With a central location on the Muckross Road, access to high quality unique exhibitors and bustling festive atmosphere, it’s sure to be one of the must attend events on the Christmas in Killarney calendar for 2022.

A festive inspired weekend is planned and includes the best of locally produced and sustainable gifts, homeware and giftable foods.

As well as complimentary entry for all, shoppers will also enjoy free mulled wine on arrival, soak up the festive spirit amid the crackling log fires and wander at ease through the exhibitor stands.

The Christmas Gift Fair at Randles Hotel will run over the weekend of Saturday December 17 and Sunday 18 inclusive from 1pm - 6pm each day with 20 stalls ranging from Christmas decorations to jewellery, festive food and hampers to stunning prints, candles, ceramics and much more. A great event to include on your Christmas shopping list, while supporting local artisans.

“The fair will allow shoppers to browse some wonderful stalls all under one roof," Tom Randles, owner of Randles Hotel, said.

"With something for everyone, we will help get your Christmas shopping off to a great start (or finish if you are ultra-organised!). There are makers, creators, bakers and much more. All are small local independent businesses that would really love your support this Christmas. So bring the whole family for a unique shopping experience.”

Keep an eye out on Randles Hotel social media pages for updates on the weekend and supplier features over the coming weeks.

Work on new, fully accessible public toilet facilities at Killarney Library is set to begin on Monday, July 20, marking the realisation of a project first tabled over two years ago.

The upgrade was initially put forward by Councillor Marie Moloney in May 2024, when she raised a motion at a Kerry County Council meeting highlighting the unacceptable lack of disabled toilets in a public building. At the time, Cllr Moloney noted that while access ramps were in place, several library users with disabilities were disappointed by the lack of facilities. “I will be keeping the pressure on to have these facilities provided as soon as possible,” she stated at the time.
Delivered by the Council’s Facilities Section, the upcoming works are expected to be completed in the autumn. The development will provide a new entrance to the toilet area, a fully accessible toilet, and baby changing facilities.
Killarney Library will remain open throughout the construction period, with all regular services continuing as normal. To ensure safety, the front porch, the existing public toilets, and the events room will be temporarily closed. Visitors will access the library via a signposted side entrance, and alternative public toilets will be available nearby at the High Street Car Park.

Kerry Mountain Rescue Team (KMRT) has issued a warm weather warning for anyone climbing in the region after being called to assist a walker on Sunday.

The rescue team was tasked to the Devil’s Ladder area of Carrauntoohil (Corrán Tuathail) to help a climber experiencing severe exhaustion and dehydration. Volunteers successfully assisted the walker down to an awaiting vehicle.
With the current heatwave continuing, KMRT is reminding all hillwalkers to prepare adequately before setting out.
The team recommends carrying at least one extra litre of water, wearing sunscreen, and using a peaked or wide-brimmed hat. Walkers should set out early in the morning to ensure they are off the mountains before the peak heat builds in the middle of the day.
KMRT also advises walkers to consider changing their plans to less strenuous routes or rescheduling their climbs entirely until temperatures drop.
