Serene island ideal for tourism, says councillor

MOVES have got under way to promote the monastic island of Innisfallen, in the Killarney Lakes, as a bigger tourist attraction.

The tree-covered island contains the remains of a centuries-old monastery and is believed to have been a university where Brian Boru studied.
