MAXUS, a leading name in the commercial vehicle industry, has expanded its presence in Ireland as Killarney Autos joins the commercial brand’s dealer network.

The new dealership, located on the outskirts of Killarney town, brings the number of MAXUS dealerships in Ireland to 13, reaffirming MAXUS’ commitment to serving customers nationwide.

From this month, the new MAXUS showroom will be open to the public and will offer a comprehensive range of services, including dedicated sales, expert servicing, and reliable aftersales support to customers across the Kerry region.
The sales department at the new showroom will be led by Kevin Donnelly and Tony Fleming, seasoned professionals with extensive experience in both passenger and commercial vehicle sales.

Billy Daly, Managing Director of Killarney Autos, said: "The addition of MAXUS to our offerings at Killarney Autos is a significant milestone for us, and we couldn't be prouder. MAXUS’ versatile product range played a pivotal role in our decision to join forces, particularly the brand’s compelling line of electric vehicles. We firmly believe that the all-electric category holds tremendous growth potential. It's not just about vehicles; it's about embracing a greener future and providing our customers with fit-for-purpose and truly sustainable commercial vehicle options."

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.
