IN WHAT is welcome news for shoppers who are planning their sprees in the run-up to the festive season, Kerry County Council has announced that car parking will be free for the month of December in the High Street and Lewis Road car parks in Killarney.

Parking will be free up to 11am for the month of December in the following car parks: New Street Car Park (lower section only), Glebe Car Park; and Fair Hill Car Park

The Cathaoirleach of the Killarney Municipal District, Cllr Brendan Cronin, said the provision of free parking annually is a gesture to local retailers and people visiting town to do their Christmas shopping.

“This is an important gesture by the local authority to encourage people into the town during the Christmas period and I would urge people to shop local this Christmas,” he said.

“Killarney is always a special place to be at Christmas time and the provision of free parking at particular times during this period gives people a chance to enjoy the atmosphere and to shop locally,” he added.

Students from three local secondary schools, St Brendan’s College, St Bridget’s Secondary School, and Killarney Community College, are joining forces with the Killarney Tidy Town Committee, Kerry County Council, and the Meitheal group to focus on environmental projects.

The students recently gave impressive presentations detailing their efforts to actively promote biodiversity, tackle litter waste, and protect the environment.
Attending the presentations were members of the Tidy Towns Committee and Mayor of Killarney Councillor Martin Grady.
The students have conducted surveys to highlight the worst areas prone to litter and have carried out subsequent litter picking in those areas while also creating public awareness.
Additionally, bird feeders have been made in woodwork classes and mounted within the school grounds.
One of the key strategies adopted by the schools to maintain and increase diversity has been the development and nurturing of garden areas within their grounds.
These green spaces serve a vital role in supporting the local ecosystem, promoting student well-being, and empowering learners of all abilities.
