Funding crisis could close much-needed counselling service

A FINANCIAL crisis could force the closure of a Kerry counselling service in the new year.

Director of south west counselling centre in Killarney Geraldine Sheehy yesterday said the service would survive for only a further six months, based on current funding.

A meeting has been held with Kerry south TDs, including Ceann Comhairle John O’Donoghue, to appeal for support.
