In a ground-breaking new deal, local business Four Star Pizza have come on board as sponsors of the Killarney Advertiser sports section. The sponsorship arrangement will see the popular pizza restaurant teaming up with our sports department to provide our readers with regular prizes via trivia questions and other fun giveaways.

Announcing the partnership, Killarney Advertiser Business Development Manager Chris Davies praised the work being done by the magazine’s sports department and also thanked Four Star owner Seánie Culloty for agreeing to the deal.

“Significant disruption to sports the past year has presented many challenges for journalists, particularly those who focus on delivering local action,” Chris said. “Despite the lack of local action, we believe the Killarney Advertiser continues to be an enjoyable weekly read for sports enthusiasts in the town. From content to design, our Sports Editor Adam Moynihan is always finding creative ways to engage with our readers and this latest partnership is a testament to the work being done by him and the rest of the sports team.

“We are delighted to partner with Four Star Pizza Killarney for the coming year. Seánie Culloty is well-known for his generosity and support for sport in the community and so we are obviously proud to have Four Star aligned with our sports section going forward.

“Our readers can also look forward to Adam’s weekly sports trivia on our social platforms where we will be giving away lots of free pizza!”

Seánie Culloty said he was excited to get the new project up and running.

“We are delighted to sponsor the Killarney Advertiser’s sports section, which is a very popular read here in town. We hope to have a bit of fun with it and plan to run plenty of pizza giveaways for Killarney Advertiser readers throughout the year.”

Killarney Advertiser Sports Editor Adam Moynihan also welcomed the move and expressed his gratitude to Four Star for their support during these uncertain times.

“The pandemic has made things a bit more challenging for everybody and the print media is no exception, so to be able to bring in a new sponsor at this time is a real bonus,” Adam said. “I know Seánie well from the GAA scene – he’s a great man for the sports and, of course, the Culloty name is synonymous with sporting excellence here in Killarney. It’s fantastic to have Four Star on board as a sponsor and I’m looking forward to working with them to create some enjoyable competitions throughout the year.”

Contactless payments launched on Local Link services

Published

Passengers using TFI Local Link Kerry services in Killarney and across the county can now pay for their journeys using contactless card payments.

The National Transport Authority (NTA) confirmed the rollout this week, allowing commuters to simply tap their debit card, credit card, or mobile devices, such as Apple Pay and Google Pa, when boarding.

The move is designed to offer more convenience for those using high-frequency rural and regional routes.

In Killarney, the new payment option will be available on the TFI Anseo town services, which have seen a significant increase in passenger numbers since their introduction.

The contactless system is currently available for single journey fares, while those using daily or weekly passes can continue to use the Leap website or the TFI Leap Top Up App.
Alan O’Connell, General Manager of TFI Local Link Kerry, welcomed the modernisation of the fleet.

“The introduction of contactless payments is another welcome step forward for public transport in Kerry,” he said. “It complements other major projects in the county, including the expansion of TFI Local Link services and the delivery of TFI Anseo in Killarney, which is proving to be another great initiative.”

While the new technology offers a modern alternative, traditional payment methods are not being phased out. Cash payments, TFI Leap cards, and Free Travel Cards all remains fully valid across the network.

How will our Kerry TDs vote tomorrow?

Published

By

Tomorrow, Sinn Féin will be tabling a motion of no confidence against the Government after the protests that took place nationwide during the week.

Earlier today we asked our readers how would they vote in a no confidence motion against the Government?

Most of our readers said they would vote no confidence, while some said, yes they do have confidence in the Government.

One reader said: “Vote confidence. The only proper leadership over the last few days came from government. Courage came when needed despite how unpopular it looked in the moment. By contrast, opposition politicians wanted the country to burn to suit themselves”.

Another reader stated: “No confidence. Shambolic and heavy handed handling of protests this past week”.

However, some people didn’t have any confidence in either side with a reader saying: “No confidence in the no confidence! Different wings of the same bird! We need a complete overhaul of the political system”.

We asked the question to our 5 Kerry TDs before lunch-time today, asking them what their vote will be tomorrow.

We received one reply from Sinn Féin’s Kerry TD Pa Daly.

He will be voting no confidence in the Government tomorrow along with his party.

Other media outlets are reporting that Independent TD Danny Healy-Rae is undecided at the moment.
