HeartBeat Killarney’s Annual General Meeting will take a different format this year after the group learned a more efficient way of doing things during the COVID-19 lockdowns.

When the pandemic hit HeartBeat had to make a lot of changes so it could meet health and safety conditions to allow the AGM to happen.

“On reflection some of the changes actually improved the way things were run, and this plus consultations with our trustees, brought us to this new way of doing things for the AGM,” said chairman Billy O’Sullivan.

Their next AGM will be held on October 5 at 8pm in the Plaza Hotel.

New requirements, including those attending the AGM, will receive agenda and accounts ahead of the meeting.

“They are expected to read all the various reports beforehand. This will avoid time perusing reports in depth and allow us to deal with matters arising from any report quickly and efficiently,” added Billy.

Applications for AGM attendance must be made to HeartBeat Killarney committee members before September 15.

Meanwhile, the organisation's monthly meetings and wellness sessions continue at the Parish Hall.

Guest speaker at the August 30 meeting will be Noreen Tobin who specialises Qi Gong Wellness - a system of body-posture and movement, breathing, and meditation which improves overall quality of life by enhancing mental and physical health, mobility, balance, memory focus and concentration, cardiovascular and respiratory health, immune system, stress, anxiety and sleep.

Killarney-based musician Shane Doolan will release his latest single, ‘SPACEMAN’, this Friday, December 19.

The new track is described as an atmospheric release exploring themes of ambition, isolation, and the desire to escape everyday limits. The single showcases Doolan’s evolving sound, combining emotional storytelling with cinematic production.
The release follows a significant year for the young artist. Earlier in 2024, Doolan headlined his first live show at The Anam Centre in Killarney. The event was a major local success, raising over €1,055 for Movember, the men’s health charity.
Doolan, who first gained local attention after his band won the Battle of the Bands at the Anam Centre, has cited influences such as Walking on Cars, Bon Iver, and Kodaline. Following his September debut, “The Ruins,” and his second single, “After The Bells,” he is currently working toward a debut EP set for release in January 2026.
‘SPACEMA’ will be available on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and all major streaming platforms from this Friday.
