Communications and events agency ETC has announced the senior promotion of Fossa woman Róisín Kivlehan to the role of Client Director.

The appointment comes as part of a wider expansion for the agency, which operates across Kerry and Cork.

A communications specialist with 16 years of experience, Róisín began her career in national radio before transitioning into PR, marketing, and corporate communications.

Having been a core member of the ETC team for the past four years, her new role will see her oversee a diverse portfolio of regional and national clients while driving the agency’s continued growth in the Kerry region.

Róisín is a well-known figure in the local hospitality and tourism sector, working closely with several high-profile Killarney brands.

Her portfolio includes the strategic promotion of the Wander Wild Festival and ongoing work with leading hotels, most notably the Aghadoe Heights Hotel & Spa.

Alongside Róisín’s appointment, the agency also promoted Nicole Murphy to the position of Social Media & Events Manager, recognising her impact on digital campaigns and experiential marketing.

"Róisín and Nicole have both played hugely important roles in ETC’s growth over recent years," said Niamh Murphy, Managing Director of ETC. "Róisín’s strategic mindset, exceptional project management, and deep understanding of our clients make her a natural fit for Client Director. As we approach our ten-year anniversary, I’m proud to have such a strong team helping to shape the future of the agency."

ETC specialises in providing strategic storytelling, marketing, and event production for the tourism, arts, and entertainment sectors.

Work on new, fully accessible public toilet facilities at Killarney Library is set to begin on Monday, July 20, marking the realisation of a project first tabled over two years ago.

The upgrade was initially put forward by Councillor Marie Moloney in May 2024, when she raised a motion at a Kerry County Council meeting highlighting the unacceptable lack of disabled toilets in a public building. At the time, Cllr Moloney noted that while access ramps were in place, several library users with disabilities were disappointed by the lack of facilities. “I will be keeping the pressure on to have these facilities provided as soon as possible,” she stated at the time.
Delivered by the Council’s Facilities Section, the upcoming works are expected to be completed in the autumn. The development will provide a new entrance to the toilet area, a fully accessible toilet, and baby changing facilities.
Killarney Library will remain open throughout the construction period, with all regular services continuing as normal. To ensure safety, the front porch, the existing public toilets, and the events room will be temporarily closed. Visitors will access the library via a signposted side entrance, and alternative public toilets will be available nearby at the High Street Car Park.

Kerry Mountain Rescue Team (KMRT) has issued a warm weather warning for anyone climbing in the region after being called to assist a walker on Sunday.

The rescue team was tasked to the Devil’s Ladder area of Carrauntoohil (Corrán Tuathail) to help a climber experiencing severe exhaustion and dehydration. Volunteers successfully assisted the walker down to an awaiting vehicle.
With the current heatwave continuing, KMRT is reminding all hillwalkers to prepare adequately before setting out.
The team recommends carrying at least one extra litre of water, wearing sunscreen, and using a peaked or wide-brimmed hat. Walkers should set out early in the morning to ensure they are off the mountains before the peak heat builds in the middle of the day.
KMRT also advises walkers to consider changing their plans to less strenuous routes or rescheduling their climbs entirely until temperatures drop.
