Kerry Airport has teamed-up with a Killorglin company to be the world’s first airport to provide passengers with reliable information to track country entry requirements.

By clicking on the Important Travel Documentation icon on www.KerryAirport.ie passengers will quickly find details of the testing, COVID-19 travel documents and quarantine requirements as well as the vaccine acceptance in destination countries.

Kerry Airport currently services five Ryanair routes to London Luton, London Stansted, Manchester, Dublin, Faro and Alicante.

“Kerry Airport, unlike other airports and indeed airlines, has experienced good volumes of passenger traffic since the restrictions were eased in July. This is a welcome development, however, one of the biggest disruptors to the recovery of the travel industry has been a lack of clearly communicated data within countries and between countries. We are proud to partner with SafeScore, a local company, to bring the latest COVID-19 information to our passengers,” said the CEO of Kerry Airport Ireland, John Mulhern.

SafeScore, which is based in Killorglin’s RDI Hub, was founded in 2020 to solve the problems experienced by passengers when travelling the globe. The company’s solutions allows travel providers to reduce the strain on both themselves, and their customers.

“We are grateful to Kerry Airport for embracing our technology. We have all the data airports and airlines need to ensure smoother transitions, and improve the customer experience. Some of the important data points we include are, child PCR testing ages, locator form information, specific vaccine requirements, and more. We are origin and destination-specific, so we tailor our data according to the routes required. Our database is a one-stop-shop for information on global travel restrictions and requirements,” added Nicholas Gorman, CEO and Lead Founder of SafeScore.

New temporary entrance at Dunloe Hotel



Motorists travelling along the L4040 in Beaufort are being advised to exercise caution in the coming weeks following changes to the road layout at The Dunloe Hotel & Gardens.

A temporary site entrance and new tarmacadam surface have been installed on the L4040 to manage traffic during ongoing construction work at the hotel.

Temporary site hoarding, entrance gates, and a mobile site cabin are now in place to allow heavy machinery and construction vehicles safe access to the grounds as redevelopment progresses.

The temporary road layout will remain active for the duration of the multi-phase hotel upgrade works.

Once construction is fully completed, developers will remove the temporary entrance and return the hotel entrance configuration to its original layout.

Education Centre staff Chris Barron and Tara Buckley guided participants through the park to observe wildlife that becomes active after dusk.
Using bat detectors and night-vision binoculars, the group tracked local nocturnal species and learned about the nighttime ecosystem within the park grounds.
