Caherciveen in continuous decline, councillors told

Even the presence of an upgraded marina has not stopped “the continuous decline of Caherciveen” and now the town’s Main Street is full of derelict buildings, its pavements broken and footpaths cracked, a delegation of business leaders has told a council meeting.

Two million visitors pass through the main street each year but few stop and “it beggars belief as Caherciveen is on the Ring of Kerry,” the meeting of the South and West Kerry Municipal District heard.
