Fossa road issues set to be replicated at Ballycasheen

Concerns were raised this week that issues from the recent Fossa road improvements, which caused problems due to narrow lanes, were not being considered for a similar major junction at the other side of Killarney town.
Plans have been put forward for a new six-metre road lane from Ballycasheen to Daly’s Roundabout despite ongoing difficulties in Fossa.
Danny Healy-Rae discussed the matter in the Dail on Wednesday.
He highlighted that the national primary road from the Cork side into Killarney, which uses Daly's roundabout and the old bypass, handles around 40,000 vehicles daily.
While the roundabout itself worked well, traffic queues often stretched for miles from both the Cork Road and Tralee Road into Killarney.
The new plan also includes two cycleways and footpaths.
Crucially, the carriageway was to be narrowed to six metres. Healy-Rae argued this width was not enough for today's vehicles and believed the suggested €3 million cost would be much higher.
Healy-Rae also noted that a similar project in Fossa involved narrowing the N72, the national secondary road.
There, two large vehicles struggle to pass each other, often having to stop. He expressed serious concerns about applying such a design to the N22, a national primary road, at Ballycasheen.
Before the project at Daly's roundabout went ahead he requested that the Department of Transport review the project with officials.
