Dancing in Killarney
Summerfest is on in Killarney, and last night Cassandra and Sinnan from our Killarney shop got into the spirit of the Street Performing competition with this little dance. I must admit I took some liberties editing in the people applauding at the end...

Reconstruction
Anyone who’s been reading these pages for long enough knows that ourselves and other Killarney traders had to survive nine horrific months of construction on Main Street (ending in May 2007). What’s amazing is that they are at it again....
High Tea in Killarney
One of the best things to open in Killarney in a long time is Miss Courtney’s Tearooms on College Street. It’s a great addition to the town, I wish her the best of luck, and I would highly recommend to all my readers that they check it...
