The Horgan family have expressed their gratitude to everyone who bought tickets for their raffle in aid of My Canine Companion. Shane and Deirdre organised the raffle when the charity provided them with Bosco, an autism service dog who has become great friends with their son Fionn, who is autistic, and Fionn’s older brother Brian.

“We would like to thank all the businesses/organisations who donated prizes for the raffle,” Shane said. “We are extremely grateful for the great support that we have received from the local community. We live in a beautiful part of the world but it’s the people of Killarney’s generosity and kindness that make this town so special. Bosco has made a big impact in our lives and the people of Killarney have also been very curious about Bosco.

“As a result of the article in the Killarney Advertiser, we were nominated to receive the the proceeds of the No Name Disco that was held at the end of May. We would like to thank Amanda Fleming who recently presented us with the cheque.

“We would also like to thank Pat Sheehan and Niall Dennehy who climbed the three highest peaks in England, Scotland and Wales in aid of My Canine Companion (see article below).

Ballyspillane Community and Family Resource Centre is putting on a series of meetings and talks to offer older members of the community a chance to meet people from organisations that will enhance their lives.

The first talk will take place on October 3 at the Ballyspillane Community Resource Centre and will continue thereafter on a regular basis.

Thomas Doyle from SpecSavers will give the first talk and other groups like the Alzheimer Society of Ireland, Alone, Family Carers Ireland, the Health and Safety Executive, Heartbeat Killarney, Be Active Be Well and the Parkinson’s Association of Ireland will join at future dates.

“The Ageless road show is a combination of organisations to help older people in the community. The groups that have committed to attend are the on alternative months. There will a guest speaker each month,”

It is hard to believe that it is four years since the Triton Showers-backed Motorsport Ireland National Rally Championship last visited Clare.

Between the pandemic and the new event rotation system, the last time the Liam Cleary Autoworld Clare Rally ran was in September 2019.

But it has been well worth the wait as organisers Clare Motor Club have attracted a stellar entry that has both strength and depth.

The Triton Showers National Rally Championship enters the home straight this weekend and all of the title protagonists will be in Ennis for the penultimate round of the eight-round championship.

Leading the fray after six rounds are defending champions, Josh Moffett and Keith Moriarty.

The Hyundai i20 Rally2 crew have a 20-point advantage over Callum Devine and Noel O’Sullivan from Muckross.

However, the Derry/Kerry crew has won the last two rounds in Sligo and Meath and when dropped scores come into play, they have started one less round than Moffett and Moriarty which suggests, mathematically, the advantage is maybe with the Volkswagen Polo Gti crew.

But anything can happen in rallying and it looks certain that the championship will go to the wire at the Fastnet Rally in late October.
