This festival is in August and I was advised not to attempt the Ring of Kerry during Puck unless you wanted to stay in Killorglin since the road goes right through town.

and a great goat. Thanks. Both times I was in Ireland, it was August and we had just missed the Puck. One of these years, I hope to make it there at the right time and to pay homage to King Puck.
