A civic reception could be held for those who battled the Killarney National Park fires last month.
At the Killarney Municipal District Meeting, numerous councillors highlighted the work and bravery of local landowners, volunteers, council staff and the emergency services during the recent fires.
Cathaoirleach of the MD Brendan Cronin said it was hard to comprehend the scale of the destruction, while Independent councillor Donal Grady praised those who “sweat blood” while fighting the fires.
