<h3>47 road projects and schemes in Kerry, including several in the Killarney area, will benefit from over €30m in funds allocated to Kerry County Council.</h3>



In total €626 million in Government funding will allow approximately 3,100kms of regional and local roads to be maintained and 2,550kms to be strengthened all over the country.



Kerry County Council has been allocated €30,950,225 under the funding scheme.



The two biggest projects to benefit under the programme is the Tralee Northern Relief Road which will receive €3,000,000, and Finnegan’s Cross&nbsp;near Kilcummin, which has been awarded €400,000.



Other schemes local to Killarney include €50,000 for the proposed Killarney Inner Relief Road and the New Road school zone will receive €100,000. Listry Bridge will also get €75,000 under the scheme.



Kerry TD Norma Foley welcomed the news.



“I am delighted to receive confirmation of this funding which will enhance, maintain and improve the quality of our regional and local road network in Kerry,” she said.



“I would like to thank my Cabinet colleagues Minister Eamon Ryan and Minister Jack Chambers for ensuring that Government continues to invest in our network of local roads which is vital for the connectivity of communities in Kerry. This funding will allow for crucial restoration and improvement works which will maintain a safe driving experience for all road users and ultimately protect lives.”
