Killarney

<h3>Kerry County Council is to install temporary barriers on the approach to the McDonald&rsquo;s Restaurant on Park Road.</h3>
There have been repeated calls by local residents for the Council to solve traffic issues in the area.
During busy periods customers visiting the drive-through section of the restaurant queue on to the busy Park Road.
This is causing road safety and access problems for locals. One year ago Cllr Marie Moloney raised the matter at a Killarney Municipal District Meeting. Her calls were echoed by Cllr Donal Grady during last November&rsquo;s meeting.
Last year the Council said it would increase the visibility of road markings in the area and that traffic wardens would monitor the situation.
A year later the problem still exits and Cllr Moloney called for an &ldquo;Update on the progress with carrying out works to alleviate the problems being experienced by residents with parking adjacent to McDonald&#8217;s and blocking residents&rsquo; entry and exit from their homes&#8221;.
A Council official replied: &ldquo;Kerry County Council is proposing to provide temporary barriers on a trial basis, at this location, to establish the workability of installing bollards&rdquo;.
