Then, on Saturday December 15, the Christmas hampers will be delivered to the families in Killarney.

“Over the past 40 years people of Killarney have donated money to the Killarney Lions Club Food Appeal and 1000s of Christmas Hampers have been delivered to needy Killarney families,” Liam Kealy, from Killarney Lions Club, said.

“The funds collected go to local charity needs. This time of the year is not an easy time for some in our community, we ask that you give as generously as you can. We will make sure on your behalf that those in need in and around Killarney will have a better Christmas thanks to your kindness and support.”

He added that the Lions Club wish you and your family a very happy and peaceful Christmas.

The annual Killarney Regatta Dance took place on September 25 as rowers, families and supporters came together to celebrate their successful year.

The racing was cancelled in September due to bad weather.

The Killarney Regatta is one of Ireland’s oldest rowing events, having first begun in 1788.

The dance took place at the Killarney Oaks Hotel where there was a lot of excitement and fun. Six rowing clubs, Fossa, Workman’s, St Brendan’s, Commercials, Flesk Valley, and Muckross, came together to celebrate the community and its shared history.

Amelia Counihan was crowned as the Regatta Queen.

The Queen represents the spirit pride and grace of the rowing community and has been a tradition in the club for generations.

Workman’s Rowing Club congratulated Amelia and described her as a woman who embodies everything that their tradition stands for.

The club said: “Queen is more than a title — it is a celebration of history, community, and the spirit of Killarney rowing.”
