Eighty per cent of respondents to a Radio Kerry Kerry Thinks poll are satisfied with the standard of education in the county.
It’s one of the findings of the survey which asked people a range of questions on subjects including housing, health, and crime.
When asked how they rated the standard of education in Kerry from primary to third level, including post-leaving cert courses, 38% said it was good, 31% very good and 11% said it was excellent.
Education was among the topics discussed at today’s special outside broadcast from The Ashe Hotel, Tralee.

- Cllr Angie Baily, Fine Gael – Tralee Municipal District
- Colette O’Connor, CEO of Tralee Chamber Alliance
- Dr Breda O’Dwyer, founder and head of CEED (Centre for Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Development) MTU Kerry Campus
- Annie O’Mahony, journalist living in Abbeydorney, originally from Cuba
