Join the Residents WhatsApp Group
The KVRA WhatsApp Group now has 134 members and has proven to be an excellent communication channel. We encourage at least one member of each house hold to join. The group is primarily a way for the KVRA to inform residents on safety, events, and public notices.
To join, please send your first and last name, and first line of your address by text to Simone or email killineyvillageregeneration@gmail.com if you don’t have Simone’s number.
Village Book Club
The Book Club meets once a month in the Druids Chair Pub. New members are always welcome. Books from all genres are read. To join the Book Club WhatsApp group so you can stay updated on meetings and book choices, please text Marianne.
Annual Donation
We ask each house hold, where possible, to make a donation to support the work of the KVRA. We suggest €20.
Instructions for how to donate will be contained in the newsletter that will be delivered to each house in October/November.
Throughout the year we receive ad hoc donations from residents and wish to thank everyone for their ongoing support.
Village Clean Ups
Overwinter clean ups will be posted to the WhatsApp Group.
Please remember to cut back summer growth that overhangs footpaths and blocks street lights, as this is essential for pedestrian safety.
Save the Date
Killiney Sounds will return to the Village for a 2026 series. First concert will be on February 1st, details to follow.
