Halla John L Ó Súilleabháin in Lios Póil will undergo a major makeover over the next few years, and the West Kerry parish is about to set off on a campaign to raise €350,000 to ensure its community centre will continue to serve Lios Póil well for decades to come.
A Kerry football jersey that was signed by last year’s All-Ireland winning Kerry team and now hangs in the snug in Curran’s pub on Main Street was worth over €15,000 to Kerry Hospice when it was raffled at the end of a marathon ticket-selling campaign organised and run by Mary Devane from Lios Póil.
