Yesterday we buried a lovely woman. Due to

there was no wake & our community couldn’t enter the church.
But the entire parish came out & lined the 2km road to graveyard to say goodbye to Betty Ryan.

The pulse of a people….
Ireland’s earliest St Patrick’s Day parade has taken place in Dingle (6am). A tradition dating back to the Land War of 1880s when the British authorities tried to prevent parades, banning gatherings “between sunrise and sunset.”

You have to love this 86 year old’s take on life. Séamus Devane is possibly Ireland’s oldest silage contractor. Cuts 25 acres a day. Drove his first tractor in 1947 when he was just 14 years old. His energy, love and enthusiasm for what he does is inspirational.

Is he Ireland’s oldest silage contractor?
86 year old Séamus Devane cuts over 25 acres a day. Drove his first tractor in 1947, before that he saved hay with horses.
“I love cutting silage with the gang of lads. I love the smell of the fresh-cut grass. It makes me feel young.”

Still no sign of Fungie. Search has been stood down for the night. Dingle boatmen are very worried now. The dolphin has never been missing for this length of time (4 days). 6 boats searched 10 mile stretch of coast today. Saw a dolphin pod feeding but Fungie not amongst them.

Some wonderfully nostalgic footage of the early days of Fungie here... might give a sense of the affection the local community has for this special dolphin.
The search for Fungie the dolphin has been called off in Dingle, with locals fearing that he may now never return. Despite extensive searches over the past week, there has been no sign of the bottlenose dolphin |

Children are devastated by the loss of Fungie the dolphin.
This little boy lives way up in Antrim. His mother sent this message to Kerry County Council, who sent it on to me. 6 year old James wanted to send his picture to Dingle “to help bring Fungie home.” Heartbreaking.

Good News: Dingle fisherman says he has spotted Fungie outside Dingle Harbour. Paul Hand said
"I am one thousand percent certain it was Fungie. I've been looking at him for the last 40 years.”
He says Fungie is enjoying the company of other dolphins further out in Dingle Bay
Concerns growing that Fungie the famous Dingle Dolphin is missing. He hasn’t been seen for two days, leading to speculation that he may have left or died. Boats have been searching but no luck so far. Hope is he is just hiding.

Real concern for Fungie the Dingle Dolphin now.
Boats searching since first light, covering 9 mile area outside harbour. Nothing. Boatmen say Fungie very, very rarely leaves the harbour mouth and never for this length of time (4 days). They fear the worst but remain hopeful.
