I have to speak my mind: I believe good money has been wasted in these active travel projects. We will have to conclude what is on the books.

Continuing on the Ring of Kerry road, the N70, before Glenbeigh and after it there are two desperate bridges. They were built in the 1880s for horses and carts for one at a time. Two vehicles cannot pass on these bridges. The traffic on the Ring of Kerry is massive. Are there any plans to do anything with those bridges? One of them is the Caragh Bridge and I cannot think of the name of the one to the west of Glenbeigh. It is an S-shaped bridge. Are they included in any programme?
