Kerry Mental Health Association’s initiative to offer match-day parking for Sunday’s Munster Senior Football Final in Killarney has been met with huge support, with all 40 resurfaced spaces at its Upper Lewis Road facility now completely sold out.

The car park, which is ideally located next to Fitzgerald Stadium, was made available through a pre-booking system at a cost of €10 per space (excluding booking charges), with proceeds going towards the purchase of an eight-seater vehicle for the Ard Álainn Mental Health Day Centre in Killorglin.
Entry to the supervised car park will be strictly based on presentation of a valid parking ticket. Gates will open from 11am, and access will continue until the final whistle, whether the match ends in normal or extra time.
Drivers are reminded to show their ticket to gardaí and/or stewards upon arrival, park at their own risk, and to take their litter home.
Looking ahead, John Drummey, General Manager of Kerry Mental Health Association, said:
“As it was such a success, we’ll be opening the car park again for Kerry’s home games in the Group Stages of the All-Ireland Series.
We’ll also consider providing the service for the Kerry Petroleum Club Championship and Garvey’s SuperValu County Championship games at Fitzgerald Stadium, subject to availability of the car park and volunteers.”
The car park fundraiser is just one of three events taking place over the May Bank Holiday weekend to raise funds for the new bus.
On Saturday, a Spinathon will be held from 10am to 6pm at Keane’s SuperValu and Library Place in Killorglin, while in Killarney, the Killarney Branch will host its annual bucket collection at Daly’s SuperValu, Penneys, Dunnes Stores, and TK Maxx from 10am to 6pm.
Mr. Drummey thanked all volunteers involved in the three events, as well as the Killarney Valley Classic and Vintage Club, who will assist as stewards at the car park on Sunday.
