Santa Claus is coming to Spa
Santa is paying a visit to Spa GAA Club later today (Friday).
The Killarney Advertiser can confirm that the man himself will be in the Spa GAA Clubhouse from 5pm until 7.30pm.
It has also been confirmed that Santa has placed an official post box at the entrance to the GAA grounds and kids of all ages can post their Christmas letters there.
It is all part of a series of events organised by Spa GAA in the run up to Christmas Day which is only just over two weeks away now.
“We just wanted to give something back to our members,” Anne Holland, the club’s Coiste n’Óg PRO told the Killarney Advertiser. “It will be run to strict COVID-19 regulations. Each family or child will get a time slot. We are aware that many places in Killarney are booked out so this is our chance to do something for our members. They will know if they are on the naughty or nice list.”
Meanwhile, Spa GAA has also launched its 2022 Club Calendar.
The limited edition calendar can be bought via www.spagaa.com/shop or it will be on sale at the clubhouse during Santa’s visit.
KIFF Film Club to screen Gerry Adams documentary
The Kerry International Film Festival (KIFF) Film Club continues its monthly series next week with a screening of the award-winning documentary, Gerry Adams: A Ballymurphy Man.
The screening will take place on Wednesday, April 22, at 8:00pm at Cinema Killarney. Supported by Screen Ireland, the film club aims to bring modern Irish cinema to local audiences in a relaxed and social environment.
Directed by Trisha Ziff and winner of the Best International Documentary award at the 2025 Galway Film Fleadh, the film offers an intimate and uncensored portrait of the former Sinn Féin leader. Filmed over five years, it traces his journey from a teenage activist in Belfast to a key architect of the Good Friday Agreement, featuring previously unseen archival footage and personal reflections.
