The eyes are the first area to show signs of ageing so it's important to help prevent this - or reverse it - depending on your age and skincare routine to date.

The first and most important advice would be to wear sunglasses always as premature ageing from the sun and squinting can cause damage.

Secondly, use a specific eye make-up remover as this area is very delicate.

Thirdly, apply a fantastic eye cream or eye gel twice daily. I recommend Sothys Radiance Eye Cream to combat circles, wrinkles and dark spots.

Finally it's important to have an eye facial, especially if you haven't been having facials regularly, are 25 and over and want to keep your eyes looking young, or aged 45 plus and you want to correct the signs of ageing, wrinkles, dark circles and puffiness.

It's also good if you're affected by screen light exposure, sleepless nights due to hormonal changes or late nights out.

The new CACI eye revive treatment is for everyone concerned with ageing eyes. It will help to lift and tighten the skin around the eyebrows and corners of eyes, reduce the puffiness under the eyes, and reduce fine lines and hooded eyelids. With the dual action of LED light therapy, the micro-current energy stimulates tissue regeneration and helps the production of collagen. The synergy of these two technologies provide visible and longer lasting results.

The treatment itself is very relaxing, takes 45 minutes and focuses on the eye area. It starts with the lifting of the brow muscles, smoothing the fine lines at the corners of the eyes (crow's feet) and draining build up of fluid and lymph under the eyes. We then use specific serum filled eye rollers with micro-current which have a cooling effect on the skin to gently tighten and tone sagging muscles around the eye area, whilst reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It's finished with a silicone mask infused with hyaluronic acid and we use a galvanic current to push in the serum and hold it in the deeper layers of skin. It's very refreshing and brightens the skin.

How will our Kerry TDs vote tomorrow?

Tomorrow, Sinn Féin will be tabling a motion of no confidence against the Government after the protests that took place nationwide during the week.

Earlier today we asked our readers how would they vote in a no confidence motion against the Government?

Most of our readers said they would vote no confidence, while some said, yes they do have confidence in the Government.

One reader said: “Vote confidence. The only proper leadership over the last few days came from government. Courage came when needed despite how unpopular it looked in the moment. By contrast, opposition politicians wanted the country to burn to suit themselves”.

Another reader stated: “No confidence. Shambolic and heavy handed handling of protests this past week”.

However, some people didn’t have any confidence in either side with a reader saying: “No confidence in the no confidence! Different wings of the same bird! We need a complete overhaul of the political system”.

We asked the question to our 5 Kerry TDs before lunch-time today, asking them what their vote will be tomorrow.

We received one reply from Sinn Féin’s Kerry TD Pa Daly.

He will be voting no confidence in the Government tomorrow along with his party.

Other media outlets are reporting that Independent TD Danny Healy-Rae is undecided at the moment.

A Killarney-based software company is celebrating two years in business since expanding into the European market.

QT9 Software Ltd, which is located on Bohereencaol was established in 2024 as part of the company’s move to better serve customers across Europe.

The business is part of a US-based company founded 20 years ago in Chicago by Brant Engelhart.

Its Irish office is headed by Killarney resident Angela O’Sullivan, who serves as Operations Director.

QT9 Software currently employs four full-time staff members in Killarney and plans to increase that number by an additional two this year.

The company provides quality management software to businesses worldwide, with the Irish office helping to support European customers within their own time zones.

As part of its continued European expansion, the software company also opened a new data center in Amsterdam in 2025 to meet data storage and compliance requirements.

QT9 Software works with businesses that must meet quality standards such as ISO 9001 and ISO 13485, as well as industry-specific regulations across sectors, such as automotive, aerospace, food and life sciences.

Speaking about the milestone, Angela O’Sullivan said: “We’re very proud to have grown QT9 Software here in Killarney over the past two years. It has been a really positive journey so far, and we’re looking forward to continuing to build our team and support more customers across Europe.”

The company is also currently recruiting for an IT Systems Administrator, with details available in the appointments section on page 46.
