Firms rally against car ban

MORE than 50 business people in Killarney have signed a petition strongly opposing a suggested pedestrianisation of the Kerry town’s Main Street.

However, the local town council is adamant no decision has been taken on the matter and emphasised it would not be taken without prior consultation with people likely to be affected.

A letter from well-known pharmacist Liam Sheahan, whose premises is in Main Street, contained the signatures from fellow traders. The matter was discussed during Monday night’s council meeting.
