Lissivigeen National School has announced that its Golf Classic, held on July 10 and 11 at Beaufort Golf Club, raised a total of €33,500.

The fundraiser drew strong support from the community, including parents, grandparents, past pupils, teachers, local businesses and many friends of the school. The money raised will go towards providing sensory educational experiences for students.
Speaking after the event, organiser Michelle Barrett said:
“We are overwhelmed by the support we received. The generosity of our sponsors, golfers, and the wider community made this a fantastic success, and the funds raised will make a real difference for our students.”
The Parents’ Association and Golf Committee also thanked Beaufort Golf Club, Daly’s SuperValu, Tricel Killarney, Killarney Oils and the O’Donoghue Ring Hotel Group as the main sponsors, along with over 70 local businesses and individuals.

The Gleneagle Arena is set to ring in 2026 with a New Year’s Eve concert featuring two of Ireland’s most well-known bands, The Stunning and special guests The Frank & Walters.

The Stunning, formed in Galway in 1987, are known for their chart-topping albums and energetic live performances. Since their reunion in 2003, they have continued to play to packed venues. They will be joined by Cork band The Frank and Walters, whose music and performances have gained them a following across generations.
