Plans for a major new relief road connecting Park Road to the N22 Killarney Bypass are moving forward following its inclusion in the National Development Plan.

At a recent meeting of the Killarney Municipal District, Councillor Niall Kelleher sought an update on the construction schedule for the long-awaited route known as the Strategic Link Road A-C road
It is anticipated that this project would take traffic from Park Road to the bypass via a new road.
In response, council officials confirmed that a preliminary design is currently being developed in consultation with local landowners and developers. Environmental assessments are also underway to evaluate the impact of the proposed scheme.
The project has reached several administrative milestones, with a revised Preliminary Business Case recently submitted to the Department of Transport for approval. Additionally, the local authority has held discussions with the Government Housing Activation Office regarding potential funding to support the development.
Once these departmental approvals are secured, the project will move into the Part 8 planning phase. Current timelines suggest that if the planning process commences in early 2026 as hoped, construction could begin by 2027.

The judging panel for the parade is also expected to include well-known make-up artist Annette O’Brien, who was recently named Make-Up Artist of the Year, and the popular father-and-son comedy duo Derry and Tadhg Fleming.
