Naas author's latest book
And Janet was delighted to hear him say it should be required reading for Leaving Certificate students as it answered so many questions he has had about life. Gareth was introduced by Joan Keogh of Nas Na Ríogh Book Shop in Naas, which organised the launch. The book, in an easy-to-read-style, is a journey in itself and a spiritual autobiography," US-born Janet says. "Im hoping people will use it to explore their own journey and focus in on their own beliefs and struggles and how those might be healed. A reading from the book included a passage on the Holocaust Museum outside Jerusalem, visited by the Pope on his recent trip to the Holy Land. Janet had spent some time working there after ending up penniless with no ticket home. Shed also been caught up in street riots between rival factions. Healing the Spirit is Janets third book to be published. Its a sequel to Healing the Past which is now in its second print run. A novel entitled Jigsaw had received the blessing of Poolbeg ommissioning editor Kate Cruise OBrien before her unexpected death. Apart from her writing, Janet holds regular workshops in Tallaght, in the Augustinian Centre in Old Bawn. The book is available from Nas Na Ríogh Bookshop in Naas and from Porters in Newbridge. |

School safety measures to be introduced
These measures will include, as well as a "Lolly Pop Lady", road markings, road signs and traffic control measures, she said, and expressed the hope also that all schools in the area will receive proper signage and road markings to increase safety standards in the near future. Increasing traffic volume and speed are one of the main causes of accidents on our roads and proper measures have to be put in place to counteract them. |

County farmers urged to 'take action' on agriculture plan
IFA president Tom Parlon (above) noted that there is a weakness in the whole support structure for farming, with massive pressure from the Celtic Tiger, from developers, and from Dublin encroaching on all sides in the counties around the capital. He said Kildare farmers should use all their political influence to the full in working to implement the recommendations of the report. Rural women are also addressed in the study with the report noting that the significant role of farm women in Irish farming has not been sufficiently recognised. It states women and families are 'key pillars in rural and farming society'.
