Council urged to act on key buildings

A CALL was made yesterday for more progress in the use of two key buildings in Killarney by the local town council.

The Franciscan friars announced earlier this year they were handing over their hall, Áras Phádraig, to the council, for the use of the community, but Labour town councillor Seán Counihan is concerned about delays in progressing its transfer to the council.

Also, more than four years ago, the council purchased the former Pretty Polly site, a prime industrial location in Killarney, but nothing has since happened with the site, he added.
