		KERRY, a maritime county of the province of MUNSTER, bounded on the east by the counties of Limerick and Cork, on the north by the estuary of the Shannon (which seperates it from Clare), on the west by the Atlantic, and on the south by the same ocean and the county of Cork.
		The county is included in the Munster circuit: the assizes and general quarter sessions are held at Tralee, and quarter sessions are also held at Killarney, in the former of which towns are the county courthouse and the county gaol; and there are bridewells at Cahirciveen, Castleisland, Dingle, Kenmare, Killarney, Listowel, Milltown and Tarbert.
		A great disadvantage which the entire county labours under is the want of means for exporting its produce: there are but few quays, so that it loses nearly all the advantages of its maritime situation.

	County Kerry 1839
		Kerry is divided into the baronies of Iveragh on the south-west, containing the town of Cahirciveen, population (in 1831) 1,192: Dunkerron, occupying the remainder of the peninsula, containing only hamlets; Glanerought on the south-east, containing the town of Kenmare, pop.
		Kerry, according to some Irish writers, had its name from Ciar, the son of Fergus, king of Ulster, and signified Ciar's kingdom; and originally formed part of the kingdom of Desmond, or South Munster, of which the MacCarthies were sovereigns.
		Northward from Ardfert the country towards Kerry Head consists of thick beds of argillaceous sandstone, beyond which the limestone reappears in contact with beds of alum slate in the cliffs of Ballybunion.

	Brian Michael DOWLING
		The leading land-owning members of the sept in Leix (or Laois) were further transplanted to Tarbert on the border of north Kerry and west Limerick in 1608-9 as part of the Plantation of Laois and Offaly, under which the two counties were renamed as Queen's and King's County respectively.
		Hence, we find Dowling more numerous in Dublin in 1890, than in either Kilkenny or Queens County (Leix).
		This King died, B.C. 1543, on the Eve of 1st of November, with two-thirds of the people of Ireland, at Magh Sleaght (or Field of Adoration), in the county of Leitrim, as he was adoring the Sun-God, Crom Cruach (a quo Macroom).

		The Buildstone North Kerry League is now down to the penultimate stage with the four teams through to the semi-finals setting the scene for two interesting games between Listowel Emmets and Desmonds and near neighbours Tarbert and Moyvane.
		These are disappointing times for the Asdee senior football team who as yet have not won a game either in the County League or North Kerry League.
		Asdee Rovers concluded their Kerry league campaign on a high note at Ballyloughran on Friday evening when they guaranteed their place in the Premiership with a vital 1-0 win over the league and cup champions Rattoo Rovers who fielded a very much under strength team.

	The Kingdom: Three TDs to link-up to boost jobs prospects
		THE persistent failure to attract industry to Listowel is directly attributable to the inferior condition of the N69 road from Tarbert to Tralee, according to the three North Kerry TDs.
		The strategic importance of the N69 to the economy of North Kerry was emphasised by the three politicians who pointed out that the inferior condition of the road has led to failure to attract industry to Listowel.
		Mr Davitt said he hoped increased funding would be provided in 2003 for the road but stressed that there was a major difficulty with the level of funding available for national secondary roads in the county, which represents 13 per cent of the national secondary road network.

	Limerick County Council - Foynes Fire & Rescue Service - History
		This was assessed as being an area from the Kerry border near Tarbert to Foynes, and included inland parishes such as Ballyhahill, and it population was calculated to be 5,900, the worst off area being the extreme northwest corner from Glin to the border.
		Foynes’ fire-fighting equipment continued to be a standpipe and some lengths of hose, which depended on whatever pressure was in the ordinary domestic water system.
		And Foynes Harbour Trustees were deliberately developing the port for the importation of coal and the port plan anticipated the construction of additional berthing facilities for oil.

	Ireland Mid-West Online - County Clare - Kilrush
		Some 7 miles from Kilrush is the river-side village of Killimer, which attracts a steady stream of road traffic, as a ferry (2 in summer) flies back and forth to Tarbert on the Kerry shore, a voyage of about 20 minutes which obviates the need for a length detour by way of Limerick.
		Kilrush was once a Shannon port of some significance; a regular traffic of boats from Limerick, some 60 miles up-river, as well as coastal steamers, called to the little jetty with a variety of goods and occassional passengers.
		Kilrush is an oddity among Irish country towns: the street layout was carefully planned by the local landlords, the Vandeleurs (whose family mausoleum can be seen just outside the town off the road to Killimer).
