Plug pulled on Killarney festival
The organisers of the two-day Killarney Festival of Music & Food, who now face huge losses, had to cancel it after failing to meet conditions for use of Killarney Racecourse as an alternative venue.
Tickets sales were also very poor and an attendance of less than 5,000 was expected each day — earlier this year, the organisers said the event would attract 36,000 attendees.
