Killarney Toastmasters are to relaunch face-to-face meetings after nearly three years of a pandemic related break.

The international organisation which strives to help people of all ages gain confidence in a positive and non-judgemental environment will host its first in-person meeting at the Dromhall Hotel on Tuesday evening next.

Meetings will continue on the second and fourth Tuesday every month.

New members are welcome and Killarney Toastmasters will open a new education programme that helps people gain confidence, learn key skills and will give an outlet to be yourself in a safe environment at the first meeting.

“The core values of Toastmasters are respect, integrity, service and excellence. You can develop your leadership and diplomacy skills while also overcoming the nerves of speaking in front of other people," said Killarney Toastmasters president Patrick Roarty. “Our meetings are so enjoyable and so much fun.”

A proposal to investigate the development of a state-of-the-art immersive simulator experience showcasing Kerry’s iconic scenic locations is set to be discussed by Kerry County Council.

The motion requests that Kerry County Council “liaise with Fáilte Ireland, the Department of Tourism, and all relevant stakeholders to investigate the feasibility of developing a state-of-the-art immersive simulator experience.”
The aim of the simulator would be to enable visitors to feel as though they are flying through and experiencing Kerry’s most iconic scenic locations and visitor attractions, similar to ultra-modern versions available in other parts of the world.
