It's all things Kerry, live from 10:00am:
  • Kicking things off, we take a look at the business stories of the day and what’s making the front pages with Jerry O’Sullivan, presenter of Kerry Today on Radio Kerry.
  • I'll be joined by Independent TD for Kerry South, Michael Healy Rae.
  • We then take a detailed look at business life in Killarney and Kerry; I'll speak to Kate O'Leary, president of Killarney Chamber of Commerce, Liz Maher chairperson of Kerry Businesswomen’s Network and Ed Harty of the Company Diarymaster. Also in the audience will speak to some of the retailers and business owners ploughing their trade in Killarney.
  • I'll be out and about on the Lakes of Killarney, taking a horse-drawn ride with 'Killarney Jaunting Cars' - taking in the hidden delights of Killarney National Park & the famous Lakes of Killarney.
  • Then in Our Industry Focus we look at Tourism in Killarney and are joined by Conor Hennigan of the Malton Hotel, Ciara Treacy of Ross Hotel and Killarney Park and Mike Buckley of Kerry Coaches. In the audience we have some other tourism people and also Kieran Murphy of Murphy’s Ice-Cream; Kerry’s own ice cream company.
  • Given that we’re broadcasting from the Gleneagle we catch up with MD Patrick O’Donoghue  and Guest Relations Manager Caroline Papin star of RTÉ One's fly-on-the-wall series which went behind the scenes at the hotel.
  • The Business of the GAA; I speak to Kerry Legend Weeshy Fogarty about why GAA is so important in Kerry.
  • Dickie Rock - He’s playing in the Gleneagle on Friday night and I'll talk to him about his life and his career in music.

We're live from 10:00am tomorrow, and you can follow the action and get involved with the hashtag #DTBKillarney.
