Kerry County Council staff have been working since 6am to clear the debris from the roads. The council says Tralee Town Park will remain closed today to facilitate the clearing of trees and branches, while Childers Park in Listowel should be avoided while a clean up is underway.
There are a number of roads partially impassable in the county, however, earlier, the Tralee-Castlemaine Road, Main Street, Ballybunion, and the road at Rathass outside UHK reopened. The N71 Suspension Bridge in Kenmare remains closed and is impassable due to tidal flooding.
