.KERRY County Council has today published details of the public consultation on the construction of another section of the South Kerry Greenway near Cahersiveen.
The 1.3km section of the amenity will run parallel to a local road at Cloghanelinaghan which overlooks the Cahersiveen estuary.
When completed, this part of the greenway will connect to the Cahersiveen Viaduct and on to Cahersiveen town to the south and, on the northern side, will adjoin a further section of the greenway towards Kells.

The Cloghanelinaghan section of the greenway was omitted from the original planning application pending further investigation and assessment.
Following the completion of all the necessary screenings and evaluations, the public consultation (under Part 8 of the Planning and Development Regulations, 2001) will commence this week and run until May 27.
The proposed works involve the construction of a paved surface and the installation of fencing, signage, drainage and landscaping works.
The plans and particulars of the project will be available on kerrycoco.ie and can also be inspected in County Council offices in Tralee, Cahersiveen and Castleisland.
Submissions must be received by June 11, following which a report of the consultation process and submissions will be presented to the elected members of Kerry County Council.
Meanwhile, work continues on the construction of other sections of the greenway, including a further 2km section of the route between Glenbeigh and Mountain Stage, which will open to the public in June, as well as the installation of an underpass at Gorntagree on the N70 road.
