My Department continually reviews the condition of infrastructure, including roadways, in the National Parks and, where funding is available, priority maintenance and upgrading is carried out. In 2013, my Department commenced a programme of road maintenance works in Killarney National Park and I was very pleased to be in a position to approve an allocation of €100,000 this year for the continuation of those works. The works are expected to commence late summer and will be managed to best suit the operational priorities for the National Park, with an emphasis on minimising any inconvenience to visitors and other National Park users.
