KILLARNEY CREDIT UNION has this week launched its new loan product – the “Connect Loan” for members who have never borrowed from the credit union before or haven’t in the past three years.

The credit union is offering a very competitive interest rate of 6% (6.2% APR) with this product, to encourage its members to think about borrowing from the credit union.

Speaking about the launch, Mark Murphy, CEO, Killarney Credit Union, said: “We have introduced the Connect Loan for new borrowers or previous borrowers to get them to connect with us here in the credit union. Nearly half of our members haven’t ever borrowed or borrowed recently from us and we hope that by offering a good rate of interest will encourage them to come in and apply.” There are many advantages of a credit union loan including flexible repayment terms, free loan protection, no fees or charges for processing your loan and better rates than many other credit products such as credit cards or overdrafts.

Mark added: “We offer a huge amount of convenience for new borrowers as well, with full online banking facilities and direct debits for loan repayments. A decision can be made on your loan quickly, often on the same day. We consider all loan applications on the members ability to repay the loan, which is of paramount important."

The “Connect Loan” is now available in all Killarney Credit Union branches at Beech Road, Park Road and Kenmare. You can also make a quick loan enquiry online www.killarneycu.ie and a loan officer will contact you back.

Killarney Lions Club’s Christmas Food Appeal, which provides food hampers and vouchers to families in need during the festive season, has seen huge support in recent weeks in advance of its annual street collection this Friday (December 19).

The transition year students at Killarney Community College raised money through a fantastic bake sale in the school, while the students of St Brendan’s College had great success by fundraising through a ‘non uniform’ day and carol singing in Killarney town.

Next up was the first ever Santa Cycle fundraiser on Saturday December 6, which was supported by Killarney Cycling Club and Christmas in Killarney. The event was a great success, with over €700 raised and more than 40 people taking part in the Cycle which culminated in a guest appearance at the head of the Christmas in Killarney parade.

Lions Club volunteers will be out in force this Friday around Killarney town to raise the remaining funds needed for the Food Appeal. Over 100 families were supported through the initiative in 2024, and the Club hopes to provide similar support this year

A charity bake sale hosted by Killarney for Palestine was deemed a major success, with the event receiving an extra boost from the appearance of Moglaí Bap of the Belfast rap group Kneecap.

Moglaí Bap, who was in town for Kneecap’s two sold-out concerts at the Gleneagle Arena last Friday and Saturday, led a promotional walk that concluded at the bake sale.
The coffee morning and bake sale took place in the lounge and interior kitchen of the Blacksheep Hostel on New Street on Saturday. It was extended by an hour, running until 2:30 pm, to accommodate the arrival of the walk, which reached the hostel at approximately 1:50 pm. Kneecap is known to organise similar community runs or walks in every town and city where they perform.
Susan Larkin and Lisa O’Sullivan of Killarney for Palestine confirmed the success of the fundraiser. They noted that the appearance of Moglaí Bap “added an extra element of excitement to what was already a wonderful event”.
