The O’Leary brothers, performing as The Three O’s Male Vocal Group, have raised €1,055 for the MS South Kerry Branch following their annual Christmas concert.

The event, held on December 23 marked over a decade of continuous support from the brothers for the charity.
Derek, Karl, and Conor O’Leary started the tradition to honour the memory of their late mother, who lived with Multiple Sclerosis for nearly 30 years before passing away in 2011. The brothers organised the event as a way to thank the MS South Kerry Branch for the support provided to their mother and family throughout her illness.
“The MS South Kerry Branch were always there for our mother and for us,” said Derek. “By running this event every year, we hope we can give back in some small way and help other families going through the same struggles we once did”.
The funds raised will assist the South Kerry Branch in providing vital services, including therapy, transport assistance, and respite care for local families living with MS. The brothers expressed their gratitude to the local community for their continued generosity over the last ten years.

Musical Society thanks community after success of ‘All Shook Up’

Following a sold-out run of their latest production, All Shook Up, Killarney Musical Society has expressed its gratitude to the local community for their support.

The high-energy show, which took place at the Gleneagle Arena two weeks ago, marked another successful chapter in the society’s 40-year history.
The society extended particular thanks to the O’Donoghue family and the staff of the Gleneagle Arena for providing a professional-standard venue and technical expertise.
They also acknowledged the Loreto school for facilitating the cast and crew during their lengthy rehearsal period.
A spokesperson for the society praised the dedication of the backstage crew, sponsors, and patrons, describing their contribution as the “backbone” of the production.
“Your contributions allowed us to bring this vibrant show to life and maintain the high standards our audiences have come to expect,” the society stated.
The society also highlighted the energy of the local audiences who filled the arena each night. The success of the run was attributed to the collective effort of the cast, production team, orchestra, and front-of-house volunteers.
