One lucky punter will be the new owner of a Killarney house worth €350,000 as the draw is due to take place today (Saturday).

Ardfert Community Centre have been promoting its ‘Win A House In Killarney’ raffle since last July to raise funds to build a new community centre in the North Kerry village.

COVID-19 restrictions prevented the draw going ahead on its original date of March 17 but now as the 5k limit has been lifted, the organising committee has confirmed that the draw will take place tomorrow (Saturday).

Entrants can watch the draw live from 1pm via the 'Win A House In Killarney' Facebook page.

​​​​​​​“Thanks again to everyone who purchased a ticket and, more importantly, best of luck to everyone,” said a committee statement. “We are looking forward to finding out who will win the house this May Bank Holiday weekend.”

Two young local girls showed great business initiative on Saturday ahead of the Kerry v Donegal match at Fitzgerald Stadium.

Erin McSweeney and Jessie Doolin set up a sweet stall outside a house on Lewis Road, catching the thousands of football fans walking towards the grounds.

The enterprising pair did a busy trade selling soft drinks, sweets, and chocolates to the passing crowds before throw-in.

Their match-day venture also caught the attention of the national sports media, with a photograph of the girls at their stall captured by Sportsfile photographer Stephen McCarthy ahead of the game.

Noel O’Neill has claimed first place in the Unrestricted category of the latest Killarney Camera Club competition, which focused on the theme of the ‘Kerry Landscape’.

His winning photograph, titled ‘Conor Pass Lake and the Three Sisters’, features a detailed study of Mullaghveal located beneath the Conor Pass.

The image captures the wide sweep of the valley, utilizing an elevated viewpoint that allows the glacial landscape to unfold toward the Atlantic horizon. The composition highlights the quiet lakes in the foreground against the dark, rocky slopes of the valley, with the distant outline of the Three Sisters adding further depth and scale to the scene.

The judges praised the photograph as an outstanding example of landscape work, noting its effective balance of composition, light, and perspective to capture the vastness of the West Kerry terrain.
