Killarney-based travel professional Nicola Browne is celebrating this week as part of the Travel Counsellors Ireland team, which has been named Business All-Star Travel Company of the Year.

The national accreditation was awarded by the All-Ireland Business Foundation (AIBF), an independent adjudication body that measures businesses on performance, trust, and customer service. This marks the second consecutive year that the company has received the national title.
Travel Counsellors Ireland operates as part of a global network of nearly 2,500 independent travel specialists, with over 80 professionals based across Ireland providing personalised leisure and corporate travel services.
"I’m incredibly proud to be part of an award-winning team and to represent Travel Counsellors here in Kerry," Nicola Browne said. "What makes this role so special is the opportunity to build lasting relationships with clients and help create memorable travel experiences, while also having the flexibility and support to grow your own business."
Cathy Burke, Managing Director of Travel Counsellors Ireland, stated that the accolade reflects the passion, care, and expertise that individual counselors bring to their clients daily as the network continues to expand.
The rigorous AIBF evaluation process includes background checks, customer interviews, and anonymous test purchases to grade companies against strict performance metrics.
Kieran Ring, Deputy Chair of the AIBF Adjudication Board, noted that the company stood out for its personalized service model, professionalism, and the trust it has established with clients nationwide.

Glenflesk GAA hosts cardiac screening clinic


Glenflesk GAA Healthy Club recently welcomed the Dillon Quirke Foundation to run a cardiac screening clinic for its young members.


A total of 45 club players aged 12 to 18 underwent vital heart checks designed to promote early detection and heart health awareness among young athletes.
Medical personnel from Advanced Medical Services conducted the screenings with professionalism and care, while the club’s Healthy Club Team oversaw the smooth operation of the event.
The Dillon Quirke Foundation operates without government funding, relying entirely on public support to raise awareness of Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS) and provide non-cost cardiac clinics to sports clubs across Ireland.
Glenflesk GAA encourages anyone wishing to support the foundation’s ongoing screening work to consider making a donation online at dillonquirkefoundation.com.

Traditions past and present meet at Muckross School House

Two distinct eras of Irish storytelling collided at Muckross School House last week, showcasing how traditional culture adapts across generations for National Heritage Week 2026.

Representing the classic lineage of Irish folklore, renowned local historian, musician, and seanchaí Dáithí Collopy delivered an authentic masterclass in old-school storytelling.

Performing alongside his children Sadhbh, Siún, and Daithí Óg, Collopy relied on the ancient oral tradition to captivate the audience through spoken word, presence, and music.


Contrastingly, social media creator Eoin Reardon brought traditional heritage into the modern digital age.

Known for sharing his traditional green woodworking craft with millions online, Reardon hosted a hands-on workshop demonstrating traditional utensil crafting techniques while engaging attendees through the lens of modern storytelling.


The events brought together two completely different methods of preserving Irish heritage—one rooted in the timeless art of the fireside seanchaí, the other leveraging modern platforms like TikTok to keep historic skills relevant for a global, digital audience.
