Kerry Cork match remains fixed for Killarney

By Sean Moriarty
The Kerry v Cork game remains fixed for Fitzgerald Stadium despite the Munster Council admitting there are “ongoing discussions going on in the background”.
Last month the Munster Council announced that the May 7 match will be played at Fitzgerald Stadium.
The game was originally scheduled for Páirc Uí Rinn as Páirc Uí Chaoimh is unavailable due to an Ed Sheeran concert at the venue.
The Kerry and Cork County Boards have a long-standing agreement where home and away matches are played on alternate years.
However, the Munster Council deemed Páirc Uí Rinn too small to host such a prestigious game and elected to transfer the fixture to Killarney allowing the local pitch two successive games.
Since the announcement the Cork team and management has steadfastly refused to play the game in Killarney and have threatened to grant Kerry a walkover if the match is played anywhere but Páirc Uí Rinn.
With the game three weeks away, fans and teams need to start their final preparations.
As it stands officially, the game is fixed for Killarney and that has not changed.
“The fixture was made in March and there is no update on that,” a Munster Council official told the Killarney Advertiser.
“There are ongoing discussions in the background, ideally we need to make the decision, and the sooner the better as we need to make arrangements for the teams but as it stands there is no update.”
Kerry GAA officials will not get drawn into the debate.
Two different Kerry County Board officials told the Killarney Advertiser that “the decision is for the Munster Council”.

Killarney Branch, Kerry Hospice Foundation are hoping the sun will shine for their Sunflower Day fundraiser which takes place on Friday, June 10.
There will be collections at various locations in and around town as well as Foley’s Spar Shop, Fossa and Hegarty’s Spar Shop, Muckross.
“This is our first Sunflower Day collection since 2019. It is one of our main annual fundraising events and is always well supported by the local community” says Cathal Walshe, PRO., Killarney Hospice Branch.
The services provided by Kerry Hospice Foundation for people with life limiting illnesses at it’s 15 bed inpatient unit and “Suaimhneas” Day Care Centre at University Hospital Kerry have been well documented in recent years. Also highlighted is the fact that it costs in the region of €10,000 weekly to provide these services.
Kerry Hospice Foundation has plans for further expansion of its services into the future. An outreach clinic has already been set up at Killarney Community Hospital where patients can meet with a Palliative Care Specialist. This service along with the existing services would not be possible were it not for the generous support Kerry Hospice gets from the people of Kerry.
People can find out more about the work of Kerry Hospice Foundation at www.kerryhospice.com, on Facebook or on Twitter @kerryhospice.
