SCENIC Sneem formed the perfect backdrop to the nuptials of Dinah McCarthy and Liam O’Brien.

Killarney native Dinah wed Liam, who is from Birmingham, in a ceremony in Parknasilla Hotel and Spa led by registrar Mary O’Shea.

Special guests on the big day included the bride’s son Dimitris McCarthy, her parents Helen and Christy McCarthy, and the groom’s mother and stepfather Ann and Malcolm Crump.

The couple, who met three years ago, got engaged last year.

The witnesses at the wedding ceremony were the bride’s brother Adrian McCarthy and Michelle O’Halloran, the groom’s sister. The couple paid tribute to Marie McDonnell and the team Parknasilla as well as their photographer Sally MacMonagle. “Her informal relaxed approach worked a treat, especially when taking pictures of the children. She did a fantastic job!” said Liam.

“It was wonderful to share the day with our special friends and family that travelled from as far as Devon in the UK to share this wonderful occasion with us.”
The couple enjoyed a “pre-honeymoon” in Borneo. “We stayed on a boathouse and travelled though the national park to search for orangutans, then went onto other areas in Indonesia, including Bali and the Gili Islands, and finished in Lombok,” said the groom.

Dinah is a speech and language therapist and Liam is a teacher. They are currently living in Milton Keynes.

Students from St Brendan’s College have given €600 to Kerry Hospice.

The money was raised from their book, ‘Futures from the Past’ which was published in April 2024.
Teacher Mary Denise Lyons and students Divo Lucic Kovacevii, Michéal McElligott, and Jaroslav Stetsenko handed over the funds to Cathal Walshe of Kerry Hospice.
‘Futures from the Past’ is a book written by current and retired writers, as well as students from St Brendan’s College.
This donation is the second from the book, with €800 donated last year and €600 this year.
The book was created to allow students to use their imaginations to explore the past and think about the future. It involved students from Poetry Ireland’s Writers-In-Schools Programme and adult learners from Kerry Education & Training Board’s Community Education Creative Writing group.
The book was launched at St Brendan’s College in April last year and was made possible with support from Poetry Ireland and the Arts Office of Kerry County Council.

School Dayz

Transition Year students at Killarney Community College spent last Tuesday learning the skills to become baristas.

They completed a full-day training course and are now qualified to make coffee, which could make them very employable in local cafes and restaurants this summer.
Their teachers, who are described as the school’s “resident coffee experts,” were impressed with the students’ hard work and enjoyed the lattes, cappuccinos, and Americanos the students made throughout the day.
In addition to their barista training, the TY students also took a trip to Mallow. There, they learned about the rules of the road, practiced the driver theory test, and many got behind the wheel of a car for the first time. They also learned about the dangers of speeding and driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs.
