Killarney woman Brid O’Connor was named as one of eight Fexco Kerry Heroes of 2021 just before Christmas.

The awards, presented by Radio Kerry, were presented to people who made outstanding contributions to Kerry life over the last year.

Brid, a cancer survivor, was recognised for her book ‘Spark’. The collection of short stories raised €1000 for the Comfort for Chemo, Kerry.

Late last year she was a guest with fellow Killarney resident Ian O’Connell on his Radio Kerry Programme ‘Standing Out’ programme.

“Brid O Connor is a breast cancer survivor who lost her mother to the same disease. She has written 'Spark' – a beautiful collection of conversations with people who have suffered pain, loss and life altering events and have had the strength to reset their lives following these trials,” said Radio Kerry’s Melanie O’Sullivan.

Each award recipient will be presented with a specially created 2021 award of a handcrafted vase sponsored by Louis Mulcahy Pottery/Potadóireacht na Caolóige, Clogher, Ballyferriter.

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.”
