The mayor of Kerry has condemned a number of racist stickers that appear to be aimed at the Killarney convention centre where thousands of new Irish are conferred with citizenship each year. They depict people in Islamic, eastern European, Chinese and African dress overlooked by a sign saying “Convention Centre”. Some 2,900 candidates became Irish citizens at the Killarney Convention centre in April involving people from over 90 countries. The mayor of Kerry, Niall Kelleher, said the council removed the stickers and he himself removed a number of them. The Killarney Chamber of Tourism and Commerce also spoke out about the "vulgar" stickers.
