St Oliver’s School traffic plan subject to funding
A solution to the parking and traffic flow at St Oliver’s School during peak times will depend on funding, a Killarney Municipal District meeting has been told.
Cllr Martin Grady has been pushing for a traffic management plan at the school, especially at school drop-off and pick-up times.
In August last year St. Oliver's National School received planning approval for the construction of a new one-way vehicular set down area, revised pedestrian facilities and the relocation of parking facilities.
Grady raised the issue again at this week’s Killarney Municipal District Meeting.
In December 2023, the Killarney Municipal District Office, in conjunction with An Garda Síochána, held a meeting regarding traffic management with the staff representing St. Oliver's National School.
“On foot of that meeting, the Killarney Municipal District Office is currently undertaking, traffic counts and speed and traffic flow surveys. These surveys are ongoing and will advise of any improvements, if any, that can be made to improve the traffic management at this location,” a council official told the meeting.
“The office will continue to engage with the school. In regard to parking, a planning application, which contained proposals to provide for a carpark, bus and car set-down areas for the school, has received full planning approval. It is our understanding that these works will proceed once they receive funding.”
Glenflesk GAA hosts cardiac screening clinic
Glenflesk GAA Healthy Club recently welcomed the Dillon Quirke Foundation to run a cardiac screening clinic for its young members.
A total of 45 club players aged 12 to 18 underwent vital heart checks designed to promote early detection and heart health awareness among young athletes.
Medical personnel from Advanced Medical Services conducted the screenings with professionalism and care, while the club’s Healthy Club Team oversaw the smooth operation of the event.
The Dillon Quirke Foundation operates without government funding, relying entirely on public support to raise awareness of Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS) and provide non-cost cardiac clinics to sports clubs across Ireland.
Glenflesk GAA encourages anyone wishing to support the foundation’s ongoing screening work to consider making a donation online at dillonquirkefoundation.com.
