Here at the Killarney Advertiser we want everyone to have an extra special Christmas - so what's better than a MEGA giveaway!

We have teamed up with Daly's SuperValu and lots of local shops to offer our loyal readers a €1,000 shopping voucher, €500 cash AND lots of other spot prizes.

It's all part of our #BigXmasGiveaway as our way of supporting local businesses in the run up to Christmas.

All you have to do is shop and spend at least €10 in any participating store to receive a voucher. You must collect all four of our coloured vouchers; red, blue, green and purple - and then send them into the Killarney Advertiser office on High Street to be entered into the 'Big Christmas Giveaway Draw'.

“Since 1973 the Killarney Advertiser has been supporting local and now more than ever we all need to shop local, eat local and get behind our community this Christmas," Aidan Quirke, General Manager of the Killarney Advertiser, said. "A big thank you to Daly’s SuperValu and all our local businesses that have put up prizes for the draw on Monday, December 21. Our 'Shop Local' campaign in conjunction with Daly’s SuperValu is a much needed boost to our local businesses. Along with great prizes for readers, it’s a great time to support your local business community and be in with chance to have an extra special Christmas.”

The support local Christmas Campaign kicks off next Friday, November 27, explained Chris Davies, Business Development Manager.

"Local businesses still have a few days to register their business and receive vouchers for their customers."

Kerry Community Youth Service (KCYS) was pleased to welcome Minister Niall Collins to its Youth Diversion Project in Kilarney last week.

The visit gave the Minister an opportunity to meet staff and hear directly about the work of the Kerry Youth Diversion Project, including early intervention, family support, court accompaniment and wider youth justice practice across the county.
KCYS supports young people across a broad continuum of services in Kerry, from preventative and developmental youth work through to highly targeted interventions for young people and families facing significant challenge and complexity. The Youth Diversion Project forms an important part of that wider continuum of support.
Speaking following the visit, Seamus Whitty, CEO of KCYS, said:
“We were delighted to welcome Minister Collins to Kerry and to have the opportunity to give him a sense of the breadth and depth of the work being carried by the Youth Diversion Project here.
The Youth Diversion Project in Kerry is a strong and well-developed intervention, grounded in practice, informed by evidence, and marked by innovation in how it supports young people and families. It is part of a broader continuum of supports provided by KCYS, and it depends on strong collaboration across teams, services and community partners to make a real difference in people’s lives.
It is also important to acknowledge the Department’s continued commitment to youth justice. The policy direction in this area has been a progressive one, and that has created space for work of this kind to develop and respond to need in a meaningful way.”
The visit highlighted the scale and complexity of the work being carried by the KCYS team, and the importance of sustained investment in youth work responses for young people and families.
