Share your memories of Killarney House

THE floodgates of memory opened last weekend when Killarney House hosted a “memories collection day” to gather stories, photographs and mementoes.

The day was extremely successful, said Killarney House & Gardens manager Pat Dawson. "There was a significant quality of information and the memories were really superb,” he said.

It is hoped to create an oral history surrounding Killarney House and the team there would love to hear from you if you have any memories you would like to share – particularly relating to John and Mary McShain, their daughter Sister Pauline, Beatrice Grosvenor, and Lord Castlerosse.

“I would like to thank all the people who came out on Saturday in spite of the bad weather. We are open from 8.30am to 6pm and get in touch with either myself or any member of staff,” added Pat. You can also phone Pat on 087-2180598 or 064-66 770142 or email pat.dawson@chg.gov.ie

The Dóchas Drama Group will run a series of short plays at the Muckross Schoolhouse from December 5 to 7.

The group’s annual performance has been switched to the Muckross venue as its traditional base – the ballroom in the Killarney Avenue Hotel is being refurbished.

“If you are fed up with the incessant rain and constant bad news. Do you need a break? Are tired of listening to advice about your Christmas cake recipe? There is a perfect solution,” said the group’s Liz Ryan.

“We will present six short plays and some of the questions you may ask yourself are: 

“Why is Jane suddenly so honest?

“What did happen on December 9. Will Tiffany be promoted? Will Mags eventually find love?

“Can lost love be re-kindled? What do grandparents get up to when they’re babysitting?

For answers to these questions and more, come along to Muckross Schoolhouse on December 5, 6 and 7.”
