Organisers of Kerry’s longest established classic car run have announced a few changes to this year’s event.

The 43rd Ring of Kerry Veteran Vintage and Classic Car Run (KVVCCC) will take place on May 21 and 22.

While scaled back events did run during the pandemic, this year’s run will mark the return to the previous two-day format.

This year’s Ring of Kerry Run will depart from the Ballygarry Estate Hotel and Spa in Tralee at around 11am on May 21. The last time it ran in 2019, the run started from the Gleneagle Hotel.

The cars will pass through Killarney around 12 noon as they make their way to an overnight halt in Waterville via Moll’s Gap.

On Saturday the 120 or so drivers will stop off at the Red Fox near Caragh Lake before making their own way home from there.

“This idea came about from talking to members and non-members alike over the last two years. Some prefer a day run, some an overnight stay, we feel this will cater for both groups,” Kingdom Veteran Vintage and Classic Car Run club secretary, Garret Foley, said.

Members of the Killarney Soroptimist Society visited the Rockmount Care Centre on Wednesday, to present a cheque for €3000 to Nurse Manager Mary Hussey.


The significant sum was raised during the society’s successful annual pancake morning held on Shrove Tuesday at the Killarney Avenue Hotel.
Rockmount Care Centre provides essential support as a dedicated day care facility for individuals living with Dementia and Alzheimer’s, serving many clients and families from the Killarney area.
These funds arrive at a vital time, as they are earmarked for the centre’s new sensory garden project, which is currently in the design phase.
Pictured at the presentation are Soroptimists members handing over the proceeds to Mary Hussey. The society extended their thanks to the Killarney Avenue Hotel and all those who supported the fundraiser to help make this donation possible.

Repair works for the Killarney Public Realm project officially commenced on Monday, April 20, following approval from the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage.

This phase of the project, funded by the URDF, focuses on enhancing the streetscape and accessibility of both Main Street and Kenmare Place.
To allow the appointed contractors to carry out the investment safely, a section of the R-878 on Main Street, stretching from Kenmare Place to Plunkett Street, is now closed to traffic. This first period of construction is scheduled to run from April 20 until July 3.
Recognising the importance of the tourism season, the council has confirmed the street will fully reopen from July 4 to October 4 to accommodate peak summer traffic. Following this break, works will resume for a second period starting October 5 and running until December 4.
While vehicle diversions are in place, pedestrian access to all businesses and emergency service access will be maintained throughout the construction phases. Kerry County Council stated that these works are part of a wider programme to improve the safety and quality of the town centre and has thanked the public and local business owners for their cooperation during these essential improvements.
