On Thursday this week contractors working on behalf of Killarney Municipal District and Killarney Chamber of Tourism and Commerce started erecting green and gold flags and buntings all over the town centre.
The Tree Brothers, better known for their emergency work clearing trees during winter storms were in action on a mobile platform throughout the morning.
Operated by brothers Ger and TJ Brosnan from Faha, The Tree Brothers put their height skills to the test as the turned to town into a sea of green and gold.
They were clearly enjoying their new task and were getting a great reaction for locals and tourists as they went about their decoration job.
“It is great craic,” Ger told the Killarney Advertiser. “Everyone is getting in to the spirit of it – we are in an All-Ireland final – everyone is getting behind the team.”

The successes of the Kerry, Munster and All-Ireland Fleadh’s were celebrated with Kilcummin CCÉ members, their families and friends in the clubhouse in Kilcummin on Sunday night.
The talent within the branch was clearly evident with a packed trophies table. Indeed some of the successes over the last number of months were replayed in a relaxed, jovial atmosphere that meant that all attending had a great night’s entertainment.
“We had demonstrations of winning sets across all age groups and then we moved onto the musicians who pulled out all the stops to entertain the large crowd, packed into the clubhouse,” Derek O’Leary, Kilcummin CCÉ PRO, told the Killarney Advertiser.
John Moriarty, who has recently retired from his role of Supervisor with Kilcummin Rural Development was acknowledged with a presentation to reflect the outstanding work that he has done to enhance and grow Kilcummin Comhaltas over his 25 years in his role, he added.
“Much thanks and praise was also offered to Mary, Adrian and Conor Moriarty, all involved in the progression of dancing and music within the Kilcummin branch. The music and entertainment continued with Helen Kerins and Denis Crowley late into the night. We’re looking forward to next year already!”
