Work starts on new Slea Head road

WORK has started on the building of a new road at Slea Head in the Dingle Peninsula to replace a section that collapsed several months ago.

The one-kilometre stretch will cost €900,000 to build with work expected to be completed by October, Kerry County Council confirmed yesterday.

Agreement has been reached with three landowners to acquire the necessary land while funding has been approved by the Department of theEnvironment.
