Main dealers prepared for reopening of workshops tomorrow (Monday)

BACK TO WORK: Danny O'Shea of Bowler's Garage was one of the top five Toyota technicians in Ireland last year. The Killarney garage is prepared to reopen.

The workshop element of main dealer garages in Killarney are preparing to reopen tomorrow (Monday) morning, but life will be very different for customers and mechanics.

Every garage will introduce stringent measures to protect staff and customers.

Bowler’s Garage, Killarney’s Toyota dealership, will open its workshop with a “wait and see policy” as they adapt to the new measures.

Workshop appointments will be strictly by a pre-booking arrangement only and the number of mechanics working at any one time will be greatly reduced.

“The booking policy will prevent any surprises and walk-ins and we will be operating with reduced staff," Brian Bowler told the Killarney Advertiser.

“We have to wait and see what happens. We have no idea how busy we are going to be, some people are back to work, but not everyone will be using their cars so there is no point in having all the staff in. We want to fully open the workshop but it is a case of wait and see what the demand will be like.”

Local Nissan dealer Randles Bros operate on two different sites in the county, their showroom and car sales facility is on the Muckross Road and their workshops and repair facilities are in Tralee.

The Tralee workshop will open tomorrow morning after staff there fit an automated de-sanitation station at the premises.

“We will de-sanitise every car before handing it back to the customer," Dealer Principal David Randles told the Killarney Advertiser.

O’Leary and Lynch among local stars as Kerry win Camogie league final

Published

The “trilogy” between Kerry and Meath ended in triumph for the Kingdom on Saturday, as the Kerry Intermediate Camogie team secured the Division 2 league title in Banagher.


In a match dominated by a fierce breeze and relentless defending, Kerry edged out their rivals by 1-07 to 0-08. While the scoreboard remained low, the impact of the Killarney-area players was a decisive factor in securing Division 1B status for next season.
Kate Lynch of Glenflesk, a mainstay of the attack this season, started in the forward line and contributed to an offensive effort that gradually wore down the Meath backline. However, it was the second-half introduction of Rathmore dual star Danielle O’Leary that helped shift the momentum.
Entering the game in the 43rd minute, O’Leary sharpened the Kerry attack during the intense midfield battles of the final quarter. Her impact was most evident when she combined with fellow substitute Shannon Collins to set up Patrice Diggin’s only score from play, providing the platform for the game’s decisive moment.
In the 55th minute, Collins fired a low shot into the net to nudge Kerry ahead. Despite a late Meath rally, Patrice Diggin held her nerve to slot over two late dead-ball scores to seal the win.
While Kathryn Ryan, Áine Devlin, and Tiarna Dineen were part of the matchday panel and have played key roles throughout this unbeaten campaign, they were not called upon from the bench on this occasion.
Scorers for Kerry: P Diggin 0-07 (4fs, 2 45s); S Collins 1-00
Kerry: A Fitzgerald, T McCarthy, S Murphy, M Costello, R Quinn, N Leen, E O’Donoghue, P Diggin, C Spillane, A O’Sullivan, J Horgan, K Lynch, R O’Connor, L Collins, E Conway. Subs: D O’Leary for Conway, S Collins for Lynch (43); A Behan for Quinn (43)
