The club celebrated a never-to-be-forgotten 2022 at the Killarney Heights Hotel and honoured some of its star players that led both club and county to national success over the last 12 months.

Former Kerry footballer, Aidan O’Mahony, who announced his retirement from football late last year, was honoured for his commitment to the club over the years.

The club won three major titles last season and the Kerry, Munster and All-Ireland Intermediate Championship cups were on display. The management team of Tim Cronin, Denis Moynihan and Dan O’Sullivan were also honoured on the night.

“It was an absolutely marvellous night and one to be remembered – we had a highly successful year to celebrate,” club PRO Diarmuid McCarthy told the Killarney Advertiser.

The club also supplied two players to Jack O’Connor’s All-Ireland-winning Kerry team and both Kerry goalkeeper Shane Ryan and half-back Paul Murphy were also recognised on the night.

“Our two county players had a wonderful year,” said Diarmuid.

Brian Friel was named as the Club Player of the Year and the prestigious Club Person of the Year award went to secretary Mike Cronin.

“It was richly deserved, I don’t know how Mike keeps on top of everything,” added the PRO.

Minor Fionn Murphy was also honoured after he won an All Star award for Kerry last season.

The club PRO thanked the organising committee, Deborah Daly, Emma Copper-Buckley, Tim O’Brien, Fintan Twomey and Don Casey for putting on an event that “was organised to a tee".

This Culture Night, Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh will present an hour-long live music and arts programme from Dún Lúiche in the heart of the Donegal Gaeltacht at 7pm on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player.  

Actress and singer Jessie Buckley has been added to the list of stellar musicians who will perform with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra on the night. Jessie will perform a special rendition of a Sinéad O’Connor song in tribute to the late artist. 

Jessie commented: “I am very honoured to return to Culture Night 2023 to remember Sinéad O Connor with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra. Sinéad was such a huge influence on so many women in Ireland and across the world, her courage, her mind, her politics and her intense beauty and soul. She was a warrior to humanity. I remember hearing her for the first time and feeling her uncompromising need to connect and affect. Recognising what couldn’t be said and speaking it out loud. I am so grateful for all her fire and all her love. It is such a privilege to return to Ireland for RTÉ Culture Night in Donegal to sing a song of gratitude for Sinéad and her family and friends.” 

Other artists performing with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra include The Murder Capital, R&B singer and 2FM Rising star Aby Coulibaly and Irish-based Ukrainian musician Olesya Zdorovetska.

The revealing of the preferred route corridor for the construction of the new Killarney to Farranfore road has been delayed – again.

Four potential routes for the N22 Farranfore-Killarney project were identified and were put out to public consultation in May 2021. These have now been whittled down to just one.

It was previously promised that the preferred route would be published late last year.

This dragged on in to the Spring and there is still no sigh of the preferred route being revealed.

A recent Kerry County Council meeting a council official explained that there are further funding requirements to allow the council complete various reports and investigations required before the road can move to its next phase.
