Killarney's Jessie Buckley has become the first Kerry woman to be nominated for a Best Actress Oscar.
She was nominated for her role as Agnes Hathaway, the wife of William Shakespeare, in the drama Hamnet.

The nominations were announced by actors Danielle Brooks and Lewis Pullman in Beverly Hills via a livestream.
Family and friends of Jessie gathered in her uncle Sean's Arbutus Hotel in Killarney to watch the announcement.
Radio Kerry's Jerry O'Sullivan was at the Arbutus Hotel in Killarney, which is owned and run by Jessie's godfather and uncle Seán, for the announcement:
