Councillors in the Kenmare Municipal District have approved the roadworks programme for the area for this year.
Works will be carried out on non-national roads and national roads, while drainage works and footpath repairs will also take place.

The Restoration Improvement Programme will see €3.1 million spent on almost 27km of works in the Kenmare MD; over €1 million each will be spent in the Killorglin, Cahersiveen and Kenmare areas.
Over €623,000 has been allocated for 29km or works in the Restoration Maintenance Programme and over €309,000 will be spent on the drainage programme in the Kenmare MD.
€60,000 will go towards footpaths in the MD.
