THEIR paths first crossed in O’Sullivan’s Pharmacy, Killarney, so it is not surprising Rebecca O’Sullivan and Robbie O’Connell made sure to stop by the New Street business after they exchanged wedding vows.

Rebecca, from Glenlough, Kilgarvan, and Robbie, from Carrigaline, Cork, were married in St Mary’s Cathedral, Killarney, and held their reception in the Europe Hotel & Resort, Fossa.

It was a case of love at first sight when the couple met in February 2010. “Robbie came into the shop with his friend Donald Dwyer,” said the bride. “I work with Donald’s mum Nuala Dwyer who is a pharmacist in O’Sullivan’s. Rob and Donald, who are both teachers, were on their mid-term break and had popped in to say hello to Nuala.”

The rest is history. On their wedding day, Rebecca and Robbie were delighted to pose for a picture with O’Sullivan’s Pharmacy owner Anthony O’Sullivan in a photo-shoot led by Denis Hyland. “We are now living in Douglas, Cork,” said Rebecca. “I commute to Killarney every day to work and Robbie is a primary school teacher in St Columba’s Boys National School in Douglas.”

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.
