Kerry councillors hit out at lack of outdoor staff as roads have 'more potholes than road'

Fine Gael councillor Mike Kennelly said five outdoor staff in the Listowel area were due to retire shortly and there had already been a reduction in their numbers since 2008. Money allocated to councillors for roads was not being spent because the staff were not there to do the work, he said.
Killarney area councillor Danny Healy-Rae said there had been six crews in the Killarney area previously but now there were just two.
