Visiting and staying in Kerry
County Kerry (Irish: Contae Chiarraí) is one of the traditional Counties of Ireland. It is located within the province of Munster in the Republic of Ireland. With an area of 4,746 km² (1,832 square miles), it is bordered by County Limerick to the east and County Cork to the south-east. The county town is Tralee while one of Ireland's most famous towns, Killarney, is also located in County Kerry. Kerry is an anglicisation of CiarraÍ, itself derived from Ciarraighe, or "people of Ciar" the name of the pre-Gaelic tribe who lived in part of the present county. The legendary founder of the tribe was Ciar, son of Fergus mac Róich. In Old Irish "Ciar" meant black or dark brown, and the word continues in use in modern Irish as an adjective describing a dark complexion. The suffix raighe meaning people/tribe is found in various -ry place names in Ireland, such as Osry - Osraighe Deer-People/Tribe.
