BORN bumper birthday celebration this weekend

Published

on

This time last year a whole new shopping experience was BORN in Killarney – and after a fabulous 12 months, a very special first birthday celebration is planned for this weekend.

When BORN opened its doors for the first time at Killarney Outlet Centre last April, it was a great boost to the town as it attracted one of Ireland’s leading fashion retailers and created 10 new jobs.

In what was a real vote of confidence in the local economy, BORN set up shop in a 4,734sq ft store offering fabulous fashion at affordable prices to style conscious ladies and gents.

With a reputation for making fashion accessible and fun and offering the very latest trends for less, BORN opened its first premises in 2009 and now boasts 23 stores nationwide, as well as offering a top class online option.

Alongside popular brand names, BORN also specialises in their two in-house brands for ladies, Emily & Me and Luna, and their exclusive Phoenix brand for men ensuring that customers can pick up something different that no other high street store will have.

To mark the bumper first birthday – after a great first year in business – a real party atmosphere will prevail in the store this Friday with super goodie bags for the first 30 customers to make a purchase, great giveaways and fantastic special offers all day from 9.30am.

The party will continue right through the weekend so make it your business to pay a visit to Killarney Outlet Centre.

You may have already experienced BORN – now it’s time for BORN again.

Kerry Community Youth Service (KCYS) was pleased to welcome Minister Niall Collins to its Youth Diversion Project in Kilarney last week.

The visit gave the Minister an opportunity to meet staff and hear directly about the work of the Kerry Youth Diversion Project, including early intervention, family support, court accompaniment and wider youth justice practice across the county.
KCYS supports young people across a broad continuum of services in Kerry, from preventative and developmental youth work through to highly targeted interventions for young people and families facing significant challenge and complexity. The Youth Diversion Project forms an important part of that wider continuum of support.
Speaking following the visit, Seamus Whitty, CEO of KCYS, said:
“We were delighted to welcome Minister Collins to Kerry and to have the opportunity to give him a sense of the breadth and depth of the work being carried by the Youth Diversion Project here.
The Youth Diversion Project in Kerry is a strong and well-developed intervention, grounded in practice, informed by evidence, and marked by innovation in how it supports young people and families. It is part of a broader continuum of supports provided by KCYS, and it depends on strong collaboration across teams, services and community partners to make a real difference in people’s lives.
It is also important to acknowledge the Department’s continued commitment to youth justice. The policy direction in this area has been a progressive one, and that has created space for work of this kind to develop and respond to need in a meaningful way.”
The visit highlighted the scale and complexity of the work being carried by the KCYS team, and the importance of sustained investment in youth work responses for young people and families.
