THE past couple of weeks have been busy ones for Killarney accessibility campaigner Paudie Healy.

Paudie, the CEO of Universal Access, was an invited speaker in Paris at an ENAT/Paris hosted event, addressing eleven national tourism organisations from different European countries on accessible tourism.

The week after, Paudie took centre stage in Madrid as a speaker at an event hosted by the Spanish government on the city’s launch to become the leading accessible city in Europe for business and leisure tourism under the slogan All Madrid4All. “The two events were very significant and outlined the enormous development being done by both the public and private tourism service providers sector now Internationally on developing their destinations accessible for-all in business and leisure tourism,” said Paudie.

Killarney Golf & Fishing Club Captains Tomás Kelliher and Annette McNeice have announced that the upcoming Open Captains’ Charity Weekend will take place on Saturday, May 16 and Sunday, May 17.

This year’s event will raise funds for the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation, which provides in-home nursing care and respite support for children with severe learning disabilities and complex medical needs. The event is sponsored by Truffle Honey.
The weekend will feature a Team of Four competition. Entry is €40 per person or €160 per team. Online entry is available through the club’s booking system at www.killarneygolfclub.ie. A dedicated fundraising page for donations has also been set up at www.idonate.ie.
A charity raffle will also run throughout the weekend, featuring green fees for top golf courses and various prizes donated by local supporters.
“The work Jack and Jill do for families in Kerry and across Ireland is extraordinary,” Captains Tomás Kelliher and Annette McNeice said in a joint statement. “We are proud to play our part in helping them continue that mission and look forward to welcoming members and visitors for a fantastic weekend of golf.”
Siobhan Reen of the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation thanked the club for their support.
“Every euro raised helps us provide vital home nursing care, giving children the chance to be cared for at home, where they belong,” she said.
The foundation currently supports over 490 families across Ireland, including many in County Kerry, providing up to 100 hours of home nursing care per month.
Those looking to enter a team can visit the Killarney Golf Club website (

The Scorchers Cheerleading club has made history after their senior team, Code Black, secured a bronze medal at the All Star World Championships in Orlando, Florida.

Competing against 44 elite teams from around the world, the Killarney-based squad finished on the podium in one of the most competitive cheerleading events globally. The achievement follows a strong run of form for the club, which recently earned a direct bid to bypass the opening “Battle Round” and advance straight to the semi-finals based on their previous performance scores.
The team’s success in Florida is the result of months of intensive training at their local base. Head Coach Katlyn Moynihan noted that the athletes’ dedication and focus throughout the season were key to their performance on the world stage.
“To stand on that podium is an incredible achievement,” she said. “These athletes have given everything this season, and to see it all come together in Orlando is very special.”
Club owner Jackie Jeal highlighted the significance of the result, given the disparity in resources compared to major American programmes.
“We are a small club from a corner of Ireland without the facilities of the top US teams,” she said. “They proved that teamwork and heart can stand with the best in the world. To bring home a bronze medal against those odds is a historic milestone for our club.”
The Scorchers have seen a massive wave of support from the Killarney and wider Kerry community, with local fundraising efforts helping to get the team to the United States.
