We recognise the devastating consequences that the spread of this dreadful disease could cause to the farming community in Kerry and as a sporting organisation who depend on the goodwill of the general public, landowners and stage residents we see it as our duty to help in the prevention of the spread of this disease. Once the present situation is stabilised we look forward to continuing that good relationship with the people of West Kerry and hope that once the current crisis is over the event can be rescheduled.
