Killarney

<h3>The &euro;50,000 funding for Listry Bridge announced under the programme for 2022 for regional and local roads won&rsquo;t even cover the cost of &ldquo;employing a stop and go crew&rdquo; according to Cllr Brendan Cronin.</h3>
Cronin lives close to the accident black spot on the Killarney to Milltown road. He has been campaigning for &ldquo;the 23 years I am in the Council&rdquo; to have the bridge upgraded or replaced.
The &euro;50,000 announced for this year is on top of &euro;30,000 allocated last year but Mr Cronin said: &ldquo;I would have to go and check to see if anything was actually done there in the last year&rdquo;.
A similar situation in North Kerry &ndash; the Dale Road &ndash; received &euro;2,200,000 in the funding announcement and Cllr Cronin is calling for a similar amount of investment for the Mid-Kerry road.
&ldquo;In all honesty, getting a &euro;50,000 allocation in today&rsquo;s world is useless. It would not over the cost of a stop and go crew setting up there for a couple of days,&rdquo; he told the Killarney Advertiser.
&ldquo;This road is a main artery. The people of North Kerry deserve Dale Road improvements and that kind of investment is needed in Listry.&rdquo;
