Several Killarney projects, along with one other countywide, have been delayed due to an internal procedural error at Kerry County Council.

The error involves a number of submissions made through the online public consultation portal that were not taken into account during the Part 8 development process.
As a result, the public consultation process will be re-commenced for three of the four affected projects. Two of the delayed projects are within the Killarney Municipal District.
These are the Redevelopment of Áras Phádraig, Lewis Road, Killarney, and Public Realm Improvements at Kenmare Place and Main Street.
The third delayed project is the Safety Improvement Works at Abbeydorney Junction in the Listowel Municipal District.
The fourth project impacted is the N22 MD O’Shea Roundabout to Ballycasheen Road Upgrade & L3907 Ballycasheen Road Active Travel Project, in the Killarney Municipal District.
However, as this project is still within the statutory timeframe, it does not require re-advertisement. An updated report, including all submissions, will be considered at next week’s upcoming Killarney Municipal District meeting.
A council official stated: “Kerry County Council wishes to confirm that a full check of the process in relation to the above developments has been carried out and to apologise for any inconvenience caused.”

Independent Cllr Martin Grady has welcomed the decision to revisit the redevelopment plans for Aras Padraig,

He said there is a need to address several key issues before the project proceeds and that he must act on "the feedback I'm getting from the people Killarney."
Cllr. Grady has voiced strong opposition to the proposal that would see prime council lands, originally granted to the council by the Friars for the benefit of Killarney residents, being used for the development.
He argues that the HSE possesses ample land and properties within the Killarney area that could accommodate the proposed centre.
"They have a massive property portfolio locally, countywide, and nationally," Grady said. He further expressed concern about the potential impact of the development on parking and traffic in the town, noting that the proposed Care Centre, with its 80 clinic rooms, would result in the loss of 59 car parking spaces and adding to existing traffic congestion.
Grady also highlighted the unfairness to residents of Lewis Road, who would face a five-story building constructed within meters of their properties.
"I can't vote for something that will have such an impact on the people of Killarney, with no excuse to put the care centre at the District Hospital and St Columbanus' Home," he said.
"I must vote based on the feedback I'm getting from the people Killarney."
