Killarney council rejects sex shop but may be unable to stop it

TOP tourist town Killarney, which likes to call itself Heaven’s Reflex, has given the thumbs-down to sex shops.

But local councillors — the overwhelming majority of whom are strongly opposed to such shops — may be powerless to prevent them from opening.

Killarney mayor Patrick O’Donoghue admitted: “If someone is determined enough to open one of these shops, there’s very little we can do about it.”
