Kerry Mountain Rescue responded to 57 call-outs this year, which accounted to over 3,000 hours.
It’s a slight decrease on last year, which was the busiest year on record when the team responded to 68 calls.
PRO of Kerry Mountain Rescue Colm Burke says the number of hours logged by the team this year is comparable to last year.
He says a number of the calls they responded to this year were very long call-outs, some of which took place over multiple days and involved the majority of the team.
Kerry Mountain Rescue currently has 38 volunteers.
The team undertook search, rescue and recovery operations and offered medical assistance on the county’s mountains throughout the year.
Mr Burke says anyone that needs help from the team can contact 999 or 112 and ask for mountain rescue; he says they are there to help 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
