Kerry council order on sign like ‘Fr Ted’

A publican yesterday described as “ridiculous” a request from a local authority for him to apply for planning permission to retain a sign outside his premises.

Tim Galvin, of Gally’s Bar and Restaurant, Tralee, Co Kerry, said he was shocked to get a letter from Kerry County Council after he had changed the sign’s wording.

The sign had originally read ‘Gally’s Bar and Restaurant’, and he changed it to ‘Gally’s Food All Day’.
