The death has occurred in Spain of Ronan Fleming who was very actively involved in tourism promotion in his native Killarney for many years.
He was one of the driving forces behind the former Killarney Tourism Council on which he worked closely with the late Killarney councillors Michael Courtney and Dermot O’Callaghan and they initiated a number of projects in attempts to attract more visitors to the town.
