Tralee comes to a standstill for funeral

TRALEE came to a standstill yesterday for the funeral of photographer, television cameraman, photo-journalist and founder of Kerry’s Eye newspaper, Padraig Kennelly.

Mr Kennelly, 82, died at his home in Ashe Street, Tralee, on Sunday.

After a Mass concelebrated by seven priests at St John’s Church Tralee, led by Monsignor Dan Riordan, and which included Church of Ireland minister Canon Robert Warren, the cortege took over an hour to wind its way to Rath cemetery on the outskirts of Tralee.
