St Brigid’s held their Transition Year Christmas Markets which brought colour, creativity and entrepreneurial flair to the school last Tuesday.

The hall was transformed into a festive marketplace as TY students showcased a wide range of products, modern, on-trend and carefully designed to appeal to their target audiences from 1st to 6th year.

The event was filled with Christmas cheer, complete with treats, photo opportunities and seasonal music.

Shane Enright from Bank of Ireland was the judge, he spent time visiting each stall, offering valuable advice and encouragement to the budding young entrepreneurs.

For Innovation, Creativity and Sustainability, Reel Moments was the winner. Lucky Loops had the best promotion and stall innovation while Charms & Comforts met the market’s needs.

The third Magic Street Parade, scheduled for Saturday, may not go ahead due to adverse weather conditions.

The organisers of the Christmas in Killarney festival are currently monitoring the weekend weather warnings.

A final decision on whether the parade will proceed will be made early on Saturday.

A Status Yellow rain warning has been issued for a number of counties, including Kerry, this Saturday with a possibility that it could be upgraded to a Status Orange.

Met Éireann has advised of the threat of spells of very heavy rain with an increased risk of floods which could lead to difficult travelling conditions and poor visibility.

As of 3.00pm on Friday afternoon, the plan is expected to go ahead as planned. However, the Christmas in Killarney Festival committee will continue to review the situation and will be guided by advice from Met Éireann and the local authority.

A definite decision will be confirmed Saturday morning on whether the parade will proceed.
