A Kerry county councillor says the roads and footpaths of Cahersiveen resemble a "war zone following a bombing raid".
Fianna Fáil's Michael Cahill is warning it's only a matter of time before a fatality occurs due to the road conditions.
He had described them as uneven, pot-holed, partially patched, with broken surfaces and loose rubble, adding that they are "an embarrassment to the whole county".
Kerry County Council has requested a deputation meet with Transport Minister Eamon Ryan and senior officials from Transport Infrastructure Ireland regarding the Ring of Kerry road.
