An exhibition by local artist Dolores Lyne has transferred to the Gallery at the Government Buildings in Dublin after a month at Killarney Library.

‘To The Letter’ is an exhibition of paintings and works by Lyne.

They are inspired by a trove of family letters between two brothers, General Liam Lynch Chief of staff IRA and his brother Tom from 1917 -1923.

The large folding canvases evoke the locations where the letters were written, hard-to-find safe houses and remote farmsteads from the Cork and Kerry borders and beyond; turbulent and dangerous time in Ireland’s history.

The exhibition was originally commissioned as part of Cork County Council’s Decade of Centenary programme.

The competition was judged by photographer Vivian Buckley, who offered a critique praising Anne’s eye for detail and confirming that the image effectively “nailed the theme”.

Students from three local secondary schools, St Brendan’s College, St Bridget’s Secondary School, and Killarney Community College, are joining forces with the Killarney Tidy Town Committee, Kerry County Council, and the Meitheal group to focus on environmental projects.

The students recently gave impressive presentations detailing their efforts to actively promote biodiversity, tackle litter waste, and protect the environment.
Attending the presentations were members of the Tidy Towns Committee and Mayor of Killarney Councillor Martin Grady.
The students have conducted surveys to highlight the worst areas prone to litter and have carried out subsequent litter picking in those areas while also creating public awareness.
Additionally, bird feeders have been made in woodwork classes and mounted within the school grounds.
One of the key strategies adopted by the schools to maintain and increase diversity has been the development and nurturing of garden areas within their grounds.
These green spaces serve a vital role in supporting the local ecosystem, promoting student well-being, and empowering learners of all abilities.
