Plea over court review of road plan

A strong plea was yesterday made to An Taisce not to proceed with a judicial review in the High Court of a project to upgrade a major tourist route.

Kerry County Council chairman John Brassil said he was “really infuriated” by the heritage body’s move and was seeking a meeting with An Taisce chairman John Harnett.

An Bord Pleanála recently approved a €65m plan to straighten, widen and provide cycle lanes along a 28km section of the Tralee to Dingle road.
