There are four brand new design Ford Fiestas to be won (an example of which is on display in the Killarney Outlet Centre) kindly provided by Killarney Autos, Ford Irelands main dealership in Killarney.

Sales from the tickets go to help in the running the underage and Football for All programmes at Killarney Celtic, said Mike Lyne, Director of Football.

"We are very grateful to Killarney Autos and Killarney Outlet Centre for their assistance in helping us promote the draw. Whilst the four Ford Fiestas are the number one prize there are also a multitude of alternative prizes including tickets to this year’s Champions League final, a Premier League weekend at Old Trafford and a whole year’s electricity costs amongst hundreds of other fabulous prizes,” he said.

Mike added that club officials have set up a sales desk in the Killarney Outlet Centre and are selling tickets from now until the end of October.

The draw takes place on November 21 and individual tickets cost just

€10. You will be entered into the draw with the fantastic opportunity of winning one of four new style Ford Fiestas amongst a host of other fantastic prizes.

Killarney Celtic are one of the most progressive football clubs in Kerry with over 600 playing members and an award-winning Football for All group. The club’s senior team have just completed a rare double, winning both the league and Greyhound Bar KO Cup finals and they also went very close to being Munster Junior Cup finalists this year. As with all clubs, Killarney Celtic relies heavily on fundraising to support its activities so by investing in the FAI National Draw you will be investing in the future of Killarney Celtic and your local community.

At the launch in The Killarney Outlet Centre was Dermot Moriarty of Killarney Autos who have kindly allowed their new Ford Fiesta to be on show as part of the fundraising effort.

Members of the Killarney Soroptimist Society visited the Rockmount Care Centre on Wednesday, to present a cheque for €3000 to Nurse Manager Mary Hussey.


The significant sum was raised during the society’s successful annual pancake morning held on Shrove Tuesday at the Killarney Avenue Hotel.
Rockmount Care Centre provides essential support as a dedicated day care facility for individuals living with Dementia and Alzheimer’s, serving many clients and families from the Killarney area.
These funds arrive at a vital time, as they are earmarked for the centre’s new sensory garden project, which is currently in the design phase.
Pictured at the presentation are Soroptimists members handing over the proceeds to Mary Hussey. The society extended their thanks to the Killarney Avenue Hotel and all those who supported the fundraiser to help make this donation possible.

Repair works for the Killarney Public Realm project officially commenced on Monday, April 20, following approval from the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage.

This phase of the project, funded by the URDF, focuses on enhancing the streetscape and accessibility of both Main Street and Kenmare Place.
To allow the appointed contractors to carry out the investment safely, a section of the R-878 on Main Street, stretching from Kenmare Place to Plunkett Street, is now closed to traffic. This first period of construction is scheduled to run from April 20 until July 3.
Recognising the importance of the tourism season, the council has confirmed the street will fully reopen from July 4 to October 4 to accommodate peak summer traffic. Following this break, works will resume for a second period starting October 5 and running until December 4.
While vehicle diversions are in place, pedestrian access to all businesses and emergency service access will be maintained throughout the construction phases. Kerry County Council stated that these works are part of a wider programme to improve the safety and quality of the town centre and has thanked the public and local business owners for their cooperation during these essential improvements.
