The Killarney bypass is one of the road projects that the Government and the Greens have halted in recent days. This bypass has been promised for over 25 years. This road is to go from Farranfore to Lissivigeen and from Lissivigeen to Castlelough and Muckross. All the access roads into Killarney and the town itself are choked on a daily basis. The financial well-being of the county is being jeopardised by this further and reckless delay. Hundreds of housing planning applicants cannot even apply for planning as large tracts of land are sterilised until the preferred route is identified and as four routes are being proposed, there is an awful area of land being sterilised for over 20 years.
