Now it is refreshing to see the state of the Blue Pool taken up at council level, by former mayor of Killarney Niall Kelleher.

He has put a motion the council write to the NPWS management to arrange a meeting about issues in Killarney National Park and to also discuss the neglect of the Blue Pool Walkway.

The motion was passed and Cllr Kelleher says what is envisaged is quarterly meetings between the Killarney MD and the NPWS.

“We need to have a conversation about the Blue Pool and about a number of issues with the NPWS and we need a joint strategy,” Cllr Kelleher said.

Let’s see what happens, in a week in which one of the leading deer societies published a picture of 300 deer in one field of the National Park. 300!

The annual Killarney Regatta Dance took place on September 25 as rowers, families and supporters came together to celebrate their successful year.

The racing was cancelled in September due to bad weather.

The Killarney Regatta is one of Ireland’s oldest rowing events, having first begun in 1788.

The dance took place at the Killarney Oaks Hotel where there was a lot of excitement and fun. Six rowing clubs, Fossa, Workman’s, St Brendan’s, Commercials, Flesk Valley, and Muckross, came together to celebrate the community and its shared history.

Amelia Counihan was crowned as the Regatta Queen.

The Queen represents the spirit pride and grace of the rowing community and has been a tradition in the club for generations.

Workman’s Rowing Club congratulated Amelia and described her as a woman who embodies everything that their tradition stands for.

The club said: “Queen is more than a title — it is a celebration of history, community, and the spirit of Killarney rowing.”
