Puck Fair changes criticised: 'The goat was looked after better than any king'.
A change to this year's Puck Fair in Co Kerry has left a lot of people 'very disappointed'.
"The committee have to be praised at all times, and commended... for running the festival successfully over 400 years now at this stage [by] various committees - but this current one in the last number of decades have done a fantastic job. "I don't think anyone could question [that] the goat came down off the stand in better order than he went up there every year that this festival has been run".Cllr Healy Rae has criticised certain groups who called for the change."If we gave them the Lotto they'd find something wrong with it.
"But if there was cattle or animals depending on them for the winter, I don't see them doing anything for that - only talking."I didn't see them carry them a bag of hay or a bag of rolled oats, or doing anything for them.
