CHARITY WALK: Sunday's walk will be the Kenya Education Project's first event since they climbed Carrauntoohil before the pandemic.

By Sean Moriarty

A charity walk through Tomies Wood on Sunday will raise money to help educate Kenyan children in a deprived area of Nairobi.

The Kenya Education Project is a Fossa based national charity. It raises funds to help pay for the education of 85 children.

“We also raise funds for a feeding programme in the village of Embulbul each week-day evening which feeds village children,” said organiser Eddie Sheehy.

Sunday’s walk takes place between 10am and 2pm. Refreshments will be served by the Tomies Tea-Bean. Proprietor Denis Courtney is a trustee of the charity.

It is the charity's first outing since 2019 as a result of the pandemic.

“Come along and enjoy the spectacular views of Killarney and surrounds as well as sampling the hospitality of Tomies Tea-Bean,” added Eddie, who can be contacted on 085 7497271.

BIIRD, the all-female supergroup redefining Irish traditional music, is set to perform a headline show at the Gleneagle Arena in Killarney on May 8, next.

The group, which formed last year, has rapidly gained attention for its energetic performances and blend of traditional sounds with a modern approach. Since appearing on the Late Late Show in February 2025, BIIRD has sold out every date on its debut Irish and UK tour, including an upgraded show at Vicar Street, all before releasing any music.
This momentum continued with a successful Mainstage performance at the All Together Now festival in front of 15,000 fans. Now signed with Primary Talent, BIIRD is planning extensive tours in Ireland, the UK, and the US for 2026.
BIIRD’s line-up features Lisa Canny on harp, banjo and vocals; Laura Doherty on fiddle and guitar; Zoran Donohoe on concertina; Sal Heneghan on fiddle and harp; Miadhachlughain O’Donnell on flute and vocals; Nicole Lonergan on fiddle; Niamh Hinchy on vocals and synth; Aoife Kelly on cello; Ciara Ní Mhurchú on fiddle; Hannah Hiemstra on drums; and Claire Loughran on fiddle and harp.

Construction on the inner relief road at Bohereen na Gabhann is now anticipated to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026, according to Kerry County Council.

The timeline was confirmed in documents issued at Wednesday’s Killarney Municipal District meeting after Councillor Niall Kelleher put forward a motion about when the Bohereen na Gabhann link road would be built.
The official Council document stated that the Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) for the project has been confirmed. Kerry County Council is now progressing through the necessary approval gates as set out in the infrastructure guidelines. The start of construction is “anticipated that this will progress to construction in Q4 2026,” subject to the final approval of the Urban Regeneration and Development Fund (URDF).
The proposed inner relief road is designed to significantly alleviate traffic congestion in the town centre. It will link New Street and High Street via Bohereen na Gabhann, enabling traffic from New Street to access the top of High Street via Monsignor O’Flaherty Road, effectively bypassing the most congested parts of the town centre.
The project, which was publicly unveiled in January 2022, is a key strategic goal for Killarney. A Council official previously stated that the proposed route “would significantly reduce peak hour traffic flows on High Street and New Road.”
