PURPLE is all the rage in Killarney and that's official. Last week it was confirmed that Killarney has retained its Purple Flag status, so the Purple Flag Working Group in conjunction with Kerry County Council and the Killarney Chamber of Tourism & Commerce have organised a fun celebration to take place in the town centre today.

All are welcome to a family fun afternoon and celebration on Main Street, from 3pm to 6pm.

The Sam Maguire Cup and a number of the star players that won the precious silverware for Kerry this year will make a special appearance at the official Kerry GAA Store at Killarney Outlet Centre this Saturday, December 6.

The big event is to mark the official launch of the stylish new Kerry home jersey which the All-Ireland champions will wear in action over the coming season.
Supporters of all ages are invited to visit the store from 2.00pm to 5.00pm to take their photographs with Sam and the players and to get an up close view of the in-demand new jersey.
The updated design honours the county’s proud footballing tradition while incorporating modern, high-performance materials.
“Having Sam Maguire and the players in-store for the launch makes this an occasion not to be missed,” said Luke Quinn, manager of the Kerry GAA Store.
The Radio Kerry outdoor broadcast unit will be on site and exclusive interviews will be conducted with some of the players who are big favourites with fans.
Supporters are encouraged to arrive early as a very large turnout is expected. Exclusive event-day prizes will also be available in-store on the day.
Killarney Outlet Centre manager, Paul Sherry, said it promises to be a really exciting afternoon and they are really looking forward to welcoming the All-Ireland champions and the most sought after trophy in the country.
“The atmosphere will be electric and we are expecting a bumper crowd to make it even more special,” he said.

Kerry TD Pa Daly has welcomed confirmation from the HSE that the new Minor Injuries Unit for Killarney will open early next year.

The facility, which will be located at St Columbanus Home, is expected to ease pressure on University Hospital Kerry by treating non-emergency cases locally.
Deputy Daly said the development is “positive news for patients and families” and will help reduce overcrowding in the Emergency Department.
He added that while the Killarney unit is an important step, there is now a strong case for a similar service in North Kerry. He highlighted that 60% of A&E attendances at UHK come from West Kerry, North Kerry and Castleisland, and said long travel distances remain an issue for many patients.
Deputy Daly also pointed to ongoing problems with out-of-hours GP cover in the Listowel area and said he will raise the need for an additional unit directly with the HSE and the Minister for Health.
