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.”
