Landowners set for huge windfall over zoning

LANDOWNERS on the northern and western outskirts of Killarney are set for a huge financial windfall, with large amounts of property due to be zoned for housing.

A total of 127 hectares are included in a variation of the Northern Gateway Action Area Plan which covers the area between the Tralee Road and the Killarney bypass.

According to Killarney Labour councillor Sean O’Grady, upwards of 1,300 houses will be built on this land in the coming years.
