KNOCKANURE is getting ready for major celebrations on Friday night as the village marks the 50th anniversary of the construction of its church – considered at the time one of the most architecturally innovative buildings in the country. Corpus Christi Church in Knockanure was designed by Michael Scott – the man behind Busáras and The Abbey Theatre – who is still revered as the most important Irish architect of the 20th Century.
Love them or loath them, each of his buildings were seen as major architectural works and Corpus Christi in Knockanure was no different attracting major interest nationally on its erection in 1964.
“I still remember it being built. I was a teenager at the time and there was great excitement in the parish throughout the construction. It is still regarded as one of the most important churches for that period in the entire country,” sacristan and Parish Pastoral Council chairperson Margaret Carmody said.

Story
We sold 105 Papers yesterday down in the LOOP. I had rested my GREEN
bag with the papers in it against the light pole and My Friend Terence came
up and told me that the BAG reminded him of the time back in Ireland. He
said that he had went to the PUCK FAIR at Killorglin all the way from
Moyvane a small place near KNOCKANURE. Well he said I met up with my
old Friend Kitty O’Connor (You should hear her sing “BIDDY DONAHUE”)
She hails from Abbeyfeale, I cannot figure it out, Kitty must be a mind reader
because I said to her that day, ‘KITTY I have a bag of kittens here and if you
can guess how many, I will give the both of them to you.’ SHE DID.

MEALS: A price-savvy Cork mum has shared how she cooks meals on a budget amidst the ongoing cost-of-living crisis.
Anne Marie Dollard says she’s saved thousands of euros on groceries since learning how to cook on a strict budget and to get the most out of each of her meals. From small things like changing her shopping habits to growing some of her own produce, Anne Marie has managed to feed herself and her loved ones from as little as 85c per portion.
Slowly building up a well-stocked pantry, investing in a larger freezer to get the most out of leftovers, avoiding big brands and scouring the reduced sections have been key steps in Anne Marie’s money-saving journey. The 45-year-old also started growing veg in her back garden and while it takes a little bit more effort than a quick trip to Tesco, the extra time spent has paid off handsomely for her.

FARMERS: ICOS has identified the following five main priority areas for immediate action:
Suspension of on-farm inspections: ICOS has called for a one-month suspension of all Bord Bia and Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM) on-farm inspections.
This recommendation aims to alleviate current stress and workload on farms and to ensure continued compliance with standards without additional pressure on farmers.
Rebate on feed: A government-matched rebate on feed, mirroring the support already provided by co-operatives, should be implemented, according to ICOS.
The organisation has said that this would ease the financial burden on farmers by reducing the cost of essential supplements needed to bridge the nutritional gap caused by currently inadequate grazing.

DIVINE MERCY: You probably already know about the devotion to Divine Mercy in the Catholic Church.
Divine Mercy images can be seen in churches around the world, the Chaplet of Divine Mercy is very popular, and Divine Mercy Sunday is an official feast day of the Church. The founder of the devotion, Saint Faustina Kowalska, is even honored as a saint.
But it wasn’t always this way. In fact, the whole devotion was suppressed for many years and almost lost for good. It only came back due to prayer, perseverance, and the hand of Divine Providence. This is the amazing story.

80 YEARS: Mercier Press, the oldest independent publisher in Ireland, celebrates 80 years in business this year———–
When he set up Mercier, Seán Feehan was a captain in the Irish Army, stationed at Collins Barracks in Cork. To call him the driving force behind the business would be something of an understatement. He was a man of unusual vision for his time, something which can be seen in an RTÉ archive clip from an interview he did with Breandán Ó hEithir for the television programme Féach in January, 1971.
