It’s Killarney’s only dedicated sports recovery suite and it’s set to launch today (Saturday).

Business owner and Killarney Advertiser Business Development Manager, Chris Davies, has partnered with local businessman Cormac Casey, the Killarney Advertiser and KC Print on this new venture. Chris is delighted to finally get the doors to Reboot Recovery Suite open, and although it was a slow process, he is happy with the end result.

“Work started on the business in April with an opening date of June in mind,” Chris said.

“Here we are seven months later and we are just about ready to open the doors. As anyone who has set up a new business would know, there is always a few unexpected road blocks along the way, but the end product was worth it. It was important to do it right and I wanted to create a space that is both comfortable and welcoming, and I think we have that now.”

Reboot Recovery Suite is fitted out to a high standard and boasts market leading recovery equipment.

“We tried not to cut corners and it was important to source the best recovery equipment. Our cold water immersion CryoSpa is employed by the likes of AC Milan, Bayern Munich, Brooklyn Nets, Manchester United, even US tennis champion Emma Raducanu was pictured using the spa earlier in the year. Other equipment such as our Normatec Compression Boots have been endorsed by NBA stars LeBron James and Kevin Durant.”

RECHARGE

The goal was to create a space for sports and fitness enthusiasts to meet and recharge after high intensity training and competitions.

“For a town of our size, Killarney has a huge sporting community. Between soccer and GAA alone I’d say there are about 10 clubs within a 20km radius of our recovery suite. Add athletics, rugby, cycling, combat sport etc into the mix and you have a lot of people who are interested in maintaining and getting the best out of their body. We also have some of the best gyms in Ireland right on our doorstep and there is no doubt all their members take training and recovery seriously. Reboot Recovery Suite is a place where all these people can come to reduce the risk of injury and help them perform to their maximum potential. Even for people who don’t play sport, our recovery suite is beneficial for those who suffer with muscle and joint soreness, fatigue or those just looking to unwind after a long walk or hike in the park.”

Chris believes that sport, even at amateur level, is taken much more seriously now than it was 10 or 15 years ago, and a service like this is needed in Killarney.

“I remember when I was in school, lads would be snacking on a chocolate square bar and sipping away on a bottle of Coke at 11am in the morning. Now 16 and 17-year-olds are carrying around 2 litre bottles of water and hitting the gym at lunch. Young people are better educated on how to train and recover now so I think there is definitely an appetite for a dedicated recovery suite like ours.”

Reboot are currently running a competition over on their Instagram account @rebootrecoverysuite where they are giving away one full year’s membership to the lucky winner. Head over for more details on how to enter.

Contactless payments launched on Local Link services

Published

Passengers using TFI Local Link Kerry services in Killarney and across the county can now pay for their journeys using contactless card payments.

The National Transport Authority (NTA) confirmed the rollout this week, allowing commuters to simply tap their debit card, credit card, or mobile devices, such as Apple Pay and Google Pa, when boarding.

The move is designed to offer more convenience for those using high-frequency rural and regional routes.

In Killarney, the new payment option will be available on the TFI Anseo town services, which have seen a significant increase in passenger numbers since their introduction.

The contactless system is currently available for single journey fares, while those using daily or weekly passes can continue to use the Leap website or the TFI Leap Top Up App.
Alan O’Connell, General Manager of TFI Local Link Kerry, welcomed the modernisation of the fleet.

“The introduction of contactless payments is another welcome step forward for public transport in Kerry,” he said. “It complements other major projects in the county, including the expansion of TFI Local Link services and the delivery of TFI Anseo in Killarney, which is proving to be another great initiative.”

While the new technology offers a modern alternative, traditional payment methods are not being phased out. Cash payments, TFI Leap cards, and Free Travel Cards all remains fully valid across the network.

How will our Kerry TDs vote tomorrow?

Published

By

Tomorrow, Sinn Féin will be tabling a motion of no confidence against the Government after the protests that took place nationwide during the week.

Earlier today we asked our readers how would they vote in a no confidence motion against the Government?

Most of our readers said they would vote no confidence, while some said, yes they do have confidence in the Government.

One reader said: “Vote confidence. The only proper leadership over the last few days came from government. Courage came when needed despite how unpopular it looked in the moment. By contrast, opposition politicians wanted the country to burn to suit themselves”.

Another reader stated: “No confidence. Shambolic and heavy handed handling of protests this past week”.

However, some people didn’t have any confidence in either side with a reader saying: “No confidence in the no confidence! Different wings of the same bird! We need a complete overhaul of the political system”.

We asked the question to our 5 Kerry TDs before lunch-time today, asking them what their vote will be tomorrow.

We received one reply from Sinn Féin’s Kerry TD Pa Daly.

He will be voting no confidence in the Government tomorrow along with his party.

Other media outlets are reporting that Independent TD Danny Healy-Rae is undecided at the moment.
