With brand new dressing rooms, a state-of-the-art fitness centre and gym, a referee’s room, a training pitch, and a new walking track, locals are keen to show off their new facilities.

Kilcummin GAA Club are now inviting the public to the official opening of their new facilities on Sunday next (October 24).

It will kick-off at 2.30pm by County Board Chairman Tim Murphy and all are welcome to attend.

"Members and non-members are welcome to come and take a look around and to be a part of this important occasion," PRO for the club, Mike O’Riordan, said.

The upgrading of the club facilitates, which started in 2019, was made possible by generous support of club members and supporters from near and far, as well as funding received from the Munster Council and Sports Capital Grants.

The Executive and the Development Committee of the club have worked hard to bring the project to fruition but it is the countless hours of the dedicated and committed volunteers that ensured it became a reality.

"It could not have happened without this collective effort. The new facilities are a huge source of pride for the club and local community and the official opening is an event to celebrate this huge community project."

Club officers will be available to chat to anyone interested in memberships of the fitness centre or walking track and club merchandise will be available to purchase on the day. Light refreshments will be served.

"A Céad Míle Fáilte is extended to all," he said.

Repair works for the Killarney Public Realm project officially commenced on Monday, April 20, following approval from the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage.

This phase of the project, funded by the URDF, focuses on enhancing the streetscape and accessibility of both Main Street and Kenmare Place.
To allow the appointed contractors to carry out the investment safely, a section of the R-878 on Main Street, stretching from Kenmare Place to Plunkett Street, is now closed to traffic. This first period of construction is scheduled to run from April 20 until July 3.
Recognising the importance of the tourism season, the council has confirmed the street will fully reopen from July 4 to October 4 to accommodate peak summer traffic. Following this break, works will resume for a second period starting October 5 and running until December 4.
While vehicle diversions are in place, pedestrian access to all businesses and emergency service access will be maintained throughout the construction phases. Kerry County Council stated that these works are part of a wider programme to improve the safety and quality of the town centre and has thanked the public and local business owners for their cooperation during these essential improvements.
