A huge turn out for the evening's event, the Kilcummin Parents Association Family Table Quiz, is what unfolded with 42 tables being registered on the night.

Not only did the night deliver a brain teasing quiz for all in attendance, but a monster raffle with an array of fabulous prizes were on offer to be won.

There was also a very special visit from the very busy Easter Bunny who arrived to much fanfare and delivered some Easter eggs to the boys and girls in attendance, a prelude to the impending season of Easter.

"The Parents Association would like to express their gratitude to all who sponsored prizes for the raffle and in particular, all those who attended and participated on the night," Joanne O'Sullivan, Chairperson for the Kilcummin Parents Association, said.

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.
