Leaving Cert students at Killarney Community College raised funds and awareness for mental health charity Pieta as one of their last projects of 2021.

The sixth year Social Education class organised a non-uniform day just before they broke up for the Christmas holiday.

They raised a whopping €700 while educating the rest of the school on the role of Pieta House and the importance of looking after one's own mental health.

Teacher John Keane said: "Our students now live in a world full of stress and anxiety. This puts a strain on their mental health. We are beginning to recognise that our mental health is just as important as our physical health. Pieta House provides a safe and secure service for teens who are struggling with their mental health. Hence, we are delighted to raise funds and the profile of this wonderful service."

As 2026 begins, the Killarney Advertiser would like to wish all our readers a very happy new year and to remind the community that this newspaper belongs to you.

Founded in 1973 by the late Danny Casey and now published by his son Cormac, the Killarney Advertiser has always been a community newspaper in the truest sense. For more than five decades it has told the story of Killarney through the voices, events and achievements of the people who live and work here.
The paper is keen to hear from community organisations, schools, sports clubs, charities and voluntary groups, as well as from individuals with news to share. Fundraisers, events, launches, awards, milestone birthdays and wedding anniversaries all have a place in these pages.
Each week starts with a blank page, shaped by what matters locally. The message is simple: if it matters to the community, it matters to the Killarney Advertiser.
News and photos can be sent to sean@killarneyadvertiser.ie or news@killarneyadvertiser.ie. You tell us, and we will tell the wider community.

Tributes have been paid across Killarney following the death of Toni Fleming of Ardshanavooley and formerly of Dalton’s Avenue, who passed away peacefully on Christmas Day in the care of the Palliative Care Unit at University Hospital Kerry.

A lifelong and hugely respected member of Killarney Athletic A.F.C., Toni was regarded as one of the driving forces behind the club for more than five decades.
He joined Killarney Athletic in 1971, played for many years and was affectionately known as ‘Tappy No. ‘ for his goal scoring ability.
He later served as chairman on two occasions and remained deeply involved with the club right up to recent times, often arriving early each morning to carry out whatever tasks needed to be done.
Killarney Athletic A.F.C. said Toni was “a true gent and a wonderful clubman” who would be greatly missed. The club formed a guard of honour outside St Mary’s Cathedral following his Requiem Mass on Saturday morning, with members wearing club colours as a mark of respect.
Toni was also widely known in the town for his community involvement. At Jimmy Brien’s Bar he was remembered as a regular and a great character who played a major role in organising charity initiatives, including the cancer bus bottle drive which raised thousands of euro over the years.
Kerry Football Club also expressed its sympathy, noting that Toni was the father of long-time volunteer Lorraine and brother in law of matchday operations manager Gerardine Nagle.
Toni is survived by his wife Phil, son Stephen, daughters Lorraine and Amanda, his grandson Ethan, great grandchildren Maddison and Theo, brothers, sister and extended family.
He was laid to rest following his Requiem Mass at St Mary’s Cathedral.
