Published

on

KC Print, sister company to the Killarney Advertiser, based in Upper Lissivigeen, is one of Ireland's leading printing companies and prints the ‘Advertiser’ weekly, employing thirty people.

The Advertiser was put forward by KC Print in the ‘Newspaper & Freesheet Printer of the Year’ and is nominated for a second year in a row.

The Killarney Advertiser, now in its 51st year, is recognised as one of the premium free community news magazines in the country and has been recognised by judges for its design and print quality.  

The good news doesn’t stop there for the team, with ‘We Are Killarney’ tourism magazine, designed and edited by the Advertiser team and printed by KC Print, nominated in two categories.

The tourism magazine has fast become the go-to guide to Killarney for tourists with its head turning design and must- have guides to all things Killarney.

Finally, the KC Print team were also nominated for their work on the Newbridge Silver Catalogue in two categories. The team have worked with this client for many years producing its high-end catalogues.

The project also involved another Killarney company, Impact Print Ireland, led by David Long, who provided the silver foil for the cover.

“We are proud to be nominated across three categories this year. I am especially delighted for the Advertiser team led by Chris Davies and our lead designer Leszek Szeligowski. They bring real passion to both the Advertiser and We Are Killarney magazines, and it shows,” said Aidan Quirke, Sales Director, KC Print.

“While the Advertiser creates the content, our team of skilled technical staff in KC Print ensure we produce the highest quality print possible. There is a wide team from accounts to customer service that contribute to our success.  

It’s great to see innovation and quality being recognised nationally, and the work of Managing Director Cormac Casey and family over 50 years,” added Aidan.

KC Print is a leading printer in Ireland, servicing the education sector and marketing agencies, and printing several community news magazines. It also offers a wide range of general printing services including brochures, catalogues, and high-end magazines.

‘Pink Night’ was held in Kilcummin on January 10 in aid of Comfort for Chemo, bringing the entire community together for a very important cause.

The event, which was postponed from the previous week, had music from Rosie and Derry Healy and DJ Declan.

Pink Night has been running for over 20 years, and this marks the fourth year that Comfort for Chemo has been chosen as the beneficiary.

Speaking on the night, organiser Geraldine Pigott said the charity continues to resonate deeply with the community.

She said: “Cancer has touched so many families in one way or another, and Comfort for Chemo offers such practical support at a very difficult time,”

The event drew a strong turnout, and the organisers expressed gratitude to the many local businesses and individuals who donated prizes.

“The generosity we receive every year is incredible,” Geraldine added. “From sponsors to ticket sellers and everyone who comes through the door on the night, it really shows the strength of community spirit here.”

The Best Dressed awards on the night went to Noreen O’Neill & Mike Moloney.
