EXCITEMENT is building in anticipation of the first-ever Give it a Go event in Killarney. Hidden Hearing has announced it would sponsor the event, which takes place in June. Organised by Active Retirement Ireland and The Gleneagle Hotel, Give it a Go takes place from June 13 to 17. It celebrates ageing and the freedom and opportunities retirement can offer.
Participants will have the chance to try out a huge range of activities including motorcycling, surfing, fishing, yoga and golf. And after a lengthy day of action and adventure, there will be live entertainment every evening, including performances by Brendan Shine, Red Hurley, The Ronan Collins Showband Show and HIYA Entertainment. Give it a Go is about experiencing new things, finding new hobbies and interests, meeting up with friends old and new, laughing, dancing and have fun!
“We’re delighted to sponsor the first ever Give It A Go event in Killarney this summer,” said Dolores Madden, marketing director, Hidden Hearing.
“We encourage everyone to get out and ‘Give It A Go’, no matter what. Hearing loss can affect every aspect of a person’s life, what things aren't you doing, enjoying or experiencing because a person can't hear to their full potential. Give It A Go celebrates life, as does Hidden Hearing, and that’s why we are proud to sponsor such a celebration.”
Hidden Hearing has over 25 years of experience helping people with hearing loss in Ireland. With over 75 stores nationwide including Scott Street Killarney, Tralee and Kenmare, it screens over 40,000 people annually. Hidden Hearing offer free, no obligation hearing tests at all of their clinics.

The exhibition, which runs from March 10 to March 31, explores the foundational years of the political party within the county between 1926 and 1933.

The exhibition details how the party established itself in a county where Civil War divisions were particularly deep-seated. It covers the transition of local figures from revolutionary activities to parliamentary politics and the intense election battles of the late 1920s. Visitors will be able to view documents and archives that illustrate how the party built its organisation across South Kerry in its first decade.

As part of the event, local historian and author Dr. Owen O’Shea will give a public lecture at the library on Thursday, March 26, at 7:00 p.m. His talk will focus on the foundation of the party and the “bullets to ballots” transition in Kerry politics. The exhibition is free to attend and will be open during the library’s scheduled operating hours throughout the month of March.
The project is the result of extensive research funded by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media. The grant was awarded under the Commemorations Bursary Scheme for 2025-2026 and managed by the Royal Irish Academy. This scheme supports local research that helps the public better understand the political and social evolution of Ireland following the Civil War.
