TRIP: Abbie Daly Alanna Brady and Kate Donoghue made a presentation at the EU Parliament.

Fifth Year students did both Kerry and St Brigid's extremely proud with their presentation on ‘Improving Farm Outcomes Through Education’ at the EU Parliament.

Abbie Daly, Alanna Brady and Kate Donoghue's project was selected by Certified Irish Angus Beef, ABP and Kepak.

Members of European Parliament Colm Markey and Deirdre Clune were very interested in what the girls had to say.

As well as this exceptional achievement, Abbie, Alanna and Kate were given a tour of a butchery school in Bruges and meat cutting preparation was demonstrated.

They also presented to students of this school. This proved to be another memorable experience along with a tour of Bruges where waffles were sampled and Belgian chocolate was a must as a topping!

The Kerry Education and Training Board (Kerry ETB) has been awarded €2.3 million in funding to purchase the former Pretty Polly site on Upper Park Road, Killarney.

The funding, announced this morning by Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, James Lawless TD, will allow Kerry ETB to develop the site as a new Tourism Sector Training College. The proposed facility will be linked to the Munster Technological University (MTU) and will focus on training for the hospitality and tourism industries.
Kerry TD Michael Cahill described the announcement as “a major vote of confidence in Killarney and the wider Kerry tourism industry.”
“This is immense news for the town,” said Deputy Cahill. “It will mark Killarney out officially as the tourism capital of Ireland by providing a Hospitality Sector Training College right in the heart of the county.”
Deputy Cahill said he had been advocating for such a development since entering the Dáil, adding that the investment “will be a gamechanger for the hospitality sector in Killarney and Kerry.”
He also recalled the former CERT training centre that operated at the Torc Great Southern Hotel in the 1970s, noting that this new project would revive that legacy for a new generation of tourism professionals.
The Pretty Polly site, vacant for many years, will now be transformed into a key educational and economic hub for the region once the project proceeds.
