Updates on proposed Ring of Kerry closure
Kerry County Council are proposing to close the N70 road from Caitín’s pub to the Glenbeigh side of the Gleensk Viaduct from 8pm to 7am for a period of 11 weeks from October to December 15 to facilitate essential works to support the embankment at the road below the Viaduct.
Any person having an objection to these proposals should lodge same, in writing, with the Administrative Officer, Kerry National Roads Office, Kerry County Council, The Island Centre, Castleisland, Co. Kerry or email to info@kerry.nrdo.ie not later than 5.00 pm on Monday 21" August 2023.
“As I have already stated, this closure, even though night time only, will be very intrusive on the lives of many people travelling in and out of South Kerry and Iveragh areas, including businesses for a long period. I am assured that these works are essential and that access will be allowed for emergency vehicles only, when required” said Fianna Fáil Councillor, Michael Cahill.
“An alternative route is to be signposted for those who wish to travel during the closure period. Kerry County Council has also invited submission of any objections by mail or email. This will be a huge inconvenience for anybody depending on the N70 route, but it appears that there is no alternative for the sake of safety.”

The Dóchas Drama Group will run a series of short plays at the Muckross Schoolhouse from December 5 to 7.
The group’s annual performance has been switched to the Muckross venue as its traditional base – the ballroom in the Killarney Avenue Hotel is being refurbished.
“If you are fed up with the incessant rain and constant bad news. Do you need a break? Are tired of listening to advice about your Christmas cake recipe? There is a perfect solution,” said the group’s Liz Ryan.
“We will present six short plays and some of the questions you may ask yourself are:
“Why is Jane suddenly so honest?
“What did happen on December 9. Will Tiffany be promoted? Will Mags eventually find love?
“Can lost love be re-kindled? What do grandparents get up to when they’re babysitting?
For answers to these questions and more, come along to Muckross Schoolhouse on December 5, 6 and 7.”
