Killarney in Solidarity with Palestine

A group of Killarney residents are to stage a weekly vigil in the town centre to raise awareness of the plight facing Palestinian people.
Several vigils take place weekly in Kenmare Listowel, Killorglin, Cahersiveen, Tralee and Dingle.

Three different Killarney vigils took place late last year – Killarney hosted two information evenings, one  at The Great Southern Hotel in November and an additional film in at Mary’s Church in January – but unlike the other Kerry towns, vigils not been a regular feature locally.

This about to change on Sunday when will Irish Palestinian Solidarity Campaign meet at the Market Cross between 2 and 3 pm to raise awareness of the ongoing conflict in Palestine.

Organisers say the vigil will be: “continuing for …who knows [how long].”

“It’s aim is to draw attention to the situation and encourage people to get involved,” local organiser Lisa O’Sullivan, of the Kerry branch of the Irish Palestinian Solidarity Campaign, told the Killarney Advertiser.

“At the moment there are weekly vigils all over Kerry [but none in Killarney].”
