It definitely was a day of fun for the kids (and also for some of the adults) on Saturday last as they got stuck into an Easter egg hunt.

There were squeals of delight as the youngsters ran to try to gather as many of the hidden eggs around Spa GAA Club.

Some of the local Ukrainian children were invited to participate and between them everyone had a great time.

"Thank you to Pa Murphy, Anne Holland and Paul Casey for organising the Easter egg hunt at the club on Saturday, it was great to see everyone having fun again at our first Easter Egg hunt since 2019," PRO of the club, Deirdre O'Sullivan Darcy, told the Killarney Advertiser.

"We were also delighted to have some of the Ukrainian community joining us on the day and especially to see the younger children playing together and enjoy some fun for the Easter weekend."

Ring of Kerry Cycle to honour founder Paddy O’Donoghue

This year’s Ring of Kerry Charity Cycle, scheduled for July 5, will be run in memory of Paddy O’Donoghue, a founding member of the event.

Mr O’Donoghue, aged 81, from Muckross, passed away following a road collision in Kilgarvan on Tuesday, this week.

Paddy was a retired Kerry County Council engineer, affectionately known as ‘Paddy the Engineer’.

He was a driving force behind the annual charity cycle since its inception in 1982, regularly participating and fundraising for various causes. Beyond his cycling contributions, the Glenflesk native was also a notable footballer, having been part of the East Kerry team that secured the first All-Ireland Senior Football Championship in 1971.

Cathal Walshe, PRO of the Ring of Kerry Cycle said: “On behalf of the Ring of Kerry Charity Cycle I wish to extend sincere sympathy to Brenda and the O’Donoghue family on the sad and sudden loss of Paddy.

“He was a fantastic supporter of the annual charity cycle since it’s inception back in the 80s. A regular participant and wonderful fundraiser for whatever charity he chose. Paddy loved a challenge in whatever he undertook and was the epitome of what the event was all about. We miss the banter and craic but he won’t ever be forgotten. This year’s event will be dedicated to his memory on July the 5th. His likes will never be seen again. Slan Abhaile our friend.”

Tributes have been paid to Mr O’Donoghue, including from his local Glenflesk GAA club, who stated, “Glenflesk GAA would like to offer our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Paddy O’Donoghue on his sad passing. He was a true Glenflesk stalwart as a player, mentor and lifelong supporter.”

Paddy is survived by his wife Brenda, children Florence, Áine, Denise, Brenda, Báirbre, Patrick, and Alice, 17 grandchildren, his brother John, sisters Margaret, Kathleen, and Anna, and a wide circle of relatives and friends.
