Kelliher’s Garage – the county’s only Toyota dealership – is holding an open day at the Gleneagle Hotel on Sunday.

The full range of hybrid Toyota cars will be on show and the Tralee-based garage is inviting members of the public to attend the roadshow and take a test drive in one of the many cars on display.

The show is part of an extended Toyota hybrid demonstration weekend at Kelliher’s Garage this weekend.

The three-day festival of motoring gets underway tomorrow (Friday) at their Tralee headquarters when a new five-year sponsorship deal with Kerry GAA will be announced. Kerry football and hurling stars will be at the event from 12 noon.

On Saturday, Kelliher’s Garage will host the first of its hybrid days in the county where anyone who signs up for a test drive on the day will be entered in a draw for a chance of winning €2,000 off their new Toyota purchase.

The entire road show moves to The Gleneagle Hotel on Sunday morning. The Killarney event runs between 11am and 4pm.

“We are proud and delighted to be able to bring and demonstrate the new generation Toyota hybrid product to the whole county, north, south, east or west,” Dealer Principal, Tim Kelliher, said.

“Our five-year agreement with Kerry GAA Football and Hurling gives Kelliher's an opportunity to give a little back to our county with both codes developing a ‘hybrid game plan’ which will surely guarantee success. We invite the public to call in, chat to us, be inquisitive about hybrid and take a test drive in a relaxed and local environment.”

Visitors to the Killarney event who take test drives will also be entered in the draw for €2000 off their new Toyota purchase.

Kerry TD Michael Cahill says he is pushing to ensure the Killarney Innovation Centre secures the funding it needs for its planned expansion.

Deputy Cahill raised the issue in a recent Parliamentary Question to Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Peter Burke. The centre has applied to the Smart Regions Enterprise Innovation Scheme under Enterprise Ireland to support future projects.
Minister Burke told Deputy Cahill that the centre’s application will receive “appropriate consideration” and confirmed that Enterprise Ireland will assist the organisation in shaping proposals that match the aims of the scheme.
Deputy Cahill said the support would give the Killarney Innovation Centre “a first run to the ball” in identifying suitable projects that can attract national funding. He added that the centre has received strong Government backing for more than 30 years.
The Minister also noted that three other Kerry projects are progressing under the same national scheme, including a €1 million allocation for the AI Navigator Programme at the RDI Hub in Killorglin, which is designed to help small businesses adapt to artificial intelligence.
