The Killarney branch of Bank of Ireland will undergo a major refurbishment this year.

The New Street bank is one of 18 branches nationwide earmarked for improved access and new ATMs.
The bank says the upgrading of ATMs is the biggest investment in such machines in over ten years.
The ATMs can be used for both withdrawals and lodgements and the majority will ‘recycle’ cash so deposited cash can be used for withdrawals too..
“Like any other company, being profitable allows us to improve our business. Given the large number of customers which we serve, major re-investment is required every year. I’m really happy that this latest investment will see all customers across all counties benefit with the most modern and efficient ATMs,” said Susan Russell, CEO, Bank of Ireland Retail Ireland.
“As a full service retail bank, with a presence in communities throughout the island of Ireland, we are committed to continually improving our services and the financial wellbeing of customers. This means re-investing purposefully in branches, contact centres, technology, ATMs and other infrastructure to ensure our customers have the most modern and efficient banking available.”

Focus Ireland submits amended plans for housing development

Published

on


Focus Housing Association CLG, the housing arm of Focus Ireland, has lodged a fresh planning application with Kerry County Council seeking amendments to an already approved housing scheme at Woodlands Industrial Estate, Killarney Bypass Road.

Focus Ireland submits amended plans for housing development


Permission was originally granted under reference 21/205 for 67 residential units on the site. The revised application keeps the total number of homes at 67 but proposes several changes to the design and layout.
The basement would be reconfigured to include water and attenuation tanks, a lift pit and an ESB substation. On the ground floor, bicycle parking would increase to 136 spaces and the bin storage area would be altered. Car parking would reduce from 80 to 74 spaces, still providing four accessible bays.
The amount of communal open space would drop from 719 square metres to 375 square metres following the removal of a roof terrace. Internal layouts and circulation on each floor would also change, with a proposed mix of 33 one-bedroom and 34 two-bedroom units.
According to the application, the total gross floor area of the development would increase by around 871.5 square metres. Kerry County Council will now consider the amended plans.
