Kerry Schoolboys and Girls Soccer League marked the 4th of July by honouring Chicago born Mary Lyne’s contribution to girls' soccer in the Killarney area.

Mary has been living in Killarney since the 1980s. She and her husband Mikey Lyne have been the backbone of Killarney Celtic for many years.

She always made sure that the girls’ teams got the same opportunities as the boys’ squads.

“As well as her long service with Killarney Celtic, Mary has served her time on both the Kerry District League and the Kerry Schoolboys and Girls committees where she held a number of officer positions,” KSBGL PRO Pat Harnett said.

“The girls' committee of the KSBGL presented Mary with a token of appreciation for her important role in the development girls' soccer and her continued work with Killarney Celtic on many levels. We were delighted to help Mary celebrate on her country’s main holiday, the 4th of July.”

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.
