Killarney charity Green Wave raised €17,512.41
The Green Wave, an initiative set up to support frontline staff during the COVID-19 outbreak, has exceeded its €500 fundraising target and raised €17,512.41.
The Green Wave was set up by the team at Elite Event Management in Killarney to help show frontline staff an outpouring of gratitude and support from the public to bolster their resilience. The initiative saw nearly 9000 coffees delivered to hospitals and other frontlines locations across the country, in Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Louth, Kerry and Wexford.
Staff in hospitals, care homes, fire stations and Garda Stations received these hot drinks over the past eight weeks while on shift during the crisis. The initiative aimed to help support local coffee shops too by enlisting them to make and deliver the coffees to the frontline.
Kelly Crichton, Founder of the Green Wave said, “We set out nine weeks ago to recognise those working on the frontline, their hardwork and their sacrifice; and to show our gratitude and care for them. We did that together with more than 800 donors. I want to thank each and every person who donated for stepping up and showing these wonderful people that what they are doing is being recognised and we that we are all grateful.
“We had so much great help and support setting up this initiative, I want to thank all the suppliers, designers, artists, companies and others who helped us achieve this.
“There are so many wonderful charities out there who are struggling so it is our time to step back. We hope the spirit of this initiative will live on in the kind gestures we can continue to show to those who are working on the frontline.”

Wallace Arnold coach drivers return to Killarney


A group of 26 former coach drivers, wives, and friends from the Wallace Arnold tour company returned to Killarney over a recent weekend.


The group travelled from Holyhead to Dublin in a restored Wallace Arnold coach, staying at the Killarney Towers Hotel for three nights.
During the visit, the group drove the vintage coach to local landmarks, including Kate Kearney’s Cottage and Muckross House, before returning to town ahead of the Kerry versus Donegal match. The itinerary also included a trip around the Ring of Kerry.
The trip allowed the former drivers to reconnect and reminisce about their years touring Ireland. Organiser Bob Adams said that the vintage coach drew attention from local residents along the route.
The group noted the absence of several former colleagues who could not travel due to health reasons, including veteran driver Hilton Caldwell who is well known in Killarney.
