Great quack is in store in Killarney where the stage is being set for the second annual duck race held as part of the St Patrick’s Festival.

It will be staged on the River Deenagh – opposite St Mary’s Cathedral – on Saturday, March 15 at 12 noon and ducks can be acquired for €5.

Proceeds are going to Down Syndrome Kerry and prizes will be presented to the race winners.

Last year players of the year David Clifford and Louise Ní Mhuircheartaigh teamed up to launch the big event and this year it was the turn of volunteers from the chosen charity to announce details.
