Moriarty’s of Killorglin launch new website
By Michelle Crean
There's €1,000 store credit to furnish a room of your choice up for grabs - and it's all part of the launch of a new website today (Friday).
In response to the demand for a better online presence during the pandemic Moriarty's of Killorglin decided to get to work and build their very first website.
And after a false start and a lot of research, web design company Avalanche was chosen and the result can be found on www.moriartysofkillorglin.ie.
"Over the last two years living with COVID has been an extreme challenge for customers and business owners alike," Claire Caulfield, Sales and Administration Manager, told the Killarney Advertiser.
"It really was a story like none other, a story of uncertainty, most businesses had to get creative and adapt their way of doing business over this period in order to survive and keep going. It [a website] was something that we hadn’t overly considered as people could always visit us, we quickly realised that we had to adapt to these strange times and from there our website journey began."
And Claire added that they couldn’t recommend Avalanche enough.
"Aidan made the process so simple and less daunting than we first thought. Aidan and his team couldn’t have been more helpful, any idea we had they put on the site that day. We have never been so grateful to all our customers over the last two years for the support they have shown us, without this the chances are like a lot of businesses over COVID, we would have had to close our doors. We really do now understand the meaning of 'Shop Local'."
And in light of launching the new site they would like to give someone very special a little gift.
"COVID is hopefully finally coming to an end but with this has left its mark on many people’s lives, leaving behind heartache, job losses and the rising cost of living. We would like to give €1,000 store credit to furnish a room of their choice. All you have to do is go to our website, click on the dedicated link and nominate someone close to you that truly deserves it and leave us a little message as to why you have chosen this person; it can be anyone from a child, parent, grandparent or healthcare worker - you decide!
"Again, we would like to thank all our customers from far and wide and Aidan and his team at Avalanche because without these people none of this would be possible. Strength and growth come only through effort and support."
Killarney to elect new Mayor on Monday morning
Killarney will have a new mayor by Monday morning as the annual general meetings for the local municipal districts and Kerry County Council take place on Monday.
The Killarney Municipal District AGM is scheduled for 10.00am in the Council Chamber, followed by the full Kerry County Council annual meeting at 12.30pm. The sole business to be conducted at these sessions is the election of the Mayor, Deputy Mayor, Cathaoirleach, and Leas-Cathaoirleach.
This transition marks the third year of the current council cycle since the local elections in the summer of 2024, following Councillor Maura Healy-Rae’s term in year one and Councillor Martin Grady’s recently completed term.
Grady described his year in the chair as a memorable honour. The term carried personal significance for Grady, following a family tradition in the role previously held by his grandfather John Grady in 1972, his father Donal Grady in 2010, and his uncle Seán Grady on five separate occasions.
Reflecting on the past 12 months, Grady highlighted key council decisions and district developments, including the retention of
