We offer our sincere thanks to the journalists, photographers, design, sales and admin staff who have contributed their expertise to making these two quality magazines unfailingly popular in the local community over the past number of years.

We appreciate the ever-loyal support of our readers and advertisers, in Kerry we continue to welcome news items and advertising for The Killarney Outlook.”
