Council opposes building houses along N22 road over traffic concerns

SENIOR management at Kerry County Council do not want any more houses along the N22 road between Tralee and Killarney.

Upwards of 20,000 vehicles travel the busiest road in Kerry daily and any further entrances and exits would only add to traffic hazards, according to county manager Tom Curran.

The National Roads Authority is opposed to the building of houses along national primary roads but councillors have, in the past, moved Section 140 motions — forcing the manager to grant planning for houses along the N22.
