IT was a pretty miserable morning but the mood of the people who gathered outside the Brogue on Friday did not mirror the weather.
Everyone in the crowd of a few hundred people was in high spirits at the Rock Street venue before the start of the annual Bill Kirby Memorial Walk.
There was music and refreshments, with buckets passed around if anybody wanted to make a donation for the Palliative Care Unit in Kerry General Hospital.

Members of Born To Run club were also there to run the four mile route.
Organised by Michael ‘Fox’ O’Connor, the day, which has become a real tradition in town, was another great success and participants warmed up after with hot drinks back in the Brogue Inn.
