The competition attracted a great entry of superb photos including a total of 26 images.

"It was so inspiring to see such a diversity of images for this open digital competition," PRO of the club, Deirdre O'Donoghue, said.

"Well done to everyone who entered and congratulations to all our winners. Our Killarney Camera Club’s 21st exhibition continues in Killarney House in December."

Cash reward as beloved family pet stolen

A local family is desperately seeking the return of their beloved pet dog, Bruce, who was stolen from their home in the Kilcummin/Mastergeeha area on the night of Saturday, November 2.

Bruce, an 11-year-old Doberman, is easily recognisable due to a fresh wound on his left paw and his larger-than-average size.

Despite his intimidating appearance, Bruce is a gentle and friendly dog who requires daily medication for arthritis.

The family is offering a reward for any information leading to Bruce’s safe return. If you have any information regarding his whereabouts, please contact the Killarney Garda Station immediately.

The family is urging anyone who may have seen Bruce or knows anything about his disappearance to come forward, no matter how small the detail.
