Killarney House and its environs form an integral part of Killarney National Park and are its nearest aspect to Killarney town being virtually in it. In fact, the house and its environs back onto one of the town's streets. The town council, townspeople and people of Kerry are concerned that Killarney House has been locked up and idle for seven years. It is time for an early announcement of the Government's revised programme for the park. I use the word "revised" because the management plan which was originally launched over ten years ago is out of date and I gather there is a new one which exists in draft form.
