A group of traders on the top of High Street are calling on local businesses to follow their example and deck the town in green and gold ahead of tomorrow's big match.

Kerry face Tyrone in the All-Ireland Football Semi-Final at 3.30pm afternoon in Croke Park.

Johnny Maguire of Bricín Restaurant, was the first to place green and gold bunting on High Street. He linked his decorations in with O’Sullivan’s Cycles and Jack C's Bar across the street.

A highlight of Bricín’s display is a painting of Johnny’s uncle, Jackie Wade, who was a mascot for Kerry during the 1914 All-Ireland Football final.

“It is very disappointing that so few have shown their support. It is up to each individual business and hope others follow us,” Johnny told the Killarney Advertiser.

“Getting past Tyrone in Croke Park is never easy. This could be the last time to show support but people seem to be blasse about the semi-final.”

Publican John C O’Shea added: “I hope they will be up for over a month.”

Killarney Chamber of Tourism and Commerce also erected green and gold bunting on the streets of the town.

President, Niall Kelleher, and Chamber volunteers were out and about at 6am this morning (Friday) to decorate the town before traffic got heavy.

"The Chamber wishes Peter Keane and the Kerry team every success in their bid to lead the county back into another All-Ireland Senior Football Championship final," Niall Kelleher said.
