Stolen bike – but this is no ordinary bike!

STOLEN: Johnny McGuire with the bike.

 

One of Killarney’s best-known bikes has been stolen from outside its owners house on the Park Road this week.

The distinctive woman’s High-Nelly bicycle has been used by the Tidy Towns Killarney group as a promotional vehicle and has appeared in many major events in the town like the St Patrick’s Day Parade.

The bike is owned by Betty O’Farrell. Her son-in-law Johnny Maguire is one of the driving forces behind Tidy Towns Killarney.

The bike features a back-box specially designed for litter picking. It was stolen from the rear of his home on Park Road.

“It is a mystery,” Johnny told the Killarney Advertiser. “All I know is that it is missing and I want it back, or more to the point my mother-in-law wants it back. It is of sentimental value to her. It is 70-years-old and would have a monetary value to a collector, but it’s not something that would be easily sold around Killarney as everyone knows this bike.

Anyone with information can contact Johnny at his Bricín Restaurant on 064 6634902.

Meanwhile, the Killarney Tidy Town Meitheal group are taking a break for a couple of weeks. The hard-working volunteer group meet every Monday evening to litter-pick the streets of Killarney. This Monday evening they will attend annual Mass in Aghadoe, and the following Monday is the Bank Holiday. Normal service will resume on August 12.

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.”
