Kerry is to receive almost €28 million in funding for national roads.
Transport Infrastructure Ireland's budget for 2021 has allocated €26.8 million for road improvements in Kerry, while a second tranche of funding worth just over €1 million will go towards road maintenance.
Minister for Education and Kerry TD Norma Foley is welcoming the announcement, saying it will go a long way to improving and maintaining the road network that is so vital to Kerry business and tourism.
The allocation of €28 million is an increase of nearly €3 million on 2020’s funding.
The Cathaoirleach of Kerry County Council, Councillor Patrick Connor-Scarteen, says the allocation will ensure greater connectivity, reduce travel times and, most importantly, make the roads safer.
