FROM Naples to Killarney, via Dingle, Piccolo on Beech Road certainly has the recipe for success.

Its chef Luca Iacomino hails from Naples, the home of pizza, and he joins forces with Stephen O’Brien, of Dingle, who opened Piccolo in recent months. “Buying by the slice is the central concept,” said Stephen. “With Luca on board, we offer the authentic Italian pizza and all our ingredients are fresh.”

In addition, the pizzeria provides a small artisan retail section and deli with Italian gourmet specialities.

As well as the amazing food on offer, you can quench your thirst with Granita drinks, a delicious fresh fruit and crushed ice combination.

Italian desserts, including cakes, are also on the menu, as are specialist coffees, lattes, hot chocolate and espresso.

The name Piccolo comes from the Italian word for small or little and it is because of the bijou nature of the venue that the name was chosen.

Piccolo is also running a delivery service and catering service for parties of all kinds, including Christmas parties. “We offer sweet food, breads and salads as well as a whole range of party food,” said Stephen. “We will tailor the service to suit your requirements and budget.” Contact Piccolo Pizza on 064-6638626.

Kerry Community Youth Service (KCYS) was pleased to welcome Minister Niall Collins to its Youth Diversion Project in Kilarney last week.

The visit gave the Minister an opportunity to meet staff and hear directly about the work of the Kerry Youth Diversion Project, including early intervention, family support, court accompaniment and wider youth justice practice across the county.
KCYS supports young people across a broad continuum of services in Kerry, from preventative and developmental youth work through to highly targeted interventions for young people and families facing significant challenge and complexity. The Youth Diversion Project forms an important part of that wider continuum of support.
Speaking following the visit, Seamus Whitty, CEO of KCYS, said:
“We were delighted to welcome Minister Collins to Kerry and to have the opportunity to give him a sense of the breadth and depth of the work being carried by the Youth Diversion Project here.
The Youth Diversion Project in Kerry is a strong and well-developed intervention, grounded in practice, informed by evidence, and marked by innovation in how it supports young people and families. It is part of a broader continuum of supports provided by KCYS, and it depends on strong collaboration across teams, services and community partners to make a real difference in people’s lives.
It is also important to acknowledge the Department’s continued commitment to youth justice. The policy direction in this area has been a progressive one, and that has created space for work of this kind to develop and respond to need in a meaningful way.”
The visit highlighted the scale and complexity of the work being carried by the KCYS team, and the importance of sustained investment in youth work responses for young people and families.

Representing the Killarney Municipal District at Sunday’s Assess Ireland Rally of the Lakes launch, Cllr Niall ‘Botty’ O’Callaghan praised the enduring partnership between the Rally of the Lakes and the local community.

For the O’Callaghan family, the event is deeply personal; they own and operate the Failte Hotel on College Street, a landmark business that has grown alongside the rally for decades.
Cllr O’Callaghan noted that the history of the Failte Hotel is inextricably linked with the rally’s heritage, serving as a hub for competitors and fans since the early days of the event.
He said that the rally has become a vital part of the fabric of Killarney life, providing a massive economic and social boost to the town. “The rally has been part of the hotel’s history as much as the hotel has been part of the rally’s history,” he told the gathered crowd, expressing his pride in seeing the tradition continue.
He welcomed the organisers and sponsors to Gleneagle, wishing the event continued success as it remains a cornerstone of the Killarney sporting calendar.
