Ireland's longest running fair is kicking off in Kerry tomorrow as Puck Fair returns to Killorglin.

The annual goat-catching festivities begin tomorrow marking a 400 year tradition where a goat will look over the town before being crowned King Puck.

Horse and cattle trading, musical performances and a parade are all set to take place however concerns have been raised in recent years of the animal welfare of the captured goat.
