A major fundraiser - where one lucky winner will bag themselves a house in Killarney - is being launched today (Friday).

The brand new four bedroom semi-detached house - worth over €350k - is located in the heart of Killarney town.

And as well as a house up for grabs, there is a total of 10 prizes ranging from a €5k cash to very generous hotel vouchers in the vibrant town.

It's all part of a major fundraising drive by Ardfert Community Council who will use the funds raised for a much needed development in the centre of Ardfert Village which will consist of an All-Weather astro pitch, a full size grass pitch, an athletics compound, wall ball area, multi-discipline sports and community hall, and a public perimeter jogging and walking track.

Tickets, which are €100 each and expected to sell out fast, are limited to the first 10k people. And the lucky winner will get the keys to their fabulous new house on St Patrick's Day 2021.

"We are delighted to be commencing our fundraiser for our all-inclusive community sports and recreational facility in Ardfert, and we feel there is no better place in the world to win a house than the beautiful town of Killarney," Declan Raggett from the fundraising committee told the Killarney Advertiser.

Ardfert Community Council would like to take this opportunity to thank all their very generous sponsors, especially Horgan's Centra Ardfert and Atlantic Oils who sponsored the €5,000 cash prize, he added.

Tickets can be bought in Daly's SuperValu Killarney, Horgan's Centra Ardfert, Ardfert Post Office and also Garvey's SuperValu Tralee and of course online at www.winahouseinkillarney.com where you can get more details and the T&Cs.
