LIGHTING is urgently needed at a major junction in Clonkeen, Killarney, to ensure safety, according to Kerry TD Michael Healy-Rae.

Deputy Healy-Rae is seeking funding for work to be carried out at Poulgorm Cross, which is located where the R569 Killarney-Kenmare Road meets the N22 Killarney-Cork Road.

The Kerry TD is calling on Kerry County Council, Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) and the Department of Transport to ensure lighting is provided at this junction.

Kerry TD Michael Healy-Rae has called on Minister for Transport Shane Ross and his Department to provide funding for eight overhanging lights – four on either side of the road – to be erected where the R569 meets the N22 main Killarney-Cork Road.

“Lighting is urgently needed at this area, I am getting reports of people who are now finding themselves missing the cross, especially in the winter time when it is dark much earlier. It is very easy to miss the junction and for such a major junction I do believe that it is vital to have lighting here for safety,” said Deputy Healy-Rae.

Also by having lighting at this area it will also encourage people to slow down as they are coming down the county bounds or coming from Killarney, said Deputy Healy-Rae.

“I have called on the new Minister for Transport Shane Ross through discussions with him and by means of Parliamentary Questions to provide this much-needed funding for this work to be carried out.

“Also I have raised this with Light Management of Kerry County Council as I believe this matter needs urgent attention.”
