Recalling my Puck Fair childhood

Róisín Burke has many happy memories of of her childhood trips to Kerry’s unique Puck Fair, which is at least 400 years old

IT has been many years since I walked the streets of Killorglin, amidst the hustle and bustle that consumes the small town during the Puck Fair. I remember the jaunty banter, packed streets, and a Puck goat perched perilously 40 feet above the crowds in the middle of the square.

I remember the stalls with all kinds of gloriously shiny trinkets and brightly coloured plastic toys.
