€50k study aims to find solutions to traffic delays in Killarney

Changes to residents’ permits, the relocation of town jarveys, and the creation of a bypass through a residential area in Killarney are among suggestions aimed at resolving chronic traffic delays in the Kerry tourist town.

However, the proposals in a traffic study — which cost €50,000 to produce — have come under fire.

The study discovered what had been a normal three-minute journey along the main tourist route, the Muckross Road, was taking three times longer than in recent years due to the lack of car parking spaces at peak times.
