CONGRATULATIONS to Eileen O’Sullivan and Thomas Fleming who have just emerged from St Mary’s Cathedral, Killarney, as newlyweds.
Eileen, of Clovers Place, College Street, and Thomas, from Dalton’s Avenue, exchanged vows in a ceremony led by family friends Fr Simon Twomey and Fr Jim Linehan.
Eileen’s sister Bridie Plunkett was her bridesmaid while Thomas’s friend Donal McCarthy was his best man.
Eileen and Thomas met over 20 years ago on a visit to Ross Castle. “It was love at first sight,” Thomas told the Killarney Advertiser. “We got engaged in December last year.”
The popular newlyweds are celebrating their big day with family and friends at a reception in The Dromhall Hotel, Killarney.
They will enjoy a two-stage honeymoon, with the first part in Dublin and then in September, they will travel to Lourdes. “We both love visiting Lourdes. Over the years I have been there 15 times and Eileen has been there about 10 times,” said Thomas. The couple will reside in Killarney.

The competition followed workshops funded by SICAP through South Kerry Development Partnership and delivered by photographer Michelle Breen Crean. Participants learned practical skills using phone cameras and focused on the theme “Timeless Landscapes”.
Seventy photographs were entered. The winners were: Fionnuala Lynch; Anne O’Keefe; Joan O’Gorman and Mary O’Leary

Scoil Phobail Sliabh Luachra in Rathmore is celebrating a major success after students Eoin Cashman and Alex Thompson were named overall runners-up at the National SciFest finals held in Marino College, Dublin last week.

The pair also won the Regeneron International Science & Engineering Award and will now represent Ireland at the world finals in Phoenix, Arizona in 2026.
Their project, titled Dust Dynamics: Analysing Planetary Bodies through the Ballistic Motion of Lofted Dust Particles, examined how the movement of dust can reveal key information about a planet’s environment, including atmospheric density and gravity. As part of their study, they analysed footage of dust thrown up by the Lunar Roving Vehicle during the Apollo 16 mission in 1972. Using online software and physics calculations learned in school, they estimated the moon’s gravitational acceleration to 1.72 m/s², within 6.7% of the accepted value.
The national finals featured projects assessed by judges from scientific and engineering fields. More than 16,000 students entered SciFest 2025, making the duo’s achievement a significant milestone. Their teacher Kevin McCarthy mentored the project, and the school says the students’ work could be applied to footage from other planetary missions in the future.
