Protesters seek to sort out Dingle ‘road mess’

The signs summed up the story: “Our Road Is A Mess — We Want Progress.’.

Upwards of 700 people took part in a protest march in Dingle, Co Kerry, on Saturday, sending a clear message to An Taisce and environmentalists “up in Dublin” that they want a €65m road upgrade to go ahead.

An Taisce, which is objecting to the plan — which involves widening and straightening on the N86 Tralee to Dingle road and providing cycle lanes — came under fire and was urged to withdraw a judicial review in the High Court.
