The revealing of the preferred route corridor for the construction of the new Killarney to Farranfore road has been delayed – again.

Last month the Killarney Advertiser reported that details of the new road would go on display before Christmas.

Four potential routes for the N22 Farranfore-Killarney project were identified and were put out to public consultation in May 2021. These have now been whittled down to just one.

Paul Curry of the National Road Design Office in Castleisland, told November’s Killarney Municipal District meeting that initial route surveys have been completed by his office and that the new road layout will go on public display in the Great Southern Killarney “by the tail end of November”.

The survey was subject to a peer review within the higher ranks of Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII).

However, Mr Curry has since written to all elected councillors in the Killarney Municipal District.

“Following the Transport Infrastructure Ireland, peer review of the Draft Option Selection Report for the N22 Killarney Project which was undertaken in October, further work has since been requested by the TII,’” he said in the letter.

“This request will delay the public display of the Emerging Preferred Corridor until at least Q1 2023. The additional work sought by the TII includes further appraisal of the Active Travel and Public Transport modes potential to meet the scheme objectives.”

This is the first meeting since the club broke up for the summer – new members are invited to attend the open meeting later this month .

“Our final competition of the last season was our Open Print competition in June, and 20 unique and enthralling prints were on display in The Brehon on the night. Well done to everyone who put in the time, effort and expense to enter the competition. Thanks also to the many members who were involved in the logistics of bringing the season’s end competition to fruition.,” said club secretary Deirdre O’Donoghue.

“Throughout the year we hold a series of zoom meetings, fortnightly, and also have many in-house presentations of guest speakers , in their respective areas of photographic expertise , as well as occasional photographic outings throughout the club’s calendar year.”

A new initiative from Kilcummin Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann in association with Conor Moriarty sees the branch offer group music classes for those interested in traditional playing.

Conor is combining with the branch to gather musicians form beginner to advanced to give the ultimate group music experience.

“Its a great chance for newer players to learn from Conor, who himself is a champion musician but also from the other musicians that will attend the group in what undoubtedly will also offer a social outlet to all involved,” said Derek O Leary, PRO of Kilcummin Comhaltas CCE.

Conor has enormous previous experience. He is one of Irelands leading accordion players starting his playing career at the age seven. In 2009, Conor was crowned All-Ireland Champion on Melodeon at Fleadh Cheoil na hEireann and followed that up by becoming senior All-Ireland accordion Champion in 2010.

He also completed his MA in Irish traditional music performance at University Limerick that same year. He has worked professionally with many organisations including Siamsa Tire and more recently Gaelic Roots the show. He is also a much sought after music teacher where he has always enjoyed passing on his knowledge to the next generation.

The group sessions start on September 27 for an initial five-week term from 6.30 pm to 7.30 pm in Kilcummin Rural Development Office.
