Gathering could yield €150m boost for Kerry

Kerry could earn an additional €150m from The Gathering next year, according to the tourism industry.

Jimmy Deenihan, the arts and heritage minister, was at Muckross House, Killarney, at the weekend, to launch the county’s estimated 150 Gathering events, which are being coordinated by Kerry County Council.

Mr Deenihan and Terry O’Brien, mayor of Kerry, urged local communities to become involved.
