He called on the council to write to Taoiseach Micheál Martin and the Minister for Transport Eamon Ryan in relation to a financial package for regional airports, particularly for the Farranfore-based facility.

He says such a package is necessary for their survival.

The Independent Cllr also highlighted the significant impact that Cork and Shannon airports have for this county, as they grant access to Kerry to visitors and business people.
