IF YOU experience wanderlust at this time of year then today's launch of the O’Callaghan Coach Holidays brochure will be of huge interest! The Killarney business hosted the extremely well attended event at its office on the Tralee Road.

There was great excitement, with Radio Kerry’s Francis Jones setting up his live broadcast onsite. Francis interviewed some of O’Callaghan Coach Holidays’ regular customers and the drivers who were very happy to speak about their experiences.

The family-run business has been going from strength to strength over the past five years and is continually expanding its portfolio of tours. “The coach holidays team works with people of all ages for their private and scheduled tours, with everything from day trips to longer tours within Ireland, the UK and Europe,” said Catriona O’Callaghan of O’Callaghan Coach Holidays.

“As well as the special interest tours such as farming shows and walking holidays, we also run family-friendly day trips, overnight sightseeing tours, music weekends and tours for the history buffs!”

An exciting development is an increase in the special interest holidays such as the guided walking holidays, with both Croagh Patrick and Ben Nevis included in the new brochure.

O’Callaghan Coach Holidays will also be running supporters coaches to all the Kerry GAA games next year, as well as coaches to international rugby and soccer games and Dublin concerts.
New exciting holidays next year include Historic Dublin, Ireland’s Ancient East, Kilkenny Castle, Rothe House & Nicholas Mosse Pottery, Yorkshire’s Moors & Railways, Ancient Stonehenge to Charming Canterbury, Lille and the Windmills of Holland as well as a new eight-day tour to Lourdes next June. “There are no luggage restrictions, no airports, you just sit on the coach and let O’Callaghan Coach Holidays worry about the rest!” said Catriona.

The Christmas trips to Dublin are gaining in popularity year on year and with seven travel dates this year already filling up fast, O’Callaghan Coach Holidays have added extra dates for 2017.

Members of the Fossa Two Mile Comhaltas recently gathered at the Fossa Community Centre to mark a significant milestone for their branch while giving back to the community.

Catherine Joy, Tim Kissane, and Therese Kissane were proud to present a cheque for €3,234.00 to Catherine Foley, who accepted the donation on behalf of Children’s Hospital Crumlin and Ronald McDonald House Charities. The funds were the result of a series of successful events held throughout the past year to celebrate the branch’s 20th anniversary.
The journey to this donation began in September 2025 with a special 20-Year Reunion Celebration that brought members past and present together to reflect on two decades of music and culture. This was followed by a vibrant Céilí in December 2025, which was organised with the help of the branch’s dedicated set dancing teacher, Catherine Joy. The combined proceeds from these celebrations highlight the incredible generosity and spirit of the local Fossa community and the ongoing support for the branch’s work.
The celebrations are far from over as the group looks toward a busy spring season. Fans of traditional music and dance can look forward to the Annual Rambling House, which is set to take place on March 14 at the Castlerosse Park Hotel. Shortly after, the group will return to the Fossa Community Centre for another Céilí on Sunday, March 22. These upcoming events offer another chance for the community to come together in celebration of Irish heritage and the branch’s continued success.
