Published

on

Lower Lewis Road will be closed to traffic from tomorrow (Wednesday), as well as Thursday and Friday as part of a €145,000 upgrade. The road closure will include the junction between St Anne’s Road and College Street from 8am to 7pm daily.

Following the resumption of many roadworks projects as part of the reopening of the economy and society, the works are being completed as part of the Killarney Municipal District Schedule of Works for 2020.

Diversions will be in place daily on those days and will be clearly signposted.

The works will involve planing out the existing surface of the road, excavation, and repair and resurfacing of the road. The public footpath will remain open to pedestrians during the period of works which are being completed ahead of the busier summer season.

Kerry County Council appreciates the co-operation of local residents and all road users while these important works are carried out.

Two young local girls showed great business initiative on Saturday ahead of the Kerry v Donegal match at Fitzgerald Stadium.

Erin McSweeney and Jessie Doolin set up a sweet stall outside a house on Lewis Road, catching the thousands of football fans walking towards the grounds.

The enterprising pair did a busy trade selling soft drinks, sweets, and chocolates to the passing crowds before throw-in.

Their match-day venture also caught the attention of the national sports media, with a photograph of the girls at their stall captured by Sportsfile photographer Stephen McCarthy ahead of the game.

Published

on

Noel O’Neill has claimed first place in the Unrestricted category of the latest Killarney Camera Club competition, which focused on the theme of the ‘Kerry Landscape’.

His winning photograph, titled ‘Conor Pass Lake and the Three Sisters’, features a detailed study of Mullaghveal located beneath the Conor Pass.

The image captures the wide sweep of the valley, utilizing an elevated viewpoint that allows the glacial landscape to unfold toward the Atlantic horizon. The composition highlights the quiet lakes in the foreground against the dark, rocky slopes of the valley, with the distant outline of the Three Sisters adding further depth and scale to the scene.

The judges praised the photograph as an outstanding example of landscape work, noting its effective balance of composition, light, and perspective to capture the vastness of the West Kerry terrain.
