Removing graffiti a ‘risky business’ council warns

Erasing graffiti from a prominent landmark on the busy Ring of Kerry tourist route could be a “high risk” operation, according to Kerry County Council.

For years, eyesore lettering has been scrawled on the Gleesk viaduct, part of the old Farranfore to Reenard railway line that closed more than 50 years ago.

Tourism and Transport Minister Leo Varadkar is considering an application for funding to develop a walking/ cycling trail on the disused line which commands spectacular sea and mountain views.
