Ms Fitzpatrick and a British Embassy delegation were told about Kerry’s urban and rural regeneration projects in Kerry and exactly why Kerry is a great place to live, work and visit.

The honorary consul is visiting the RDI hub, Astellas and Fexco in Killorglin and MTU in Tralee.

The trip is part of a British Embassy initiative to promote economic links and opportunities between regions of Ireland and the UK, identifying how cities, towns and regions can collaborate to help resolve shared challenges.
