Beara and Allihies 13 year old Féile was recently very seriously injured in a farm accident - she has lost both her legs and suffered extensive injuries to her lower abdomen.
Féile has bravely endured more than 30 surgeries so far and will need massive practical and financial support in the months and years to come.
The third Aoife Murphy Memorial Walk supporting the charity Cancer Connect took place over the Eyeries Festival weekend. Many walkers took part and raised the amazing sum of €2170 !
Aoife, whose mother Frances lives in Eyeries, sadly passed away suddenly in August 2022 from a previously undiagnosed brain tumour.
The money raised in Aoife's memory this year will go to the charity Cancer Connect which provides free transport for patients to cancer related treatment and appointments in Cork hospitals. This service is very important in rural areas and all drivers are volunteers.
Come and enjoy a proper cuppa tea or coffee and wonderful cakes and sandwiches at Evie's Café in the centre of Eyeries!
Hopefully the sun will shine on you as you watch the world go by.
Lyric fm radio broadcast live from Eyeries Hall on the Summer Solstice, Saturday 21st June to explore the myth and influence of the famous An Cailleach Beara - the Hag of Beara.
A large audience enjoyed a panel discussion with experts in folklore and history followed by an ambient musical exploration of the subject.
Musicians David Kitt and Elaine Malone responded to field recordings taken from the site of An Cailleach at Kilcatherine. They were accompanied by visuals from Tadhg O'Sullivan.
