It would take an estimated €50 million to complete all the roads approved for the Local Improvement Scheme in Kerry.

The estimate was provided by Kerry County Council at the recent monthly meeting, following a motion by Fianna Fáil councillor Niall Kelleher.

The council said as of January this year, the estimated cost of completing the LIS roads programme is about €50 million.

This estimate is based on 2022 rates for the cost of roadworks, and it does not allow for inflation.

The Department of Rural and Community Development allocated just under €800,000 for roads in the Local Improvement Scheme in Kerry this year.
