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.”

Three families taking centre stage with Killarney Musical Society

Killarney Musical Society’s upcoming production of ‘All Shook Up’ will feature multiple generations of three different families performing side by side.

The show will run from February 10 to 12 in the Gleneagle Arena. Tickets for the highly anticipated show are on sale now.
Music is well known to bring people of all ages together, and this is clearly evident within the Killarney Musical Society, where several families are sharing the stage this year.
The Spillane/Murray family boasts three generations in the production. Phil Spillane has been an active member since she joined KMS in September 1989.
This year, she performs alongside her daughter Amanda and her granddaughter Caoimhe, who is playing the character Lorraine. All three agree they are having great fun practising dance steps and harmonies together and will treasure this time forever.
Mother and daughter Annie and Alannah McIlroy are taking the stage together for the first time. Annie appeared in the 2023 production of Michael Collins, while Alannah joined the cast last year for Evita. They state that the best part of performing together is the quality time they share, not just during rehearsals but on the journeys to and from them, as both share a deep love for musicals.
Finally, the mother and daughter pair of Linda and Eilise O’Donoghue continue a family tradition. While Linda’s father was involved with KMS back in 1986, Linda herself joined in 2015 after being persuaded by her daughter Eilise, who has been a member since 2012. Before each performance, the two rely on each other: Eilise checks Linda’s hair and makeup, while Linda makes sure Eilise’s costume is perfect. They also enjoy practising their alto lines together, making the experience especially meaningful.
The society looks forward to welcoming audiences to the Gleneagle Arena for the three-night run of ‘All Shook Up’ next February.
