Residents of some of the more-rural areas surrounding Killarney town will welcome funding allocations for road improvement works.

A total of €1,766,014 is to be spent on road improvement schemes in the Killarney area over the next three years.

This includes €187,425 to be spent on the Loo Bridge to Poulgorm section of the R-569. The Agahdoe to Knockasartnet Cross section of the L-2019 will get €174,930 while the problematic Finnegan’s Cross junction is in line for €107,100.

A total of 18 regional and local roads in the area are in line for the €1.7 million funding from the Department of Transport but Kerry County Council could also match the funding is certain cases.

Cllr Niall Kelleher is one of several councillors who have been pushing for a road repair programme in East Kerry at Killarney Municipal District level.

The annual Killarney Regatta Dance took place on September 25 as rowers, families and supporters came together to celebrate their successful year.

The racing was cancelled in September due to bad weather.

The Killarney Regatta is one of Ireland’s oldest rowing events, having first begun in 1788.

The dance took place at the Killarney Oaks Hotel where there was a lot of excitement and fun. Six rowing clubs, Fossa, Workman’s, St Brendan’s, Commercials, Flesk Valley, and Muckross, came together to celebrate the community and its shared history.

Amelia Counihan was crowned as the Regatta Queen.

The Queen represents the spirit pride and grace of the rowing community and has been a tradition in the club for generations.

Workman’s Rowing Club congratulated Amelia and described her as a woman who embodies everything that their tradition stands for.

The club said: “Queen is more than a title — it is a celebration of history, community, and the spirit of Killarney rowing.”
