Green light for Kerry cycle route

A greenway with the potential to be one of the world’s “most iconic” walking and cycling routes hangs in the balance, a county council meeting was told yesterday.

Farmers, backed by the IFA, yesterday protested at a Kerry County Council meeting over planned compulsory purchase orders.

Almost 95% of the 120 landowners have agreed to the sale of land on a former railway line in south-west Kerry.
