A major jobs fair, which will be open to jobseekers and employers, will take place in Killarney on Wednesday, May 25.

The event, to be held in the Great Southern Killarney from 10.30am to 2pm, is being organised by the Killarney Chamber of Tourism and Commerce in conjunction with the South Kerry Development Partnership (SKDP).

Information on a huge variety of full-time, part-time, seasonal and remote jobs will be available on the day and it will give job hunters an opportunity to connect with employers from many industries and sectors.

Those attending that are currently in search of work or seeking a new beginning are encouraged to bring an up-to-date curriculum vitae with them on the day.

Employers can exhibit free of charge at the event but they will need to register in advance to secure their space. They can do so by emailing event@killarney.ie or jgriffin@skdp.net before the close of business on Friday, May 20.

Killarney Chamber of Tourism and Commerce President, Niall Kelleher, said the business community is very excited about the South Kerry Jobs Fair which will put jobseekers and employers in touch with each other.

“This event could well provide the opportunity many people are waiting for and we extend an open invitation to everybody to attend on the day,” he said.

There’s hardly a Killarney home he hasn’t been to – but now DJ O’Driscoll has stood down from his duties.

Friday night marked delivery driver DJ’s retirement from the Killarney branch of Corcoran’s Furniture & Carpets, a position he has held for the last 15 years.

On Friday night, colleagues from all three Corcoran’s Furniture & Carpets stores gathered in the Killarney Height’s Hotel. DJ was also joined by his daughter and her partner for the special night.

“After almost 15 years of steadfast work with Corcoran’s, DJ has been a constant pillar of support for his colleagues and has helped the company go from strength to strength,” owner Kieran Corcoran said.

“Corcoran’s would like to wish DJ the very best of luck for the future and hoping that he enjoys his retirement. Many thanks to Killarney Height’s Hotel for hosting the staff night on Friday. A great night was had by all!”

Members of Flesk Valley Rowing Club had a strenuous but successful morning on Sunday when they collectively rowed the distance from Malin Head to Mizen Head.

And it was all done indoors on rowing machines in support of the Killarney Order of Malta.

Just before 11am the Valley armada ‘left shore’, and approximately 40 members aged from 12 to 50ish set to their task with enthusiasm. By midday someone reckoned that Barack Obama’s Plaza had been reached but unfortunately there was no stop for tea, just a splash of holy water, a mouthful of Lucozade and a few jelly babies for the lucky ones!

As the kilometres clicked slowly by the temperature started to rise and the cry went up from the gasping veterans to open all the doors!

No such problems for the junior relay crews who had a fantastic morning rowing, laughing, and racing each other all the way to the finish.

The junior members who took on the half-marathon distance individually were amazing throughout and got stronger as the finish line came into view.

“We’re delighted with how the morning went,” Tadhg Kelly from Flesk Valley said.

“There was a great atmosphere in the venue, and we are grateful to all the parents and Flesk Valley supporters who came along to encourage our young and not-so-young rowers. It was great too to see the members of the Order of Malta in attendance to offer their support, and the club would like to thank everyone who donated on the day.”

Tadhg also expressed his thanks to the underage coaches and committee members for looking after everyone during the event. He especially wanted to mention everyone at Celtic Steps and the Killarney Racecourse for facilitating the club and Workmens Rowing Club and Glenflesk GAA for the use of their equipment.
