Councillors unite to call for retention of full Kerry-Dublin airline service

POLITICAL parties and independents in Kerry County Council yesterday united to campaign for the retention of airline services to Dublin.

Following Ryanair’s announcement that it would be reducing, from three to one, at the end of this month, the number of daily return flights on the Kerry-Dublin route, serious concerns were voiced about the effects on tourism and business in the county.

There were also calls on the Government to ensure the continuation of the €1.7 million Public Service Order (PSO) subsidy, due for review next June.
