Kingdom roads made passable after downpours

MOST roads in Kerry were again passable last night after some of the worst August flooding in living memory.

An incessant overnight downpour resulted in several roads being blocked by flood waters in the county, with hundreds forced to make detours as they drove to work.

A section of the busy Farranfore/Castleisland road, on the Castleisland side of Kerry Airport, was covered by about three feet of water and traffic diversions were in place.
