There are a lot of old ones online, and not just relating to Kerry:

Theres a few good books out there, firstly there was a book printed a few years back 'A pictorial history of tralee'
Russell McMorran and Maurice O'Keeffe, availible here, and in Polymaths bookshop in town id say.

There was another book maybe around 10 years ago by a photographer in town, Micheal Diggins. This had pictures of the town from the '50s - '70s in it. I have a copy somewhere, but i have no idea where. This is more than likely out of print by now.

Wheels Around Kerry
Cyril McIntyre
ISBN 9781840333855
Stenlake Publishing
A fascinating collection of photographs detailing road transport in County Kerry, Ireland with captions by transport enthusiast Cyril McIntyre. The photos date from Victorian times to the 1960s, with the majority being from the 1940s, 50s and 60s. Particular attention is given to C. I.E. Featured Locations include Dingle, Ballybunion (railway), Killarney, Tralee, Tarbert, Dunquin and Ballyferriter. I also have this book, somewhere in the bookshelf! All of Cyril McIntyres books are excellent, he has done a lot of transport books.

How old do you want the photographs to be? Hope the above helps.

Thanks very much for the help. Wheels around Kerry looks interesting. Looking for something from the 1930's onwards.
