It was a case of step aside, Storm Desmond, as Storm Daniel swept into town bright and early on Saturday.
Hundreds of Daniel O’Donnell devotees braved treacherous weather conditions to queue from 6am to meet their idol and secure tickets to his five-date concerts in Killarney next year.

Tickets were snapped up rapidly and his August dates in the INEC Killarney have sold out.

All ages could be seen in the long line at the venue and no one went home disappointed as the Donegal superstar was delighted to meet and greet his fans, sharing a warm chat with all and the occasional kiss on the cheek delivered to a few delighted ladies.

The star, who last year was inducted into the prestigious Order of Innisfallen for his services to tourism in Killarney, will return to INEC next August where some 20,000 music lovers will descend on the venue to enjoy his performances on August 9, 10, 12, 13 and 14.

Over the last three months Daniel has participated in BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing and UTV Ireland series Daniel & Majella’s BnB Road Trip, which has sent his popularity soaring even higher.

Last month Daniel released his latest studio album ‘The Hank Williams Songbook’ which is still riding high in the charts in Ireland and the UK.

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.

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.
