“Funding of €66,431 has been allocated to Kerry Airport. This is part of a €1.2 million regional airport fund set to benefit Donegal, Ireland West and Waterford, as well as Kerry Airport.
Kits for Firemen
“The funding of €66,431 will be used to upgrade airside security doors, to purchase an emergency security vehicle and for 12 fireman kits.
This funding has been specifically allocated to support safety and security investments at the airport that have already been approved by the Department
