New summer menu and experience at the Tan Yard

No need for packed bags and boarding passes, embark on a flight of fancy with the new Taittinger-inspired Summery Light Bites and Effervescent Flights menu at Café du Parc in Killarney.

Each beautiful wooden flight board comes laden with three perfectly chilled tasting glasses of the legendary Champagne house’s most popular sips: Brut Reservé; Prestige Rosé; and Nocturne. Perfect for enjoying alongside some of the new light bites being cooked up in the town centre hotspot’s kitchen. Transport your tastebuds to far flung locations with the eclectic selection of aromas and flavours emanating from: Red Light Thai Curry Mussels; Salmon Sushi Roll with avocado & bonito flakes; Spicy Fried Calamari with lime coriander mayo;

Trio of Croquettes (chorizo and Manchego cheese | chicken | hummus & spinach) served with parsley aioli; or Pizza Diavola. For those who like to view summertime through rose-tinted glasses, an alternative flight that focuses on cult favourite rosés is also available and provides just as popular a partner for plates bursting with farm fresh local produce. Try the Killarney Urban Farm Signature Salad with kale, rainbow chard, spinach, walnuts, avocado, garden peas, shredded red cabbage, carrots, quinoa, beansprouts and olives all drizzled with mint & basil dressing for zesty summer lightness at its best. Café du Parc’s new Taittinger flight costs €25 and is available now at the welcoming café bar in Kenmare Place at Killarney Plaza Hotel and Spa. To book your table visit www.cafeduparckillarney.ie

Team’ (Physiotherapy & Occupational Therapy) which provides immediate home-based rehabilitation, equipment provision and case-management in the subsequent days following a 999/112 call.

The service will operate in Kerry from 8am to 8pm Monday to Friday, excluding Bank Holidays. In addition, the Advanced Paramedics for Pathfinder will operate on Saturday and Sunday for Follow Ups, Catheterisation and Advanced Life Support.

Pathfinder has been working as a collaborative service between the NAS and Dublin’s Beaumont Hospital Occupational Therapy & Physiotherapy Departments for more than two years and has now also expanded to operate in Limerick, Tallaght, Waterford, Kilkenny and Cork. On average two thirds of patients seen by Pathfinder following a 999 call have remained at home rather than being brought to the Emergency Department.

Mary Fitzgerald Hospital Manager, University Hospital Kerry said: “We are extremely pleased to be able to offer this service to suitable older people here in our local Kerry community. Through the Pathfinder Model, many older patients can be safely and appropriately managed in their own home rather than being transported to the ED for assessment when they dial 112/999. Pathfinder aims to reduce congestion in busy Emergency Departments and makes for a better environment for patients and staff on the floor whilst improving overall flow through the ED. The service enables increased ED capacity to care for other patients, by supporting this cohort of complex, frail patients at home.”
