Audiences worldwide will get a unique glimpse of an award winning Irish dance and music show tomorrow (Saturday) as their performance is live streamed online.

Guests will also attend the Gaelic Roots Show, created and produced by well-known local Niall O'Donoghue, in-person live at the Dúchas Comhaltas Centre at MTU Tralee.

Niall has been involved in both the entertainment and hotel industry since the 1980s and has won many awards and accolades since its debut.

It's the number one pre-sold show in Killarney with many worldwide tour operators booking seats two years in advance for their clients to guarantee that they do not miss out on the opportunity to experience the show when they visit the county.

It will feature the amazingly talented Gaelic Roots traditional band under the direction of musical director Conor Moriarty. Also performing will be the wonderful Elle Marie Dwyer and the show's cast of Irish dancers which include two-time world champion Sean Slemon.

"The event has been sold out for weeks and the demand was so great that we could have filled the venue 10 times over!" Niall said.

The talented group were approached by Kerry Comhaltas early in the summer and asked if they would be available to work alongside them to produce and perform a very special performance.

The two hour show has received five star reviews and testimonials and nightly standing ovations throughout the 2022 season.

"The demand for tickets grows every year, with most performances being sold out and the feedback we receive from tour companies is that Gaelic Roots was their client's overall most enjoyable, memorable and favourite experience during their vacation in Ireland."

Gaelic Roots in Concert at the Duchas Comhaltas Centre is funded by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media’s live performance programming scheme with support from Kerry County Council.

Ukrainian Olympian joins parkrun for annual Chestnut Run


It is not every day an Olympian joins the Killarney parkrun, but participants had exactly that experience last Saturday, when two-time Ukrainian Olympic skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych joined the event at Killarney House and Gardens.


Heraskevych completed the 5km route alongside members of both the local and Ukrainian communities as part of the annual Ukrainian Chestnut Run. The charity tradition originated in Kyiv 33 years ago and has been organised locally by the Killarney Ukrainian community for the past four years.
The athlete previously captured global attention at the 2026 Winter Games in Milan-Cortina with his “Helmet of Memory” tribute to fallen athletes.
His appearance in Killarney was part of a week-long tour of athletic and educational centres across south-west Ireland. He spent Friday night in Tralee ahead of the Saturday morning run. During his stay in the region, Heraskevych visited the MTU Tralee campus to meet with students, researchers, and local representatives to discuss sports diplomacy, sustainability, and inclusive sports.
