Town centre homecoming parade planned for Kerry

Win or lose on Sunday, Killarney is planning a homecoming parade for the Kerry team on Monday.

And after last year’s poorly received event in Fitzgerald Stadium, it has been decided to revert to the more traditional welcoming party in the town centre.

As a result the Glebe Car Park on College St will be closed to traffic from 7am on Monday morning to facilitate the event. The car park will re-open for car parking purposes on Tuesday morning.
