DIARMUID O’FLYNN on how a north Kerry village is uniting behind Call Her Now in next week’s Oaks in Clonmel

GOD’S own country, that’s north Kerry, from Tralee to Tarbert, from Ballybunion to Listowel and to Castleisland beyond.

God’s own people too, close-knit, community-driven, and yet for all that, they’re also outgoing, friendly, hospitable. Right in the heart of it, and personifying all of the foregoing, sits little Lixnaw.
