KILLARNEY AUTOS and the Killarney Outlet Centre have joined forces to assist Killarney Celtic AFC to raise funds. Tickets are now on sale at Killarney Outlet Centre for this year’s FAI National Club Draw which helps support local football clubs with their ongoing fundraising efforts.

There are four brand-new-design Ford Fiestas to be won, an example of which is on display in The Killarney Outlet Centre kindly provided by Killarney Autos, Ford Ireland’s main dealership in Killarney. “Sales from the tickets go to help in the running of our underage and Football For All programmes at Killarney Celtic,” said Mike Lyne, director of football. “Whilst the four Ford Fiestas are the number one prize there are also a multitude of alternative prizes including tickets to this year’s Champions League Final, Premiership Weekend in London, a whole year’s electricity costs amongst hundreds of other fabulous prizes.”

Killarney Celtic is one of the most progressive football clubs in Kerry with over 600 playing members and an award-winning Football For All group. The club’s senior team made it all the way to the FAI Junior Cup semi final earlier this year losing out to the eventual tournament champions Sheriff YC.

The draw takes place on November 22. Tickets are available from Killarney Outlet Centre and club members.

School Dayz

Transition Year students at Killarney Community College spent last Tuesday learning the skills to become baristas.

They completed a full-day training course and are now qualified to make coffee, which could make them very employable in local cafes and restaurants this summer.
Their teachers, who are described as the school’s “resident coffee experts,” were impressed with the students’ hard work and enjoyed the lattes, cappuccinos, and Americanos the students made throughout the day.
In addition to their barista training, the TY students also took a trip to Mallow. There, they learned about the rules of the road, practiced the driver theory test, and many got behind the wheel of a car for the first time. They also learned about the dangers of speeding and driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs.

Two of Killarney’s rising musical talents, Amano and Lillie Foley, are set to perform their first ever joint headline concert at the ANAM Cultural Centre.

Singer-songwriter and sean nós singer Amano will bring her ‘Mythilligocial Meitheal Tour’ home for a special live performance of both her contemporary and traditional music.

Joining her on the night is local rising star Lillie Foley, making it a special event to celebrate two young Killarney songwriters making their mark on the Irish music scene. The event is supported by Kerry County Council Arts Office.

Amano, described by Hot Press in 2024 as an “idiosyncratic talent” is comfortable performing in both English and Irish, draws influences from alt-folk, R&B, and traditional sean-nós singing.

Her project THREAD was nominated for Irish language Album and Song of the year at the Gradaim Nós in 2024.

Her recent singles, ‘Burn’ and ‘The Birthing House’, have received airplay on RTÉ Radio 1, Radio Kerry, and Raidió na Life.

Lillie Foley, a 22-year-old singer who recently graduated from the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance with a BA in Voice, has released two debut singles in 2025, ‘Someday’ and ‘That’s Life’, which blend pop, soul, and folk genres.

The event is supported by Kerry County Council Arts Office.

The concert will take place on May 23, at the ANAM Cultural Centre in Killarney, starting at 7:00pm. Tickets are available from €15 plus a booking fee on Ticketpass.org.
