==Transport== Between 1893 and 1960, [[Farranfore railway station]], which opened on 18 July 1859,<ref>{{cite web| title=Farranfore station| work=Railscot - Irish Railways| url=http://www.railscot.co.uk/Ireland/Irish_railways.pdf| access-date=2007-09-04}}</ref> was known as Farranfore Junction, as it was the point where one boarded for the spectacular train ride to [[Valentia Harbour railway station|Valentia Harbour]], which was the westernmost railway in Europe.{{fact|date=June 2021}} Farranfore is notable in particular for its nearby airport, known as [[Kerry Airport]]. The single runway at Farranfore saw intensive use when [[Ryanair]] opened a base at the airport in July 2008. Ryanair flies daily from Farranfore to [[Stansted Airport|London Stansted]], [[Luton Airport|London Luton]] and [[Frankfurt–Hahn Airport|Frankfurt-Hahn]]. In the wake of its disagreements with [[Cork Airport]], it announced that it was moving its Liverpool service from Cork to Farranfore from June 2006 (this service subsequently ended later that year).
