Three generations of the O’Connor family completed the 5km course together at Killarney House and Gardens last Saturday.
Grandfather Mike, his son Jeremiah, and grandson Brian all participated in the weekly event. Organisers noted that the family’s participation shows what parkrun is about, as the event is open to people of all ages and abilities.
The free weekly 5k community event takes place every Saturday morning at 9:30am sharp in the Killarney House gardens (V93HE3C). Members of the public are welcome to walk, jog, run, volunteer, or spectate.
Spa GAA has finalised a deal with Cork-based renewable firm ePower to install two electric vehicle (EV) charging points at its club grounds in Killarney.
The move makes the club one of the very first GAA organisations in County Kerry to provide dedicated, on-site charging infrastructure for drivers.
The dual-socket units will be situated directly within the club’s main car park, offering charging accessibility to members, visiting supporters, and patrons.
The new ePower facilities are designed to support local EV drivers and visitors traveling to the club’s various sporting events throughout the season.
