Kenmare councillor appeals for increased funding to Local Link services

A Kenmare councillor has urged for increased funding for Local Link services.

Fianna Fáil's Tommy Cahill submitted the motion at the most recent sitting of Kerry County Council

He said investment is needed to support rural communities across the county.

Cllr Cahill highlighted the need for connections between Glenbeigh, Glencar and Dromid; the Gap of Dunloe, Beaufort and Killarney, and improved links from Killarney to Mallow across the Kilcummin and Beaufort areas.

He urged the council to write to the National Transport Authority and Transport Minister to seek funding for increased frequency of services and expanded routes.
