Killarney Regatta Festival, which was scheduled for this Sunday (14th September), has been postponed due to an adverse weather forecast.
Organisers say heavy winds of 34-37 kilometre per hour (km/hr) and rain are predicted at the venue: the shores of Killarney Golf and Fishing Club.
Killarney Regatta Festival chairman, Paddy Cronin, and safety officer, Richard Leane, called the postponement earlier today.
In a statement, Mr Cronin said the decision was made with an abundance of caution for the safety of rowing crews, trainers, visitors and volunteers.
The Killarney Festival Regatta is now scheduled to begin on Sunday, 21st September at 9:30am.
