Traffic counters have been placed on several roads in the Killarney area as part of selection process for the proposed new route to and from Farranfore.

Kerry County Council has four route options under consideration for the new N22 and a new link road to Muckross. A Farranfore by-pass is also part of the proposed scheme.

Earlier this week, traffic counters were placed in various approach roads to Killarney. These include one in Brennan’s Glen, another on the Mallow Road, and one near Kerry Airport amongst other locations.

The counters will be in place until the end of next week.

“These counts are being carried out to inform the development of the N22 Farranfore to Killarney Project and are being undertaken both this week and next week,” a Kerry County Council spokesperson told the Killarney Advertiser.

“The data obtained will be used to create the scheme traffic model which is a key model in the Project Appraisal process.”

Local stars at the heart of Kerry’s hunt for Camogie league glory

The Kerry Intermediate Camogie team travels to St Rynagh’s GAA in Banagher on Saturday, (April 11), to face Meath in the Centra Camogie League Division 2 final.

The match marks a “trilogy” of sorts between the two sides, who have met in the final twice in the last three years, with one win apiece.

Meath took the honours in 2023, but Kerry struck back in 2024 to claim the title. This weekend’s encounter is the third league final for both counties in the space of just four years, cementing a fierce modern rivalry.

Kerry enter the final in top form following an unbeaten league campaign, recording four wins and one draw from their five matches.

Five Killarney-area players are central to the squad’s success this season. Kate Lynch (Glenflesk/Clanmaurice), a mainstay since 2020, has successfully transitioned from midfield to become one of the team’s most dangerous forwards.

She is joined by dual stars Danielle O’Leary (Rathmore/Clanmaurice) and Kathryn Ryan (Glenflesk/Killarney Camogie Club).

O’Leary has made a significant impact since returning to the camogie fold after focusing on football, while Ryan has gained valuable inter-county experience as an impactful presence throughout the campaign.

The Killarney Camogie Club is also represented by Áine Devlin and Tiarna Dineen, both of whom have played key roles in securing Kerry’s place in the final.
