Pop up PCR test centre to open in Killarney on Wednesday morning

By Sean Moriarty
A pop up COVID-19 Testing Centre will be opened by the HSE in Killarney commencing on January 12.
Test, by appointment only, will be offered at St Mary's Parish Hall.
People who are considered ‘longest waiters’ will be offered appointments to attend.
The extraordinary and unprecedented demand for this service experienced over the past week or so, far outstripped the capacity of our test centre in Tralee which is usually in a position to offer swabbing service within 24 hrs of demand,” said Michael Fitzgerald, Chief Officer for Cork/Kerry Community Healthcare.
“With the huge efforts of staff and the deployment of antigen testing to those under 40 in certain circumstances , the waiting list is reducing significantly daily and we would hope to return to a more timely offer of service over the coming days . This pop up centre will assist the local service in Kerry to do so.”
Tests for any Kerry test centre can be booked via this link: https://www2.hse.ie/conditions/covid19/testing/get-tested/

The Dóchas Drama Group will run a series of short plays at the Muckross Schoolhouse from December 5 to 7.
The group’s annual performance has been switched to the Muckross venue as its traditional base – the ballroom in the Killarney Avenue Hotel is being refurbished.
“If you are fed up with the incessant rain and constant bad news. Do you need a break? Are tired of listening to advice about your Christmas cake recipe? There is a perfect solution,” said the group’s Liz Ryan.
“We will present six short plays and some of the questions you may ask yourself are:
“Why is Jane suddenly so honest?
“What did happen on December 9. Will Tiffany be promoted? Will Mags eventually find love?
“Can lost love be re-kindled? What do grandparents get up to when they’re babysitting?
For answers to these questions and more, come along to Muckross Schoolhouse on December 5, 6 and 7.”
