It was one of the great '90s films - and now it's live on stage locally as Sister Act – the Musical takes to the INEC tonight (Tuesday).

The 1992 American comedy film starred Whoopi Goldberg as nightclub singer Deloris Van Cartier who was forced to take refuge from the mob in a convent - and the results are hilarious.

Now, her character Sister Mary Clarence and co will take to the Gleneagle INEC Arena from tonight and every night until this Saturday (February 4).

Don’t miss this eagerly anticipated brand new production of the Broadway and UK smash hit musical direct from London.

All your prayers have been answered with a stunning cast including West End sensation and Hairspray star Lizzie Bea and Emmerdale and Waitress legend Sandra Marvin as Deloris, everyone’s favourite nun on the run!

Disco diva Deloris’ life takes a surprising turn when she witnesses a murder. Placed under protective custody she is hidden in the one place she shouldn’t be found – a convent! Encouraged to help the struggling choir, she helps her fellow sisters find their true voices as she unexpectedly rediscovers her own.

Featuring original music by Tony® and eight-time Oscar® award-winner Alan Menken (Disney’s Aladdin, Enchanted) and songs inspired by Motown, soul and disco, this heavenly musical is joyous and uplifting in equal measures. A musical sent from above, Sister Act is the brilliant, must-see show which raises the spirits and warms the soul time after time.

Stage and Stalls (Friday and Saturday and all shows after early bird) from €48.65.

Balcony, Upper Balcony, Side Balconies from €44.05 (Friday and Saturday and all shows after early bird)

Rare freshwater turtle spotted in Killarney National Park

A non-native freshwater turtle has been spotted basking on the banks of the Lakes of Killarney near Dinis.


The unexpected sighting was made by local Green Party representative Diarmuid Griffin, who works as a tour boat driver for Ross Castle Boat Tours.


Mr Griffin first spotted the terrapin on Monday, August 31, while navigating passengers through the Meeting of the Waters area.

Recent rainfall had raised water levels sufficiently to reopen the boat route near Dinis, which had previously been closed due to dry conditions.


Unable to secure a photo during the initial encounter, Mr Griffin returned to the same basking spot the following day, Tuesday, September 1.

He maneuverred the boat into position, allowing a passenger to take photographic evidence of the reptile.


Freshwater turtles and terrapins are not native to Ireland, with such species typically introduced to wild waterways through released or escaped pets.

National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) staff have been informed of the location to monitor the area and determine how the animal made its way into Loch Léin.
