Killarney National Park road would kill tourism ‘golden goose’ 

Local politicians in Kerry have been urged to reject the development of a road close to what an environmental group has dubbed one of Europe’s and Ireland’s most sensitive nature conservation sites.

Friends of the Irish Environment (FIE) are appealing to county councillors not to “kill the golden [tourism] goose”.

The National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) has applied to the council for permission to build a 1km paved road in the Beaufort area, at the edge of Killarney National Park.
