A councillor hit out against the Council this week after the local authority failed to produce a detailed traffic plan for the town.

At Wednesday’s Killarney Municipal District meeting, Cllr Maura Healy-Rae, called to see the plan.

She has previously asked for a detailed traffic plan for the town at the last Council meeting held in September.

She was promised such a document would be presented at the November meeting. Her concerns were largely focused on school traffic in the New Road and Port Road areas of the town centre.

Engineer John Ahern produced an edited version of the Roads, Transportation & Marine Directorate monthly report. While the comprehensive report covers many aspects of Killarney future traffic plans it does not specifically address the New Road issue.

“Why has my previous request not been answered,” Cllr Healy-Rae asked the meeting.

“This is re-printed from a re-printed report, we can all read the report.”

Ahern replied: “I will discuss with the member after the meeting what she really wants, it may be outside my remit.”
