A dedicated deer viewing park and associated car parking facilities are under consideration by Killarney Municipal District.

 

The deer grazing area opposite the entrance to Muckross House is a popular deer spotting area but Mayor Cllr Michael Gleeson says he has received expressions of concern from members of the public as cars stopping at the location cause traffic safety concerns.

 

At the recent Killarney Municipal District meeting Cllr Gleeson said: “As the many motorists who stop and park by the side of the Killarney to Molls Gap roadway to view the grazing deer in the fields across the road from the driveway to Muckross House & Gardens sometimes create a traffic hazard, I ask that the Council would develop a lay-by where cars could be safely parked while the occupants feast their eyes on the elegant animals.”

 

A Council official said that matter would be looked into.

 

“The need for such a facility will be examined in the context of predicted level of use, likely cost and road safety. If the findings indicate that the project is feasible the proposal will be forwarded to the TII for its consideration.”

The Dóchas Drama Group will run a series of short plays at the Muckross Schoolhouse from December 5 to 7.

The group’s annual performance has been switched to the Muckross venue as its traditional base – the ballroom in the Killarney Avenue Hotel is being refurbished.

“If you are fed up with the incessant rain and constant bad news. Do you need a break? Are tired of listening to advice about your Christmas cake recipe? There is a perfect solution,” said the group’s Liz Ryan.

“We will present six short plays and some of the questions you may ask yourself are: 

“Why is Jane suddenly so honest?

“What did happen on December 9. Will Tiffany be promoted? Will Mags eventually find love?

“Can lost love be re-kindled? What do grandparents get up to when they’re babysitting?

For answers to these questions and more, come along to Muckross Schoolhouse on December 5, 6 and 7.”
