A fun trivia night to help raise funds for a local school is taking place next week and all are invited to take part.

A large crowd is expected for the Tiernaboul National School event on Thursday next (March 9) in The Killarney Heights Hotel.

Have your answers on the tip of your tongue as the quiz night begins 7.30pm.

It's being organised in conjunction with the school's Parents Council. Quizmaster on the night will be Niall 'Botty' O'Callaghan. Tables of four are €40 and there will be cash prizes for the winners as well as a raffle.

Principal of the school Maria Breen and the chairperson of the Parents Council Mary O'Doherty have said that interest is very high in the local community and they are hoping this will ensure a big crowd on the night.

"All are welcome to this very worthwhile fundraising event with all the proceeds going to the school to purchase much needed resources for the children," Maria said. "It promises to be a great night."

A local cafe in Killarney is hosting an event to celebrate cherished sporting memories in Killarney.

The event is taking place in Clann Housing, Coill na Darrach on June 28 and it is part of the wider Alzheimer Society of Irelands sporting memories initiative.

There will be stories, photographs, and memorabilia shared on the day.

The Alzheimer Society of Ireland is organising a sporting memories initiative which aims to harness the power of sport to spark memories and create connections with people living with dementia.

John Don O’Donoghue, who is a joint organiser of the event, is emphasising the importance of events like these for those who suffer with dementia.

He said: “They offer people, especially older adults and those living with dementia, a meaningful way to reconnect – not just with their memories, but with each other. We’ve seen first-hand how powerful it can be when someone’s face lights up remembering a match, a goal, or a moment they thought was long forgotten.”

All members of the community are welcome to attend and take part. The event is free and guests are encouraged to bring their own photos, memorabilia and stories to share.
