Kerry County Council is inviting the people of Killarney to give their views on the draft Integrated Urban Strategy for the town, which is now at its final stage of preparation.

The strategy, part of the THRIVE Town Centre First Heritage Revival Scheme, sets out a plan for the future development of Killarney with a focus on its historic and cultural setting, improving connections, and enhancing streets and public spaces.
A number of heritage buildings, streets and public areas have been identified as having potential for regeneration, with opportunities for conservation, adaptive reuse, reducing vacancy and improving the vibrancy of the town centre.
Jean Foley, Town Regeneration Officer with Kerry County Council, said: “This strategy represents an exciting time for Killarney. It builds on the town’s rich heritage while setting out a vision for a more vibrant, inclusive, and resilient town centre. We’re encouraging everyone in the community to share their views during this final phase of consultation.”
The consultation is open until 4pm on October 19. The draft plan can be viewed at Kerry County Council, County Buildings, Rathass, Tralee, and at Kerry County Council, Killarney Municipal Area Office, Town Hall, Killarney, Co. Kerry, or online at
