Stand-off with taxis ongoing over Kerry street revamp

A smart revamp of Tralee town centre, nearing completion, has left the town’s taxi operators feeling pushed aside by a pedestrian-focused project.

A bitter stand-off is continuing with the local authority in Kerry’s county town as bye-laws for taxis go to public consultation.

Up to €1.7 million of street works is transforming the central Mall and offering priority to pedestrians, while cycle tracks are being provided in Denny Street which will also affect vehicular parking.
