Kerry County Council is holding a second public meeting to talk about the future of Killarney Town Centre and its old buildings.

This meeting for ‘THRIVE Killarney’will be on Tuesday, May 20, from 6pm to 8pm in the Sika Room at the Killarney Plaza Hotel.
This follows a first meeting in February. The focus will be on creating a plan for Killarney Town Centre and discussing its heritage buildings.
The evening will include a short talk at 6:15pm, followed by a workshop where people can share their thoughts and ideas.
The THRIVE programme helps local councils and people to come up with new ideas for town centres. It also aims to renovate and find new uses for empty or run-down old buildings that are owned by the public in these town centres.
Everyone is welcome to drop in at any time during the event to listen, join in, speak to the project team, and share their opinions on the Killarney project.
THRIVE is the ‘Town Centre First Heritage Revival Scheme’ which is partly funded by the Irish Government and the European Union.

Celebrations are underway in Killarney after Centra at The Reeks Gateway on Tralee Road sold a EuroMillions ticket worth €1,005,000 in the Friday, August 21 draw.

The lucky winner secured the life-changing sum through the special Ireland Only Raffle event after purchasing a Quick Pick ticket on the day of the draw.
Store owner John Bowler, who has operated the shop for over 20 years, expressed his delight after receiving the news from the National Lottery.
“There’s a great buzz around the store and we’re absolutely delighted,” Bowler said. “We have a mix of local customers and visitors coming through our doors every day, so the winner could be anyone. While we’ve sold fantastic prizes over the years, this is by far the biggest. It’s wonderful news for Killarney.”
National Lottery spokesperson Emma Monaghan urged anyone who bought a ticket at the store on Friday to check their numbers carefully. The ticket holder is advised to sign the back of the ticket, keep it safe, and contact the National Lottery prize claims team to arrange collection.
