Retired ESB Kerry staff complete guided walk on Ross Island

Retired staff members of the Electricity Supply Board in Kerry took part in a guided autumn woodland and lake shore walk on Ross Island in Killarney on October 22, the Maine Valley Post reported. The tour was led by Michael O'Sullivan, who is a poet, folklorist, historian, and naturalist, according to participant Michael Guerin. [1]

The guided walk made several stops across Ross Island, including the Copper Mines, The Governor's Rock, and The Point of the Library, according to the Maine Valley Post. Participants on the tour included Hilda Doody, Rita O'Leary, Martina Hickey, Kate Mulcahy, Fiona Lonergan, Aine Guerin, Breda Walsh, Aileen Quirke, Gerard Deenihan, and Kieran. [1]

Killarney is a town in County Kerry located on the northeastern shore of Lough Leane, which forms part of Killarney National Park. The town is home to historic landmarks such as Ross Castle, Muckross House, and the Lakes of Killarney. [4]

The event adds to recent activity in the town. As FTMQ News reported earlier, President Catherine Connolly opened the five-day Oireachtas na Samhna Irish language festival at the Gleneagle Arena in Killarney, while local roadworks on the R876 were moved to overnight shifts to ease traffic congestion.
