Radical plan to change face of tourist town

A RADICAL plan should change the face of Killarney, Co Kerry, over the next 15 to 20 years.

Traffic control, more pedestrianisation of the town centre and the building of underground car parks, as well as the town’s first multi-storey car park, are included in a draft master plan presented to the town council by consultants Murray O’Laoire.

Cash flow from parking charges, as well as money earned from businesses to be developed on council land at present used for parking, will help fund the plan, according to the council.
