The Black Sheep Cafe opens its doors

Coffee fans are in for a real treat today as The Black Sheep Cafe opens its doors for the very first time. Located in Unit 1, New Market Lane (where Plan B used to be), the cafe will serve speciality coffee, loose leaf tea, pancakes and smoothies.

The project is the brainchild of Kevin Leahy, proprietor of the hugely successful Black Sheep Hostel and Richard Ivan from the classy Curious Cat Wine Bar.

“I’m a fan of coffee but it’s more the coffee culture that I like,” Kevin explains. “We want to create that cafe vibe, and it’ll be a venue where we can have gigs as well. We want to do something a bit different. We’ve also got our own brand of coffee with two different types of beans: one from Costa Rica and one from Guatemala.”

Staff at The Black Sheep Cafe have been perfecting their skills under the guidance of a barista trainer so customers can expect a truly authentic cafe experience.

New Market Lane has become a vibrant little corner of the town and this new cafe is sure to be an excellent addition. Doors officially opened at 8.30am yesterday morning. Best of luck to Kevin and Richard in their new venture.

Students from St Brendan’s College have given €600 to Kerry Hospice.

The money was raised from their book, ‘Futures from the Past’ which was published in April 2024.
Teacher Mary Denise Lyons and students Divo Lucic Kovacevii, Michéal McElligott, and Jaroslav Stetsenko handed over the funds to Cathal Walshe of Kerry Hospice.
‘Futures from the Past’ is a book written by current and retired writers, as well as students from St Brendan’s College.
This donation is the second from the book, with €800 donated last year and €600 this year.
The book was created to allow students to use their imaginations to explore the past and think about the future. It involved students from Poetry Ireland’s Writers-In-Schools Programme and adult learners from Kerry Education & Training Board’s Community Education Creative Writing group.
The book was launched at St Brendan’s College in April last year and was made possible with support from Poetry Ireland and the Arts Office of Kerry County Council.
‘Futures from the Past’ is available for sale at St Brendan’s College for €9.

School Dayz

Transition Year students at Killarney Community College spent last Tuesday learning the skills to become baristas.

They completed a full-day training course and are now qualified to make coffee, which could make them very employable in local cafes and restaurants this summer.
Their teachers, who are described as the school’s “resident coffee experts,” were impressed with the students’ hard work and enjoyed the lattes, cappuccinos, and Americanos the students made throughout the day.
In addition to their barista training, the TY students also took a trip to Mallow. There, they learned about the rules of the road, practiced the driver theory test, and many got behind the wheel of a car for the first time. They also learned about the dangers of speeding and driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs.
