The proposed Adare Bypass is a particularly significant project for the county of Kerry, as it is one of the main entry/exit points for the Kingdom, according to the Deputy Mayor of Kerry County Council and Cathaoirleach of Kenmare Municipal District, Councillor Michael Cahill.

“The transit of people and goods in and out of Kerry, is much restricted and delayed by poor traffic conditions at Adare and the proposed bypass would be a godsend. However, An Bórd Pleanála have once again postponed announcing their decision within the planning process” stated the Fianna Fáil man.

“The question must be asked if An Bórd Pleanála is equipped for this task? Is it properly resourced, is it sufficiently staffed? From the number of postponements experienced during the decision on The South Kerry Greenway, and subsequent legal challenges to it, some still pending, is the correct type of professional expertise available to An Bórd Pleanála,”  saidCouncillor Cahill.

“The likes of the Adare Bypass and the South Kerry Greenway are major public infrastructure projects being progressed on behalf of our people. Taking ten and twenty years to complete them because of red tape and slow moving bureaucracy is absolutely unforgivable” stated the Rossbeigh based Councillor.

“It appears to me that An Bórd Pleanála is overdue a total shakeup in personnel and procedures and that legislation in this area requires to be brought up to date and streamlined. Personnel rights and Environmental concerns need to be built in to a robust system which allows depositions from interested parties affected in the locality. All objections must be taken on board and dealt with in a speedy and considerate manner and the decision made should then be final. We have been strung along for far too long with two of the biggest projects ever for our county, the South Kerry Greenway and the Adare Bypass and the time for progress is now. These two massive projects are essential to the economic recovery of County Kerry” added Councillor Cahill.
