No 2021 return for Killarney on Ice

By Michelle Crean
Fans of the ice will be disappointed to hear that Killarney on Ice will not return for a second year.
Following its huge popularity year on year since returning to Killarney in 2015, the promoters of Killarney on Ice are disappointed to confirm that they are unable to operate again this year.
Rising case numbers, uncertain COVID-19 restrictions, and insurance challenges have been the main drivers behind the decision not to open, according to the company.
As Kerry’s only festive ice rink, the facility has brought much fun and life to the town over the years, attracting thousands of people from all over the county, and indeed the whole country, with many families coming to stay overnight in Killarney and enjoying all that this great town has to offer.
As well as friends and families coming to skate, schools, youth clubs, sports teams and employees of local companies use the group booking discount rate to plan sessions on the ice, and Killarney on Ice would like to thank them all for their continuing loyalty.
“We sincerely hope to be back better and stronger in 2022, and we look forward to welcoming all of our valued customers," Tim O’Donoghue, the promoter of the rink, told the Killarney Advertiser.
"In the meantime, we wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.”
