North Kerry is missing out on roads investment

While almost €18 million has been announced for road works in Kerry, a row has broken out as the vast bulk of the money has been allocated for improvement works in south and west Kerry.

The old constituency of Kerry North has been left out, councillors claim.

Issues were raised at the Christmas meeting of Kerry County Council by north Kerry councillors Aoife Thornton (FG) and Jimmy Moloney (FF) who were highly critical of a report by Transport Infrastructure Ireland and said there was no mention of the main artery to and from North Kerry, the N69.
