Kerry-based Opel and Vauxhall enthusiasts will meet in Killarney next month ahead of their annual road run.

The Opel/Vauxhall Run Kerry and the additional Manta Fest 2023 will start from the Killarney Heights Hotel on May 14 at 9am.

Once all drivers are signed on they will head off on a tour of famous South Kerry rally roads.

The event was originally supposed to run on May 7 but there is a potential clash with a Munster final in Killarney so it was decided to move it out one week.

The route includes Moll’s Gap, Ballaghbeama Gap and Caragh Lake.

Last year the event attracted nearly 80 cars but with the addition of the Manta Fest that figures is likely to be exceeded this year.

“We are hoping to have the most amount of Opel Mantas in the one place,” said local Opel enthusiast Paul Horan.

Donations will be made on the day to a yet to be nominated charity.

Huge congratulations to Killarney couple Elaine Sugrue and Shane Reen on their spectacular wedding celebrations on Saturday, June 6.

Elaine, who was born in Manchester and has lived in Killarney since she was a teenager, travelled back to her home city with Shane for a truly unforgettable day. As massive Manchester United fans, the couple said an “I Do” with a view. Their stunning wedding ceremony took place on Hotel Football’s spectacular rooftop terrace, “Heaven”, directly overlooking the iconic Old Trafford stadium, before everyone moved downstairs into the hotel’s fantastic Stadium Suite for the dinner party.
The beautiful couple now resides in Barraduff with their two wonderful children, Brooke and Tadhg, who were right there to celebrate the magic. A big crowd of family and friends made the journey over from Ireland to support Elaine and Shane on their special day.
The party didn’t stop there. Day two celebrations were kept lively and local at the historic Spread Eagle in Chorlton, where everyone toasted to the new Mr. and Mrs. Reen. Wishing Elaine, Shane, and their beautiful family a lifetime of love and laughter.
