It’s Killarney’s only dedicated sports recovery suite and it’s set to launch today (Saturday).

Business owner and Killarney Advertiser Business Development Manager, Chris Davies, has partnered with local businessman Cormac Casey, the Killarney Advertiser and KC Print on this new venture. Chris is delighted to finally get the doors to Reboot Recovery Suite open, and although it was a slow process, he is happy with the end result.

“Work started on the business in April with an opening date of June in mind,” Chris said.

“Here we are seven months later and we are just about ready to open the doors. As anyone who has set up a new business would know, there is always a few unexpected road blocks along the way, but the end product was worth it. It was important to do it right and I wanted to create a space that is both comfortable and welcoming, and I think we have that now.”

Reboot Recovery Suite is fitted out to a high standard and boasts market leading recovery equipment.

“We tried not to cut corners and it was important to source the best recovery equipment. Our cold water immersion CryoSpa is employed by the likes of AC Milan, Bayern Munich, Brooklyn Nets, Manchester United, even US tennis champion Emma Raducanu was pictured using the spa earlier in the year. Other equipment such as our Normatec Compression Boots have been endorsed by NBA stars LeBron James and Kevin Durant.”

RECHARGE

The goal was to create a space for sports and fitness enthusiasts to meet and recharge after high intensity training and competitions.

“For a town of our size, Killarney has a huge sporting community. Between soccer and GAA alone I’d say there are about 10 clubs within a 20km radius of our recovery suite. Add athletics, rugby, cycling, combat sport etc into the mix and you have a lot of people who are interested in maintaining and getting the best out of their body. We also have some of the best gyms in Ireland right on our doorstep and there is no doubt all their members take training and recovery seriously. Reboot Recovery Suite is a place where all these people can come to reduce the risk of injury and help them perform to their maximum potential. Even for people who don’t play sport, our recovery suite is beneficial for those who suffer with muscle and joint soreness, fatigue or those just looking to unwind after a long walk or hike in the park.”

Chris believes that sport, even at amateur level, is taken much more seriously now than it was 10 or 15 years ago, and a service like this is needed in Killarney.

“I remember when I was in school, lads would be snacking on a chocolate square bar and sipping away on a bottle of Coke at 11am in the morning. Now 16 and 17-year-olds are carrying around 2 litre bottles of water and hitting the gym at lunch. Young people are better educated on how to train and recover now so I think there is definitely an appetite for a dedicated recovery suite like ours.”

Reboot are currently running a competition over on their Instagram account @rebootrecoverysuite where they are giving away one full year’s membership to the lucky winner. Head over for more details on how to enter.

Work on new, fully accessible public toilet facilities at Killarney Library is set to begin on Monday, July 20, marking the realisation of a project first tabled over two years ago.

The upgrade was initially put forward by Councillor Marie Moloney in May 2024, when she raised a motion at a Kerry County Council meeting highlighting the unacceptable lack of disabled toilets in a public building. At the time, Cllr Moloney noted that while access ramps were in place, several library users with disabilities were disappointed by the lack of facilities. “I will be keeping the pressure on to have these facilities provided as soon as possible,” she stated at the time.
Delivered by the Council’s Facilities Section, the upcoming works are expected to be completed in the autumn. The development will provide a new entrance to the toilet area, a fully accessible toilet, and baby changing facilities.
Killarney Library will remain open throughout the construction period, with all regular services continuing as normal. To ensure safety, the front porch, the existing public toilets, and the events room will be temporarily closed. Visitors will access the library via a signposted side entrance, and alternative public toilets will be available nearby at the High Street Car Park.

Kerry Mountain Rescue Team (KMRT) has issued a warm weather warning for anyone climbing in the region after being called to assist a walker on Sunday.

The rescue team was tasked to the Devil’s Ladder area of Carrauntoohil (Corrán Tuathail) to help a climber experiencing severe exhaustion and dehydration. Volunteers successfully assisted the walker down to an awaiting vehicle.
With the current heatwave continuing, KMRT is reminding all hillwalkers to prepare adequately before setting out.
The team recommends carrying at least one extra litre of water, wearing sunscreen, and using a peaked or wide-brimmed hat. Walkers should set out early in the morning to ensure they are off the mountains before the peak heat builds in the middle of the day.
KMRT also advises walkers to consider changing their plans to less strenuous routes or rescheduling their climbs entirely until temperatures drop.
