The event was in aid of Kerry Cancer Support Group and sponsored by Killarney Royal and Hayfield Family Collection.

The charity has a large team that are devoted to maintaining a warm, welcoming environment while ensuring support for those affected by cancer and their families.

“We are absolutely delighted with the turnout on Friday in support of Kerry Cancer Support Group," event host and Killarney Royal Operations Manager, Roisin O’Sullivan, said.

"In total we raised €4,400 and we would like to thank those who supported the event and donated so generously. This is an extremely important service for those living in Kerry and we are delighted to sponsor this event, assist with their fundraising efforts and support the excellent work that they do.”

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.
