Improved road essential, as beauty alone will not sustain Dingle

The decision by An Taisce, in November, 2014, to seek a judicial review of the proposed improvement work on the section of the N86 road from Dingle to Camp has saddened, disappointed, and angered the majority of people living on the Dingle Peninsula and those who visit it regularly.

Their insistence on bringing this project back before the court jeopardises Road Improvement 2000. If this were to happen, it would be a huge setback for one of the most isolated areas in the country.

In October, 2010, Kerry County Council sought advice and direction from An Bord Pleanála on how to progress the upgrading of the N86. Kerry County Council have adhered to the advice and direction given by An Bord Pleanála.
