John Maguire, the retired garda, was sparing up this one for when our pub opens up. But he couldn’t help himself.
John and his wife Breda moved in from the famed parish of Duagh to suburban Clieveragh, just up the road from me. They frequent John B’s on occasion and no nicer couple would you find anywhere.

Last week s first big gasp of decent fresh air would have been perfect but for the travel restrictions keeping everyone within five kilometres of the front door.
Luckily for most of the people of North and West Kerry, there s no shortage of amazing spots to savour within the Level Five zone as the population hit destinations across the region with a renewed sense of just how blessed they are to call Kerry home.
That was as true for the people of Listowel as it was for Dingle, Ballybunion, Ballyheigue et al; served as they are by a wealth of trails developed over recent years by the work of Town and County Councils, the Listowel Tidy Towns, local development agencies and more.
