Kerry County Council in talks with landowners over planned revamp to road

Twenty years after a lobby group protested in Brussels over the poor state of a Co Kerry peninsula road, serious discussions have finally commenced on finalising land acquisition for the national secondary route.

Kerry County Council and landowners are in talks over planned improvements to the N86, the main road from Annascaul to Dingle. It is envisaged that works may begin later this year.

Women featured strongly in a delegation to Brussels 20 years ago when a lobby group warned of the consequences for health, business, and tourism.
