The town of Killorglin is in mid-Kerry and is a vibrant town that serves a broad hinterland in the mid-Kerry area. It also has its challenges. One of the opportunities for the town now is the rural regeneration and development fund and Kerry County Council has applied for funding in Killorglin to try to develop the town centre. This is to try to give Killorglin an economic boost and an opportunity to provide jobs into future for people in the area, as well as a better place to live. It is really important that Killorglin is successful in the forthcoming round of rural regeneration and development funding. I have been liaising with the Minister for Rural and Community Development on the matter but I ask the Tánaiste to personally intervene and ensure the town can get the money it needs to secure its future.
