The Government would be interested in purchasing Conor Pass in Co Kerry but not for €10 million, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said
THE GOVERNMENT WOULD be interested in purchasing Conor Pass in Co Kerry but not for €10 million, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said.
It includes 1,400 acres in total. This includes 400 acres of mature forestry & 1000 acres of mountain grazing land. “But this is taxpayers’ money and, if there’s a reasonable price that we can agree, well, then I think we’d like to take it into public ownership, but the price has to be reasonable.”Speaking yesterday on RTÉ’s Liveline, the owner of the pass, Mike Noonan, confirmed the guide price of €10 million and said it was his wish to keep all the lands together.“It would be nice if the Government would look at it as far as a park or anything like that,” he said.
Following on from the announcement of the sale, Fianna Fáil Senator Malcolm Byrne called on the Government to purchase Conor Pass.
