Ballygarry Estate Hotel and Spa in Tralee is the first Irish hotel to have a Tesla Supercharging Station on site.

After a collaboration with the world leaders in Electric Vehicles (EV’s), the management agreed a 10 year deal.

The superchargers are the world’s fastest electric vehicle charging available, of which there are only five in Ireland. They can charge an EV to full battery in 45 minutes in comparison to a domestic charging facility which can take up to 12 hours.

“This partnership aligns perfectly with our values around sustainability and our shift towards Ballygarry Estate," Thys Vogels, Hotel Manager, said.

"We are delighted to partner with Tesla and be a market leader with regard to EV charging. There is a quantum shift to EV’s and we are in the process of changing one full car park over to this. Tesla drivers align demographically with what Ballygarry has to offer. In addition to this we are already seeing the benefits with guests dining whilst charging as this new station which saw EV owners park their car and grab a quick bite of lunch before embarking on their next journey.”

This Culture Night, Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh will present an hour-long live music and arts programme from Dún Lúiche in the heart of the Donegal Gaeltacht at 7pm on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player.  

Actress and singer Jessie Buckley has been added to the list of stellar musicians who will perform with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra on the night. Jessie will perform a special rendition of a Sinéad O’Connor song in tribute to the late artist. 

Jessie commented: “I am very honoured to return to Culture Night 2023 to remember Sinéad O Connor with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra. Sinéad was such a huge influence on so many women in Ireland and across the world, her courage, her mind, her politics and her intense beauty and soul. She was a warrior to humanity. I remember hearing her for the first time and feeling her uncompromising need to connect and affect. Recognising what couldn’t be said and speaking it out loud. I am so grateful for all her fire and all her love. It is such a privilege to return to Ireland for RTÉ Culture Night in Donegal to sing a song of gratitude for Sinéad and her family and friends.” 

Other artists performing with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra include The Murder Capital, R&B singer and 2FM Rising star Aby Coulibaly and Irish-based Ukrainian musician Olesya Zdorovetska.

The revealing of the preferred route corridor for the construction of the new Killarney to Farranfore road has been delayed – again.

Four potential routes for the N22 Farranfore-Killarney project were identified and were put out to public consultation in May 2021. These have now been whittled down to just one.

It was previously promised that the preferred route would be published late last year.

This dragged on in to the Spring and there is still no sigh of the preferred route being revealed.

A recent Kerry County Council meeting a council official explained that there are further funding requirements to allow the council complete various reports and investigations required before the road can move to its next phase.
