ANGLING NOTES:THE Kerry Care Foundation is the main recipient of last Sunday’s charity fly-fishing competition on Lough Lein in Killarney, Co Kerry. Accepting a cheque for €7,500, Louis Collier, representing the foundation, said he is overwhelmed with the generosity that arises from the competition.

Now in its 20th year, with a different charity each year, more than €160,000 has been raised for charities in Kerry. “We are a voluntary organisation and run a clinic each Wednesday for people with serious ailments. This money will go a long way to continue our care for the sick,” Collier says.
