Original Kerry, a network of local craft producers and the Kerry Craft Trails will be launched on next Monday, 27th June in the Killarney at the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht by Minister Jimmy Deenihan.
This initiative is supported by agencies such as the Kerry County Enterprise Board, Udaras na Gaeltachta, Kerry County Council and the Crafts Council of Ireland.
Tomas Hayes, CEO of the Kerry County Enterprise Board comments; "Within the County we have outstandingly talented creative people producing world class products that need exposure to new customers and markets- I am confident that Original Kerry will help to showcase their work to a new audience and that the newly formed Kerry Craft and Food Forum can act as a catalyst for the revitalisation of this sector that makes such an important contribution to the economic, cultural and tourism life of this great County"
