The Fossa Community Sustainability Fair, hosted by the Fossa Climate Action Group, was a huge success last Sunday afternoon, with over 20 exhibitors showcasing their initiatives and projects in Fossa Community Hall.

The annual event, which aims to promote sustainability and community engagement, attracted a diverse range of visitors who came to learn, share, and connect with local organisations and initiatives.

Exhibitors included Killarney National Park Education Staff, Beaufort Beekeepers Association, Young Environmental Award entrants, Flourish Organics and Wild Weeds.

The fair provided a platform for local groups and individuals to share their work, exchange ideas, and inspire others to take action on environmental issues.

Visitors had the opportunity to learn about sustainable practices, conservation efforts, and community-led projects, highlighting the wealth of talent and commitment to sustainability in the local community.

“We’re thrilled with the response and it gives comfort to know that there are so many groups in the area who are working to sustain the beautiful and healthy environment that surrounds us,” said Diarmaid Griffin of the Fossa Climate Action Group.

The Fossa Climate Action Group would like to thank all exhibitors, attendees, and supporters who contributed to the success of the event.

Killarney Legion was among a select group of just 70 clubs from across the 32 counties invited to Croke Park recently to receive a Hurling Refresher Pack.

The presentation was led by GAA President Jarlath Burns and Hurling Development Committee Chairperson Terry Reilly.

Eamonn and Sonny Maguire represented the Killarney club at the headquarters to accept the equipment.

The initiative is part of a strategic drive by the GAA to grow the game, particularly in developing and non-traditional hurling areas.

Each pack contains 15 hurleys, 15 helmets, and 60 sliotars, specifically designed to support nursery and underage coaching.

President Jarlath Burns said that promoting and preserving hurling is a top priority of his term.
