Concerns voiced over water levels during Puck Fair

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.

Upwards of 60,000 people are expected to attend the festival and local people are concerned about ongoing water shortages.

Killorglin Fine Gael councillor Johnny (Porridge) O’Connor said he and other local politicians were regularly receiving “ferocious flak” because people were angry over shortages.
