Killarney Advertiser launches brand new local Event Guide

Last month we launched our Readership Survey, a project that helped us better understand the content you want to see more of.

When our readers were asked "from the advertisements you see in our magazine, what grabs your attention the most", a massive 70% of the 683 respondents said they were interested in reading about Events.

As always we listened, and asked ourselves what more can we do to promote events in our town. On the eve of Paddy’s weekend we are delighted to launch our new Event Guide 'What’s on in Killarney'.

The Advertiser is Killarney’s most popular publication. For almost 50 years we have supported the events industry in our town and have built up great relationships with the local businesses at the forefront of bringing the very best music and arts line-ups to town.

Our new weekly Event Guide is the next step in promoting Killarney’s Live Event scene. Each week we will work with local venues to collate their events schedule and bring it to you in a digestible format in both our magazine and our website.

“Bar Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway, I don’t think any other town or city manages to attract the calibre of live music and arts events like Killarney does, and we realised that there is no local, single source of updated content for locals and visitors to see what’s going on in town in any given week," Business Development Manager Chris Davies, speaking about our latest initiative, said.

"With our new Event Guide you can expect to find all the latest Concerts, Pub Gigs, Festivals, Talks, Lectures and Exhibitions coming to town."

If you have a venue in town that hosts live events - let us know. Email sales@killarneyadvertiser.ie.

A new, more environmentally friendly diesel alternative is now available in Killarney, with Certa’s site in the Woodlands Industrial Estate becoming the first in Kerry to dispense hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO).

The renewable fuel is already being used locally — including by Deros Coaches.
HVO is a low-carbon biofuel that serves as a direct replacement for traditional diesel.

Made by treating waste plant material with hydrogen, it does not release any additional carbon emissions into the atmosphere.
Compared to regular diesel, HVO emits up to 90% less CO₂ and also offers benefits such as lower NOx emissions, biodegradability, longer shelf-life, and being completely fossil-free.

After years at the helm of St Brigid’s Secondary School, Principal Róisín Moore has announced her decision to step down, marking the end of a remarkable chapter in the school’s history.

In a statement issued by the school community this week, Ms Moore described the decision as deeply personal.

“This has not been an easy decision,” she said.

“But I believe the time is right for me to explore other opportunities while also giving greater attention to family responsibilities. The role of principal is a demanding one, and I have always strived to give it my full commitment.”

Ms Moore’s tenure at St. Brigid’s has been defined by vision, compassion, and a deep commitment to the values of CEIST and Catholic education. A former student of the school , she returned years later to lead the institution she credits with shaping her both personally and professionally.

“Serving as Principal of St Brigid’s has been one of the great honours of my life,” she said. “I remain deeply committed to the values of CEIST and to the mission of Catholic education. I am proud of what we have achieved together, and I leave the role with immense gratitude for the opportunity to lead the school community.”

Her leadership coincided with significant achievements, including a very positive WSE-MLL (Whole School Evaluation – Management, Leadership and Learning) report, the continued advancement of a major building project, and the fostering of what she described as “a caring and inclusive environment with high expectations at its core.”

“We have an outstanding teaching staff, a robust culture of leadership and management, and a clear sense of purpose and direction,” she added. “I have every confidence the board of management and staff will continue to bring the school forward.”

Teacher and school PRO Sheree Murphy paid tribute on behalf of staff and students.

‘It’s hard to put into words just how much Róisín has meant to St Brigid’s and to all of us who have had the privilege of working under her leadership” said Ms Murphy.

“She has been an exceptional leader, steadfast, visionary, and deeply committed to every student, staff member, and family in our school community. Her dedication has truly brought the school from strength to strength.”

“Through her guidance, I personally have grown immensely as a teacher. Her belief in professional development, collaborative leadership, and high expectations has helped shape the kind of educator I am today.”
