Numerous judgments against promoter of failed Killarney event

While the Killarney name adorns the failed festival which was due to be held in ‘the Kingdom’ this weekend, there was little Kerry involvement behind the scenes of the cancelled event.

The Dublin-based promoter behind the festival — who brought the event to Kerry after three consecutive years in Westport Co Mayo — has had a number of judgments made against his companies and was personally sued by comedian Mario Rosenstock.

Darryl Downey, a 48-year-old who is based in Dublin 4, is the director and sole shareholder of both Rag Lane Entertainment Ltd and Jarash Ltd.
