Commenting on the event, Teresa Heeney, CEO of Early Childhood Ireland said: “Having had to cancel last year’s event, we are so delighted to be bringing National Pyjama Day back again this year. It is fantastic to have over 1000 services across the country taking part and despite the challenges that Covid-19 has thrown at them, they have shown that they are willing to join in and put their support behind this initiative which will raise vital funds for children with additional needs and help hundreds of families in communities right across the country.
“The annual event is always a fun and playful day for the children and staff with special activities and challenges happening throughout the day. There will be pillow fights, storytelling, teddy bear picnics and more! This will be our 18th year to run the fundraiser, and we are so grateful to the children and parents who get involved and the event couldn’t happen without the efforts of the childcare settings who work hard to make it all possible on the day.”
TO mark UN World Toilet Day which takes place Friday, November 19, the Think Before You Flush campaign are asking the people of Kerry to value your toilet.
Tomorrow highlights awareness of the 3.6 billion people worldwide living without access to safely managed sanitation.
The campaign addresses the issue of flushing unsuitable items down the toilet and highlights the consequences: blockages in our wastewater network and treatment plants; surface water overflows; and sewage related litter on our beaches and in our oceans, damaging our marine environment.

Think Before You Flush is a public awareness campaign operated by Clean Coasts in partnership with Irish Water.
Recent research has found that one in four adults (24%) regularly admit to flushing items down the toilet that are known to cause blockages, causing detrimental effects on the wastewater network and the marine environment.
They are asking people to look after our environment by only flushing the 3 P’s: pee, poo and paper.
To celebrate World Toilet Day, Think Before You Flush are giving away a year’s supply of sustainable toilet paper. To enter, pledge to Think Before You Flush by heading to www.thinkbeforeyouflush.org.
Speaking about the campaign, Sinead McCoy, Coastal Communities Manager, Clean Coasts said: “There are still so many people across the world that don’t have access to proper sanitation, so for UN World Toilet Day we are asking people of to re-evaluate their flushing behaviour, respect your toilet and Think Before You Flush. Only flush the 3 P’s – pee, paper and poo – down the loo, and pop all other items into the bin. As when other items are flushed they cause issues for our wastewater system and can have a harmful impact on our natural environment.”
.Launching this year’s SVP Tralee Christmas Toy Appeal were Marion Moore of SVP, Ruairì Fry International Youth Rep IRL for SVP, Treasa Walsh of SVP Tralee and Sharon Sheehan of Toys Upstairs in Rock Street.
ST Vincent de Paul Tralee has teamed up with Toys Upstairs Toymaster Tralee for the third year in a row, to help bring joy to less advantaged children this Christmas.
The toy shop, located above Kellihers Hardware on Rock Street, took up the mantle of holding the appeal two years ago, after the retirement of Ann Laide and closure of Caballs Toymaster in June of 2019.
People can call in to buy and pay for vouchers over the phone. The vouchers will be used to pay for the toys children requested on their letter to Santa, seen by the folks at SVP, so they will get what they asked for on Christmas morning.

“Demand is high for St Vincent de Paul’s services in the Tralee area,” said Treasa Walsh of SVP Tralee.
“Hopefully Santa’s bag will be full and people will tune into their inner child to help with donations. With the public’ help, on Christmas morning we will know that we have been a ‘Secret Santa’ to very happy children.”
“We are very grateful for any and all the support we get from the public a huge thank you and please God we will all have a safe and joyful Christmas,” said Treasa.

KELLIHERS Toyota in Tralee will launch not one, not two, but three new initiatives this weekend!
Firstly they launch their 221 sales offers which include free servicing packs, trade-in, scrappage and diesel conversion boosters to add to some mouth watering trade in prices.
Second, to celebrate Kellihers Toyota new franchise agreement for the whole of the Kingdom they are moving lock, stock and barrell, cars, cruisers, marquees, offers and anything else they can bring to the Gleneagle in Killarney this coming Sunday, to offer and demonstrate the world of Hybrid and the fascinating benefits both technological, financial and practical that self charging electrification brings – and at an affordable price.
Finally, Kellihers love Kerry GAA — both hurling and football. Tim Kelliher remembers going to the games in Croke Park in the 70s and they remain avid supporters of local GAA since.
However, they have now come on board with a groundbreaking five year associate sponsorship agreement with Kerry GAA to become the ‘Kerry GAA Car In The Kingdom’.
“The practical, environmental and financial benefits of hybrid are there for everybody to experience and we are proud and delighted to be able to bring and demonstrate the new generation Toyota Hybrid product to the whole county whether north, south, east or west,” said Tim Kelliher of Kellihers Toyota.
“Our 5-year agreement with Kerry GAA gives Kellihers an opportunity to give a little back to our county and we expect both codes will develop a ‘hybrid game plan’ which will surely guarantee success! We invite the public to call in, chat to us, be inquisitive about hybrid and take a test drive in a relaxed local environment.”
On Friday, at the dealership in Rathass, they launch their hybrid demonstration weekend with all participants getting the chance of winning €2000 off their new Toyota purchase.
At noon, the Kerry GAA players will attend as well, as Kerry GAA officials, to launch their 5-year associate sponsorship agreement.
On Saturday the fun and deals continue with anyone taking a test drive or expressing an interest of purchasing a new Toyota, being given an ‘EXTRA LAUNCH SPECIAL DEAL’ and there’s free year’s road tax for the first 10 sold on the day.
Finally, they will move their full hybrid range to the Gleneagle Hotel grounds in Killarney for the ‘Sunday Killarney Hybrid Extravaganza’ with another €2000 prize to be won, celebrity hybrid demonstrations and not forgetting that exceptional special trade-in price for attendees on the day.
Expressions of interest will close on Sunday afternoon at around 4pm, so that should give everybody plenty of time to chat to the team from Kellihers.
Hurlers and footballers from the kingdom will of course also attend. Technical demonstrations and explanations will continue right throughout the weekend.
You’d never know, you might even get a spin in a Toyota Hybrid with sporting hero, paralympian Jordan Lee!
Also, for three days only, Kellihers announce the arrival of the incredible YARIS GR for viewing in Tralee on Friday and Saturday and in Killarney on Sunday. It’s all happening at Kelliher’s this weekend!
