The International Hotel is one of the many businesses along Kenmare Place that is affected by the outdoor dining construction work.

Owner Tracy Coyne says she understands the Jarvey's frustrations but is calling for the entire business sector to have patience as the finished product will enhance the town’s tourism offerings.

“Any initiatives to improve the Killarney product for our residents and our visitors is welcome and we are fully supportive. However, I can see the Jarveys viewpoint that starting the works at the busiest time of year is unfortunate but we have been given assurances by the Council about working hours, noise levels and cleanliness around the site so that impact on residents and visitors to Killarney can be minimised as much as possible so that the town centre can continue to be enjoyed by all,” she told the Killarney Advertiser.

“The International, like the Jarveys, will work hard to minimise the impact of the works on our guest experience. [Builder] Dan Canty is a highly professional contractor and has a great reputation for quality work. I am confident all the stops will be pulled out to ensure the project will be completed within the agreed time frames provided and the finished product will greatly enhance Kenmare Place.”

Yesterday (Thursday) the International Hotel placed its logos on the construction fence so passers-by will know that the hotel is behind it and open for business.
