Bypass rejection ‘blow to Kerry’

A Bord Pleanála decision to reject a proposed bypass of Adare, Co Limerick, will add to Kerry’s sense of peripherality, it has been claimed.

Business and tourism interests in Kerry have been seeking improved access to the county for decades and Adare is on the busiest route into the county, from Limerick, Shannon Airport and Dublin.

Killarney Chamber of Commerce and Tourism president Mike Buckley said the decision was very disappointing.
