Councillor Tommy Cahill has welcomed the long-awaited repair and refurbishment of the road from Beaufort Bridge to just beyond the junction with the Beaufort Bar was completed this week.

“I’m delighted that my first welcome as Councillor is refurbishing the road from the Beaufort Bridge to the Beaufort Bar junction. This is a project that my father, Deputy Michael Cahill as a Councillor pushed hard for the people of Beaufort as the road was left in a terrible state following pipe replacement work there,” said Councillor Cahill.
The project was partially funded by Uisce Éireann.
“I am delighted as well that works have already commenced on the extension to Churchtown Burial Ground, also in Beaufort and are currently ongoing. Another project that my Dad was deeply involved in, facilitating mediation meetings between the landowner and Kerry County Council, etc, which ensured that the people of Beaufort could continue to have the remains of their deceased loved ones buried in their home parish. This is a huge relief to all residents in Beaufort. All in all, this is great news for Beaufort,” added the Cahill.
