Wander Wild Fest, in partnership with Pig’s Lane, is set to ignite meaningful conversations around mental health with a special event headlined by one of Ireland’s leading advocates, Niall Breslin, widely known as Bressie.

The festival will launch its acclaimed “It’s a Mindfield” series on April 5th with an intimate fireside chat featuring Bressie, who has become a cornerstone in Ireland’s mental health landscape. The event will take place at 2PM in the cozy surrounds of Pig’s Lane on College Street, promising a thought-provoking afternoon of dialogue, insight, and connection.

Renowned for his groundbreaking work in promoting mental well-being, Bressie is the Founder and Creative Director of A Lust for Life, a platform driving change in how mental health is discussed and understood in Ireland. His award-winning podcast Where Is My Mind?, along with his work as a bestselling author, musician, and former professional rugby player, has made him a compelling and respected voice in national conversations on wellness.

He will be joined by a panel of special guests, each bringing their own perspectives and experiences to the discussion. The event aims to foster a supportive space where festival-goers can engage with the topic of mental health in a meaningful way.

Tickets for the event are now available, and early booking is recommended due to limited capacity.

The event takes place at 2pm, Saturday, April 5 at Pig’s Lane, College Street. Click the link below to book your place.

Kerry TD Michael Cahill says he is pushing to ensure the Killarney Innovation Centre secures the funding it needs for its planned expansion.

Deputy Cahill raised the issue in a recent Parliamentary Question to Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Peter Burke. The centre has applied to the Smart Regions Enterprise Innovation Scheme under Enterprise Ireland to support future projects.
Minister Burke told Deputy Cahill that the centre’s application will receive “appropriate consideration” and confirmed that Enterprise Ireland will assist the organisation in shaping proposals that match the aims of the scheme.
Deputy Cahill said the support would give the Killarney Innovation Centre “a first run to the ball” in identifying suitable projects that can attract national funding. He added that the centre has received strong Government backing for more than 30 years.
The Minister also noted that three other Kerry projects are progressing under the same national scheme, including a €1 million allocation for the AI Navigator Programme at the RDI Hub in Killorglin, which is designed to help small businesses adapt to artificial intelligence.
