The 125th anniversary of the Moving Bog Disaster in east Kerry will be marked with the unveiling of a commemorative plaque in the Old Chapel Cemetery, Rathmore, during Christmas.

Five of the victims, Con (44) and Johanna Donnelly (38) and three of their children are buried in the cemetery.

The bodies of three other Donnelly children were never found.

The Donnelly home, near Gneeveguilla, was engulfed in a landslide after a huge section of bog moved down a slope on December 28, 1896.

The plaque, erected by the local history society Cumann Luachra, will be unveiled at the cemetery on Tuesday December 28. A talk on the tragedy will also be given.

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.”
