The National Parks and Wildlife Service of my Department has undertaken a comprehensive road repair programme in Killarney National Park over the winter months. The section of roadway in question was included in this programme of works and is now completely resurfaced and finished to a very high standard. This area is well serviced by an adequate footpath and trail network, which joins the main cark park to Torc. Accordingly, it should not be necessary for visitors to park to walk on or share the roadway with the horse drawn carriages.
