Gardaí forced to use land line to help tourists

AN accident involving a coach full of German tourists has again highlighted the need for a proper landline and mobile phone coverage in Kerry’s scenic Black Valley.

There were delays in calling for help when the coach, with 36 passengers, went off the narrow road and turned over on its side on Sunday evening.

Nobody was injured but some of the passengers, who had to climb out of the coach through windows as the door was jammed, were said to be a shocked.
