The future of the Rose of Tralee International Festival has been secured.

It follows an announcement by Chairman of the Rescue Group, Anthony O'Gara, that 98% of creditors have formally accepted the settlement terms offered by the company.

The members of the Festival of Kerry Limited unanimously endorsed restructuring proposals at a meeting last night.

Funds to rescue the festival have been pledged on the basis that creditors accept the settlement proposals and that the Festival of Kerry Limited agreed to a fundamental restructuring.

The process of settling creditors and restructuring can now go ahead.
