A 15 year old Ukrainian boy is looking for help in re-homing his dog Bucky,

ONE BOY AND HIS DOG: Herman 15 urgently needs a new home for his dog Bucky.

Herman always dreamed of  owing dog.

When he arrived from Ukraine to Ireland he decided to realise his dream.

He found a kennel that agreed to give him a dog. Unfortunately, Herman did not seek permission from his mother or the hotel where he lives.

So for the past month, Herman and his new friend Bucky have been spending the whole day in the park, and the nights where they have to.

Sometimes Herman and his dog spend the night with friends who are ready to shelter them for the night.

But the dog is growing and needs a permanent home and constant training.

Now the dog Bucky is in a temporary animal shelter and if a new owner is not ready to shelter him, then the dog will simply be euthanized.

Herman and his mother cry at the very thought of it.

Bucky is 9 months old and is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier. He is an excellent companion dog that is very attached to its owner. You may have met the boy and his smiling dog on the streets of Killarney.

These dogs, due to their small size, are able to live in any apartment or private house. However, he always needs walks two times a day.

If you are looking for a companion dog and you are ready to take him into your home, as well as start training him, contact Herman's mom Svetlana, please on +353 (87) 975 3596.

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.

Representing the Killarney Municipal District at Sunday’s Assess Ireland Rally of the Lakes launch, Cllr Niall ‘Botty’ O’Callaghan praised the enduring partnership between the Rally of the Lakes and the local community.

For the O’Callaghan family, the event is deeply personal; they own and operate the Failte Hotel on College Street, a landmark business that has grown alongside the rally for decades.
Cllr O’Callaghan noted that the history of the Failte Hotel is inextricably linked with the rally’s heritage, serving as a hub for competitors and fans since the early days of the event.
He said that the rally has become a vital part of the fabric of Killarney life, providing a massive economic and social boost to the town. “The rally has been part of the hotel’s history as much as the hotel has been part of the rally’s history,” he told the gathered crowd, expressing his pride in seeing the tradition continue.
He welcomed the organisers and sponsors to Gleneagle, wishing the event continued success as it remains a cornerstone of the Killarney sporting calendar.
