Former St Brigid’s Leaving Certificate Applied student Kalin Paterson has received the Feargal Quinn Award.

The LCANA 'Feargal Quinn Awards' are presented each year to students who obtain the top credits in the Leaving Certificate Applied Examination of that year.

The top performing students are notified by the State Examinations Commission. The student’s final credit total is of course based on their performance in the Leaving Certificate Applied Examination over the two years.

"Kalin is a very diligent, determined and hardworking girl," LCA Co-ordinator, Peggy Dowling, said.

"Her commitment to the LCA programme was astonishing. She is self-motivated, shows excellent initiative and she completed all her LCA tasks to the highest standard. She completed a course in barbering in 2020 whilst on her LCA Work Experience in Session 2. She also received a certificate for training in First Aid as part of her LCA Practical Achievement Task. She was a worthy winner of the LCA 'Feargal Quinn Award’."

As 2026 begins, the Killarney Advertiser would like to wish all our readers a very happy new year and to remind the community that this newspaper belongs to you.

Founded in 1973 by the late Danny Casey and now published by his son Cormac, the Killarney Advertiser has always been a community newspaper in the truest sense. For more than five decades it has told the story of Killarney through the voices, events and achievements of the people who live and work here.
The paper is keen to hear from community organisations, schools, sports clubs, charities and voluntary groups, as well as from individuals with news to share. Fundraisers, events, launches, awards, milestone birthdays and wedding anniversaries all have a place in these pages.
Each week starts with a blank page, shaped by what matters locally. The message is simple: if it matters to the community, it matters to the Killarney Advertiser.
News and photos can be sent to sean@killarneyadvertiser.ie or news@killarneyadvertiser.ie. You tell us, and we will tell the wider community.
