Firms asked for €75k to fund street shows

BUSINESS people in Tralee are being asked for €75,000 to pay for a street entertainment programme during the town’s money- spinning Rose festival.

Upwards of 70 volunteer stewards are also needed to help run the event later this month in the Kerry county town.

As part of a so-called Back to Basics programme, which has an emphasis on street entertainment, Tralee publicans are urging support for the fundraising campaign.
