One of Ireland's best loved comedians is set to take to the local stage with a show planned in the INEC Arena this summer. 

Tommy Tiernan will bring his comedic talents to the town on July 15 with his brand new stand up show ‘tomfoolery’, a high energy mix of outrageous ideas and whimsical flights of fancy.

His legendary record-breaking ticket sales extend across the world. He's the star of Channel 4’s hit show 'Derry Girls' and 'Live at the Apollo' (BBC) and the host of his own highly critically praised improvised chat show 'The Tommy Tiernan Show' on RTE 1.

Tommy has been a stand-up comic now for more than 25 years, appeared on countless television shows including The Late Show with David Letterman three times and has had his own one hour special broadcast on Comedy Central USA.

Not only has he performed in far flung places like Moscow and Moosejaw but he’s also toured every nook and cranny of the 32 counties of Ireland north and south from Tory Island to the Wexford Opera House.

He’s been accused of blasphemy in the Irish senate, voted Ireland's funniest living person and hailed by Billy Connolly as one of his three favourite comedians in the world.

Tickets from €35 on sale tomorrow (Thursday) at 10am from www.ticketmaster.ie and from local venues.

The Allianz Cumann na mBunscoil South Kerry hurling finals took place in brilliant sunshine at the Kilgarvan GAA pitch on Monday, May 25.

In the Division 1 final, Holy Family National School Rathmore secured a fine victory over St. John’s National School Kenmare following a keenly fought and exciting encounter.

There was very little between the sides at halftime, but Holy Family opened up a gap in the third quarter and finished with a brace of late goals to seal the win on a scoreline of 6-5 to 3-3.

Pádraig O’Sullivan, Matthew O’Riordan, and James Buckley put in stand-out performances for the Rathmore side, while the work rate of Gavin Murphy, Dylan Moynihan, and Paddy O’Connor proved crucial to the win.

St. John’s Kenmare fought hard throughout, with Kori Walsh keeping the defence tight alongside Sean Tagney, Tristan Healy Kruis, and Timmy O’Sullivan, while Danny O’Sullivan, Cillian Kelleher, and Donie Lynch led the Kenmare attack.


The Division 2 title went to hosts Kilgarvan National School following a highly competitive three-team blitz that also featured Knockaderry National School and newcomers Scoil Ignáid Rís from Dingle.


Kilgarvan topped the group after some fantastic displays, with Séimí Tuohy performing excellently outfield and making crucial saves to relieve teammate Charlie Delaney, who did an equally superb job in goal. Knockaderry National School battled hard with Aidan Barry and Andrew Daly very much to the fore, while Danny Ó Brosnacháin made outstanding saves in goal and Harry Ó Conchúir worked tirelessly in midfield for the Dingle outfit.


Following their regional victories, Holy Family National School Rathmore alongside Kilgarvan National School will now advance to the county sections to represent South Kerry.
