Killarney Gardaí are investigating two separate serious assaults that took place in the town in recent weeks.

The first one, an alleged sexual assault, took place a few weeks ago but was only reported on Friday last.

The alleged attack took place in the grounds of the Church of the Resurrection on Park Road.

“It was only reported a week later after the victim attended a sexual assault treatment unit,” Superintendent Flor Murphy told the Killarney Advertiser. “We sealed off the area and the scene was examined.”

In the early hours of last Thursday morning a rough-sleeper was assaulted on Mission Road.

The man suffered a broken nose in what Superintendent Murphy said was “an unprovoked attack”.

Two young local girls showed great business initiative on Saturday ahead of the Kerry v Donegal match at Fitzgerald Stadium.

Erin McSweeney and Jessie Doolin set up a sweet stall outside a house on Lewis Road, catching the thousands of football fans walking towards the grounds.

The enterprising pair did a busy trade selling soft drinks, sweets, and chocolates to the passing crowds before throw-in.

Their match-day venture also caught the attention of the national sports media, with a photograph of the girls at their stall captured by Sportsfile photographer Stephen McCarthy ahead of the game.

Noel O’Neill has claimed first place in the Unrestricted category of the latest Killarney Camera Club competition, which focused on the theme of the ‘Kerry Landscape’.

His winning photograph, titled ‘Conor Pass Lake and the Three Sisters’, features a detailed study of Mullaghveal located beneath the Conor Pass.

The image captures the wide sweep of the valley, utilizing an elevated viewpoint that allows the glacial landscape to unfold toward the Atlantic horizon. The composition highlights the quiet lakes in the foreground against the dark, rocky slopes of the valley, with the distant outline of the Three Sisters adding further depth and scale to the scene.

The judges praised the photograph as an outstanding example of landscape work, noting its effective balance of composition, light, and perspective to capture the vastness of the West Kerry terrain.
