such famed counties as Kerry and Mayo.

HOW HEIDELBERG WAS SAVED; HOW COMMONSENSE OVERCAME MILITARY STRATEGY

On the banks of the beautiful Neckar, near its confluence with the Rhine, nestles, picturesque old Heidelberg, one of the few cities of its size in Germany untouched by the destruction of World War 11. It owes its escape to a lanky American officer, Major General William Biederlinden and the co-operation of a few determined Heidelberg citizens. Break. (See Paper for full story)

PROMOTE economic development in Co Kerry

This is the clear blunt and extremely urgent task of the Co-Development Team which was set up earlier this year by the Minister for Finance. The story of how it is being tackled was unfolded last week when I toured Kerry last week with the Team Secretary Bobby Buckley, and saw or heard of the projects and plans motion already.

The urgency of development, which I had previously known to be falling population, low incomes and lack of job opportunities, was brought to life as I sheltered with John B. Keane under a dripping thorn hedge in the Valley of Knockanure.

BALLAD CORNER as Sung by the WOLFE TONES

THE WOLFE TONES first came into being, as a Trio, during the Summer of 1963. Three Dublin lads, Derek and Brian Warfield, and Noel Nagle, who grew up together, decided that they had more than just a passing interest in the revival of traditional Folk Music and Song. (See Paper for more on the group)

There was Walsh and Lyons and the Dalton boys They were young and in their prime

They rambled to a lonely spot where the Black-and-Tans did hide.

Where the Republic bold they did uphold, though outlawed on the Moor

And side by side they fought and died In the Valley of Knockanure.

They took them then beside the fence to where the furze did bloom

Like brother so they faced the foe to meet their dreadful doom

When Dalton spoke his voice it broke with passion proud and pure

For our land we died as we faced the sky In the Valley of Knockanure.

was at Newcastle West Court told the story of how a public house sing-song was interrupted when the singer received a blow that caused injuries necessitating medical treatment and three stitches to a wound in the chin.

Before the Court as a result of the Incident was Gerald Enright, factory worker, Loughill East, Newcastle West, who was fined a total of 50 with 4-4 expenses for assaulting and causing actual bodily harm to John Doody, Ballyloughane, on 3rd May; and assaulting Thomas Sexton, farm labourer, Camus. Sexton was fined 10 for assault on Enright on the same occasion, and an application by the Gardai to have Enright bound to the peace was adjourned until December. Imposing the fines, the Justice said It was Intolerable that offences of this kind involved publicans who could not conduct their business without having brawls of this kind Inflicted on them and trouble caused to Gardai as well as doctors.

A TRUE Gael of the old stock was laid to rest in the cemetery at Knockanure recently. Padraig O Ceallachain had answered the final rollcall and the large gathering at his graveside had come from far and near. His past pupils were there in number, his teacher-colleagues of former days and his comrades-in arms of soldiering times. Dignitaries of the Church officiated at the funeral and all had come to pay their last respects to a man they held in very high esteem.

A WAR of Independence tragedy will be remembered on Friday night when a film, about it will-be screened for the first time. The film, made by Moyvane man Leo Finucane, aged 27, has a cast-of 37, made up entirely of locals. It will be shown in the Recreation Centre, Knockanure. It recalls an incident towards the end of the Irish War of Independence in which four members of the Republican Army were captured by Black and Tans in the Valley of Knockanure.

He was born in the latter part of the 19th century but by the time he died about 40 years ago his fame had spread as far as New York where Listowel man, Freddy Hassett of Bridge Road was fond of reciting his rhymes in a pub in the Bronx.

According to those who remember him, he was full of devilment and he was loved for it. He never went to school and all his rhymes came straight out of his head.
