A Palestinian family now living in Killarney - who themselves have experience of war - have decided to donate a day's takings from their business to help the Ukrainian people.

Local business owners Mo and Fatima Salah, who opened VIP Turkish Barbers in 2019 in Market Lane, will donate the money paid by customers on Monday to help the Ukrainian people who are fleeing their homes as a result of the past week's war raged by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Anyone who calls and pays for a hair cut, beard shave or a hot towel shave will be helping the cause, Mo explained to the Killarney Advertiser.

"I want all the money from Monday's customers to go to the Ukrainian people," he said.

"Anything we get from customers we will donate."

Mo is originally from Nablus in the West Bank Palestine and says they know how scared the people fleeing their country feel.

"I know how how the war affects people," he said.

"I'm from a similar background. Isreal occupied our country so we know how they feel. I want to use my profession to help. We just want to give something back to support them."

The Dóchas Drama Group will run a series of short plays at the Muckross Schoolhouse from December 5 to 7.

The group’s annual performance has been switched to the Muckross venue as its traditional base – the ballroom in the Killarney Avenue Hotel is being refurbished.

“If you are fed up with the incessant rain and constant bad news. Do you need a break? Are tired of listening to advice about your Christmas cake recipe? There is a perfect solution,” said the group’s Liz Ryan.

“We will present six short plays and some of the questions you may ask yourself are: 

“Why is Jane suddenly so honest?

“What did happen on December 9. Will Tiffany be promoted? Will Mags eventually find love?

“Can lost love be re-kindled? What do grandparents get up to when they’re babysitting?

For answers to these questions and more, come along to Muckross Schoolhouse on December 5, 6 and 7.”
