Killarney's lunchtime scene has undergone a significant transformation thanks to Carmella’s Burritos, a game-changing eatery that offers fast, delectable, and easily manageable burritos.

Founded by local entrepreneurs Sean McCarthy, Kevin Leane, and Leen Qasim on Beech Road, this establishment has quickly become a local sensation, filling a void in the town's culinary offerings. Previously, residents had to travel for a satisfying burrito, but now they can indulge in these treats locally.

Carmella’s Burritos sources all its produce locally, ensuring freshness and quality. Sean, a fitness enthusiast, and Kevin, an experienced chef, are particular about what they serve, guaranteeing that the food meets their own high standards. The restaurant uses meats from Cronin’s Butchers and fresh vegetables from O’Shea's Fruit & Veg, emphasising their commitment to quality.

The process of crafting your burrito is not only speedy but also customisable, allowing customers to choose their preferred ingredients. Beyond burritos, the menu includes soups, hotdogs, tea, and coffee. The establishment offers ample seating upstairs, providing a relaxing atmosphere for patrons to enjoy their meals. Carmella’s Burritos has become the go-to spot for lunch, offering a hassle-free experience and a delightful selection of food and beverages.

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.
