UP KERRY’
Or THE BOYS OF THE GOLD AND GREEN.
New Song on the victory of the Kerry Team at Jones’s Road on Sunday. June 29th, 1913.
Lift high your heads to-day, boys,
Let ” Up Kerry!” be the cry;
Strike up the drums, light up the fires,
And lift your banners high;
For the boys are coming home to-night
Our dashing, brave Fifteen—
Bringing fresh laurels to “The Kingdom,”
The boys of the Gold and Green.
Now, Louth, where’s all your boasting?
Your “wee county” is down and out,
But whilst our boys we’re toasting
We’ll drink one to little Louth;
For tho’ they’re vanquished foemen
They are Irish brave and bold,
And some day they’ll strike for their native land
With the boys of the Green and Gold.
A health to Mullins and Jack Lawlor
Maurice McCarthy and Tom Rice,
Tom Costelloe and Con Clifford,
And Pat Shea, who’d jump the skies;
Captain Dick and Skinner,
- Doyle, and P. Breen,
- Healy and Connie Murphy—
True men of the Gold and Green.
Drink up to young Moriarty,
From North Kerry’s capital town;
And the health of P. Kenneally,
A Ranger from the Laune;
A cheer for Jerry Collins,
Who coached our brave Fifteen,
And the trainer, Billy Connor,
Who deserves well of the Gold and Green.
God bless you all, brave Kerrymen,
God strengthen your iron backs,
May your sons and their descendants
Follow in your tracks
And fill historic Kerry
With a race like you have been;
Let your war cry be “Up Kerry!”
And success to the Gold and Green.

Ten tips on waste
- Attire: Wedding attire, particularly for brides, can be worn only once and then discarded or kept in storage indefinitely, leading to unnecessary waste.

Laundry detergents, generally ignored in the water pollution discussion, add yet another dimension: 16% of the Danube’s phosphate loads stem from detergents, causing the EU to take first legislative steps for a total ban on phosphates in detergents.
The fashion week tents have been packed up and the models sent home until the next collection debuts, but one deeply entrenched industry trend shows no sign of stopping: Fast fashion, which has become one of the biggest sources of pollution in the world. According to a recent report, the textile industry emits more greenhouse gas emissions than international shipping and aviation combined. And the amount of waste the industry generates, as well as how much water and resources it uses, is increasing.

CENSUS: It is the first time in 171 years that Ireland’s population exceeded the five million threshold. There were 5,149,139 people in the State on Sunday, April 3rd, 2022, an 8 per cent increase since April 2016.
Comment, thousands of Irish abroad the government watched them go and are now replacing them with people from other countries. In the long term, it will reduce the Catholic ethos of Ireland.
