Jerry spoke to Pat O’Leary, chair of the Kerry Tourism Industry Federation (KTIF), about we should capitalise on Ireland’s newest national and first marine park being located here in Kerry. It means that this county is home to two national parks - Páirc Náisiúnta na Mara and Killarney National Park.

Jerry presented today’s show from The Demesne in Killarney National Park, near Deenagh Lodge to mark the inaugural Killarney National Bark event – an initiative by the National Parks and Wildlife Service to promote responsible dog ownership in the park and of course, to celebrate the pets that enrich so many of our lives. Jerry spoke to Danny O’Keeffe, regional manager with the NPWS, county vet Paddy Fenton who’s also with the Kerry Dog Pound, Danny O’Sullivan the TalkAbout vet and of All Care Veterinary Hospital in Killarney, Lisa O’Donovan of Dogs Trust, Deirdre Horgan of My Canine Companion, Irene McCarthy from Kerry Dog Training, and Jake Shirtliff from Muddy Paws Training.
