on

The all-new battery electric Toyota C-HR+ has officially arrived at Kelliher’s Toyota Tralee, marking a significant expansion of the brand's electric vehicle lineup in Kerry.

To celebrate the launch, the dealership is hosting a dedicated test drive event running until March 21, allowing local motorists to experience the new model first-hand.

The C-HR+ features a 77 kWh battery that provides a competitive driving range of up to 606km on a single charge.

Toyota is backing this technology with its Electric Battery Extended Care Program, which offers coverage for up to 10 years or one million kilometres, provided the vehicle undergoes an annual battery health check.

This includes a guarantee that the battery will retain at least 70% of its capacity over the 10-year period, supported by the original eight-year manufacturing warranty.

Pricing for the new electric model starts at €42,160 or from €374 per month through Toyota Easy PCP Finance.

For the month of March, Kelliher’s is offering an introductory incentive where customers can choose between a €2,000 Trade-In Booster or a low 3.9% APR finance rate.

The team at Kelliher’s noted that this model combines the established design language of the C-HR with the latest EV innovations, making it a viable option for both daily commutes and longer journeys across the county.

Motorists interested in the new electric SUV can book a test drive via the dealership website or by visiting the Tralee showroom during the event.

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.
