A TV crew was in town for two days this week to capture their efforts during their weekly clean-up operation following an invitation by the Killarney Municipal District office.

Nationwide presenter Marian Malone interviewed many of the local volunteers including former town mayor Michael Gleeson who is set to be named as the new chairman of the Killarney Tidy Towns committee.

National Parks and Wildlife Service officials Eamon Meskell and Niall Ó Donnchú will also feature on the programme that will include interviews with local jarveys and boatmen.

Cameraman Mat Kelly filmed the tidy towns volunteers for on the Nationwide special which will air on Tuesday July 17.

The programme will also showcase Killarney to potential visitors including the shots of the National Park and the famous lakes.

“This will air at peak time and at a time of the year when people are thinking about what to do and where they should go,” said Tidy Towns stalwart Johnny Maguire.

Killarney’s Tidy Town campaign continues each Monday.

Volunteers should meet at the SouthDoc Car park beside SuperValu at 6pm on Monday July 10.
