Kerry County Council can apply for national funding to create and upgrade walking and cycling routes.
€50 million has been made available to local authorities by the Department of Transport, to be administered by the National Transport Authority.
This is to support the development of high-quality cycling and walking infrastructure outside of cities.

Minister for Education and Kerry TD Norma Foley is welcoming the national funding, saying since the onset of COVID-19 there’s been an enormous increase in cycling and walking.
