Wrong in so many Ways
This is Mick Wallace’s lone poster in a town where every other candidate has respected the agreement to keep Listowel free of posters.
The poster is big and the image is sinister looking. It arrogantly presumes that everyone will recognise the surname.
This particular corner of town has a lovely little wildflower bed.
There amidst the poppies, the daisies and the marsh marigolds is this.
I have recently visited Ballincollig where they don’t have a no postering agreement and every possible vantage point is polluted with images of candidates.
Cora under one of the poles on Carriganarra Road. Every pole has two, three or even four posters.

An Old Sign
This old sign was shared on a Newmarket Memories Group on Facebook. The distances measured in miles and half miles are a throwback to another era.

More from Monday’s Schools’ Show
The talent on the stage at the two Listowel themed concerts on Monday, May 20 2024 was exceptional and heart warming.
Here are just a few of the talented artists from the participating schools.
These girls introduced the show and set the tone for a spectacular variety of entertainment.
It was lovely to hear the young people singing all the local songs. This young girl gave us a superb rendition of Bryan MacMahon’s My Silver River Feale.
These are just a few of the many talented singers who regaled us.

A Fact
“Lucy Lockett lost her pocket
Kitty Fisher found it….”
How could someone lose her pocket?
Answer; In the 17th and 18th century, a pocket was actually a piece of material fashioned into a pouch that ladies wore tied with cords around their waists. These ‘pockets’ were accessed through slits in skirts and petticoats. Because they carried everything in them, the strings sometimes came undone and the pocket was mislaid.
