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.

Scairt an Dúchais…Call of the wild:




Fine art photographic artist Micheál O Sullivan launched his sole landscape photographic exhibition in Killarney House this week.

In this exhibition Scairt an Dúchais, which is part of the Wander Wild Festival, Killarney, (April 17-12) Micheál presents a curated selection of his archival work alongside previously unseen photographic images.



Micheál does not merely document the landscape; he interprets it, using light, shadow, and classic composition to transform his natural environment into emotive works of art.
His Internationally recognised photographic work is driven by a deep-seated passion for the craft of photography and a lifelong connection to Killarney and beautiful Irish landscapes.
