The multimillion euro redevelopment of Kerry Airport marks a further step in investing in connectivity infrastructure in the South-West, the Taoiseach has said.

Micheál Martin said connectivity was key to tourism, inward investment, and to the people living in the region, as he officially opened the airport's revamped facilities on Monday morning.
