Killarney

<h3>Kerry County Council has&nbsp;said it&nbsp;has&nbsp;no plans to install public charge points for electric cars.</h3>
There are now 13 different electric car charging points in Killarney.
A total of three charging bays are located in shopping centres including Tesco Deerpark and the latest one at Aldi Deerpark.
Only one traditional filling station has embraced the new technology and that is Randles Bros Garage on the Muckross Road.
Several hotels have installed electric vehicle chargers on their premises. These include the Killarney Plaza Hotel, the Killarney Avenue Hotel, the Great Southern Killarney, Hotel Killarney, the Gleneagle Hotel, the Cahernane House Hotel, the Lake Hotel, the Castlerosse Hotel, the Hotel Europe and the Innisfallen Hotel.
Kerry County Council released this information after Cllr Niall Kelleher asked a recent Killarney Municipal District if there were plans to install more electric car chargers in Killarney.
The Local Authority said it had no plans to install public charge points.
&ldquo;To date, the Council has not installed and does not operate any public EV [Electric Vehicle] charge points but has worked with the private sector to facilitate the installation of EV charge points in a number of public car parks,&rdquo; a Council official told the meeting.
&ldquo;The Council continues to be open to discussions with the community and private sector to further develop the EV charge point infrastructure in Kerry. Well known established companies are continually expanding their network in Ireland and looking for new opportunities for development. It has been noted that numerous charge points have also recently been privately installed at hotels and accommodation providers to cater for their guests and avail of overnight charging.&rdquo;
