Are you a “wise guy” or a “know it all” - if so, you will be able to test your knowledge this week.

Kilcummin National School Parents Association (PA) are holding a family quiz which will be their first substantial outing since before COVID curtailed such activities.

A social night of fun and entertainment is promised, with a surprise guest on the night!

As well as the opportunity to be crowned champions on the night, the winners of the table quiz will also bag €100 for their night's endeavour.

Alongside the table quiz the PA are also running a fantastic raffle on the night with some spectacular prizes on offer.

“Much appreciation to all our wonderful local sponsors for their kind support. Highlight of the raffle is a Kerry jersey and football signed by the Kerry team, but we also have an array of vouchers, hampers and lots more,”Joanne O'Sullivan, Chairperson for the Kilcummin Parents Association, said.

Everyone is welcome to attend and participate on the night so why not come and join us for a fun filled night with the ultimate Quiz Master himself, Cathal Walshe.

The quiz will be held in the Klub Bar at the Kilcummin GAA grounds this Thursday (March 30) with proceedings beginning at 7pm.

The funds raised from this event will go to support activities and facilities for the children of Kilcummin NS.

Fianna Fáil Spokesperson on Tourism, Michael Cahill TD, has highlighted Killarney’s suitability to host summit meetings of international Government Ministers during Ireland’s six-month European Presidency tenure in 2026.

Deputy Cahill believes Kerry’s available accommodation, food, and conference facilities are “second to none,” with Killarney as the central location.
“Visitors from every corner of the earth have been coming to Kerry for centuries now, to experience its beauty and serenity and have returned on many occasions because of the fabulous time they have enjoyed during their stay here,” said Deputy Cahill. “Where else would you want to bring the senior Government Ministers of all of our EU counterpart states, to experience Ireland, its customs and heritage?”
The Rossbeigh TD outlined various attractions available for visitors during downtime: “During their downtime, they can visit the Blaskets and Slea Head, Sceilg Mhichíl and the Ring of Kerry, Killarney’s Lakes, Gap of Dunloe, National Park and Sliabh Luachra, all of our glorious beaches from Ballybunion to Rossbeigh, Kells to Ventry, Whitestrand to Inch, Ballinskelligs to Cromane, Waterville to Derrynane.” He also cited Kerry’s golf courses, Listowel Writers Week, the Rose of Tralee, and Puck Fair as potential experiences.
Deputy Cahill confirmed he has raised this matter with An Taoiseach, Micheál Martin; An Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs, Simon Harris; and Minister of State for European Affairs, Thomas Byrne.
“If Killarney’s bid is successful in bringing the Heads of State to our county for meetings, conferences and functions, it will be a massive boost to the local economy in Killarney and also throughout the county,” added Cahill.”Iwill continue to push in the coming months for Killarney and Kerry to be included as bases for the rounds of meetings that are to take place from July 1 to December 312026.”
