Muckross House was completed for the landlord Herbert family in 1843, Muckross House acquired new owners at the end of the 19th century being purchased by Lord Ardilaun. It again changed hands, in 1911, being purchased by a wealthy American, William Bowers Bourn. The house and estate were presented to the Irish nation, in 1932, by the Bowers Bourn and Rose Vincent families. Muckross became Ireland’s first National Park, in 1933.

WOOL: Independent TD for Galway West Catherine Connolly has told the Dáil that she finds it “extraordinary that wool is classified as a waste product”. This observation is coming at a time when shearing is being completed on many farms across the country, and when farmers may have selected it as a payable action under the new National Sheep Welfare Scheme. Deputy Connolly told Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM) Senator Pippa Hackett last week that wool is being wasted as she said it is being classified as “a waste product.
COLD: Mr Flannery told The Kerryman. “The scairbhín is still going strong! “Sea temperatures are well back as far as I’m concerned. The difference between this and last year is about five degrees, which is colossal. Northerly wind has kept it cold, and a boat recently picked up Halibut.

The Liberator (Tralee) 1914-1939, Thursday, October 05, 1916; Page: 3
Emigration when they know the worth of Irishmen as lighting men they stop emigration to keep them at home that weekly a few might go to fight for England’s glory and nothing for Ireland but to wait until after the war. (hear, hear). What was to stop England in June, 1914, giving Home Rule to Ireland. Had they given it then the men who were now opposing the threats of conscription would give it their support. They had a starving agricultural little country, without trade or commerce or manufactures. He was sorry that Mr. Redmond and the Irish Party before they started the recruiting campaign did not say that the shores of Ireland would be defended by Irishmen (hear, hear). Mr. Redmond and his Party were now going to oppose conscription. “Why did they not oppose it when they had an opportunity? He was not one of those men who would set one party against another, but he should say that the present Irish Parliamentary Party has as hopelessly failed as ever a, Party, in God’s earthly world. Many the Convention he (Mr. O’Shea) trotted up to Dublin for and left his bed at three o’clock in the morning for a minor little question, but why would not a Conscription convention of the Irish people be summoned to give expression to the views of the people. The Party want to divide the country. Redmond divided the Volunteers and is trying to divide the people to attain his own selfish ends
“Shame, ”interjected Mr. E. Fitzgerald. (see paper for more)
AUSTIN STACK SUNDAY. Meeting of Listowel Sub-Committee. The “Permit” Question.
We take the following from the “Kerry Evening Post” :— A very large meeting of the people of Listowel was held in the Reading Room of the Carnegie Library on Monday night, with the view of making arrangements for the prosecution of a collection to defray the large legal expenses incurred in connection with the trial of Austin Stack, who received a life sentence for his association with the recent Rebellion. Mr. Daniel J. Flavin, J.P., U.D.C., chairman, presided and amongst others present were—Messrs. J. Tackaberry, Mi. Woulfe, Ed. Browne, T. J. Murphy, S. Barrett, Wm. Hayes, Willie O’Sullivan, P. Landers, John J. O’Quigley, P. O’Sullivan, Rd. Barrett, E. J. Gleeson, Joseph O’Mahony, J. J. Foley, James Sugrue, Patrick Griffin, hon. sec. ; P. Guerin, W. Horgan, etc. The Hon. Secretary read a letter from the Rev. M. Keane, P.P., Newtownsandes, stating he could not permit a collection being made at his chapel gate on Sunday as it would interfere with the Peter Pence collection.
Mr. Landers said that it was an extraordinary thing that collections could be made outside the chapel gates for the Belgians and Poles without breaking any rule of the Church , but Father Keane, who was supposed to be one of the people could not see hs way at all to allow a collection for the dependents of those who died for Ireland (hear, hear). An Irishman must be a different class of animal to any other animal, especially in his own country (laughter). Things he thought were, being carried a little too far as they were in Portugal.
Mr. Tackaberry—As regards the Listowel collection, Mr. Lawlor, parish clerk , told him there could be no collection immediately at the chapel gate, but it could be hold near it. In the course of a discussion which followed, it was mentioned that the poster in connection with the Stack collection put up in Knockanure, which is a joint parish with Newtown, was pulled down by a person immediately connected with the parish church. It was stated that they would be put up again. The Chairman remarking that was the district where the strongest supporters of Mr. Stack resided. A communication from the committee from Tralee was read stating they were negotiating about a permit to collect towards the object, and when they had received that, they would inform the Listowel Committee when the collection could be commenced and proceeded with. Mr. O’Quigley proposed to proceed with the collection and take no notice of the proclamation against it at all. If they could’nt do that they could not walk the streets at all. Chairman— Well, I propose that the collection goes on with or without a permit. Mr. Gleeson suggested that they wait till they learned whether the people of Tralee got the Government permit before they took any action. If they got the permit well and good; but if Tralee refused to collect without a- permit he did not see why should Listowel collect either, and they would not (hear. hear). The question was then adjourned until the information was received from Tralee as to the permit.
THE LATE MR. JACK O’REILLY.
The Chairman said they should not separate without expressing their sympathy with the family and friends of the late Mr. Jack O’Reilly a popular Tralee man who came home to his native town to die as, it was believed, a result of his long internment in Frongoch in connection with the Dublin rebellion.
