The Activator Pole Walking Course run by Kerry Recreation & Sports Partnership and HeartBeat Killarney has seen strong participation in its first two sessions, with the final session scheduled for Thursday, October 2.

The course, held on 26 and 28 August, attracted large numbers of enthusiastic walkers. Maeve Ryan and Ramona Keogh guided participants through the correct use of Activator Poles, offering practical tips and advice. Attendance at the outdoor session in the park on 28 August was even higher than the initial meeting, with poles in high demand.
Maeve Ryan is planning a four-week free course on proper use of the Activator Poles, with details to be announced soon. Participants are encouraged to provide feedback on the course by texting 085 1773 910 or emailing heartbeatkillarneykerry@gmail.com.

Kerry County Council is inviting the people of Killarney to give their views on the draft Integrated Urban Strategy for the town, which is now at its final stage of preparation.

The strategy, part of the THRIVE Town Centre First Heritage Revival Scheme, sets out a plan for the future development of Killarney with a focus on its historic and cultural setting, improving connections, and enhancing streets and public spaces.
A number of heritage buildings, streets and public areas have been identified as having potential for regeneration, with opportunities for conservation, adaptive reuse, reducing vacancy and improving the vibrancy of the town centre.
Jean Foley, Town Regeneration Officer with Kerry County Council, said: “This strategy represents an exciting time for Killarney. It builds on the town’s rich heritage while setting out a vision for a more vibrant, inclusive, and resilient town centre. We’re encouraging everyone in the community to share their views during this final phase of consultation.”
The consultation is open until 4pm on October 19. The draft plan can be viewed at Kerry County Council, County Buildings, Rathass, Tralee, and at Kerry County Council, Killarney Municipal Area Office, Town Hall, Killarney, Co. Kerry, or online at

Pig’s Lane on College Street has become one of the first bars in Ireland to be recognised by the international Pinnacle Guide, earning a coveted ‘1 PIN’ status , the guide’s equivalent of a Michelin star for cocktail bars.

Only 61 venues worldwide were added to the Pinnacle Guide’s latest cohort on Wednesday this week.
The guide rates bars using a three-level PIN system: ‘1 PIN’ for excellent, ‘2 PINs’ for outstanding, and ‘3 PINs’ for exceptional.
This accolade follows Pig’s Lane’s recent wins at the Bar of the Year Awards 2025, where it was named Best Designed Bar of the Year, took bronze in Cocktail Bar of the Year, and last year was named Innovative Bar of the Year.
Opened in October 2023, Pig’s Lane is Killarney’s first subterranean cocktail bar, known for its creative drinks, locally sourced snacks, and live music.
It is part of the O’Donoghue Ring Collection and led by Managing Director Gemma Ring alongside world champion mixologist Ariel Sanecki.
Gemma said: “We are so proud to be part of Ireland’s debut in the Pinnacle Guide. Achieving a PIN involves a detailed assessment of every aspect of a bar’s operation, from the drinks programme and service to venue design, management, sustainability, and more. To be recognised alongside such incredible bars around the world, many of whom we admire deeply, is incredibly inspiring. This achievement is a celebration of our entire team and we couldn’t be prouder.”
