The Easter Bunny is bouncing its way to town to host the biggest, the best and the most eggs-citing Easter party of them all at Killarney Outlet Centre this Sunday afternoon.

All the big plans have been made and everyone is guaranteed a great time at what promises to be a very lively afternoon with a host of super activities lined up from 2pm to 5pm.

The cuddly Easter Bunny will be hopping around between 2pm and 4pm, meeting and greeting the children – and the young at heart – and happily posing for souvenir selfies and snapshots.

Visitors are invited to join in the free party which will include a super magic show that will amaze and fascinate, brilliant balloon modelling, fabulous face painting ideas for superheroes and princesses and a fun children’s disco.

The more creative Easter revellers can try their hand at a candle making workshop, with expert guidance on how to make your own personalised candle and, for the more energetic, there will be bouncy castle fun and games all afternoon, courtesy of A Time to Party.

“It’s going to be a fantastic day with some great surprises and we look forward to meeting everybody,” said centre manager, Paul Sherry.

“While the children are having great fun, the adults can enjoy some shopping or have a cuppa and a chat knowing that the boys and girls are very close by and being well entertained,” he added.

A great weekend of shopping and entertainment is lined up with the Outlet Centre doors opening from 10am to 6pm on both Good Friday and Easter Saturday and from 12 noon to 6pm on Easter Sunday and Monday.

The long-awaited development of Fitzgerald Stadium is set to take a major step forward, with an announcement on further funding expected imminently, according to Kerry Fianna Fáil TD Michael Cahill.

Deputy Cahill said the project must not be allowed to stall, urging that momentum be maintained as it moves into its next phase.
“The proposed development of Fitzgerald Stadium in Killarney needs to be moved on now and not allowed to fall behind in its planned progression,” he stated, adding that he is confident of a positive funding decision soon.
Cahill has raised the Fitzgerald Stadium Development Plan in Dáil Éireann with several senior government figures, including An Taoiseach Micheál Martin and the Minister for Justice, Jim O’Callaghan.
“They are well versed in the detail of it, and I feel that we are going to get a positive announcement shortly on further funding for this crucial project for Kerry,” he said.
The proposed upgrades to the iconic stadium are seen as a key development not only for Killarney, but for the entire county. The venue would be able to host major sporting events and large-scale entertainment such as concerts featuring world-renowned performers.
“Kerry as a whole will benefit from having such a facility in Killarney,” said Cahill. “Hospitality providers of all hues and in all parts of Kerry will gain additional business when the Fitzgerald Stadium Development is completed.”
He also praised the application submitted by the Kerry County Board, calling it “fantastic” and deserving of support. “This will be a massive boost for Killarney and the entire county, will significantly increase footfall and will be great for the local economy. I believe that Fitzgerald Stadium will secure major funding under the IIP scheme in the very near future,” he said.

Predictions made by elected members of the Killarney Municipal District (KMD) regarding the Fossa roadworks have come to fruition this week.

A video has surfaced showing a local farmer driving a tractor with a hay turner encountering a French-registered camper van in the village.
The footage shows very little space for the two vehicles to pass each other.
Concerns have been raised that if a camper van, which is similar in size to an ambulance, struggled to pass, it could create significant issues for emergency vehicles needing to use the road.
The ongoing major roadworks in Fossa were previously the subject of heated discussion at a Killarney Municipal District Council meeting.
At that time, councillors were warned about potential gridlock and traffic problems due to the narrowed road width. It was highlighted that with the road being just six metres wide and large vehicles measuring up to 3.5 metres, encounters could lead to “complete gridlock and traffic mayhem.”
Despite these warnings, council officials had stated that the construction work was too far advanced to make changes. The recent video validates the earlier concerns raised by elected members.
