Rural Depopulation
Kerry IFA requests that the County Development Plan takes into account rural depopulation, rural isolation and reduced services in rural areas.
Where possible Kerry IFA requests that all actions in the County Development Plan promote the development of rural communities both within and outside town and village boundaries and ensure those living and working in more isolated areas continue to receive the benefits associated with the development plan.
The provision of services, granting of planning permission, creation of employment and business opportunities can ensure the rural dwellers have the same standard of living as those citizens that choose to live in cities and large urban settlements.
