500 people from across the county heard about all the latest trends in nutrition, fitness and style tips on Thursday last at the Dawn Milk and National Dairy Council Ladies Lifestyle Evening.
Held in the INEC Killarney, the evening was a fantastic success raising €7,000 for the Donal Walsh Livelife Foundation and the Ian O’Connell Trust.
On arrival ladies were welcomed with a cookies and milk reception, and also received a goody bag on the night. The evening also included a fantastic raffle with some amazing prizes including a VIP Day at the Dawn Milk Ladies Day at the Killarney Races on Thursday, July 18, and two tickets to the Spice Girls concert in Croke Park in Dublin this summer.
The event commenced with advice on how to ‘Shape Up Your Nutrition’ with well-known dietitian and author Paula Mee, who sifted through the jargon and gave the audience practical tips and advice that works. One of Ireland’s most successful personal trainers and health blogger Nathalie Lennon gave lots of fitness and well-being advice. Nathalie also demonstrated exercises that could be completed at home with the assistance of MC Alan Finn of Radio Kerry.
Following the interval, style queen Celia Holman Lee revealed all her secrets in a Beauty and Lifestyle Q&A with MC Alan Finn. Celia also showcased a fabulous style segment with fashion from local Killarney boutiques MacBees, Scarlett Boutique and Weardrobe.
“We would like to thank everyone who attended the Ladies Lifestyle Evening and supported our two charities,” John O’Sullivan, General Manager, Dawn Milk said.
“The evening was a great success with lots of advice and tips from our guest speakers Paula Mee, Nathalie Lennon and Celia Holman Lee.”

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.”
