FUEL VOUCHERS: Driver with Kerry Cancer Support Group Health Link Transport, John Fleming, was presented with fuel vouchers to the value of €2,000 by Aoife Sheehy CSR Manager with Applegreen Ireland and Ovi Krisciunas, Site Manager at Applegreen in Manor Village Tralee.

Next month’s diesel costs are covered for one countywide charity who are struggling during the current crisis.

With donations way down, and increased costs due to the addition of extra buses on the routes to maintain required physical distancing, Kerry Cancer Support Group, opted instead for an online fundraiser and an appeal seeking support from companies that can get behind this much needed and vital service.

And, one such company who came to their rescue, Applegreen, has donated fuel to the value of €2,000 to cover the next month’s diesel costs. The fuel vouchers will be used to keep the Health Link Transport vehicles on the road between visits to hospitals in Cork and Limerick.

“We are delighted that Applegreen have done this,” Breda Dyland, Manager of the Kerry Cancer Support Group, said. “In the midst of what is a very anxious time for everyone this has come as a very welcome boost for the Kerry Cancer Support team and our service users. All of our funding comes from the community and all of our fundraisers have either been cancelled or postponed so this couldn’t have come at a better time.”

Aoife Sheehy, Corporate Social Responsibility Manager at Applegreen added that they are delighted to support Kerry Cancer Support during these unprecedented times and are very grateful to the essential service they provide.

“Applegreen sites across Kerry have come together to deliver this initiative and now, more than ever, are here for their communities”

To donate and support the charity, Kerry Cancer Support has set up a donation page on Facebook: Kerry Cancer Support Group's COVID-19 Appeal, or you can call 066 7195560 or visit the fundraising section on their website www.kerrycancersupport.com.

A new feature film, created by Irish writer and director Liam O Mochain, is set for release in Killarney next Friday, November 7.

Mr O Mochain said he is delighted to bring ABODE to a Killarney audience following its sold out world premiere at the Galway Film Fleadh and a screening at the recent IndieCork film festival.

ABODE is a feature film with five stories connected by the theme of home and what it means to the different characters in the film.

It shows that home has an importance and a different meaning for everyone.

In ABODE, everyone wants to belong somewhere. The film was shot over a three-year period and finished in early 2025.

O Mochain says that the stories are a mix of drama and comedy, inspired by true stories, events or incidents.

It is set on the theme of home which is very relevant today.

Ryan Lincoln, Sophie Vavessuer, and Liam O Mochain are among the cast.

ABODE is O Mochain’s fourth feature film. His 2017 feature film ‘Lost & Found’ screened at festivals around the world from the Galway Film Fleadh to the Austin Film Festival
