THE ‘The Faces of Fenit’ exhibition was officially opened by County Librarian, Tommy O’Connor at Tralee Library on Tuesday evening and is a must for anyone with an interest in the locality.

This is the second opportunity to catch the photographs on display, after Fenit Hall recently held a display of the photos taken by local man, Jim McCarthy of Digimac Photography.

The project was undertaken by Jim McCarthy and Mike O’Neill and captures over 130 photos of local families living in the Fenit area, to record who is living in the locality. All this was done in conjunction with Fenit Development Association.

The photos will remain on display at the library for a few weeks and is well worth a look.
