There are calls to build a bus shelter in Barraduff.

The village has a growing population, with many young families now in the area but here’s no bus facilities in the area.

“Children must sit in their parents’ cars, while many left standing out in the elements waiting for the school bus. There’s a Bus Eireann stop there also so it will benefit all bus users,” said Cllr Martin Grady.

“The shelter will provide a safe designated area and may encourage people to use the bus rather than drive promoting sustainable commuting and eco-friendly travelling.”

Speaking at a recent Killarney Municipal District meeting Grady asked: “Could the council liaise with Bus Éireann seeking to erect a bus shelter at Barraduff to accommodate those using public transport and the school bus?"

A council official replied: “Kerry County Council is liaising with the Local Link and the National Transport Authority to roll out a programme of bus shelters and bus stop upgrades throughout the County.”
