Concern over wild deer risk for Kerry drivers

A warning has been given of the risk of further road deaths, unless safety measures are improved on a short section of one of the country’s busiest tourist routes.

Five people have died, in recent years, on a 2km stretch of the N72 Ring of Kerry between Killarney town and the local golf club on the Killorglin road.

South Kerry coroner Terence Casey has called for better signage to alert to drivers to wild deer and for increased fencing to prevent them accessing the road.
