Gardaí have confirmed they’re investigating the circumstances surrounding a protest which disrupted a story-telling event at Tralee library yesterday.

The event at Kerry County Library in Moyderwell was billed as a drag story-time event to celebrate Kingdom Pride, which is taking place this week.

Gardaí say they attended the scene of a public order incident in the library shortly before 1pm yesterday; they had been contacted by library staff.
