Deadline extended for Killarney park proposals 

The deadline for submissions to Kerry County council on a proposal by the National Parks and Wildlife Service for a roadway and car park to allow greater access into one of the most sensitive and highly protected areas of the Killarney National Park has been pushed out until Monday.

The proposal is coming before councillors by way of material contravention because the county development plan designates the area prime special amenity. The original closing date for submissions had been today.

The access will eventually result from part of a looped walkway around the largest of the Killarney lakes, which is being promoted by tourism interests.
