Kerry County Council is to go to tender in the coming weeks for part of the Island of Geese project.
The council will be seeking a contractor for the public realm portion of the former Denny site in Tralee; it's hoped construction may begin before the end of the year.
Meanwhile, early site investigations for works on Russell Street, Bridge Street and the Mall are to get underway from September 15th; there will be no impact on traffic or pedestrians.
A contractor for the works will be selected soon and are due to begin next month.
