Kerry ‘without clout’ amid bypass Ballyvourney impasse

A joint approach from politicians in Cork and Kerry has been urged to progress a bypass route on the main road linking the counties.

With no minister based in Kerry, a county council meeting in Tralee yesterday heard a call for the intervention of Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin in the saga over the Macroom- Ballyvourney bypass.

Kerry was “without clout”, the meeting was told.
