Students from St Brigid’s Secondary School host an art exhibition at Killarney Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht and Media on New Road.

'Personal Reflections' is an exhibition by Transition and fifth year students at the school.

This Exhibition is a collaboration of two projects, 'Artist in Schools' funded by a Kerry Arts Council, and 'Creative Engagement' funded by NAPD.

The projects were delivered by Artist and Art Director of the Art House, Tracy Sexton, and supported by Art Teachers Alice Quilter and Fiona Archibald.

Both Projects aimed to enhance students' art experience by developing their artistic skills, creativity, and personal expression through the process of drawing and painting.

“'Personal Reflections' offers a captivating exploration into the intertwining realms of Portraiture, Still Life and Personal Identity. Through self-portraits and objects, this exhibition delves into the complexities of how individuals perceive themselves and how they are perceived by others. Each painting reveals a personal narrative, inviting viewers to reflect on their own identity and the identities of those around them. From the striking gaze of a portrait to the quiet elegance of a still life, each piece serves as a mirror, inviting expression, introspection, and connection,” said Jer Lyons Acting PR Coordinator at St Brigid's.

The exhibition will launch on May 8 at 7.00 pm and will continue until May 24.

The Killarney Local Injury Clinic is expected to be open by Q3 2026, according to the HSE. The proposed unit will be located on the grounds of St Columbanus Home.

The timeline was confirmed in response to a Parliamentary Question from Fianna Fáil TD Michael Cahill, who said the project will follow the relocation of the Community Nursing Unit from its current site to the grounds of the old St Finan’s Hospital. Once the transfer is complete, construction of the injury clinic can proceed.
Deputy Cahill described the two new health facilities as “a fantastic addition for Killarney and the wider East, Mid, and South Kerry regions” and noted they will help reduce waiting times at University Hospital Kerry A&E.
“I will continue to push for enhanced health services for our people,” added the Fianna Fáil Spokesperson for Older People.
The new clinic is expected to provide urgent care services for local residents, easing pressure on hospital emergency departments and improving access to timely treatment in the Killarney area.

Boxer Kevin ‘The Kingdom Warrior’ Cronin received a warm homecoming in Jimmy O’Brien’s Bar on College Street on Sunday evening following his victory in Dublin last weekend, where he was crowned Irish Light Heavyweight Champion.

Mayor of Killarney Cllr Martin Grady was on hand to officially welcome the new champion home, congratulating him on what he described as “a proud moment for Killarney and for Kerry sport.”
Cronin, who is sponsored by Jimmy O’Brien’s Bar, claimed the vacant national title after a hard-fought ten-round battle against Cork’s Cathal Crowley at the National Stadium, Dublin, on Friday night last.
The Kerry fighter won by majority decision, with the judges scoring the contest 95-94, 97-93 and 95-95. The result capped off years of dedication and hard work for Cronin, who now holds an 11-3-1 professional record.
Speaking at the homecoming, Cronin thanked his supporters and sponsors for their backing throughout his career.
“It’s unbelievable to bring this title to Kerry,” he said. “The support from home means everything. This one’s for everyone who’s been with me from the start.”
Crowds packed into Jimmy O’Brien’s Bar to celebrate the achievement, with music, photos and plenty of local pride on display.
