Get ready to rewind to the 1980s and 1990s!

Raheen National School's Parents Association is throwing a special ’Revelles Reunion’ disco at the Killarney Avenue Hotel on Saturday, April 19.
Starting at 9pm and going late into the night, you can dance to all your favourite hits, disco classics, and even some slow songs for a bit of romance.
Whether you want to wear your old bell bottoms, a denim jacket, leather, or Lycra, or just come as you are, everyone is welcome! No fancy dress is required.
All the money raised will go towards upgrading the Raheen National School pitch and building a community walking track.
“Raheen National School is a small school with 33 students. Right now, our field is often unusable, so the goal is to improve the playing surface and add a walking track for everyone to enjoy,” said Principal Joan Mullane.
“Many volunteers are ready to help with the work, but they need to raise €35,000 by summer 2025 to get started If you're up for a fun night of dancing and helping a great local school, join them on Saturday, April 19.”
DJ ‘Botty’ O'Callaghan will be playing all the best tunes to keep you on the dance floor.
Tickets are available online at Eventbrite or grab them from Raheen National School Parents Association members, the Killarney Avenue Hotel, The Caragh Restaurant in Killarney, O'Donoghues Filling Station, Frankies in Barraduff, and O'Brien's Service Station in Glenflesk.
Tickets will also be sold at the door on the night. Please note, this event is for those over 21, and there will be a late-night bar.

Kerry TD Michael Cahill says he is pushing to ensure the Killarney Innovation Centre secures the funding it needs for its planned expansion.

Deputy Cahill raised the issue in a recent Parliamentary Question to Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Peter Burke. The centre has applied to the Smart Regions Enterprise Innovation Scheme under Enterprise Ireland to support future projects.
Minister Burke told Deputy Cahill that the centre’s application will receive “appropriate consideration” and confirmed that Enterprise Ireland will assist the organisation in shaping proposals that match the aims of the scheme.
Deputy Cahill said the support would give the Killarney Innovation Centre “a first run to the ball” in identifying suitable projects that can attract national funding. He added that the centre has received strong Government backing for more than 30 years.
The Minister also noted that three other Kerry projects are progressing under the same national scheme, including a €1 million allocation for the AI Navigator Programme at the RDI Hub in Killorglin, which is designed to help small businesses adapt to artificial intelligence.
