Kerry 'tourist police' needed to control visitors during summer

Banna beach is one of many Kerry beaches proving a big attraction for staycationers.

Kerry needs 'tourist police' to control tourist numbers and behaviour this summer says one councillor who notes that we "cannot invite everybody and then not control them". 

With huge numbers of staycationers in Kerry this July, and after a weekend when beaches, towns, and parks were packed,  Kerry County Council has heard how “tension” between locals and tourists rose in the pandemic.
