Killarney

Kerry County Council is hoping to develop a pedestrian and cycle link from Torc Waterfall to the Dinish car park.
The local authority is in consultation with Fáilte Ireland, the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) and Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) to develop a route that would complete the ‘Muckross Loop’.
At a recent Killarney Municipal District meeting, newly appointed councillor John O’Donoghue asked: “That the Council would update the members on the progress made in conjunction with the NPWS on the provision of a Walkway/Cycleway adjacent to the N71 from the back entrance of Dinis towards Torc”.
In reply, a Council official said: “The Council are seeking a feasibility study to consider route options and will provide updates to members when available”.
Plans to provide parking at the Blue Pool walkway are advancing. The Council needs to acquire a portion of land to progress this project.
“The NPWS are still currently awaiting legal advice in regard to the disposal of lands,” the Council said. “On establishing the feasibility of the proposed project, the Municipal District will progress plans and examine funding streams that may facilitate this development.”
