Kerry officials complain over lack of roadwork progress

The crucial tourism industry is already moving up a gear in Kerry but maintenance funding for the county’s roads is not up to speed.

Urgent calls have been made for improvements to famed routes such as the Ring of Kerry and the Dingle Peninsula. However, the director of services at Kerry County Council, Charlie O’Sullivan, said some roads were likely to continue to deteriorate.

He said the number of potholes would increase in the coming years due to inadequate funding.
