One shocked Killarney resident was left upset this week to discover a couch dumped in a graveyard when visiting loved ones graves.

Christina Boland sent in the photo of a couch left blatantly in front of graves in Aghadoe Graveyard said that "it's a sad world when people have no respect for the dead".

"This is so upsetting. We go to visit the grave to get peace of mind and accept that we have lost our beautiful loved ones and then you have people who think it's OK to dump household rubbish and couches and letting dogs litter all over the place without any thought for the family visiting their loved ones. I think it is time for CCTV to be installed before it becomes a free dumping area."

The annual Killarney Regatta Dance took place on September 25 as rowers, families and supporters came together to celebrate their successful year.

The racing was cancelled in September due to bad weather.

The Killarney Regatta is one of Ireland’s oldest rowing events, having first begun in 1788.

The dance took place at the Killarney Oaks Hotel where there was a lot of excitement and fun. Six rowing clubs, Fossa, Workman’s, St Brendan’s, Commercials, Flesk Valley, and Muckross, came together to celebrate the community and its shared history.

Amelia Counihan was crowned as the Regatta Queen.

The Queen represents the spirit pride and grace of the rowing community and has been a tradition in the club for generations.

Workman’s Rowing Club congratulated Amelia and described her as a woman who embodies everything that their tradition stands for.

The club said: “Queen is more than a title — it is a celebration of history, community, and the spirit of Killarney rowing.”
