Former Boyzone star Ronan Keating was in Killarney this week as part of a BBC production crew filming a documentary on the Wild Atlantic Way.

On Monday evening, Keating visited the Dr Crokes GAA clubhouse. He spent time on the pitch where he was taught how to play hurling by members of the senior team.
The visit lasted about three hours and coincided with a game between Dr. Crokes and Legion on the top field. This gave club members and parents from both sides a chance to meet him. Keating posed for photos with children and other club members.

Afterwards club chairman Eoin Brosnan gifted him the Dr Crokes team kit he wore for the lessons.
The crew continued filming on Wednesday, working on the lakes to capture more footage. A large BBC production team reportedly arrived at Kerry Airport on Tuesday for the project.
There is no official confirmation yet on when the documentary will air.

Killarney will play host to some of the world’s rarest and most powerful vehicles when the Cannonball Run makes its first overnight stop in the town on Friday evening.

The cars are due to arrive at 5.45pm at the finish line outside The Brehon Hotel, where spectators and families can view the machines in the car parks of both The Brehon and Gleneagle Hotel.
Among the highlights this year is the Koenigsegg Regera, a megacar that blends hypercar performance with luxury design. Also confirmed is the McLaren Senna, a unique one-off model finished in a West livery by McLaren Special Operations, echoing the brand’s famous Formula 1 colours.
Adding to the excitement for rally fans, a rare Ford M-Sport rally support van, one of just six ever built, will be showcased in Killarney at the Cannonball.
