Fossa Sustainability Fair draws crowds
The second annual Fossa Community Sustainability Fair took place last Sunday at Fossa Community Hall. Sixteen local exhibitors participated, covering topics such as food, nature, energy, wildlife conservation, and beekeeping.
Organisers reported a warm and friendly atmosphere, with attendees of all ages learning about local sustainability efforts.
“I would like to thank our Exhibitors who provided a wealth of information on the day,” said Paul O’Raw, Chairman of Fossa Climate Action Group. “We filled the hall again this year with some new organisations and small business owners.”
“This is our second year of the community sustainability fair,” said Mary Fitzgerald of the climate action group, “We made this year different without losing the core principles of the eco fair.”
“It is always humbling to see what can be done at a community level and the positivity such an event can bring especially when the global news is full of doom and gloom,” said Diarmaid Griffin, PRO. “If we continue to think globally and act locally, the future looks bright.”
The event raised €331.40 in public donations, which will be used to fund future public events in 2025.
Exhibitors included Kerry Sustainable Energy Co-operative Society, The Dingle Hub, The Nature Hub, Pro Solar, Killarney Credit Union, Sarah O'Brien, Killarney Mountain Meitheal, KWD Recycling, Killarney National Park Education Centre, Local Roots, Verdance, Kerry County Council, Beaufort Beekeepers, Wild Weeds, Tralee Bay Wetlands, and Little Black Hill Farm.
First day for Lissivigeen Junior Infants
Excitement filled the air in Lissivigeen National School on Thursday as more than 30 Junior Infants marked their very first day of school.
The new pupils settled into their classrooms, taking their first big steps in primary education under the guidance of Principal Ellen Cagney, teachers Kristine Sheahan and Bríd Ryan, and SNA Marie Carroll-O’Sullivan. The children spent their morning making new friends, exploring their classrooms, and getting used to school routine during a memorable milestone for the school community.
