Preliminary details of the Rás Mumhan have been announced by Cycling Munster.

The four-day international cycle race will, once again, be based at the Riverisland Hotel in Castleisland and will run from Good Friday until Easter Monday.

The final route has not yet been revealed but it is expected to follow a similar path to the 2022 edition.

Last year, due to organisational difficulties, the Rás Mumhan committee asked local clubs to take charge of each day of the race.

Killarney Cycling Club hosted the Easter Saturday leg of the race, including managing the stage start in the town centre, the Category One mountain climb at Bealach Oisin Pass and the stage finish in Sneem.

“We are looking forward to seeing everyone at Easter and we wish all the riders the best of luck in their preparations for the event. Further details to follow as they are confirmed,” said Race Secretary Sinéad Moriarty.

Things are set to get spooky in Killarney this Halloween as the Killarney Outlet Centre hosts its annual Halloween Horror Spooktacular on Sunday, October 26, from 2pm to 6pm.

Ghosts, ghouls, witches, and monsters will take over the centre for an afternoon of frightful fun, with the highlight being the fancy dress parade. Every child who takes part will receive a goody bag, and there are great prizes up for grabs.
Prizes will be awarded for Best Dressed Boy and Best Dressed Girl, each receiving a Kerry GAA gift box including a signed 2025 goalkeeper’s jersey, sponsored by the Kerry GAA Store. The Best Dressed Family will win a Christmas in Killarney family visit to Santa 2025 and lunch for the whole family, sponsored by O’Brien’s Irish Sandwich Café.
The afternoon will also include free magic shows at 2.30pm and 4.30pm, free face painting, balloon modelling, and a kids’ mini disco.
Centre Manager Paul Sherry said the event is one of the highlights of the year for families in the town. “We’re delighted to bring back our annual Halloween celebration — it’s a great day out for families, with fantastic prizes, entertainment and plenty of fun,” he said.
