EXCLUSIVE

By Sean Moriarty

Killarney Golf and Fishing Club says it is business as usual at the Lackabane Course despite parts of the Killeen Course being under several feet of water after recent heavy rain fall.

The 1st, 10th and 18th holes are particularly affected after rising water from Lough Leane spilled onto parts of the Killeen course.

Staff at the world-famous course are taking the issues in their stride, and while the Killeen Course remains out of bounds until water levels drop, the Lackabane Course and the driving range remain open.

“We can’t do anything about it. The lake is very full,” Sales and Marketing Manager Meg Dalton told the Killarney Advertiser. “February is a quiet month anyway, but our members do enjoy winter golf. We will take it as it comes, we are looking forward to when our season starts properly in April, until then, as the lake drops back we will drop back (to the Killeen course). In the meantime Lackabane is still open.”

Kerry Friends of Motor Neurone (KFMN) was one of seven local charities to receive funding from Ballybunion Golf Club Lady Captain Mags O’Sullivan’s Charity Golf Classic.

At a presentation on October 5, Mags O’Sullivan presented a cheque for €5,000 to KFMN at Ballybunion Golf Club.
The donation was made in memory of her late friend Angela Fahy, a former Lady Captain and President of the club, who passed away from Motor Neurone Disease.
Pat Kelleher and Christy Lehane accepted the cheque on behalf of KFMN and thanked Mags, Lady President Aideen O’Leary, and the organising committee for their generosity and hospitality.
He said the donation will provide vital support for the charity’s ongoing work assisting those living with Motor Neurone Disease in Kerry.
“Fundraising is becoming increasingly difficult, so this contribution makes a real difference,” he said.

There were celebrations at Raheen National School this week as SNA Gráinne Lenihan presented a cheque for €5,302.23 to Principal Joan Mullane, the proceeds from her recent skydiving fundraiser in aid of the school.

Gráinne organised the ‘Her Health, Her Power’ initiative last July, which culminated in her completing a skydive in August to raise funds for Raheen NS. The money will go towards the development of the school pitch and a new perimeter race track for the entire Raheen community.
Pictured at the presentation were members of the parents’ committee Joan Bowler, Máire O’Leary, and Ann Marie Donovan, along with school staff Norrissa O’Donoghue, Conor Coffey, Linda Farrell, and Mark Egan, joined by the delighted students of Raheen NS.
