The Kerry Mountain Rescue team responded to 27 call outs this year.
That’s down 11 compared to 2019, when the team responded to 38 call outs.
The team say the decrease this year is a direct result of the lockdowns and public health restrictions which were in place to curb the spread of COVID-19.
Kerry Mountain Rescue PRO Colm Burke says 2020 has been an unusual one given the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mr Burke says they noticed a peak in the number of people out on mountains and hills during the summer when restrictions eased.
Over the course of this year the team undertook search, rescue and recovery operations and offered medical assistance on the county’s mountains.
