Following an absence of four years the Models in Recovery Fashion Show returned this week. What is unique about this event is that all models are in recovery from different forms of cancer.

“This year’s Fashion Show was a resounding success. It was the largest crowd ever at this unique show. All models in recovery from cancer strutted the finest of finery from the leading boutiques and shops in Killarney,” said PRO Cathal Walshe

“The organising committee of Killarney branch of Kerry Hospice wish to thank everybody who contributed to the success of what was wonderful night of entertainment, Liam O'Connor and his talented family, MC extraordinaire Noel Cunningham, all who donated prizes, Fiona O'Connor of the INEC, the enthusiastic audience and all behind the scenes who put things together.

Spa GAA and the Kerry Parents & Friends Association are among the Kerry organisations to benefit from the SE Systems Community Fund Programme 2025.

Both groups have been announced as successful applicants for the national energy grant funding scheme, which supports community and sports organisations in delivering sustainable, energy-efficient projects that help reduce running costs.
The fund, launched in 2022, provides financial assistance, technical resources, and expert guidance to not-for-profit organisations working to improve energy efficiency and sustainability.
For Spa GAA, the funding will go towards a full insulation retrofit of the club’s Sports Hall and Clubhouse, as well as upgrading existing floodlights to new energy-efficient LED fittings. The project follows the installation of a Solar PV system earlier this year, continuing the club’s move toward greater energy conservation.
Speaking at the official funding announcement in Cork, James Cahill of Spa GAA thanked SE Systems “for supporting the power of sport and recreation to bring people together, promote healthy lifestyles and build connections in the community.”
Spa GAA has also been selected as one of three clubs nationally to feature in SE Systems’ print media campaign promoting the Community Fund.
