Killarney

By Michelle Crean
The amazing act of generosity at the Methodist Church in town means that essential items will be distributed to victims of war torn Ukraine who are suffering at the hands of Russian troops who are continually raining bombs and bullets under Putin&#8217;s orders.
The donations came pouring in last week when Polish nationals living in Killarney, Konrad Paprocki, Iza Dian, and Diana Sobas Gorka, set up the &#8216;Kerry for Ukraine&#8217; Facebook page.
A tractor from Currow filled up with goods and 400 boxes came from Rathkeale were just some of the many which arrived to help. Business from across the town and beyond arrived with food to feed the volunteers.
So far one truck by O&#8217;Neill&#8217;s Transport, has already delivered some of the goods to Poland, and more from Kerry are expected to arrive by early next week.
&#8220;It was a massive response from Killarney and Kerry,&#8221; Konrad told the Killarney Advertiser.
&#8220;Everything is going to be there by next week. We need the goods there as soon as possible. We&#8217;d like to say a big thank you to every single person and business who supported us.&#8221;
