“I am delighted that An Bord Pleanála has given this project the green light. This greenway will bring huge tourism, social and economic benefits to the entire south Kerry area and I look forward to its construction at the earliest opportunity,’ he said.
Kerry County Council is currently considering the details contained in the An Bord Pleanála decision and will comment further in due course.
The greenway was the subject of a four-week oral hearing by An Bord Pleanala last October and November.
