A murder probe was launched last night after a 30-year-old man was stabbed to death in Co Louth.

O’SHEA’S pub was one of the places where the locals gathered each year on the closing night of Puck Fair, in Killorglin.

WHEN a Fianna Fáil councillor of almost 20 years’ experience admits that the campaign is the “most difficult ever” for the party, the pressure is clearly on FF to remain the controlling party on Kerry County Council.

A DRY Puck Fair is unthinkable but fears that water will not be flowing as freely as beer at the age-old event next week were voiced yesterday in Killorglin, Co Kerry.
