Toyota has closed out 2021 as the most popular car brand both in Ireland and in Kerry.

With 12.44% share of the passenger car market and four of its models (RAV4, Corolla, C-HR and Yaris) in the top ten best-sellers list, this success underpins the continued popularity of Toyota self-charging hybrids.

Tim Kelliher, of Kellihers Toyota Tralee – the sole Toyota dealer for the Kingdom has welcomed the news.

“The stand out fact for me is that the vast majority of all the Toyota cars we sold in Kerry last year were self-charging hybrids. Our customers trusted us and trusted Toyota years ago in the switch away from diesel and that trust is now paying off, with lower running and maintenance costs along with higher resale values, the three core principles of Toyota ownership. We here at Kelliher’s look forward to supplying the county with superior Toyota products in the years ahead,” he said.

Toyota sold an impressive 13,053 passenger cars in 2021, which represents more than a 30% year-on-year increase.
Toyota look forward to another successful year in 2022 and the team at Kellihers are excited for the arrival of the bZ4X, the first zero emission full battery electric car in June. For more information on the full Toyota range, contact Sales in Kellihers on 066-710000 or check out www.kellihers.ie

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.”
