‘Pink Night’ was held in Kilcummin on January 10 in aid of Comfort for Chemo, bringing the entire community together for a very important cause.

The event, which was postponed from the previous week, had music from Rosie and Derry Healy and DJ Declan.

Pink Night has been running for over 20 years, and this marks the fourth year that Comfort for Chemo has been chosen as the beneficiary.

Speaking on the night, organiser Geraldine Pigott said the charity continues to resonate deeply with the community.

She said: “Cancer has touched so many families in one way or another, and Comfort for Chemo offers such practical support at a very difficult time,”

The event drew a strong turnout, and the organisers expressed gratitude to the many local businesses and individuals who donated prizes.

“The generosity we receive every year is incredible,” Geraldine added. “From sponsors to ticket sellers and everyone who comes through the door on the night, it really shows the strength of community spirit here.”

The Best Dressed awards on the night went to Noreen O’Neill & Mike Moloney.

German artist Markus Ehrhard will present his latest work in Killarney starting this week at an exhibition titled ‘9 Years in Glenbeigh’

The collection is based on items and materials the artist discovered on Rossbeigh Beach during his time living in the area.

The exhibition will be held in the foyer of the Department of Culture, Communications and Sport located on New Road, directly across from the Garda Station. Ehrhard, who is originally from Trier in Germany, now resides in Glenbeigh and has spent nearly a decade documenting and collecting the findings that form the basis of this display.

The official opening took place on Thursday, (January 15), at 6pm.

The show will remain open to the public until Friday, February 20.

Admission is free and all members of the community are welcome to attend the launch or visit the display during the month-long run.

The exhibition space is managed by Maurice Condon, who coordinates a rotating schedule of cultural events in the New Road building.
