I believe the answer is:

sky

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'it' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'over everyone's head in south kerry?' is the wordplay.
'over' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'everyone's' becomes 'y' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'head in' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letters of 'south kerry' is 'sk'.
'y' put after 'sk' is 'SKY'.

'goes' is the link.
