A "lost" 4,000-year-old tomb has been rediscovered on the Dingle Peninsula in Co Kerry.

The megalithic tomb known locally as Altóir na Gréine (the sun altar) was believed to have been completely destroyed in the 1840s, with its stones broken and carried away for use as building material.

While the existence of a tomb "near" Baile an Fheirtéaraigh is documented in 19th century antiquarian literature, a record of the monument's location did not exist.

An 1838 sketch of the tomb, its reputed association with the sun and its strange disappearance has been a source of intrigue for archaeologists for decades.

The folklorist has not only found the prehistoric site, but he has also discovered some of the large stones, which had been believed to have been removed, still in situ.

A number of orthostats (large upright stones) have survived, as well as a large capstone, while more may lie under the dense undergrowth.

In May 2021, I broke my ankle; in September 2023, I climbed my first…and last!…mountain. Never underestimate what a little discipline and a lot of determination can achieve. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done (and that includes four childbirths!) as I was woefully underprepared but I am so chuffed w/ myself.

I went w/ a group but I couldn’t keep up w/ them and the climbing guides told me to turn back. In an incredible moment of serendipity, a friend who had just turned up for the day to climb it again, came across me sitting on a rock feeling sorry for myself and said, “C’mon, I’ll get you up there”, and because he let me go at my own pace and stop whenever I needed to, it was exactly what I needed.

It may have taken me 10 hours to go up and down but I did it! My friend who is an experienced mountain climber quipped that he had set a personal best for his slowest climb ever. 😂

Kim bodyslams Kerry every Christmas. It’s their first Christmas with V and Kim sneaks into their bedroom, literally walked right past the bedroom her mom is in, and decked her 90 something dad in the gut. And to make it worse, he woke up to V hiding his laughter in a pillow.

“My child just body slammed me and your laughing? Eff you.” (Can’t swear in front of children)

[whats-in-a-sentence]

The team working on the wording of the bank's statement gathered in Stuart Fowler's office and included representatives from Allen Allen & Hemsley as well as Westpac's Dunne and his assistant Barbara Filipowski. The group formulated a series of advertisements headed 'Westpac Confidential Letters – the facts':

Westpac is dismayed that certain parties have ignored the rulings of the courts with regard to the Westpac Confidential Letters.

Westpac is concerned that certain individuals approach the administration of justice as a game in which they use their best endeavours to evade the rulings of the courts.

The reading of the documents in the South Australian Legislative Council we believe is a clear breach of a fundamental parliamentary convention and has jeopardised several principles which are cornerstones of our society.

Westpac is also disappointed that Senator McLean appears to have ignored the spirit of the ruling by the President of the Senate by distributing the documents outside the Senate chamber . . .

Westpac is unable to reveal or comment in any detail on the confidential letters since they remain the central issue in a number of legal cases, both recent and long-standing, before the courts . . .

But Westpac wishes to have the public record set straight about the circumstances in which the letters were written.

The letters in question are letters of advice sought by the bank from its external solicitors in November and December 1987. They relate to the management by Partnership Pacific Ltd (PPL) of foreign currency exposures for a small number of clients . . .

There is no doubt that the letters contain opinions critical of the way in which certain activities of PPL were conducted . . . PPL has now been merged into the back.

The legal position which the bank has taken in relation to these two letters has been endorsed by the courts. It is very important to note that Westpac in each of its actions against:

—John Fairfax Group Limited (receivers & managers appointed), David Syme & Co Ltd (receivers & managers appointed) and Anne Lampe

—the Australian Broadcasting Corporation

—Federal Capital Press of Australia Ltd, publishers of the Canberra Times

—Naji Halabi and Others

has been granted injunctions restraining the disclosure of the contents of the two letters.

In the proceedings Westpac has brought against Naji Halabi and five other members of his family, the judge ordered all defendants to detail the circumstances under which copies of the letters came into their hands. Mr Naji Halabi swore an affidavit in which he claimed that he could not comply with that part of the Court's order because to do so may tend to incriminate him. In the course of argument in Court Mr Halabi's counsel handed up to the judge a document listing a number of criminal offences for which his client could potentially be liable, as the bases for declining to provide the information required by the judge's order . . .

One of the constrains placed upon the bank and its advisors is that it has not been free to comment extensively on all relevant matters surrounding events of the past month because of the pending criminal and civil trials set down for April and June . . . The bank is unwilling to take any step (by public comment or otherwise) which might be prejudicial to a fair trial . . .

The bank has on five separate occasions issued press releases to explain why it was taking the court action it has pursued. The bank's press releases have been ignored entirely or in large measure by the media, although some journalists and others appear to have no hesitation in making use of documents obviously obtained unlawfully . . . a quantity of bank documents have been stolen. They have been copied and distributed in such a way as to cause the bank maximum embarrassment . . . regardless of the quite responsible criticism levelled at the bank in the media Westpac has not succumbed to nor will it ever succumb to threats to pervert the course of justice. That is the larger issue confronting the bank.
