The organisers of the Christmas in Killarney Festival are monitoring the latest developments in relation to weekend weather warnings to determine the best course of action to take regarding the third Magic Street Parade planned for this Saturday evening.
A Status Yellow rain warning has been issued for a number of counties, including Kerry, this Saturday with a possibility that it could be upgraded to a Status Orange.
Met Éireann has advised of the threat of spells of very heavy rain with an increased risk of floods which could lead to difficult travelling conditions and poor visibility.
As of 3.00pm on Friday afternoon, the plan is for the parade to proceed as normal but the Christmas in Killarney Festival committee will keep the situation under constant review and they will be guided on the matter by Met Éireann and the local authority.
A definite decision will be made on Saturday morning on whether the parade will proceed.
