		<title>New &#8220;green&#8221; streetlights up and running</title>
		<description><![CDATA[People visiting The Square in the redeveloped town centre of Tralee have always been delighted with the great lighting installation, which (up to last week) consisted of blue airport-like &#8220;taxiway&#8221; lights embedded in the ground and standard street lights which were fixed to the walls of the adjacent buildings. While the former stays unchanged, the standard light bulbs for the [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Destination from Kerry Airport: Grenoble</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Short notice: Ryanair just announced a new route from Kerry Airport. Starting from 20/12/2008 you can fly directly from Kerry to Grenoble in south-east France. Wikipedia says the town is also known as the &#8220;Capital of the Alps&#8221;, with twenty ski stations nearby. So what about some winter sports this year?

		<title>More works in the town park, but still no train</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I expected in a posting in march this year there was no steam train to be seen on the last remaining part of the historic Tralee-Dingle light railway, in fact there was no train at all. The problems with the old boiler seem to be more severe than initially thought and apparently the fate of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tralee Bay Nature Reserve - New Bird Observatory</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I happened to visit Blennerville again, and right opposite the famous windmill there is now a newly erected bird viewing hide with great explanatory signs. Although situated right beside the well frequented N86 (the main Tralee - Dingle connection) there is a surprising variety of bird species on display, for the intertidal areas of the River Lee at [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Helipad at Kerry General</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not many people will have noticed that there were construction works going on at Kerry General Hospital in Tralee. And that is fortunate, because if they had noticed it might have been because they were seriously ill. So the new helipad at Kerry General is one of the few structures that will hopefully not have to be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tralee in bloom</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Although the annual Tralee Garden Festival will not start before the next weekend the town already is in full flower. Thanks to the great work of the town council and the many volunteers who paricipated in the latest acts of guerilla gardening there are now flowers in many places all over the town. The probably most impressive new [...]]]></description>

		<title>Phase one of the naturewalk almost complete</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
As the month of may draws to an end final works are currently being done at phase one of the long awaited River Lee Nature Walk and Cycleway in Tralee. While the paving from Ballyard (right behind the Aqua Dome) to the Fels Point Hotel has already been completed and &#8220;unofficially&#8221; opened weeks ago (read more here) there had still been a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tranquility Fountain starts to flow!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tralee Town Park will soon be the tranquil place it used to be, to be honest it will indeed even be much better than before. With the  huge success of the new extensive playground area and after months of work at new pathways and water features, the first new fountain has finally been in operation when I visited the park today.

		<title>Kerry Bicycle Festival proves to be a success</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I already wrote yesterday there is currently a great new festival underway in Tralee. Although I was quite sure that the Kerry Bicycle Festival was going to be a success at the time I wrote it I didn&#8217;t know any of the guys who organized it then, nor had I visited any of the events so far.

		<title>Kerry Bicycle Festival</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I almost forgot this important date, but fortunately I did not and so it&#8217;s not too late to promote it now: the inaugural Kerry Bicycle Festival is about to start tonight, and I hope many will follow. As a biker (the picture shows my own bicycle on a beach in Fenit) I think it&#8217;s about time to encourage more people [...]]]></description>
