Marathon run to honour memory of beloved teacher Sarah
A local man is taking on the Dublin City Marathon to raise funds for cancer research in memory of his sister-in-law, who passed away earlier this year.
David 'Daithí' Casey will run the 26.2-mile course in honour of Sarah Egan, a popular local teacher who lost her battle with Ewing Sarcoma in May.
Known affectionately to her family and friends as Suzie, Sarah was a cherished daughter, sister, aunt, godmother, and friend.
Paying tribute to her memory, David remembered Sarah as a exceptionally kind and brave person who faced her illness with immense strength.
"Suzie was a kind, caring, shy, and beautiful person," David said. "When she got sick, she showed amazing inner strength and was a brave fighter, especially in how she handled her illness in front of her family and her nieces and nephews."
All funds raised from the run will go directly to Sarcoma Cancer Ireland to support ongoing research and treatment developments for Ewing Sarcoma, as well as providing assistance to affected families.
"Every mile I run is a reminder of why I’m doing this — to make a real difference for those who need it most," David added. "It’s not just about crossing a finish line; it’s about turning effort into impact."
The Egan and Casey families extended their sincere thanks to the local community for their support and kindness over the past three months.

New temporary entrance at Dunloe Hotel
Motorists travelling along the L4040 in Beaufort are being advised to exercise caution in the coming weeks following changes to the road layout at The Dunloe Hotel & Gardens.
A temporary site entrance and new tarmacadam surface have been installed on the L4040 to manage traffic during ongoing construction work at the hotel.
Temporary site hoarding, entrance gates, and a mobile site cabin are now in place to allow heavy machinery and construction vehicles safe access to the grounds as redevelopment progresses.
The temporary road layout will remain active for the duration of the multi-phase hotel upgrade works.
Once construction is fully completed, developers will remove the temporary entrance and return the hotel entrance configuration to its original layout.
Exploring the National Park after dark
Killarney Parish marked the annual Season of Creation by teaming up with the Killarney National Park Education Centre for an after-dark nature event in the park.
Led by newly appointed Parish Administrator Fr Pat O’Donnell, the local community group took part in a Nocturnal Nature Ramble organised in conjunction with European Youth in Parks Day and its ‘Parks in the Dark’ initiative.
Education Centre staff Chris Barron and Tara Buckley guided participants through the park to observe wildlife that becomes active after dusk.
Using bat detectors and night-vision binoculars, the group tracked local nocturnal species and learned about the nighttime ecosystem within the park grounds.
