Students from the Educational Training Board’s Ecology course are cleaning the National Park bit by bit.

On Wednesday this week the group of students conducted a litter pick at Muckross House and Gardens. On Tuesday, (tomorrow), the group will move to Knockreer Demesne for another litter pick.

The students are all enrolled in the ETB’s first Ecology course which started in September 2021 and will continue until June this year.

“The aim is to make the area safer and more hospitable for the animals living there and to restore and improve habitats and biodiversity,” said course leader Ed Carty. “Every discarded item that is removed from the environment will be recycled. That means there is one less item for birds and animals to swallow.”

Tuesday’s Litter Pick will take place between 10am and 3pm.

The annual Killarney Regatta Dance took place on September 25 as rowers, families and supporters came together to celebrate their successful year.

The racing was cancelled in September due to bad weather.

The Killarney Regatta is one of Ireland’s oldest rowing events, having first begun in 1788.

The dance took place at the Killarney Oaks Hotel where there was a lot of excitement and fun. Six rowing clubs, Fossa, Workman’s, St Brendan’s, Commercials, Flesk Valley, and Muckross, came together to celebrate the community and its shared history.

Amelia Counihan was crowned as the Regatta Queen.

The Queen represents the spirit pride and grace of the rowing community and has been a tradition in the club for generations.

Workman’s Rowing Club congratulated Amelia and described her as a woman who embodies everything that their tradition stands for.

The club said: “Queen is more than a title — it is a celebration of history, community, and the spirit of Killarney rowing.”
