WITH the Status Red weather warning still in effect for Kerry and with further snowfall and freezing conditions anticipated this evening and tonight, the Kerry Local Coordination Group is appealing to members of the public not to travel for the rest of today.
At this stage, national primary routes in the county have been treated by County Council staff, but only for the purpose of ensuring ease of access for essential emergency services.
Motorists are warned to stay off the roads which are extremely dangerous – public safety is paramount, and nobody should risk their own safety or that of others.

The Group will continue to monitor the weather warnings and will issue further advisories in relation to travelling conditions tomorrow. Members of the public should heed all advice – including that for the National Emergency Coordination Office – before any travel is undertaken.
The Group thanks the public for heeding the advice issued to date. Emergency contact details are available on www.kerrycoco.ie and on social media.
