Kerry officials urged to reject public walkways

SENIOR officials of Kerry County Council were yesterday urged “not to lead people up the garden path” in relation to plans for public walkways.

Councillors strongly opposed a proposed walkway from the centre of Kenmare to the local pier.

Independent councillor Michael Healy-Rae, pointing out the land involved was private property and permission of the owners would first have to be obtained, said people were being misled into believing a walkway would be provided.
