Sorry folks, I know this isn't a GAA thread but I can't find a Kerry one so here's my question.
I know there's a GAA team in Tralee called 'The Naries' and I know it's not Stacks.
My question is where does the name come from as I can't find a 'narie' in any dictionary?
Have asked a few Kerry friends but came p blank.
Last resort here....................thanks in advance

Its the name of Kerins O Rahillys.
They used pick the old rotten oranges from the dump and eat them. The oranges came from Spain - named naranja - hence the name naries/narie pickers.

You are most kind COUNTERLOCK.
Many thanks for that.

That refutes the account I heard since my post that narie was another local name for a perrywinkle and the people of that area lived on these during the famine.

hint hint Rose of Tralee!!!!

Agree !:)

Fair play to Killarney they never give up, instead they become more and more creative and inventive. They are excellent at the hospitality business and everyone pulls together.

The Rose of Tralee/ Kerry Festival needs to up the game in Tralee before the Rose moves to Killarney. I appreciate the Rose of Tralee has been going for 50+years, it does not mean it will stay in Tralee. IMHO !!!!

it needs to up the game big time. Last year was very disappointing, in my opinion. The year before felt like it was getting back to being decent again, and I thought last year would be even better!

I wonder how Killarney are funding it, besides the ticket sales. Are businesses helping out? Most businesses in Tralee do contribute towards the festival, but how are Killarney able to get so many good acts, and its the opposite for Tralee?

No need to apologise at all, 'The Naries' are a ethnic minority in Tralee who are often persecuted for their way of life, it all goes way beyond the GAA.

I am sure the local bussnesses will jump in with this (Westport's loss eh) but with weekend tickets at ~€150 they wound be should be on a good footing.

On the other hand the RoT had a job to get people to part with €10 for an evening of music !

The RoT gets the acts it's wants...


My predictions for this years line up:


Some country and Irish act
Some act that was on a TV talent show a few years back,
Some been-about-for-a-bit Irish act who are having a comeback
Richie Kavanagh
Sharron Shannon
The garda band

I've never heard of anything like that in Tralee, that's not to say that there isn't. Maybe someone might be able to help?.

Best bet might be to ring Siamsa tire centre they might know someone who does sean nos.
Local comhaltas group might be a help too.

Opening soon? I miss Nelligan's filled rolls with a passion. They were as good as any meal for €3.50.

Yeah, it's a Polish guy from Galway, hes keeping the old staff as far as I'm aware......

Nelliganwizikys perhaps?

boroman

Talking of Polish people, who remembers a Polish goalkeeper of the early 1970s, name, Jan Tomaszewski, best remembered for playing a blinder at Wembley and almost single handedly denied an English team a must win result to qualify for the world cup. They might get Jan to do the opening, himself and Charlie would be a great draw.

He was called The Cat after that game I think

boroman

A cat, that was after the game, Oct. 1973, however the English manager, Brian Clough, yea, the one and only, incensed the opposition by calling the goalkeeper, a clown. The following year 1974, he was rated best goalie at the World Cup.

DubCul

Sorry, typed before saw previous post.Sad to say am old enough to remember that, think Brian Clough described him as a clown before the game.:D

boroman

I am giving my age away, I was at the game.

DubCul

Alf Ramsey was manager, Clough wasn't considered PC enough to ever be England manager
