Muckross House entrance tidy up

Published

At Wednesday's Killarney Municipal District meeting, Cllr John O'Donoghue raised the issue of the unkempt appearance of the entrance to Muckross House.

He highlighted the three different levels at the Front Gate entrance to Muckross House and Gardens, used for jaunting cars and car parking, and the neglected state of the surrounding shrubbery and flower garden areas.

O'Donoghue requested that either the National Park and Wildlife Service (NPWS) or the council take responsibility for tidying up the area before the start of the tourist season.

The Killarney MD Office confirmed that they will carry out the necessary gardening work to improve the appearance of the car park and entrance.

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)
