Killarney council urged to acquire Victorian cottage at park gateway

A TOWN council has been urged to acquire a listed Victorian building, once a picture postcard cottage, at the gateway to Killarney National Park.

Purchased by developers during the boom, the 1839-built Reen Cottage has fallen into disrepair and remains overgrown with briars.

Cllr Michael Gleeson appealed to Killarney Town Council to buy the cottage and restore it for the “public good”.
