Funding secured for design phase of bypass road

Published

on

The Killarney bypass project, part of the Cork-Kerry Economic Corridor, has secured funding to advance to phase three of the design process.

Kerry County Council’s National Roads Office, in partnership with Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII), is leading the effort.

This phase will involve technical work and surveys at key locations to collect design and environmental data. The project team will liaise with landowners to provide notice of surveys and address any concerns.
Minister of State Michael Healy Rae and Deputy Danny Healy Rae played a role in securing the funding. Local councillors Maura Healy-Rae and Jackie Healy-Rae, representing the Killarney and Castleisland districts, will monitor the project’s progression.
The bypass is expected to improve connectivity between Cork and Kerry while easing traffic congestion in the region.

The Dr Crokes GAA Club Golf Society travelled to the coastal links of Waterville Golf Club for their latest outing, held in memory of the late Denis Coffey.

Denis was a highly regarded former player, member, and club officer, and the memorial event drew a strong turnout from society members and guests. The competition was sponsored by Brosnan & Co. Solicitors.
In a closely contested outing, Keith McMahon claimed the overall victory, finishing on 35 points to edge out John O’Leary on a countback. The scoring remained tight throughout the field, with John Lynch and David Byrne also featuring prominently on the leader board.
The prizegiving took place later that evening at The Speakeasy Bar in Killarney, where members of the Coffey family were present to hand over the trophies to the successful golfers.

Killarney actor Michael Fassbender is set to star alongside his wife, Alicia Vikander, for the second time in a feature film.

The couple has joined the cast of an upcoming Korean thriller titled Hope, directed by Na Hong-jin. The film is primarily in the Korean language, but Fassbender and Vikander will speak English in their roles.
The plot centres on a remote harbour town where residents make a mysterious discovery. This leads to a fight for survival against a threat they have never encountered. The cast also includes Hwang Jung-min, Zo In-sung, Hoyeon, and Taylor Russell.
This is the first time the pair has acted together since the 2016 drama The Light Between Oceans. In that film, they played a married couple living on a lighthouse island off the coast of Western Australia. While they both appeared in the 2015 documentary I Am Ingrid, the 2016 production was their only previous feature film collaboration.
The project marks a rare on-screen reunion for the Killarney man and the Oscar-winning actress. Production on Hope is currently underway.
