Kerry GAA players are set to look a whole lot different in the coming days as today (Friday) the new 2022 home jersey was unveiled.

The jersey will be available from early this morning at the Official Kerry GAA Store in the Killarney Outlet Centre.

The new jersey is returning to a more traditional look with the whole design centred on the iconic Kerry crest.

The Kingdom will wear the jersey for the first time when they take on Kildare this Sunday in Newbridge in Round 1 of the Allianz Football League.

Although the players have always carried this crest on their chest with pride and conviction, having these individual elements incorporated into the very fabric of the jersey intensifies this passion.

With the symbol of the GAA to the fore and of course Kerry’s artistry, history, flora and fauna emblazoned on the jersey – the tradition and values of the Kerry people and the history of this great county is showcased in this jersey.

“We hope that this jersey brings great success to the county and the players who wear it over the course of the season,” the GAA County Board’s assistant press officer Emma Sweeney, said.

“Synonymous with iconic Kerry jerseys is the sponsorship of Kerry Group who are a tremendous support to Kerry GAA in all areas and something which we are very grateful for."

The jersey is available online at www.kerrygaastore.ie.

Work on new, fully accessible public toilet facilities at Killarney Library is set to begin on Monday, July 20, marking the realisation of a project first tabled over two years ago.

The upgrade was initially put forward by Councillor Marie Moloney in May 2024, when she raised a motion at a Kerry County Council meeting highlighting the unacceptable lack of disabled toilets in a public building. At the time, Cllr Moloney noted that while access ramps were in place, several library users with disabilities were disappointed by the lack of facilities. “I will be keeping the pressure on to have these facilities provided as soon as possible,” she stated at the time.
Delivered by the Council’s Facilities Section, the upcoming works are expected to be completed in the autumn. The development will provide a new entrance to the toilet area, a fully accessible toilet, and baby changing facilities.
Killarney Library will remain open throughout the construction period, with all regular services continuing as normal. To ensure safety, the front porch, the existing public toilets, and the events room will be temporarily closed. Visitors will access the library via a signposted side entrance, and alternative public toilets will be available nearby at the High Street Car Park.

Kerry Mountain Rescue Team (KMRT) has issued a warm weather warning for anyone climbing in the region after being called to assist a walker on Sunday.

The rescue team was tasked to the Devil’s Ladder area of Carrauntoohil (Corrán Tuathail) to help a climber experiencing severe exhaustion and dehydration. Volunteers successfully assisted the walker down to an awaiting vehicle.
With the current heatwave continuing, KMRT is reminding all hillwalkers to prepare adequately before setting out.
The team recommends carrying at least one extra litre of water, wearing sunscreen, and using a peaked or wide-brimmed hat. Walkers should set out early in the morning to ensure they are off the mountains before the peak heat builds in the middle of the day.
KMRT also advises walkers to consider changing their plans to less strenuous routes or rescheduling their climbs entirely until temperatures drop.
