Controversial South Kerry Greenway planning hearing to take almost two weeks

An oral hearing into the controversial South Kerry Greenway is expected to take almost two weeks.

As well as an application for planning, Kerry County Council is also seeking the go-ahead to compulsorily purchase lands from the almost 200 landowners on the 32km route which is largely - though not exclusively - along the former railway line between Glenbeigh and Renard outside Cahersiveen.
