Thousands of TikTok fans got a chance to see the beauty of Killarney as four of Ireland’s best known TikTokers decided to holiday here this week.

Killarney was the chosen spot for the staycation as Denis O’Sullivan from Cork, James Buckley from Mayo, Gordon Forbes from Cork and Travis Leon from Donegal, who have 217,000 followers between them - made a number of TikTok videos at various locations including Ross Castle and the lakes of Killarney.

 On Wednesday afternoon the group were recognised in the town by young TikTok fans after they enjoyed a bite to eat at The Shire.

The lads became TikTok famous individually on the social media platform by posting funny and quirky videos which saw their fan base rise. As they became Ireland’s most loved TikTokers the four became friends and often post videos edited together which gives them a combined reach of up to one million views.

They decided to holiday in Kerry this week beginning with a trip to Dingle followed by a few days in Killarney town.

When they arrived here they spoke to the Killarney Advertiser saying how beautiful the town is.

“We felt so welcome and comfortable in county Kerry we had to come here on staycation,“ Gordon said.

“On Sunday, we were in Dingle. It’s nice to come and visit Killarney. It’s fantastic on the eye.”

To follow the boys go to TikTok: denisosullivan0, travisleon1, thejamesbuckley and gforbes_1 to check out their videos.

Spa GAA and the Kerry Parents & Friends Association are among the Kerry organisations to benefit from the SE Systems Community Fund Programme 2025.

Both groups have been announced as successful applicants for the national energy grant funding scheme, which supports community and sports organisations in delivering sustainable, energy-efficient projects that help reduce running costs.
The fund, launched in 2022, provides financial assistance, technical resources, and expert guidance to not-for-profit organisations working to improve energy efficiency and sustainability.
For Spa GAA, the funding will go towards a full insulation retrofit of the club’s Sports Hall and Clubhouse, as well as upgrading existing floodlights to new energy-efficient LED fittings. The project follows the installation of a Solar PV system earlier this year, continuing the club’s move toward greater energy conservation.
Speaking at the official funding announcement in Cork, James Cahill of Spa GAA thanked SE Systems “for supporting the power of sport and recreation to bring people together, promote healthy lifestyles and build connections in the community.”
Spa GAA has also been selected as one of three clubs nationally to feature in SE Systems’ print media campaign promoting the Community Fund.
