Riverdance to return to Killarney

Riverdance, the iconic celebration of Irish dance, music, and culture, is returning to Killarney, from September 18-22 at the INEC.

The show dates back to April 30, 1994, when a worldwide audience of over 300 million saw the birth of Riverdance as the interval act of the Eurovision Song Contest. The seven-minute performance earned a standing ovation from the 4,000-strong audience. This ahead-of-its-time dance piece was then developed into a full stage show by producer Moya Doherty, composer Bill Whelan, and Director John McColgan.

For over two decades, nothing has carried the energy, the sensuality and the spectacle of Riverdance which is an international Irish Dancing phenomenon. Having played over 11,500 performances to over 25 million people throughout 47 countries, the stage spectacular stays true to its roots with a return to Killarney for a limited run.

This rejuvenated show at Killarney's INEC will feature the unbelievable talent of the Riverdance lead dancers, the Riverdance Irish Dance Troupe, the live Riverdance band and international artists from Russia, Spain and the USA.

Kerry Friends of Motor Neurone (KFMN) was one of seven local charities to receive funding from Ballybunion Golf Club Lady Captain Mags O’Sullivan’s Charity Golf Classic.

At a presentation on October 5, Mags O’Sullivan presented a cheque for €5,000 to KFMN at Ballybunion Golf Club.
The donation was made in memory of her late friend Angela Fahy, a former Lady Captain and President of the club, who passed away from Motor Neurone Disease.
Pat Kelleher and Christy Lehane accepted the cheque on behalf of KFMN and thanked Mags, Lady President Aideen O’Leary, and the organising committee for their generosity and hospitality.
He said the donation will provide vital support for the charity’s ongoing work assisting those living with Motor Neurone Disease in Kerry.
“Fundraising is becoming increasingly difficult, so this contribution makes a real difference,” he said.

There were celebrations at Raheen National School this week as SNA Gráinne Lenihan presented a cheque for €5,302.23 to Principal Joan Mullane, the proceeds from her recent skydiving fundraiser in aid of the school.

Gráinne organised the ‘Her Health, Her Power’ initiative last July, which culminated in her completing a skydive in August to raise funds for Raheen NS. The money will go towards the development of the school pitch and a new perimeter race track for the entire Raheen community.
Pictured at the presentation were members of the parents’ committee Joan Bowler, Máire O’Leary, and Ann Marie Donovan, along with school staff Norrissa O’Donoghue, Conor Coffey, Linda Farrell, and Mark Egan, joined by the delighted students of Raheen NS.
