T
The Spa at the Killarney Plaza is celebrating a milestone birthday this month: 15 fantastic years in business in the heart of Killarney town. The first spa to open its doors in the town, the fact that they’re still thriving is a testament to their hard working staff and management. Special credit is due to Patricia Horgan who has been a dedicated member of the team since day one.
“We’ve built up such a loyal clientele over the years,” said Norma Costello. “We get a lot of locals from Killarney, people from Tralee, and a lot of our regulars would even travel from Cork and Limerick as well. We would like to thank all our customers for all their support throughout the years. We really appreciate their custom.
“We’d also like to thank our amazing team including therapists Shauna Baitson, Lauren Keane and Maggie O’Connor for all their great work,” she added. “They’re so talented and so good at what they do.”
To celebrate their anniversary, the Spa at the Killarney Plaza will be running a July Offer for the duration of this month. This includes a back, neck and shoulder massage (aromatherapy or deep tissue) and a hydra floral moisture shield anti-pollution facial (designed by Nichola Joss, Meghan Markle’s facialist). Light refreshments are also included, as is complimentary access to the heated swimming pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi. All of this is available for the amazing price of €89.
The Spa at the Killarney Plaza has been a tranquil oasis in the heart of Killarney town centre the past 15 years. Here’s to many more great years of success!

A Tipperary woman is going to attempt to climb Carrauntoohil three times in one day to raise money for a sick child.
Nikita Conlon from Roscrea is a personal trainer and care assistant who has been working in health care for 18 years.
While working at the Milford Care Centre she met the family of Noah Quish. The six-year-old from Monaleen, Limerick was born with serious health issues ranging from a heart defect, severe laryngomalacia, severe sleep apnoea, scoliosis and chromosome deletion.
‘I worked in the Milford Care Centre for five years where I met Una Quish, Noah’s mam, so I felt the need to do something to help his family. I decided to set up this fundraiser.
“I plan to set off at midnight on Friday October 6, and hope to finish at 5 pm on Saturday.
“I have previously Climbed Kilimanjaro in February 2023 and raised over €6000 for the Dean Maxwell Nursing Home in Roscrea,” she said.
“My whole life I have felt the need to help others and now it’s time to help Noah and I need the support to help him.
“This challenge is not going to be easy but I am going to give it my all.
“I have experienced hikers coming along on the day.’
Her plan is to leave Cronin’s Yard at midnight and to return to the starting point at 4.30 am. She will restart at 5 am from the bottom of the Devil’s Ladder. By 10 am on Saturday she hopes to have started her third and final lap.
