IF YOU experience wanderlust at this time of year then today's launch of the O’Callaghan Coach Holidays brochure will be of huge interest! The Killarney business hosted the extremely well attended event at its office on the Tralee Road.

There was great excitement, with Radio Kerry’s Francis Jones setting up his live broadcast onsite. Francis interviewed some of O’Callaghan Coach Holidays’ regular customers and the drivers who were very happy to speak about their experiences.

The family-run business has been going from strength to strength over the past five years and is continually expanding its portfolio of tours. “The coach holidays team works with people of all ages for their private and scheduled tours, with everything from day trips to longer tours within Ireland, the UK and Europe,” said Catriona O’Callaghan of O’Callaghan Coach Holidays.

“As well as the special interest tours such as farming shows and walking holidays, we also run family-friendly day trips, overnight sightseeing tours, music weekends and tours for the history buffs!”

An exciting development is an increase in the special interest holidays such as the guided walking holidays, with both Croagh Patrick and Ben Nevis included in the new brochure.

O’Callaghan Coach Holidays will also be running supporters coaches to all the Kerry GAA games next year, as well as coaches to international rugby and soccer games and Dublin concerts.
New exciting holidays next year include Historic Dublin, Ireland’s Ancient East, Kilkenny Castle, Rothe House & Nicholas Mosse Pottery, Yorkshire’s Moors & Railways, Ancient Stonehenge to Charming Canterbury, Lille and the Windmills of Holland as well as a new eight-day tour to Lourdes next June. “There are no luggage restrictions, no airports, you just sit on the coach and let O’Callaghan Coach Holidays worry about the rest!” said Catriona.

The Christmas trips to Dublin are gaining in popularity year on year and with seven travel dates this year already filling up fast, O’Callaghan Coach Holidays have added extra dates for 2017.

Grady demands Killarney traffic review

Published

Killarney councillor Martin Grady has called for an urgent review of traffic management across the town following severe delays along the Muckross Road during the morning rush hour.

Constituents living along Muckross Road, Woodlawn, and outer Muckross areas raised serious concerns with the local representative, reporting that motorists now face delays of over 30 minutes to travel from Flesk Bridge or Woodlawn Cross into Killarney town.


The situation is causing major disruption for parents doing school runs and commuters traveling to work every morning.


“This level of congestion is simply not acceptable,” said Cllr Grady. “I have been contacted by constituents who are experiencing significant delays every morning, with parents trying to get their children to school and people trying to commute into work being caught in traffic for prolonged periods.”


Cllr Grady urged Kerry County Council to look closely at the operation and light sequencing along the route.


“I am calling for a review of the traffic situation along the Muckross Road, including the operation and sequencing of the traffic lights and whether there are any other obstructions or traffic management issues contributing to the delays,” he said.


He stressed that the gridlock is not isolated to one approach road, but affects the entire urban area as population and traffic volumes continue to rise year on year.


“But this issue goes beyond the Muckross Road. Killarney as a whole is experiencing increasing levels of traffic congestion across the town. The people of Killarney have been suffering with traffic for far too long, and the situation is getting worse,” Cllr Grady said.


“Our population is growing and traffic volumes are increasing year on year. We need to look at the bigger picture and develop a proper traffic management plan for Killarney. We need to identify where the problems are, examine how traffic is being managed across the town and put measures in place to improve traffic flow. The current situation has gone beyond what is acceptable for residents, commuters and visitors to Killarney.”
