A number of Kerry County Councillors have called for a busy stretch of the Ring of Kerry to be prioritised for salting during icy weather.
At the recent Kenmare Municipal District meeting, several councillors raised the issue of salting and gritting the stretch of the N70 between Coom a Ciste and Kelly’s Cross.
Cllr Patrick Connor-Scarteen called on the council to work with Transport Infrastructure Ireland to ensure the whole Ring of Kerry is salted when conditions are deemed cold and frosty.
Cllrs Dan McCarthy and Norma Moriarty also called for the stretch between Coom a Ciste and Kelly’s Cross to be included on the gritting programme for the county.
