Officials from Uisce Éireann have told Kerry County Councillors that work on a €2 million plus investment in Castleisland is expected to start shortly.

Representatives from the utility  told councillors today that more than 3,000 metres of the area’s trunk water main will be refurbished.

Deputy Danny Healy-Rae has welcomed the news and said he had been making representations for funding over the last number of years.

Cllr Jackie Healy-Rae said that officials said that work could start as soon as the middle of next month.

Cllr Charlie Farrelly said the new water main will replace the existing pipe, which he said, has burst on many occasions over the past five years.

The new watermain will connect Ballymacadam reservoir to Castleisland town.
