Tourist town clamps down on ‘tacky’ signs

A CAMPAIGN has been launched in Killarney to remove ugly advertising signs not deemed to be in keeping with the area’s reputation as a top tourist destination.

Town manager John Breen yesterday said about 70 businesses had been contacted about the signs and the response so far had been extremely encouraging.

“We’ve outlined our efforts to win the top prize in the Tidy Towns competition and are urging people to work with us,” he said.
