Wildlife campaigners are calling for a “full investigation into the causes and consequences” of the fire that ripped through Killarney National Park over the weekend.
Thousands of hectares of the park were damaged in the blaze which originally broke out in a number of areas to the south of Killarney town.
The blaze was eventually brought under control this morning; however, helicopters are still working to damp down a number of hot spots in the area.
