Bowling alley approved for Killarney Outlet Centre
Killarney Outlet Centre has secured planning permission to transform six vacant retail units into an eight-lane bowling alley and entertainment hub.
The development will occupy units 43 to 48, a section of the building that has remained empty since the shopping centre first opened in 1999.
Alongside the bowling lanes, the new facility is set to include an interactive games area, significantly expanding the town’s indoor leisure options.
This approval follows a separate planning grant last year which cleared the way for a major redevelopment of another part of the centre.
Those plans involve converting units 63 to 68 into a dining area, while unit 69 is earmarked for a dedicated events space focused on Irish music, dancing, and craft fairs.
The overall project also includes the redevelopment of the main concourse to incorporate a bar and seating area.
Kerry County Council has given the green light for the latest expansion with eight conditions attached to the permission.
Once completed, the combined leisure, dining, and event spaces represent a shift in strategy for the Outlet Centre, moving towards a night-time entertainment and social destination.
Fashion show raises vital funds for Hospice expansion
The annual Models in Recovery Fashion Show drew a massive crowd to the Gleneagle Arena on Wednesday night, raising vital funds for the Kerry Hospice Foundation.
Organised by the Killarney Branch of Kerry Hospice, the evening featured female and male models who are all in recovery from various forms of cancer.
Guests arrived to a wine reception before enjoying entertainment from the Liam O’Connor family. Donegal TV personality Noel Cunningham returned as host for the night, keeping the packed audience entertained throughout the show.
Among those taking to the runway was Spa clubman Dan O’Donoghue, a two-time County Senior Football Championship winning captain with East Kerry.
All proceeds from the event will go toward a planned €6.5 million, five-bed extension to the existing hospice unit.
