Audiences worldwide will get a unique glimpse of an award winning Irish dance and music show tomorrow (Saturday) as their performance is live streamed online.

Guests will also attend the Gaelic Roots Show, created and produced by well-known local Niall O'Donoghue, in-person live at the Dúchas Comhaltas Centre at MTU Tralee.

Niall has been involved in both the entertainment and hotel industry since the 1980s and has won many awards and accolades since its debut.

It's the number one pre-sold show in Killarney with many worldwide tour operators booking seats two years in advance for their clients to guarantee that they do not miss out on the opportunity to experience the show when they visit the county.

It will feature the amazingly talented Gaelic Roots traditional band under the direction of musical director Conor Moriarty. Also performing will be the wonderful Elle Marie Dwyer and the show's cast of Irish dancers which include two-time world champion Sean Slemon.

"The event has been sold out for weeks and the demand was so great that we could have filled the venue 10 times over!" Niall said.

The talented group were approached by Kerry Comhaltas early in the summer and asked if they would be available to work alongside them to produce and perform a very special performance.

The two hour show has received five star reviews and testimonials and nightly standing ovations throughout the 2022 season.

"The demand for tickets grows every year, with most performances being sold out and the feedback we receive from tour companies is that Gaelic Roots was their client's overall most enjoyable, memorable and favourite experience during their vacation in Ireland."

Gaelic Roots in Concert at the Duchas Comhaltas Centre is funded by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media’s live performance programming scheme with support from Kerry County Council.

Students from St Brendan’s College have given €600 to Kerry Hospice.

The money was raised from their book, ‘Futures from the Past’ which was published in April 2024.
Teacher Mary Denise Lyons and students Divo Lucic Kovacevii, Michéal McElligott, and Jaroslav Stetsenko handed over the funds to Cathal Walshe of Kerry Hospice.
‘Futures from the Past’ is a book written by current and retired writers, as well as students from St Brendan’s College.
This donation is the second from the book, with €800 donated last year and €600 this year.
The book was created to allow students to use their imaginations to explore the past and think about the future. It involved students from Poetry Ireland’s Writers-In-Schools Programme and adult learners from Kerry Education & Training Board’s Community Education Creative Writing group.
The book was launched at St Brendan’s College in April last year and was made possible with support from Poetry Ireland and the Arts Office of Kerry County Council.

School Dayz

Transition Year students at Killarney Community College spent last Tuesday learning the skills to become baristas.

They completed a full-day training course and are now qualified to make coffee, which could make them very employable in local cafes and restaurants this summer.
Their teachers, who are described as the school’s “resident coffee experts,” were impressed with the students’ hard work and enjoyed the lattes, cappuccinos, and Americanos the students made throughout the day.
In addition to their barista training, the TY students also took a trip to Mallow. There, they learned about the rules of the road, practiced the driver theory test, and many got behind the wheel of a car for the first time. They also learned about the dangers of speeding and driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs.
