Double the fun as locals and visitors alike snap up Killarney Magazine
T
TWINS Laura and Sarah Murphy were the fitting choice to launch the new Killarney Magazine this week as the publication is proving a double success, appealing to both locals and visitors alike.
The team at Killarney Advertiser is delighted to present readers in Killarney and from across the globe with what is the town’s first premium tourist publication.
A riveting read, this glossy, free magazine showcases our town to dazzling effect and is a page-turningly good read, sharing as it does sought-after insider knowledge and hidden gems.
“We noticed that there was no premium visitor magazine that captured the uniqueness of the our beautiful town. It is very much of Killarney featuring local writers, photographers and designers. Feedback has been amazing since we published last week,” said Aidan Quirke, business development manager of Killarney Advertiser and Killarney Magazine. “We are planning for next season’s publication already.”
Killarney Magazine offers a wonderful trip back in time thanks to illuminating pieces that history buffs will enjoy (for instance, Breda Joy’s overview of the history of Muckross House).
But it is also something that will help you keep your finger on the pulse with insider tips and information on making the most of a visit to Killarney.
Leaf through the colourful pages to be wowed by or reminded of the attractions that have earned Killarney its enviable status as Ireland’s preeminent tourist destination.
We hope we will also tempt you to veer off the beaten track to make your experience of our town and it surrounds your very own.
An excellent resource for the traveller and a handy reference guide for local residents, Killarney Magazine emerged from a pool of local talent and it features leading writers from what is a world-renowned literary and cultural hotbed.
The magazine, designed by Damien Switzer, has been distributed throughout Killarney, including hotels, the tourist office and a host of visitor attractions. You can also check out its website at http://www.killarneymagazine.com

Ade Desbrow wins Killarney Camera Club final seasonal competition
Killarney Camera Club member Ade Desbrow has secured first place in the Unrestricted Category of the club’s final competition of the season.
His winning photograph, titled ‘Submerged Flowers’, took the top spot in the Open Print Competition.
The Open Print Competition serves as a special highlight of the club calendar, encouraging members to print their photos and bring them to life. Presenting an image as a physical print offers a completely different experience from viewing a digital file on a screen, allowing the detail, texture, and craftsmanship of the printed photograph to create a new appreciation of the work.
Shronedraugh songwriter Gersemi Witch is set to release her second single, titled ‘The Hawthorn and the Hearth’, on Friday, July 17.
Living in the shadow of the Paps of Anu, the local artist draws her musical inspiration directly from the Kerry landscape, regional folklore, and ancestral traditions. Her work blends contemporary songwriting with themes of local mythology, belonging, and connection to place.
The upcoming release, put out under her own label Gersemi Wearth Witch Records, is described as an atmospheric Irish neo-folk ballad. The track is inspired by the traditional symbolism of the hawthorn tree and the hearthfire, exploring how modern music can connect with ancient land and traditions.
The new single follows her previous release, ‘Beyond Knee-Bent Pews’, which is currently available to stream.
