Action needed to ease traffic chaos

A WARNING of worsening traffic congestion on the fast-growing eastern side of Killarney was sounded yesterday.

A busy roundabout where the main roads from Cork and Tralee converge is at the heart of the problem area, which also has a busy shopping centre and industrial estate.

Killarney FF councillor Brian O’Leary said some local residents were virtual prisoners in their homes at certain hours of the day, especially between 4.30pm and 6.30pm.
