There will be a free Family Fun Day at the Two Mile Community National School tomorrow (Saturday) and it promises to be a great day out!

From 1 to 4pm, the Parents Association have organised music, plenty of games and there'll be refreshments for the parents and visitors.

“We are very lucky that we have a fantastic Parents Association in Two Mile School," Principal Catherine Barry told the Killarney Advertiser.

"They have organised this fun day, which will be a great end of year celebration for the school and for the local community.”

Parents Association member and organiser Laura Fee says that everybody is very excited to have a fun day out.

“It's a great opportunity to come and see the recently refurbished school and experience the friendly and welcoming environment of the Two Mile. It’s a chance to meet with children attending, their parents and the local community.”

There will be loads of giant games to play – Hook a Duck, Limbo, Giant Connect Four and that’s just a few. Live music from ‘The Killarneys’ will entertain the crowd. There are some races organised for the little ones and for the not so little ones!

"Refreshments will be provided on the day. All are very welcome, we're looking forward to seeing you there!"

Glenflesk GAA hosts cardiac screening clinic


Glenflesk GAA Healthy Club recently welcomed the Dillon Quirke Foundation to run a cardiac screening clinic for its young members.


A total of 45 club players aged 12 to 18 underwent vital heart checks designed to promote early detection and heart health awareness among young athletes.
Medical personnel from Advanced Medical Services conducted the screenings with professionalism and care, while the club’s Healthy Club Team oversaw the smooth operation of the event.
The Dillon Quirke Foundation operates without government funding, relying entirely on public support to raise awareness of Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS) and provide non-cost cardiac clinics to sports clubs across Ireland.
Glenflesk GAA encourages anyone wishing to support the foundation’s ongoing screening work to consider making a donation online at dillonquirkefoundation.com.

Traditions past and present meet at Muckross School House

Two distinct eras of Irish storytelling collided at Muckross School House last week, showcasing how traditional culture adapts across generations for National Heritage Week 2026.

Representing the classic lineage of Irish folklore, renowned local historian, musician, and seanchaí Dáithí Collopy delivered an authentic masterclass in old-school storytelling.

Performing alongside his children Sadhbh, Siún, and Daithí Óg, Collopy relied on the ancient oral tradition to captivate the audience through spoken word, presence, and music.


Contrastingly, social media creator Eoin Reardon brought traditional heritage into the modern digital age.

Known for sharing his traditional green woodworking craft with millions online, Reardon hosted a hands-on workshop demonstrating traditional utensil crafting techniques while engaging attendees through the lens of modern storytelling.


The events brought together two completely different methods of preserving Irish heritage—one rooted in the timeless art of the fireside seanchaí, the other leveraging modern platforms like TikTok to keep historic skills relevant for a global, digital audience.
