Representatives from Killarney Credit Union were at a Killarney Camogie Club training session this week as part of their sponsorship of the U-14 team who attended the All-Ireland Féile na nGael. It was the first time in 34 years that Killarney qualified for this event and all of those who took part did themselves and their club proud.

Killarney Camogie Club, which was re-established six years ago, has been growing steadily and caters for U-8s right through to the older age groups.

Mary O Neill, Chairperson of Killarney Camogie Club, said: “We are delighted with the progress of the club to date and we are always delighted to welcome new members. We have girls attending from different clubs and schools in Killarney, and from different parishes such as Rathmore and Killorglin. The club is a great platform to make long lasting friendships through a team sport, learn new skills and have fun. We really appreciate the hard work and commitment of the trainers Ceara Moore, Paul O’Brien, Pat Sheehan, Melissa Culloty, James O’Sullivan, Fergal O’Carroll, and Mark Moore.”

Killarney Credit Union representative Helen Courtney Power wished the club all the best for the year ahead. The Credit Union provided sponsorship of kit bags and contributed towards training tops for the Féile.

Anyone interested in joining Killarney Camogie Club should contact Ceara on 086 2217774, Elaine on 087 2977720 or get in tough by email via secretary.killarney.kerry@camogie.ie.

Students from three local secondary schools, St Brendan’s College, St Bridget’s Secondary School, and Killarney Community College, are joining forces with the Killarney Tidy Town Committee, Kerry County Council, and the Meitheal group to focus on environmental projects.

The students recently gave impressive presentations detailing their efforts to actively promote biodiversity, tackle litter waste, and protect the environment.
Attending the presentations were members of the Tidy Towns Committee and Mayor of Killarney Councillor Martin Grady.
The students have conducted surveys to highlight the worst areas prone to litter and have carried out subsequent litter picking in those areas while also creating public awareness.
Additionally, bird feeders have been made in woodwork classes and mounted within the school grounds.
One of the key strategies adopted by the schools to maintain and increase diversity has been the development and nurturing of garden areas within their grounds.
These green spaces serve a vital role in supporting the local ecosystem, promoting student well-being, and empowering learners of all abilities.
