We’re all in this together
WELCOME to the future of news.
St Patrick’s Day 2014 was a real landmark date for news and sports reporting in Killarney. At 5.30pm that evening, with an up-to-the-minute report and photographs from the gala town parade, the power button was pressed and we extended a warm and hearty céad míle fáilte to Killarneytoday.com.
It’s an exciting and groundbreaking new online publishing project, a local newspaper without the paper, that reaches into every corner of the world via the magic of the internet.
