Gardaí have issued an appeal for vigilance to both locals and tourists following a series of vehicle break-ins and a residential burglary in the Ross Road area this week.

The recent spell of warm weather has drawn large crowds to Killarney National Park. On Tuesday night, as people flocked to Ross Castle to enjoy the evening heatwave, several motorists returned to find their vehicles had been broken into.

In an official statement, a Garda spokesperson confirmed the incidents: "Gardaí are investigating a number of thefts from vehicles that occurred in Killarney on Wednesday, May 27. The investigation is ongoing."

In a separate incident, authorities are also dealing with a break-in at a local property. Gardaí confirmed they are investigating a burglary at a residential home that occurred in Killarney on the morning of Wednesday, May 27.

With investigations ongoing into both the vehicle thefts and the household burglary, anyone who noticed any suspicious activity in the vicinity of Ross Castle or the wider Killarney area over Tuesday night and Wednesday morning is urged to contact Killarney Garda Station.

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.

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.
