Accotding to the Limerick Leader newspaper , a meeting was held in the seaside resort on Monday evening between local business people and an MCD official with the intention of ensuring the festival goes ahead again this year.
"An MCD official met with Kilkee business people this Monday - for a last chance meeting," said a source who attended the meeting.
