The woman at the door of Tyrone House

Thu, Jul 21, 2022

On the afternoon of March 18 1912, Violet Martin and her friend Tilly Redington, arrived at the door of Tyrone House, the home of the less than ordinary St George family. The three storey house, in the luxurious Palladian style, and said to be sumptuously decorated inside, is dramatically located by the estuary of the Kilcolgan river, about 2 miles distant from Kilcolgan village.

Violet was related to the Martins of Ballynahinch. Her father boasted that like his cousin Humanity Dick he had not lost one of his tenants during the Great Famine. The cost of such generosity was bankruptcy which both families bore as bravely as they could. On this March afternoon Violet was an established author. She and her cousin Edith Somerville of Castletownshend, West Cork, had effectively cooperated in a series of books on the landlord class. They had just published what would be their most successful novel: ‘Some Reminiscences of an Irish RM’.*

Long Covid – help is at hand

Thu, Jul 14, 2022

Most people who get Covid-19 get better very quickly. Some people continue to experience symptoms, and even have other symptoms develop in the weeks and sometimes months following their infection. This is commonly referred to as long Covid. Some of the more common long Covid symptoms include a lasting cough, fatigue, aches and pains, brain fog, loss of taste, loss of sense of smell, and insomnia.

Current treatments for long Covid currently focus on managing the symptoms and improving quality of life. One recommended treatment for long Covid is hyperbaric oxygenation. Users of hyperbaric oxygenation are reporting relief for a wide range of long Covid symptoms. They are reporting better quality sleep, more energy, relief from pain, improved sense of smell and/or taste, and improved concentration after a series of sessions. Hyperbaric oxygenation is proven to help reduce inflammation, encourage new blood vessel growth, and stem cell production.
