Funding for Kerry roads could be sidetracked

MAJOR road projects in Kerry could be delayed indefinitely because of the emphasis on providing new routes in the east coast and the western corridor linking Donegal, Galway and Limerick.

Kerry county engineer Tom Curran has warned of delays arising in Kerry for financial reasons, as roads in the county were among over 30 nationally in “limbo” at present.

Biggest project in the pipeline for Kerry is the proposed 27km road between Killarney and Farranfore, which is still at the early planning stage.
