The ladies hit the dance floor and brought back the classic move — dancing around their handbags — June O’Sullivan, Marian Higgins, Nicola O’Connor, Helen Duggan and Laura Duggan
Former Revelles doorman Mikey O’Connell was more focused on selfies than security at the reunion and he is pictured here having a laugh with Breda O’Connor as she jokingly offered her driver’s licence for ID

A partnership between Raheen National School, the Killarney Avenue Hotel and DJ Niall O’Callaghan sent Killarney on an Easter Saturday night trip down memory lane.

The Revelles reunion disco was back for one night only, the crowd was buzzing and the floor was hopping.
Familiar faces were back, including former bouncers and barmen, and stories of nostalgia and memories were shared, including those of first loves, engagements and weddings all with beginnings in Revelles.

For those of a younger vintage, Saturday night was their first experience of the slow set.
The Raheen National School Parents’ Association was extremely grateful for the support of everyone who was in attendance or those who bought tickets.
Funds raised will go to the upgrade of the school pitch and the development of a community walking track.
