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.

Kerry Community Youth Service (KCYS) was pleased to welcome Minister Niall Collins to its Youth Diversion Project in Kilarney last week.

The visit gave the Minister an opportunity to meet staff and hear directly about the work of the Kerry Youth Diversion Project, including early intervention, family support, court accompaniment and wider youth justice practice across the county.
KCYS supports young people across a broad continuum of services in Kerry, from preventative and developmental youth work through to highly targeted interventions for young people and families facing significant challenge and complexity. The Youth Diversion Project forms an important part of that wider continuum of support.
Speaking following the visit, Seamus Whitty, CEO of KCYS, said:
“We were delighted to welcome Minister Collins to Kerry and to have the opportunity to give him a sense of the breadth and depth of the work being carried by the Youth Diversion Project here.
The Youth Diversion Project in Kerry is a strong and well-developed intervention, grounded in practice, informed by evidence, and marked by innovation in how it supports young people and families. It is part of a broader continuum of supports provided by KCYS, and it depends on strong collaboration across teams, services and community partners to make a real difference in people’s lives.
It is also important to acknowledge the Department’s continued commitment to youth justice. The policy direction in this area has been a progressive one, and that has created space for work of this kind to develop and respond to need in a meaningful way.”
The visit highlighted the scale and complexity of the work being carried by the KCYS team, and the importance of sustained investment in youth work responses for young people and families.
