The Christmas lights in Killarney will come on one day earlier than planned to coincide with the ceremonial start of the Rentokil-Initial Killarney Historic Rally.
The ceremonial start will take place on Friday, November 26 from 7pm (road closed at 6pm)

The official turning on of the Christmas lights is scheduled for the following Saturday night – November 27 – the same day as the rally.
However, Mayor Marie Moloney, confirmed at Wednesday’s Killarney Municipal District meeting that the lights will be turned on Friday night too in time for the ceremonial start.
“The rally is promoting Killarney,” she said.
