Published

Gardai are seeking the public's help in solving the decades-old mystery of the disappearance of Patrick (Patsy) O'Sullivan, a former chef who worked in Killarney hotels.

Patsy, who was 35 years old at the time of his disappearance in April 1992, was last seen in Lombardstown, County Cork.
Despite being known to travel for work, he always maintained contact with his family. His sudden disappearance, without any trace, has left his loved ones and the authorities perplexed.
Gardaí are appealing to anyone who may have information regarding Patsy's whereabouts, particularly those who may have worked with him in Killarney or other parts of County Kerry. Any information, no matter how small, could be crucial to solving this enduring mystery.
“Do you think you have met Patsy at any time over the interim, perhaps in another part of the world? Please make contact as you may have information that can assist this investigation,” said a Garda spokesperson.
“If you have worked with Patsy in Killarney or Waterville or anywhere else in the country during or since 1992, can you please make contact?”
If you have any information, please contact Mallow Garda Station on 022 31450, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or your local Garda station.

Kerry Community Youth Service (KCYS) was pleased to welcome Minister Niall Collins to its Youth Diversion Project in Kilarney last week.

The visit gave the Minister an opportunity to meet staff and hear directly about the work of the Kerry Youth Diversion Project, including early intervention, family support, court accompaniment and wider youth justice practice across the county.
KCYS supports young people across a broad continuum of services in Kerry, from preventative and developmental youth work through to highly targeted interventions for young people and families facing significant challenge and complexity. The Youth Diversion Project forms an important part of that wider continuum of support.
Speaking following the visit, Seamus Whitty, CEO of KCYS, said:
“We were delighted to welcome Minister Collins to Kerry and to have the opportunity to give him a sense of the breadth and depth of the work being carried by the Youth Diversion Project here.
The Youth Diversion Project in Kerry is a strong and well-developed intervention, grounded in practice, informed by evidence, and marked by innovation in how it supports young people and families. It is part of a broader continuum of supports provided by KCYS, and it depends on strong collaboration across teams, services and community partners to make a real difference in people’s lives.
It is also important to acknowledge the Department’s continued commitment to youth justice. The policy direction in this area has been a progressive one, and that has created space for work of this kind to develop and respond to need in a meaningful way.”
The visit highlighted the scale and complexity of the work being carried by the KCYS team, and the importance of sustained investment in youth work responses for young people and families.

Representing the Killarney Municipal District at Sunday’s Assess Ireland Rally of the Lakes launch, Cllr Niall ‘Botty’ O’Callaghan praised the enduring partnership between the Rally of the Lakes and the local community.

For the O’Callaghan family, the event is deeply personal; they own and operate the Failte Hotel on College Street, a landmark business that has grown alongside the rally for decades.
Cllr O’Callaghan noted that the history of the Failte Hotel is inextricably linked with the rally’s heritage, serving as a hub for competitors and fans since the early days of the event.
He said that the rally has become a vital part of the fabric of Killarney life, providing a massive economic and social boost to the town. “The rally has been part of the hotel’s history as much as the hotel has been part of the rally’s history,” he told the gathered crowd, expressing his pride in seeing the tradition continue.
He welcomed the organisers and sponsors to Gleneagle, wishing the event continued success as it remains a cornerstone of the Killarney sporting calendar.
