    Their are some people in Killarney who know who is selling to the underage and are yet keeping quiet! How come they are not being brought into question here? How come they are not being brought to account for their actions? They are the one's that I primarily take issue with.

    The way it was when I was there age is we just paid an 18 year old or one of the other older looking sixth years to buy it for us. Would not be supprised if it was still the same way.

    It is either that or they are bringing from home. If it is from the middle-man, what I want to know is how come nobody is bringing that person into this conversation. It the drink and drugs wasn't reasily available from them, then the town mightn't be in the state it is with regards the youth.

    I wandered in to this thread because I spent a few days walking around Killarney this week - interesting discussion - When I am king, I'll make all sellers of alcohol micro-dot their wares on the shelves, so that the guards can know who is selling to minors by scanning the cans & bottles that the youngsters are drinking. Microdotting is a cheap technology that works. It mightn't be enough to prosecute shops or remove their licence but it would let the guards know where the teenagers were buying the alcohol and act as a deterrent to the shops.

    I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but I'd like to praise the man wearing the hi-vis vest that I've now seen 3 times in the last couple of weeks on the Tralee Road out of Killarney picking up rubbish from the road side. I've seen him do it in three different locations, so it's not as if he's just picking up rubbish outside his house, and he doesn't work for the council from what I can see as he's on his own without anyone helping him (usually them work in pairs and have a van nearby).

    If only we all could be like this man (says me sitting on my backside!) then our county would be a far better place for ourselves and our visitors.

    Fair play to you sir!

    That man is Cllr Michael Gleeson. He does trojan work around all of Killarney, more often than not all on his own in all weather conditions too.

    Try Julies on High St, across the road from Penneys. €14.50 for a haircut if memory serves me right

    oh, I had just assumed it was someone doing Community Service (of the handed-down-by-the-courts-type, not the voluntary kind) :-)

    What a ledgend, he taught me in primary school and would still stop to have a few words with me in the street.
    also quite possibly one of the most inept councillors aswell, always has good ideas :):)

    But come on, this is really something that should be sorted at home. If your 14 or 15 year old is wandering in pissed at 2am Saturday morning, then you stop leaving them go out Friday night. The cops can't be everywhere, and from what I remember about being a teenager, kids are very good at finding places to drink and smoke weed.
    Well said. Your young lad will do ok!
    If a few more parents did this, then there'd be far less teenagers wrapping cars around trees or ending up dead by canals.

    ... Garda Community Safety Week which ran until Sunday September 26th.

    Community Gardaí engaged with members of the public to deliver a series of crime prevention and community safety messages.

    Kerry events included Community Alert and Neighborhood Watch meetings and the circulation of new crime prevention and community safety advice leaflets to the public.

    from Killarney Advertiser week 39

    More of this type of visibility is needed in my opinion, but for now, well done to all involved.

    Just looking at the Google maps. Is there anyone old enough to remember when Killarney Saddlery at 72 New Street was Our Lady's Nursing Home?
    Half the town was delivered there back in the day.

    I caught bits of it when I was in my parents house earlier.
    I presume that's the cafe place in the national park, I have enjoyed their hospitality in the last couple of years.
