Residents of an area in Killarney are hosting a meeting this evening to highlight concerns about road safety.

Ballydribeen Residents Association is calling on Kerry County Council and Transport Infrastructure Ireland to provide footpaths at the entrance to the housing estates.

They’re located near the busy Cleeney Roundabout on the Tralee Road in Killarney, where there have been a number of accidents including a recent fatality.
