Delays to pier caused by ‘drip feeding’ of money

FURTHER delays in carrying out long-awaited pier improvements in Kerry can be expected if the Government continues to drip feed money for such work.

The warning came from county manager Tom Curran who told councillors he could no longer advise them to accept ‘piecemeal’ projects and expose the county council to large cash-flow problems it could not sustain.

In some cases, the council was given money by government departments to start projects, but had no guarantee of receiving funding to finish the jobs.
