An Bord Pleanala's decision to grant permission to Kerry County Council to construct a 32-km greenway along the former Ring of Kerry railroad has been widely welcomed in the region but farmers remain irked by the planning process.

The cycling and walking greenway will run along scenic landscapes from Glenbeigh to Renard, south of Cahersiveen and has been hailed as a 'game-changer' for local tourism.
