From Monday next, May 18, the five Kerry County Council Civic Amenity Sites will resume the acceptance of cardboard, glass and cans for recycling.

 

Since the imposition of COVID-19 restrictions, services at the Civic Amenity Sites in Killarney, Cahersiveen, Milltown, Lios Póil, and Kenmare, have been limited to the receipt of household waste from those without an existing waste collection service and material for recycling in EcoSense bags.

 

Kerry County Council has begun the phased resumption of normal services at Civic Amenity Sites and has assessed the public safety impact of the resumption of certain services having regard to the Government Roadmap for the Reopening of Society and Business.

 

“The social distancing regime implemented at all sites and the traffic management/queuing systems already in place will continue to be observed and managed and we would ask for patience from all customers at this time as we move to this new phase of reopening certain services,” a spokesperson for Kerry County Council said.

 

The following restrictions continue to apply in the interests of public health and safety:

 

  • Only one occupant per car will be admitted to the sites
  • Only cars will be admitted – no trailers or larger vehicles
  • Payments should be made by credit/debit card where possible
  • Social distancing is to be maintained on all sites at all times

The annual Killarney Regatta Dance took place on September 25 as rowers, families and supporters came together to celebrate their successful year.

The racing was cancelled in September due to bad weather.

The Killarney Regatta is one of Ireland’s oldest rowing events, having first begun in 1788.

The dance took place at the Killarney Oaks Hotel where there was a lot of excitement and fun. Six rowing clubs, Fossa, Workman’s, St Brendan’s, Commercials, Flesk Valley, and Muckross, came together to celebrate the community and its shared history.

Amelia Counihan was crowned as the Regatta Queen.

The Queen represents the spirit pride and grace of the rowing community and has been a tradition in the club for generations.

Workman’s Rowing Club congratulated Amelia and described her as a woman who embodies everything that their tradition stands for.

The club said: “Queen is more than a title — it is a celebration of history, community, and the spirit of Killarney rowing.”
