Kerry is the kingdom.

Kerry is the kingdom.

A big news story last weekend was the cutting down of the landmark cross on top of Carrauntoohil in Kerry by vandals.

The local community have rallied together and they re-instated the cross yesterday afternoon.

The task was undertaken on a voluntary basis by Mike O’Shea, Irish Rope Access, staff from Liebherr Container Cranes, Killarney, members of Beaufort Community Council and local landowners.

Volunteer with the MacGillycuddy Reeks Mountain Access Forum, Valerie O’Sullivan, took these amazing photos during the operation.
