Do you want to celebrate Ladies Day at Killarney Races in style this year? Café du Parc Killarney has the answer.

If you want to start the day off with panache, you can head over to Café du Parc for great bites, Rosé Flight or a cocktail and the chance to win prizes in their Best Dressed competition, all before you make your way to Ladies Day.

The Café du Parc exclusive Ladies Day Rosé pre-party will take place before the races kick off, giving you a chance to show off your outfit and even win a prize before Ladies Day officially begins.

The doors will be open from 11am, with the Best Dressed award being judged from midday and the winners announced at 1pm.

While you’re there, you can enjoy a cocktail to get yourself into the spirit of the occasion, or sit with the Café du Parc’s Rosé Flight, with four tasters of premium rosé wines. There will also be a sumptuous brunch menu on offer, so you can enjoy dishes like avocado toast, eggs benedict or chicken and waffles before you head over to the Races.

Judging for the Café du Parc Best Dressed will be taking place from midday, with the stylist and fashion designer Sinead Keary deciding upon the ultimate winners, with some fabulous prizes up for grabs. There will also be entertainment to get you into the spirit of the day. Dress code is Café Du Parc chic with a touch of Ladies Day dazzle but most importantly come in whatever makes you feel awesome (hats optional).

If you want to continue the party after the Races, you can head back to Café du Parc for light bites and a cocktail at the end of the day.

The prizes for Best Dressed are most definitely worth dusting off the fascinator.

Overall Prize: A Suite Stay in The Killarney Plaza Hotel & Spa, including two nights stay in a suite, cocktails and dinner in Café du Parc, a Signature Serail treatment for two people and brunch on both mornings
Second Place: A ‘Funky Brunch’ and bubbles for six people in Café du Parc
Third Place: Dinner and drinks for four people in O’Donoghue Public House

You can pop in for the Best Dressed on the day or if you like there is an option to purchase a ticket that includes Brunch, rosé flights and tickets to Ladies Day for €60.

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

Published

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.
