We are ready to intervene in escalating feud, say gardaí

A feud which erupted after a First Holy Communion and continues to involve two sectors of the Kerry Traveller community remains highly volatile, the county’s main policing body was told yesterday.

A member of the Kerry Joint Policing Committee warned yesterday the matter cannot continue to be brushed under the carpet.

“We have a feud in Killarney,” Independent councillor Donal Grady told the Joint Policing Committee.
