Killarney Nursing Home was found to either be compliant or substantially complaint on nearly 20 checks carried out at the care facility.

The 56 bed Rock Road nursing home, which is operated by Mowlam Healthcare Services, was the subject of an unannounced inspection last November.

Inspector Ella Ferriter of the Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA) published her report at the end of January.

“On the day of the inspection the inspector observed that residents were supported to enjoy a good quality of life in Killarney Nursing Home, by staff who were kind and caring. The overall feedback from the residents was that they were happy with the care provided by staff and that they enjoyed their life in the centre. They all complemented the kind staff, who gave them time and worked very hard,” said the report.

Throughout the day the inspector observed a friendly, relaxed and calm atmosphere in the home.

"Residents were observed to get up at a time of their choosing and told the inspector that staff were always respectful of their wishes. The inspector spoke with a number of residents during the inspection who said that they were happy in the centre and that the staff were always kind and helpful to them.”

The inspector also met with two visitors who spoke very positively about the care their loved ones received.

This Culture Night, Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh will present an hour-long live music and arts programme from Dún Lúiche in the heart of the Donegal Gaeltacht at 7pm on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player.  

Actress and singer Jessie Buckley has been added to the list of stellar musicians who will perform with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra on the night. Jessie will perform a special rendition of a Sinéad O’Connor song in tribute to the late artist. 

Jessie commented: “I am very honoured to return to Culture Night 2023 to remember Sinéad O Connor with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra. Sinéad was such a huge influence on so many women in Ireland and across the world, her courage, her mind, her politics and her intense beauty and soul. She was a warrior to humanity. I remember hearing her for the first time and feeling her uncompromising need to connect and affect. Recognising what couldn’t be said and speaking it out loud. I am so grateful for all her fire and all her love. It is such a privilege to return to Ireland for RTÉ Culture Night in Donegal to sing a song of gratitude for Sinéad and her family and friends.” 

Other artists performing with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra include The Murder Capital, R&B singer and 2FM Rising star Aby Coulibaly and Irish-based Ukrainian musician Olesya Zdorovetska.

The revealing of the preferred route corridor for the construction of the new Killarney to Farranfore road has been delayed – again.

Four potential routes for the N22 Farranfore-Killarney project were identified and were put out to public consultation in May 2021. These have now been whittled down to just one.

It was previously promised that the preferred route would be published late last year.

This dragged on in to the Spring and there is still no sigh of the preferred route being revealed.

A recent Kerry County Council meeting a council official explained that there are further funding requirements to allow the council complete various reports and investigations required before the road can move to its next phase.
