Muckross Road narrowing prompts protest in Killarney

The narrowing of arguably the busiest tourist road in the country, the N71 Muckross Road in Killarney, saw an impromptu meeting on the roadside amid growing frustration over traffic flow in the town.

The traffic calming measures have left residents, business owners and road users seeing red.

A special meeting of the Killarney area council is being held today to clarify the almost €1m road works under which footpaths are being widened to include raised cycle lanes on either side of the road and pipes are being set underground.
