I popped in to the Friday Market just in time to snap Anne Moloney being presented with her prize in the traders' raffle. Presenting Anne with her hamper is Maurice Hannon. Also in the picture are Jimmy Moloney and Ella O'Sullivan.
While I was there I took a few more photos of the stalls.
This knitwear stall was being run by a camera-shy nun who told me that her (very pricey) knitwear was being sold for charity.

Good news from Kerry Radio
Kerry Parents & Friends have
won the fight against Government plans to cut its funding by 5%.
The organisation joined forces
with the Federation of Voluntary Bodies in successfully campaigning for the
cutback to be reduced to point three percent (0.3%).
According to the
association, which works with people with an intellectual disability, and
supports their families, its funding has been cut by over €1m over the past
four years.
