Children were buzzing after bee visit

By Michelle Crean
It was a sweet treat for pupils from a number of primary school children this week who were buzzing after a trip to see the bees up close.
On Monday pupils from St Oliver's Ballycasheen, Lissivegeen, Scoil Bhride Loreto and Presentation Monastery visited an Apiary site on Mill Road to observe bees in their natural environment.
SuperValu recently concluded its 'Save The Bees' campaign which was trying to create awareness on the declining Irish bee population.
Primary schools nationwide were sent pollination packs and 10 lucky schools won a Bursary Prize of €5,000.
There was one lucky Kerry winner Moyderwell Mercy Primary School in Tralee.
"This trip was kindly organised by Stephen and Pat O'Connor from Killarney Honey," Denis Tucker, Duty Manager with Daly's SuperValu, told the Killarney Advertiser.
"The pupils were provided with protective clothing and got up close to the bees. They were then brought to the O'Connor's family home honey lodge where they were shown how the honey gets from the hive to the jar and onto the supermarket shelf."

Jessie Buckley to perform live on RTE this Friday 22nd September

This Culture Night, Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh will present an hour-long live music and arts programme from Dún Lúiche in the heart of the Donegal Gaeltacht at 7pm on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player.
Actress and singer Jessie Buckley has been added to the list of stellar musicians who will perform with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra on the night. Jessie will perform a special rendition of a Sinéad O’Connor song in tribute to the late artist.
Jessie commented: “I am very honoured to return to Culture Night 2023 to remember Sinéad O Connor with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra. Sinéad was such a huge influence on so many women in Ireland and across the world, her courage, her mind, her politics and her intense beauty and soul. She was a warrior to humanity. I remember hearing her for the first time and feeling her uncompromising need to connect and affect. Recognising what couldn’t be said and speaking it out loud. I am so grateful for all her fire and all her love. It is such a privilege to return to Ireland for RTÉ Culture Night in Donegal to sing a song of gratitude for Sinéad and her family and friends.”
Other artists performing with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra include The Murder Capital, R&B singer and 2FM Rising star Aby Coulibaly and Irish-based Ukrainian musician Olesya Zdorovetska.

The revealing of the preferred route corridor for the construction of the new Killarney to Farranfore road has been delayed – again.
Four potential routes for the N22 Farranfore-Killarney project were identified and were put out to public consultation in May 2021. These have now been whittled down to just one.
It was previously promised that the preferred route would be published late last year.
This dragged on in to the Spring and there is still no sigh of the preferred route being revealed.
A recent Kerry County Council meeting a council official explained that there are further funding requirements to allow the council complete various reports and investigations required before the road can move to its next phase.
