€100k repair fund for national park roads

Potholes could soon be things of the past in one of the country’s most popular tourist attractions.

Following a host of complaints about the state of roads in Killarney National Park, €100,000 is being spent on repairs.

The park is visited by more than a million people annually, but many have to make their way around large potholes and water-logged stretches of roads in the park, which are used extensively by walkers and cyclists, as well as traditional jaunting cars.
