Killarney

<p>By Sean Moriarty</p>
<h3>Killarney’s Franciscan Friary is the only local outlet to offer Trócaire’s Christmas ‘Gifts of Love’ this year.</h3>
<p>The development agency sells a range of Christmas gifts which allows the charity to provide families in the developing world with clean water, essential tools, livestock and help with education.</p>
<p>There are 17 Trócaire gifts to choose from, such as chicks, beehives and solar lamps, ranging in price from €5 to €1,000.</p>
<p>Trócaire gift packs are available to buy from the Friary office which opens from 9.30am to 5.30pm Monday to Saturday.</p>
<p>“Christmas is a time of giving and we are delighted to offer this service to the people of Kerry,” Fr Eamonn O’Driscoll told the Killarney Advertiser.</p>
<p>The Dubliner, who joined the Killarney Friary last year, can trace his family roots to Valentia Island.</p>
<p>Between 1985 and 1991 he spent five years on a mission in Zimbabwe.</p>
<p>“I have seen first-hand the work of Trócaire,” Fr Eamonn, who celebrated his 70th birthday on Wednesday said.</p>
