Plunkett St needs to be discussed
Town centre traders say there is no point in discussing the current town centre situation while COVID-19 still exists in the country.
Pat Duggan, who operates Eager’s Newsagents says the current measures should remain in place for safety reasons but when the time is right a full and open discussion should take place on any future streetscape plans.
“We can't argue against safety measures,” he told the Killarney Advertiser. “As long as COVID is around we have to get our heads down and work with what we have.”
Reversing the full time closure of Plunkett St is one solution according to Mr Duggan.
“We have to think now about how are we going to get people into town for Christmas shopping, that is our next big hit,” he added. “Opening Plunkett St [to day time traffic] will help bring people back into town. Otherwise they will shop in Deerpark and other out of town places.”
Michael O'Leary who runs O'Leary's Expert Electrical on Plunkett St agrees in terms of COVID-19 restrictions but added the plan needs to be looked at in great detail in the future.
"Under COVID rules we have to accept it," he said. "It needs to be tweaked."
