An honorary Garda has one wish for his 10th birthday next month - to be FAMOUS!

Sean Kearney from Ardfert is asking for birthday cards to be sent to him from all over the country. His double digit birthday takes place on May 5 and to put a big smile on his face, he's hoping the public will send him a birthday card in the post.

Gillian McEoin from Killarney Garda Station has teamed up with Tralee based Garda Mary Gardiner, and are asking that the cards be sent to either Garda Station.

"Sean is one of those children who hasn’t had the easiest time of it healthwise but is a prime example of how resilient children are through all adversity," Gillian said. "Let’s help make this little guy's birthday even more extra special."

Cards can be sent care of Gillian McEoin at Killarney Garda Station, New Road, Killarney or to Garda Mary Gardiner, Tralee Garda Station, New Rd, Tralee.

Noel O’Neill has claimed first place in the Unrestricted category of the latest Killarney Camera Club competition, which focused on the theme of the ‘Kerry Landscape’.

His winning photograph, titled ‘Conor Pass Lake and the Three Sisters’, features a detailed study of Mullaghveal located beneath the Conor Pass.

The image captures the wide sweep of the valley, utilizing an elevated viewpoint that allows the glacial landscape to unfold toward the Atlantic horizon. The composition highlights the quiet lakes in the foreground against the dark, rocky slopes of the valley, with the distant outline of the Three Sisters adding further depth and scale to the scene.
