N22 Farranfore to Killarney route further delayed
By Sean Moriarty
The revealing of the preferred route corridor for the construction of the new Killarney to Farranfore road has been delayed – again.
Last month the Killarney Advertiser reported that details of the new road would go on display before Christmas.
Four potential routes for the N22 Farranfore-Killarney project were identified and were put out to public consultation in May 2021. These have now been whittled down to just one.
Paul Curry of the National Road Design Office in Castleisland, told November’s Killarney Municipal District meeting that initial route surveys have been completed by his office and that the new road layout will go on public display in the Great Southern Killarney “by the tail end of November”.
The survey was subject to a peer review within the higher ranks of Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII).
However, Mr Curry has since written to all elected councillors in the Killarney Municipal District.
“Following the Transport Infrastructure Ireland, peer review of the Draft Option Selection Report for the N22 Killarney Project which was undertaken in October, further work has since been requested by the TII,’” he said in the letter.
“This request will delay the public display of the Emerging Preferred Corridor until at least Q1 2023. The additional work sought by the TII includes further appraisal of the Active Travel and Public Transport modes potential to meet the scheme objectives.”
Glenflesk GAA hosts cardiac screening clinic
Glenflesk GAA Healthy Club recently welcomed the Dillon Quirke Foundation to run a cardiac screening clinic for its young members.
A total of 45 club players aged 12 to 18 underwent vital heart checks designed to promote early detection and heart health awareness among young athletes.
Medical personnel from Advanced Medical Services conducted the screenings with professionalism and care, while the club’s Healthy Club Team oversaw the smooth operation of the event.
The Dillon Quirke Foundation operates without government funding, relying entirely on public support to raise awareness of Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS) and provide non-cost cardiac clinics to sports clubs across Ireland.
Glenflesk GAA encourages anyone wishing to support the foundation’s ongoing screening work to consider making a donation online at dillonquirkefoundation.com.
