Green light for Killarney car park

Extra vehicles using a new car park in a town hit by chronic congestion will not create a traffic hazard, An Bord Pleanála has ruled.

The planning appeals board has given the green light to a 142-space car park on the busy Muckross Rd, in Killarney, Co Kerry.

Kerry County Council — which previously refused planning to local businessman Con Duggan for the car park — is to engage consultants to carry out a traffic management study, including parking, in Killarney.
