TFI Local Link Kerry is enhancing bus services from Dingle/Daingean Uí Chúis to Killarney from Monday, June 3.

This enhancement is part of the Connecting Ireland Rural Mobility Plan which is a major national public transport initiative developed and funded by the National Transport Authority (NTA) as part of the Transport for Ireland (TFI) Network.
Route 276 will be extended from Castlemaine to Killarney. The enhanced service will operate three daily return services Monday to Sunday and will offer new peak-time and evening services.
The route will enhance connectivity to villages and areas such as Lios Póil, Annascaul, Inch, Ballyarkane, Boolteens, Castlemaine, Milltown, Listry, Faha and Fossa and will provide improved connectivity to regional bus services to facilitate onward travel.
“In partnership with the NTA, we are delighted to extend Route 276 to Killarney. Two iconic towns will be connected by regular public transport bus services which is a significant boost for local residents and tourists,” said TFI Local Link General Manager, Alan O’Connell.
“This enhanced service will not only support tourism but will also boost the local economy by making the villages of Inch, Castlemaine, Milltown, Listry and Faha more accessible for residents, providing a convenient, cost-effective, and eco-friendly way to travel with regular buses seven days a week.”
“Passengers will have the added benefit of enjoying the stunning landscapes on offer in Inch without the stress of driving.
“Public transport is a vital step towards sustainable rural development, reducing our carbon footprint and ensuring improved connectivity for all residents.”

The Killarney Local Injury Clinic is expected to be open by Q3 2026, according to the HSE. The proposed unit will be located on the grounds of St Columbanus Home.

The timeline was confirmed in response to a Parliamentary Question from Fianna Fáil TD Michael Cahill, who said the project will follow the relocation of the Community Nursing Unit from its current site to the grounds of the old St Finan’s Hospital. Once the transfer is complete, construction of the injury clinic can proceed.
Deputy Cahill described the two new health facilities as “a fantastic addition for Killarney and the wider East, Mid, and South Kerry regions” and noted they will help reduce waiting times at University Hospital Kerry A&E.
“I will continue to push for enhanced health services for our people,” added the Fianna Fáil Spokesperson for Older People.
The new clinic is expected to provide urgent care services for local residents, easing pressure on hospital emergency departments and improving access to timely treatment in the Killarney area.

Boxer Kevin ‘The Kingdom Warrior’ Cronin received a warm homecoming in Jimmy O’Brien’s Bar on College Street on Sunday evening following his victory in Dublin last weekend, where he was crowned Irish Light Heavyweight Champion.

Mayor of Killarney Cllr Martin Grady was on hand to officially welcome the new champion home, congratulating him on what he described as “a proud moment for Killarney and for Kerry sport.”
Cronin, who is sponsored by Jimmy O’Brien’s Bar, claimed the vacant national title after a hard-fought ten-round battle against Cork’s Cathal Crowley at the National Stadium, Dublin, on Friday night last.
The Kerry fighter won by majority decision, with the judges scoring the contest 95-94, 97-93 and 95-95. The result capped off years of dedication and hard work for Cronin, who now holds an 11-3-1 professional record.
Speaking at the homecoming, Cronin thanked his supporters and sponsors for their backing throughout his career.
“It’s unbelievable to bring this title to Kerry,” he said. “The support from home means everything. This one’s for everyone who’s been with me from the start.”
Crowds packed into Jimmy O’Brien’s Bar to celebrate the achievement, with music, photos and plenty of local pride on display.
