Killarney

By Sean Moriarty
<h3>Mission Road will be closed to traffic for two days this week.</h3>
The road will be closed between its junction with Lower New Street and the Plaza Hotel tomorrow (Thursday) and Friday to facilitate essential resurfacing works.
Mission Road has become rutted by horses on the popular jarvey route to and from the National Park.
There have been several calls to have the road re-surfaced.
Signposted diversions will be in place.
In January 2020, before COVID-19 restrictions, several councillors called for a jarvey plan to be adopted in the town.
At that time a Killarney Municipal District meeting was told that the surface of Mission Road, which was resurfaced in January 2017, was already showing signs of deterioration.
In March 2019, the Council said it was researching various resurfacing materials including looking at how horse traffic was managed in New York&rsquo;s Central Park.
