At last November’s Killarney Municipal District meeting Kerry County Council engineer David Doyle presented plans for the future development of the town centre site that has been idle since 2009.
One of the key elements of the new Lewis Road project is the construction of the medical centre on the site. The centre will include doctor’s and dentist surgeries, an X-ray department and other primary care medical facilities. There are also plans to build a new car park on the site.
Cllr Brendan Cronin asked for an update on the project at yesterday's (Thursday) Killarney Municipal District meeting.
A Kerry County Council official said that a company called Reddy Architecture and Urbanism has been appointed to the project and it will provide a multi-disciplinary team including architectural, civil, mechanical and electrical engineering and quantity surveying services.
“[Reddy Architecture and Urbanism will provide] other specialists as required, for the preparation, design, tendering and overseeing of all works associated with the redevelopment of the Áras Phádraig site and car park at Killarney. Planning documentation will be finalised by Q2 2023,” said a Council official.
