Riverdance is back at Killarney’s INEC

For over two decades, nothing has carried the energy, the sensuality and the spectacle of the international Irish dancing phenomenon, Riverdance. Having played over 11,500 performances to over 25 million people throughout 47 countries, the stage spectacular comes to the INEC for a limited run September 12–16.

On April 30, 1994 as the interval act of the Eurovision Song Contest, a worldwide audience of over 300 million saw the birth of Riverdance. The seven-minute performance earned a standing ovation from the 4,000-strong audience. This ahead of its time dance piece was then developed into a full stage show by producer Moya Doherty, composer Bill Whelan and director John McColgan.

With its fusion of Irish and international music and dance, Riverdance broke all box office records during its world premieres in Dublin, London and New York and continued to set new records in packed theatres and arenas throughout the world.

Staying true to its roots, Riverdance returns to Killarney with a rejuvenated show this summer. Featuring the unbelievable talent of the Riverdance Lead Dancers, the Riverdance Irish Dance Troupe, the live Riverdance Band and International artists from Russia, Spain and the USA, the show is guaranteed to mesmerise audiences of all ages and culture.

The smash hit show will commence its run in the INEC on September 12. For further information please visit www.inec.ie or contact Ceara Scanlon on 064 66 71531 or at ceara.scanlon@inec.ie.

A Tipperary woman is going to attempt to climb Carrauntoohil three times in one day to raise money for a sick child.

Nikita Conlon from Roscrea is a personal trainer and care assistant who has been working in health care for 18 years.

While working at the Milford Care Centre she met the family of Noah Quish. The six-year-old from Monaleen, Limerick was born with serious health issues ranging from a heart defect, severe laryngomalacia, severe sleep apnoea, scoliosis and chromosome deletion.

‘I worked in the Milford Care Centre for five years where I met Una Quish, Noah’s mam, so I felt the need to do something to help his family. I decided to set up this fundraiser.
“I plan to set off at midnight on Friday October 6, and hope to finish at 5 pm on Saturday.

“I have previously Climbed Kilimanjaro in February 2023 and raised over €6000 for the Dean Maxwell Nursing Home in Roscrea,” she said.

“My whole life I have felt the need to help others and now it’s time to help Noah and I need the support to help him.

“This challenge is not going to be easy but I am going to give it my all.

“I have experienced hikers coming along on the day.’

Her plan is to leave Cronin’s Yard at midnight and to return to the starting point at 4.30 am. She will restart at 5 am from the bottom of the Devil’s Ladder. By 10 am on Saturday she hopes to have started her third and final lap.
