Fishermen still waiting for pier first promised in 1997
Mussel fishermen in Cromane, who have long lived in hope of getting proper landing facilities, heard commitments to provide a pier prior to the 1997 election. A site has been chosen at Crow’s Point, but serious difficulties have arisen in regard to getting land for an access road to the site.
Senior engineer Paul Stack told yesterday’s Kerry County Council meeting, in Tralee, that chances of getting the land by agreement were “slim” and it looked as if they would have to compulsorily acquire it.
