EXCITEMENT is building in anticipation of the first-ever Give it a Go event in Killarney. Hidden Hearing has announced it would sponsor the event, which takes place in June. Organised by Active Retirement Ireland and The Gleneagle Hotel, Give it a Go takes place from June 13 to 17. It celebrates ageing and the freedom and opportunities retirement can offer.
Participants will have the chance to try out a huge range of activities including motorcycling, surfing, fishing, yoga and golf. And after a lengthy day of action and adventure, there will be live entertainment every evening, including performances by Brendan Shine, Red Hurley, The Ronan Collins Showband Show and HIYA Entertainment. Give it a Go is about experiencing new things, finding new hobbies and interests, meeting up with friends old and new, laughing, dancing and have fun!
“We’re delighted to sponsor the first ever Give It A Go event in Killarney this summer,” said Dolores Madden, marketing director, Hidden Hearing.
“We encourage everyone to get out and ‘Give It A Go’, no matter what. Hearing loss can affect every aspect of a person’s life, what things aren't you doing, enjoying or experiencing because a person can't hear to their full potential. Give It A Go celebrates life, as does Hidden Hearing, and that’s why we are proud to sponsor such a celebration.”
Hidden Hearing has over 25 years of experience helping people with hearing loss in Ireland. With over 75 stores nationwide including Scott Street Killarney, Tralee and Kenmare, it screens over 40,000 people annually. Hidden Hearing offer free, no obligation hearing tests at all of their clinics.

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 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.
