Gardaí to keep tabs on Tralee drinks

A district court judge yesterday requested gardaí to monitor alcohol prices at the first ever open air bar for the Rose of Tralee to ensure the public “is not fleeced”.

And Judge James O’Connor also made an order at Tralee District Court directing that drink charges at the planned event will not exceed the prices which were publicly displayed yesterday at the Abbey Inn in Kerry’s county town.

Furthermore, a solicitor representing the town’s 30-plus vintners gave an assurance 20% of profits from a planned “Stunning Sunday” in Tralee would aid the cancer charity, Donal Walsh Foundation.
