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.

Street spectacle to end summer in style

The town centre is set to play host to a vibrant street spectacle this weekend as West Kerry performance group MOTHÚ returns to mark the end of the summer season.

Taking place on Saturday, August 22, the free outdoor event will feature giant puppets, fire dancers, musicians, and lantern displays, bringing music, magic, and theatrical performance directly to the heart of the town.


The production, titled The Seeker or An Cuardaitheoir, draws inspiration from the writings of renowned 20th-century Irish language poet Seán Ó Ríordáin.

The performance explores themes of the soul, isolation, and rebirth, bringing the poet’s work to life through large-scale creative arts.


MOTHÚ is well known to local audiences following previous acclaimed street performances in Killarney, including Peig Mór and Aisling Ghobnait.


The spectacle will begin at Market Cross at 8.45pm, with the performance leading a parade through Main Street before finishing in College Square.
Organisers expect a large turnout for the free family event and recommend that attendees arrive early to secure a good viewing spot along the route.
