Trees a ‘threat’ in Killarney, warns councillor

Concern has been raised about the condition of trees along one of the main routes into Killarney, Co Kerry.

A call for a detailed examination of trees along the Deenagh River side of the Port Rd, opposite St Mary’s Cathedral, has been made by Cllr Michael Gleeson.

“Some are leaning dangerously over the footpath and road and look very fragile and threatening,” he said. “I am asking as a matter of urgency that these trees are inspected and those that appear in any way dubious should be promptly removed. Most certainly, all overhanging branches should be promptly removed,” he said.
