Public-information session on Fossa enhancement works

Engineers and planners are this evening (Wednesday) meeting members of the public to discuss proposed changes in Fossa.

The proposed works will include a raised two-way shared use cycle and pedestrian facility on the south side of the N72 commencing west of the N72/R563 junction and ending at the N72/L4040 junction, a raised two-way shared use cycle and pedestrian facility on the north side of the road from the western 60kph speed limit sign to beyond N72 / L4040 junction (200m) and a raised one-way cycle and pedestrian facility from the western 60kph speed limit sign to the existing bus stop within Fossa Village (420m). A reduction to approximately 6.0m for the mainline carriageway width of the N72 is proposed and removal of the existing traffic calming measures at either side of the village, provision of a Zebra type pedestrian crossing outside Fossa Primary School, extending the existing public lighting network for the full extent of the proposal and all associated ancillary and accommodation works. Upgrading the N72/L4040 junction at “Gap Cross”. and the stone wall, gates and pillars outside the community centre could be widened and offset towards the road by approximately 11m.

Killarney Branch, Kerry Hospice Foundation are hoping the sun will shine for their Sunflower Day fundraiser which takes place on Friday, June 10.
There will be collections at various locations in and around town as well as Foley’s Spar Shop, Fossa and Hegarty’s Spar Shop, Muckross.
“This is our first Sunflower Day collection since 2019. It is one of our main annual fundraising events and is always well supported by the local community” says Cathal Walshe, PRO., Killarney Hospice Branch.
The services provided by Kerry Hospice Foundation for people with life limiting illnesses at it’s 15 bed inpatient unit and “Suaimhneas” Day Care Centre at University Hospital Kerry have been well documented in recent years. Also highlighted is the fact that it costs in the region of €10,000 weekly to provide these services.
Kerry Hospice Foundation has plans for further expansion of its services into the future. An outreach clinic has already been set up at Killarney Community Hospital where patients can meet with a Palliative Care Specialist. This service along with the existing services would not be possible were it not for the generous support Kerry Hospice gets from the people of Kerry.
People can find out more about the work of Kerry Hospice Foundation at www.kerryhospice.com, on Facebook or on Twitter @kerryhospice.
