Kerry County Council is examining several outdoor dining options for Kenmare Place but outdoor pods are not one of them.

 

Last week the Killarney Advertiser revealed that Kenmare Place is going to be the first area of Killarney to benefit from a new outdoor dining scheme. Several different style outdoor dining options are being discussed but the closed in pods are not one of the methods under consideration.

”There are discussions ongoing about the Outdoor Dining Scheme. There are no such pods or structures of that kind proposed or being considered for Killarney,” a Council spokesperson told the Killarney Advertiser.

“Elected members were briefed on Thursday about the scheme and discussions about how to maximise the benefits of the scheme in Killarney are ongoing. More details of what the plans will entail will be published in due course.”

The Killarney Advertiser is happy to clarify the matter.

Two young local girls showed great business initiative on Saturday ahead of the Kerry v Donegal match at Fitzgerald Stadium.

Erin McSweeney and Jessie Doolin set up a sweet stall outside a house on Lewis Road, catching the thousands of football fans walking towards the grounds.

The enterprising pair did a busy trade selling soft drinks, sweets, and chocolates to the passing crowds before throw-in.

Their match-day venture also caught the attention of the national sports media, with a photograph of the girls at their stall captured by Sportsfile photographer Stephen McCarthy ahead of the game.

Noel O’Neill has claimed first place in the Unrestricted category of the latest Killarney Camera Club competition, which focused on the theme of the ‘Kerry Landscape’.

His winning photograph, titled ‘Conor Pass Lake and the Three Sisters’, features a detailed study of Mullaghveal located beneath the Conor Pass.

The image captures the wide sweep of the valley, utilizing an elevated viewpoint that allows the glacial landscape to unfold toward the Atlantic horizon. The composition highlights the quiet lakes in the foreground against the dark, rocky slopes of the valley, with the distant outline of the Three Sisters adding further depth and scale to the scene.

The judges praised the photograph as an outstanding example of landscape work, noting its effective balance of composition, light, and perspective to capture the vastness of the West Kerry terrain.
