Killarney is hoping for a tourism boost after the region was featured prominently in a new nature series presented by David Attenborough.

Extensive featuring of Killarney National Park and its deer is a “tremendous boost” for Killarney and all of Kerry, Killarney Chamber of Tourism and Commerce said, adding that it will provide a “massive pre-season bonus” for the sector.
