A LOCAL councillor has expressed safety concerns about part of the old boundary wall at Tralee Racecourse.

Sinn Féin Cllr Cathal Foley was speaking at the online meeting of Tralee Municipal District on Monday, where he asked that Kerry County Council request the owners of the former racecourse to repair or remove the boundary wall at Clash Industrial Estate as he said it is in a very dilapidated and dangerous state.

He said the wall is in a terrible condition with parts of it falling down and stonework loose. While he said no one like to see historic walls demolished, something needs to be done.

Thankfully, he said, the footpath is on the other side of the road, but there were still safety concerns.

In reply, the Council said they would engage with the relevant property owners with a view to them considering these concerns and actioning any safety issues that may be identified.
