Interest in Gaeltacht areas in Kerry has doubled over the last year because of the pandemic.

That's according to Údarás na Gaeltachta, which today published a three-year strategy review.

CEO Micheál O'hÉanaigh says areas from Donegal to Kerry are attracting new interest from entrepreneurs and companies seeking to relocate, or outsource new jobs in the West of Ireland.

Údarás has also revealed it's supporting a local taskforce in running a pilot project to stem the loss of people from the Dingle Peninsula and encourage newcomers.

It says a database of available properties in the peninsula has just been completed.
